PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

b. Gratz Brown has formally ac-
eepted his nomination and hoped
on the platform on which he is to
stand till he falls.
Schurz, Cassius NJ. Clay and
Lyman Trumbull declined to at
tend the Greeley ratification in
New York on Monday last.
It is now reported that Schurz
will not go to Europe. He's mud
died. He don't know who to go
for, and don't know where he'll
go.
The Democratic press is in
ecstacies over Summers speech,
last Saturday. Hold still, Dem
mys, he'll pay his respects to you
as soon as he resumes the history
of the downfall of slavery.
The indirect claims of Horace
Greeley upon the Democratic par
ty will in all probability be reject
ed by the Baltimore board of ar
bitrators. They fear the "conse-
quential damages" would bust
'em.
Rev. James Kent, clergyman
of the Episcopal church, formerly
President of Kenyon College and
afterwards of Hobart College, was
admitted to the priesthood in the
Roman Catholic Church, last Sat
urday.
A Republican friend says if the
Liberal Republicans swallow the
Democrats it will result as in
Jonah's case: Jonah was heard of
afterwards, but the whale never
appeared on the surface or near
dry land again.
A difference of opinion exists
as to the status of Geo. H. Pen
dleton. The Liberals may as well
possess their souls in patience un-
til after the Baltimore Convention.
They will then find occasion to
change their policy, if not their
candidates.
That wilted blossom OF treason,
Henry S. Foote, aspires to seat
in Congress. General amnesty
has just relieved him of his polit-
ical disabilities, and with an assur-
ance that would make Satan blush,
he asks to be clothed with honor,
place and power, and given a high
seat in the temple of liberty.
The Irish Democratic Union OF
New York, recommends to the
Baltimore Convention the nomina-
ton OF Horace Greeley. The
Irish vote has potential influence
in the Democratic party, but the
party leaders heed not the Irish
brogue, as they are always sure of
getting the vote anyhow.

AN ELOPEMENT.
Council GROVE, June 8, 1872.

COUNCIL GROVE, June 3, 1872.
Last week for a sensation we had
a genuine case of elopement. A
young couple had fallen inextri-
cably in love, their intimacy was
becoming quite conspicuous. On
their return from a short clandes-
tine trip on the cars, the young
Miss was whipped and forbidden
to see her lover for six months.
But the malady was beyond al
surgical aid. The chivalrous young
man determined to rescue hel
from so cruel a fate. At ten
o'clock on the evening of the third
day after the above transaction
with light wardrobe nicely pack.
ed, she crept softly to the back
street and there met her lover with
a carriage and couple of friends
The sister of the young lady re
turned from an evening party
found her bed empty and gave the
alarm. The father, thinking they
would take the cars at the mex
station, took the midnight train tc
meet them there. The shrewG
couple had anticipated this event
and left a guard to watch the ole
gentleman. He followed him, tool
the train with him, and when they
were approaching Parkerville
waved his handkerchief out of the
car window, as signal of danger
The prudent pair conc luded, undel
the circumstances, not to take tn,
cars, but drove on across the coun
try to Almr, were married and re
turned home next day. ANON.

After the above report had been
accepted and adopted, Col. Plumb
of the Emporia committee, adj
dressed the meeting, setting forth
the sentiments and desires of our
people, and the advantages to ac-
crue to both cities from the build
ing of the road.
The report of the proceedings
continued:
Mr.. Phillips then read the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were al
so unanimously adopted:
Be it resolved, by the Board OF Trade OF
Kansas City, that we will use our utmost
| efforts to secure aid toward the building
1 of this road, to the amount Of $50 coo, anG
that we pledge 20 the people of Emporia
| and along the route, our united efforts to
| ward this road.
I2nd. Resolved, That committee b.
| appointed by this Board to confer wi ID
the managers of the l., l.. & G. r. R., Il
ascertain what can be done and the mos
| favorable conditions.
The same paper of the 4th inst
says, editorially;
The promptness, sagacity anG
enterprise with which the Board o
Trade is acting in the matter o
this road is most gratifying, af
fords the best of evidence that The
} city fully maintains its enterpris
ing spirit, and guarantees the ear
ly success of the road. 1t is o
great importance to Kansas Cit,
that this connection should b
made. No enterprise proposes
promises such large results for s.
small an investment. It takes bu
, sixty miles of railroad to give u
: first class connection with south
: western Kansas and the the trad
of that entire section. The en-
to be attained is too desirable t
admit of endangering delays, an,
!. the situation, as shown in our 10
f cal reports Sunday morning, DE-
!. mands the utmost promptness.
J, The Board of Trade is actin
q with decision and will receive tn
r universal and unqualified apprc
: val of the people and all the al
. : that can be given in forwardin
!. any plans it may propose.
e The people of Kansas City al
