No Crime Committed,

After all the fuss and sensation Of the
Union about an unnatural crime" and one
of the most diabolical in detail ever
heard in any court in this city or vicinity, "
ETC., the charge against Henry Sinkley, for
ravishing two little girls--the children of
his mistress-has been withdrawn. Ken
worthy and Beardsley we're employed by
Sinkley, and they employed DR.. Truesdale
to make a professional examination of the
children, which resulted in showing that the
charge was false, as it was absolutely i'm.
possible for Sinkley or anyone else to have
committed the crime. States Attorney
Parmenter then refused to prosecute the
case, and the prisoner was discharged
The whole thing was plan of the mother
of the girls, to enable her to get rid of hel
paramour-Sinkley-by whom she ha:
had three children.

The Republican county central commit
tee. backed by large Republican meeting
at Leavenworth have formally read COL
D. r. Anthony and the newspaper which
he owns and edits, out of the party. The
grounds for this action are that Col. An
thony refused to support the Republi-
can ticket in said county ''or to allow his
paper to support it, Notwithstanding the
Republican party have supported him and
his paper" and that such behavior has
tendency to demoralize and weaken the
power of the party throughout the state,
and to lessen the respect of the party for
the national administration. A copy Of
the resolutions containing the above ex-
tracts has been forwarded to the senators
and representatives from Kansas, and to
the president and postmaster general.
All of which goes to show the beauty OF
being IAN organ, and the sort of collar
which editors and proprietors must wear
around their necks in order to secure and
retain the dirty thing called party pat
ronage," We are glad to know that the
time has gone by when any respectable
journal will endure such bondage at any
price, ojournal can achieve permanent
success unless it is, to all intents and pur-
poses, independent. 1t may have, must

be warmly advocated at all proper times
and in all proper ways; but the instant it
becomes the recognized tool and mouth.
piece of any party, pledged to support that
party in all works, good or bad, that very
instant it's doom is sealed. 1t is hence
forth at the mercy of every knave and foo
