That Alexander Hamilton was an old fool.
That Daniel Webster an old fool.
That General jackson, Lewis Cass. Tom Jeffer-

statesmen of the past knew nothing whatever
aIrnnt the first principles of finance.
That Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, Prleg

That Charles Sumner, Charles Francis Adams,
aud William Pitt Fessentlen knew nothing Of

That all the scientific writer's on finance, Adam

did not understand the question upon which they
wrote.
That Senators Lagan, Ferry. Morton and Bngy

II is the mast astonishing result ever arrived

DISTRICT INsT1rrTE.-The District Teachers
Institute is being held at Atchison, this week,
and it was arranged TO hold the Doniphan Conn
~ Institute in connection with it. The Atciii-
son Patriot feels that the city has been very
much seandalzel by the failure to make any
preparation for the Institute. We know that
teachers in this County were in anxious search
for information as TO the arrangements for the
Institute; bnt beyond vague report that such
an Institute would be held sometime during this
month, they conld learn nothing.
Which moves rs to say: Are Teachers lnsti-
tutes, rs conducted in Kansas, of any earthly CT
unearthly usei Are they not a vast" OF time,
money, trouble, patience, and good natures
And II the law requires that they shall be held,
why not make provision to pay for themi OF, u
| teachers continue to draw their regular pay
while in attendance. why not let them pay their
way, instead of carrying them on by system oi
forsging and sponging, and qnarteing lot oi
strangers upon the citizens of town, who are
perhaps lily prepared to entertain them, but
must do 50 in order to escape the reputation oi
being stingy and inhospitable! What with
General Conferences, Quarterly Conferences, pro-
tracted meetings, two days meetings, big meet

good chance to he "ratcn out of house and
home and to realize the Justice of the Consti'
tutional provision pruhibiting standing armies
from being quartercd upon citizens.
We have always advocated a liberal school
| tax and good nay for teaeliers- We also adv0-
cate the abolition Of saca Teachers Institutes as
are held in Kansas, the right of teachers ia
pay their way while attending them When
people have paid their school Tax, they shonid

About Kansas Newspapers.

Newspapers published IN Kansas, with few ex-
ceptions, are party papers. They go with the
party and advocate its principles aud its men for
Office with little independence of thought OF ac-
tion. As general thing, Kansas newspapers
are as corrupt Kansas politicians are said To
be- Lately, the people of the State, longing for
q different channel of thought. have, with in
creased eagerness, looked tn Eastern papers and
Eastern documents for reading matter. The few
independent and manly organs in the State have
not been able to keep up with the demand for
that sort of reading, 50 new and at the same
time so pleasing to the people. We believe the
time has comu for the people of this State to
turn their sympathy and support to the organs
here in Kansas which are laburing in their in
terest. A County organ which has had the
hood to throw of the party yoke and come ont
squarely for the people, needs all the encnur-
arement which can he bestowed upon it. Edi
tors and publishers who thonght it their duty to
90 with the people, have 4 right to expect that
the people will go with the editors and publish
er- in so far rightly sustaining an independent
journal is concerned. The way TO drive news
papers into the hands of mOnopOlies is to with
hold your support from them. The way to make
newspapers independent of monepolies is TO ell
courage them with your moral support and yOur
subscriptions. Subscriptions to County organ
barely pay for the white paper, and they are of
little value unless promptly paid. The trouble
of collection is oftentimes worth half the price of
subscription, and n publisher would rather let
the whole amount go to loss than pass through
the trouble of collecting. But what we want &c
impress upon the minds of the people now is the
necessity and the duty dovolving on them to
support the County or State organs known to be
in their interests. A Legitimate business needs
encouragement, il needs the support of its friends,
il needs steady pnsh and vigorous management
all the way through. Newspapers are not luxu-
ries; they are necessities. Ii you must have
them, you must support them in the way that
will be efficient Besides, if paper represents
faithfully sentiments enter aiiel by large class

son Tuesday" says the Osagc Mission Journal,
"these warrants were placed in the hands"f Dep
uty Riley, who proceeded at once to the resi'leacrs
of the parties, arrested them without trouble and
brought them here. Some eight or ten witnesses
are also summoned to testify in the case, and as
we go to press, "wednesday evening), their ex-
animation is still in progress before Squire Ste

The case is exciting good deal of curiosity,
and many conjectures are prevalent as to its re-
suit. We have no desire that injustice shall be
done to any one but it is to he hoped that the
will result in manner that will havea ten
drncy to suppress mob violence. That John
Pierce deserved his fate, il is generally conceded
yet the parties who strung him up had no more
legal right to do than they would have to
hang an innocent man. IL is bad precedent,

the moment, tobe regretted afterwards. The fol-

CHASTITY crime:
Last week Thursday, in the eastern portion of

unknown" corpse was found in Taeott creek, near
the residence of Mr. Olson, that bore nnmistaka-
bic evidence of murder. The body was discover

against some willows, stripped of all clothing

The body was found in fair state of preserva-
ton, and had been apparently in the water some
eight or ten days. A pair of suspendrrs were
found near where the body lay in the creek, hut

as Judge Nathan Prce.-JunetiOR City Union.
This is a mistake. Judge Price neither abused

respect. The correspondent of the Democrat, af-

Death Of a Daughter Of Thomas III.
Benton, in Paris.

Paris March lO of the New York Express
The burial services of Madame Ia Baronne
Ganldrce Boillrau, daughter of Senator Benton,
took place at ST. Philippe du Roule this morning.
Less than week ago, although ailing, she had
seen her friends, and appeared much the SAME as
usual. On Saturday evening last, an intianma
tinp, frum which she had been suffering, became
alarming in its symptoms, and on Sunday morn
ing, at o'clock, she expired while the last sac
rament of the holy communion was being ad-
mnistered to her. Friends FASTENED before dawn
ON Sunday TO the officials to try and obtain her
husbands release from the Concierge, that he
might be with her at the last, but in vain; the
weary tcdonsness of French red tape kept him
from her until all was over. Loving friends and
her dear little childreD, however, surrounded
her at the last hour.
The Baron Gauldree Boilleau, it will be rcmeni-
bered, was sentenced to three years imprison-
ment, a year since, for reasons connected with
governmental business, iu which public opinion
quite exonerated him from blame. The day he
was sentenced aud went into prison, the death
blow was given to his wife. Her proud aud no.
BILE spirit alone kept her up to do the work she
had planned to do. She has, through her sole ill.,
fueiice, obtained for her husband u reprieve. In
a few weeks he will again be free. As a soldier
who dies inst as victory crowns the struggle, has
she gone from a world that was too hard for her.
Mr. Boillgau was at the funeral with his three
little boys-all broken with their bitter grief
