Gov.osBoRN AND THE BOND RING

When the opposition newspapers COM
menced to abuse Gov. Osborn for his sup
posed connection with the Kansas bond
ring, THE TINES denounced their assertions
as false, and said that the story originated
in the mind Of Enoch Hoag, whose removal
the Governor was endeavoring to obtain.
The St. Louis Giabe had the manliness to
acknowledge its error, and exonerated Os-
bonn, but such sheets as the Kansas City
Times continued in their ypcalled for as
saults on the Governor. .
This gentleman having arrived home,
GtoJe correspondent called on him, and Os-
born states that the frauds were frst I'M
earthed by his Adjutant General, last fall !;
that he Immediately put prominent bank
ing houses on their guard against the
bonds, and that he has since been using all
the means in his power to apprehend the
perpetrators of the crime and bring them
TO justice. lie has succeeded in getting a
sufficient clue to the Harper county matter
to warrant the hope that the money will be
recovered and the swindlers caught
He declares that his whole course in this
matter has been one of active exertion
against the negotiation of the bogus securi-
ties, and that the fraudulent actions of the
county authorities were so shielded by the
peculiar law under which the bonds were is
sued, that he could have no knowledge Of
them, and was powerless to interfere where
the official records of transactions were cor
rect and complete on the face, as was the
case in every instance. He thinks that
most, if not all, the swindlers will in time
be caught, and all possible effort will be
made to recover money obtained for the
bonds, and to relieve the people of the vic
timized counties. by securing cancellation
of the bonds

A VOICE FROM TIE VALLEY.
A Tr;huta 70 the Dead

There is to-day fresh grave unepitaph-
ed upon the gr.en sol Of old Ireland. which
brings 10 our remembrance the sepuichre OF
the martyred Emmett. That green sward
in Its verdure, covers the mound where
sleeps the body of John MitcheI-peace to
his ashes. He fills a martyrs grave, vet
ha..owed in the merited affections of his
devoted friends and countr, men. He will
he gratefully rernembere by the genius Of
every lover oil frec,iuin.
knew him personally. Politically, he
stood apart from his predecessors, as he
never narrowed his patriotism to his
religious iaiib. He struck boldly for the
rights OF moiiIerland. He was in the strict
eft sense Of the ord, an Irish Democrat.
Truth and sincerity were the controlling
elements of his character But ah the
patriot Is released, and 80 it is with the in
tluence of a true patriot.
Yet, sooner or later, i hope to hear OF
other Mitchels, that NAV arise, or the red
hand Of an ONeil, TO come sweeping down
| the hills of Ulster, and strike down the
alien ruler.
John Mitchell now sleeps in the land he
loved so well. His memory will live as
long As Irish patriotism is appreciated.
What a character he has left to contem-
plate A true lover OF liberty, hater Of
tyranny, a patriot who sacrificed home
comfort, fortune, friends, wife and family
ties, and all for the noble achievement OF
his country's cause.
His soul, hope, is purified in the cruel
Bile OF sincere devotion 10 his oppressed
country. His voice is no longer heard he
has left us while in the discharge OF his
patriotic duty, and the more stern demand
Of political rights.
What sad calamity. Mitchell is dead
but, l hope that Providence may speedily
permit the blood Of this martyr to generate
into the SEED OF freedom, and may the Order
OF the Ancient Hibernians rise in the males
/ ty of It's might. and 80 consolidate power
as may answer the purity OF the motives
that has ever been the political object OF
that untiinching, uncompromising patriot

Words Fifty Spoken.

I. Dwight Thacher, who has had expe-
Renee to teach him, in noticing change
of ownership in the Leavenworth CONNER
cal, uses the following truthful language

seryation has extended two papers Of the par
" in politics do not get along well in the same To-
cality. They almost inevitably are driven into be-
coming the representatives Of ciques and factions,
and neither the public the party is well
served they would IL by papers Of opposite polti-
cal views. There are two parties in Kansas-and
but twO-the Republican AMI the Democratic. IL
would be better for Leavenworth If one Of her pa
pers represented one side and the other paper the
other"
Not only is this so in Kansas and Leav-
enworth, but generally. In Lawrence there
were two papers, and we think much OF
the detection and loss to the party strength
in Douglas county was owing To that fact
and the improved condition Of feeling
there, since the Journal, under Mr.. Thatcher
has been the only one that bears US out in
the opinion. We know that much of the
bitterness that formerly existed in the Re.
publican ranks in Kansas City was trace
able to the same cause. And the beginning
and progress of the present bitter factional
fight in the Democratic party here, had its
origin and finds its food from the same rea-
son.
In st. Louis, the unfortunate quarreIs of
the Democrat and GLo5e, not only keep the
party demoralized in that city, but il has
exercised a very bad influence and brought
about bad results in the State And the
rivalries between the Republioan, Tunes and
Dispatch have been the cause Of the present
disgraceful condition Of the factions OF the
Democratic party-libel suits, legislative
rows, civil suits, challenges, pistols, bloody
noses, and hatreds that will last through
the lives Of the parties TO them.
In ST. Joseph, too, some years ago, two
Republican papers disturbed the party
throughout the whole Northwest-where
now under one there is concord and good
feeling.
There are facts abundant to sustain the
position of Mr.. Thacher, and they should
not be lost upon either leaders or the mass
es Of the par,y.-K. q. Journal.

TWO MURDERS.

A short time ago, the Kansas City Times
mentioned a little political row that occur
ed in this city on election day, and took
occasion to exult over it, saying that a row
WAS always to be expected at Kansas
election. This We regard as rather brazen-
faced, when we recollect that the telegraph
on Wednesday morning brought US the news
of one murder in that town, and yesterday
mornings papers also inform us that Bar
ney Crasson has died from injuries received
on the day when rich and poor alike exer-
else the franchise. We think Kansas City
had better keep quiet, two murders on one
day ought to shame its papers into silence.

NOT GUILTY

The Fort Scott Sentinel is considerably
elated, over the happy termination OF its
libel suit. The SHiiad called some fellow,
named Goode, forger, and it seems, that
to restore his good name, he had resource
to the courts. "Not guilty" was the YER
dict, and it must please every honest man
in Kansas. This is a time when corrup-
ton needs to be exposed, and the masks
torn off of designing scoundrels. A free

An IMPORTANT CENSUS.

Our State has been greatly injured by the
reports that have gone abroad, regarding
the destitution in our midst. The grass
hoppers, the chinch bugs and the drouth,
have.done us almost irreparable harm. How
ever, if We have good crops and bounti-
full harvest, We will be saved. Everything
at present lead us to believe that this hone
mAy yet be realized. But we are compelled
TO admit that Kansas weather, like her
politicians, cannot be relied ON, for while
it smiles it threatens, and before we are
prepared it thunders. We must let the flu
ture take care of itself, and see to it that
We leave nothing undone at the present
that would tend to place us in a better
light before the people of the East. Let us
convince them that our State is not depopu-
lated, and that there vet
are other beings within our limits in addi-
ton to buffalos and coyotes. In short, let
them know that there are numbers who
have not vet lost confidence in the Central
arc '"oee VINO SUI oe-
Ieve that bright and prosperous future lies
befor use. To do this We must look after the
