THE STATE TREASURES.

Our Democratic contemporary, the
Ledger, in its issue Of last Saturday,
contains, in its salutatory, the following
sentence:
awe think Il high time that an earnest pro-
test should be made by all democrats, when
two successive State treasurers have been
proved 70 have Wantonly violated the law in
fnIAtion 70 the keeping Of the State funds, and
then escaping with hardly vote Of een6ure
ment and removal from ONCE, and disqualif-
cation TO hold any other would have been their
just deserts."
The two treasurers spoken of are
Hon. J. e. Hayes, the present incum-
bent, and Hon. George Graham, his i'm
mediate predecessor. We suppose the
statement Of the Ledger is made with q
view OF manufacturing some political
capital against the Republican manage
ment Of State matters. It may convey
the impression that the gentlemen nam
ed have been guilty Of fleeing the
State, when the truth is, that the State
never lost q cent by either of them. In
the investigation of the case Of Mr..
Graham it was found that he had de-
ROSASO0 0OAA4O 0SoSO AuA06 WAN NO4 S<SAAA
banks in place Of leaving them exposed
in an old fashioned and unsafe vault
which had been provided by the State.
In the case of Mr.. Hayes it was found,
on investigation, that he had taken
from the county treasurers, in the jan
uary settlement, some $4,000 in OK
change, which he sent to different banks
to have turned into currency.
While this exchange was absent the
smelling committee" came along and q
great howl was raised. Both the cases
were worked up, to greater or less ex-
tent, by parties who expected to gain
some political advantage. The present
treasurer has upon his bond sixty-two
Of the most responsible men in the
State, and the amount of his bond is
100000. OF course the treasurer and
his bondsmen are somewhat interested
in the care of the State funds, and the
question as to whether they shall be
deposited in safe place instead of in
q rickety vault is one Of importance to
them. In the Investigation of both OF
these cases it was found that the State
had not suffered to the amount of far
thing. We merely make this statement
of the case to relieve any wrong i'm
pressions the Ledger might have con-
veyed on the minds of any who may
not be acquainted with the facts. Go
ask the neighbors and friends Of both
Mr.. Graham and Mr.. Noyes, (and they
are all old citizens and widely known
and the opinion will be almost unani-
nous that there are no more honest and
conscientious men within the bounda-
ries Of the State than George Graham
and Joseph E. Hayes.

Congress has never been successful in
compelling newspaper correspondents
to give testimony where they had no
mind to-" The Incarceration of the
correspondents to the Cincinnati Com
mcrcial and New York Herald, is not
the first instance of the kind in our his
tory. The discussion of the secret ses-
sion business in the newspapers has
been so thorough, and the press has
been so united in its denunciation of
such sessions, believing that the people
have some right to know what their
representatives are doing, that there is
some hope of having this old custom
abandoned. The proceedings of Con-
gross in the case of these cOrrespon-
dents has been so ridiculous. The law
of '57, making the refusal to give testi-
mony of private information criminal,
ought to be repeated.

WHITING HORSES DANGEReBs.-I
would caution those who train or use
horses, against exciting the ill-will Of
the animal. Many think they are doing
finely, and are proud OF their success In
horse training by means OF severe whip
ping, or otherwise rousing and stimula-
ting the passion, and then, from necessi-
ty, crushing the will through which the
resistance is prompted. No mistake
be greater than this, and there Is moth
ing that so fully exhibits the ability,
Judgment and skill Of the real horse
man, as the care and tact displayed in
winning, instead OF repelling the action
of the mind. Although il may be lec-
essary to use the whip sometimes, 1t
should always be applied judiciously,
end great care should be taken not to
rouse the passion or excite the will to
obstinacy.
The legitimate and proper use Of q
whip is calculated to operate upon the
sense OF fear almost entirely. The az
fections and better nature must be ep-
pealed to in training horse, as well as

does the heaviest business OF any in the

business ability and gentiemsnly quail
tiles, and we are glad to see him pros
per. j. s. Doolittle has been longer
in business, if we mistake not, than any
other merchant in town. AS he says
he keeps almost everything, besides
running hotel, and is making mon-
ey.

numbers of wagons, and are making

Mr.. Morgan, of the Leader has No.

patronage, which lie rapidly increasing.
He Is very highly esteemed by the COM
munity, and we wish him the abundant
success he so richly deserves. We once

never reaped any large amount Of
money or honor, but wish him better
luck.
We met our former friends and right

Attorney, W. g. Romigh, Surveyor and
Land Agent, s. N. Wood, Of military
fame in Texas, and ex-politician, Chas.

were sorry to learn, was absent holding

The business men Of Cottonwood
Falls ara working for . railroad from
Americas, and so On down the Walnut
Valley. Eldorado and Arkansas City
are united with them In this project.
They are also figuring for road from
Wamego, on the X. r., via Council
Grove. We predicted the building of
this road, four years age. EldoradO
and the Falls have recently put the
wagon road between the two places in
first rate order, building Q good bridge
over every place that could possibly
need it. This is worth ss much to Cot
tonwood Falls "a . second railway.
The people Of Chase county haye vot-
ed to build court house at the Falls.
$4,000 will be expended on 9 building
ct once, with the intention Of ultimate
~ completing one worth $4,000 or $780,
600. That amount Of money will build
for Chase county the finest court house
in the State, &c they have at the Falls
the very finest building stone close at
hand, and peculiarly easy ofaceess.
We spent Sabbath with our friend WI
G. Patton, of South Fork. It is good
for sore eyes to see his contented coun-
tenance. All "puffs" for such az he and
his are mockery; therefore, we refrain.
He has fine place, and is improving
rapidly.
We suppose Chase county to-day has
moro cattle than this county. We are
not surprised at this, for it is pre-emi-
nently . stock county. While it has a
large amount Of arabic land, it has
thousands Of acres too rocky and billy
to cultivate, but growing the richest
and sweetest grass known to stock
raisers.
Much more we might say for Chase
county and Cottonwood Falls, but
space forbids. A.

the Lawrence Journal, nearly the whole

said he was not in politics, and was not
going to get in, and had no speech to
make. If all men would as promptly
cut short the fulsome adulation of

attention to the fact that it is Profess

against any usage that displaces the
spirit by service, that puts the Priest in
iu place of the word of Christ. Let it
be distinctly understood that this church
will be free and independent, standing
on basis of the broadest sympathy
with all those churches in its vicinity
that hold TO a common faith, and then
while still clinging to our peculiar
forms, which have come down to us
from our fathers, we can yet extend the
