A SAD CAsE.-Mrs. G. A. Underwood,
wife of W. D. Underwood, of Roanoke
county, Virginia, was committed to jail
at Salem last week, as a lunatic. Four
years ago, the Salem Register" says, she
was in the Staunton Asylum, having lost
her mind during the war, under the most
distressing circumstances. Her former
husband was sentenced to death for deser-
ton, and she went to Richmond and pro-
cured pardon from President Davis, but
too late, for just as she entered the camp
with the pardon, she met the firing squad
returning from her husbands execution.
She is thirty-ive years Of age, and the
mother of FIVE children.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS OF
CHIEF .IUSTICE WAITE.

Chief Justice Waite sitting in Richmond
Tuesday, with Circuit Judge Bond, made
several most important decisions -one that
the amendatory bankrupt act Of March Sd,
1873, was unconstitutional, and absolutely
void on account of it's want Of uniformity
and another that the Virginia homestead
law dates from the 9Th of July, 1869, and
that the law of Virginia allowing man
to waive his homestead exemption, is con-
stitutional and valid. In this latter decis-
ion he overrules Judge Hughes, who had
decided differently. These cases will, of
course, go to the U. S. Supreme Court on
appeal.

"LooK TO THE SENATE."-Time was, when ev
cry other hope for Justice and right was exhaust
ed, people were wont to look to the United States
Senate. Last Winter, when they had poor Cald-
well on the griddIe, roasting him, they said that
justice must be done, and purity vindicated,
even though they sacrificed one ftheir own MEN,
bers. One would think that actuated by
such high sense of justice could not descend to
things of lower grade. Attorney General Will
lians was nominated for Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court. The Senate halted and hestat-
ed, neither confirming rejecting him, until
this course strengthened the charges of the
opposition press against the nominee, that Mr..
Williams character began to suffer greatly, and
he was forced TO ask the President to withdraw
his name. Now, what does the reader suppose
it was that prompted that high and honorable
body, the American Senate, TO shily-shally as it
didi Simply this: The wife of Mr.. Williams is
handsome, smart, attractive woman, univcrs-
ally admired and popular; and the wives of a
number of the Senators aud Cabinet officers were
envious and jealous of her. They besiegel their
husbands to cut the feathers of this 'stnek-up
thing;r and the noble Senators refused their
sent to the elevation of the husband of woman
who took the shine over their wiYesi
Even at this remote day, the Administration
Of Gen. Jackson is riiiculed, b canse his Cabinet
was broken up by the quarrels between the
wives of its members; but this recent result of
petticoat whim throws that affair far in the
shade.

To "A MAN Up A TREE.-In the light of recent
events, it looks very much as if the appointment
of c. I. Scofield us United States District Attor-
ney for Kansas was made for one special object,
and the work planned ont in advance. Scofield
is no lawyer, had no character, and but little
ability-but cheek, o, Lord! He went to Nema-
ha County purposely to run for the Legislature
in Pomeroy's interest, and was elected in tlnt
interest, while protesting to be for Ingalls, Soon
after Pomeroy's defeat and arrest, Scofeld. who
had managed to vote for both Pomeroy and In
gals, was appointed U. S. District Attorney.
He then entered into compact to have the suit
against Pomeroy dismissed. For this purpose
he appointed the County Attorney of Shawnee
County his Deputy, calculating thereby to obtain
an influence over him, and virtually control the
Pomeroy case. Bat he mistook his man; and his
failure to carry ont his contract with Pomeroy,
brought on the revelations which have forced
him to resign his office without even attempting
a vindication of himself.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE.-We have been expect
ing, for long time, that the Kansas City Times
and the Atchison Patriot were going to run the
Legislature; but it promptly organized,
Tuesday, by the members elect. The men call
ing themselves "Rrformers' undertook to con-
troll the organization; but finding that their
man Potter stood not the remotest chance, they
united upon d. II. MeEckrOn, of Cloud County,
a straght-out Republican, who was elected over
a"Reformer" candidate. This was as good a
thing as the Republicans wanted, they all
went for McEckron, who was elected unanimous
ly. In his speech of thanks, on taking the Chair,
he said he always had been and was still Rad-
cal Republican, and was in favor of the great re-
forms demanded by the times-as all true Repub-
lieans arc.
For Chief Clerk, A. X. Banks, n straight-out
Republican, who had been defeated last Fall, as
Republican candidate for the Legislature, was
elected on the second ballot, in spite of an on
slaught maze upon him by Potter, the " Reform
ers'" spokesman in the House, who attempted the
"Corruption" Issue against him, but was nicely
polished off by several members. Thus the sr-
ganlzation is sOundIy Republican.
But little has been said relative to the Senator
ship; but it is safe to say that the man who will
be elected, while being alive to the honest re-
forms of the day, will be of decided and outspok-
en- Republican sntccelents.

PRETTY COOP FOR ONE TowNsHIP.-During
the last twelve years, Iwoa Township has sup
piled the Sheriff for eight years, or, when the
new Sheriif's term expires, will have furnished
the officer for ten out of fourteen years. William
ID. Beeler was elected in 1861, Is. 5. Campbell in
1867 aud 1869, Samuel Maquilken i'm 1871, and
T. J. Vanderslce in 1873. The other four years,
the incumbent was f. G. Crabb, of Troy, elected
in 1868 and 1865.
For the past eight years, Iowa Township has
furnished the Register Of Deeds-Mr. Mcintosh
having been elected from that Township.
Since 1866, Iowa Township has continually had
a member of the County Board, except during
the last two years, when Mr.. Blair was the mem-
ber. In 1863, J. II. UT; in 1865, J. p. johnson;
in 1867, J. H. UT; in 1863 C. W. Noyes; in 1873
Jesse w-Jsncs.
Iowa Township also had the Clerk Of the Dis
trict Court for two years; DIR. L. NJ. Sturgis then
n resident of that Township, having been elected
in 1864.
Joshua Taylor, of Iowa Township, was elected
Coroner in 1869, and served one term.
In the same period, Gen. John Bayless and
Rev. II. z. Robinson, of Iowa Township, held
the Office of County Superintendent of Public In
struction.
Sc it will be seen, that if Iowa is o big Town
ship, she has enjoyed her full share of the County
offices,

Chnnge of Coanty Omcers.

This week. the old set Of County officers gave
mp their places to the new. 1t is common to fiat
ter men inst coming into Puwer who have favors
to dispense; but we are sure that We can be ae-
cnsed of no selfish motive, if we also speak
word in favo. of thnse who are going out, and
who no longer have fayers 20 dispense.
The Office Of Commissioner is hard and thank
less one, with very inadequate pay. II requires
careful management to conduct the affairs of a
County properly, and then large proportion of
the people are not satisfied. MGssrs. Blair, Ran
dolph aud Steele have certainly been faithful in
the discharge of their duties, and we believe they
were always actuafed By honest motives, and a
desire to promote the best interests of the COun-
ty. They have managed carefully, and the pub
lie interests have suffered no detriment in their
hands Their succcssors Messrs. Jones, Hayton
and Kearney, are well-knOwn citizens, Of known
business qualifications, in whom the people have
the utmost confidence. But they will find they
have got into position in which their patience
will be taxed TO its utmost, and that some poo
pie will growl, do they ever so well.
DOniplan County has been fortunate in hay-
ing good Sheriffs; but The almost universal YER
dict is, that Sam. MaquilkeR has been tue best
Sheriff she has ever had. The best wish We can
offer for Tom. Vandersce is, that he may be as
efficient, and that he may escape the malicious
prosecutions with which his predecessor was pur-
sued. There is one thing which he will have to
overcome, and that win be hard with hint is
his good nature and easy disposition. Men will
come to him with wObegnne cOuntenances and
pitiful stories, which will tell terribly upon his
kindness of heart, and tempt him te forego or
postpone some unpleasant duty; but he will find
that, in niue cases out sf ten, those very men
will take advantage of his leniency, leave
him to stand the unpleasant consequences, and
perhaps will be among his Interest opponents
and traducers.
Albert Hazen is fairly installed in the Record
ers Office; aud when he gets the hang Of the
books, and his joints sufficiently limbcred from
the labors of the farm, he will no deubt fill the
bill satisfactorily. OF Mr.. Mcintosh, we can
truthfully say, that no County in Kansas ever
had more efficient Recorder. His books a
model of neatness, without blemish. Since be
came into Office, he has succeeded in establishing
a uniformity in deeds, with record books to cor
respond, rendering the work easier and pleasant
er both for those who make the deeds and for
the Recorder. IIs has indeed been model off
Ger.
The remaining officers are men who have sery-
ed in the positions heretofore, and Of course are
well broken to the business.
