Law For The Masses.

The Political, Personal and Property Rights of a
Citizen of the United Stdtes-HOic to exercise and
hOU to preserre them: BY Theophilus Parsons,
LII. ID. Jones Brothers g. Co., 81. Loais, No.
1t is with much pleasure that we greet the ap-
pearance of this lOng-expected work from the
gifted pen of our greatest legal commentator.
When we reflect how essential to the welfare and
prosperity of every citizen is an intelligent un-
derstanding, both of the principles which under
lie our government and the laws which affect all
social and business relations, we at once feel
the necessity of some method by which this
knowledge can be placed within the reach and
comprehension of all For this purpose was
RIGHTS OF A CITIZEN" written, and no one
who will examine its contents can fail to be con-
WINGED that the Author has fully attained his
object.
Prominent among the distinguishing features
of the work, the articles upon the COnstitu-
tion of the United States, and each of the several
States, the Legislative and Executive branches
of our Government, the right of Citizenship and
Suffrage, the writ of Habeas Corpus, Personal
Security, &C., &C., and q vast fund of informa-
tion of the highest value concerning business
transactions of every possible nature.
The Author has avoided the use, as far as pos
sible, of the dry phraseology of the law, which
tends but to perplex and embarrass the ordinary
reader, but while rejecting the dry husk he pre-
sents the rich kernel of profound legal lore.
We regard the appearance of the work as most
timely, inasmuch as it will fill niche long va
cant in our literature. Our readers cannot do
better than to obtain a copy and profit by its
contents.

A GoOD IDEA.-It has just struck us with stun
ming force. Doniphan County cannot, in this
grasshopper year, make such showing at her
Fair she could desire, and should look ont for
other attractions to draw crowds and make mon
ey. We must secure first-class murderer to de-
liver the address. JEFF. Davis has too many en-
gagements ont already, and there is no hope of
getting him here. But our fair will be of small
er proportions than those that he will grace with
his presence, and We must be content to do hon.
or to the hero of fewer and less cOld-blooded
atrocities. We have it! We can depend upon a
Kansas production, even in that particular. Let
us hunt up old Bender, and secure him for the
occasion. 1t will be a big thing. Publish it far
and near, that old Bender will be present at the
Doniphan County Fair, and address the people
on that occasionI

PAY FOR SLAvEs-A friend in Texas sends us
a copy of the San Antonio Herald of May p, 1875,
from which extract the following article,
which we commend to the attention of our read
ers. The Southern papers are filled with just
such suggestions that embodied in the closing
extract:
"EX-PREsIDENT JEFFERSON DAvIs.-lt must
be exceedingly gratifying to every true South
erner to learn of the continued ovation rem
dared TO this distinguished and patriotic states
man. From the moment he touched the soil of
Texas, at Galveston, at Houston, at Austin, at
Dallas, at Brennan, crowds of people of all clas-
ses and conditions made the welkin ring with
their acclamations. JEFF. Davis has become the
representative man of Southern feeling and
Southern ideas. He is capable, yet, of aceem-
pllshlng q vast amount of good. No Southern
man doubts that the people possessed the innate
and the Constitutional right TO do what they did,
IN their attempt to resist oppression, and in ap-
pealing to the arbitrament of the sword, success
would have only given the physical ability to
nave maintained them-whereas discontinue en-
tailed upon us the loss-of the right of secession
and the right to hold negroes as slaves, but it
aid not abrogate our right to indemnity from
the Government for depriving us of our property.
Our political rights are now distinctly defined
and recognized, and the day is not far distant
when the Government will pay us for our slave
property OF which we were forcibiy despoiled."

D- knot of Democrats were heard convers-
ing of the political situation in the County, the
other day, when one of them remarked, that un-
less the Farmers nominated ticket, no Demo-
crat would stand any show this Fall. 1t was
further remarked, that the Farmers would not
hold Convention, unless the Republicans did.
Perhaps it would be just as well to hold no Con-
vention, and elect men upon their merits; but
has it come to the pass that the Farmers organ
ization is simply a cat's-paw to be used by Dem
ocratic oflice-seekersi 1t is time that Republican
Grangers were considering for what purpose they
are being used. But we think that most of them
have already considered, and are out of the cats
paw business. An important election occurs
next year, and it is time the Republicans were
getting their forces in hand.

KEEPING IT ALvE.-We hear a good deal
about the people of the SOuth accepting the sit
uation, and desiring to be loyal, Union-loving
citizens. A jour. printer, who lately tramped
through the South, told us little story, the 9TH
er day, which illustrates the feeling of the peo-
pie ali over the south. He worked for a few
days at Frank lin, Tennessee, which many Kan
sas soldiers will remember as the place where
the rebels under Hood received such whaling.
On Sunday, he attended the Sabbath School.
After the lessons were said, the Superintendent
called upon the teachers of classes, one by one,
for their several reports on the department of
their classes. 1t ran thus-eaeh teacher maxim g
report, as called upon:
"Mr. -, what has been the department of
JEFF. Davis Glass :"
"Mr. -, what has been the department of
Robert Z. Lee Class9"
"Mr. -, what has been the department of
Stonewall Jackson Glass;"
"Miss --, what has been the department
of Beauregard Classr'
"Miss -, what has been the department
of Robert Toombs Classi'
"Miss - what has been the department
of Baxter Bragg Classl"
Miss -, what has been the department
of John Morgan Classl"
And this is the use to which Sunday Schools
in the South are put-to instil into the minds
of the little children the spirit of the Lost Cause,
and keep alive the memory of the leaders in the
rebellion.

WHY Is ITf-Why is it that JEFF Davis is be-
ing invited to address agricultural fairs at points
all over the Northi 1t is not that he knows a
great deal about farming, or can teach the farm
ers of the North anything, who have always done
their own farming and have not depended upon
slaves to do it. 1t is not that the people have
expressed desire to see and hear him. There
is a deeper reason at the bottom of it. The De-
mocracy, having met with large success within
the past year, now propose to take another step
toward the great end which they have in view,
to re-establish the power of the Southern rebels
to do this, they wish to make the people of the
North familiar with the great chief of the rebel
lion; then they will labor to make them admire
and respect him; and finally, to look up to and
follow him. The surest way, is to foist him upon
the farmers, aud ingratiate him in their favor.
We shall see how far they can succeed. While
banded together for their mutual interest and
Improvement, will they allow themselves to be-
come the tools in working out the designs of
those enemies to free labor and free Government

KENo!-W. H, smallwOod, of the waterville
Telegraph, who spent the past week at the St.
Joseph Exposition, gambling, found time, before
leaving home, TO leave an article on the copy
hook abusing us personally, for defending ourself
from an attack by him, upon question which
did not concern him. He now saddles upon his
partner the articles by which he provoked us to
reply. 1t is mighty convenient to have a part
ner upon whom to saddle such little things,
when he finds it desirable to creep out of the re-
sponsibility. This man Smallwood would have
spoken truly, had he said that we were his friend
for years. We have repeatedly helped him to
Office, and never asked him for any help in re-
turn; but having, by his own conduct, played
himself ont politically, and because we happen
ed to think that other men beside himself were
occasionally entitled to support, he has tortured
every little squib into personal slur upon him,
and gone off the handle accordingly Let him
run his billiards and his W heel of fortune-we
will attend to our business in our own way.
