SAFELY DELIvERED.-The Wathena Reporter,
of Last Saturday, came out promptly ON Tuesday,
after dreadful hard time. The leading editori-
al knocks Judge Hubbards injunction higher
than a kite, contains a glossary of Latin law
terms, and will hereafter be incorporated in Su-
preme Court Reports, as standard authority.
What space is not devoted to laying down the
law, is generously given to the CHIEF. 1t en-
emphatically asserts that the Chief lies, and as
clearly proves, in the summing up, that the Chief
tells the truth.
For our part, we have no other interest in the
Wathena fight than to give our readers the facts,
as nearly as we can ascertain them. The whole
commotion has been raised by the Reporter, SIM
ply because some men refused to bow down to
the mighty genius who is wearing out his brain
to show what fools Judges and Courts are. We
suppose it is his interest to wage war upon one
half of the community from which its support
should come; but in the end, it might prove as
profitable to devote a little of the space even to
communications that have no sense in them.

n Mr.. Webb says his say, this week, about
the Atchison and Nebraska Railroad taxes, al
though his organ at Wathena anticipated him,
and said sufficient to satisfy the most exacting.
Our article, last week, was written upon state
ments made to us by officer of the Railroad
Company. We hope that he will now tell his
side of the question, so that We may be able to
decide between them.

The question is which is the Oldest paper the
Atchison Champion or Troy Ch9f 1t is point worth
setting-PaOld Spirit.
1t is no question at all A few lines will dis
pose of it. The Champion was started by John
A. Martin, on material previously used in print
ing Pro-Slavery paper. The Chief was pub
lished before John A. Martin ever saw Kansas
When he first came to Kansas, he worked at
Doniphan, on Redpath's Crusader. The Chief
was published long before the Crusader was
started. We were in Atchlson in the Spring of
1855, few weeks after the Champion was start
ed, and called at the office. The Chief had then
been published about q year. If the Champion
claims its publication from the time its type and
press were first in use, we can meet him on that
ground, and come ont still further ahead!

Democratic candidate for Governor, but was de-
feated by Governor Curtin. In 1865 he was

RESPITED.
Execution of Henderson and Will
Iiams Postponed.

Gov. Kellogg has granted respite 10 u. II
Henderson and Bill Williams, the two muir
derers who were to be executed at the Parish
Prison on Friday next. The reason Tor this
action of the Governor is set forth IN the
order issued to the sheriff which reads as
follows:
To the Criminal Sheriff, Parish of Orleans:
Whereas, on the 4th day of New, 1875 war
ront ofexecution was issued in due form OF law,
commanding YOU to cause the sentence OF death
passed upon d. r. Henderson by the Honora-
HE the Superior Criminal Conrt OF the Parish
of Orleans, to be duly executed upon the body
of the said ID. r. Henderson, on FRIDAY the
Goth day of November inst, and, whereas, 1t
has been brought to my knowledge that case
is now pending before the Supreme Court OF
the State, and awaiting decision, which calls
in question the legality of the Impeachment
of the Grand Jury by whom the said render
sen amongst, others was indicted;
Now. therefore. in order not to deprive the
condemned man of any legal rights, and 10
order to allow time for an authoritative ex-
preston of opinion from the Supreme Court
of the State upon the question OF law thus
raised hereby respite the said d. Il. Fen
derson until Friday, the Sd day OF December,
1875, on which day, between the hours OF .
o'clock in the forenoon and IL meridian,
should no further orders be received by you
in the meantime, you will cause the execu-
ton to be done on the person of said d. r.
Henderson in all things according TO the
Judgment against him, and for so doing this
shall be your sufficient warrant.
Given under my hand and the seal Of the
State, this 22d day OF November, 1875.
VIM. p. KELLOGG, Governor.
A similar order was issued as regards Bill
Williams.
The opinion of prominent lawyers isthat
the legality of the Grand Jury, as presented
in the cases referred to, is unquestionable.

1t is too early yet to give any positive
figures about the Speakership. Enough is
known, however, to make it certain that the
four prominent candidates-we name them in
the order of their probable strength on the
first ballot-are Messrs. Randall, Kerr, Wood
and Cox. Messrs. Wood and Cox have
probably about an equal number of support
ers. Randall is supposed to be ten or fifteen
votes ahead of Kerr The natural tendency
of Woods supporters would be to Randall as
their second choice, while Cox's would proba-
bly, drift to Kerr. Randalrs friends believe
that Wood can control enough of his votes
after his own chances are shown to be hope
less to secure the nomination for the Penn
sylvania candidate.
The friends of Kerr doubt it. Meantime
the general attack seems to be rather upon
Randall than any body else, and there is
chance that his very prominence may defeat
him. Each side is busy telling how the other
is promising chairmanships on committees
right and left in return for votes. On the
one hand il is shown that Randall has Penn
sylvania disposition towards appropriations.
On the other it is maintained that Kerr is the
veriest Bourbon in his party. Between now
and the first of December the fight has time
enough to become a great deal liveier, and
the time is likely to be improved York

FOUL PLAY.
An Unknown Man Found Floating
i'm the Old Basin with his
Skull Fractured.

Officer Tricou at half-past 5 o'clock Monday
morning, while walking along the Old Basin,
between Miro and Tonti streets, was surprised
by the stencil which seemed to come from the
weeds in the water on the border of the canal.
The officer paused for a moment and then
walked to the edge, when to his horror he dis
covered the body of white man, apparently
about fifty years Of age, close to the shore in
the weeds.
The body was disfgured, and from all ap-
pearances looked as if it had been in the
water for several days. The face was eaten
away by the crabs and fish, and presented a
CHASTITY appearance. The officer with the as
sistance of some citizens pulled the body out
of the weeds, when it was discovered that foul
play had been practiced. wound some two
inches in length was found on the back of his
head, which was evidently inflicted by the
unknown murderer before he was thrown into
the Basin.
No swelling was visible as is always the
case when man is drowned, and it is proba-
BILE that the man was killed and afterwards
thrown into the canal
The deceased has grey beard and wore q
pair of brown jean pants, dark wooden
shirt and brogan shoes. Several hundred
people residing in the vicinity visited the
spot but was unable to identify the dead man.
The deceased has the appearance of being q
laboring man. Coroner DeBlanc has been
notified and will hold an inquest.

Senator Randolph of New Jersey makes his
first appearances as Vice Presidential candi-
date. The Richmond Enquirer says: Either
Bayard or Tilden, with good representative
man as Vice President, such a man, tor
instance, as Senator Randolph of New Jersey,
or one perhaps from the West or New Eng
land, or even from the South, who has
broad national record. would make very
powerful ticket, and one that, in the present
demoraliZed condition of the other party,
torn and rent as it is by fiction, would be in
vincible. But be the candidates who they
may, if only they are worthy the support of
the party as good and pure men, the South
will cast its vote almost unanimously for
them" The Governor was thought not I'M
willing to be considered in connection with
the office four years ago.
