James Legate of Kansas, who has been APP
pointed governor Of Washington territory, is 10
danger of having very short term of office.
The means used TO enligbien the presidentin re-
gard to his record it is said, may be cffectual.
The two senators from Kansas united TO secure
Legate's appointment, and they recommended
him so strongly that the president, who knew
nothing about him, put confidence in what
they said and did what they desired. Since
bribery, by which one of the sena-
tors was elected, has been published, and
attention has been recalledto the testimony rcla-
tive to the alleged attempt of Legate TO sell Sen
ator Pomeroy's vote in the impeachment case.
hegate has now been fully reported to all CON
cened; and both the senate and the president,
we are told, desire to have the appointment can
celed. They can do what they desire, in regard
to the matter; and, if half that is said is true,
some other man will be governor of Washing
ton territory. 1t is singular in view of what
came out concerning Legate, in the Andy john
son impeachment case that Senator Pomeroy
was so eager to give him disappointment. But
-A.'Ai9No hsisah' uftNS a hNttSt sNhdlOi lhtl WI
Pomeroy. She has some good men who are
more worthy to represent her.
Here is what is said of Legate in connection
with the impeachment trial. We copy from
the Syracuse Standards but the same statement
has been largely circulated in the newspapers
During the trial he obtained the appoint
ment of postmaster at LeayenwoIth on tn,
recommendation Of Mr. Pomeroy. While seek
ing this office he sent Cornelius Wendell to tht
post master general to exhibit letter purportinl
to be written TO him (Legate) by Pomeloy, il
which the senator offered, in substance, 10 OF
pose impeachment if he were give
the patronage he wan;cd. Senator Pomt
roy swore before the committee that til
letter was forgery, and his clerk, MI
Luce, swore that Legate had offered him 500
TO forge such a letter, be beng able to initial
the senator's handwriting so perfectly that n
person could recognize any difference, but tina
he refused. Legate was thus shown by his ow
confession to be a corruptonist and by NJ
Luce's evidence to be guilty of attempted sui
ornation of forgery, and by Senator Pomeroy
statement to be a lorger."
Can any one tell US what is meant by Senate
Pomeroy's recommendation of this man as
suitable person TO be governor of a territory
or what was meant when he said under oat
thar the letter referred to was forgery? Their
is mystery in these two conundrums which W
can not explain.

LIST. The Stockholders have built first-class road,
and eouippei it in rst-class manner mainly nth their
oTH money.
I'd. They have built their road through one of the
richest portions Of the state where all the old roads into
Chicago are earning $4,000 per mile per annumr
and are paying large and regular dividends
3d. They have built the. shortest road 10 the cele
brated Block Coal Mines, whose products have large
and increasing market in Chicago in the manufacture
ofiron, as well as for domestic uses.
4th. The road is done, well equipped, and earning
money, and argument is required, as in most new
enterprises show that the company is able to build it,
5h The portion the road opened for business last
year earned more than ftyP cent ADORE its interest
liabilities.
9Th. The amount of the mortgage is very moderate,
being only about Sls.5OO per mile
7th While Railroad Bonds may he plenty, those upon
finished lines, certain to pay and for small an
amount. are seldom in the market.
Sth That the amount remaiaing unsold is only

well be.

To those whose daily routine is more or less impera-
lively dictated TO them by circumstances it is matter
of extreme difficulty to those various conditions
under winch alone the full of nutrition can be
got out of food. And yet such persons form the over
whelming majority of mankind. What are people to
do? They either must put themselves in training to
borrow phrase from the fistic brotherhood, or else
finding this to be utterly impossible, they must endeavor
to find something which will act so far as a substitute
as to enable the system to appropriate the nourshment
which food alone is capable of a1ordng. Such subs-

The general railroad bill still hangs fire in the
house, but it will doubtless pass its final stage
to-day without further amendment. If so it
goes back to the senate in the same form in
which it was originally reported, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Frost's amendment, forbiddiug
TO cross existing railroads at grade, and one
other Of small importance. We cannot doubt
that the senate will pass it promptly, and so
complete one of the best pieces of work which
our legislature has done for many years. 1t is
probable of course that the bill is moi
perfect in all its details, but it is the re-
suit of careful study by practical men,
and is designed 10 secure an object whose value
few pretend to doubt. Its defects can be discov-
cred by its practical working, and can then be
corrected without endangering the general
principle. To dispute petinaciously over de-
tails which are in the main satisfactory is to
run the risk Of losing the whole. Tie lobby,
we hear, is mastering its forces, and will un-
doubiedly try to kin the bill by amending all
its efficiency out of it. Its friends ought to be
on their guard lest pride Of opinion or persisten-
cy in tribes should lead them to become the
auxiliaries Of the lobby.

A remarkable contribution to the curiosities
OF crime has been made in New jersey The
case is peculiar not only in the atrocity of the
deed attempted, but in the relations of the paI
ties and the singular appearance Of unconscious
ness of extreme baseness on the part OF the only
known criminal. The facts, as they lately ap-
peared before a court at New Brunswick, New
Jersey, are briefly these. Samuel Whitehead
one Of the richest men in the state, has sons and
two married daughters. He is old and some
what feeble, and has lived by himself, the
daughters and sons having their separate homes,
and all living comfortably and reputably, so far
as appears. In the summer of 1870, the room
in which the old man slept was fired, and be
barely escaped with his life. 1t appeared on
subsequent examination that the carpet of the
room had been saturated with kerosene oil. Mr..
Whitehead, when he awoke to find his room in
flames, saw James Baxter, his servant creeping
out Of the room con all fouis." Other attempts
upon his life by the same man followed, but
strange 10 say this man was not arrested,
nor does any particular notice of these criminal
acts seem TO have been taken. Early
in the following spring Baxter went voluntarily
before magistrate and made affidavit that Mr.
Whiehead's daughters had repeatedly urged
him to kill their father, Offering him large
sum OF money and comfortable support for life
if he would do SO; that be had twice made the
attempt, once by inducing him 10 drink heavily
and laen setting the room on fire, but that the old
man had escaped, and he was determined TO be
harassed no further. The details Of his CONVEX.
sations with the daughters on this dreadful sub
ject, the GOODNESS with which they discussed the
advantages Of different schemes Of murder and
explained minutey how the deed might be ac
complished, would be inexpressibly shocking
If they could be believed. After The failure Of
the attempt by fire, he says, they criticised his
proceedings, and gave him pistol with which
10 make another effort, but that failed, also
and then they urged him 10 entice the old man
70 climb mp on the barn scaffold, where he could
be knocked down with a club, and II would be
thought that he was killed by the fall. The
husbands Of the daughters, according 10 bis
story were also implicated in the plot. Baxter,
the daughters and their husbands were arrested
~ consequence Of these disclosures, and, after a
time, indicted. Mr.. Whitehead declared III he.
Lief 10 bis daughters innocence furnished them
with money for their defence, and himself be.
came their bail.
The case recently came up for trial; but, be
fore much progress had been made, the prose
cutting attorney, in consequence Of a ruling o
the court, which excluded what be thought hi
most important evidence, declined to press ih
charge further against the daughters, and the
were acquitted. Baxter is still to be tried, an

from a gentleman not resident of this

minions backdown of its political friends
who won't put up the cash. Pray Mr..
Argus, don't answer the proposition by
abusing Speaker Blaine who never bets on
elections at all
