A CONFERENCE.-The Germantown (0.) ERde
pendent Press published at our old stamping
ground" contains this:
The Eaton Democrat The IndependeHt Pess the
best paper publisned here but fear that Bro
Gould Is little hasty in his remarks Sol Miller Of the
Kansas CHEF used be here and people thst he got
mighty good paper But IL the Democrat will only
back about ten years then Thanks for the
compliment however
1t is gratifying to have ones humble labors so
kindly remembered, after lapse Of almost twen-
ty years-labors performed when we were young
and without the experience necessary to run an
interesting newspaper But we did our "level
best" and hope that at least not all the apprec-
ative remembrance Of our efforts so long ago, are
to be attributed to the fondness with which
the mind clings to the good old days of the past.

A DIsGRACED KANsAN.-The Topeka Common
reaHh contains the following: "Cien. James G.
Blunt, VIII" is familiar by name Mt least tO every
old citizen of Kansas, is in very serious trouble.
special dispatch from Salisbury, North Caru-
lina saws that he has been convicted of cOnspira-
cy to defraud the United States out of u large
sum of money intended for the Cherokee lndi-
ans in that State. The case is one Of five years
sianding aud Blunt's connection was in having a
Iuan named Sweiland, now dead, appointed
agent IN disbursc the Indian trust fund, and in
then becoming one Of his bondsmen, when the
latter defrauded the government and the Indians
out of large part of the money entrusted to him.
The government maintained that there had been
conspiracy between Blunt and Swetland to effect
this very purpose, and the conviction of the
former has been secured, and he is in Jail in
Salisbury, awaiting sentence.
"People may remember an impndent letter
which Blunt wrote to HI race Greeley, when that
great philosopher swayed his snlsoil quill ON the
old Tribune nndisturbed by white house visions,
about this very matter. 1t was relative to an
article which appeared in the TribHnc, severely
aminadverting upon Bunt's relation To the
Cherokee trust funds. Blunts letter was rs fore
Ible M nnbushing eifr0ntery and bad grammar
could make il, aud, in snbst ance couyryed the
famous query of Tweed triumphant: what are
you going to do abont it = Several slow going
simple folks, who believe in honest methods of
getting money, albeit slow and uncertain, read
with peculiar pleasure Mr.. Greeley's terrible ex-
eorlaton Oh zen. binnt, ana u was copied all
over the country for its literary merit rs pat
tern piece Of sarcastic invectiye.
ut is not IN spirit of triumph over n fallen
man that We thus refer to this matter. nor do
We desire the self-righteous victory of printing
a moral from the fate which has overtaken Blunt.
He is a victim of the decentralization brought
abont by the war, aud even his worst enemies
VIII concede him many redeeming qualities. He
is essentially a brave man, and will not be likely
to ash any ones sympathy at this jnncture. His
conviction, however, is significant of one fact
that all attempts to make money dishonesty in
public trusts is franght with serious danger, and
that hereafter il will be profitable to be honest"
