On last Saturday morning William McLaugh-

Woodward, for opening and taking money
from letters mailed In this Office. William Is
about sixteen years old, and has been mall
carrier tor long time. On bis person were
found several letters recently sent 10 this
office, among others one in which twenty lone
dollars had been enclosed. The money (which
was marked) was also recovered. We under
s,and that the proof is incosI estable.
Our readers will remember that we have,
time and again, complained that money was
stolen from letters TO us and other citizens,
and that letters sent to and from this Office
were mysteriously lost. No notice was taken
Of our complaint, and in all probability hun
dreds of dollars have been stslen IN tne tame
manner as was this. The carrier, we learn,
was suffered 10 have access to the postofiice
room at all times. In fact, he had no other
chance to open letters. This will not do. We
need little showing aud protection, even
though we do live In the South. VIII the

The Democratic Conventions of Kansas and

past and buried difficulties, to join their hands

Mr.. N. P. O'Connor said that they bad met

of the motions prevailed any gentleman would
be selected as chairman who would not COM
mand the hearty appreciation of the conven-
ton, but he desired at that time to contend
for position which he might at some future
time be compelled TO contend for, namely,
that they should do nothing Indirectly that

Carolina were already jealous and dissatisfied
on account of the manner In which they had
formerly been represented, and he desired to
give them occasion for no similar feelings in
the future. He desired to begin right and In

this fact have transplsnted in early spring
