ave do not think that his failing to
get all Office for each particular editor
in the State" etc, F'are sufficient reasons
for the publication of so many extreme
~ vindictive and defamatory articles as
have emanated IRON the press of this
State within the last few years. NY
.0hdotte Gazette.
The above is from the pen of r. b.
Taylor, in defense of Pomeroy. He
must have high opinion of his edfto-
rial brethren if he really thinks they are
controlled by such motives as he attri-
butes to them. We have always had
the fortune to be anti-Pomeroy, and
think brother Taylor don't mean us. If
he docs include us, we will take some
A)afns to convince him he is wrong. Sc
irieusly, Taylor, don't you think the
evidence of corruption is as strong
against Pomerpy as it was against Car
ney, when you belabored him SO last
year? If you don't think SO you must
be little prejudiced. Pomeroy boast
ed that his last election to the Senate
~.cost him fortune" So we have been
told by good men; and there is certain
" no doubt about his rascality in Indi-
an treaty transactions. We can say, we
have nothing personally against POme-
roy not a thing. We never asked him
for n favor, and probably should not if
he was to remain i'll his present position
"a quarter of century, and we should be
his constituent during the time. His
acts as Senator are public property.
We shall discuss them, and what we
consider wrong shall condemn. So
with other public men. If we can be
convinced we have wronged him or any
one else we will endeavor to make
amends. We do not believe we are
mis-informcd as to the disgraceful con-
duct of Pomeroy in many transactions.
We are surprised at what seems to us
an Inconsistency in the Gazette in pro-
nouncing him Intelligent and moral -
willie it "goes for" other men not so
bad. Taylor are you not as liable to
the charge of corrupt motives as those
who are dcnouncing Pomeroy? We
would not make such a charge against
YOU, because we believe you honest, but
don't you see it is ilIibcral, narrow
contracted and small to make such
charges against men because they differ
with you. Your faith in your cause is
very weak when you have no better ar
gument than that against your oppO-
nents.

INDIAN MATTERS.

ST.. LOUIS, July 3.-Gcneral Sheridan
has issued instructions derived from
the General of the army to the follow
ing effect: All Indians when on their
proper reservations are under the ex-
will not be interfered with i'll any man
ner by the military authorities, except
upon requisition of the special agent
resident with them, his superintendent
or the Bureau of Indian Affairs at
Washington. Outside the well defined
limits of their reservation, they are I'M
der the original and exclusive jurisdic-
ton of the military authorities, and as
q rule will be considered hostile The
Commissioner of Indian Affairs has in
structed his superintendent and agents
regarding Indians now on their reser-
vations, and under their orders, and de-
partment commanders will make use of
every means practicable to inform the
Indians not on reservations of the
wishes aud intentions of the Govern
ment towards them, and of the location
of their respective reservations All
Indians to whom this information has
been given, who do not Immediately
remove to their reservations will be re-
garCled and treated as hostile, wherever
they may be found, and particularly if
they are near settlements OH the great
lines of communication. Department
commanders will give such instructions
as may be necessary for perfect I'M
dcqstanding of their duty under all
circumstances on the part of post and
detachment commanders.

MoEE INJUNcrroNs.-The Lawrence

MoHE INJUNcTIoNs.-The Lawrence
Republican Journal of late issue says:
"Wc don't like to hear about injunc-
lions. 1t is an unpleasant subject to
write about. 1t is with great dissatis-
faction that we learn that the stockhold-
ers in the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
road talk of getting out an Injunction
against giving TO Willis Gaylord, Pome-
rows brother-in-law, 100000 acres of
Pottawatomie lands, which, as we IN
deFstand, he claims as attorneys fees, or
something of the kind. Of course no
one supposes that Gaylord ever did SER
vice amounting in value to 100000 acres
Of Pottawatonie lands, or that If he
should receive a title to the lands they
would long remain in his possession. 1t
is convenient for a Senator TO have a
brother-in-law through whom to do
business. The brother-in-law system is
an excellent one. "And then came" the
Rev. Moses Brown, collecting Indian
funds" and "propagating the gospel.
By all means let US have the injunc-
ton or something else that will cause
Pomeroy's transactions in the above
matter, as well as other land grants, 10
be sifted. If he is guilty of the corrup-
ton charged, the people want to know
it; if he is not, they want to know it.
The public are not governed by motives
of spite or jealousy. 1t is due to them
that the truth should be known. Let us
have the injunctiuns.

FAIR PLAY.-Thc Topeka Record i'll
examining the political his tory of Kan
sas, notices that the cities of Lawrence
and Atchison have almost always furn-
ished Senators and Representatives for
the State. Indeed, we find that with
the single exception of Mr.. Wilder, OF
Leavenworth, who served single term
in the House, our members of Congress
have invariably been taken from one or
the other of the two cities above named.
Mr.. Conway, our first Representative,
was from Lawrence and SO, likewise
is Mr.. Clarke, the present Representa-
tive, and successor to Conway. Of the
Senators, Mr.. Lane was from Lawrence
and so, also, is his successor, Mr.. Ross ;
while Mr.. POmeroy, now serving his
second term, is from Atchison.-Junc-
ton city Union.
We agree with the Record and the
Union that some other part of the State
should have chance hereafter. We
have plenty of men in all parts of the
State we will do better than any now
in Congress from Kansas. Let the
country try their hand once, and if they
can't do any better than Lawrence and
Atchison has, we'll agree to sell out to
somebody that can.

SENsIBLE.-All travellers will hail
with delight the following instructions
to employees on the Kansas Pacific
road, from the wide-awake and gentle
manly Superintendent, General Ander-
son. These instructions will raise the
road much i'm the estimation of the pub
lie. Travellers generally have to en-
COUNTER two superior classes of beings,
viz: the hotel clerk and the railroad
employee, and are always glad to see
anything which is calculated to bring
them down from their dignity. We
have often wondered at the large pro-
portion of snobs who happen to work
into those two positions:
"All baggage must be carefully ham
died. Throwing or pitching baggage
Into or out of cars, or upon the plat
forms, is strictly prohibited, and those
in fault will be held responsible for any
damage that may be caused by rough or
careless handling.
Promptness and dispatch in doing
business, and gentlemanly department
are strictly enjoined. BE civil to every
ono, and answer questions, no matter
how simple or foolish TREY may seem"

to the next Legislature that the laws be
SO amended as to require the United
States History and Constitution TO be
taught in cur public schools.
Thursday afternoon, Rev. N. D. Gage,
of Junction City, read, in his usual
STRAIGHTFORWARD and energetic manner,
an essay on Compulsory Attendance.
He argued that when pupil is once
enrolled, attendance should be made
compulsory by law.
Mr.. Taylor, of the Wyandotte Ga
zette, next spoke briefly and sensibiy on
the subject of Phonetics, urging more
attentive consideration of the matter by
educators and fric.ids of progress and
reform generally.
The following officers of the Associ-
alton were then elected for the ensuing
year: President, L. j. Bannister, of Pa
ola; Vice Presidents, all the County Su-
perintendents present at the time; Re-
cording Secretary, Miss Alice L. Nor
ton; Corresponding Secretary, T. G.
Dick, of OskalOosa; Treasurer, Miss
Lizzie Ella, of E;nporia; Executive
Committee, E. F. Heisler, of Wyan-
dotte; Miss Dickinson, of Atchison
Mrs. Janetle ii. Gorham, of the
State Normal School; p. j. Williams,
of Leavenworth; and p. FalSs, of
Franklin County.
4 report on TIL: KANSAS EDUCATION
AL JOURNAL was then read by Mr..
Palmer, Principal of the Wyandotte
City Schools, showing balance of
S25l from receipts, over and above the
cost of publication.
On motion, this was ordered to be
paid to Messrs. Kellogg Sc Norton as a
slight testimonial for their arduous La
bors in publishing and editing THE
JOURNAL, during the past year. After
some discussion, THE JOURNAL was put
i'll the hands of Messrs. Kellogg 81 Nor
ton for term of two years, they offer
ing to become personally responsible
for its publication if allowed to raise
the subscription price, after January,
1870, Except in the case of District
Clerks to one dollar and . half per an
mum.
n circular received from the Presi-
dent of the National Association OF
Teachers was now read, and it was vot-
ed that Kansas be represented by four
delegates, at the next meeting of the
National Association, in August, at
Trenton, n. j. The delegates chosen
were Rev. p. McVicar, Prof. p. j. VIII
liams, Superintendent of Leavenworth
Public Schools, Rev. G. G. Morse, of
Grasshopper Falls, and Miss Mary Jane
Watson. of the State Normal School.
A cordial invitation was then given
to the Association by Pres. Denison,
OF the Agricultural College, to visit the
College building and grounds, immedi-
ately after the afternoon session. II
was accepted, and all enjoyed the de.
| lightful ride to the College hill, two
miles away, and the fine view of the
town and surrounding country afforded
them after reaching its summit.
The grand social and reunion in the ev-
ening was made still pleasanter by the
plentiful supply of ice-cream and other
goodies, and enlivensd by soul-stirrine
music; and all went away feeling that
the members of the Association, in spite
of rain and muddy weather; in spite OF
Usage treaties and Indian troubles, had
enjoyed hugely the brief sojourn in
Manhattan and been Orofited therehp

The damage to crops by the late fresh
ct will not be near as serious as was at
first anticipated. With the exception
of Chapman's Greek and few cases on
the Smoky and Republican and perhaps
OH Lyons Greek it will hardly be felt.
Farmers report that in many instances
where whole fields of corn and wheat
were under water, they are now doing
as well, apparently, as if nothing had
happened. But we have too many
grumblers among us who seem to de-
light in embracing every opportunity
to find fault and whine; whose eyes
are eternally closed to anything but the
dark side of any event. We like the
spirit of friend on Chapman, who
when asked if he suffered much loss. of
property answered, he did not care a
fig for crops, SO long as he and his
family were preserved. He was salts
fed most of the crops would be good in
any event, and as for fencing, he de-
clafed he found more rails on his farm
when the water fell than would fence
dozen such farms. OF course somebody
is the loser, but dependency won't help
the matter a particle. So let us all
cheer up and console ourselves with the
fact that this seasons halVest will be
sufficient to overcome a dozen such
losses, and have plenty to spare besides.
