BEATR OF GOVERNOR YATES.

One OF the old "war Governors
IL gone. Richard Yates of Illinois
died Nov. 9th, at BArnum's hotel
in ST. Louis. 1t is claimed that he
died OF apoplexy. We presume
the great destroyer of men, whis-
key, killed him. Poor fellow, how
he struggled to overcome the de.
mon, but In vain. The rum traffic
has destroyed enc Of the. bright
lights of our country. But he is
gone.
Richard Yates was = host during
the war. He traversed his entire
State, and by his untiring energies,
and burning eloquence made I'LL
nois the banner State in the war.
He visited the Illinois soldiers on
the field. and by his presence and
counsel cheered them on to victory.
The soldiers of Illinois almost Wor-
spipped him. His name will al
ways be precious among the army
boys OF Illinois
In 1866 he was elected to the
Senate Of the United States, where
he remained until 1871. True men
will mourn over the fate ofthe once
brilliant Yates.

GDNCEIT.

Couecit, says Webster, is vanity

possession ia, By some. maintained TO
be the same thing ia lesser degree;
this eau hardly believe, for I am
well acquainted with persons who
do not possess 4 particle of that very
desirable element, self-posession,
while At the same time they are
conceitcd beyond measure.
One is AS agreeable and necessary
as the other is disgusting and uncal-
led for. Nothing will win confidence
and respect SD quickly, or retain
them so surely as calm, cool self
possession; while on the other hand,
there is nothing that will provoke
the distrust and scarcasm of indif-
ferent beholders, and the teasing
and raillery of friends, as conceit.
Conceit makes one think that he,
only, is endowed with sensitive feel
ipgs: that he is a little beyond COM
mon mortals, aud consequently not
appreciated. If he does anything
which brings npOn himself reproof,
his motives have not been under
stood and he is misjudged. aud in
stead of profiting by this mortifiea-
ton, goes on inflicting upon him
self and others discontinue. Self
possession says, "I am as good as
any one;" Conceit, ''I am better"
a self-pOsessed person is one who
tries to keep what few wits he is
fortunateenough to possess, collect

stances a selfconceited person is one

THAT LITTLE JoB.-The Chicago
Inter Ocean has . dispatch to the ef-
feet that the impeachment of Judge
Delahay, OF Kansas, will doubtless
take place at an early day of the
present Congress. All right. Let
him be impeached at once, and de-
posed. They have been foOling
about this thing for . long time.
The mills of the gods grind slowly
but In this case, we hope surely.
Judge Delehay Is q notorious drunk
Ard. He has disgraced himself, and
the Judgeship, aud our Common
wealth, long enough. Let him be
deposed and forgotten. But what
about his successor? Who will
take his place? 1t 10 rumored that
Senator Crozier took DelAhay's
resignation with him to Washington
aud hopes to stop the proceedings Of
the impeachment. And It is said
that Crozier expects to take Della
hays place. Now we want TO say
here that CroZier would be q grand
Improvement on Delahay, every
way, but we despise Such put-up
Jobs. Crozier was appointed to the
Senate, not because he was the man
for the place, but because he would
not be in the way of somebody
else and he will not be in the way
because he can get Judge Delahay's
place. What q nice arrangement.
II is just the kind of job that
LsAvenworth politicians can put up.
See how nice il will be for Osborn
TO take CAldwell's place, and CrozieI
Delahay's. LeaVenwOrth will have
il all her own way. Splendid.
Now let the press and the people
Of Southern Kansas speak out. We
are able to spoil all such jobs IL we
win only take hold in time, and
stand together. Let the people Of
Southern Kansas, irrespective oil
party, arise in their might and ar.
rest such proceedings. We can't af.
ford 70 stand by aud wink at such
plotting aud plAce-mAkiDS any long.
e.. Il would be criminal for VI
10 allow that LeAvenworth clique tC
carry ont this scheme, for We car
preventit. We have been grooming
under the misrule Of those immacu-
late politicians long enough.
Here's at It. We can, we must breaL
their power. Strike now! strike
boldly. Strike for the right. Lel
US redeem our beautiful Comm on
wealth from such miserable schem'
ing. Southern Kansas to the res
