Col. Cn... GARRISON IN Trous,.,

u
On Tuesday. Col. Charles Clsrkson
was arrested AMI taken before ,Jus,,cs
Barr. on q charge OF obtaining money BY
false pre,enses. 1t is clsirned by the
prosecuting witness, DR.. Stormont. that
in December. 1867. Col. Clsrkson asked
of him loan OF $3.50. representing th,,
Prof. Dsun.son. President Of the Agrrcul
tural College. owed him $3.50. payable
in State scrip. which wonld bs due in
short time, and out OF which the loan
was to be reimbursed. 1t turned out,
however, that the boot was on the 9th
er leg, and that, instead of Denni,on
owing Clarksou. Clarkson owed, and is
still owing. Denni-on a large amount.
Clark.on was held to bail in the sum OF
81 900. Dr. Tsfft being his surety.
THIS may be regarded as the opening
gun of a campsigu. in which ar army o.
swindlsd creditors are srr.yei npon the
one side, and the obese, titled Clsr kson
upon the other. As everybody knows.
the Colonel was. during the las, three ad.
ministrations. chief clerk in the Gffics o.
the Secretary Of State. His capacity was
good; his presence unetuous and agree
able; his manners besming and kindly
his conversation oily and benevolent; hi
piety unques,ioned. He believed in do
ting the grsstest good TO the greatest NUN

The Colonpl's modus operandi wa
about as follows: There was then nc
money in the treasury. and scrip was o
ninety cents or lower. A consultation
OF the almanac would inform the oper
stor at what times quarterly salaries wers
due. Then he would write to the par
ties, and suggest to them that il they
would send their scrip to him. he woul,
collect it and pay them ITS face in thirt,
days. or he would sea them personally
: and Obtain the scrip on the same terms
Then he would procsed directly to tn

1t is sometimes snusiBg to observe the
manner in which citizens of Kansas, OF
eight or ten years standing. regard those
of the new emigration. When any of
these new comers presume to express an
opinion or hold On argument on Kansas
affairs with and old settler. how promptly
be is advised to go slow, and reminded
that he is rather to fresh here 20 pitch in
so rashly-thst be is nothing bot Car.
pet Bagger.
This is the manner in which the set.
tiers of 1866 looked upon the emigra.
tion of 1867 and later years. A good
m sny Of them, even now, will not admit
that settler of later date than 1856
deserves any credit for securing freedom
for Kansas; aud when Pioneer Associs.
tions are talked of, they revolt at the very
idea Of settlers Of 1867 being admitted
Now. the truth is. the emigration Of 1867
was W. hat saved Kansas to freedom. The
old settlers had been standing out glori-
ously. and doing their best; bat they
were in a hopeless minority, powerless to
carry an election. and did nothing but
protest against all elections as frauds and
outrages. Not until the emigration Of
1851 poured in. did they attempt to meet
the Pro-Slavery party at their own polls.
and then i. was with many misgiviugs
and much opposition. The emigration
of 1857 carried the Territory for the Free
State party. and enabled the Free State
people Of Kansas to protest authoritative.
ly against Pro-Slavery frauds; and the
emigration of 1857 strsngled and buried
the Lecompton Constitution.
We find the same old spirit ex.ant
still. II citizen of one or two years in
Kansa. takes On active part in politics.
and especially if- be comes up for office,
the cry is at once raised that be is new
conner. and don't know any thing about
Kansas and her vents; and the attempt
is made TO kill him of on that issue.
The peoplo of Kansas are constantly call
ing for more settlers, and no effort is
spared no Indictment withheld. to en-
courage people to come. How would it
sonnd to invite them thus: Come and
take homes on our glorious soil and in
our glorious climate, and share all the
advantages of our splendid ycuug Stale.
We want you here; but you must not
express your opinions too freely. nor ask
for office. The Offices belong to MS old
settlers. and you mnst be content to vote
for us. How wonld that sound? That
is the usual practice. The fact is, the
people who have come here in the last
two or three years have an overwhelming
majority. and if they so desired. could
carry the State, and nearly every Comfy

that they wish so jsalously to guard

A FUss.-Atchison and Lssvenworth
are 10 . big fuss over their railroads
Atchison got up a celebration in honor OF
the completion of the railroad; but they
claim thst Lesvenworth is jealous of her.
and that citizsns of Leavenworth have
sent insulting replies to invitations. and
thrown obstacles in the way of the celebra-
tion. Atchisou has determined to cele.
brate notwithstanding. and has made ar
rsngsments for the St. Louis guests to
come by way Of Kansas City and the
Missouri Valley Road. without touching
Lesvenworth. The City Council Of
Atchison has repealed the ordinance
granting the right of wsy to the Leaven-
worth Road. on the ground that the Com.
papy has not fulfilled its contracts. and
has ordered the City Marshal to remove
all distractions from certain streets, csus-
ed by the Railroad Company. This
quarrel is going to do neither Leaven.
worth nor Atchison any good.

H
This is little higher than last years
taxes. The County tax is lower than it
has been for q number Of years. This
years levy covers nearly all the Railroad
Bonds voted BY the County. SO that
hereafter there con be but little increase
on that account; and this year. the State
tax is probably double what it will be
next. Taking these things into conside-
ration. together with the fact that the
wealth and population Of the Comfy are
rapidly on the increase. and it is safe to
calculate that hereafter our taxes will be
much lighter than the present year. =
