POLITICS IN OHIO.

The contest which has just opened In
Ohio, between the two political parties
of the country, will attract more atten-
ton. perhaps, than that in any other
State which will hold a general election
this year. Ohio is to fight the first and
most important battle for the great Ma
tional political struggle of next year.
As she was in 1867, so she is now, the
advance field of the Presidential con-
test. In 1867, the Republicans won
good victory with negro suffrage to
carry, which was decidedly unpopular
even with thousands of Republicans.
The contest that year in Ohio decided
not only the issues of the last Presiden-
tial campaign, to q great extent, but also
decided to an equal extent that Grant
was to be the candidate. Ohio is to
play an equally important part this
year, and we hope the Republicans of
that State will be equal to the expecta-
tons of the friends of popular govern
ment throughout the country. With
out the weight of any such issues as that
of negro suffrage, they certainly ought
to be able to lay their Democratic COM
petitors "high and dry" upon the shelf.
The two parties are now in the field
with their tickets. At the head of the
Republican ticket is General Noyes, of
Cincinnati. To us he is new man,
but the fact OF his having been nomi-
mated by reclamation speaks volumes
for his popularity with his party. The
convention, throughOut was character
lied by great harmony. Our readers
have already seen the platform. 1t is
as broad, comprehensive and satistac-
tory as could be wished. Both parties
are enthusiastic, but it does not seem
possible for the Ohio Republicans to be
defeated if they do their whole duty.
On them depends much of the success
of the party in 1872. The eyes of the
country are upon them, and the result
in October will be awaited with an1-
iety.

ITEMS FROM LEAvENwORTH.

Leavenworth has been hot and dusty.
1t is now warm and muddy We had
a heavy raiu yesterday, 23d I'd it is
raining to-day, to the discor 'rt of Pc
destrians. The street Spr or s SUI
perceded.
We have q fire occasionSIiy which
tends to break the dull mOnotonoy-
one yesterday morning, and another
last night. The old frames hOnored in
their day are thus being removed.
The railroad question like the wealth.
er, has reached the fever heat. There
are good many meetings, and we have
much talk on the subject. Every man
has his own theory and knows it to be
the best It is time that the metropolis
should unite upon some plan to extend
its railroads into to the interior of the
State. We want harmony and work.
The Central" of which we hear so
much talk, is greatly needed; but that
does not do away with the necessity of
a road to Topeka, connecting there with
the A. T. & S. f. By this route Leav-
enworth would secure the trade of
Southwestern Kansas, much of which
now goes to Kansas City. Leavenworth
capital lists must go into their pock-
cts and build these roads or move.
The petty thieves are trying 70 make
money out of the cheated term" They
slip in at the open doors and windows
of sleeping rooms and steal watches
and whatever loose change thew can get
their hands on. Some of them will be
caught mapping yet.
Laing's Hall, the largest in the city,
was packed full last night to witness
the closing exercises of the first Annu-
al Commencement of the Leavenworth
Normal School. A class of thirteen
were rewarded with graduating honors.

Der of subjects and 80 far as we are
capable of judging, they did credit to

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

What we count the great events of
life, the things we prepare for and
think of the greatest Importance, when
they have passed by often leave but a
faint impress. Their influence over us
is slight. But it is the little things of
our life that are great in their results.
Let us learn, then, properly to value
and rightly to improve them. God es-
Inmates them not as we do.
To educate the mind, a picturesque
set of chinaware is as necessary as a
schoolmaster. Mankind is all the bet
ter for the pattern of its dinner-Dlates.
When men ate from wooden benches,
they lived without poetry; in other
words, when they lived like hogs, they
acted like hogs. Who ever knew a
man to be caught in street row with a
clean shirt upon him s-W0J.
Icompare the troubles which we have
to undergo in the course of year to a
bundle of faggots far too large for us
to lift. But God does not require US to
carry the whole at once. He merciful-
~ unties the bundle, and gives US first
one stick. This we might easily man
age, if we could only take the burden
appointed for. us each day; but we
choose to increase our troubles by car
rying yesterdays sticks over again to-
day, and adding to-morrow's burden
to our load before we are required to
bear it.-Johaa NeaCton.

the penetrative character of temptations

supposing, by any outward arrange
ments, clOistered retirements, flights in
to the wilderness, that sin can be kept at
distance. So far from this, temptation
will inevitably over leap all these out

Gen. Grant is taking steps to reform
the civil service. Already has he set the
ball rolling. By an act passed during
the night of the Sd of March, the Pres
ident was given certain general powers
to effect change in the mode of ap-
pointment to the civil service. Under
that act the President has appointed q
commission to meet and draw up some
plan by which this reform can best be
effected. AS Chairman of this Com
mittee he has appointed Geo. w. Cur
tbs, the editor of Harper's Weekly and
Monthly, one of tho strongest advocates
that civil service reform has in this
country. Associated with him are six
other gentlemen of ability and expert
ence. We doubt not but that by the
meeting of Congress the President will
have some feasible plan matured &c
recommend to that body for its adop.
ton. and we have no doubt of its being
adopted.

LEAVENwORTH AND RA1LRODs.

One is daZzle6 In reading the Leaven-
worth papers, to see the great number
of railroads that are to be built to that
city. According to some of these pa
pers, all that the people have to do is to
say that they are going to have such
and such railroad facilities, and the
thing is done. If one is to believe the
statements made, Leavenworth will, in
a few months, be a great railroad GEN.
ter. Newspaper agitation is a good
thing, and is necessary to be done when
a railroad is to be built, but something
more substantial must follow. We like
Leavenworth,a and desire her prosperity.
We do not believe, however, she will
build many railroads by her present
mode of procedure. A month or so
ago it was announced thst company of
capitalists would undertake to build 8
narrow gua9e railroad to Denver, I'M
der certain conditions. The newspa-
pers opened on the proposition, with
big head lines and columns of hifalutin
editorials. All right so far. From our
standpoint we think the construction of
that road would be the best enterprise
Leavenworth could engage in. But
instead of going to work to put the en-
terprise on footing, If the papers are q
proper index of the sentiment in that
city, it is practically dropped, and equal
ly as much fuss is now being made
abo ut half dozen other roads, which 1t
seems to us is done to divide the pub
lie sentiment on railroad propositions
for personal ends and thus 1t has been
with that city. The people-or we sus-
pect the leaders-have failed to do any
thing. The county has voted bonds I'M
til she is badly indebted, and yet she
has little to show in return. Instead of
uniting on a good thing when it offered
itself to them. they have gotten up dis
sensions and divisions, and the result
has been, so far, that Leavenworth has
lost what she ought to have received in
the way of railroads. We do not know
how it is now, but there has been too
much wrangling and jealousy among
her leading men. This has in manner
disguised the friends of our metropolis
all over the country, who really desire
her prosperity. It looks as though the
same old quarrel is brewing now. from
the fact of so many propositions being
on foot. We sincerely hope we are mis-
taken, and that L.eavenworth is going
to unite and accomplish something for
her suffering railroad interests.

MORE OF THE HORRORS OF PARIS
CAPTURE.

A New York dispatch says addition
al details of the scenes after the cap
ture of Paris are full of horrors, and
gives the following extract from a let
ter:
"The little garden of the Tour st.
Jaques, on the Boulevard Sebastopol,
was a mass of dead bodies, awaiting
burial. The omnibus and battinnaile
were employed in removeing them.
The barbados in the vicinity were
also in dreadful state from the dead
bodies, half covered, lying therein.
This little green square, SO filed with
trees, flowers and shrubs q few days
since, is turned into a burial ground.
Over a thousand are already buried
there. Large trenches are dug and
twenty bodies thrown in each trench !;
also quick lime in large quantities.
| Women and children are thrown in
these trenches. No mercy has, so far,
| been shown to women. Wherever
| they have been caught, they have been
| treated with all the cruelty imaginable,
especially during the first three days.
Fourteen sewing girls. employed in the
dress-making establirhment of Madame
Roger, were suffocated in the cellar,
where they sought refuge from shot
| and shell and when the house was set
on fire they persisted. The bodies
were found three days after. On the
Rue Royal near the Faubourg st. Hon
ore, was house where women are
! are cared for during childbirth. The
insurgents set it on fire, and twenty
one of these poor creatures persisted in
| the flames. Some one was shot or
killed in every house in the vicinity of
the Rue Royale. over 10000 insur-
gents have been killed, wounded, or
taken prisoners during the seven days
struggle, and probably more than 1OO,-
600 will be prisoners in the end. On
both sides estimate the losses as fol-
lows: Killed, $4,000; wounded, 10000 /;
loss by burning of property in Paris,
l,OOO,OOO,OOO francs; loss of property
outside, 100000, 600 francs loss of rents,
injury TO business and depreciation of
credit, 300,O00,OO0 francs. France has
never seen such a week as the last one
here. There has been every form of
| torture, every eXageration of cruelty.
Age, sex, sickness, or natural deformity
has kept none from the ruthless brutal
ity of mad populace and the cool saw
agery of undisciplined soldiers. The
| prisoners are taken down in patches to
certain specified execution places, where
| firing parties are stationed, and deep
lEOuCucS uusS Oc1OTSudlu. OuO Oh the
places is the Ecole Militaire, another
the Caserne Napoleon. Immediately
behind the Hotel de Vile, at the Caser-
ne Napoleon, since last night, 500 per-
sons have been shot, and the courtyard
is full of blood and dead bodies. To
induce the prisoners to march without
resistance they are told they are goin' TO
Versailles for trial, and it is only when
| they arrive at the place of exedution
that the blood and bodies before them
make known to them their last hour has
arrived. There are invariably women
and cry, and beg for mercy, but are
pushed forward and shot down. tits
said that 10000 persons have thus been
executed. / trust that this is a gross
exageration.
