PRIce RAID ScRIp.-Our readers are
aware that We have repeatedly asserted
thatlbs matter of allowing the Price
Raid Claims was purposely deferred un.
til those who were in the "ripg" had
bought up oil the scrip for q mere trias.
The appropriation failed to pass last
Winter. simply because Sidney Clarke
did not press it. The Lesvenworth Con-
ssrvstivs says that the satellites who re-
volvs around Clarke are now busy all over
State buying up the scrip at the lowest th,
prices they can get it at. which mssns
that about next Winter the claims will
be paid. Those who have the scrip. had
better hold on to it. Better lose it out
right, than to give it swsy for thieves to
enrich themselves on.

STILL They Cone The Junction
Union is in favor of q war against cor.

it calls the "Educationsl Ring" that has

its proposition is not intended to direct

Kansas land question, confirming the

decision was made about the time whom
Sidney Clarke. George II. Hoyt and
John Speer were among the settlers on
the Neutral, Lands, baranguing them.
encouraging them TO resist the laws. and
fattering thsm with the delusion that
they would come out triumphant What
course this trio Of demsgogues will now

But we wonder whether Secretary Cox

nifcant. that every movement to make
new labor available, is denounced by the
Democratic papers as war upon the
Irish. The proposed employment oI
Chinese house servants is called . move.

paper. on this question, makes tho fol.

the North from rebel devastation was a
Republican issue. and that those who re.

aid rebel invasion. were Democrats. 1t

SHOOTING AFFaIR.-.On Saturday night,
a somewhat serioas aifray came off in a

drew revolver and fired; Blair started
to run across the street. Hays firing sgain,

ers. who hsve been disappointed. and are

walked SO far 10 one day. that it took
him Q week to walk back. He worked

States Senstorship, and based bis claim

much reason to chergs that the above
named editors are defending Pomeroy and
Clarke in payment for getting their off.
css, % for their side to say that editors
who denouncs those two worthless are dis.

Bot this cry Of "office. seeking" is Q
dodge undertaken at the command Of
Clarke himself. to break the force Of the
blows that are falling upon bis own guilty
head. The idea is second hand, IS are
oil bis ideas. At the beginning of the
rebellion. Bsauregsrd recommended that,
in speaking of the supporters of the Uu-
ion. they always be termed Abolitionists.
He thought this would make them so un-
popular and obnoxious that they could
easily be crushed ont. But the epithet
became popular very soon. and it was
actually Abolition that triumphed over
treason. Clarke will meet with about
the same success with his cry of "ofice
seekers" One of the these fine days,
when recovering from fit of giggling
over bis own wit, he will discover that
the "offics-seekers" have him BY the
