"MEIN GoTT But Vas MADr'-And now the
Atehison Courier (German) dances a hornpipe on
its ear TO the time of our little Carl Schurz item
As we cannot successfully wrcstle with the Ger
man language, we are glad that it publishes this
article in English but we insist that it has no
right to misrepresent u.s. especially when it has
the exact language we used, at the head of its
article. If the editor of the Courier cannot nn-
derstand the English language, he should not at
tempt to criticse it; if he can understand it, he
should not misrepresent it. We call his atten-
tion to these words, in our article: ''He would
be almost without influence, were it not for the
singular delusion, (Which he attempts to keep
up,) that he carries the German element of
America in his breeches pocket" What is de-
lHsionf Is it fact' or is it deception, fraudl
1t is clearly the latter. 1t is because of the de-
ception, which he has done his utmost to strength
en-, that he is courted by political parties, and
given influential positions. Who, then, is the
knaye or the fool-we, who state fact, or some
excited individual, who cannot understand the
meaning Of words, or, understanding them, at
tempts to pervert their meaning, for political eff
feet! To make it so plain that we cannot be mis-
understood, we say that Carl Schurz does not
carry the German element of America in his
brecchcs pocket, but that he carries few indi-
who may be readily detected by their poking
their heads out and squawking whenever the fact
is alluded to.

GEORGE S. HILLYER.-George s. Hillyer died
suddenly, at Grasshorper Falls on the 18th iust-'
aged about IS years. AR. Hillyer was one of the
pioneers of Kansas, aud was among the staunch-
est Of the Free State during the early troub-
les. He WAS elected first Auditor Of the State of
Kansas. He was of the officers entrusted
with the duty of disposing of the first State
bonds authorized by the Legislature. They
made the sale through agent, who played
sharp practice, and pocketed big pile of profits
This was the offence for which Gov. Robinson,
Auditor Hillyer and Secretary of State Robinson
were impeached; but the real object was to i'm
plicate and oust Gov. Robinson. The Governor
was acquitted by a jury of his enemies, while the
Auditor and Secretary were declared guilty, and
depOsed from office. No person, or but very few
at most, ever believed they pocketed cent at
the expense of the State; but they fell victims
to trap sprung to catch another. Secretary
died soon after-it was said, of a broken heart.
Hillyer received a small Federal appointment,
but did not retain it long. He has since lived IN
privacy, doubtless broken-spiritcd. Ii was said
that Senator Lane procured both these men their
appointments in order To atone, as far rs posi-
ble for the calamity he had brought upon them,
in his ambition to crush another; but he could
not atone for the disgrace he brought upon their
good names. They both died honest men, while
performing their duty; while the man who ruin
ed them died the death of Il suicile, during a
spell of insanity brought OH by overreachins
himself in his ambition.

parent surplus Of the approaching fruit crop-by
drying or canning. Every important suggestion
that can be made, upon either of these points,

WRONG AGAIS.-The editor of the Wathena
Reporter must be of dreadfully suspicious dis
position. He mentions that Ed. Russell passed
down the road to St. Joe, last week. without
stopping, and therefore imagines mission for
Russell, and pitches in on the strength of that
imagination. Russell, he says, was looking ont
for somebody's interest for Governor; that he
can afford to- as he is drawing a salary of So 600
r year, and his clerk $500 year, and all that
sort of thing Now, on the same day, Russell
spent an hour in our office; and if he was look
ing out for anybody's chances for Governor, he
was only looking for he said not word to us
from which we could even suspect that he was
on a political mission. Then the Reporter blum
ders on the salary matter, as badly as he does on
the other. The fact is, the last Legislature cut
off the clerks salary of the Insurance Superin-
tendent altogether, and then made no apprupri-
alton for the Superintendent's salary; that
Russell is drawing no salary of his own, to say
nothing about clerk.
It would be a nice thing TO pitch into all these
little affairs promiscously, and endways, like
hornet, if there were no facts to be taken into
consideration. Russell must stay at home!

GEN. o. o. HowARD.-Some time ago. we men,
toned the charges preferred against Gen. o. o.
Howard, of the Freedmen's Bureau, and the con-
viction in the public mind that he was guilty of
gross Irregularities in Office; and we took occa-
sion TO remark, that whenever the term Christ
ian Soldier" or christian Statesman" was ap-
piled to man, it seemed to be fixed fact that
he was a fraud. We have just received a gentle
reminder from au old and valued subscrber-one
who has always borne patiently with us when
We have been in the wrong, and who has always
endeavored to sustain his opinions by argument
and reason. This reminder is to the effect that
we have not yet done Gen. Howard Justice. We
acknowledge tine neglet-for it was only neglect
we had intended doing that very thing in our
last issue, but let it slip from our memory.
The facts, then, are, that Gen. Howard has
been carefully and fairly tried by court martial
and honorably acquitted. The Freedmen's Bu-
reau has been vast machine for man to
handle, and any discrepancies have been because
of the unwieldy and intricate machinery. But
it is fully established that Gen. Howard is free
from any corruption, dishonesty or Peculatlon in
the management of the affairs of the Bureau.

"NEw.CoNER."-The Reporter refuses to reply
to the queries of our correspondent, "New-Com-
er," unless assured that he rs a responsible per-
son. Now, if that correspondent simply asks for
plain facts, in gentlemanly manner, We cannot
see why his name is necessary TO correct answers.
But we can assure the Reporter that the writer is
a bona fde citizen of the Comfy, not residing in
or near Wathens, is no granny, is perfectly re-
sponsible, and does not often (if ever) bore the
ReDorter Office As he did not proper to give
his name to the public, and as there is nothing
personal or improper in the article, We do not
SsI autborized to disclose his secret.

GRANTS GIRL.-President Grants daughter
Nellie was marriedon the date of the last issue
Of the Chief, May 2lst, to Mr. Sartoris, an Eng
lishman-whether nObleman or not, we do not
know, but think not. We presume fault will be
found with-the President for -this but we guess
or American girl has married an Englishman,
and many an English girl has married an Amer
icau-and we suppose Nellie is no more than a
fair specimen of an American girl. Mr.. Sartoris
seems to be a modest, well-behaved Young man,
Whs has been guilty Of no foolishness or tiunkey-
ism while in this country; and there was no at
tempt at high style or aristOcratc display at the
vsidiag. Nothing has been done of which Grant
or the American people need feel ashamed, and
everybody can heartily wish the happy couple
well,
