From the moment when 1t was known that We
had gone to Washington. tn testify in the Caid-
well case, general hurrah went mp from our
warm admirers in divers nooks and corners Of the
County, Now the rascal WAS caught, and they
wouli glory in their revenge. The counters of
..wholrsale groceries" were lined with anxioas
prophets and expsuuders of law, who, while ru :
bling the most delicate l.ortions Of their persons
over the tables, rendering them dainty for the
reception of dried beef, cheese aud crackers cast
their shadows the shirt-tails full Of goods
yroaning the shelves. They squirfesi tobacco
spit upon the stoves, and planned ont how we
would e sent To prison. and then lie sued f"r the
recovery of that $1,000 utterly running and bank
rupting us. The Troy RepHbiieam fairly howied'
filling its columns with Caldwell. talking "f pun

persons iu Doniphan County (meanins oursclf)
would be exposed.
Well. We have been there. We met one pack
of liars face tn face, and waited q week for an

DELAIIAY.-It is now reported that Congress
will take no action upon the Dclahay iinpeach-
ment, as he has placed his resignation in the
hands of friend, and they prefer to let him
quietly resign. Isn't that trick rather thin to
brmboozle members of Congress: He has played
that game once or twice heretofore. Once lie
placed his resignation in the hands of a friend,
when the Legislature was about to investigate
his ease preparatory 10 asking for his inpeael-
ment; hut as soon the Legislature adjourned,
his obliging friend handed the document back to
him. Now he tries il "n Congress; and if that
bo,ly let, tire ith aia;Srch pass without closing
the ease, the friend will again part with the
precious document, and Dc!alay will stick t" the
Jud.eship.

CIArTRAP.-In the excitement attendant upon
the York exposure in the Legislature, Col. Veale,
after protesting his own innocence of bribery,
and Indignantly washing his hands Of the whole
affair, proceeded to offer resolution, declaring
Caldwell gulty. and demanding his immediate
resignation. The only wonder is, that in the
heat OF excitement IL did not carry, hut was ia
bl-d. Neelaring man gnilty while his trial was
vet in progress and demanding his punishment
before conviction, was too much even for that ex-
cited body.
Col. Veale is in the habit Of procaiming his
own purity and washing his hands upon every lit
tie provocation, when it would seem entirely gn-
necessary. Indeed, it is calculated to impress q
stranger with the Sotion that there must be some
dirt on hands that necd much Washing The
man must possess mt only purity, hat Christian
charity, who. when his own favorite is exposed,
proceeds to declare everybody else guilty, and
demand their immediate punishment.
From the part that Hamnalliis converts have
played in this Senatorial business, We think it
about the time the great yowleE came around
again with his sqnirt-gun, and gave his subjects
another injection.

Republican members of Congress, is Don Piatt.
He writes severe things, and funny things, apd
epita,,hs, and all that. on the subject. Rascal.

not got off lot of good things at the expense Of
his nephew, Gen. Ben. Piatt Runkle. who has
recently been disgraced from his command, fined
$, 600, and sentenced to the penitentary for four
years. faE swtndling eolored soldiers-yes, for

As WE ExpECTED.-Ths first batch of York's
testimony before the investigating committee has
been published The statement was wruns from
him, that he had previously had corrupt dealings
with Pomeroy. He had been to Washington, to
secure the removal Of Lanl Office to lndepen-
tlenee, and black -mailesl Pomeroy into securing
the removal, by obtaining and threatening to pub
ish certain obscene affidavits. After securing the
Land Office, according to his story, the people Of
the successful town elected him to the Legislature,
with instructions to vote against the man to
whom they owed their success. As further evi-
dence of good faith, he then permitted the affida-
Wits to be published. Then Pomeroy agreed to
buy his vote. and gave him $4,000. This sum was
sufficient for the purpose of exposure, but he
hung on till he got 5000 more. He demanded
$4,000, which he did not gct-then he exposed
Pomeroy!
In his celebrated speech, he asserted that Pon,e-
roy had given him the names of members whom
he had bought, which names ne would divulse to
an investigating committee. The committee de-
Inantled the names, when he confessed that
Pomeroy had not given him any-that he got
excited and didn't know what he was saying!
Is not the dog hair already showing itself!

NAsBY.-Happening in Toledo, the other day,
and having several hours to spare, we hunted up
our old friend, Charley Lorenz. who took us
around to the Blade office, and gave an introtuc-
tion to Mr.. Lscke, the famons .Nasby" Of rpistol-
airy fame, with whom We took glass Of beer. and
interviewed his Office. The Blade has m i'm
mense circulation, attained chiefly by reason of
Nashy's connection with it. Three or fur clerks
are constantly employed booking the names Of
subscribers ~ they come in; and five or six print
ers, in putting the names in type, for the mail
lists. Nasby is an enthusiast on the subject Of
power presses, and has number Of them in his
office. The coming season, magnificent new
Office will bc built expressly for the Blade, where
she can spread herself. Besides the Blade, the
firm publish . monthly magazine and an asri-
cultural paper, print Masical monthly for an
other publisher. and do an extensive business in
job printing.
Speaking Of c harley l.orenz. We must not neglect
to say that the Perfnmatory Of the Lorenz Broth-
ers is one of the institutions Of Toledo. They
manufacture perfnmery Of every divription. equal
to the imported article, and sell extensively IN
every part Of the country. They presented us
with enough samples Of their goods to set MP a
gOosl-sized psrfumery store.

Probably no Senator was ever elected, who
went to Washington more free and untramellesi,
and more clear of all combinations and alliances,
than will John J. Ingalls,. He WAS taken
mp almost spontaneously, and elected without
promises or pledges. He had no occasion to
spend cent VI money to secure his election, and
is under obligation to give no maa an Office. He
goes with his skirts clear, and his mind and con-
science free.
Mr.. Ingalls, is man of brilliant talents, q sound
lawyer, and an eloquent and effective speaker.
He came tO Kansas young and poor, and has ms
en- in the world honoraby and honestly. We be-
Iieve that but one mau in the State has ever
charged him with dishonest act; bat to be 80
charged by that man. Is recommendation rather
than disgrace. Mr.. Ingalls, has taken promi-
nent part in politics las held number of offices
and has several tiiscs been defeated, because he
would not pandrr to the popular excitement Of
the hour.
Mr.. Ingalls, is no hypocrite. lie can say yes
when he means yes, and no. when he means No
and whether he says yes ar mo, he can be depend
ed upon to keep his worl He has no scruple'
in speaking his mind freely upon all necessary
occasions, without r-gar,ling whether the popu
lace is with or against him.
One Of Mr.. Ingalls, strong fortes is Satire-bitts'
and keen. In fact, it has been said that, rathel
than lot slip an opportunity to indulge in sharI
remark, he would risk important advantages il
a critical cssc. II he were before the Judgment
Seat, he would be apt to hazard his chances BY
getting off keen retort upon the Archange
Michael, by asking him how he left his folks il
Ireland, or whether he considered birthstone pref
cradle to peat for fuel!
When ingalls, gets rightly fitted to his seat il
the Senate, he will be hear,l fron, and will wake
the old stagers with sallies that will carry thei
memories back to the days Of John Randolph.

"IF."-A report has been circulated. that SEN
ators ut Washington hal declarrd that Ingalls,
could not have his seat, but that the question Of
the Senatorship would he sent hack to the Legis-
latnrr. 1t 10 hardly necessary {" say that Sena-
tons do not indulge in sneh rnn'i"u assertions.
Pomeroy's friends at Washington denied that
bribery was attempted, Int that the whole thing
was trick, manufactured frum the foundation,
to carry the Legislature by storm. before the
members could take sobrr second Thought We
understand that several Senators remarked that
If such were the fact, and Jit was found that In

he would be rejected by the Senate. There are
several small but tougIl ifs" to overcome in the
matter. II Ingalls, lives, he will very probably
occupy a seat in the Senate for six years. And
it is quite likely that hc will live for lr is from
