ROBERT WHALEY.

Robert Wbaley is sixteen hands high and
weighs one thousand three hundred pounds
and was foaled April "a, 1871, HIS sire is
Nighthawk; dam, Brown Jane, by young Clifford
Morgan, better known as the Guernsey horse
and owned at one time by Robert Whaley, Of
w. Wordsworths Old Henry Clay her grand
dam unknown; by her fine form and blood-like
appearance, was supposed to be Of the Messen-
ger tribe. Brown Jane took the first premium
over all breeds in the class Of brood mares, at
the National Horse Show, at Kalamazoo in the
fall of 1867, the only time she has been shown
for premium in this State. Robert Whaley
has taken first premium at the State Fair every
time he has been shown IN the class of Road
sters and Trotters. Now, / don't propose to
bore the horsemen and breeders with long
pedigree, nor with what his sire aud dam have
done, as they are all three here to be seen and
judged. Brown Jane Is on my farm, and ia
twenty-five years old this spring. Any man
that can bring a brood mare Of her age that can
out trot her can make II very interesting and
profitable by calling on me, Notwithstanding the
right and left bower OF Lawrence, might tell
him differently. All / ask of the farmers and
breeders of horses In this vicinity is to watch
closely the performances of this Dig young
horse on the track, and 10 compare his get with
those Of foreign horses and then judge for
themselves, which il is to their interest to use
their home bred horse or those sent out from
home in order to get something to do.
Robert Whaley will make the season Of 1876,
commencing April Is, as follows: He may be
found at Paw Paw, on Mondays and Tuesdays
OF each week on Wednesdays and Thursdays,
on the farm Of the underslgped, two miles
north and half mile east OF Lawrence, and on
Fridays and Saturdays at the stables OF s. Jen-
nings, in Bangor. Twenty dollars the season,
or thirty dollars to insure.

THE SEPTEMBER STATES.

Vermont went ahead of all expectations,
and rolled up Republitan majority OF
nearly thirty acknowledgement than she
has given any Governor before since 1856.
Now Maine follows promptly with CORE
spending increase, and the majority OF
three thousand at the last election is swell
ed 10 fifteen thousand this time.
The Democrats have made desperate ef-
forts to cut down the Republican majorities
in Vermont and Maine, because of the
effect that such result would have upon
the Presidential election. II they could
rsduce the Republican figures and show
Democratic gains, they would everywhere
point to it as an evidence that the tide was
against the Republicans and towards the
Democracy. These States were the first
stragetic points of the campaign. To this
end they poured in their money without
stint. They thoroughly organized both
States. They set out on "still hunt" and
thought TO catch the Republicans asleep.
And the result is a crushing blow to all
their expectations and hopes.
The result in Vermont and Maine proves
that the people are not deluded by any
fake cries of "change." Ii shows they
thoroughly understand the false pretence Of
Democratic "reform" and the appalling
dangers of Democratic Confederate triumph.
1t demonstrates their undated confidence
in the ability and disposition of
the Republican party to meet
the highest demands OF the nation,
and is but an earnest of that greater victory
which the Republicans of the whole coun-
try shall achieve in November.

HAIE RICH .

As a matter OF parliamentary law, we
think Col. Anthony WAS the person TO call
the convention to order, and believe that
conventions and Legislative bodies should
never resort to secret ballot-Natioaaiia
Bro. Griffin, you state that which every
honest man will approve.
When the Phillips faction called in the
Sheriff and his posse and used them 10 con-
troll the action OF opposing delegates, they
committed an act which no upprejudiced
mind can justify-and that the Phillips
men did this no one will Nationalist.
Now you are just little out of the way.
The Phillips men did no such thing. Our
memory is that Hodge was the first man to
call on the Sheriff. AT any rate the Secre-
tary did not make any call upon him, as he
felt fully competent to manage little lot
of silly boys. They only wanted time to
blow off their surplus steam.

4 GOOD BEGINNING.

Capt. J. L. johnson, OF Oskaloosa, regis
tered at The TIMES headquarters yesterday.
The Captain has been on the stump in the
Second District, and all of our accounts
from that quarter agree that he has been
dealing the Democracy some telling blows
At the meeting of the Central Committee,
the other day, it was unanimously decided
to put the name of Capt. Johnson on the
electoral ticket in place of that Of DIR. YER
non, who has been invited to resign. And
we take this occasion to commend the
committee for making the change not that
We consider Vernon a bad man-for We
don't know anything about him-but We
are gratifed to see the members of the COM
mittee have pluck enough to do what they
believe to be right, and are encouraged
thereby to hope that before the end of the
they may screw their courage TO
the sticking point and do their uhote duty.

THEY sruLTIEY rgruaELyzs.

Ii. the friends OF Mr. Guthrie regard the
nomination Of Col. Phillips as great
fraud, ascheme OF the oflice-hoiaers, meas
u-e forced upon the people, and all that
sort OF stuff, as the Atchison Champion
9gain assures us in lis article referring to
Glthrie's ''declination," then why DO they
propose to vote for Phillips? Ii he is such
a man as they have repeatedly pronounced
lim, anu his nomination was accomplished
by such dishoncrable means, they must be
aeyoid OF every particle of selt-respect in
order 10 even think about voting for
Lim. Either they have lied most VIII
lainously in wha: they have said
about Col. Phillips and the manner in
ghich he was nominated, or if they be-
iieyc what they have said, then by sup
porting him, they merit the contempt and
LEGISLATION Of every decent man in the
country. Ii they have lied, let them have
the manhood now to acknowledge the
wrong they have done, to apologize
10 the party Tor their con-
tsmptible conduct, and ask to be
forgiven; il they have not lied-If what
they have said Is true-let them show some
little spark Of manhood by refusing to vote
Tor Phillips under such circumstances let
them go to the Democracy, or even to the
ceTil, rather than disgust all
respectable people, aud outrage
every principle of decency, and self
respect by voting for man whom they
have pronounced 50 utterly unworthy of
5 ipport. Their twaddle about stultifying
themselves, and eating dirt, in the Interest
Of the party" Is nothing but stuff, for there
isn't corporafs guard of them all together; |
the idea that it will make any difference to |
the party whether they stay in or go out,
is too ridiculous to talk about, and eyinces
Z degree of self-conceit which approaches |
the sublime, and which couldn't be pro-
duced in any part of the world but Atchi-
son. Give us no more OF this nonsense; ii
you have lied about Phillips, apologize to
him for it; il you have told the truth about
hirn, apologize TO yourselves for proposing
10 vote for such man.

TwEED's ARREST.

MADRID, September 1.-THE following
are the particulars Of the arrest of VIM. NJ.
Tweed: Capt. Gen. Jovellar, at Havana,
received the intelligence that Tweed had
disembarked at Santiago de Cuba, and mott
fed the authoritie, there before the latter
could take action. Tweed embarked in the
sailing vessel Carmen" bound to Vigo.
Capt. Gen. Jovellar telegraphed to the. Mad
rid government, which, fearing that the
Carmen" might so 10 some other port, re-
quested the authorities at all the Spanish
ports to examine the persons on board all
the vessels named Carmen" There are
twelve Spanish vessels of that name. The
portrait Of Tweed being indispensable the
Spanish authorities obtained and made
copies of his caricature in America. The
journals are representing him as beating a
child supposed to typify American justice
This caricature led the Spanish authorities
and reporters to believe that Tweed had
been kidnapping children, hence in the first
official announcement received of his ar
rest it was stated that he had been arrested
for kidnapping American children. Tweed
is confined on the Island OF Saint Siman,
in Nigo bay, where he is undergoing DURAN
tine, strictly watched by custom-house
guards. At the expiration of his qnaran-
tine he will be surrendered to the United
States Representative, a. there are no direct
steamers between Spain and North Amer
lea. Tweed will be sent TO Cuba and from
there to New York

These adverse influences are exercised by
railway companies whodiscriminate against
st. Louis.
The HepuJlinaR does not charge the rail-
road companies with any bitterness against
s.. Louis, but takes it for granted that
railroads are moved in their sctiou by
consideration of their own interest, and as
the capital that owns railways belongs
mostly in the East, and the men who con-
troll the trunk lines from the East to Chica-
90 also control the lines from Chicago west
ward, it is therefore to their interest TO
send the trade Of Kansas through Chicago
rather than through St. Louis. Recogniz-
ing these facts, the RepuJsioan says:
ST. Louis has therefore a warm fight on
her hands with these railroads and she
must wage the battle persistently or make
up her mind TO give up the trade Of Kansas.
Railways into the interior of Kansas from
st. Louis, which should go around Kansas
City a. ore means Of warfare, would be
very elective. A line Of ligh; barges from
ST. Louis TO Leayenworth would be another.
ST. Louis must Use her water path more
Weli-managed waterways are sure to en-
large business. Slow but v,ry powerful
towboats, broad OF bottom and light OF draft
for the towing Of cheap and
roomy but light barges, with no other
idea except the cheaper transportation OF
all manner OF freight that can be devised
will win business on the Missouri. Bat
they must be put on by determined and
Jealous company of capitalists and kept on.
And this company must be prepared to pur-
chase the grain themselves. They should
own elevators at points along the river,
have ag, nts at these points and in the in
terror to purchase not only grain, but live
stock, and every tow OF baTges should come
down loaded. Then up freight On merchan-
disc should be put at figures so low that
railways could not compete. This kind of
competition is what is needed TO save our
Kansas trade and to attrsct still more Of it
10 st. Louis.
Ii matters but little 10 US what means
81. Louis employs TO compete with Chicago
in bidding for the trade of Kansas, but the
fact that our trade is now considered of suf-
ficieni Importance to call forth the best ef
forts Of St.Louis and Chicago to secure il. is
one OF the most encouraging signs Of the
times, for Leavenworth.

FROM LENAPE.

Papers in the western part Of the State
are finding fault with the nomination of H.
Vernon As one Of our Republican Presiden.
tial electors. From citizen Of this town.
ship who is we'll acquainted with Mr..
Vernon, I have a statement which con-
vinces me that all this fault-fnding is not
without reason. This man Vernon lately
settled in Lincoln county, Kansas, having
moved to that place from near Chicago.
His career in Illinois was shameful prov
ing him . man without principle, honor,
honesty, or moral worth Of any sort. If he
is . Republican, he il . very recent convert
