TO THE SUFFERERS.
Some Facts o; Interest Obtained from Fort
LeayeIVorth.

AfSs'S&<~
In consequence of the great number of
letters received from persons in the eastern
counties Of the State, applying for aid from
the government, and of the erroneous i'm
preston which seems TO prevail among the
applicants, that the money appropriated by
Congress, in February last, is sufficient to
supply all the poor people in the State with
food during the Summer, We are requested,
for their information, to publish the follow
ing facts, obtained from Department Head
quarters, Fort Leavenworth.
The appropriation made by Congress was
for the relief OF those only who had been
rendered destitute by ravages Of grasshop-
pers. The total amount appropriated was
only $4,000, for the relief of the
sufferers in the Departments Of Dakota,
Of the Platte and of the Mis-
souri,. One-third of the. whole amount
$50, 900 has been received for the Depart
ment of the Missouri. Most of this sum has
already been expended in the purchase Of
food for distribution among the destitute in
the frontier counties, west of Fort Riley,
where it was believed the greatest destitu-
ton existed. More than fifty thousand per-
SOM, duly enrolled, have already been, or
are now being issued to in this State, from
the food so purchased, and it can therefore
be easily understood how very little each
one can receive, even if no more counties
are included. A few counties east of Fort
Riley (but none further east than Nemaha
and Lyon counties) have lately been added
to the list, but it is not probable, consider
ing the amount Of money received, and the
great number of people to be supplied in
the district already included, that the older
and richer counties in the eastern part of
the State, can be reached.

Sneaks and CoWards.

The Typographical Union OF this city
have, in the past few years, committed
many wanton and malicious acts. The
startling news of yesterday morning was
in part owing to the revengeful and cow
ardly assaults made by these men. They
seek to stab in the dark. Only few years
ago, when the Bulletin had the indepen-
dence to attempt to manage its own af-
fairs, its foreman was brutally assaulted
and cruelty beaten, for no other CT line than
the one Of desire to earn an honest living.
Only the other day these dastardly sneaks
sent word to compositor in the Chronicle
Office, in Washington, ID. c., informing HIM
that his wife was sick. He left in haste,
found his wife well, and, in his attempt to
return to the Chronicle office, was met by the
towards who, by threats, attempted to
disuade him from returning. When The
TINES employed nom Union printers, the
Union of this city met, passed resolutions,
printed circular naming the printers who
worked in this office, denounced
them as "rats," abusing them in
terms indecent and cowardly. No Ian
ions of the cowardly pimps and whelps
who in the secret meetings of the printers
unions will meet, pass resolutions, and is
sue circulars which no honest or decent
man would acknowledge. A publication of
the circular issued BY them at that time,
and circulars issued BY them since, would
be sufficient to condemn them in the ewes Of
every fair man in the community.

1t il Now Believed That he Did not Com
NIT Suicide, but Internationally Took an
Overdose.
A feeling of sadness exists in the entire
community over the sad death Of Mr.. J. S.
Coulter. The papers stated yesterday that
he had Intentionally taken his own life, but
his most intimate friends did not believe
that he would commit such an act, and
hence endeavored to ascertain if he had
been in the habit of taking any opiates.
Mrs. Coulter has been very i'll during the
past winter, and has been confined to her
bed much of the time. The nurse who at
tended her says that she has often seen Mr..
Coulter, when feeling i'll or sad, take laud-
anum or some other opiate, and that she
knew that at night he would very often 60
down town and visit drug store for the
purpose, as she always thought, of obtain
ing some narcotic Such being the case, it
is supposed that Mr. Coulter, feeling de-
pressed and sad, and not having slept any
since he had heard that the contemplate
men composing the Union Committee, had
issued circular denouncing him as a de-
faulter, wished to obtain some rest, and
when taking the laudanum, took an over
dose. Those who knew him best believe
firmly that he would not do an unchristian
act, and hence are certain that the facts ere
substantially as We have stated them.

ABOUT TAXATION OF MORTGAGES.

EDITOR TIMEs-The proper valuation of
property for purposes OF taxation has been
discussed in and out of Legislative halls
time out of mind, and the present system
as adopted in nearly all civilized States
and communities-basedu upon actual IN
trinsie value, meets with general approval.
Our State OF Kansas claims and exercises
the right to levy taxes on all property lex
cept churches, &c. as provided by statute.
There can be no doubt that a mortgage is
property representing value. Now A. buys
land, paws portion of purchase money,
and receives deed-giving b. mortgage for
amount remaining unpaid. The land be-
longs to A., and from it he supports his
family, or receives an income: therefore,
our Constitution, section l, article NJ, re-
quiring that uniform rate of taxation
shall he provided for, whence comes this
legislation and annual discussion about ex-
empting mortgages? Now, again: Mort
cages being property" representing value,
and section 2, article Nj, of our Kansas
Constitution saying that the Legislature
shall provide for taxing "money loaned"
now COIlits IL that We nave all annual WASTE
of ink about mortgages being exempted
or taxed?
But, Mr.. Editor, the illustration is be-
fore US all. Let us look at it, and then see
how we like it. Mr. B., before referred to,
having loaned to A., and "all the rest of
'em, down to Zed," the balance of the pur-
chase money on their land, soon becomes,
as he can afford to, "a good fellow" and
then perhaps banker, or at least, a candi-
date for Representative from ward,
or Senator from the 'destrick,' either, both,
or all. Furthermore, he has long been, or
soon will become, shining light in Broth
er IS church on - street, also a tenn
perance man in general way, or specially !;
and being withal, mind you, "a good fel-
low" he can easily get through his little
bill for the exemption of mortgages from
taxation, because that brings capital to our
State, dye see Boy? This is what Mr.. B.
calls business, and it has been so called in
Kansas long enough. The Assessors are
now supposed to be executing the law I'M
der bond and oath, therefore, 1 would say
to all parties loaning money on mortgages !:
"Woe unto you who swear that you have
them not ~ or, you may hear again from
JUNIUs.

A Sufferer" Speaks.

EDITOR TINES Here l am in Kansas at
last. Not obliged to work. Grasshoppers
plenty. Sympathizing friends in the East
more so. Plenty to eat, and young crop of
grasshoppers thriving. Stir 'em up, Mr..
Editor-not the grasshoppers, for they are
lively, but our eastern friends. One more
good crop Of grasshoppers, and respectable
drought-on paper-and our fortunes are
made. Stir 'em, repeat, and I'll stay an
other year with you. No more working for
two dollars day. l staid in Nebraska I'M
til l got the govt, and then lit out for Kan
sas. Tell our eastern friends that the next
lot of champagne they send us should be q
little dryer. Sweet champagne gives govt.
My brother, who is also great sufferer -
has just sold his corn crop for 90 cents per
bushel, and rented one of his farms for
$1,000 year. He is going to Europe next
summer, when it is said that grasshoppers
are not so plenty. SUFFERER.

they can reach their destination with the
