Mr.. DOMAIN AT WINTHRoP.-If any
doubts have been entertained regarding
the integrity or enthusiasm of the Rcpub-
lcans in the east part of our county, Mr..
Domains meeting at Winthrop, last Sat
urday evening, has surely dissipated
them 1t was more than success. The
spacious Baptist Church was filled with
an audience enthusiastic and appreciative
enough to have satisfied any speaker,
and it put Mr.. Donnan in his very best
vein. On this occasion he delivered one
of those compact, argumentative, strong
yet courteous speeches which has dis
tinguished his present canvass of the
district. He covered the whole ground
of political controversy, dealing in fact,
figures and argument rather than invec-
tive. He showed up in trcnchant style,
the hollowncss and insinccrity of the
Liberal movement, and the fragrant in
constituencies Of it's representative, Horace
Greeley. He set forth clearly his own
position on the tarif-which is that safe
and sensible one between the extrem es
of free trade and prOhibition-and other
matters in which his hearers are interes-
ted, and triumphantly vindicated his &C
ton in Congress regarding the ship canal
project His remarks were interrupted
by frequent and hearty applause. The
effect was to strengthen the already
strong confidence Of the people in the
ability and faithfulncss of our Rcpresen-
tative and to deepen the conviction in
their breasts that every consideration Of
prudence and regard for the public good
demands his reelection by more dcci'
sive majority than before Every indi
cation points to this result.

NORTHERN kU-kLUX.

At Rochester New York IN outrage
was recently committed by a negro,
named Howard, upon the person of a
child ten years of aye. After
Howard had been committed to Jail,
an Infatuated mob of several hun
bred persons collected around the Jail
and threatened to take the villain out
and execute him. The services ofthc
police and five companies of military
we're called in requisition to guard
the Jail. But the mob instead of dis
pursuing, persisted in threats and vio-
lence, hooting at the soldiers, throwing
stones. until the military fired, killing
two or three men, and wounding
others. Here is q new field of ope-
rations for the Ku-klux investigating
However that as commit
tee is at present wholly absorbed
with matters in South Carolina, we
predict the great State of New York
will not secure q due share Of its at
tention. The Rochester riot will
produce no sensation at Washington.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR AT TOPEKA.

The Topeka Commonwealth of
yesterday morning gives the following
account of n crime of the most revolt
ing character, aud shocks, at once,
the scnsibilitics ofevery man, woman
and child. The facts, as far as the
present condition ofthe East will adj
init, are as follows: The parties are
II. p. German and Ida German, the
daughter ofthe former, who has Deen
a student at the seminary at Topeka.
1t appears that German sent his wife
East last summer. While she was
absent, under the threat of killing his
daughter Ida, he, r. P. German, had
illicit intercourse with her. After
this intercourse, her father threatened
to kill her if she told any one or her
mother. Subsequently, Ida became
pregnant, and on the return of her
mother, the fact became evident.
Mrs. German spoke to her husband
about the condition of Ida, but he said
nothing. He, the father, then went
to Ida and told her if she did not
swear that her uncle did it, he, Or. p.
Germany would kill her.
During the absence of her mother,
Ida would frequently invite her
associates to come and stay with her,
to protect her from her fathers de-
mandS.
After numerous threats to kill her,
she became frightened and told her
mother and aunt of her fathers
threats and what had happened be-
tween them. Upon her affidavit her
father was arrested and held to bail
in the sum of $40 200.
We would add that Il. II. German
came to Kansas in the spring of 1849,
and has lived near Topeka ever since.
lie has been regarded as a substantial
citizen up to the present time, having
been an active and energetic business
man. He is reported worth from $4O,-
600 to $4,000. Ills daughter, Ida, is
a young lady about eighteen years of
age and rather attractive in appear
ance. She has been a student in the
seminary for some time, and was one
Of the brightest in her class. She has
been admitted into the highest and
best circles of society, and in this ter
rible denoument to a5youthful and
promising life she has the sympathics
of a large number of personal and in
innate fricnds.-K. c. Times.

other leading officials are understood
to be against resumption of specie
payments at the present time. They
think it better to wait until a greater

MISSOURI LEGISLATURE
We are indebted tothe Kansas City
Times for the following special:

We are indebted tothe Kansas City
Times for the following special:
JEFFERSON CRY, Jan. 5, 1872.
Thomas, of Jefferson, offered a
resolution looking to an immediate
apportionment of the State. 1t re-
quires q full statement of the official
census in the State, in the Congress
ional Districts, in the Senatorial Dis
tricts, in the Judicial Districts, aud
in the counties.
Mr.. Hubbard, of Grundy, offered q
resolution creating a committee of
seven to examine into the Offices all
over the State, ana to learn what
salaries are paid, and to reduce them
to a fair standard. This goes at once
to the bottom of the Sheriffalty in
Jackson county.
Mr.. Thomas said that in the aggre-
gate the salaries were too large.
There were Sheriffs in the State who
made from 5000 to 1856, 900 per year;
while the Governor only received
$1,000. and the Judges of the Supreme
Court received each only $4,000. The
whole system should be modified.
This resolution was endorsed and
supported by Messrs. Host. Marshall.
Lecpcr, Mullings, Brown of Howard,
Samuel, Bell, Pope, Panley and Col
cord. 1t was amended SO as to increase
the Committee to nine-onc from each
Congressional district and then
passed Immediately.
Mr.. Knott offered a concurrent
resolution abolisling the registration
Of voters throughout the State. Re-
ferrcd to the Committee OH COnsti-
tutional Amendments.
Great developments arc expected to
be made in the Office Of Register of
Lands, as conducted under previous
Radical administrations. Gen. SlO-
mon, the present Register, has asked
for an Investigation committee, which
is provided for under a concurrent
resolution offered by Mr.. Wielandy,
of Cole. Records have been mutila-
ted, whole pages have been cut out,
forged patents have been issued, and
a most corrupt and shameful pro-
ceeding had throughout all of the
transactions. One by one, the enor-
mites of Radical rule in Missouri are
being tcrreted out and exposed.
The Revenue Law is again under
discussion. 1t is one of $50 pages.
and the work upon 1t has reached the
fourth. Some idea, therefore, can be
formed of the labor yet to be be-
slowed upon it.
The Senate has passed the bill
known as the stay law, which abolish
cs the ten per cent. additional interest
and the fifteen per cent. penalty until
after the first of March. 1t now
awaits the signature of the Governor
to become a law, which will be given
this evening.
