CANDIDATE n DEPUTY.

Ii is q peculiar fact in the present contest
i'm this State that the honest Republicans are
fighting federal patronage, and nothing else.
Take Grants appointments away, and there
is nothing left Of Pomeroy and Clarke.
They have no friends, no character, and
history only interesting from Police Gazette
point of view. Clarke still claims to he n
candidate and to have some Strength"
because Grant will listen to him when he
would not to the most honorable Republican,
out of Office. The President has to lie guided
by the Kansas men whom he finds on the
ground, and if the State sends shystes, the
State must suffer. 1t is not a very pleasant
reflection To know that We are opposed by
our own Administration, and that our own
money and votes are turned against Us,
and one is forced to go to the
bottom Of the evil, and TO protest
against wrvng which hegan with the Dem
ocrat, Andrew Jackson, and which has not
been serlsibly improved under Republican
administrations. Mr.. Lincoln carried il out
10 its fullest extent. President Grant has
disregarsed the party rules i'm many cases,
but hardly at all in Kansas. Looked at as
national evil-and ii is a very serious one
it can only be remetiiel by the principles Of
Mr.. Jencke~'s Civil Service Bill But for us
here and now, the only remedy is in chang
ing the persons who dictate the patronage.
Fortunately Clarke is 80 weak and contempt-
lille that his own aNointecs are sllaky. They
know how cdious he is to the people and are
prepared to desert him. But it is we'll to re-
member when Clarke talks about his
50 strength, that he has none; that he knows
it, and that he is fighting by deputy.

New YORK Spectators in breatlstufis arc
turning their attention to the great battle
which is to come off on the Rhine, and the
probable effect which the result may have
upon the market for breadstuffi. Prominent
men among them take the ground that should
the French prove victorious, all Europe will
be alarmed; that England and Russia will
interfere TO save Prussia from humiliation,
and that thus general war may be inangu-
rated. They will consequently buy heavily
ON the first intimatiOn Of French victory.
They believe further, that a serious repulse to
Napoleon would either drive him from his
throne or compel him TO obey the admosli-
tions of the other great powers and make
peace, in which case a serious decline in
brez,dstufis will be anticipated, and the news
Of Prt,ssian victory wouh be disastrous to
holders. There are those who take differ
cnt view of the case; but, as they did not
believe the war would eraie, they do not
carry much weight. - = 10 sr

\ correspondent Of the Orleans AmeriMn,
published at Albion, writes that paper from,
Mountain View, Virginia, that the corn in
that region is, $50 to speak, out of sight, be-
ing tas.eled and silked, and some measures

not unusual in Kansas to see ears of corn that

The basis OF representation on which all OF
our State Conventions have been called is a
relic Of the sparcelv settled and Indian-trail
days of the Territorial past. There has
been very little change in the eleven years
since the Republican party was formed in
the Territory, and our present calls even lay
cser into the Free State, Big Springs and
Grasshopper Falls conventions Of the prime
val past, before Lecompton Constitutions and
English bills From 50 dim and remote an
antiquity, when Pierce was President and
Douglas was political power. We continue
to draw our calls for State Conventions, shut
ting our ewes to all progress, to ali growth,
and development and the qnadrupling Of
our population.
Rookie county, which, counting men, wo-
men (if there are any, children, herlers
and capitalists, numbers in all forty-five per
ss,ns, has one delegate i'm the State COnven-
ton. The Fourth Ward in Leavenworth
has nearly seven Thousand people, and it has
also one delegate in the State Convention,
The injustice is nearly as glaring when the
comparison rs made with Lawrence, Topeka,
Atchison, Fort Scott, Emporia, Wyandotte,
Junction City, Manhattan, Paola and many
other large towns. 1t is an injustice not
thought Of or tolerated in any other State IN,
the Union by either political party, and an
injustice against which the people have pro-
tested over and over again, and in the most
emphatic manner.
The Republicans Of Missouri have Just
called 4 State Convention, and they allow
one delegate to every one hundred and fifty
votes, and one delegate ''for colcr-l men,
however few, in every county" The col
ored men will have ninety men in that Con-
vention, or more than the whole number of
delegates usually seen in a Kansas Conven-
ton. 1ttk-H
Our Republican State Committees have
become fogies and towards, and they entirely
fail to represent the people.
Their object seems to be to have in the
Convention only the Postmasters from the
county-seat towns, with an occasional excep-
ton in favor of cenass-takers and deputy az
seasons and collectors. State Conventions, on
their theory, must be small, easy to be
bought and easy to be handled.
Justice demands fair and full representa-
ton Of the people in the State Convention
they are the source of power and they can
lie trusted. We want no more postmaster
conventions.
Several members of the State Committee
are candidates for Office, and We think they
will gladly listen to the popular will. There
is TO be general breaking up Of rings,
cliques and factions this year, and the pco-
pie propose to be on the ground and do the
work. The population Of every county UNI
der the nev census can now be learned. The
vote in 1868 is also we'll known, and is a
good standard to 60 by. But We will have
no Big Springs Convention-no more appor-
tionDents extending hack to the period Of
the Plesioaurls and megatherium.

1t was taking advantage Of The national aAec-

it was we'll known that the mere sight Of the

whole army to bunst into tean, and vet he is

when the soldiers need all their nerve.
However much the old man NAV have desir-
ell to disprove the assertion that the blood Of
the family would pan ont poor in the rising
generation, he will he denounced in all civ
ilized nations Cor provoking tears in public.
Tears are understood to be a private thing,
and he who wanionly draws them in pub
lie place, where the affected l,erson has no
opportunity Of concealment. places himself
beyond the pale Of human sympathy, and
can never be countenancel. Napoleon did
this in bringing his hoy ont in front of that
army. lie knew they would have to cry.
For what intelligent and kind hearted person
could refrain from shedding tears at sight Of
him?
But common decency would demand that
he be not thrust upon their sight where they
could not avoid exposing their brine to the
enemy.
The dispatches also inform us that the
Empress was 20 affected by the news that the
boy didn't run away from the bullets that she
ran the risk of soiling her dress by dropping
ON her knees in front Of her mos: costly inn
ages, and telling them what bully boy she
had.
All this is very important, and We hope to
hear more soon. We feel interested in boy
who has such hold upon the affections Of
his father, soltlicrs. and hong the old man
will not neglect to send us a despatch at
every national sob.
The boy who never told lie becomes
mere fraud when compared to little Louis.

Napoleon Bonaparte that without it his

for visit to the Blue Rapids. On
Friday morning Mr.. Musey improvised
a turnout span Of hor.es and lumber wag-

had. We soon filled the wagon and started
on reconnaissance. We crossed the Blue
River northward, about one mile from town,
q cUss the bottoms silt to the north until We
ascend the bluff, which are quite high at
this point. Here At distance Of about three
mikes from town, We have q nx& beautiful
