In Salt Creek Township, in this county,

THEpEAcoN's CASTLE
And What Resulted From An Extended No
, tice Of the A&alr.

Yesterday morning the readers of the
Commercial probably read what was meant
TO be an expose OF Mr.. P. & Castle, an in
surance agent OF this city. 1t was alleged
that when Mr. Castle was an agent of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, Of Milwaukee, that he did not make
full settlement with the Company, and
was consequently defaulter. The trouble
first originated in the Topeka correspond
ence of our contemporary, and was follow
ell by an editorial notice in the same paper.
To this Mr.. Castle took exception. and yes
terday morning procured the arrest Of the
good and pious Deacon, on a charge of ma
licious libel. We know nothing of the
merits of the case, but have an idea sha.
there is little spite somewhere. But II
will be remembered that the Deacon was
the man who rejoiced exceedingly, when
the TINES was fined for libel. Now we say
with Patrick Henry, '1et it come" Give
the Deacon hearing, treat him fairly, and
if he be guilty, give him ''iive hundred dol
lars and costs"
We have also authority for the state
ment that the telegram published in yester
day mornings Commercial, was published
without Mr. VIM. Booths knowledge OF
consent.

NEED LEGIsLArIoN.

And now the New York Legislature must
''take small hand" in the Tilton-Beecher
trial. 1t seems that in adopting system
of criminal Jurisprudence for the city Of
Brooklyn however it may have been else
where no provision was made for cases ex
tending teyond month, i. e. beyond one
term. Legislation is therefore necessary to
authorize Judge Nelson to continue the
present trial until Its conclusion. 1t is ex-
pected that no difficulty will be experienced
in securing the needed enactment Every
body seems desirous of having the Brooklyn
stables cleansed by the Hercules of litiga-

TOPEKA, KAN, Jan. %, 1875.
EDITOR TrMEs: The debate, last night,
in the House of Representatives, on the
Louisiana resolutions, was the most inter
esting occasion Of the session. Dwight
Thacher made an elegant argument in favor
of the sdoption of the resolutions. Mr..
Haskell's speech had the special merit Of
brevity and was veil digested argument
for the Administration 1lessrs Fihwil-
liam, Cox, and John A. Martin made
shrewd and plausible arguments for Willis
rebels Fitz hit from the shoulder, Cox was
brilliant and Martin logical. Jim Legate
closed the debate in his sledge hammer style,
and ended by moving the previous question.
This ended the debate, and the resolutions
we're adopted by vote of &C ayes to % nays.
The result was hailed with great applause.
Among the speakers who amused the
crowd were Campbell, of johnson, and Car
ter, of Sumner county, on the Democratic
side, and Houston, on the Republican side.
Campbell wanted to leave his vote against
the resolution az a legacy TO FIVE sons, but it
is hoped by his friends thot he will leave
these unfortunate boys some other property
as an Offset to the burden.
Mr.. Houston is an old, honest Scotch
Irishman with a rich brogue, and he an
svered Campbell's bolderdash in good style.

United States Earshal

1t is reported that Hon. Henry W. Cook,
Of Wyandotte, is about to be appointed U.
s. Marshal for Kansas, in place Of Capt. W.
S. Tough. The report has found its way
into public print, and We therefore assume
the right to use it. Cook would do honor
to the position, and our delegation would
honor themselves BY giving him the place.
Such an appointment at this time would
strengthen the Republican party in Kansas,
and be an earnest demonstration OF long
promised reform. Henry Cook has name
and character which would help us at
this juDcture. The Office il the most lucra-
tive in the State, or We doubt if Cook would
give up his extensive Law practice to accept
position of that KIDD We hope it will be
rendered to him, and that he will accept

In your paper of the Goth inst. notice
IN extract iron the Chicago Tribune which
docs great injustice, not only to certain in
dividuals of our county, but to our entire
country, in this, that it puts us in false
light before the good people Of the East, and
las you say in commenting on the article)
the writer is most assuredly in error. We
hope not wilfully, though the wording of
the extract seems to denote a general disre-
gard for truth and common sense
The extract starts out in this wise, near
Beloit, little town in western Kansas, the
grasshoppers injured part of the crops of
ter farmers. Now who could be so igno-
rant as not to know that the whole entire
corn crop of western Kansas was totally de-
stroyed, without even so much as leaving a
single ear to tell the tale, and who 80 ignO-
rant as not to know that in these new set
tied counties the corn cropwas the chief de-
pendence of the settlers, both for their own
maintenance and that of their cattle,
horses, hogs, chickens, &c, &c. The writer
xoes on to say that few self-cOnstituted
agents having letters drawn up by themsel-
YES setting forth an exaggerated account Of
the destitution of our people. That their
letters were endorsed by the town authori-
ties through the influence Of demagugue.
That with these documents they started

clashing OF hand manner, says that they
finally arrived at Cincinnati, where they
created 6rst-claa sensation, and after do
ing thus and 20 moved on east like the
graxhopper, it further says that the Beloit
authorities got alarmed on account of the
immense quantities of relief being shipped
into the country, and called . meeting to
take into consideration the necessity Of re-
pudiating these agents, and were only de-
terred from 20 doing through fear Of sfuiti-
fying themselves. He furthe- states that .
general feeling Of cupidity prevails in this
section Of the State. 1 suppose he means
to convey the idea that We have satiated
and giutted ourselves, 0vereaten of eastern
bounty, and have in consequences thereof,
become dominant We say for shame
an article like il. And the
only excuse he could make for 70 doing
would be total and absolute ignorance Of
the subject this, we, in charity, accord to
him, trusting that in the future he will only
