Statesman. And yet / come to Of
fer humble tribute to his memory
from old free Kansas. The state
have in part the honor to represent,
in its early struggles for existence
! and freedom, elected the Warmest
sympathy. of Charles Sumner, and
| called forth from him some of the
grandest parliamentary efforts that
dignity the history of the govern
ment.
His great speech on the crime
against Kansas was not only ami
mated by that spirit of lofty philan-
thropy which ever came naturally
from his great, magnanimous heart,
bat was thrilled through and
through with tho highest concep-
ton of popular liberty in America.
That speech, too, entailed on him
long years of suffering, and was
| doubtless the means of prematurely
depriving his country of services
she i'll could spare, and the world
of life as eminent as it was pure.
In the history Of the past twelve
years, among the galaxy of great
men who may be STYLED the fathers
of our second revolution: the men
who when the storms beat and the
wind blew, when the timid were
timid and the faithless faithless,
seized the very misfortunes and
weaknesses which threatened the
government and hewed them into
the foundation stones of a recon-
structeI Republic-among these
men six names stand in bold relief
Sumner, Chase, Lincoln, Stevens.
Seward, Stanton; and they are all
gone. They did their share of the
work ably and fearlesslY, and God
Almighty blessed them in this, that
ere they died they had the privilege
of seeing peace and liberty clasp
hands across a regenerated CONT

Sumner was one OF the best types
of orr public men. y scholar so
ripe, an orator so eloquent, that as
orator or scholar wo may Justly feel
proud of him as the peer of any or
ator or scholar OF any country or
any time; a statesman who squared
his political principles by the fun
damental maxims of right and
wrong; politician wcese sympa-
thies were with the down-trodden
and the weak, and who gave to hui
manity rather than TO party q gen.
tleman, withal, whose life was so
dignified and pure that even his en-
emies never dared with the breath
of SANDER to sully his fame.
Some men are great actors, 9TH
ers eminent for executive ability
others are great thinkers. Among
toe latter no one was more eminent
than Charles Sumner. He seized
the fresh but crude ideas as they
fioated up from the public mind,
and nodded them into symmetry.
Always clinging to the fundamen-
tai maxims of equality and right,
when dangers threatened the edi-
flee that is the safeguard for the Sc
curity and liberty of forty millions
of people, he seized the very neces-
sites and dangers that threatened
the country and planted them as
the pillars of a reconstructed en-
pire.

MORE MONEY.

This is the cry. Men, women and
children unite in asking for more
money. The rich are not satisfied
with their thousands of dollars; and
and tho poor man Is retched for the
want of u small sum. The business
man declares he has not a sufilcien-
cy TO carry on business. The labor
ing man and tradesmaG say they
have not money enough to support
their families dccently. Hard
Times rules with an iron rod oyer
every class and condition among
men. What shall VIC do is.the cry

more money led a great many to
desire an imitation Of the currency.

Certain papers of the pomatum

seized with their regular Summer
complaint" about candidates for
Office and we see that our
name Is made to figure as an aspi-
rant. We sympathise with these
deeply, and would glad
ly bring peace to their narrowed
souls. If our assurances are worth
anything at all in their estimation,
we will pledge our sacred honor to
them that we never had, for one
moment, any more expectation of
being candidate for any offiee
than we had of committing suicide.
We suppose they received their in
formation from the Commonwealth

boody of itself by parading before
the public the names of q lot OF

Finance will be the Issue in The
next presidential campaign unless
some compromise IL effected during
this session of Congress. Such a
canvass would obliterate old party
lines. The contest would be of a
sectional character. The coutrac-
tionists of tho east would be array
ed against the inhationists of the
west. The Great West would rise
mp in its might to meet the eastern
oppressor." We think there Is no
uncertainty as TO the result of such
contest. Taking the vote on the
currency bill as q basis, we can
count $50 electoral votes in favor
of the western policy; aud lO7 in
favor of the east. The south and
west united can elect a President.
They now have majority in the
house and senate, and with a Pres
ident of their own choosing can
wrsst the sceptre of supremacy
from the hands of the eastern cspi-
talists.

LOWE BEFORE A CONGRESSIONAL.
CoMMITTEE.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Albany Evening
Journal writes as follows concern
ing the legislative labOrs of our
Kansas Representatives
Representative Lowe, of Kansas,
appeared before the Committee on
Public Lands and made an elabor-
ate argument upon the bill for the
protection of settlers upon the pub
lie lands within railroad limits.
He argued that no presumption To-
cation, homestead entry or other fill
ing in pursuance of any United
States law, upon lands in Kansas
within the limits of any grant of
land to any railroad compsny, which
was made before the withdrawal of
the lands from market, should be
imperative or void on account of
having been made after any alleged
location of the route of the railroad
to which such grant appertained.
He also urged that all such settle
ments which have been cancelled
should be ratified and confirmed,
and patents ought to be issued.
The committee will probably re-
port favorably upon the bill.

publican with q good ticket, but
not observation-disclosures Journal.

best men in the state, and ought to
put them forward. If the Republi.

We clip the following from the
Chicago Inter ocean. We do not
fully agree with the position as
sumed, but our readers can see
something of the effect of the veto
on the markets. Whether or not
this will be the general and perma-
nent effect of the veto remains to
be seen.
The effect upon prices Of the veto
of the Senate currency bill was i'm
mediate. Stocks declined heavily
in New York on Thursday, and in
Chicago prices of grain and provis-
ions suffered large'depreciatiou
The shriDkage of stock in store
here in q single day was not less
than 100000, and of course the loss
on the whole stock of the West is
enormous. The money of the East
ern capitalists will buy more corn,
wheat, oats, pork, and provisions to-
day than it would buy Yesterday.
A dollar is worth more to-day than
it was yesterday, and by consequence
every commodity in the market is
worth less. There has been O great
deal said about the heinous offence
of depreciating the currency, and
so robbing the creditor class for the
benefit of the debtor class; but the
effect OF the veto has been to rob the
producing class. The influence of
Boston and New York has been
sufficient to induce the President to
take a step which forces direct loss
upon every farmer in the country.
But Notwithstanding the RESPONSE
bility of the act must of necessity
rest upon the President, we charge
that il should rest with the grasping
money mOnOpOlists, who have be-
sieged him sin season and out of
season" until by their insensate
clamOrs they have compelled him
to surrender his better Judgment to
their control. Let, therefore, the
reproaches of the people be cast up
on the reckless, selfish men who
have not hesitated to threaten civil
war as the alternative of the country
to submit to their dictaJion.
