Iustice to a Faithful Servant.

Nov that the scramble for Office has commence
ed and every fellow who failed to get little
post-ofBce, or Land Office, or other coveted posi-
tion. through the influence of the member of
Congress from his District, is clamoring for a
change, it may he well enough to see whether
some credit marks are not also due to those who
have been serving in Congress 1t is at least
due to Col. Phillips, the member from this DIS
trict, to render him Justice. And without saying
q word against any man who aspires to his place,
we assert that Col Phillips has made labori-
ous. efficient member, and has attended faithful
ly TO the interests of his constituents. Since he
has been member, he has spent almost bis en-
tire time, both during the session and in vaca-
ton, at Washington, attending to duties IN
which the people of Kansas were concerned. he
has spent less time at home, or travelling around
fixing ND for his own reelection, than any men,
ber Kansas has ever had. Not question has
come up affecting the interests of Kansas, but
Col. Phillips has been an active worker and
speaker for the good of bis people. And now,
when we hear that the people are so much dis
satisfied with him, what reasons are given for
the dissatisfaction Is it that he has neglected
any interest of his State District, or has given
his influence against any such INTEREST," Not at
all. All the fault you can hear of is, that ne
promised men Office, and failed to fulfil his prom
ise; that he secured the removal or appointment
of some officer in way to displease those fellows
who think they have q right to dictate these
things; or that he didn't give post-office to
some little yelper, who kept up din for him two
years ago, and expected he would confer some
distinguished favor upon him in return, at the
very earliest opportunity. Only this, and moth
ing more.
Col. Phillips has taken an active part in the
various land questions of such vital interest t"
the people of Western Kansas. He did good
work in aid of Mr.. Rhea's bill approprating slO,-
900 towards the preliminary work of building
dykes to protect the river bank in this County,
adjacent to the st. Joseph bridge. He introduc-
ed and carried through the House bill equaliz-
ing soldiers bounties, similar to the one passed
before, which was vetoed by the President, to
the great injustice of thousands of brave soldiers.
We might enumerate other acts of Col. Phillips,
for which he deserves the endorsement of the
people of his District. His position on the cur
rency question meets the hearty approval of
thousands of his constituents.
We know that a Congressman has hard row
to hoe, in not being able to provide fat office
for every concerted being who happened to vote
for him, and makes enemies, as far as the infu-
ence of such persons extends. But Col. Phillips
has been faithful to every interest of his cOnstt-
uents as a whole, and unfathful to none, except
it be the personal interests of ambitious place.

A"GOoD ELECTIONEERER."-Wes see, by the
Seneca Courier, that Judge Hubbard is the " best
electioneerer in the District" We never knew
before that it was particular qualification for
the position of Judge, that he was good elec-
tioneeIer; but We have heard of some of his cleo
tioneering. He is now holding Court in Atchi-
son, treating all persons he can get to drink with
him in saloons, or take his cigars on the street.
We guess that is good electioneering; but is that
the man for Judgei Besides, we understand
that Judge Hubbard is not person who ordina-
rily treats men in saloons, or furnishes them with
cigars on the streets. But this is fine election
eering Won see!

Alamo Defence.

We have several times alluded to an article in
the Atchison Champion Of the 10th, published as
an editorial, but plainly the work of Judge Hub
bard, from the fact that cases alluded to by the
CHIEF, but not named, are named and discussed
in this article with familiarity that none but
Hubbard could possess. 1t is filed with false
hoods and misrepresentation, to make Hubbard's
case appear in a better light.
He refers to the Maynard case, and said 1t was
never submitted 70. decision. 1t was argued st
length by four lawyers, almost four years ago.
and Judge Hubbard took it under advlsemeh''
where he has still got it. Judge Horton was no'
in the case If Maynard has employed him ho"'
il is because he wants bis case closed sometime
before he dies, and is weary with waiting ior
Hubbard to make up his mind from the 'orlher
arguments.
The Miller case, at Palermo, is also mentioned.
Hubbard says the case was decided three years
ago, and was taken to the Supreme Conrt. This
In false. One Of the Charles Miller cases was
taken to the Supreme Court, but not the one we
smoke Of That case Hubbard has had under sd-
yisement so long that he has forgotten the whole
case. In the case we referred to, an injunction
was applied for and the whole issue rested upon
whether q certain charter should be admitted in
evidence. This question was warmly argu& ON
both sides, aud Hubbard took the matter un-
der sdyisement whether he would admit the ev-
idenes or rot. After waiting for years, Miller
wrote Hubbard, asking what he bad done about
it; to which Hubbard replied that he had really
forgotten all about it, but he believed he had de-
cided that Miller could not sue for anybody but
himself! The question, be it remembered, was
upon the admissibility of evidence, not upon the
right of Miller to sue for anybody but himself.
Hubbard also defends his action in the Harris
case, and says he has uniformly made the defend
ants in criminal cases pay the costs, thereby saw
ing the costs to the County. If person is ar
rested on criminal charge, and acq uitted, what
right has Judge to compel HIM to pay the costsi
In the Harris case, the Judge virtually said !:
" You have been convicted, but believe unjust
ly; but if you will pay the costs mp to this time,
you shall have another trial" Harris was COM
peeled to pay for Justice-not exactly to pay
Judge Hubbard, but to establish demagogue
reputation for him with the people, by impress
ing them with the idea that he wanted to save
their money. If Harris, by the rules of law and
Justice, was not entitled to q new trial, Hubbard
had no right to grant him one upon considers-
tion of his paying the costs. If he was justly en-
titled to a new trial, it was an outrage for Hub
bard to compel him to pay for justice, so that he
could call public attention to it, to show he was
saving the the peoples money. 1t is Judges
duty to dispense justice, as the law reqires, not
to make decisions for the purpose of causing the
costs to fall upon this side or that.

For ATToRNEY-GENERA name of Judge
Nathan Price, of this County, has frequently
been mentioned in connection with the Office of
Attorney General of the State. Judge Price has
not solicited the Office, nor asked the support of
any one. His claims have been voluntarily urg-
ed by friends in different parts of the State.
While not now soliciting support, he has con-
sented to be candidate, if u majority of the Re-
publican State Convention prefer him, he will
thankfully accept the honor. Judge Price is
known to be one of the best lawyers in the Stat.
strictly honest, always attentive to duty. and
never deserving his friends. He is every way
qualified to honor the position, and has rendered
long and valuable services to the Republican
cause, which deserve some recognition

p. L. Hubbard and the Lottery
Scheme.

The further charge that Judge Hubbard has ever be-
onged to any lottery is in every particular
The Atehlson Champion, of the goth, contains
an elaborate article in defence OF Judge Hub
bard, the same being undoubtedly the joint pro-
duction of Judge HnbLard and and w. r. Smith.
1he article shows mnch labor, and appears one
week after Hubbard knew that johnson had de-
maDded, in the Hiau atha Herald, republca-
tion of the Herald article of the 9th, with the
teleSrapbc correspondence attached. 1n the
Champion article, there was a good opportunity
TO tell the facts. The charges of the Chief are
plain, positive, and direct, that p. L. Hubbard
was a charter member of the Kansas Land and
Immigrant Association. Is that charge true or
false The charter, and first circulars and ad-
vertisements, will tell us whether it is 'lotte-
ry' or not. Much mental reservation may exist
IN denials like the above. The people believe it
was lottery, contrived ingeniously by three or
four shrewd lawyers, who probably took his
Honors judicial opinion, with intent to evoid it.
Its advertisement came to us as it came to many
other papers in the State, worded in dubious
guise, backed by host of references, that the
concern was all right. We advertised it, just as
we OUld advertise patent medicines, or any
thing else. But Judge Hubbard knew what was
the original Plan. Will he publish in Atehison,
where he can be held to facts, just what was the
plan when he went into it I; just what was the
change of plan which caused him to retire, and
when made |! If he does not do this, nor justify
the concern ns right, as it is constituted, then
let him remain silent, aud the people will know
what his answer il, and how to reward him for
his folly.

70 The Convention of the 2d Congressional
District met at Fort Scott, last week, and on the
26th ballot, nominated Dudley G. Haskell, of
Lawrence, to step into Goodn's "Old Shoes

worker; bnt We are thinking that this being
Presidential election year is all that will save
the District to th. Republicans. The Usage
Land Settlers are the mo st important element to
be satisfied in that District. Naturally, they
are mostly Republicans; but things have been
in such shape for few years past that this
force has been welded against the Republican
party. Senator Smons, while being sound Re-
publican, has been identified with the cause of
the settlers, and is very popular with them. He
has more ability than Haskell, and good policy
would have given him the nomination.

that Maj. N. A. Adams, of Manhattan, is looming
up strongly as q candidate for Governor. Mai.
Adams is an old resident Of Kansas, full of ener-
gy and life, and of that go-ahead style that the
growing State of Kansas needs. He is such a
man as will make himself popular with those
whom be comes in contact with; and now that
he is on the track, we look for him to stir things

Y The st. Louis Convention met Tuesday.
The Cincinnati Convention completely upset
their calculations they having planted their
batteries in position for shooting mud at Blaine.
Now they dom: know what to do, and none of
them know what they will do. Many Of them
want to nominate Gen. Hancock, in the vain
hope of fooling loyal men from the support of
Hayes; but Tilden's friends still think that his
barrel of money will win.

IL As we indicated last week, the hireling
Hessian of the Atchison Courier has come out for
Hubbard. He gives as a reason, not any special
regard for Hubbard, but desires his nomination
in order to lessen Gurhries chances for Congress.
He holds that if Hubbard is nominated, it will
create opposition to Atchison having the Con-
gressman also. And he is correct in this reason
ing. Hubbard doesn't care upon what grounds
he receives support, SO that lie has it. Guthrie's
friends should begin to appreciate the point, be-
fore it is too late.

An Outrage Upon Justice.

Judge Hubbard's sessions of Court at AtchisoD
are becoming notorious for their burlesques and
outrages upon justice. Ex-Treasurer Smith, of
Leavenworth County, was being tried in Atchi-
son, upon q change of venue. Last Friday morn
ing, after the testimony had been concluded, all
the attorneys but one had made their arguments,
and the case was almost ready to submit to the
jury, the Atchison Champion, then under the edit
orial charge of Judge Hubbard's brother-in-law,
who, it might almost be said, is a member Of the
Judges household, contained an article on the
trial, in which the following language occurred ::
THE impression is that the State has failed make
and If the jnry shall decide Mr. Smiths honora
our city"
Here was hint to an Atchison jury, publish
ed just in time to be read by them before going
into Court to receive their chrage, that the State
had failed to make case, and that if they would
bring in verdict of acquittal, the people of
their city would heartily approve the act. Was
there ever q greater outrage upon justicei The
leading paper of Atchison, one day containing an
editorial by Judge Hubbard, advocating his own
election, and the next day, an editorial by
of his family, intmating to jury of their city,
But they must bring in a verdict of acquittal!
Smiths defalcation about SO 600, and it was
of vital Importance not only to himself, but to
his wealthy bondsmen, that he should be acquit-
ted. What did it cost them to obtain this semi
official charge to the jury by the Judges home
organ, edited by his brother-in.law, who, Col.
Martin says, edited the paper to his entire salts
factioni When murderers are turned loose with
81 fine, or no fine at all, aud when the Judges
personal organ, before the conclusion of the
guments, directs the jury to acquit man
charged with stealing s7o,oO0 of the peoples
money, do the people endorse the boast that
we will see that Judge Hubbard is re elected,

II The Kansas Herald thinks johnson should
have had the Herald article on Lottery gamblers
and the kilograms published in the Atchison pa

may have practice; and that the Patriot folks
are counting confidently on having Hubbard as
the Democratic nominee, if the Republicans
don't nominate him Besides, good many

OBJEcTs.-We have received q note from Mr..
L. C. Challiss, of Atchison, in which he says he
does not object to our quoting and commenting
on the language of the Hiawatha Herald, de-
nouncing the Atchison migrant Aid Association
and its members, but that he does object to our
adopting it as our own language, and asks us to
withdraw our imputations. He encloses two
scraps cut from last weeks Chief with the Ian
guage marked to which be objects
We take it that Mr.. Challiss is a man of COM
mon sense and understanding, and can compre-
bend plain English. One of the articles which
he encloses is our reply to the Topeka Blade, in
which We distinctly stated that we did not de-
nounce the managers of the Atchison concern as
scoundrels and swindlers, but that we simply
quoted the language of the Herald, to show that
it supported one of q set of men whom it so de-
nounced. The other article which he encloses,
contains the exact words of the Herald, showing
that it publishes an affidavit from a man whom
it denounced as a scoundrel, liar, &c, to prove
that another man was not q scoundrel, liar, &C.
We adopted no language as our own, as the Her
AIDS own language was all that was necessary to
make out the case against it.
Now, if Mr.. Challiss wants the thing made
clearer than that, we are not able to accommo-
date him. If he wants a retraction of the cpl
thets applied to himself and his fellow-members
of the Lottery, he must apply to the Herald, in
which they were made. If it hurts his feelings
for us to quote the words of the Herald, it is
somewhat strange that the original charges in
the Herald did not CRATE harshly upon his sensi-
bilities. Is it because the Chief is of so much
more consequence than the Herddf or, can it be
because the Herald is sweet upon Hubbard, while
the Chief keeps stirring him with sharp stick.
