SMITH "ON IT."-C. W. johnson and W. 4
Smith had street unpleasantness in Atchison,
on Monday. No serious damage done. The fra
cas- grew out of Johuson's opposition to the re-
election of Judge Hubbard. Smith is Hubbard's
brother-in-law, and is editing the Atchison CHAM
pion during Col. Martins absence, making it a
blow-gnn for Hubbard, and consequently increas-
ing its popularity muchly in this part of the
State. He also seems to feel it to be his duty to
whip those who think that Hubbard is not fit for
the position which he holds. This is the same
young rooster who elected Greeley, four years
ago, and who was jerked up at Grasshopper
Falls, for secretly conveying Q revolver to Q
horse-thief under arrest, to enable him to mur-
der the officers and make his escape. We believe,
instead of whipping the officers who arrested
him, he commenced suit for false Imprisonment,
but it never came to IN ISSUE If Hubbard would
only start the whole family out on the war-path,
to disable all his opponents, he would have
sure pop on q reelection.

DEMocRAIIc- TAczIcs.-Several prominent
Democratic lawyers in this Judicial District are
said to be taking an active part in favor Of
Judge Hubbard's aspirations for denomination;
and of one, especially, it is said that he has in
terested himself in getting up testimonials in
favor Of Hubbard, at recent terms in several o.
the Counties. Some of them have let out tho %
cret. They say that Hubbard is 30 unpopular,
that If they can only encourage the Republicans
to nominate him, they will bring out an able
Democratic lawyer, who has for several years
been out Of politics, and can elect him. This
will also account for the interest which the
Atchison Patriot is taking to show that that there
is bound to be Republican bolt on the Judge
ship.

a We have heard of the Kansas delegates,
on their winding way. They were in st. Louis,
Saturday, together with the Colorado delegation.
The joint delegations sent q despatch to Blaine,
congratulating him upon his 6ght against the
confederstes in front and Republican bush
whsckers in the rear, and assuring him of their
enthusiastic support. By some, the Colorado
delegation has been counted doubtful, and BY
al, at least . portion has been regarded as op-
posed to Blaine. This seems to place il in . diff.
ferent light.

The Harris Case,

Some Of Judge Hubbard's warmest supporters
in Brown County have said that if it could be
proven that the Judge did as the Chief reported
relative to granting Harris q new trial, it would
kill him too dead to try to resurrect. They can
rely upon it that it occurred as related in these
columns-with the exception that it was given in
too mild terms. The circumstances were sub
stantially these:
Contrary to the expectation Of everybody who
heard the evidence, Gncluding the Prosecutin
Attorney but under the instructions OF Judge
Hubbard, the jury brought in q verdict of man
slaughter in the third degree. Mr.. W. W. Guth-
rie, attorney for defendant, made motion for
new trial. Judge Hubbard made reply in ef-
feet that he did not feel that the facts and cir
cumstances justified granting new trial, but if
the Atchison and Nebraska Railroad Company
would pay the costs up to that stage of proceed
ings, he wonld grant the new trial. Guthrie re-
piled that he could not see what the Atchisou
and Nebraska Railroad Company had to do with
it, as they were not . party to the suit but If
that was the price of Q new trial, he would pay
the costs out of his own pocket Very well,
said Hubbard; if the defendant would pay the
costs of the proceedings to date, new trial
would be granted. Guthrie asked the Clerk to
figure up the costs, and drew his check for the
amount This was at the December instead of
the September term, as stated it the other
time.] When the case was called, at the March
term, the County Attorney raised the point, th at
the condition of a new trial was the payment of
all back costs, and that all had not been paid.
Guthrie said that he had paid the amount re-
ported by the Clerk, but if there was anything
still back, he was ready to pay it then and there
The trial proceeded, and Harris was acquitted
Literally, Harris was compelled to buy justice
The first verdict, it was generally conceded, was
not just; and he obtained q new hearing only
by paying for it.
What proof is requiredi The record of the
Court does not show all the remarks that were
made, but simply the fact that new trial was
granted, the defendant paying accrued costs.
Every lawyer present, and the officers of the
Court, will verify the foregoing statements. But
if the people of Brown or Nemaha want positive
evidence. We believe they all have got confidence
in W. W. Guthrie. He was an actor in the affair.
We are willing to leave the matter to him, and
accept as correct what he says about it. Now,
apply for the proof.

z One of Hubbards' warmest supporters at
Sabetha, gave IS the principal reason why Hob
bard ought to be reelected, that if beaten for
Judge, he could not make living prscticing

know enough law to make living by the prac-
tice of the profession, make him Judge, and
place the interests of an entire District at his

would be willing to sign a petition asking that

FACE THE MUsIC.-Here are the facts that we
propose to rub under the noses of those strictly
honest and incorruptible individuals who divide
their time between denouncing lottery swindles
and eulogizing Judge Hubbard. These facts are
all from authentic sources and from the record,
and Hubbard or his supporters dare not face the
music:
Judge p. L. Hubbard was one of the original
organizers of the scheme called the Kansas La nd
and Immigrant Association, more commonly
called the Atchison Lottery, He was sworn in
as q Director, and was elected President, and for
a short time performed the duties of that Office,
as first President With his full knowledge and
consent, his name went into the charter, as one
of the incorporators. This charter is now on
file in the Office of the Secretary of State and al
copy will shortly be published in these columns
He had agreed to furnish one thousand dollars
in money, each member being required to put up
that amount. He gave list of the property he
was to put in, and it was entered upon the
books; but when the time came for putting in
the cash, he said he could not raise one thousand
dollars; and this was the reason he assigned for
wishing to withdraw, and no other reason.
Though withdrawing, he gave explicit counte--
nance to the thing, by permitting his name to be
used rs reference, by special pernissioa.

BLAINE hasn't captured the Cincinnati Com

his popularity again to-day by taking possession
of the Judiciary Committee and sitting in judg-
ment upon it. He investigated 1t very thorough

the rules of evidence. He proved that Mir. Knott
had acted unwisely in the matter of the Caldwell
telegram, and that certain Democratic members
of the committee had been rather ndiscreet in
their efforts to catch him. Beyond this the ef-
feet of his unparalleled proceeding only 10 win
applause for his audacity. The scene was anus
ing. Blaine sat upon the committee table and
cateehised the members one by one. When they
declined to show their records, ON the ground
that they had no right to do so, he coolly seized
the book and helped himself, with the remark
that he would take the responsibility himself.1
