Centennial History.

The suggestion made by Prot. John. I.
Campbell. of Ind, Secretary of the U.
S. Centennial Commission, and to which
The Champion referred some time ago,
has been embodied in resolution offered
in Congress on Wednesday last, by Mr..
Hardenbergh, of New Jersey. The resO-
luton recommends to the people of the
country that they assemble in their sew
eral counties on next Fourth of July,
and cause to have delivered a historical
sketch of each county from its formation
and that a copy Of said sketch be filed in
the Clerks office Of the county, and an
other copy in the Office of the Librarian
of Congress. Tn this way it is proposed
to obtain a complete history of the
country.
The idea is one of the best vet sugges-
ted in connection with the Centennial
celebration. We hope it will be gener-
ally acted upon throughout the country.
If this work was properly done. such a
mass of historical data would lie collected
as no other country ever succeeded in
getting together.-Atchison Champion.

RESOLUTIONS continue to be intro
duced in Congress by the Democrats
demanding reform, but so far in investi-
eating the matter they find that they
have been anticipated by the Republi-
cans Bristow has recently exposed a
series of crooked transactions in cotton,
wherein a raid upon the treasury had
been arranged by some officials and
Southern spectators. But to esta blish
tie fact that they are Reformers Randall
will introduce bill to cut down the sal
airy of Congressman from 81 800 to 8, coo
a year. This looks little like business
or will when It is done. Now if the
Democratic House will pass such bill
and then turn their attention to another
matter where great saving can be made,
and that is the annual carrying off Of
thousands Of dollars worth Of fixtures by
Congressman end spending each year
thousands Of dollars for pocket-knives,
pocket books, gold pens, pencils. card.
cases, etc, for members, and put an end
to this, then it will look like they really
wanted to reform and were not merely
hunting for political capital. r''

QUITE spirited debate took PLACE in
the House of Representatives last Mon
dap between Mr.. Randall and Mr.. Blaine
over the amnesty bill introduced by the
former. Under the previous question"
amendments were cut of and the bill
forced to a vote, which resulted in yeas
l72. nays 81. Failing to receive the
necessary two third vote it was lost, and
Mr.. Blaine at once moved to reconsider
the vote and addressed the house on the
subject, making an able and eloquent
speech in support of his amendment to
the general amnesty bill excepting JEFF.
Davis. The speech is claimed by Mr..
Blaine's friends to have been one Of the
most eloquent ever delivered in the
House of Representatives.

More DefalcatiOn.

Mr.. Francis, the new State Treasurer,
has been steadily at work since he took
possession of the office to get into shape
and find out how matters stood. He
found the Office in a worse condition even
than it was before when he took it as the
successor of Mr.. Hayes. For a long time
it was impossible to make the bond
account tally with that of the Auditors
Office. We believe that after days and
nights OF hard work the "bond question"
is definitely settled, and all are in the
vaults that the books call for. This is
not true however, of the funds. A care
full count and examination Of the books
of the Auditor Of State show shortage
of $3.50. About 5000 of this comes in the
account with the fiscal agents of the
State, Donnel. Lawson & Co. of New
York. The balance, about $3.50 is with
different accounts. We judge from what
we can learn that this shortage comes
from erroneous book keeping; that is,
taking all the facts in the case, it does
not look as though Mr.. Lappin intended
to leave the Office without turning over
all that was in his hands. He evidently
supposed at the time that he had turned
over every cent. The count shows him
short as above stated. He was notified
of this shortage as soon as it was discov
cred, and time has been given him to
make it good. Up to this time he has
not done so. The law knows no differ
ence. however, between intended wrong
and carelessness in bookkeeping. The
penalty for not paying over money be-
longing to the State is the same whether
it is not paid through error In bookkeep-
in: or wilfnl neglect. As the case stands
now Mr.. Iappin is defaulter to the
amornt of $3.50, and if not already done,
a criminal as we'll rs civil suit will soon
be commenced against him. Ifhe does
not return of his own accord, it is presu
mable that requisition will be issued
for him and that he will not be permit
ted to leave the United States.-Cam-
monredlh 1lH inst.

The sixteenth annual session of. tn
Legislature Of Kansas convened at Tope
ka last Tuesday at II o'clock HI. 10 tn
Senate order was called by tine Lieu:
Governor and upon a call of the roll 0
members by the clerk it was found Their,
were only five absent. A motion pre-
vailed that Immediately after the reading
of the Governors message the Senat,
proceed to investigate the Annual SchoO
Fund, when the Senate adjourned for tn.
day.
The House was called to order at 1:
O'Clock By the Secretary of State, ant
the members as they answered to theil
names appeared before the Speakers desk
and had the oath of Office administered
to them by Chief Justice Kingman. Mr.
Benedict, of Wilson county, was selected
temporary Speaker. A motion prevail
ing to elect permanent speaker Messrs
Haskell, Eskridge and Cook were put in
nomination. The call of the roll resulted
in HaskelPs receiving 45, EsHridge q
and Cook "a votes. After quite an ami.
mated discussion as to the propriety OF
adjourning, the House finally adjourned
for the day. The members from this
county, Messrs. Arnold and Stevens,
voted for Haskell. Ninety-eight votes
were cast showing that only two men,
bers were absent.
On Wednesday the Senate held but
one session, meeting in the morning at
ten o'clock. The only business attended
to was the election of a chaplain, which
was attended by a lengthy discussion
that was neither profitable nor edifying.
A colored minister was chosen to that
position, and then another discussion
followed on a motion to reconsider the
vote by which he was elected. So far as
this branch of the Legislature is con-
cerneG the indications are that they who
expect but little oft shall not be disap-
pointed.
The House also assembled at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning and proceeded at
once to ballot for Speaker, and three bal
lots were had without any of the candi-
