that when he was the superintendent of
Rolling Stock of the y Onion Pacific Railroad,
from 1866 to 1871, secondhand locomotives
were sold to the Company by g. P. Butler,
of Boston, as first-class- engines, the Com
pany paying $4,000 or $4,000 apiece for

The following are the particulars, as given
by telegraph, of the excitement in the Kan
sas Legislature on the occasion of the cleo
ton of United States Senator:
1.-The Joint Convention had just assembled,
when Senator York, of Montgomery Coanty, arose
to question of privilege, and stated that he came
to the Legislature an ant-Pomeroy man, and
took an active part in the opposition to the Sena;
requests for interviews, and, at length, Colonel
York says, with the advice of Ben. f. Thompson,
of Miami County, w. II. johnson. of Anderson
County, and James Horton, of Douglas County,
consented to the interview for the sole and sim
gle purpose of unmasking the yillainy of the old
corruptionist. About midnight on Monday, in
Senator Pomeroy's room in the Tiff House, the
bargain and sale of Senator York's vote
and influence were made In consideration
of the sum of S8009 of which sum $1,000
was paid down. Pomeroy promising to pay the
remaining 81 900 after the election. Colonel York
then handed the money, in 81 900 packages, to the
Secretary of the Senate, and invited members and
Senators to examine it. York held up his hands
to and swore before heaven that every statement
was true in substance and detail, and promised to
make public other revelations What Pomeroy
unfoIded to him, he said, would excite the whole
people of the nation '+
''The confusion that followed was intense. The
cry of Hang Pomeroyp and motions for recess
rendered it impossible to transact business. The
supporters of POmeroy were staggered and con-
founded. When order was restored, the motion
for recess was voted down. and the first ballot in
jeint convention was taken, which ballot resulted
in giving Ingalls, of Atchson, 113 votes, and POme-
roy none. The remaining votes were divided be-
tween Lowe. Harvey and Starke."
