Gov. 0sBORN.-The election of Representatives
in Leavenworth will turn upon the question Of
United States Senator, for and agsinst Gov. Os-
born. 1t is charged, (and no doubt correctly,)
that one of the objects sought to be accomplished
by his election, is to his father-in-aw, Judge
Delahay, who will be tried at the next session of
the Senate, upon the charges of drunkenness and
corruption In office. AT the primary elections in
Leavenworth, last week, it is charged by paper
of that city, that both Osborn and Delahay ap-
peared at the polls in mandlin state of intoxi-
cation, and pulled and hauled voters TO get their
support for the Osborn candidate. ID. r. Anthony
is a candidate for Representative in of tho
Wards, and is said ia have been bought over to
the Osborn interest. Certain it is, that for sew
eral months he has been mum the charges
against Osborn, whereas one year ago, he bitter
ly opposed Osbon's election, charging him with
the grossest bribery and corruption, and produc-
ing what he called incOntrovertible proof to sub
stantiate the charges 1t was rumored, some
time ago, that treaty of peace had been con-
cluded between them, and it looks as if such were
the case

MARTIN +. CONWAY OF KANsAs.-This gentle
man having brought himself into pnbic promi.
nence by the recent shooting of Pomeruy in the
streets of Washington City, the following con
cernng him from the Barton county (Kans.) Pro-
gress will he read with much interest:
lone of the notable men of the early history
of Kansas was Martin +. Conway. On the 3Oth
of March, 1855, Conway was elected a member of
the territorial legislature, and met with that bo-
dy on the 4th day of July, 1855, at the now de-
funct "Pawnee," located on the military rrserva-
tion at Fort Riley. After concluding a partial
organization the legislature adjourned to "Shaw
nee Mission Manual Labor School," situated in
the, then. Shawnee Indian reservations, but n
few miles from Westport. Missouri, and about
one hundred and fifty miles east of "Pawnee -
Conway was one of the free state men who
was allowed to hold his seat in that body but
after few days he concluded tn qut the insti-
tuition, and coming to Lawrence published a cir
cular setting forth the ilegality of that body.
In 1869, after the adoption of the 'Wyandotte
Constitution Conway was elected to Congress-
but conld not take his seat until the State was
admitted which took place in 1851. In 1861 he
was reelected TO Congress and during that term
il was that he surprised his constituents by ad-
vOcating the recognition of the South as separ-
ate republic, and declaring the impossibility of
conquering the Southern Confederacy. Leaving
Congress in disgrace, we next hear of him prac-
ticing law in Richmond, Virginia, but there he
must have received the cold shoulder, for after
the war Ire returned to Washington in rags. Dis
sipation and general dislike for work brought
him down to beggary and want. Conwa is in
sane; in fact he always had hankering that
way"

A LOGICAL REsrLT.-A letter in the Prairie
Farmer, from gentleman who is prominent in
agricultural circles in Illinois, proposes as one
remedy for the ills that farmers are heir to, to
elect none but laboring men to the Legislature
Mr.. Mills is aware that he is not the first to
breach this absurd idea, and will permit a sug-
gestlon that he carry it ont its logical resuIts
BY "iabOring men" he doubtless means working
farmers, such as himself; but he has no right to
stop there. His hired hands may justly declare
that they are the real laboring men, and tina:
none bnt they should be sent TO the Legislature.
Mr. Mills switches off ON another track, propos-
reduced to fifteen and that their sessions shall be
held emi-frequently. Would it not be better to
abolish the Legislatures altogether than to make
It monopoly" in the hands of those fifteen p

PRO(J AVIATION


PROCLAMATION.
The approaching close of another year brings
with it the occasion for renewed thanksgiving
and acknowledgement to the Almighty Rnler OF
the universe for the unnumbered mercies which
he has bestowed upon ms. Abundant harvests
have been among the rewards of industry, and,
with local exceptions, hralth has been among
the blessings enjoyed. Tranquility at home and
peace with other nations have prevailed. Frugal
industry is rcgaining its mcrted recognition aud
its merited reward. Gradually, but under the
providence of God, surely, as we trust, the ma
tion is recovering from the lingering results of
dreadful civil strife. For these aud other mer-
cies vouchsated it becomes n people to re-
turn heartfelt and gratitied Acknowledgements.
And with onr Thanksgiving we may unite prayers
for the cessation of local and temporary suffer
ing. | therefore recommend that ON Thursday,
the 9th day of November next, the people meet
in their respective places of worship, make their
Acknowledgements to Almighty God for his boun
ties and protection, and TO offer to Him prayers
for their continuance.
In witness whereof have herennto set my
hand, aud caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington,
this 14th day of October, in the year of onr Lord
1873, and of Neutrality-suspicious. of the United States

THE DARKEY AHEAD.-We have just heard n
good one on candidate in this County, who is
engaged in merchandising. Some time since, he
had a colored man employed in hauling for him,
at s. per day but he cut down the mans wages
to So, telling him he could not and would not pay
more. Subsequently be brought out for
office, and began to fish for votes. Recently, he
received car load of salt, which had to be un-
loaded and hauled some distance. Sending for
the colored man, he took him on top of the car,
and thus addressed him: "Here is job have
for you. / want you to haul all this salt You
know had to reduce your wages, a short time
ago; but I'll allow you three dollars day for
this, and it will all be right; and at the election
you'll give us your vote" "Now, look a-heah," ("
replied ebony. "De debil took Christ up on top
OBJ high mountain, and offered him de whole
world, eff he'd do his work; and you take me on
top OBJ dis car, and offer me three dollars for my
vote. l won't do it! You may git somebody else
TO haul your saltr' And down he elambered, and
off he walked, with the air of offended dignity.

France are trying to MAKE king. is the recognized
representative of the old Bourbon DYNASTY.
His father was the Duke de Berry. who was the
presumptiye successor of Louis XVIII. and his
mother was a Neapolitsn adventures. The
duke was murdered before his son and herr
was born, and the widowhood of the duchess w as
closed in dishonOr. The wonld-be king is ffty-

lead us about the winter. Those mendacious an
the rural editors, and whenepe they begin early
in the season to fix mp their residences for win
ter, the editors at once decide that we shall have
severely cold weather. Time and again have these
wicked beavers and unprrincipled mnskrats
wlfnl falsifiers by the mildness of the following
winter. With like frequency have they delnded
people into the belief that mild winter was at
hand, but in point of the winter proved rxcrp

unusually early to convince us that we are to
haze an arctic winter; but we know them too
well, 2nd decline in any circumstance to put the
slightest CONFIDENCE in them.-N. 7. Graphic.
