State Treasurer.

It seems that some people are really IN earnest
in claiming that Lappiu was elected to serve
only until January, and that the TACT Oh a lew Oh
John Francis friends in Allen County having
yotsd for him. their tickets having on the words
"for the regular term" elects him for the ensu-
;ng two wears. This looks like a feeble subter-
fuye of Francis to retain the Office. II be was
party to it, it shows him to be an infinitely
smaller potato than he ever got credit for. 1t
throws in the shade his promise to accept the
"Reform" nomination, but afterwards virtuously
declining it. Attorney General Williams is quot
ed as giving his opinion that there is no doubt
of Francis being entitled to the office, by virtue
Of those few votes. Now, it is well known that
Attorney -Genral Williams is chary of giving
opinions upon legal questions even of small i'm
portance, before they submitted to him in a
lawful shape; and it is altogether improbable
that be has been deciding this important ques-
tion to the populace from the street corners.
The intentions of people who perform an act, are
generally taken into consideration, in deciding
matters connected with or arising ont of that
act. 1t is a pretty well settled fact that Lappin
was nominated for the ensuing two years. and
that the persons who voted for him, intended to
elect him for the regular term, matter if they
did not expressly say so their ballots. We
rather guess that Lappin's airy form will grace
the State Treasurer's Office during two years from
next January, John Francis little batch of "reg-
ular term" tickets to the contrary notwitbstand-

THE SPEAKERsHIP.-Varous names are being
mentioned in connection with the Speakership
of the next Kansas House of Representatives.
Some paper 1--WE do not remember what one) has
mentioned name that seems to us more fitting
for the position than any other. 1t is the vener-
able Col. ]. c. Vaughan, of Leavenworth. Ripe
in years, but with powerful mind still unim-
paired, and stored with vast amount of politi-
cal and other useful knowledge, he is one of the
foremost men in the West. He has spent long
life in opposing slavery and battling for the
principles of the Republican party-commencing
long before a Republican party was dreamed of.
Yet, while firm in his principles, he is courteous
to his opponents, and ever ready to give all sides
an impartial hearing This trait, which he pos
sesses in peculiar degree, added to his thorough
knowledge of parliamentary usage, eminently fit
him for the Speakership. With no ill feeling to-
ward the other excellent and capable gentlemen
mentioned in this connection, we think the House
would honor ITSELF and pay just tribute to a
noble veteran, by making Col. Vaughan its
Speaker.

Worse than stealing.

The little scheme (fimsy though It Wasl Oh

the former in Office for two years longer by sneak
ing trickery, was wdse than stealing Wilder
seems to be impressed with the idea that all the
official integrity in the State rests upon his
shoulders. and that his mission is to expose thiev
cry and corruption in Office; yet here is an act as
mean as any that he has attempted to expose

and the Auditor Of State conspiring against a
portion of the ticket of which he was part, and
by a little trick a supposed technicality Of law,
slyly engage in a little game, with few of
their particular friends, the fewer lest some one
should inadvertently expose the plot, attempt to
thwart the will of the Convention and of the Re-
publican party. They sought to steal the ex-
pressed will of the people at the ballot-box, and

Auditor Wilder think that as bad as stealing the

that the silly plot will amount to anything, but
it shows the disposition and intentions of the

it has seriously lowered in our estimation one

as trickster, who, from personal motives, has
undertaken to set aside the choice of the Repnb-

BEN BUTLER.-Now that Ben. Butler is defeat
ed, all the papers are having their kick at him.
Butler has his faults, and perhaps more of them
than most public men; but be also has good
points to Overbalance them. We used to dislike
Butler, but rebel hatred and abuse of him changed
our feeling. Butler has backbone, and whatever
he undertakes to do, he goes right ahead, regard
less of abuse of enemies or the approximations of
timid friends. At New Orleans, be had the nerve
TO do what no other Union officer did-to treat
the rebel women in the character their acts pro-
claimed them, and to make them toe the mark.
In Congress- in private life his course has been
right ahead, no matter what obstacles iuterposed.
He is n lire man, pushes vigorously at whatever
he undertakes, is true to his friends, and never
squats to his enemies. He is beaten, but not
dead; and those who are SO Justify growing over
him, will wake up some day, to find Butler
sstraddle of them, aud master of the situation
once more.

BUTLER SAssEs BACK.-Gen. Butler, in one of

The .Gooe OId Times,

Talking with an old Republican of the County,
not long ago, he remarked what difference there
was in the Republican party of Donipban Coun-
ty now. compared with aDte-rebellion times,
from 1851 to 1850 Then, the party always work.
ed in harmony. When a ticket was nominated,
il could be set down as fixed fact, that every
man calling himself a Republican would vote
and work for the ticket. Now, Republicans are
ouarrelng year in and year out; the Conveu
items are controlled by trickery and trading; and
when ticket is nominated, il is not known how
many Republicans will vote for it, or whether
even the delegates who nominated it will work
for it or the opposition ticket.
In those days. when man was elected to Office
by the party, he felt that he owed the party an
obligation, and used the whole influence of his
office to secure the success of the party. But
now, when a man is elected to office, his interest
in the party seems to die out. He becomes tim
id, lest he should do something TO lose him q
vote on his re election, and goes to shysterng to
get on what he thinks will be the winning side.
One cause of this change, is the fact that, be-
fore the war, the parties were so evenly divided
that they were compelled to keep united. An
other cause, is the fact that personal partisan
ship has taken the place of party principle
Men are ambitious to "run" the County, aud the

ted to do SO, whether an opposing faction shall
carry off the spoils.
This wraugling and division dates back just
ten years. Previously to that time, the party in
Doniphan County was harmonious. Since then
there has been scarcely an election that was moi
characterized 10y triekery, bolting, and division

and being duly interviewed, deposeth and saith,
