The venerable Thurlow Weed gave as
his reasons for leaving the meeting of
the Independents in New York while
Mr.. Adams WAS speaking: II differed
with Mr.. Adams radically on important
points. He animadverted severely upon
the course of Republicans who, brought
JEFF. Davis into the present discussion,
with the intention of using him in the
campaign. He thinks it mwise to do SO.
] disagree to that. 1 propose not only
now, but all my life to utilize JEFF. Davis
and'all men of his stripe, like. Slidell,
Mason, BENJAMIN and the rest, Senators
and Representatives, and officers of the
Republic. In this way l think JEFF:
Davis may be made to do some compen-
sation for the crimes he committed"

WHEN the opening ceremonies of the
Centennial took place it was telegraphed
throughout the country that there were
at least 100000 persons present to
witness them, but when the gate receipts
were summed up the next day it was
found that the actual number present
did not exceed $4,000, and for several
succeeding days the attendance did not
average $4,000. The attendance SO far
has not been as great as was anticipated
by the managers, railroad companies and
the great army of vultures who haye
gathered at PHILADELPHIA for the purpose
of fleeing unsuspecting patriots. Peo-
pie everywhere are universally disap-
pointed and Disguised with the high tar
i'll insisted upon by the railroads.

THE Atchison Patriot (Democratic), il
not pleased with the action of the late
Democratic State Convention. 1t says
The object of the convention was the
selection of ten delegates to the national
Democratic convention at st. Louis.
Had the convention done this and moth.
ing more it would have fulfilled its mis-
sion. In view of what it did do, it were
better that it had not been called. 1t
transcribed its duty, and made an ass Of
ITSELF 1t was not called for the purpose
of simply affording an opportunity to
Van Bennett and few bowling dema-
gogues like him, to split their Threats
yelling greenbacks, nor for the purpose
of debating to the national convention
what platform it should adopt or what
candidate it should select. But these
things tdid, and therefore we say it made
an ass of itself.

The great Independent Greenback
convention held at indianapolis last
week was one of the most complete polit.
icai fizzles on record. Peter Cooper was
rendered the nomination for President,
but he declined it was then offered to
Senator Booth, who likewise refused to
accept it not believing their doctrines.
So the party to-day is without leader,
and a. an organization without influence.
In this campaign there will be but two
parties in the field and independents
must take their choice between the two.

THE Independents who recently met
in New York and announced themselves
so independent that they didn't care
which party they cast their lots with
so the Presidential candidate suited
them, have been pretty severely criticised
during the past two weeks by both Re-
publican and Democratic journals. Their
position is somewhat ridiculous, and yet
it is an undeniable fact that such men as
Adams, Schurz, and other leading Lib
erals, are very desirable additions to
either party.

A LARGE party of home-seekers, fouI
car loads, came into the State by way Of
Kansas City last Thursday. They were
mostly farmers from Micigan, Wiscon-
sin, Indiana and Illinois. The fact is
being realized throughout the country
that no State ever offered greater induce.
ments to immigrants than does Kansas
at this time, and we believe that more
people will make their homes in our
State during this year than in any year
since its organization. Cheap lands with
access to the markets, good society,
schools and churches, delightful eli
mate and fertile soil are among the
advantages Kansas offers to the home
seeker. Come to Kansas.

THE war on crooked whisky in Cali.
fornia continues to be prosecuted with
great vigor. The system of crookedness
there seems to have been the same as that
which prevailed in St. Louis, excepting
that it was conducted with more bold
ness. Efforts have been made by the
thieves to buy off the officers engaged in
the prosecution, but the prosecution
continues with favorable results to the
government. If Secretary Bristow is not
the next President of the United States
he should by all means continue in his
present position, but he deserves to be

PiTZHUGH.

Fitzhugh, who believed himself a "big-
ger man than old Grant" a few weeks
ago, was punctured by vote of the House
Of Representatives on .esterday after
noon, and instantly shrunk to the size of
an organ grinders monkey. The COM
mittee on rules reported that to retain
"Fitchew" as door keeper would bring
the House itself into ridicule and con.
tempt, and advised that the Office be
vacated and its duties transferred to the
Sergeant alarms. A resolution to that
effect was adopted, and the ex-oficial
who could scarcely squeeze his inflated
person through the door of the House in
the morning, could have crawled out
