with his daughter, a little girl about seven
years of age, in his arms, apparently to
show her the sunset, and probably wish
ing to witness the conflict of the wind
and waves. He was standing in the
waist of the ship, when Seaton, who was
passing forward, was thrown against
him by lurch Of the vessel, and both
fell to the deck. The captain sprang up
Immediately, and calling him clumsy
land-lubber, seized n ropes end and
struck him across the face. The little
girl had scrambled to her feet, and was
clinging in self-possessed manner
enough to the taffrail. Seaton was pale
with rage. 1t has often been observed
that men who are If quiet, unpug-
nacious mind are the most terrible in
action when driven to desperation.
Seaton, small and weak as he was,
sprang for the captains throat and bore
him back upon the deck, holding him
there with the grip of maniac. A
sailor, seeing the position of the captain,
ran up and dragged off his assailant,
who struggled for few minutes to free
himself, and then stood quiet and pant
ing. The captain staggered to his feet,
and drew knife. Seeing that Seaton
was likely to be stabbed as he held him,
the sailor allowed him to slip from his
grasp. But, to his surprise, the en-
ragged man, instead of retreating, leaped
to one side, and, avoiding the captain,
seized the little girl, and ran with her
astern as far as the quarter deck. Then,
turning, he shouted Snow, captain,
am going under the keel once more-I
and Mary" As he said this, he leaped
with the child over the side, just in time
TO escape the grasp of the now terror
stricken father. In moment the two |
rose, struggling on the crest of wave,

lad elapsed before the vessel was
brought into the wind, and by that time

beyond all human interference, even if
lie had been able to swim, and had de-
ired to be rescued. AS it was, they
lad been seen but once or twice as they
we're borne upward on huge waves, and
hen disappeared forever from the
nxious eyes of the Mortified father
nd the crew. Soon afterward the
lother came rushing OH deck but too
lte to catch even glimpse of her
child.
Seatons revenge, if indeed his crime
as not the action of one who had been
riven to maniac, by his wrongs, was
, complete as he could have desired.

ABOUT BRIBERY.-The Repabticdn, with its us-
ual truth and knowledge Of the subject, says we
had to Je bribed on the County Seat question.
For infor nation, we refer the editors of the Re-
publican to Fl. C. Hawkins and Charles Rappelye,
both particular friends Of their paper, and whose
word they cannot dispute. We received not
cent from Troy, except for printing done-not edit
orials written by ourself but extra printing. Mr.
Hawkins made the arrangement with MS, and
paid us every dollar of money We received And
this arrangement was not made until we had dis
tnctly and unequivocally taken sides with Troy.
Our first communication the County Seat
question was with Mr.. Raprelye, to whom We
stated that we were in favor of Troy, first, last,
and all the tme-and this was before receiving
any promises of patronage or anything else.
of course, you will not ask Hawkins and Rap
pelye; or if you do, you viii not tell the people
what they say. You prefer to lie upon and scan
dalize men who stood by Troy when she needed
help, because they will not stand back for you,
who have come in after the heat and burden are
past, and let you lick up the gravy.

w The last Republican makes long -winded
aud labored effort to creep out of its attempt to
dictate to the farmers and To saddle it npon u.s. rs
usual In our article exposing the Repsbliodns
scheme, We did not say word of what the Chief
would do We said the farmers would find
enough help outside Of their organizations, to
carry them through. So that the Republican has
had all it's bother for nothing. The farmers
thoroughly understand and appreciate the im-
piled threat of the RepmbIicaa- One of the speak
ers on Saturday, gave it pretty hard dab, when
be alluded to a certain local paper that had as
serted that the farmers were only one-seveuth
of the population, and eudeavored to intimidate
them with the threat that they could not carry
an election without the help Of the political
tricksters who claim to carry the vote of the
County in their breeches pockets. That was
lick right between the eyes, and We hope to see
more of them dealt square from the shoulder.

y An anxious inquirer in natural history, wants
to know why the distinction in the terms neigh
ing, lowing, and braying, as applied to animal
sounds. We suppose it is because the sounds
have different Specifications Let us take hu-
man illustration. Say, for example, there is the
"sole Representative" of Kansas in the Lower
House of Congress. When he voted against the
insertion of the salary grab in the appropriation
bill, that was Naying. When he voted for the
Biif with the item inserted. and then took his
share of the grab, that was Loweing. And when
his Postnsasters and retsiners bawl out against
those who denounce him for his course, that is
Braying.

trasts them with ours. We know that one of
the editors Of the Leader did good service in the
army, for he has told US of it himself. According
to his statement, as TO the length of time he was
engaged in the different branches Of service, the
rebellion lasted about fifteen years; and adding
his other adventures and exploits, he is at least
three hundred and fifty years old. But exper-
ienee has demonstrated that some men who went

MARX THE SNEAKs The White ClOnd Leader,
while assuming to be the organ of the farmers
movement in this County, is the inouth-piece,
the groom and beslaverer of the clique heaced
by Hon. NJ b. Bowers who soted in the Legisla-
ture, (and afterwards boasted Of it,) for the ex-
emption of mortgages from taxation-the worst
law for the farmers that was ever enacted in the
State. 1t was designed to exempt capitalists and
wealthy moneyed corporations fran taxes, thus
throwing an additional burden on the farmers.
While the capitalist holds the farmers land in
his grasp, at q ruinous rate of interest, the far
mer has to pay double on that same land, to make
up for the exemption of the man who holds the
mortgage. The LeGd.r has never denounced this
vote of Bowers, and dare not do it. 1t fills its
columns with long winded essays on the trans
portation question in Illinois, and with bosh to
humbug the farmers, while putting and trucking
to the NEIL W ho have dealt the heaviest blows to
the farmers of Kansas that they have ever re-
ceived. Come out, you dirty, sneaking fraud,
and show your hands on questions that concern
the farmers of Dopiphan County, before slipping
around and begging their support, upon the plea
that you are their organ.
