Staid old Massachusetts has elected two Hoars.
y George C. Crowther, of the Usage Mission
Transcript has made sbsut the poorest speculs-
tien Of any young politician We know Of. Last
Summer, when he removed to Usage Mission, he
was by some slcight Of hand performance, appoint
I'd Postmaster. He was elected Secretary Of the
stats Senate, and during the York furors, let bis
tongue get away with him 50 badly that be was
honored with an investigation. New, We zee, the
old Post-master at Usage Mission has been rs-ap-

= Summers friends, headed by John G. Whit
tier, have petitioned numerously, and have made
. strong effort to have the Massachusetts, Legis-
lature expunge the resolutions condemning the
ssnafor. for his battle fing movement. But both
branches Of the Legislature have rejected the
proposition, by decisive majorities. Even the re
spsct in which Mr.. Whittier is held avsiled his
friend nothing. Sumner has lost his hold upon
Massachusetts,. The best thing he can do 10 to
die, and follow the other renegsdes.
q To man up tree, ''Mexa" Morton's vir-
State, was entertaining. Morton has to be car
ried to and from the Senate chamber in chair;
be sits while speaking; and he can barely wiggls
along on level floor, with the aid of two canes.
This 10 the result Of lechery aud licentousness.
His life was barely saved, after ysars of rigorous
treatment, compared with which, death wsuld
have been fun. And Merton cannot tolerate cor
ruption!
u The Topeka Record thinks the Post-efiice
question in that City does not concern the people
% much as to who shall hold the Office, ~ does
the matter of location. 1t thinks the people
should rise in their might, and demand that it re-
main in its present convenient location. The
publishers of the Record own the builaing, and
get big rent for it.

For our part, the frauking privilege never gave
us any trouble.

day, with original and select abnse and glorifca-
tion over the misfortune Of Caldwell.
" Much as We sympatize with Caldwell, We
cannot conscientionsly advise him to submit his
case to the people Of Kansas. It would be like .
rat asking to he released from steel-trap, that
he might submit his case to about thirty-seven
hungry cats.
