A dozen armed warriors tfaversed the

From the O.athe New. LetterI

The appointment Of Robert Crozier as L..
5. Senator, to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the resignation Of Caldwell, regarded by the
press and the better class of citizens through
out the State as a great calamity, and Gov.
Osborn il justly censured for making an az :
pointment wholly to subserve the interests
Of one Of the most obnoxious rings which
ever figured in Kansas politics. The ap-
pointment was no doubt made to adva CO
the selfish interests of Thos. A. Osborn, but
in thus yielding to the "ring" we think our
Executive made most fatal mistake. and
has recklessiy thrown away all chance ofever
becoming L. S. Senator.

From the Pao'a Spirit.

Gov. Osborn's appointment of Judge Gro
zier to the vacant United States Ssnatorship
does not give very good satisfaction to the
people and press of the State. In our opin-
ion he has committed two very grave mis-
takes: l. In filling the vacancy at all. Q

that he failed to select somebody who was in
hearty sympathy with the farmers Of the

pxEAlDEal's MESSAGE.
We present our readers this morning VII
n. full text of President Grants message
co..rsa hs the most complete paper
-. L;od that ever enanated from Presiden
Grant. and il no.ably longer than any OF HI
previous messages.
The President deals With the Spanish si;"i
ton briea '. but comprehen-ively and Vigor
,,J- He recites the fact that the steamel
y;,.;n;u, cleared from an American port u
A American ship, and WIS captured on The
h;sh s..s BY Spanish vessel. Instant de-
u.nds for explanation and reparaiion were
-,de upon Spain, aud the demands which
i.cluded the surrender Of the Virgin'us. and
the survivors Of her crew we're acceded to oy
she Spanish Government. The President ad'
he.e, to the belief that the existence Of ARR
can slavery in Cuba causes the lamentabIe
co.di,ioo of the leland. Regarding amend
...... 10 the constitution Of
sh. limited State-, he comedies the
.ec.uity of some change in the plan Of
.l.cs;ng President and Vice President, and
sueresss that the Chief Executive should Re
clothed with the power to approve OF 40
much of any measure passing the Two
HOUSE. of Congress. as his judgment may
dictate. without the approval OF all. We
c,a zee many good reasons for the Presi-
deot's recommendation in this respect.
No little space in the message Is given to
the consideration OF financial questions, and
While the President submits various plans for
relieving the country, and adds several i'm
por.ant suggestions, it can hardly he said
shst he recommends any j, fnitely shaped or
ma:ured measure Of relief. He recognizes
one all important fact in this sentence:
.'Suiiicient currency is required to keep all
de industries of the country employed;
without this individual bankruptcy must
oue." His reasoning in general favors
6exible currency. This He1ibility, he
thinks, could be given to it by permitting
N.tio,al banks to convert Government bonds
into currency, and currency into bonds
At will, providing only that the banks for
felt 70 The Government 4 certain per cent.
on the interest accruing on the bonds
pledged, during the time they remained in
In the Treasury Ne securities. The President
mentions some Of the causes of the scarcity
of currency, bat holds that the great increase
of population, building OF railroads, devel-
upuent of agricultural regions, and the
establishment of numerous manufacturing
euserprises in all parts Of the country, have
made legitimate demands for greater vol
ume of currency. The President seems to
look upon the resumption of specie payments
n the surest way cat Of ill our financial
hsrdships, and believes the recent panic 10
uesey circles was long step in that direc-
ton.
The President in discussing Indian affairs,
announces thai the policy previously pursued
b the Administration will he continued.
The mesage throughout il marked BY
noder,iion in tone and dignity OF expression.
Il Riv0 evidence of careful thought in its
pesparsiion, and is fully up to the standard
a like documents from President Grants

However, it cannot be denied that in the
appointment of Crozier the Governor has
lost strength. Crozier was Caldwell's attor-
ney, took an active part in his election, and
will be held by the people and the independ-
ent press az responsible and equally guilty
by association.

From the wyandotte Gazette.

Whether the Governor has succeeded in
making a good fcaneial speculation out OF
the appointment may never be known with
certainty to the general public. 1t is toll
erably sure, however, that in the way OF
political influence, he has lost rather than
gained.

[Erom the Solomon CITY MANILA

Gov. Osborn has appointed Hon. Robert
CrCzer United States Senator in place OF
Alexander Caldwell, resigned. We know
very little about the man, and therefore will
not "slobber over him." or "resile'' him
until his actions shall call for one or the
other. The principal notoriety he has
achieved in these latter days has been in be-
ing warm friend and supporter OF Caldwell.
This fact alone will make the appointment
very unacceptable to the people Of this State;
but as long as the people elect such men As
Osborn to important positions they need not
expect their wishes to be consulted.
