WAVING A FLAG.-We recolIect, when Andy
johnson was swinging around the circle" in
the Fall of lo66, Nasty told a story Of one
town at which the President and his party arriv-
ed, where they were met by man on the plat
form, who was vigorously swinging flag. Up
on inquiry to the cause of his exertions he in-
formed the party that he was committee to re-
ceive the President. Surprise was expressed
that committee of only one should have been
appointed, TO which the individual replied, that
nineteen Others had been appointed ON the com
mittee with him; but since the appointments
had been made, he had received the Post Office at
that town, and the other nineteen thereupon
swore that they didn't give d-n for johnson
or his policy, and refused to come out.
We notice that the editor of the Leavenworth
Times is now vigorously swinging the flag of Col.
Phillips, and considers no other man fit to be re-
turned to Congress. When we consider that the
editor of the Times has just been appointed Post
master through the influence of Phillips, the thing
all looks clear; and we guess the balance of the
people of Lesvenworth little about Phil
lips as did the other nineteen committeeman
about Andy johnson.

INDEPENDENT STATE CONFERENCE.-The call
is at length published for the Independent State
Convention, to meet at Topeka, on the first day
of August, for the purpose of nominating full
State ticket and three members of Congress.
Each Representative District is entitled to send
three Delegates.
The petition or call for this Convention has
been in circulation for some time, aud they have
managed to secure the names of just ITO persons.
Very many of these names are strange to MS. A
large majority of those whom we know, are old
Democrats, and the balance Liberals of two years
ago. We find such names as G. W. Click, Nelson
Abbott, Il. d Morris, w. n. Allen, Isaac E. Eaton
r. c. Foster, Isaac Sharp, J. Z. Taylor, W. G.
Sargent, et aL-Democrats from the time of the
food; and it is fair tOprcsume that the unknown
are of a sameness.
The names from Doniphan County are l. N
Smallwood, J. NJ johnson, T. Vanderslice, w.
d. Rippey, S. w. Hinckley, W. Gilmore, Samuel
Fenton. A Democrat tells us that he thinks at
least portion of these names were put there
without their consent. This seems probable from
the fact that most of the names are wrongly
spelled.
But, take il all in all, it is about the same old
thing it has always been. They were badly beat
en- as Democrats still worse as Liberal Repub-
licans; and it is hardly probable that the people
Of Kansas will have any use for them as Reform,
ers or Independents. The Republicans will have
10 run the machine awhile longer.

THE Pope EXPELLED FROM THE FREEMAsoNs.
AT the semi.annual meeting of the Grand
Lodge of Masons, Scottish Rite of the Orient of
Palermo, Italy, on the 9th of March last, Pope
Plus TX. was expelled from the order. The de-
cree of expulsion was published in the official
Masonic paper at Cologne, Germany, and is pre-
ceded by the minutes of the lodge in which lie
was initiated, and is follows:
"A man named Mastai Ferretti, who received
the baptism of Freemasonry, and solemny
pledged his love and fellowship, and who after
wards was crowned Pope and King. under the
title of Pho Nino, has now cursed his former
brethren and communicated all members of the
order of PreemasOns.> Therefore, said Mastai
Ferretti is herewith; by decree of the Grand
Lodge of the Orient, Palermo, expelled from the
order for perjury"
The charges against him were first preferred
in his lodge at Palermo, in 1866 and uotiica iion
and copy thereof sent to him, with request to
attend the lodge for the purpose of answering the
same. To this he made no reply. aud, for divers
reasons, the charges were not pressed until he
urged the bishops of Brazil so aggressIvely to-
wards the Freemasons. Then they were pressed,
and, after regular trial decree OF expulsion
was entered and published, the same being signed
by Victor Emmanuel, king IF Italy. aud grand
master of the Orient of Italy.-Erom the Toice of
Masonry.

BH. MCECKRON-A few weeks since, in re
ferinC to the Commonwealth "setting up of Cal
win Reasoner, a political shyster, who would go
with any party or faction that would give him
an Office, we expressed the opinion that b. II.
McEckron. late Speaker of the House, should he
placed in the same category. When we note the
article we firmly believed, as, III tact, we had De-
lieved ever since the contest for the speakershiP
last Winter. that McEckron had pandered to what
was called the ''Reform" element in the Legisla-
ture, and had made pledges to them IN order 10
secure his election; and that if this element had
given healthy promise for the future, he would
have staid with it. 1t is probable that we wrong
ed him, We recently received letter from q
warm personal friend of his, assuring us that we
did him Injustice and that he is one of the most
earnest Republicans in the State. And now We
have received long letter from McEckron him
self 1--WE trust he will not regard it as aviolaton
of his injunction of privacy, if we mention it in
order to set him right) in which ho gives full
history of the Speakership contest, his position,
his actions throughout, and his course as Speaker.
He makes ont good case for himself, and we
have no evidence to show that it is untrue, we
accept it as correct. He concludes by saying
that he is poor man, aspires to no Office, but
only wants to earn a living for his family; that
he was Republican when the party was first
has been ever since, and expects to be
while he lives or the party lasts.
We take it all back. As We have never heard
aught against Mr. McEckrou's personal honesty
or integuity, We are glad he has sent us this ex-
PLANTATION for the party cannot afford to have
such men read or hooted out of its ranks without

Dry Bobs for Edwin Abner, d. B.

As We anticipated, Edwin Abner. Of the Brown
County Adrocate doesn't take our notice OF MIN
kindly, but comes back at us with his "sium.
What he doesn't like about it, is its truth. de
scatters badly.
Edwin Abuer speaks of the hundreds of pages
of manuscript sketches he furnished for us, and
never got any reward. What reward did the
man get from whom sou pilfered theIn'
Edwin Abuer says: ave have done many IA
yors for this man Miller, aud have letters in our
possession to prove that those favors were ac-
knowledged by him at varions times" Haven't
YOU got any of our letters your possession that
do not especially acknowledge favorsi We think
we have some of yours that would show where
the favors come in.
When Edwin Abner tells of the sketches which
he furnished us, which we thought SO good, why
doesn't lie tell it alli We dried up on his sketch
es, when We found he was stealing them. We
thought them good for him; but for stealing, be
should have done better.
Edwin Abner, after hurting almost half a col
umn of slum" at as, asks, "Is there any plag-
iarism in the abover Well, yes, we think it
all plagiarized from somc neighboring privy.
"He glories in dirt and nastiness," says Edwin
Abner. Perhaps that is why we appreciated
those favors of yours.
"He hates every type in the 4drOcdte Office" I"
saith Edwin Abner. Yes, and one look at your
columns, with all manner Of sizes and sorts of
type jumbled together, would make any decent
printer hate them.
Edwin Abner, among other things, calls
thief. But we never stole the blanket out of a
press, TO make us pair of breeches.
Edwin AJner says wrote him letters ac-
knowledging the great favors he did us; and
then he says we made an unjustiiable and I'M
called for attack upon him, in order to crafty
personal spite. Edwin Abner, to explain away
any little seeming inconsistency in these state
ments, please give us your idea of any cause for
personal spite which we may harbor against one
who has done SO much to favor us.
In the long array of names of persons whom
Edwin Abner says we have black mailed, he can
not point to whom we ever "tcatl- beat" ont
of so for the relief of some one about to be con-
fined.
In your next, Edwin Abner. give us your mat
rimonial experience at Nebraska City, in 1868.
See if it will agree with the little sketch that we
can give.

~ State Printer Martin has sent us copy
of the proceedings of the Court of impeachment
in the case of Treasurer Hayes. 1t makes book
of S52 pages, 113 of which is a record of the pay
ment of the Price Raid Scrip. The volume con-
tains the report of the Legislative Committee,
the testimony taken by it, the articles of i'm
parchment, the proceedings of the Senate when
convened as q court, and the evidence taken in
New York. Ii is by no means certain that the
sMount expended in the publication of these
proceedings was money thrown away. 1t is
quite probable that good many items will be
fSHSd in it that will benefit the public.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.-We call attention
to the advertisement of the opening of the Fall
term of the Kansas State Agricultural College,
in this paper. To those who have known the
Agricultural College only as a fraud and an i'm
position upon the State, it may be well to ex-
plain, that the College is now under new man
agement and system. The fight was long and
bitter, but the right triumphed, and henceforth
the College will be what its name signifies, aud
will be credit and an honor to the State Far
mers may send their sons, with the full assur-
ance that Justice will be done them.
