OK Dr.-It is said that Gov. Osborn has taken
the Senatorial fever, and that, although he was
warmly in favor Of Caldwell's election, he would
now like to see him expelled. Among the current
stories is one that he has already made = swap
with Lieutenant-Governor Slower, by which he
is to resign the Governorship to Slower, and the
latter is to appoint him Senator; also, that the
Governor has kissed and made friends with An
thony, to keep this irst-class slanderer and CON-
mon scold from opposing him. We merely state
these as being reports; hut we would not have
thought that the Governor weuld ever knuckle
down that tight to the ground for Office.
Every Governor that Kansas has had, since
Robinson, has attempted to step out Of the Gov
ernors chair into cossre.sr she 'senate4 and
every one has not only failed, but has eternally
fattened himself in the attempt. The wrecks
piled mp ought to he canton sgainst the pres
ent Governor venturing among the breakers.

The Ner York Star. a strong Democratic paper
and bitter enemy Of Vice-Presilent Colfax. con
tans the following which is certainly of the high
est Importance, tending. as il does, to vindcate
Mr. ColfaN completely:
| In spi,e of the terrible weight Of evidence
against Mr.. Colfax, we bclieve that every fair
minded man would bcglad to some honorable
way by which the Vicc-President cond exfricatc
himself from his embarrassment. His story about
the 81 600 bill was very fishy. hut yesterday a
reporter sent to interview the Nesbtt family
about the affair. He fnnnd one of Mr.. Nesbitt's
sORs and casually remarked that "Mr. Nesbift's
name was somewhat prominently brought ont in
the newspapers, and received this reply, which
contains a somewhat important bit of testimony
in favor of Mr. Cslfax: " Yes, indeed and mhat
Mr.. Collar sdys is true for mother sdys that she
members my father telling her at the time that he had
sent that money on TO him" On mentioning this to
ex-Recoraer James NJ. Smith, that excellent Grim
nal lawyer remarked that it was most imper-
tant piece of evidence, and added that once, when
he was running for public Office, Mr.. Nesbitt,
with whom he had at that time mere bowing
acquaintance, had sent him cheek for 800 in
the same manner. Mr.. Nesbitt WAS u warm per-
sonal admirer of Mr.. Colfax.
1t was expected to have bcrn able to add the
testimony of Mrs. Nesbtt, but il could not be
procured in time for this issne. The evidence Of
the son, however, is undlenably important, If
Mrs. Nesitt should confirm his statement, it will
Ike that gross injustice has been done to one
part of Mr.. Colfax's defense.
THE POLITICAL SPY.-Macanly, in his famous
essay "Barere's Memoirs" thus sketches the
Political Spy:
at is calling unknown in our country.
To this vocation, vocation compared with
which the life of a beggar, of a pickpOckrt, Of
pimp, is honorable. did Barere now descend.
1t has, indeed, often h.fsprned in England that
a plot has been revealed to the government by
one of the conspirators. The informer has some
times been directed to carry il fair towards his
accomplices, and to let the evil design come to
full maturity. As as his work is done, he is
generally snatched from public gaze anil sent to
some obscure village or to some remote colony,
The use of spies, even to this extent, is in the
highest degree unpopular in England but
political spy by profession, is a creature from
which our island is as free a. ii is from wolyes-
