REVEALS.

A majority Of the Leavenworth clergy
ere at present deyOting their valuable time
in the work OF a religious revival. We be-
Eeve our city Is as quiet and religious as a
city Of forty-five thousand people could be.
Yet, we must say that there are many who
could be benefited by a more intimate ac-
guaintance with their Creator. Our city
has experienced change Of heart" once
before, through f. Payson Hammond.
Many OF our citizens acknowledged
the error OF their ways, but no sooner
had the portly form OF Bro. Z. =. ii. de-
parted, than his good works followed him.
And we positively assert that there are not
ten persons in this city to-day who can
credit their Christianity to the acts OF Mr.
Hammond. We hope and trust that Mr..
EarIe's works VIII not be so short-lived, but
that he may eventually succeed in his good
work. From the character OF the gentle
man, We would be led to expect different. re-
suits from his labors than those which Z.
p. H. achieved, for the latter gentleman does
not bear very good reputation in the
country, and IS at present on his way 10
California, so as not to lie confronted with
certain charges

THURSDAY, JANUARY IA, 1873.
LlWLEssNEJs.

During This season Of the year, people
seem to lose all the little regard they have
heretofore held for the law. Every paper
Won read teens with accounts OF crimes,
committed in every section Of the country.
The White Leaguers Of the South are daily
defying the authorities, in a manner that
would reflect anything but credit on C ivl-
Lied world. The Muncie train robbers ex-
hibited such utter disregard OF law that
they not only robbed the express company,
but also imperilled the lives Of all the pas
sengers-and only one Of them has been
aptured. And now from our neighboring
little village of Atchison comes the news OF
bolder crimes. 4 few days ago we chroni-
cled the bold attempt TO assassinate Il. +.
Waggener, while returning from his law
Office, toward midnight. The police have
no idea of the name of this would-be muir
derer. And this morning We publish an
other account, from the Atchison Champion,
of an attempt on the lie OF the operator at
that place After shooting at Mr.. Flowers,
the cowardly wretch retreated, as he, or
some one equally contemplate, did after
shooting at Mr.. Waggener. l. some mono
maniac nightly roaming the streets OF Atch-
ison seeking whom he may assassinate
The people of the village owe it to them
selves and to the country that they appre
herd this wretch, and bring him to the bar
of Justice. 1t is getting monotonous. and
we are in dread that in his playful deviltry
he may take the train Tor the metropolis
and murder few Of orr forty-tive thousand
people

SUSTAIN HIM.

The main question AT Issue in Louisiana,
is whether a Republican, no matter whether
he be white or black, can live in that State
The Constitution says he can. White
Lcaguers say no. The President and Gen.
Sheridan say the Constitution protects all
men alike in their right TO life and prop
erty. 1t is for Congress to say whether
White Leaguers shall lie authorized to con-
tinue their vocation OF murder, or whether
the Constitution shalhprotect all, regardless
! of color, religion, nationality, or politics.
1t would seem that civilized people would
! not hesitate long in deciding, and We ap-
Eprehend that Congress will not delay en-
Edorsing the President and General. Have
not Thousands OF men in the South been
robbed and murdered? Are they not being
murdered by the scores to-day? Has the
General Government no duty TO perform
Every christian man in the land will say
yes-protect the people; stop these muir
ders. The presence OF armed soldiers saved
scores Of lives. Away, then, with all doubts
and questions of Constitutional rights,
What is the Constitution good for, unless ii
Is TO protect the lives of our people?
Il Sheridan has told the plain truth, and il
treauired brave man to do it. Sheridan
ALWAYS dealt with thieves and robbers and
outlaws in the same bold way. We have
mo fears. Sheridsn's heart is right. His
motives are pure. Every man who believes
that governments are instituted for the pur'
pose of protecting the lives and property OF
their citizens, will stand by and sustain him

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

The Topeka .Commonrarha copies the arti-
Gle from the TINES in regard to the erection
Of public buildings in LeavenwOrth, and
adds: "We have had a preseEtiment that
We should have to lock horns with Leaven-
worth on this important issue, and the
above article makes it certainty" That
is to say that Topeka will Use all means,
either fair or foul, to secure the erection OF
public buildings al that place. The Com
nonuoath also intends TO use its influence TO
secure the removal OF the L. 5. Courts
back to Topeka. The bar of the
State are unit in their preference for
Leavenworih, both on account Of its elegant
court house and lis superior accommOda-
tons. Leavenworih will have to keep a
sharp lookout, and If we are united on this
question prosperous future is before US.
But as long as the good and pious Deacon
Houston publicly abuses and ridicules cur
delegation in Congress, because he did not
secure a seat in the House, we can hardly
expect them to do anything Tor US. But,
even if the Commercial continues Its senseless
TRADE, and interferes with our prosperity,
all true friends OF LeaveBworth will unite
with JHE TINES in securing Tor our city a
Just and fair proportion of legislation.
We have always helped Topeka, and
when they wanted III: capital located there,
Col. Holiday and Others came to Leaven-
worth and importuned Us to aid them, and
We said a good word for them. We do not
see what special claims Topeka has for the
buildings, over Atchison, Emporia, Law
renee or Fort Scott.

sCHURZ'S SUCCESSOR,

The Senatorial fight wakes warm in our
neighboring State, the chances of Francis
COckrill being the next Senator have not
improved. Gov. Woodson has Withdrawn
from the contest, which will considerably
help Mr.. E. H. Norton, of Platte county, or
Col. Burnes, of ST. Joseph, If he is candi-
date. Thos. Allen, OF 81. Louis, is thought
by many TO be the coming man, as he has
a few cunning politicians who are working
cautiously for him. Mayor Brown, of St.
Louis, is also in the field, and Stiison Hut
chins thinks there is a possibility OF Sena-
torial lightning striking him. OF course,
as the TINES has said, Carl Schurz's sue
cesSor will be bourbon Democrat, or an
old rebel, who viii not be reconstructed, but
at any rate we hope Missouri's choice viii
be Que the nation can endorse.

SCHURZ' SUCCESSOR.

The Missouri Legislature will be called
upon, this winter, TO select gentleman to
occupy the seat in the United States Senate
which Carl Schurz will vacate next spring.
There is not the least doubt, but that the
future Senator will be Democrat, one OF
those old fellows, perhaps, who fought in
the Southern army, and who urges hisclaims
upon the support of the party on that &C.
count.
The man who has the most positive
strength at present is Gen. Frank Coclrill,
Confederate officer, who is well spoken of
by the Missouri papers. Next comes John
+. Phelps, and probably Col Vest, who is
urged by the Sedalia Democrat. Thomas
Allen, of St. Louis, and President of the
Iron Mountain Railroad, is mentioned as a
compromise candidate. Then there are those
who would take il, but who are not making
much of 4 fight; among whom are Stilson
Hutchins, OF the ST. Louis Times, Hon. +.
III. Norton, prominent and honorable citi-
zen Of Platte City. Col. James n. Burnes, OF
st. Joseph, and ex-Gov. i. Graft Brown
But no matter who Schurz' successor is, We
think he will be the inferior OF that gentle
man in ability, honesty and craftsmanship

HIGH SCHOOLS.

Now. while the School Board is discussing
the propriety of moving the High School
into the unfinished building in South
Leavenworth, the question arises in our
mind, why,ehosld we support, at such an
enormous expense, High School? Most
Of the parents who send children TO our pub
lie schools are worthy and honest men, yet
they have not an over-abandant supply OF
this worlds goods. Perhaps they are not
versed in Mythology, Astronomy or Geolo-
ogy, vet they succeed as we'll in life, and
their table is as well supplied, as his who
dimes with the stars, or sups with Jupiter or
Neptune.
America is a land of reality. A boy, in
this country, is educated with the idea that
his future depends upon his own efforts, and
the sooner he launches his boat on sthe sea
of life the better it will be for himself fla
boy has good, sound business education,
and is steady in his habits, his success in
life is assured All that is needed in our
schools is a training which will prepare our
children for the realities of life, and with
this idea in view High Schools,
supported by the city, should be
dispensed with, and, if it is necessary, let
those who want = be instructed in Chemis-
try, Astronomy, Greek, and Mythology, at
tend schools for that purpose, and
not tax the laborisg man, who can
not afford TO send his child TO school
long enough TO graduate from the High
School, for the education of the rich and
more favored one. BY this, the school tax
would be lessened, and an injustice remedied.
High Schools are good enough in them
selves, but it is wrong to tax the poor 10
educate the rich.

TIE SHAWNEE LANDS.

We furnish our readers this morning with
the report of the action of Congress in the
matter of the Shawnee lands. The bill was
introduced by Col. Phillips, but the land
being in Col. Cobb's district, he was partic-
ularly interested in the result. Col. Cobb
is a most Jealous and ardent friend of toe
people, and we think the voters of the Sec
ond District will regret their action at the
November election. They may have been
right, but we doubt it. The TINES ventures
the opinion that they will not be benefited
by the change, as S. \. Cobb is as true and
faithful to his constituents as man can be-

STATE PRINTING.

The Legislature is now in session, and the
protesting against the high rates allowed to
the State Printer As The TINES has said
before, no individual would pay the prices
charged the State, under the existing law,
and the statute should he modified thi.
Winter, so as to meet with the Just demands
OF the people. We do not care, particu-
larry, who is State Printer, providing he is
an honest and competent man; but We dc
feel interested in the rates allowed thi:
officer, and we believe the people OF the
State are with THE TINES in this matter
and demand a great reduction in the expen
ses OF this Office

THE ASSESSMENT LAW.

We notice several of our State exchanges
are suggesting various amendments to the
assessment laws. They all agree that the
present mode of assessment is manifestlv
unjust. In this county, for instance, there
are twelve assessors, where there should only
be two. As it is, We have eleven assessors
in the county and one in the city. The
eleven township officers go to work and APP
praise the property in their various dis
tricts, and when the returns are made To
the County Clerk, he finds that an acre OF
land in Kickapoo township, divided by the
township line only, from an acre in High
Prairie, is assessed at fifty dollars, while the
other land is appraised at thirty dollars an
acr-a difference OF judgment on the, part
of the two assessors. This is where the mis-
take is: there should be only one county
assessor and one city assessor, elected for
two years, As there is only one city clerk
and one county clerk. Each would have
his own duties, and the appraisements
would be more in accordance with right and
Justice.

ess Of LsduenrWh County:
We, the undersigned citizens and tax

Geo. I. Smith, late Treasurer, and Others,
can now be made, and believing that the
best interest Of the county will be pro-
NOTED by avoiding the expense and uncer-
tainties incident to protracted litigation,
and without assuming to decide upon the
legal questions involved in this case, would
recommend that an immediate settlement
be made with such parties, if such can be
done by reasonable compromise, eonsid-
ering matters in dpisute by the parties:

qualification Of juror, and tina: the judg-
meat Il man OF this kind, although j;
may be entirely unparalleled, IS good Tor
nothing, and as likely to be wrong as right.
The only qualification o. juror should be
honesty. An honest man who reads the
papers and keeps himself informed upon
current topics is more likely to give an
honest verdict than an ignorant man who
does not read and knows nothing o. the
events Transporting all around him. lgnor-
ant men are more preiudiced than intelli-
gent men, and less capable OF forming an
unbiased opinion. The most mysterious
fact about the matter is how real-estate
and insurance agent, who knows nothing
about this scandal, can conduct his business
with any degree OF intelligence.
