Kansas Caldwell to the Front.
Swapping the Devil for a witch.

SWa3DMn& the Devil lOf n WITCH.
LEAvENwoRTH, KS, Nov. 24-The
Times OF this city, referring editorialy to
the appointment of Judge Crozier to the
United States Senate, says he was an active
supporter of Alex. Caldwell during the no.
torious Senatorial canvass of 1871, and was
| subsequently, Caldwell's attorney before the
Senate Committee of Elections and Privil-
eges. He is a lawyer but has praeticed
little of late years, having given most OF his
time to the discharge of his duties as cash
ier Of the First National Bank in this city.
Mn Crozier's name headed the list of a
number Of citizens inviting Mr.. Caldwell a
few weeks since to become candidate for
the Legislature from the 4th ward. From
this it viii be seen he has been aconsistent
supporter of Caldwell. He never had a
well-delined position in any political party,
and has never been recognized in this city
or this State as leading Republican. In
all candor we say deliberately that We re-
gard his selection for the position of United
States Senator as unfortunate for the Re-
publican party of Kansas. He could not
be in sympathy with the people OF this
country who are struggling to elude the
grasp Of corporate nionoplies, for in more
ways than one he is a monopoly man, both
in association and training. We regard him
as one not in accord with the reforms which
the Republican party is under pledge to ac-
complish.
The Commercial says the appointment
of Crozier is a Caldwell victory and that
his nomination is the defeat of Osborn and
his Senatorial aspirations. The people
generally disapprove of the appointment.
LAWRENCE, KS, Nov. 24.-Governor
Osborn has appointed Robert Crozier, of
Leavenworth, United States Senator to fill
the Caldwell vacancy. Crozier is the ally
and confidential friend of Caldwell, and
the announcement of his appointment is
received with great surprise and is regarded
as an attempt to revive the Caldwell infu-
ence in the politics of this State. 1t will
meet with the disappsobation of the good
men Of all parties.

INDIAN TERRITORY.
Remarkable Robbery of Rich
Creek.
100000 GONE Glimmering.

$4,000 Gone Glimmering.
PARSONS, KS, Nov. 24.-Walt. GraysOn,
a Creek Indian, farmer and stock dealer,
living near here, was robbed Friday night
of over $4,000, mostly gold and silver, by
a party of three white men. One Of the
men had been at Grayson's house and about
his premises for two or three days under
the pretense of buying horses. His con-
federates arrived Friday evening, well
mounted and heavily armed, and GraysOn
was Immediately seized and his money de-
manded He refused to deliver, where
upon he was hung to tree until nearly
insensible. He still refused, and the
hanging was repeated six or seven times
and not till the robbers threatened to hang
his wife did he reveal the place of its con-
cealment.i
There were several half breed Indians
and negroes about the house, but most of
them were confined to the upper rooms,
and all were intimidated to such a degree
that they offered no resistance. The rob-
berS were traced to point few miles
south of Canadian river, where they sepa-
rated, one going south and the others going
north. A nominal reward OF 81 500 is Of
fered tor the apprehension of the robbers,
which would doubtless be greatly increased
if the men were captured and the money
recovered. Grayson is an old man, nearly
Is, and now lying very sick frOmthe effects
OF his maltreatment.

The assassinations in the Territory aver

mer, with not one execution, under Indian
law. The Creek Council adjourned with
out doing anything, except to pass law
forbidding any Indian to rent to or permit
any white person to occupy any building III

white railroad employees and others to build
houses for school and church purposes at

The story of Nice Young Man with a
Suggestive Name.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 24.-The sensation
of the day is the arrest of William Begg, a
well known young lawyer, charged with for
gerv. Begg is Secretary ofthe Young Mems
Christian Association, and has been regard
ed as an upright and sincere member of the
Second Presbyterian Church. He on sew
eral occasions, as attorney at law, has col
lected notes a-d bills, and appropriated the
money to his own use. On Saturday he
forged his mothers name to check on the
Citizens Savings Bank for S160 and drew
the money. He was arrested butnO money
was found in his possession and the bank
officers out of consideration for his mother,
who is a widow in moderate circumstances,
will not prosecute the case. Begg was
again arrested for appropriating one hun
dred dollars collected by him for a client.
1t now appears that he has purchased goods
at various stores, giving checks for larger
amounts than the goods came to on banks
where he had no money and receiving the
balance in money. Begg is now in Jail.

NATURAL CHANNELS VS.. ARTiF1


When we argued, months ago, that
the mania for railroads. In the advance
of population and business, would
prove curse, rather than blessing,
we were denounced as an old fOgy and
far behind the progressive age. Had
one-fourth the capital so expended been
used in opening up to the gulf the rivers
flowing thereto, we should have heard
less cry about cheap transportation
and the commerce of the valley of the
Mississippi would have been following
its natural channel instead of being
forced half across the continent te
great money centres, there to be ma
nipnlated by spectators for their own
profit, and to the very serious detri-
ment of the producing class. This is
the sort of progress that is born of un-
scrupulous speculation and fostered by
a corrupt government, which has Law
ished the peoples money in strength
ening its 0wnpower, through the agency
of corrupt combinations. Clarksvitit

THE Greek Indian farmer, whose
robbery is detailed by the telegraph
this morning, seems to be made of the
right metal, barring his passion for
hoerding gold. He seemed willing to
die rather than divulge its hiding place.
Though he were killed, his wife and
children could enjoy it. Hence the in
genious resort of his tormentors,
threatening to hang his wife if he did
not divulge. We hope the red-skinned
hero will recover his treasure.

In the case of the United States against
Lapiere and others, the Supreme Court to-
day decided that where party advanced
funds in New Orleans to be used by their
agent in the interior in the purchase of cot
ton prior to the capture of the city in 1862,
all parties being then in New Orleans, and
the city was captured by Federal
forces before the cotton was pur-
chased with funds so adv anced,
the agent having gone into the interior
prior to the capture, his agency to pur-
chase cotton was terminated by the hostil-
ity of his principals toward cotton owners,
consequent upon the capture, and that a
purchase of cotton afterward was an effect
ual aid to the enemy. 1t was forbidden by
the soundest principles of public law. The
purchaser, therefore, obtained no title to
the cotton, and had no claim against the
government for its capture.
