VALE, POMEROY

Land stealing Pomeroy, of E.nsas, of
Infamous memory, who has held seat in
the United States Senate since the ad-
mission of that State into the Union, has
at last come to grief in the house of his
friends. The Caldwell investigation
having already brought scandal and dis
grace upon that commonwealth by an
expose of bribery and corruption, resorted
to by him 10 secure his election, with the
probability that he will be expelled from
the Senate, put the present Legislature
Of Kansas in bad temper to stand any
experiments in the old line of bargain
and sale, SO long and successfully prac-
ticed IN that State. When it was found
that old Pomeroy was on the buy con-
spiracy was put on foot to entrap him
which proved eminently successful and
resulted in lis disastrous defeat, covered
with infamy and lasting disgrace. State
Senator York was the person put forward
to sail himself to Pomeroy and who de-
manded and received the snug little sum
of $4,000 for his vote Before the vote
was taken, however, York rose in his
place and announced that he had re-
ceived the above sum from Pomeroy for
his vote and walked forward to the
Speakers stand and deposited the pack
ages OF money as the price of his vote.
An immense sensation was created in
the body, and when the vote was taken
1t resulted: John ingalls,, lis; 16 scat
tering, and none for Pomeroy. The
State of Kansas has done itself infinite
credit by casting overheard this notori-
ously corrupt old political harlot, and it
is to be hoped the good example she has
set will be followed generally throughout
the States in future, and that all at
tempts by inscriptions men to bride
their way into high places may meet
n similar fate.

NAVAL WARFARE The commander of

NAVAL WARFARE The commander of
the forces now operating in the field has
determined to construct few ironcads
to operate on the lake side of the lava
bed fertilization occupied by the Modocs
1t is expected by this means to guard the
water front Of the lake from which the
savages draw their supply of the thirst
quenching beverage, and thus bring
them to terms of capitulation for want of
the necessary supply Of the irrigating
fluid. As it will take until some time in
the summer or autumn of this year to
complete bullet-proof floating batteries
which will protect their occupants from
the deadly aim of ambushed warriors
along the banks of the lake we may
fairly estimate that the Modoc war will
run through the next year, at least, if
not longer. Huzza for the Government
