IMPORTANT X. X. CHANGES.
Mai. Geo. III. NettIefon steps into james r.
Joys Position.

Verify, this is a world of changes. We were
yesterday informed of a change in railrOad mat
tiers that is more important, aud will affect A'ch-
isOn than any change that has yet been
male in railroad circles. We refer to the change
of James +. joy from the management of the
great lines of Western Railroads, popularity
known as the "Joy Interests" consisting of tie
Kansas City, st. Joseph & Council Bluffs Road,
the Burlington & Missouri River, the Atcbison
& Nebraska, the Leavenworth. Lawrence & Gal
weston, and the Missouri River, Fort Scott &
Gulf, and the appointment of Maj. George II.
Nettleton, the preseut General Superintendent of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, to
the position. That Maj. George II. Nettleton is
the GINNING railroad man of the West is now be-
yund the cayil of doubt His remarkable ad-
ministrations over the Hannibal & St. Joseph
and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe have made
him famous a railroad man, and the wonder
fnl forwa ard impetus given them has been credit
ed exactly where it is due, to George ii. Nettle-
ton.
Major Nettleton leaves Topeka for Chicago
the latter part of this month to accept the posi-
tion, and Mr.. C. F. Morse, the present Superin-
tendent of the Burlington d Missouri River, a
splendid railroad man, takes Maj. Nettletou's po-
sition on the A. T. & s. +. Road.
Mai. Nettleton has made hosts of friends for
himself and his road while connected with the
Santa Fe, and there none but will regret to
see him take bis departure. 15th.

Harrington on The War Path.

Harrington the "Reform" candidate for Lieu
ienant-JiOvernor, visited Ottawa recently, and
made u speech principally devoted to the abuse
of Judge Valentine. of the Supreme Court As
the Judge lives in Franklin County, and is uni
versally respected by his neighbors as a gentle
man of stainless character and fine capacities,
Harrington's TRADE did not make very favora-
BILE impression among them. But it set the Law
renee Journal TO hunting mp reason for the
wrath of the redoubtabe Harrington, and il
finds it in the second volume of Kansas Reports
Of cases in the Supreme Court. The Journal tells
the story as follows:
at seems that Harrington has a neighbor by
the name of Mills. Now Harrington and Miles
had quarrel about dog. Whether the canine
casus belli were "purp" of high degree, the re-
cords do not show. But they had fight for the
possession of the dog, in which Miles was vc,o-
rious, and bore away the animal to bis own domi-
cile. Harrington was inconsolable over the loss
of the purp. Like Rachael mourning for her
children, he refused to be cOmforted. He could
neither eat nor sleep. The vision of the lost dog
was ever before him. But as he couldn't get the
dog back, he did what he thought was the next
thing to it; he cussed his new master. He aver
red that Miles had stolen the dog. In the Ian
guage of the complaint, he said: "Miles stole my
dog. He came TO my house and stole nv dog
Miles horse-whipped me and drove my property
Off.
Miles thought this was putting the case rather
strong, and sued Harrington in the District
Court for slander. He won the case and got q
Judgment against Harrington for one dollar da-
images Harrington appealed to the Supreme
Court. The Supreme Court, however, failed to
see the question in any different light from the
Court below, and affirmed the Judgment.
So Harrington not only lost his dog and was
horse whipped, but had to nay one dollars DANA
ge for rlander:ng his neighbor, besides gpod
many other dollars in fees aud costs. (Harring-
ton VS. Miles. 2d Kansas. 4s0.)

REPREsESTAnyEs.-Count Offices generally
have no political significance, and it Is not so i'm
portant matter to carry them all. But there Is
political significance and power in the Legisla-
ture, and the Republicans should hold fast to
that. In manipulating the Peoples Convention
in this County, the Democrats have so managed
il as to secure Democratic nominees in every
District. Doniphan County does not want to be
represented by three Democrats in the House.
They are all excellent men, we admit; but on all
political questions, they would always be found
voting against the interests and measures of the
Republican party.
Important subjects of legislation will be mp,
next Winter, in which the Republican party will
be interested. Democrats are not the men to
entrust with it. Judging from the past, there
may be two or three United States Senators to
elect We do not want Democratic Senators for
Kansas There will be State Printer to elect,
1--WE shall not be a candidate,) and We do not
want to put Democrat in that place, to build
up Democratic organ off of the emoluments OF
the office, and disseminate poison at the expense
of the Treasury of Republican State.
The Democracy will try all imaginable lodges,
yielding everything else, to secure majority IN
the Legislature. Republicans, see to it that they
do not accomplish their end

The Lawrence Journal gets off the following
good one the Lawrence Tribune:
The ill-feeling which Nelius, Of the Tribune
manifests towards President Grant, is easily ac-
counted for. At the time of the Presidents re-
cent visit to Lawrence, Melius approached the
General, and drawing himself up to full height,
said: "Ah, hem, Mr.. President, my name is
Louis Melius." "Glad to see you, Mr.. Melius, y
replied the President, "bnt am sorry to say

embarrassment Of the ambitious editor was pain
full to all behOlders"

~ 1t is significant, that in eight out of every

is being set up them.

LIZZIE"
Severance, Sept 10, leTL
To the first question, we answer, that ladies
will not be allowed to vote for any Offices, unless
the law is violated. The reason why not is, that
our Constitution and laws do not give women
the right to vote; and when we, with others, Ia
bored long and hard to amesd the Constitution
SO as to give them the right, the people of the
State voted il down by an overwhelming major
ity.
To the second question, we reply: if the law
allowed women to vote for one or two officers, at
an election where number of other officers
were to be elected, the ladies would be compelled
to show their ballots, as otherwise they could
pat in q vote for the whole ticket. This would
be violation of the right of secret ballot. The
only remedy would be to have separate box for
the ladies' votes.
