SENECA ELECTIoN.-We notice that our old
friend, CHARLES G. SCRAFFORD, has been elected
Mayor of Seneca. We also learn, from the pa
pers, that most bitter personal fight was made
against him, and that the vilest abuse and slam
ders were heaped upon him, through the columns
Of the Independent Press We have not seen the
Press for some time past; but when we did see
it. it was always filed with abuse of ScRAFFoRD
We understand the latter only came out for the
office Of Mayor, in order to let the citizens of Sen
eca decide, by their votes, between him and his
accnsers. The fight was bitter and personal, and
nothing was left undone by his enemies to in
jnre him. The result of the election was, 164
votes for SCRAFFORD, to 46 for his opponent and
the entire "SCRAFFoRD" ticket was elected.
Such result might have been expected. i'm a
town of which Mr.. SCRAFroRD was one of the
founders, and which he has done more than any
other man to build up. We rejoice over his sue
cess. Mr.. SCRAFFORD was for several years a
citizen Of this place. and We have known him
ever since We have been in Kansas. He was one
of the first men met after touching Kansas
soil, and We have known him intimately from
that day to this. We have had business transac-
tOns with him; have been i'm a tight place.
and at his mercy: and a more fair and reasona-
ble man we did business with. None of the
crimes and atrocities which We understand were
charged against him, as having been perpetrated
here, have yet come to the knowledge of any per-
son abont here, and We suspect they have had
their origin in a brain saturated with some sub
stance that has tendency to conjnre up bugga-
boOs. Wherever he has lived, he has never found
i: inconvenient to go back in the day time. We
imagine that it will take heavier calibre than the
outfit who run the Seneca Press, to .Isnow him

THE SALE OF ARMS.

The Nordceutsche Allgmeine zsitssS, Of Berlin,
the sen,i-oficial organ Of tho Imperial govern
ment Of Germany, says in regard to the kfencn
arms sale:
The last mail from the United States has
brought us an account Of The acrimonious debate
that has taken place in the American Senate at
Washington, ON the motion of Senator Sumner, a
distinguished member Of that body, demanding
an investigation Of the sale Of maskets and cart
ridges by the government Of the United States to
certain persons, who aftsrward turned out to be
agents Of the French government, during the
war between Germany aud France
Some of the last evening papers have comment
ell upon the account in manner that would
seem to call for explanation on the part of the
Imperial government. We believe We are well
informed when we say that our government takes
DO interest, or, at mOet, only negative one. in
the question which Mr.. Sumner has brought be-
fore the American Senate.
When the fact Of the sales during the war was
brought to the notice Of our department of For
eign Affairs, thorough investigation Of the sub
ject took place, and our government arrived at
the conclusion that it would not he justified in
complaining Of the course pursued by the author

fair. Irregularities, such as were alluded to dur
ing the recent debate. in the American Senate,
have undoubtedly occurred; but these were Ger
tainly not important enough to be regarded as vi
oatiOns of international courtesy, much less Of
fragrant breaches Of neutrality. No complaints
were addressed, in consequence, by our govern
ment to the Cabinet Of Washington at the time
when the transactions in question took place, and
none will Ike made now, especially as the govern

LEAvENwoRTH ELECuoN.-One of the most
gratifying events of the day. is the result of the
Leavenworth City election, last week. The en-
tire regular Republican ticket is elected for the
first time in some years. This shows growing
and solid Republican strength in the metropolis
of Kansas; but the circumstances attending the
election, make the result still more cheering. ID.
r. ANTHONY was the candidate for Mayor, who
has been defeated for the position heretofore, re-
peatedly. 1t is well known that he is not popu-
lar. He is SO positive in his nature, and pursues
his side of question uncOmpronlisingly, that
large numbers of his own party are hostile toward
him; while he is SO radical and outspoken in his
Republicanism, that lie is not calculated to win
votes from the opposite party. In opposition to
him, was a combination Of the Democrats and the
sors-hcads calling themselves Liberal Republicans
led by one MARCUS J. PARROT, Col HAAS, and
other prominent men. They ran a Republican as
their candidate and in addition to their other
help, they had the aid of Col. JENNIsON, a bitter
personal enemy of ANTHONY, but not a follower of
the Liberal movement, who controls large num-
Der of votes among certain class. Yet ANTHONY
is elected by about $50 majority, and some Of the
other candidates by much larger majority.
With this first solid knock-down in the fight. the
Republicans of Leavenworth are prepared to go
into the Presidential campaign in good condition.
