S,s,uEROYH TRIAL.

The Kansas editors who in their ''heart of
hearts" AK for dismissal of the prosecu-
ton against ex-senator Pomeroy do not in
our opinion interpret Alright the voice Of the
people. Public sentiment favors the trial Of
Mr.. Pomeroy. We cannot say, however,
that tie same sentiment demands his punish
ment, because many believe that his punish.
ment has been terrible and crushing already.
Nevertheless the trial il demanded, and the
reasons for the demand can he very briefly
and very clearly stated.
Mr.. Pomeroy with all his fine social quail
tiles and many generosities was acorruption-
i.t. lie was the Mephistopheles of Kansas
corruption. lie bought men and paid the
highest price for them. This much
is admitted by his best friends.
and the evidence in the trial cannot
add anything to the conviction in the
minds Of the people on this point. But the
trial will disclose the names of the men be
bought and the prices paid for them; and that
is what the people of Kansas want to know.
Let us know the men who accepted brides
AZ we'll a. the men who offered them. This
ia an era of investigation and inquiry, hence
We should investigate and inquire. Perhaps
ONE of the very men who took Pomeroy's
money, and in consideration thereof voted for
him, and wrote newspaper editorials for him,
are now playing the part Of political REFORM
ers, and asking for the confidence and sup
port of the people. II there are men in
Kansas who have done these things for
money, their names ought to be given to the
public, and the shortest and the .surest way
TO sach publicity is through = vigorous land
thorough prosecution of the Pomeroy case in
the Districs Court Of Shawnee county. II Is
not Pomeroy alone the people are after, hut
members Of the Legislature and Others who
sold out TO him.
The people expect to zee Judge Morton.
and District Attorney Ryan, do their whole
duty in this matter without fear, favor, pref
utlice or affection.

the OLD RECORDS OF 1855.

Of the U. q. Court of Kansas Territory upon
the motion 10 dismiss ID. Scott Boyle, clerk
Of the court, and two attorneys, for abduct-
ing, tarring and feathering VIM. Phillips,
brother attorney at the bar. Our readers

days Of 1855, must have been mild man.
aersd man. The brutal treatment Of Phillips
BY his pei clerk only made his soul overflow
With expressions OF love for the impulsive
Young man he had brought from old Mary
land. Not one word for Phillips, and not
one Of condemnation for the cowardly brutes
Who had maltreated him, and who afer-
yards murdered him in cold blood. The
papers published, il seems 10 M, prove co..

UNHAPPY SPAIN.

The dispatches from Madrid concerning
the coup detaf are both vague and mcager,
10 that il il difficult to arrive at an intelli-
gent view Of the sliustion. The decisive
vote in the Cortes against CASTELAR, was
twenty. whereupon Gen. Pavia sent letter
demanding it, dissolution. Salmeron urged
CASTELAR, to continue in power, but he de-
clined. wherenpon Pavia dissolved the Cor
tes by force and called upon the leaders of
all parties to form new Government. This
has been done by making Marshal Serrano
President of the Republic, and investing him
with the chief executive power; Senior Ss-
gasta, Minister of Foreign Affair; Senior
Z,vala, Minister of War; and Senior Eche-
