President Grant Interviewed.

President Grant was interviewed by a New
York Herald correspondent OF his return to
Washington, on Saturday morning. He is
represented rs saying that in the solution OF
the present situation Everything depends
upon fair COUNT In regard to the charge
OF corruption and fraud made against the Re-
publicans by their political opponents. the
President said:
politicians in the South may instiga.c all
sorts OF atrocities, and even be parties to them
to the extent OF committing murder. and
nothing much is said or thought about it, but
when fairness in elections, according to the
lawful plan, is insisted upon, great complaint
IS made and there is charge of unfairness."
Ihe President says his action in inviting IL
number OF gentlemen to visit New Orleans
was dupon compliance with the reo cu,,st
OF Gov. kellogg of Louisiana, made some
days ago, that the leading men Of both par
ties should be asked to 60 to New Orleans in
order TO give their presence to fair count of
the vote, so that there should not he any
doubt or caviling hereafter. Il was not done
as counter movement to that Of the Demo-
Gratis under the call of their political mana
gers. which Halter action, however. he under
stood was compliance with the request of
the people OF louisiana. The President
seemed to feel that the end in view. fayoring
justice and honesty, would be subseryed by
the course taken. ..
In reply to the question whether he antici-
pated trouble in the South, President Grant
said ''Oh. no; have made it a rule through
life never to anticipate trouble. Inever look
for it until it comes. Bnt believe in being
prepared for it and having the means at COM
mand to check it,
A reference to the result of the Presiden-
tial election brought from the President the
opinion he has heretofore invariably express
ed-that Gov. Hayes is the fairly-elected Pres
ldent, but that r is matter of duty and pro.
prlety to submit to the result as it will he
honestly declared upon the counting Of the
votes. He expects the best results to come
from the visit Of the gentlemen selected to 20
to New Orleans In connection with the count
ing of the votes.

are too patent to be denied by any fair man,
and constitute the severest criticism that
could be offered upon the conduct of the
democratic leaders in the South,
A ssolid South was regarded as essential
to the success Of Mr.. Tilden. TO this end
all the cndeavors OF the managers of bis in
terests have becn directed; and now, when
it is clear that at least three States have re

clamor is raised of fraud on the part OF tile
dominant party, and that illegal means have
been used to secure that which a fair count
OF the vote actually east, would demonstrate
without particle Of doubt. Such utterly
illogical assum ptions can do no otherwise
than astound and revolt the honest senti-
ment OF the country.
Upon the unsupported and unreasonable
hypothesis of fraud, too, it is seriously an
nounced that resistance will be interposed
to the declaration of the electoral vote in IA

Increased Assessment

The new law requires all property to be
assessed at its actual value in money, in
stead of less than that value, as hereto
fore, and the assessors of Lyon county
met ut the court house Tuesday the 2Ist,
and agreed on a new basis of rates. The
assessment of all property n ust of course
be considerably increased. The new
law also requires that the assessment be-
gin March 1st, but as it was not approved
until March 18th, the work has been de-
layed. The several assessors will now,
however. proceed Immediately to bust
ness. Mr.. A. Il. Bancroft retains his Of
lice of city assessor, at least until his year
is out In April, by reason OF the new law,
which provides that the mayor and coun-
ell shall appoint an assessor at the first
council meeting Ia February. But as the
law did not go into operation until over
a month after that time, they could not
make the appointment in accordance with
it. II is therefore the opinion of both the
city and county attorney that the present
incumbent holds over, aud he has begun
his assessment.

Something Curious.

We clipped the folio wing from
the Commonwealth for our last
weeks issue, but among a grist of
other copy it did not get into that
paper.
The publication % the apportionment
bill in yesterdays COmmOnw ealth brings
to light curious fact. 1t is discovered
that the township OF Center, in Lyon
county, IL tackled on to four townships in
Greenwood county 10 make representa-
tive district. Whether this is an acct
dent or done on purpose We de not know.
Ii is the first time in the history of Kan.
sas that representative district has been
formed out OF IA part Of two counties. We
recollect that the question whether this
could be done or not waB submit tied to
Sam Stinson, the first Attorney General in
1862, and he decided adversely. That
opinion has been conceded in ever since.
Ii is believed that IL Is in violation of the
constitution TO do so. What its effects
will be when a representative comes up
to take his seat we are unable to guess.
Greenwood county has a population of Q,
AS and Lyon county of 9,903 l. will be
seen that 1881 Inhabitants have four
representative and 4 senator. We would
like to hear from some member Of the
legislature VINO followed that bill through
/ t. various stages and get his recollections
of the matter. We should judge that the
mistake must have been in enrolling the
bill, but it may not have been.-Common-
wealth.
When the bill went to the senate Lyon
county had a senator by itself, but when
it was finally passed Lyon and Green
wood together had only a senator. Why
this county was not permitted to retain q
senator, and why one OF its townships
seems to be deprived of any representa-
tive representation, are things that may
be somebody can explain. 1t seems to us
that persons who were elected to look az
ter the interests of Lyon county, should
let it have all the Senatorial aud repre-
sentative influence that could be secured
for 1t.
Since writing the above we find the fol.
lowing in the Wellington Press, by Mr.,
Folks, clerk Of the senate:
There is no mistake about it: aud as
far as the representative districts men,
| toned are concerned, We can vouch that
the bill was correctly enrolled. In the
bill as II came from the House, Green.
! wood county constituted one representa-.
| tive district. At the request OF Senator
Marttndale OF Greenwood, we wrote the
amendment, which he afterWard offered
and which was adopted by the senate
without dissenting vote. In that shane
the bill passed the senate on third read.
ing, and all the senate amendments, as is
well known, were afterwards coneurred
in by the house.

EDITORS NEWs:-Thursday morning
the 23d, the alarm of fire was echoed from
house to house, from street to street, and
a large number of citizens, men and wo-

its work OF destruction with but little re-
sistance. All the furniture was saved in
the lower rooms except one carpet. In
one room up stairs ali the furniture was
burned, together with all the personal eff
fects of Miss Jennie Yolton. She lost
everything she had but the clothes on her
person. The house was one of the largest

leaves q void in the heart of the town, and
also in the hearts of the people, and more

"GoY Osborn has issued proclama-

Arbor day for the citizens of the State

pected on that day to plant tree.'
That is as much as to say that all
who respect the Lords Sabbath and do
no work in it are not honest citizens.
Which shall we do, obey God or man ?
Itasigstting to be verv fashionable to
swear at any one who takos the law OF
God as his guide in life.
Planting frees is a very commenda-
BILE act, and hope no one will fail to
plant as many as possible, but let us
not feel that we are compelled to use
the SABBATH for that purpose, even if
earthly rules and pOtentates do so di-
rect. They are only human, and their
power limited. Fear not man who
can only kill the body, but fear God
who can kill both body and soul.
