Is his THE THE 10 f01SAXE TIE
REPUBLICAN, HARfYi

Tie writer, with many Others, had intend
cd /, give his support to the temperance
eau. ;. And the reason this will not be done
is the evident signs Of Life shown lately in
the South by the old serpent, rebellion, warmed
again into activity, by the apparent success
Of the Democratic party in Connecticut and
New Hampshire, where, in the former State,
an ayowed sympaihiur with the rebels was
elected to the L. S. Senate. Neither is this
all the succor they have The detection
from the Republican cause Of the New York
Tribune, Springfield Repub.ioan, and other
papers, NO doubt, lead them to sup
pose that they had a right to expect which
they get negative help. And the fruit Of
all this il, that life in no other so-called
Christian land is so unsafe as in our own
boosted md Of freedom. For proof Of this
I refer to the Cincinnati Gazette Of the sd
ultimo.
Especially, therefore, should the election
10 Congress of one, he made certain, who in
the emily DAYS Of Sc was, at the risk Of his
life, the correspondent Of the New York Iri-
bxnc. and whose Letters, more than any other
one thing, produced in the North sympathy
for Kansas, by unfolding the rascality Of the
Pro-slavery party, and thereby aided in nc
small degree the election of Lincoln.
need not say that this was w. A. Phillips
1t is true also that his opponent, Marcus ].
Parrott, was one Of the prescribed and NAL.
treated Free State men; but where is he
now. We have right to suppose that In
his change of political friends he has also
changed his political principles. 1t would
be too much to expect that Marcus J. Par
rott would consent to be elected by Demo
cratic votes, and give his support in Con
gress to Republican measures and Of thu
business that will be brought before Congress
this incipient rebellion, or "White League
will be the most important.
One word as to the opposition to W. A.
Phillips. 1t is notorious that it eminatet
in the disappointed political expectations o
certain editor, on the plea tina
Lavenworth interests would be safer in NJ
J. P's. hands than in Phillips. Yet for :
few paltry dollars he has standing adyer
tisement inducing retail purchasers of DR.,
goods to invest their money in a Kansa
City store. V.

CIRCULATE THE DOCUMENTS.

Owing t, the large demand for HE
TIMES containing the speech and letter OF Col.
Phillips on the repeal Of the salary grab
act, our edition of Sunday containing those
documents was exhausted Yesterday morn
ing, and in order to supply the demand We
reproduce both papers in this mornings issue
These documents are conclusive as to the
course pursued by Col. Phillips on this ques-
ton, and We are glad to see that our Repub-
lican friends are disposed to give them a
general circulation. They should he copied
by every Republican paper in the district.

Ruffian-Anti Slavery Rebel candidate for
Congress, is going over the district groomed
by that old law partner OF Bill Aliens
Col Isaac E. Eaton. 1t is evident that their
attempt to bolster up the Louisiana Mem

Grants order to "crush the rebellion and ne.
port afterwards" does not make many new
converts to their cause. They are, however,
backed BY all the "tripods, "quinch bugs"
and quill pushers' in the country.

WILL YOU sUrAIN THEN,

We ask those Republicans who expect TO
vote the opposition ticket this Fall, if any
such there be in Kansas, to read the record
which We publish this morning, Of few of
the outrages committed in the South by the
"White League" and let them conclude, if
they can, after reading it. that the spirit Of
rebellion is dead, or that the time has come
to abandon the Republican Party. Remem-
Der that the monsters who have committed
these outrages upon innocent women and
children in the South are all allies Of the
Democratic party, and every success achiev-
ed by the Democratic party in the North
no matter by what name the organization
may be known or under what disguise it
may act-will be accepted by these rufians
as an endorsement Of their course, and will
incite and encourage them 10 new acts Of
lawlessness and bloodshed.
The loyal people of the South, living in
daily terror of these Democratic outlaws,
look hopefully to the Republican party for
relief, and they understand that every de.
feat-of that party will strengthen and en-
holden the "Nhite League" The Demo-
cato party is the natural ally of the law
less party Of the South, and to it the White
Leaguers look for encouragement and sup
port. They know their friends; and
though policy may require the Demo.
cratic party to drop its proper name
in some States, its Southern friends do not
fail to know it in its disguise. 1t may call
itself Anti. Monopoly in Iowa, or Re
FORM in Kansas, but it is known and recog-
nized by its friends in the South rs the same
old Democratic party which aided and com.
forted them with its sympathy all through
the war, and lacked only courage enough 10
render them more substantial asistance; ii
is recognized BY them as their friend and ally
at the present time, and they will hail its
success As their success, and its victory will
be their signal for rejoicing. Republicans
who desire to hold up and strengthen the red
hands of these Southern murderers, can
End no more Elective way to do it than BY
supporting the Democratic party, no matter
under what alias it may come before the
people; those who desire 10 coademn these
acts Of lawleaneR, and teach these onflaws
Of the South that the war fer the Union was
not fought in vain, can do 70 only by stand
ing true to the Republican party.

REF0RNER ABBOTT.

The newspapers have followed up that
lottery swindle till they have brought it I'M
comfortably close to Mr. Reformer Abbott.
It is alleged that Abbott used to live in
McDonough county, Illinois, that while
there he got up lottery scheme, and that
when all the tickets were sold the drawing
didn't come of, but Abbott did-put the
money IA his pocket md came off to Kansas
to preach reform" He is a very fair spe-

builders Of the "R6orm" party.

Mr. Phillips on the " Salary Grab Law

From the Congressional Record, Dec. Is, 1873
Mr.. CoMINGO addressed the House. lie
has Withheld his remarks for revision.
Mn. ORTIZ. How much time, Mr.. Spea-
ker. have L?
The SPEAKER Twenty minutes.
Mr.. ORrH. I will yield, then, f0r five
minute, to the gentleman from kansss.
Mr.. PHILLIPS Mr.. Speaker, l desire
in very few words to ttate one or twO as
pecis Of this case ~ it prtssn.s itself to me.
This Is = peculiar measure, and it is bef-rs
the House in q peculiar p0s lion. Itis pc
culisr measure. because il is one of the very
few where the servant can "a to his master
what shall be the p,ice Of his labor. The
distinguished gentleman from Georgia Mr..
S:epheos1 yesterday intimsted that it vas

the compensaiion Of is member, and that
right was saDcti6ed In Law - we'll Is in moi

have said that, instead Of the present IL
crease, the salary ought to be $4,000 il it
we're put at whai was jurt and proper. 1t
Give when he took money from the East
Indian treasury. He vas there as the coz
querer Of India. He was there With ample
power, and yet be took only fl0 600; and
when called 10 account for il BY the British
Parliament be slid: 'Gentlemen. there
were millions there, and l had the amplest
power 70 appropriate TO myself whatever i
wanted; and am now only amazed at my
own moderation In taking what l did"
But, Mr.. Spe akeT, there must be some limit
to this, and that limit is fixed By popular
opinios. The people have al,eAdy spoken.
Where they have reposed 60 much conf
dence they expect economy snd moderation.
Bot, Mr.. speaker, this ID peculiar mta sure
for another reason. The Amerizn Congress
Glands to-day at the bar of public opinion
because Of the passage Of this bill increasing
pay. The present proportion il peculiar,
because it is not proposed TO be Pot through
the regular course. II does not 60 TO the
regular committees. II Wss put through
under whip and spur, and not With that in
vestieatiou and consideration by committees
which arc necessary for intelligent and ef-
fective Liquidation.
The Forty third Congress has inherited
this from the Forty second. and il makes
