THR Leavenworth Times of the 10th
inst. wants to know what the Kansas
City Times is going to talk about now
that the Kansas Legislature has adjourn
ed. The question is answered by the
latter journal of the same date in a long
editorial about the people of Kansas
which begins as follows: IA spirit Of
mendicancy seems to have seized the
people of Kansas. Every man in the
State imagines himself a beggar. and
seems willing-an anxious to receive aid
from some source regardless of the
amount of his property or his ability to
to procure livelihood by his own exer-
tons" The above must be very con-
soling to the supporters and admirers of
that paper in this State.

either party. the Republicans however
made some gains and claim victory but
the contest was so close that the election
has no great political significance, and

held on the fifth Of April-to Gee

Republican party will attempt to elect
Gen. Grant for the third term. The
next National Republican convention
will bury this hobby that has been 30

Caserism is, by no means the bane of the
present administration, but the failure
Of the President to publicly deny that
he is DESTROYS of third term mas done
much to weaken the Republican party.

DURING the hurry and hustle that
prevailed the last days of Congress an act
Mas passed allowing the members the

were recently admitted to the dress-circle

seated a couple of colored people in a
pew that was occupied by couple of
whites, who Immediately rose and left
