Coleridgo says there are four kinds
of readers: the hour glass, whose
reading runs in and out and leaves
no trace of gain; the second, like the
sponge, takes everything; the third
retains only refuse that some would
throw away; but the the fourth, like
the miner among gems, keeps the
pure and casts aside the slippings.

a srw CONTROVERSY.

The Chicago Tribune cites a singular con-
troversv which has arisen in Omaha between
the Union Pacific Railroad Company and
the Pullman Paiace-Car Company, and at
last got into the courts. The controversy
grows cut Of the fact that the Sleeping
Company allows passenger who has but
one railroad ticket to appropriate one whole
section. and sometimes an entire drawing
room. This TACT coming to the knowledge oil
the Union Pacific superintendent. he de-
manded that no sleeping car should go over
the road unless the diagram was first ex-
hibied TO him, ami it WAS shown that the
car was necessary for the accommodation OF
passengers. The respective parties have
taken their claims into court. The Sleeping
Car Company apparently have the right OF
the arestion on their side. 50 long az they
pay 50 much per car for the privilege of hav-
ing II hauled, it ia difficult 10 see why the
road Ia not obliged 70 haul il whether 1t IL
full or empty.

PERSONAL.

Hon. John J. ingalls,, U. S. Senator, will
leave the State to day for Washington, and
be at his post of duty upon the assembling OF
Congress next Monday. During the summer
and autumn he made frequent tours through
the country, and r:sitsd in his various trips
nearly every county in Kansas. He goes to
Washington probably better acquainted with
the real wants OF k;s constituents and the
general needs of the State, than any OF bis
predecessors. He has extended his research for
information respecting desired legislation
beyond the boundaries Of the State, and will
NOS take his place in Congress as locality
Senator, but will be known as Senator oi
he United States.
Mr.. Ingalls,, we are glad to say, is in full
accord with the Administration in Cuban
affairs. He believes in maintaining the
national honor, yet admires the conduct OF
the Administration in refusing 10 yield to
the popular clamor for immediate war.
So far as the city of Leavenworth is COL
cerned, we believe the Senator will guard ouE
local Interests as faithfully and as fairly n
any Congressman should guard locality in
teresta. Our citizens believe in his profes'
s;ons of friendship and have faith in hi'
ability 10 fulfill them.

capacity. lie j. 1t the head of several cor
rupt rings, ar.i . enipha.ically monopolist
of the worst type. fhe oifense To the people
of Kansas in his nomination, however, will
be greater on account of his connection with
Caldwell, and the weli-known fact that his
appointment va. an endorsement of the fal-
len Senator. Indeed, it is even hinted that
Caldwell forced the appointment against the
expressed wishes of the Governor and his
immediate friends. This is an outrage upon
the people of Kansas; and the outrage as
sumes a graver import, when We consider
that it was perpetrated right in the face Of
an overwhelming majority in favor of de-
cency and reform. What will they say in
Washington when the news is spread that
Judge Crozier, the not oserscrupulous attor-
ney for Caldwell hss been appointed to fill
the vacant place of the guilty Senator?
What will they say throughout the country?
Will they say that Kansas is still Under the

Greater than eser seems the necessity for
independent action on the part of the peoples
representatives. More imperative seems the
demand for consolidation on the part of the
new element in politios. To relieve the
State of veaal politicians :he friends Of re-
form must org inize to control the new House
of Representatives. The Oranges should
take hold Of the matter; public opinion must
be aroused; Independent action mu.t be
stimulated. If the true friends Of Kansas
will only make de,ermir'd effort now,
they can redeem their State Ibis winter.

Congressmen. unless that gentleman will
pledge Himself not 10 appoint TO any chair

a most commendabie article; but may it not,

as a reflection upon the Speaker himself ::
A very wide construction might he placed
upon the term "implicated," As used above.

From the Leavenworth Evening tall.

Whatever chances Leavenworth may have
heretofore had OF securing the Senator for
the next three years, have been entirely lost
by the appointment of Judge Crozier, to ill
the six weeks term, and for this Gov.
Osborn ia entirely responsible.
Had the LeavenwOrth delegation went ny
to Topeka this writer prepared TO unite
upon some honest citizen of this city; who
was a representative of the people az against
the railroad rings and monopolies, there is
little doubt that he would have been elected
Bat the appointment of n man like Judge
Crozier, hossoeyer good a man personally
and privately, ia recognized by the State at
large "a 4 Movement in favor of monopolies
as a movement in favor of capital, ard as
such has awakened prejudice agsinst the
siaiesmarlike action on the part of our dele
cation, and with that, We will of necessity,
lose the Senator at this election.
We do not assume that this action on the
part of Gov. Osborn, was to produce this
efec., although We have heard this charged
on the streets, hut the fact remains that
Crozier's appointment hds produced this re-
suit. We believe We speak the sentiments of
three .fourths OF our best citizens when we
say that Gov. Osborns election TO this hon.
orable position is not desired by oHr people.
The feeling is that the election of some hon
est, sober, capable man, from another part
Of the State would be Of far more benefit TO
our city, and far more acceptable to the
people, than would the election o! sIch an
ambitious mediocre man as Osborn.

We incline to the opinion that Gov. o.
born would hlve done better had he quietly
appointed Senator Immediately after Cald-
wells resignation, instead of waiting to be
dogged and badgered by horde of aspiring
politicians, az he has been during the past
few weeks. CrOzier's appointment is un-
fortunate in several respects. One is his To-
cation, Our State has grown too large and
its interests are too numerous to make j;
proper that both of the Senators should be
taken persistently and continuously from the
northeastern border of the State. Opposed
az We are to what are called the shrieks of
locality" We are still mindful that some re-
gard should be paid to the various interests
of the State in tie choice Of Senators. But
the chief objection 70 Mr.. Crozer ia the IN
pleasant noloriety he achieved in connection
with the Caldwell matter. We think il
would have been wiser in the Governor, and
far more in harmony with the sentiment of
the people, to have given all persons con-
nected with that affair a wide berth.
However, the appointment il no very
great affair. The incumbent will hold only
for brief period. and Judge Crozier has
ability enough to ill the seat creditsbly while
he does hold it. His appointment has prob
ably saved us from something worse. There
is that to be thankful for anyhow.
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1873-11-27

Elsewhere in this issue Of The TINES we
re-produce from the New York Tribune an
able, calm, and dispassionate article in favor
of the reinstatement of Senator Sumner a,
the head of the Foreign Relations COmmit-
tea proposition which We are pleased to
see meets the appreciation of the Repnbli-
can party. We take pleasure, also, in re-
cording the fact. Of q very general expression
by the press Of the country, in favor Of the
Massachusetts Legislature eSpunging the
resolution of censure adopted two years ago
ON account of the Senator's battle flag resO
luton. In referring to the repeal Of this
resolution the Washington Chronicle, the
immediate organ Of the President, says.
1t will be remembered that the Chronicle
advised the Massachusetts Legislature ls-t
wear ssto lift this crown of thOrns from their
old Senator's brow" and told them plainly
that it would be better for them TO do 1t
themselves while Mr.. Sumner still Lives than
to leave il to be done by their children after
his departure TO his final haven OF reIose.
We now repeat the adm0Dition.
We think Sen3tOr souulneI has
some almost inexcusable errors. This.
however, only proves him n - '..i.a-
We ought not TO expect sso>"'i.g per.ection
in this world. And the people Of the whole
country will unite with us in the opinion,
that whatever may have been Senator Sum-
ner's errors or weakness, he has added more
to the honor of Massachusetts that it is pOssi-
BILE for it to add to his Just fame. In some
respects he has doubtless had superiors, in
Others he has never had an equal among
American statesmen. Every attempt to de-
grade him mu.t, and ought to, recoil on the
heads Of its authors. Such attempts onght
not to have originated in his own State, and,
having 80 originated, those who are wise will
hasten 10 correct the error.
Senator Sumner has grown gray in his
countrv's service. Its honor and progress
have ever been dear to his heart. He ia now
beginning to stoop with the weight of years
devoted TO the service of the Republic. The
evening Of his wellspent life ought to be
solsced ky his countrymen. The day has
passed for inflictine wounds on this consist
ent champion of human freedom. Let
Massachusetts lift the heavy hand which
has inflicted this eevere blow On one Of the
most gificd Of her illustrious sons, without
stopping To debate the question of its at
stract iustice. His well-merited fame will,
no sever continue 10 be dear to all true
Americana, whether this advice il followed
or mot.

Judge Crozier is certainly not a repre-.
sentative of the advanced views Of the Re-
publican party OF the State of Kansas to day,
to say nothing Of the Reformers outside the
party. We fully recognize the fact that the
Republican party must keep pace with the
public sentiment of the State and Nation, il
she expects to hold the reins Of power. W.
had hoped for the interests Of the party that
Gov. Osborn would have recognized this,
and appointed a man in accord with the al
vanced sentiment Of the people. But, in.
stead, We are constrained to say, that we look
upon this appointment az an insult to every
''Settler," to every 'Granger," and to every
Republic.a who il seeking to disenthrall the
party.

ONE MORE LESSON.

Leayeworth has learned within the past
five years many lessons OF value. hnt she
hiss yet to he taught one lesson Of vast inn
portance. She must place herself in accord
with the public sentiment of the State Of
Kansas, IL size expects to claim the moral
and commercial support Of the people OF
this State. Il il true that nTr citizens have
not directly committed hall the grevious
blunders ascribed to them, but they have in
a measure upheld or at lesst countenanced
the very men who are responsible for their
commission. In plain language, We must
get the upper hand Of the rogues before We
can get the respect Of the State. Merchants
and professional men averse to "meddling
in politics" "a they call it, are responsible
for the elevation of unworthy men to worthy
places. Their silence gives assent and pun
ishmen. for outrages inflicted upon a patient
people will visit them. We have corrupt
ring in Leavenxorth. The ring represents
wealth and sort of social influence.
II always clsmors for pesee and good will,
and more than once well meaning citizens
have been led by the desire for harmony, TO
make truce with corruption. II must not
be 40 hereafter. We must fight the money
power, Until we can expel il from place.
Men whom we recommend CT elect TO repre-
sent us, should have clear records. : The s.Is-
picion OF corruption mnst no. attach TO their
names. II We promote mea OF this charac-
ter from our own ranks, or g:re Our support
to men of this mould from other localities
We will gain the good will OF the S ate. But
so long as our people tolerate the political
advancement of men who are known to be
repusiye 10 the honest masses from one end
of the State to the other, so long will Ieav-
enworth lie cursed for all the ills tha, follow
IN the train of commercial politics.
