resolution for the appointment of special
committee to elaborate the work embraced
in its provisions, to entirely separate the
expenditures of the last session from those
of the present session, and at the same
time make ample provisions by the intro
.duction of deficiency bill to pay off the
real Indebtedness of the last session; and.
furthermore, it is the purpose OF the mover
of this resolution, while he is guarding
financially the treasury OF the State, to
avoid any measure looking toward the re-
pudiation of the honest Indebtedness OF
the State created by the last session OF the
Legislature. The reputation of the honest
debts of this body during the last session
would have tendency to shake the con
tidence of the financial circles of this com
monwealth in the integrity of the law
making power of the State, and would
certainly cause a still further decline IN
all State securities. Our object Is to build
up rather than tear down the credit of the
State.
Let us, therefore, carry out the great
measures of reform and retrenchment both
inside and outside of the State Capitol, but
let lis at the same time religiously keep all
our pledges and pay OFF all our honest
debts.
Mr.. Garstkamp, of Jefferson, offered the
following amendment:
Provided, that this resolution shall in
clude no warrants issued to members or
clerks for services rendered after the ad-
journment of the session of the General
Assembly, under resolutions published in
the journal of the last days proceedings Of
the House of Representatives of 1871.
Mr.. Stamps, of Jefferson, moved to lay
the whole subject matter on the table

DEATH OF MEs. W. ". WILLIAMS.
We are panied TO DO called upon to
record the death of Mrs. W. w. Will
liams, wcll-known TO the most of our
citizens. Up to within nine or ten
months ago Mrs. Williams appeared
the very picture of health, and was Of
ten seen on our streets and mingling
in our society-where she was widely
respected, and to which she was an or
nament. But even then it seems that
consumption - that desolator of so
many homes-was lurking in her sys-
tenn, ready upon the slightest exposure
10 assert its supremacy. Since the first
attack of what was then supposed to
be an ordinary ease of chills, the histo-
ry OF the malady of which she died has
been the common one, of gradual sink
ing, of alternate hope and fear, and
final abandonment of all hope as to
this life. The fore part of the past
summer was spent by Mrs. Williams in
seeking relief by travel in Minnesota
and the lake regions OF the north, but
rs fall drew ON and hope OF relief from
that source faded, she returned to heI
fathers residence in Bellevue, Ohio
where in suffering she gradually sanI
until the 9th inst, when she peacefully
departed this life, with an abiding con.
tidence, and perfect trust in the Ger
tainty OF a bli.sipl life to come, Til,
sympathics OF his many friends in thi
city are with Mr.. Williams in his dec
ailiiction. Besides her husband, Mrs
Williams left two young children, an
a large circle of relatives.

AMERICUS.

The ladies of the NJ. E. church have
a festival this week for the benefit of
the society.
A fine bell has been ordered for
the new United Presbyterian church
in this place. The furnace was put
in last week.
Mr.. w. Cunningham, of Washing
ton county, Illinois, has been looking
at Americas and the country about 1t
for few days, and has made up his
mind to locate here, as will also some
of his relatives. Mr.. c. has been a
teacher for many years, and worker
in religious matters, and we welcome
him to q citizenship among us.
Mrs. T. c. Hill has finally got back
from her eastern visit, and thus a va
can't place in the social circle is filled
again. Her desc ript ions of sick peo-
pie and muddy streets and calamities
in the great cities help to make us
contented with our lot here, though
most everybody already knew that
Kansas was the best country in the
world to live in.
If you want to know what is
worse than being defeated for office
ask those who had to walk up after
wards and pay over the money they
lost because their man was not elected.
Another family from New York,
Mr.. Kenyon's, settled in Americas
last week. No one eau find fault with
the way this place has settled up dur
ing the past three months, for during
that time at least fifty inhabitants
have been added to the town.
-Messrs. Archer Sc Balm received q
lot of iron and other material this
week for manufacturing riding or bug
gy plows in this place. They already
have orders for considerable number,
and propose to put up as many as they
can sell in this market.
Ogden Barrett is building black
smith shop, south of the Goddard
house.
All who are in favor of good sing
ing class are requested to be at the
brick church next Monday evening.
The idea seems to have seized
everybody at once that the surplus
corn in the country should be fed to
cattle and hogs, and a number have
commenced buying up steers and
shoats for that purpose. Nothing bad
about that.

COsTs---AN EXPLANATION.

EDITOR NEWS: The community is
much less interested in theresult of an
election than the aspirant for office;
still all feel, more or less, that officers
who are elected should discharge their
duties faithfully and efficiently, and
you will allow me to say that but for
the gross misrepresentation as to my
official course as County Attorney,
circulated on the election day, 1 should
not have said anything. III
am informed that at every election
precinct in the county, it was current
ly reported that by my failures in
prosecutions the county had lost large
sums, and it was reported here, and
probably elsewhere, that had run the
county in debt three thousand dollars
in whisky cases, ali of Which are false,
and so known to he by those Who
started the reports.
So far Us the prosecutions in the
District Court for the illegal sale of
Intoxicating liquors are concerned, not
single case was lost. Judge Watson
so stated alta temperance needing ut
the Baptist church, and those knowing
our relations will not imagine he
would Lnisstatey afaet for my benefit.
1t is true, several cases of that kind
have been stricken from trial docket
on account OF ruling made by the
pro tenn. Judge, which ruling WIS in
opposition to what l contended was
Law, aud which is now admitted to be
erroneous. The cases can yet be tried
If the defendants can be found.
During my term of Office but fivC
felony cases were decided in the Dis.
, i trict Court adverse to Che State, ant
had all the defendants been convicted
; then the county would have had tn,
/ cost to pay in at least three of them
, as such cost, by Law, has to be paid b,
2 the county when conviction is had, i
4 it cannot be made out of the defend
!. ants property. The law allowing 1. e
!. PENDANTS to testify in their own behal
: was passed soon after the duties OF til
t Office devolved upon me, and with th
r testimony OF the defendant and onl
2 reasonable doubt being required,
), is more difficult to convict now tina
y heretofore.

had challenged all in public speeches
TO assert anything wrong, if they
could, in regard to the way had at
tended to the business of the county.
This they did not even attempt to do
publicly.
So far IS prosecutions are concerned

most instances. they are started with
Out the knowledge or consent of the
County Attorney, as the statutes pro-
vide that Justice of the Peace shall
draw the complaint (afldAvit) when
called on, upon which a warrant Is is
sued.
Previous to my election, the county
had paid all Gusts when not otherwise
collected, even in misdemeanor cases,
those less than Ielony. gave our
commissioners an opinion that the
County in such cases was not liable,
and though approved By many of the
members of our bar, the COmmIssio n
ers sustained my view of the law in
three trials before them, thereby cut
ting off a very heavy expense that
had always been paid. In doing this
l did not fail TO array against me Ger
tain high officials who still desired to
draw large sums from the treasury.
But cared but little for their i'll will
when my duty to the county was st
stake. had rather a man would vote
against me for doing my duty than for
me for failing to do it.
AS to the management OF county
finances, I respectfully refer tax-pay-
ers to their tax receipts for general
purposes for the years 1sy0-1-2. You
will find that your taxes for general
purposes, in which are included costs,
&C., for this year and last combined,
are only fifteen cents on the hundred
dollars more for both years than they
were for 1870, the year before 1 came
into Office. This, it seems to me, goes
far to show how the business has been
done, and 10 refute so unjust charge.
Other charges were made that were
groundless and fall with IL csc.
am sorry to take up so much space
on this subject, but as your county
readers have n right to know how
their affairs have been conducted,
thought Il proper to make this state
ment. c. b. BACHELLER.

We forgot to mention, last week, the
meeting at the Methodist church ON
Sunday evening, the Sd, to hear Miss
Beach, the MatrOn of the Leayenworth
Home for the Friendless, relate the
history OF that noble institution. The
church was packed with people. On
the pulpit We noticed Rev. Messrs.
Kelly, Melvin, Coke and Copeland.
Miss Beach'S remarks were very inter-
esting, and if the lady would omit
an unnecessarily plaintive wall in. her
voice, she would make very pleasing
speaker. At the close of her remarks,
a cash collection, headed by Harvey
Bancroft with $40, was taken up, to
the amount of 500. Miss Beach

ARREST OF SUPPOSED HORSE
THIEVES.

On Tuesday last Sheriff Bay stock
in couple of gentlemen OH suspic-
ion that they were not exactly sound
on the horse question.
On Monday Il couple of gentlemen
arrived here on hors eback and put up
their "cFitters" at Davis livery stable.
They then proceeded to the Madison
house where they registered their
names as Henry and George Ander-
son, from Fayette county, Missou-
ri. They claimed to be looking
ut the county, and said they were
obliged to sell their horses to get home.
Davis suspicious were aroused, and so
he notified Sheriff Bay. Tuesday
they came to the Sheriff and wanted
to sell ut auction. An arrangement
was made with Hank Lowe to bid
them in, which he did ut $40. They
seemed to be overly anxious to sell at
any price, and said let them 90 at that
figure. Sheriff Bay became satisfied
from this fact, and other suspicious
circumstances that there was some
thing wrong, and arrested them. On
being searched, $l3.75 was found on
their persons. They then gave their
names as Richard Little and VIM. B.
Blair, of Independence, Missouri.
They said the reason they registered
in fictitious names was that they had a
difficulty in Missouri with some men
who were following them. Theywere
examined separately and told several
conflicting stories, as to how they
came by the horses, etc. One of the
horses is a large, rough, raw-boned
iron gray, nearly II hands high, and
four years old, with some harness
marks and no brand. The other is 8
bay, nearly as large, stout and heavy
set, and is eight years old, with a
small white spot on left flank. They
are farm horses, with farm saddles
The men are still in Jail here.
