KELLOGG's MISSIONARY EFFORTS.

lNeDraslSa Cor. Chicago IIMc5, IT'LL
NEBRASKA CITY, Juno 3.-If Kan
sas, as the thoroughbred political foa-
Of republicanism, has been and continl
ues to be, the pet of Jeremiah Colbaith,
OF Massachusetts, and Oliver +. Throclz-
morton, Indiana, and of other rromi-
nent aliases in the United States Senate,
Nebraska has not been altogether, as a
State, free from eruptions Of pure 10y
atty. a Governor bearing the name of
Butler, pronylnic, by tho way, which
is as indissolubly connected with pilfcr-
ing and pecuiation as lead is with tho
quality of solidity and weight, has been
ilnpeached for one crime out of Il thou
sand which he committed. Seventeen
thousand dollars of missing school
funds were traced into his trousers, and
through the influence of the Omaha
Daily Herald, and u few other disfoyai
means, his IIxcellency tho Republican
Governor Of Nebraska, which was born
political twin with the State of Pome-
roy and Caldwell, was found guilty and
dcpOsel from office. Here was :ln eN-
ample Of iniiIclity to parrntage and
degeneration from political pcdigrcc
quite perccrtible and painful. True
party fc:,lty, such ;,s eXoncratc.l CuIl;,X,
canOniztss Amos, and dciiies Lincoln,
would have sentenced to the United
States Senate David Butler for Il term
OF nj least six years service. Here
Nebraska "WcnL blcli'' ON the great
moral idea, and exhibited uinlistak:,-
bic signs of impure breeding AS 10 her
loyalty. In fact, by inpe:.cfiins even
one of her official thieves, Nebraska has
lost all claim upon Il reputation equal
to that OF Kansas. rhis lack of larty
stamina may cn,ir from the lalnentablr
fact that neither Goliath, nor Thr,ck-
morton, nor john Hiplic NJ itch"ll, Of
Oregon, over preached in this state,
nor did Rev. Mr.. kalluch ever polite
and gt'siniizc i'll this community.
Tho only Jealous missionary eyer
FURNISHED Nchr:ls!<a was The present
Governor of the state Of Louisiana, the
Right Hon. William Pitt Kellogg. The
"latc i:,u,ontcd" a. Lincoln conferred
upon the Territory of Nebraska. the i'll
c*stinnabfe blessing OF making Mr.. kcl-
loGg lis Chief Justice, and ilnpio.h.-
minded copprrhc;ads called him Neccss-
sity kellogg, because, like old Mr.. Ne
ceSsity, no knew no law. AS u jtIrist,
Mr.. kellogg WAS not deeper than u
gopher hole, and was more tlan twice
AS crooked.
In u prc-cn,i,tinn ease ut Omaha, in
volvins many thousand dollars (thc
case OF Smiley vs.. somebody whose
name has faded from memory, Judge
William Pitt Kellogg, then Chief JUS
ticc of Nebraska, now Governor, by the
grace Of Grant and tho force of arms, of
the State of Louisiana, took not only 4
lively interest, but II pecuniary interest.
In short, he traded for an interest in
land in litigation before him in his
court, and then decided tho cause SO as
to make his own title good.
But Poppleton Il Woolworth, not
having tho fear of Kellogg before their
eyes, took the matter to the Supreme
Court of the United States. There it
was asccrtaineu by Judge David Davis
that he Davis) himself had been in
duced to purchase by some Illinois
fricnds-Wm. Pitt kellogg was from
Illinois and knew Davis we'll he always
avcrrcl-;tn interest in tho very land
now before him'as II Judge of the SUI
prcme Court of tho United States, in
controversy as to its title; and Judge
David Davis refused to sit in the cause,
and tho Supreme Court of the United
States overturned the decision of Pitt
Kellogg, and burstcd his title in the
land, to attain which no had been
guilty of a crime in Office, to which that
of the * :ns;,s I'cndcrs in social life was
chit,t's play.
