think the public suffciency is about full?
Then give US rest. The money that YOU
have already made us-newspapers Of the

this royal spooney, would pay for Alaska,
and thus give every poor man in the country

when ii comes from you, and goes into twelve

thousand dollars! How many thousands OF
lines have you devoted 10 this fellow? You
are ashamed to tell. Only 4 few days ago

she should wear when she came tc his ball,
and, for aught we know, dictated her never.

FROM ABILENE.
Jail Breaking - Revival - Murder
Cattle Business.
ABILENE. KAN. Feb. 20. 49,

ABILENE, KAN, Feb. 20, 1872.
We are inclined to think our town of abb
lene is making rapid advancement towards
morality. The Jail is now empty
and two reyivals are in full blast, viz:
Methodist and Universalist. The Jail was
vacated BY its inmates on Sunday night
four in number making good their escape
by removing a stone in The wall under one
of the windows, leaving nothing behind
them save the hole through which they made
their escape, small! piece Of pine board and
the Jail property.
We were summoned 10 witness 4 most
horrid sight on the 18th inst, thst of muir
dered man. 1t is believed The murder was
committed ON the Sabbath evening previous,
the door being locked and no one ia the Vi
cinity to look after the unfortunate man, who
was tailor BY trade The door was tried
by number of persons on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, but not until his COM
rade returned on Wednesday evening from
the country, who, after much difficulty,
gained an entrance 10 the shop, where, 10 his
horror, be found his partners body lying on
the floor wrapped in his he'd. The skull
was broken in with an axe. II is thought
that the party who committed the deed had
gone to bed with him. AZ yet no clue is had
to the perpetrators of this vicious act.
The prospect for Texas cattle trade seems
to be about as good for this place the coming
season rs il did ole year ago.
Yours, &c, I.

A COUNTY orrICEn AuR.sr.D

Out in Neosho County they consider a
fraud committed by man in Office no less a
crime than If committed by man out of
Office. Whether this would he good rule

perhaps be questionable would at least give
rise to legal question As 10 who should fll

as they would undoubtedly, in some of our
counties. Neosho has commenced with the
Chairman of the Board of Commissioners,
and the Usage Journal says Of the matter:
1t is doubtless by this time generally
known throughout the county that on Thurs
day last james NJ. Allen, the chairman of
the Board Of County Commissioners, was ar
rested In this city and brought before Judge
Motif on tcharee OF fraud done in and
about ordering the county seat election. Mr..
Allen waived an examination and was held
TO bail in the sum of 81 600 for his appear
ance at the District Court, which he gave,
Daniel Scannell Of this city becoming one of
his bondsmen. Whether the charges against
Mr.. Allen are well founded or not is a
question TO be determined when the case is
tried. From what We can gather from the
COMMITTEES of investigation, and from the sus-
picious proceedings of the Board in order
ing the county seat election, We are led 10
the conclusion tina: Mr.. Alien was guilty of
corruption in Office, which was undoubtedly
the result Of his too great eagerness 10 hur-
~ up matters in connection with the pro-
Jeci, beyond all possibility o. delay.

TROUBLE UPON TROUBLE.

The great Union Pacific Railroad il play
ing the role Of great failure, and playing it
to the life. II don't seem 10 be Of much
more use during the Winter than an upper
Missouri steamboat And according TO the
most authentic adTices from the West, the
prospect Of better day a-coming is rather
email, for now We are told that nothing but
the sunshine can ever open the road through
the snow, and further, tina; as soon as the
weather melts away the Snow, the water will
be on hand ready TO melt away the road.
Mere delay Is anticipated from damage,
caused by the water, when the weather gets
warm, than has been occasioned by the snow
through the winter Meanwhile cur anna
bic neighbors of Council Bluffs and Omaha
are tearing each others eyes out in fight for
the possession Of the terminus of the road,

then they can each have terminus of The
L. P.,-and a termination.

The following resolution was unanimously
adopted by the Republican Convention:
Resolu.d, That we hereby denounce any
man in public life who will dare to employ
any corrupt means in politics, and We, the
Republicans Of Kansas, will set our faces
steadfastly against all such, and will endeavor
10 make the future Of Kansas pure and good.
The Lawrence Journal SAYS I'D. r.
Anthony opposed the resolution in some
derisiye remarks''
We recoliect some years ago Of reading in
the Lawrence Tribune that during the school
boy days OF Dwight Thacher twas supposed
he had got religion, so they educated him
for the ministry, but after many years Of
labor in that field it WAS found that that was
not the trouble with him, 'that il was moth
ing bu, worms" We think Dwight must
be troubled with the "worms" now, for he
was the reporter Of the journal and knows
the above statement is untrue.

The rim Infantry Band.

The Topeka Commonwealth, speaking OF
this band, says:
The Band OF the 9TH Infantry, under
charge Of Adjutant Baird, arrived on the
nine O'Clock train last night, and were re-
ceived BY the committee. Omnibusses were
in waiting, but as it was decided TO
march to town, the band proceeded on foo.
up Kansas Avenue, escorted by young
army, eager to see, and hear the music.
Arriving at the Tefft House the band played
several tunes, and then went to Poppendick's
for supper. After supper a serenade was
given Miss Minnie Beals, a. friendly and
personal compliment by the Adjutant. The
band then went to the Firemen's Ball as in
vited guests, where, during the evening, they
played two or three pieces. The band con-
sists of twenty-five persons, is one Of the
finest in the west, and if We envy Leaven-
worth at ali, it is because of its proximity to
such good music, and such obliging and
courteous officers, as Gen. Miles, who ten
dered it, and the Adjutant, who has "laid
himself out" to please our people.
