so GOOD AND PI0Us.

The following is from the Fort Scott Sen
tinei and Pioneer. Some parts of the article
are very naughty. Bro. Sargent should know
that We have no desire to injure the good
and pious Deacon's reputation in the
Church; on the contrary, We are endeavor-
ing to convince him of certain little sins he
has committed, and if We succeed in max
ing him repent, We will have the pleasure
of presenting to our readers biography OF
the purest and best man in the State-the
truly good and pious Deacon Houston.
Read what the naughty .Ssatiad and Pioneer
says:
We learn from the Leavenworth TINES that An
thoIy of that paper and Deacon Houston Of the COM
nerciGI are having law suit about a bet, which
came up in the District Court Of that Sity Wed.
nes1ay.
The TINES claims that each put up hundred dol
lars, and in way the Pious Deacon got both
sums, though the TIMES claims 10 have won the bet
The Deacon declines betting, that would he sin
and are inclined think the Deacon is right for
il seems strange that the Deacon has the stakes il
the TINES won the bet. Anthony is trying to in
jUre the Deaoon's reputation in the Church.

WAsHINGToS, D. c., February 6, 1875.
ED. TINES = John Browns soul is still
marching along with all the pomp and cir
cumstance of right vindicated. The Civil
Rights Bill was passed in the House yester-
day, at half past three in the afternoon, by
vote of one hundred and fifty three, to
ninety-eight.
The following Republicans voted in the
negative Messrs. Butler of Tennessee,
Crutch6eld, Harrison, Loaand, Lowndes,
Phelps, Sloan, Smith of Va, Stanard,
Thomas of West Virginia, and Thornburg.
Mr.. Serer announced himself paired of
with Mr.. Ransier, who had been called
away by sickness in his family.
During the earliest, the enemies of the
bill, or any bill tending to secure the rights
of the oppressed, expressed themselves As
being opposed, on account of the "nigger"
equality, embraced in the school clause, re-
quiring all children to be
ADMITTED TO THE COMMON SCHOOLS
without regard to race, color, or previous
condition of servitude Their inbom dis
honesty, rendering them inferior to any re-
spectacle "nigger," was fully demonstrated
by their solid opposition to the bill when
the final vote was taken, Notwithstanding,
the objectional school clause had been
stricken out. There are some here who
seem paralized with fear lest the ne roshould
be recognized as their equals. Why is it
that the noble and true men and women Of
this land, who know no higher Law than
r ght, have no fears as to the equality of the
inferior, whether white or black? 1t is be-
cause they are conscious that with the hon
est and true nothing but the great can he
equal, and such equality they welcome as
being ordained BY God himself. On the
other hand it is no great task to compre-
hend why this whisky guzzling, copper
headed, treason-stained Democrat, and 9TH
er low specimens should shrink from the
idea OF negro equality, they are conscious
of their own Unborn inferiority, and fear
that even the
MICRO WILL THROW THEM IN THE SHADE
If he is exhibited on the same day with
themselves.
1t is the CALLED jade that winces, and
these same jades know that no respectable
negro would boast os being considered their
equals in any field where equal opportuni-
ties are granted. Those will shrink back
in dread who stand nearest to the chasm's
brink. Those who find themselves standing
nearest the Kissing coil of the deadly ser
pent will manifest the most alarm, while
those Who stand away, above and beyond
the reach Of danger are calm and serene,
and don't yell Snakes so Justify as those
bare-footed fellows whose heels are in dan
ger
When the order Of the day il to @Ies the
devil take the hindmost." !" of course the fuss
and uproar will be among those stragglers
in the rear Of this great onward march Of
the Nineteenth Century, and ths dsvi, ne-

SENATOR CARPENTER.

Senator Carpenters great speech a, Mil
waukee is favorably spoken OF by every one.
He said that Angus Cameron is true Re-
publican, and would work with the party.
The Chicago Journal says that Mr.. Carpen-
ter made some mistakes at Washington, but
even his severest critics must admit that
his late defeat was abundant punishment;
They should be remembered against him
no more, for il must he conceded that he
kept aloof from corrupt rings and proved
an eminently useful statesman. He prob
ably aspires to succeed Timothy o. Howe
in the United States Senate, and perhaps he
will do so. Mr.. Howe is feeble in health
and not likely to he again elected. His
term viii expire in March, 1877.
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1875-02-18
SPEAKER ELAINE.

The admirable manner in which Speaker
Blaine has guided the House through the
stormy scenes OF the past two weeks, has
been the subject OF praise on all sides. He
has proved a skillful and trusty pilot. Not
only has he governed the House with firm,
expert and impartial hand, but he has kept
a steady head as the leader OF his party,
and has done good service in shielding it
against extreme and untenable positions. 1t
is largely to his influence that the House is
inde tied for the new rule which is not mere
ly just and defensible in itself, but an actual
and conceded Improvement on the old
order OF business. Mr.. Blaine has been a
great success as a Speaker-undoubted
the best of recent years-and what he will
be on the floor, where he will take his place
in the next Congress, he showed before he
entered the Speakers chair.

Anglia cAHKR0R

The Chicago Journal remarks tha; it is >
coincidence that Angus Cameron, the Uni
ted States Senator from Wisconsin to sue
ceed Matt Carpenter, was born in the same
town ss ex-senator Doolittie, whom Mr..
Carpenter succeeded. He practiced his
profession at Buffalo for several years, but,
through dissipation, became very much re-
duced in circumstances, though he was
recognized as having considerable legal
ability. Removing from Buffalo to La
Crusse in ls57, he turned over new leaf,
and, after filing several public Offices, was
sent to the Legislature, and was elected
Speaker Of the Houoe in 1867.

xEw POSTMASTER

In the LIST of postmasters appointed dr.
ing the past week, We notice that William
Higgins will have charge OF the postal al
fairs in Columbus, Cherokee county, for
-ome time to come. Mr.. Higgins is a
whole-souied, honest and industrious man,
one who began life in the TINE. office, and
has worked his way up, until he is now the
editor and one oil the proprietors Of the
Columbus Jomnoi Being brother-in-law
of Mr.. I. Griffin, of this city, his Leaven-
worth friends will be glad to hear OF the
appointment. The change is good one,
and Columbus will have an honest and cap
able L. NJ.

BUCKINGHAM.

The late Senator Buckingham, Of Con-
necticut, was elected Governor Of his ma
tive State in 1858 and reelected for seven
successive years. At his last election, in
1865, his majority was overwhelming,
reaching the unprecedented figures of over
eleven thousand. Under the present constl-
tuition only one Governor, Oliver Walcott,
has held the office for so many years. OF
the Governors under the royal charter, the
two Trumbulls, both natives of Lebanon,
held the Office for twenty-six years, the ell
der being in Office fifteen years and his son
eleven. 1t is reported that Governor In
gersoll, will appoint Senator-elect Eaton to
fill the brief vacancy occasioned by the
death OF Senator Buckingham.

The following, from the Morris County
Democrat, is another notice on the Lecompte
letter. We publish it as a Democratic
opinion:

Secretary of state by those suspicious individuals,
and report the facts in relation TO such officer ana
his official acts to this House.

AID CONVENTION.

We'publish to-day the report OF the con-
vention held in Tonganoxie, day before yes
terday. 1t is useless to deny that there is
some destitution in Atchison and Leaven-
worth counties. We much regret that the
farmers Of this county should decide to
seek foreign aid. But they are the best
judges, they know better what is needed,
and we hope the committee appointed will
be succs ssful in their efforts. The conven-
tion was composed OF the representative
men of Leavenworth county, and the COM
mittees are hard working, honest men, who
will be earnest in the work entrusted to
them. They 60 fully endorsed, with no
"Dr." or "Rev." to their names, and can be
trusted every time.

ANOTHER LIBEL SUIT,

We copy this morning from the Fort
Scott Sem.ine! and Pioneer, an article on the
libel suit, that paper has on its hands.
As long as newspapers continue to tell
the truth about unprincipled scoundrels, SO
long will there be libel suits. The manager
of the Pioneer and Sentinel makes very
plausible explanation of the trouble, and
shows clearly that he has been imposed
upon by a bad man, whose name is Goode.
We hope if the case comes into court, that
the plaintiff will learn a Goode lesson, that
he may study to his advantage.
