City district.
Nebraska, which at the last cleo
ton for Governor, in 1870, gave
Republicans majority of about 1900,
now goes Republican by about 5000.
Much confusion among the Repub-
llcans of that State was caused by.
the impeachment of Coy. Butler, in
the winter of 1870, and the Repub-
licans were divided in consequence,
ana from this cause a larger proper
ton of them supported the opposi-
ton ticket than in any other State.
Yet see the result.
The mass Republican meeting in
Atchison, Wednesday, is described
as the largest aud most enthusiastic
gathering ever held in the State.

On the 9th Of October, three days be-
fore the adjournment OF the court. the Ger
dfeate, ainee published In the Ledger,
was placed in NY hands, with the iEfor-
na61on that copy was then in tbs hands
OF the printer fer publication. This de-
eided the course proper to be pursued-ia
fact 1t ieft me no alternative but TO cszn-
mence proceedings to disbar. Had I fzil-
ed to do 50 would have been greatly and
justly censured. It Is said that waited
until the last hour Of the term. This IL
true Mr.. Peyton was interested III some
cases then pending, and concluded to
take no steps in the matter until they
were disposed Of. No right minded per-
SON can fail to appreciate my motive in
this.
I am blamed fer not moving in the mat
ter sooner. The foregoing statements
show why action was deferred, and that
l did act &c sooa as the circumstances Of
the case would warrant. Again. am
eensnred for Postponing the hearing Of
the ease until after the election. It had
and bar, TO adjourn 70 the 9Th Of Eovem-
her, without any reference Co, or thought
Of this case. Had IL been set for hearing
before the olectloz there WOald have been
at least the appearances Of Political trick;
- IL Il there ie no cause II complaint.
Its farther alleged that Mr.. Psytnn Is
cut on frem making any defiance until af-
ter the election. This Il a. false and EriV-
oIous as the balance. II 1r. Eeyton Is
innoesnt, he knows, II he knows anything
about law, thst he has it In his power to
make fun and perfect defense In ten
mtnufes-he can purge himself OF the con.
tempt by bis own oath. This privilege IS
never denied in proceedings for contempt.
Let Mr.. Peyton produce the certificate On
which he was admitted, and 1le his sfi-
davtt that IL contains NO forgery, but is
| genuine; that he had, previous to the 2ad
day Of March, A. D. 1865, been duly ad-
mitted to practice a. an attorney "a the
Clay county circuit court, as said certid-
cafe puFports; let him do this I say, and
the charge 0fcontempt, {and all enbraAed
in ftl, now pendlag will be promptly dis.
missed. This has been the uniform
course OF procedure in my court, and al
cases Of contempt, and M. Peyton has n
reason to suppose his eass would be an
exception. 50 far ss the court Il concerned
Il In conclusion would say that &c Is {
matter Of indifference TO me, whe shal b,
my guccessor-so that he Is q man Of In
tegr1ty. and possesses 9 reasonable
amount Of legal learning.

BE JUsT.-The "Workingman's
Journal" at Columbus, Kansas, in
discussing the merits of w. r.
Laughlin, one of the Half-breed
candidates for Congress, says:
SIN this connection we desire to
call attention to few facts at Wash
ington. Mr.. Laughlin, with q fen
others, organized the opposition to
treaty sales of Indian lands, in the
spring of 1865. There has not been
a single trenty sale since. The re-
action against land grants began in
1865, and for two years past, its dead
carcass remains only as monument
of corruption against the Republic
can party"
Now then, we wish to ask the
editor of the journal TO be fair
enough to state to his readers who
it was that withdrew the batch of
Indian treaties from before the Sem
ate in the spring of 1868. Don't he
remember that it was President
Grant who did it. Could MIR.
Laughlin, an obscure citizen of
Kansas, have done it? And who is
entitled to tho credit for there not
being q ''single treaty sale since"
Certainly not Mr.. Laughlin, but the
Republican Congress. Mr.. Laugh
lin should have full credit for what
he did, but if the Journal charges a
"monument of corruption" to the
Republican party, it should certain
ly give it credit, on the other hand,
for putting a stop to the treaty bust
ness. Great a man as Mr.. Laughlin
may be, we apprehend he could not
have accomplished SO great work
without little assistance from the
President and the Re-
publican Congress. The Journal
ought to be fair enough to give
credit to whom it belongs.
