A commissioner of The TINES started for
Southern Kansas yesterday morning, for the
purpose of gathering in the few business men
in that section of the State whose names are
not already upon our subscription books.
THE TINES is nov truly, and in the broadest

SENATOR FROM VIRGINIA.

Mr.. X. NJ. T. Hunter. of Virginia, for
merly a leading member of the United
States Senate. subsequently political leader
of the rebellion, and at present, as the
Chicago Journal says, q vegetating reminis-
c.nce, has the hardihood, in his old age, to
advocate publicly the appropriation OF $780,
coo, 600 to the South by the United States
Government, under the pretense of "loan,"
to pay her for the loss of her emancipated
slaves. He is old enough to know better
than father such prepos,erous proposition,
but We presume the recent Democratic vic
tories in Ohio. New York, Wisconsin,
Maryland, and Virginia inspired him 10 it,
and the probabilities now are that he will be
returned to the Senate by his State, to advo-
cate his Wild schemes in the Congress OF the
United States.

wuarTHEG GOVERNMENT WILL do.

The Washington organ Of the Admins
tration gives us to understand that our gov
eminent will take prompt and decisive
measures in relation to the Nirginius out
rage. The Chronicle, which is generally
supposed to speak by the card, said. when
the first reports were received:
"If, as there Is too much reason to fear,
the news should prove to he true, there can
be but little doubt that the action Of Our
government will be prompt and earnest.
Spain ought to understand that such out.
RACES against humanity, civilization and the
spirit of the age as have recently been
perpetrated in Cuba under the guise of what
lie called Spanish military law can be no
longer tolerated on this continent. The pub
lie, no less than the government, await with
the utmost anxiety further news in coDfirma-
ton or denial of this reported inhuman and
bloody tragedy"
The relation which the journal quoted
from, bears to the Administration,
jls,iiies us in accepting its expressions as a
fair index of the temper of the eorerr'n'r',

life INSURANCE IN IOWA.

A raid upon the life insurance companies
in Iowa has been noticed in several newspa-
pers, and the public would infer that the
companies had beenl guilty Of some INSIDE
meanor. A correspondent of the Hartford
Courdnt explains the facts. Under an old
law of Iowa the annual statement Of each
company doing business in that common
wealth must be filed before the first day Of
February, under penalty of 500 for each
days delay. being nearly if not quite i'm
possible for many life insurance companies
to file the elaborate statements required BY
all the different States within thirty days
from January 1t no attempt has therefore
been made to enforce the penalty. The law
provides that three-fourtbs of the amount
recovered shall 90 to the school fund, and
one-fourth to the informer, and the Couranfs
correspondent thinks that james Mulligan,
the complainant in these cases, is after that
one-fourth, which will amount to about fifty
thousand dollars.

WHO SPEAKS FIRST:

The Washington Chronicle thinks that on
the first day of the coming Congressional
session there will be lively race between
several patriotic members OF the Lower
House for the privilege Of doing either one
Of two things-or both Of them. 1t would
be hard matter now to guess who will first
introduce a resolution resembling the salary.
grab law, and who will be the first to recog-
nize Cuba. OF course, it will depend good
deal on the Speaker, whoever he may be,
AMI he will have a tough time in selecting
the gentlemen to do either of these two
things from the scores that will jump from
their seats to do them.

The Cincinnati Gazette objects to sending
ont any of our: monitors to Cuba, and says
the only persons ever killed by the monitors
were three of their own crews, which they
went down with like so many leaden collins.
Why should We subject our seamen to this
horrible fate because some filibusters have
been shot? The Wholesale drowning OF
monitor crews can not bring back the. fill
busters. And if We mean anything serious,
who had better not put our monitors where
anv of the iron-clad frigates Of Spain can
come at them, for one of them would walk
over the monitors, one after another, be-
tween their eight minute firings.

A SLANDER RETUTED.

A gentleman who was formerly resident
of Douiphan county, writes FROM Leaven-

LEAvENwoRTH, KAs., Nov. 5, 1878.
EDITOR KANSAS CHIEF:-In your issue
of October 3Oth, appears the following:
"At the primary elections in Leaven-
worth, last week, it is charged by paper Of
that city, that both Osborn and Delahay ap.
peared At the polls in q maudlin state of in
toxication, and pulled and hauled voters to
get their support for the Osborn candidate. !"
cannot suppose that you desire to do in
Justice to any person; please, therefore, to
publish this statement. As Governor
Osborn once lived in Doniphan county, as
we'll ~ myself, there may possibly be some
still there who feel an interest in his good
name; and for their satisfaction, as we'll as
that simple justice may be done to our Gov
ernor, write to deny the above statement,
which you published.

ward, referred to BY you, and conversed
with Governor Osborn during the progress
of the vote, and at the close thereof, and he
was neither intoxicated nor under the in
fiuence Of liquor, even in slight degree.
The paper from which you quoted has made
very many careless and reckless charges
against the Governor, and in several cases,
with a. little foundation in fact to base them
upon - in the one above referred to.

Apropos of Spain, the report Of Cap
tain James Forney, of the Marine Corps
whom Secretary Robson sent over 70
Europe to inspect the relative strength
and efficiency of the shipboard soldiers
of the leading nations, shows that Spain
has 10, 900 marines, and the marine corps
10 the highest branch of her service, the
officers being uniformly selected from
the nobility and the corps trained in the
colleges Ut Madrid and Cadiz. This
large marine force 10 less efficient ct

officers having become trading politi-

Is Anybody Excited.

From various places We have reports that
in various other places there is great excite
ment over the execution of the Cuban flibuz.
ters, Each il informed that at the other
there is great excitement, and each ia ex-
pected to become terribly excited thereby.
The play of reaction is carried on by tele.
grams Of great excitement, growing excite
ment, rising excitement, undated excite.
ment, and 20 on; and yet no one gets excited,
that We have heard OF.
There is an effort to get the President and
Cabinet excited. Great and growing excite
ment is telegraphed to them from various
cities. Sometimes it is telegraphed that the
administration is getting excited; sometimes
that ii wants the people to hold themselves
and not get excited; and sometimes that it
wants to be held. lest it get excited.
One report makes out that the President
is terribly excited: for it states thst he has
said that the swift execution the Santiago
authorities gave to the filibusters puts them
(the authorities) outside the pale OF civilized
nations, and thereby would justify this gov.
eminent in taking possession Of Cuba, and
restoring civilization. To keep the paling
of civilization lie . noble task; but the SOL
dierly execution of the 6libusters was tender
mercy compared to the horrors our soldiers
suffered in the Confederate prison pens; yet
We not only let the authors Of these cruelties
within our pale, but We have treated them
with distinguished consideration. So We
had better not assume the guardianship of
the pale Of civilization quite vet.
How does a man ect who il excited over
the execution of the flibusten? How when
he ,s growing more excited? How when his
excitement is rising? How when biz excite
ment continues unabated? We suppose that
an excited community consists of excited in
dividuals, and We want to know how an
individual Who il excited ever this Spanish
affair behaves? Does he weep, fight, fast,
tare himseif, drink up evil. eat crocodile,
butt his brains out, mouth. rant, scream!
What does he do? We are curions to know;
Tor We can find no citizen of Cincinnati vho
is excited over this affair, and We want to
inform them how TO perform when they
catch the excitement.
1t might be thought that any one who got
terribly excited would 60 right OF to Cuba
for vengeance; but We doubt il there will be
need Of holding back many. In fact. the
end of this reporting terrible excitement
eeems to be to get the government to pull the
Cuban chestnuts ont of the hre, while they
themselves stay here and excite Themselves.
Though there il terrible excitement, yet, -
ancient Polouius would ay, there 10 method
in il. We hope the aduinistrsfion viii not
be led BY this effort to generate excitement
to believe that the American people are
nation Of fools, or that they all have the itch
of thieving, and want to put their "picken
