"PREMATURE."-A loud demand has been made
for honest, outspoken officials, who would not
exeuse nor cover mp wrong-loing in high places.
Now that such an one has been found, who has
exposed official peculation aud fraud, the work
has commenced of crying him down, charging
him with selfish and dishonest motives aud a
rally is being made to the rescue of the alleged
wrong-doers. The cry goes forth, that the Re-
port Of Auditor Wilder is 4prenature"-"w why
does be send it broadcast oyeF the State at this
early day, instead Of Transmitting it TO the Gov
ernor, he should do, and permitting that officer
to communicate it to the Legslaturei" They
might as well ask, why doesn't the Auditor shys-
ter and humbug like his predecessors, and per-
init the thing to end in smoke, as usual For
years. charges have been made against State
officers, when the Legislature met; committees
have been appointed, who have "let on ~ to in
vestigate, but have whitewashed the Job, and
let it go, to be repeated at the next session.
Wilder states what he claims he can prove, and
gives figures and dates. Perhaps if the people
are aroused on the subject, they will demand
a thorough investigation by their Representa-
tives, and summary punishment of the parties
who may be found guilty. On the other hand,
Treasurer Hayes is warned in time to prepare his
defence. He knows what the charges are; and
if they untrue he has time to collect his evil
dence to establish his innocence. This "prema-
ture" Report will have the effect either to vind-
cate public officer, or to pst an end to lc:sir
seeries of peculations and frauds

Is He INELIGIBLE f-The argument has been
raised against Judge Kingman as a candidate for
the United States Senate, that he is Cunstitu-
tionally ineligible inasinnch rs that instrument
prohibits Judges from being elected to any Office
under the authority of the United States or of
this State, during the time for which they were
elected Judges. If this be correct, Judge Lowe
was illegally elected to Congress, Judge Price
was illegally elected to the State Senate, and
many other men in the State have illegally held
offices. We 80 not know that Judge Kingman
has get announced himself rs candidate for the
Senate, or authorized any one else to so announce
him. But he was one of the trainers of our State
Constitution, and is now the proper officer to in
terpret 10 i; and IL he consents to become randi.
date for Senator, it viii be pretty conclusive evil
dcnce that the Constitution makers meant, not
that Judge could not bc elected to any other
office during the time that he would be entitled
to hold the Office of Judge under an election, but
that he could not serve ip aRy other office while
holding the Judgeshp.
Judge Kingman is in every way qualified for
a Senator. Physically, he is none of the strong
est; but he can get around BITTER than Morton
or Sumner, or Browhlow, or several other Sena-
TORS who arc not deemed TO he disqualified be-
!Ssuse of physical nfrmities. But our opinion is,
(withoSt having heard word from him on the
snhject,) that he would nIuch prefer the position
to he vacated by Judge Dclahay and that his
tastes and capacities wpuld be suited better
there than in the United States Senate. He
sHght to have the position.

IT WAS ALWAYS SO.-Those who think the ap-
pontment of Judge Crozier to the Senate is such n
bad thing, because the newspapers are bowling
over it, should bear in mind that Kansas has
never had Senator that was not abused BY the
newspapers without stint, and every effort ms,]e
to break them down and destroy their Influence.
Jim Lane was; and when the Legislature under-
took tR elect Carney in his place, the papers that
had abused Lane, tnrned their batteries upon
Carney; and when Ross was elected to the va
cancy caused by Lanes death, they abused him;
and when Caldwell was elected in place Of Ross,
they abused him and now that Crozier is ap-
pointed in place of Caldwell, they are abusing
bim. Pomeroy was abused for twelve years; and
when Ingalls, was elected in his stead, the "man-
nfacturers of public sentiment" opeaed tbeir
sluices upon him; but public sentiment was not
in q condition to manufacture, and they were
compelled to shut down. Whoever is elected the
coming session, will have the same hard road to
travel. People at distance should begin to see
that the cry about the ''Rotten Commonwealth"
and the corruption Of public men in Kansas, is
principally newspaper bowling, inspired by the
of editors, or the politicians in
whose interest they are run.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1873-12-18

THAT IND1eNAuoN.-The papers have had
their burst of indignation over the appointment
Of Crozier, and have tried SO desperately to man
ufacture public sentiment against him, that they
imagine the people are almost in fit mood to
march to the Capital, and hang Gov.
Osborn. Now, the truth is, the people have cared
not particle about it. If they have expressed
themselves either way, it was generally to the
effect that they supposed Crozier was q very
good man, and would do as well as any other
man whom the Governor could have appointed"
Bat the newspaper hullabaloo has set the people
to thinking, and it is Significant that the first
public expression of their thoughts comes from
the Usage Settlers, who were represented to have
been especially and in an aggravating degree in
suited by the appointment of Crozier. The Gen.
eral Council of the Settlers Association met at
Parsons, and by strong vote heartily endorsed
Gov. Osborn's action in appointing Crozier, de-
claring that there was nothing in the act to for
felt their confidence in the Governor. This was
done, notwithstanding the fact that NJ. W. Reyn-
olds was there, andl BITTERLY opposed it, reading
newspaper articles written by himself in con-
demnation of the Governor.

u The election Of Matt. Carpenter as Presi.
dent pro TEN. of the Senate, is matter of grief
to the Democratic papers, which have, for a year
past, been charging him with gross crimes and
immoralities. 1t shows what the Senate thinks
of their truthfulness. There are others who are
little satisfied as the Democratic editors. Car
penter was known as Caldwell's strongest advo-
cate, during his trial, and Senator Morton's fol-
lowers Thought that big gun had squelched Car
penter, in forcing Caldwell ont of tho Senate.
The two men, of all Others of whom Morton is
jealous in the Senate, are Conkling and Carpen-
ter The fact that the one was rendered the
Chief Justiceship by the President, and the 9th
er was elected to preside over the body of which
Morton is member, must be anything but con-
soling to the feelings of old "Moxa.,

Of compelling the soldier to lie on the floor. so
the peasant and his wife took him in their bed.
Waking mp in the night, they discovered that the
soldier was violating the rights of hospitality.
"Why don't you tell him to quit." said the hus-
band. "Me," replied the wife; "why, can't
speak q word of French. Bnt let us keep still.
and may be he will qnit of his own accord, after
while" If Wilder could not command suitable
language to request Hayes to quit, he should have
kept still until he got ready to quit of his own
accord.

uove I'm the Right Direction.

W. ar. clad TO know that q beginning has
-, -, IN CougreSs TO recall ihe blow delt at
the country press by the last Congress- Weiearn
fror, ,riyate source, which deem reliable,
that last week, at the first meeting of the Com
uittse on Post Offices and Post Roads of the
House. Congressman Cobb, of Kansas, opened the
hall by moving the reference of all bills relating
tn the franking privilege to a subcommittee,
consisting of the Chairman, Mr.. Packer, of Penn
,ylyauia, Mr.. Pope, of California, and Mr.. Ran
dali, of Pennsylvania, with instructions to pre-
mare a substitute embracing three propositions,
viz:
1st. A section providing for the free circulation
through the mails of all matter printed by an
thority of Congress; this section to be carefully
guarded so as to operate solely in the interest Of
the people.
Cd. section providing for the circulation Of
weekly newspapers through mails in the County
where published.
Sd. free exchange list between newspapers
The proposition, we believe, passed the Com
mite by a unanimous vote, and q bill of this
character will probably soon be reported to the
House.
From the fact that no public parade has been
made of this action, we infer that the Committee
are in earnest, without any buncOmbe. We al
ways have held, that information for the people
from Congress should 60 postage free. 1t is for
the pnblic interest, and if subjected to postage,
the public must pay it in the end.
Now, let the country press, not only of Kan
sas, but of the whole country, speak ont, and
mite in calling for the passage of this law. Let
us sustain our Congressman, and let him know
that he is representing the wishes of his constit
uents. The country press wants this law, and
the people want it. The city press, which has
but little to gain by free circulation of weekly
papers in the Counties where published, are clam
orous for retaining the law as il now stands, and
they wish to make Congress believe that they re-
feet public sentiment. There are rare instances
in which country papers unite with the city dai-
lies on this question; but they do in order to
affect self-saCriacing patriotism, and profound
wisdom in political economy. The country pa
psr enjoys but local circulation. This city mo-
poPolies, by using matter that has once been
paid for in daily, can afford to take less price
than that of the country paper. Then, If they
can force the home reader TO pay the same post
age for his County paper, that ne pays for the
concern from abroad, the country pa
per must suffer.
Let every country paper in Kansas aud every
other State speak ont on this subject, and see
whether Congress will listen to the voice of their
or to the dictation of monopolies
located In the large cities.

aINPoRrAST, IL TRUE."-The Leayenworth
Tfmes publishes dOuble-leaded leader, stating
that il has authentic information in substaee
that Senator Pomeroy has made an affidavit,
which will soon be made public, to the effect
that United States District Attorney Scofield had
received consideration, or agreed for n consd-
eration to prevent the prosecution Of his case-or
words to that effect. This statement is rather
ganze-like. Pomeroy is hardly fool enough to
make affidavit that he or his friends have bribcl
an officer to prevent his prosecution for felony.
Besides Scoiield has voice in the matter. As
Thomas Ryan, County Attorney for Shawnee
County, is Scofelds deputy. the force of this
charge comes against him, as being tool, or
party to the corruption.
In this connection, comes another report that
Pomeroy is about to publish history or expos
ure of the political plots and corrupiions known
to him in Kansas politcs, giving names and par
ticulars in every transaction. Neither do VIC be-
lieve this. Some of the men most intimately
connected with him in his secret operations. have
remained true tn him to tho last and do not be-
leve that he would betray and sacrifice them for
revenge, to create n sensation. But if he skoHld
unbosum himself. Wouldn't there be fun. Would
not some pure and righteous men, who have
been raising their holy voices against corruption,
crying aloud and sparing not, stand revealed in
all their native ugliness, with their filthy sores
and rottrnness exposed To to the public gaze
Wouldn't folks who have loved to scandal
ize their nrighl'ors anl chew over every harni-

- The Atchison Patriot is fair specimen Of
the Democratic howlers against Radical official
rascality. When Auditor Wilder published his
Report, sparing neither political friend nor foe,
the Patriot, instead Of commencing an act which
it had been loudly demanding, jumped to the de-
fence of Ex-Auditor Thoman, who belongs to its
party. While it was doing this, Thoman acknowl-
edged the trnth of the charge, by disgorcinr the
amount of money which it was reported he had

DELAHAY REsTGSED-It is stated posi-
lively that Judge Delahay has sent his resigna-
tion to Washington, to take effect Immediately,
or in January, rs the exegencies of the impeach-
ment case may demand or allow. The candidates
for the vacancy are, of course, numerous; but
the most prominent are Judge Kingman, Judge
Horton, and Congressman Lowe. 1t is also said
that Senators Ingalls, and Crozier are candidates.
We had supposed that Ingalls, was now in the
position that suited him above all others. He
certainly takes hold if he liked the business,
and bids fair to take prominent position in the
Senate. Lowe is in bad olor with large por-
tion of the people of Kansas, on account of the
back pay business. The other gentlemen NAM
ed are all well qualified, and either of them
would fill the position ably. meeting of men,
