BITTERNESS AND MaLIGNITY.

Oar candidate for Governor was pursued
continuously from the opening of the can
vass to the closing of the polls, with Bit
terness and malignity without a parallel in
the history Of political campaigns, by both
personal and political enemies. Yet the re-
suit is sufficiently gratifying to fully repay
all unusual and extraordinary effort put
forth 10 meet and counteract The effect OF
such abuse.-Iapeka Commonwealth.
The bitterness and malignity" was all
on the side OF the candidate and his friends.
We know that all the lying was on their
side. There was no charge made against
George 7. during the campaign that was not
fully proved, and the Commonwealth knows
it; yet for the sake OF the drippings that
come into that Office in consequence of its
being located at the State capital, it is will
ing to stultify itself and sacrifice its friends
for the paltry dollar. The certificate of
the Clerk of Orleans county, \. y; the
certificate Of the Adjutant General of New
York, and the letter OF Hon. ii. S. Sickles,
all proved George I. liar, and it is worse
than criminal for any paper or any man TO
deny the fact.
Some papers have suggested that the
election is over aud the matter had better
now be dropped. THE TINES will say
amen TO this when the press admit the
truth, and not before. The TINES said
nothing but that which the editor thought
was true, and still believes to be true, and
knowing that the reputation of The TINES
is OF vastly more importance than any Gov
ernor's, it proposes to force the truth from
a venal and coxardly press.

WHAT THE HERALD THINKS

The New York HaGlFs Washington dis
patch, OF the 18th says there is no danger
of popular tumult during the count OF
the vote, for the Senate has the right to
close the galleries, and it go ordered in the
count Of lSol. "In my opinion" says the
correspondent referred TO, "Hayes is
elected. That is what the President be-
lieves, and the Republicans are going to
inaugurate him if he proves on the 14th OF
February TO have lS5 votes" They say:
"The Southern committees will not be
able TO show any cause why this should not
be done. AS to what the Democrats can do
about it, what can they do? We mean TO
move only by constitutional and legal
methods. 1t is all fndge about General
Grant holding over. He don't want to hold
over. but he means to put Hayes in the
White House, and then his duty will be
done. There is going TO be no occasion for
the Democrats stirring up revolts anywhere,
and If they did 50, they would put them
selves in the wrong. As to the next cleo
lions they will take care Of Themselves. Ii
Hayes is satisfactorily President the coun-
try will be content. 4 he is not, then the
Democrats will have their chance, and
they will make the most of it."
These" says the correspondent, "are
the views frankly expressed BY the Repub-
lican mani gers, and there is reason to be-
lieve they mean what they say"

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.

Our correspondent from Southern Kansas
is of the opinion that our Senators should
be in accord with our Congressman on the
financial question. There is no doubt but
that much of the legi.lation of the past has
been in favor of the money power. Every
effort is made to enhance the value of men.
eyed securities, while no one seems to Care
for the industrial interests of the country
We pay too high a rate Of interest on the
public debt. We ought net to hurry the
change Of our non-interest bearing indebt-
edness into an interest bearing bond. T.
stead of looking So closely after the welfare
of the bond-holder, let US see what can be
done to force the surplus funds Of the coun-
try into the industrial enterprises. Give
employment to labor, let the rich take care
Of themselves, let the Government encourage
and foster the great agricultural and me,
chanichal interests of the land, and our
word for it the era Of new life and prosper.
~ will come before we are aware OF il.

wYO HAS Changed

The Kansas City Times has been pitching
into Wilder, OF the St. Joe Herald, about
the Lappin business. Web. stood it till ii
began to be monotonous, and in the Herald
of yesterday morning he calls the attention
of the Times to the fact that the Auditor
had nothing to do with the fund which
Lappin stole, and then adds the following
"settler:"
Further, we opposed Lappins nonina-
ton as you did, publicly and constantly,
and voted against him. After he was elect.
ed We examined his Office and counted the
bonds and money in his hands every month
and were present when the last count was
made, ard he retired from Office to Jail
Every dollar over which We had any con.
troll was saved TO the State, as you very
we'll know. You were 30 much pleased
with our course that you repeatedly COM
mended it, and published an editorial arti
Gle in the Tines in favor of our nomination
for Governor. We have not changed since

STATE PRINTER.

Brother Taylor. of Wyando;te, would be
candidate for State Printer, but he is too
modest and can't resort to the base means
required in order to win. He has, there.
fore, concluded to support Brother Hanna.
TIE TINES would rest satisfied with either
Taylor or Hanna, or any other man equally
ssgood and deserving. The press of the State
seem to think that in consideration of the
fact that George Martin has always held
a Federal office until electsd State Printer,
and having held that Office two terms,
making piles of money out OF it, paying
Herman and Clark $4,000 each rs their
share OF the profits for the fret term only,
that some one else should have show at
the fat things.
This whining and begging business is
about played out, and there is no earthly
reason why the Office should not be e;ven 10
some good and true Republican, who will do
the work right and who is not biroted and
and selfish.

THE NEW SOUTH CAROLINA SENA.
TOR.

Major Corbin, the new United States
Senator from South Carolina, is said to be
Conservative Republican. he is native
of Vermont, about forty-eight years Of age,
and graduate of Dartmouth college of the
class of 1858. At the outbreak of the war
he raised company Of volunteers at
Wells River, where he was then practicing
law. He was unanimously elected captain,
was severely wounded in one OF the Vir-
ginia battles, and was taken prisoner and
confined in Libby prison. At the close Of
the war he was detailed by General Sickles
to the Freedmen's Bureau at Charleston,
and has since resided in South Carolina.
He has served six years in the Senate of
his adopted State, and he has four times
been appointed United States District At
torney of South Carolina, this being his
tenth year of service in that Office. He is
represented to be a man of unimpeachable
character, an able lawyer, a hard worker,
and personally very popular.

the IS zs.s STE . accommodate FIVE Or six
aouEtios.
The CI1risa inquiries: as Leagenworth
county II the STATE Of kaEsas?' and We
regard that as very pertinent question,
since not only the Ci4ri91 but few othes
papsrs, seem TO think that this county is
located in come ether State, and manifest
disposition ID treat il not only as for
eign, but hostile power. We hope the
time may soon come when such journals as
the tl1i0R VIII not only realize the fact
that LeayenwoIth county is in Kansas,
bat will conclude ID treat Us accordingly.
The remarks OF the Faindeaier and the
Clarion, on this Normal School matter af-
ford fair illustration OF the spirit OF petty
jealousy that is too often manifested toward
this county by other localities in the Safe.
II lie graf fying to know, however, that this
spirit is rapidly dying out-that there is
not as much OF il as there was some years
ago-but the good sense and the good judy
ment Of the people of the State ought to
prompt them 10 put an end to it entirely,
at once and forever. Leavenworth is the
largest city in the State, and there ia every
reason to believe 1t will always remain 60 !:
as its property increases in value its pro-
portion OF the State tax becomes larger,
and its prosperity is thus shared by the
whole people Of the State; whatever bene-
fits Leavenworth benefits Kansas, and what
ever is done TO the injury OF Leavenworih
simply helps to build up rival cities in
another State, which tax the people OF
Kansas for their support, without giving
anything in return. The people Of the
State generally have come TO realize these
facts, and it is only occasionally that the
old spiri, Of envy crops out, nowadays.
As to the Normal School matter, we have
no disposition TO oppose Emporia or Con-
cordia; reasonable sum could be well in
vested by the State in maintaining schools
at both these points, but If the Legislature
thinks it advisable to support but one such
institution, it shouldsupport the one which,
experience has demonstrated, will attract
the greatest number Of pupils, from the
greatest number of counties, and educate
them at the smallest expense 70 the State
As to which Of the points already tried
will best meet these requirements, we are
willing to let the record. decide.

vigorous effort in the Legislature this winter Tor tn

g.ai.SeGleT.
The editor OF the Plaiadealer must have been
constructed upon : very narrow pattern, If he can
permit his prejudice against JeaveRworth to lead
him to hope for the destruction Of the educational
interests Of the State. Let him novo to Miss
ssiPpi; his opposition to educational institutions
would be more popular down there; but the peo-
re Of Kansas believe in educstion.-Lcduenicorfl
4.Eses.
Yes sir, the people of Kansas believe in
education, but they do not believe in spend
the money which ought to be appropriated
for the advancement Of the educational in
tcrest of the State, for educating at the cost
of the State, the children of two or three
counties or cities. When it comes to ask
ing sixty-one out of sixty-six counties to
furnish the money to educate the children
Of the remaining five counties, it looks TO
the people very much like class legislation,
and any attempt by the incoming Legisla-
tuEe to re-apply those leeches again to de-
p!ete the Treasury will meet with stern
reouke IRON the taxpayers of the State

There doesn't seem to be any difference
Of opinion between the Clarion and The
TINES on this subject. We are both in ia
vor Of putting the Normal School whore il
will do the most good, and accommodate
the greatest number CT the people of the
State. The only difference between us
arises from a slight misunderstanding of
the facts in the case, upon the part of the
Carton.
The Normal School at Leavenworth
taught a greater number Of pupils than
both the other schools together, taught them
at less than one-half the expense per cap
ita, and its roll of scholars represents more
than twice as many counties as either of
the Others. If the C1arioa has .ny doub,
upon any of these points, it is respectfully
referred to the official records, which. !,
will find, bear us out in everything we have
said-and whether i. questions our state.

THE REVENUE COLLECTOR.

Thsre seems to be very general satisfac.
ton at the appointment of Hon. A. N
Blair, as Revenue Collector Of Kansas. He
is regarded SIS gentleman of integrity and
ability, who will discharge the duties of his
office with fidelity. There is another cause
of rejoicing at his appointment, arising
from the fact that at the last State Conven-
ton, this office was traded of TO other can
didates and to delegates in the convention,
for votes to nominate = Governor. And il
is gratifying to know that the men who
thus traded. failed to get the appointment.
The distinguished delegate, from Saline
will appreciate the joke.

A SHORT Crop.

A writer in last weeks Prairie Former,
Who had travelled over most of the corn
growing portions of Illinois, gives it as his
opinion that the corn crop of that State for
the present year is only about one-h-H Is
large as that of last year. He estimates
the total corn yield of 1876 at 10000. 900
of bushels, and adds: "The corn crop of
Illinois Is very short, shorter even than
that of 1874, and so short in some districts
and counties ~ to amount almost to ca
lamity-a loss to the farmers and pro-
ducers of the State equal to two or three
times the loss of the great Chicago FIRE"
