FREE BANKING NOT THE REMEDY.

S1R: Tho amount Of currency extant Ia about

LIBEL SUIT.

The Kansas City journal gives the
following account of the arrest of r.
ID. Taylor, editor of the Wyandotte
Gazette, by S. a. Cobb, NJ. c.
Our ncighboring town of Wyandotte
was thrown into a fever of excitement
yesterday by the arrest of II. Ii. Tay-
lor, esq, editor of the Gazette, charged
with dcfaming the character of Hon. S.
A. Cobb, NJ. G.. from Kansas. The
matter out of which this grew seems
to be about as follows: The Wilson
county Free Press published an item
to the effect that charges had been
circulated duplicating Col. Cobb in
lobbying through the back pay bill,
and it asked if the charge be true.
This seems to have originated with the
Wyandottc gazette, and that paper
takes up the inquiry of the Free Press,
and, in reply, asserts that Col. Cobb
did lobby for that bill. 1t is also
charged that Col. CObb's only commits
sion in the army was that of captain
in an unurganized Indiana regiment,
in connection with which he managed
to draw several months pay without
doing duty: that he afterwards was
commissairat for eighteen months,
during which time he robbed the gov
ernment of about nineteen thousand
dollars: that as attorney for John
Specrs, hc attempted to bride Capt.
Matthews, one of the jurors: and that
in the late congress contest, he showed
himself to be a druken, vulgar man, to
whom ladies could not listen, and at
Augusta they were compelled TO leave
the place where he was speaking.
This article appeared i'll this week
paper, Friday. Ii would be manifcstly
improper for us TO discuss the merits
of the case at this time, but this much
we saw: Col. Cobb has always sus-
tanned good reputation among his
fellow citizens in Kansas, aud at the
last election was elected to congress
bv a large majority, nearly everybody
in Wvandotte county voting for him.
Since Wvandotte is his home, it seems
that something of these charges should
have been known before, and had they
been known and substantiated before
the election the result would doubtless
have been different.
Since a criminal action Is pending
against Mr. Taylor for making these
charges. it would be manifestly I'M
proper for us to say anything calcu-
lated to prejudice his case. His per-
somal fate depends upon proving what
he has said. and his best efforts may
therefore be expected. Col. Cobb al
lcgcs that Mr.. TAYLOR has followed him
with this kind of abuse for the past
four or five years, and seems TO cherish
toward him malignant feeling, for
which he has no cause. However that
may be. the matter has now assumed
a serious aspect. and the people of the
entire west will feel deep interest in

ON THE WING.

DEAR EAGLE: This evening we're
on the wing, gliding along the iron
track up the Little Arkansas valley at
the rate OF twenty miles an hour, leav-
ing those most dear-wife and babies
behind, flying away from the tolls
and cares of a public writer. which.
though at times tries the tension of
every nerve, yet still possesses an un-
rcsistablc charm.
The Little river valley, with its broad
and winding streams, bathed in flood
of golden light that is reflected back
from cioudlets that arc rose tinted bv
the setting sun, is disappearing from
view, and with feelings more of sad
ness than of pleasure, we take our eyes
away from the scene. For is not the
swift flying train and the shades of
night taking us away from and closing
from sight our home. our business and
the people TO whom we weekly talk
through your columns? And why
this trip! Why only because the doc
tor and our friends advise it. We are
off TO Pixies peak, the land Of mineral
springs, light air aud cool brcezcs, for
a change in our system.
We notice one thing: The crops
around Wichita and up the Little river
valley are far in advance of most of
the crops up here in the central part
of the state. We guess that we will
have TO give it up that the Arkansas |
valley is the best country in the state. |
But il is dark and we must close.
We are accompanied by Mr.. {. f.
Gilbert, one of Wichiia's leading young
men, for poor editor to travel with
monevcd men-bank director, ctc.-big
thing, who seems full of bright antici-
pations, so we'll just inditc for him
little Excelsior" poeting; his start
from Wichita; his assent up the peak,
aud tie catastrophe:
The shades of night were falling fast,
When on through Wichita there passed
A youth. who shouted as he went
And seemed TO shout just what he meant
Pixies Peak or bust.
oh stay, 4 maiden said and rest
That weary head upon my breast;
tear fell down upon his nose,
But from his lips the cry arose
Pixies Peak or bust.
His brow was sad, his nose beneath
Peeped like an acorn from lis sheath
Yet, as the Halfway house he gained.
He cried once more nor e'er complained
Pixies Peak or bust.
At early dawn the youth still pressed
His toilsome way toward the crest
His feet were sore, his "wind" played out.
But still he mustered strength to shout
Pixies Peak or bust.
Then, in the light of the new day
Chill. comfortless. and sore he Law
pom the rocks and feeby gasped,-
As with his hands his brow he clasped--
I'm busted.
