LETTER FROM LAWRENCE.

LAWRENCE KANSAS, Aug Goth 1876
Ed. CHIEF:-Sinee last May there have been him.
dred men at work repairing the dam, and the
break far remedied that the various mills com
menced running a'few days since. Only short time
woud be required finish up the labor and then
thought the knowing ones Lawrence would again laugh
at her sister cities and haunt her banner proudly the
breeze Like the Sioux in the night kept creep
ing up higher and higher until she had become roaring
current No eemed to think anything of it, and had
no appreheusOns but that everything it should
be- Imagine the surprise and chagrin of the people
when upon awakeningone morning last week. they were
apprsed of the intelligence that the dam had
suceumbed and that all the money and labor expended
a total loss Evidently there has been very unwse
engineering in this enterprise. There be
thing about the bed Of thu river that
the constr uction of the dam itself fault The peo
pie discouraged than not that they
particularly interested in pecuniay way Dam
Company is private corporation but they anxious
that any new and important undertaking should be
eessfuy carried The papers of this place in
habit Of exagerating things and endeavor give the i'm
preston abroad that Lawrence is the Head Centre
everything, whereas she is not. They have a right
well the people Of sustaining and encouraging any
object in the eys behalf; but when inform
ing the public how far that object is from being
taned they should not beyond the bounds admitted by
the truth. Perhaps in the end the dam will be perma
nently laid upon solid foundation. We glad to
learn that work will be resumed again in a short time
and probably before winter the waters will continue
their roaring and leapng the obstruction that has
given them such apparent disgust and which they have
teppled a number Of times.

DoSIPHAx, KANSAS, August as, 1876.

tg@ George W. Click, of Atchison, late part
ner of Mr.. Otis, is known as one of the most un-
compromising Democrats in the State. He has
never been or pretended to be anything else, po,
litieally. Only few years ago, the Republicans
of that city, under the management of the same
men who forced the nomination of Hubbard,
nominated Click as their candidate for Repre-
sentative, and elected him. 1t is the sells
crowd that are now urging against Mr.. Otis that
he is a Democrat, and calling upon Republicans
to stick to the ticket. If they could then NOM
mate and vote for the partisan Democrat Click,
the Republicans of Doniphan County can now
vote for Mr.. Otis, who has never been an active
politician, and who has been nominated regard
less of party.

They Know How IT FEELs-The Republicans
of Sabetha are very indignant at the way they
have been sold out. They established a paper,
kept it going for two years, when suddenly it
was sold out and became a Tilden paper of the
most rabid sort. They denounce it as an out
rage, resolve to withdraw their patronage from
the paper, and propose steps to start another pa
per. This is all very we'll; but perhaps there
are two sides to the question. They ought to
know that it takes ready money, and lots Of it,
besides hard and steady work, to keep even a
small newspaper going. They knew that Mr..
Wright was pressed for means, and wanted to
sell and, doubtless, he would have given the
preference to Republican purchaser. When
they could have bought the Office for much less
sum than it will require to start a new paper,
they allowed him to go to the wall, and his paper
to pass into Democratic hands, Now they howl
about it, and talk of inducing some other hard
working printer to go there, spend his time and
money, and starve Doubtless it hurts them to
be treated so; but We would remind the Repub-
licans of Sabetha that they, with one accord, raj
lied to the support of a man whom they knew to
be as obnoxious TO the Republicans of Doniphan
Comfy rs Tilden is to themselves; when rea-
sons were urged why this should not be
forced upon the District, they hooted and jeered,
and said they would elect him, all the same
and their influence and votes turned the scale in
favor of that obnoxious man. Now let them
gulp down their weekly rations of Tilden, and re-
alize how it feels to have nauseous doses forced
upon them.

4 Foul DOCKET.-Hubbartl's Hawatha barrel
organ says Price left Hubbard foul docket to
clear up. If Hubbard should lack Thousand or
fifteen hundred votes of beating Otis, what kind
of docket wonld he leavef No Court was held
for the trial of issues of fact in Donphan County,
last March. The June term of AtchisOn County
was kicked overheard, that Hubbard might put
in the time seeing the farmers, and abusing the
lawyers, and praising himself for hurrying up
business The August term in Brown collaps-
ed after two half days, to give Hubbard more
time to vindicate himself in every school district
in the Judicial District as he said he was going
to do, in his slobbering Hiawatha speech. 1t is
hardly to be expected that, as the campaign wax
es warm, in September and October, he will feel
like holding Court in Troy, Hiawatha and Sene
Ca. Thus, if he is re elected, he will whOop it
up to the lawyers next year, doing in one term
in each County what he has run behind for cam
paign purposes. Oh, he is expeditions! And
keeps the dockets so clear! And saves the peO-
pie such heaps of money! But would it not be
better to abolish the Court altogether, or let him
stay away, and let the attorneys elect pro TEN.

How We HELPED HIM-1t is a favroite asser-
tion of the supporters of Judge Hubbard, that
the denunciations of the Chief have created SYM
pathy in his favor, and made him friends. We
have heard such stuff before. We have helped
him tremendously. Several months ago, Hub
bard was apparently sliding over the track as if
he were creased for the occasion. With his jury
testimonials, with his S. puffs in newspapers,
and the use of party machinery, he was making
such headway that it seemed folly for any man
to oppose him. At that juncture, the Chief SOL
itary and alone out of nine papers in the District,
sounded the note of opposition to him, and poured
in an incessant fire of solid facts, which gained
him sympathy and support rapidly that ma
jority of the delegates were elected against him,
and he was driven to fraud and bribery to secure
doubtful nomination from less than half legal
Conventiou-and lead to his reputation by a
large portion of the best material in the Republi-
ban party, which will result in his overwhelming
defeat at the polls Wonder if they like that
kind of assistancef

| ATHICk-SKTNNED JUDDGE.-The spectacle pre-
sented in this District, of Judge whom almost
the entire bar denounce as incompetent; unsup-
ported by one lawyer in the District of profess
ional respectability; securing his nomination by
buying votes, and wriggling in two spurious del
egates; and now adjournng Courts, that he may
keep tighter grip on the salary of the office by
his qneer kind of electioneering, is spectacle, it
is to be hoped, is not often seen in civilized coun-
tries. Suppose it possible that, by exhibiting his
pufrid sores in public, and playing the part of a
mendicant; exhibiting himself as the martyr of
persecution at the hands of his profession; beg
ging for votes because he has large family to sup
port; and by securing the support of political
managers in Atchison, and with few dollars
buying the support of two or three little news
papers in the District, he should be reelected !:
What theni Does he suppose that by the Judi
cial lash applied TO those who have opposed
him, he can whip the attorneys into respecting
him, He may think so but he will find the job
\ difficult one. Can he successfully transact the
legal business of the District, when he is held in
unntterabe contempt by the attorneys of his
co1rtf The answer is plain. No honorable and
high-minded attorney would stoop to hold the
Office, for the grab at the salary regardless of the
opinion entertained OF him by those best calcula-
ted to judge of his fitness.
If we have not entirely misjudged the temper
of the opposition to Judge Hubbard, which
comes from the profession he so shamelessly ont
RACES, the rar wiU not end uih his reelection. A
united Bar can annihilate him as Judge and
they will, rather than submit to four years more
of his ineficiency. He has traded on his Office
for the last time. Four years more of swapping
decisions for political support, is more than can
be borne. He will never again be permitted to
set aside verdicts because he disbelieves Witness
es whom the jury have believed, or to grant new
trials at the behest of bankers, when he has
charged the law so that verdict as returned
was inevitable.

DECIDEDLY THIN.-We have not received more
than two issues of the Atchison Champion in the
last two weeks; bnt a correspondent sends us
the following article cut from recent issue of
that paper:-
'IHoGUs DELEGATES"
Baker delegates tn the Judicial Convention Hiawa
from tne fth District of this County were bogus dele
The same Convention that elected Messrs Barker and
% n 70 the Judicial Convention also elected
tion The editor Of the CLiJ member of the Com
ported Messrs Murphy and Sep were regularly elect
sd and entitled to seats delegates Now if Messrs
vsnton how does OkS make that Messrs Barker
and Baker, elected by the same Convention and
votes were bogus delegatesf
The above is too foolish to waste many words
upon An Atchison correspondent, in another
column, discusses the Atchison bolting Conven-
tion. 1t is only necessary for us to remark that
there was no contest in the State Convention
from AtchisOn County, and it not for the
Committee on Credentials to make one. G. W.
Gillispie and Glenn J. Neal were elected delegates
by the regular Convention, aud Thomas Murphy
and Owen Z. Seip by the Hubbard boilers.
Through some influence peculiar to Atchison
politics, Messrs. Gillispie and Neal discovered
that they had important business interests
quiring their presence elsewhere, just on the eve
of the State Convention. Consequently, Murphy
and Seip were the only persons there purporting
to represent the District, and in the absence of
any protest from the District, their credentials
were accepted as regular. But had Gillispie and
Neal appeared with credentials, and made such a
showing of facts We believe they could, We are
pretty well satisfied that they would have got
their seats as delegates. But spirtlng away
buying off de.egatesis not going to help Hub
bards case in the shape it has taken.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1876-08-31

THE REASON WHY.-The question is very de-
family asked by the supporters of Judge Hub
bard: ''If he is such an incompetent man, ana
there is so much opposition to him among the
lawyers, why is it that we have heard nothing of
it heretofore, bat now there is all at once such
an ado made about iti" The answer is perfectly
easy. There has been great dissatisfaction with
Hubbard, ever since he has been on the bench.
But knowing that he had a prescribed time to
continue in Office, the bar and others made the
best of bad bargain, and did all in their power to
get along peaceably and smoothly, knowing that
they conld gain nothing by denouncing him, but
on the other hand, would draw down upon their
heads his enmity, and all the petty annoyances
and acts of insoence which it was in the power
of a weak mind to infiict. But when the time
came to decide who should occupy the place for
another four years, they felt that the occasion
had arrived TO remedy an evil from which they
had long suffered, aud spoke out in language that
could not be misunderstood proclsiming facts
and reasons that could not be controverted. They
have spoken just al the right time, and in the
right way.

RED-HoT.-The Seneca Courier says, that on a
certain night, after the delegates got back from
Hawatha, there was red-hot Hubbard ratfca-
tion meeting held in Seneca Conwell made the
speech. Judge Hubbards nomination, says the
Courier, gives eminent satisfaction in Seneca.
1t must be gratifying to Judge Hubbard to see
bread cast upon the waters in the Scrafford suits
thus returning after many days. Some folks ex-
pressed a fear that those Seneca fellows would
not stand to their bargains but We always
thought they would. If any gentleman will fur
nish list of the attaching creditors against Scraf
ford, and give us the names of Lappin's bonds
men, we will wager a nickel cigar with Simon
Conwell or West WilkensOn, we can call the roll
of that red hot meeting, and tell who set 'em up
when the show was over on the streets.

BRAZEN INsoLENCE.-The Democratic and reb-
ell press call attention to the fact that it is only
in those Southern States which are under Repub-
lican rule that murders and outrages abound.
II is fact that ought to damn the Democratic
party The reason why outrages abound only in
those States is that the Southern Ku-KluN De-
mocracy are determined to murder and intimi-
date until Republican voters stay away from the
polls, and the States pass under Democratic con-
troll. When the whole SOuth was Republican,
murder prevailed everywhere. As fast as States
became Democratic, murder ceased. We hear of
but little of it in Georgia and Alabama. Since
Louisiana has become Democratic, murder has
almost ceased there. Mississippi is not yet reli-
ably Democratic, and still murder prevails.
South Carolina is now the only decidedly Repub-
lican Southern State, and the murder mill has
commenced running there. If Republicans can
be ntimidated from voting, so that the Democ-
racy may rule, peace prevails; but otherwise,
the Republican majority must be slaughtered.
1t is to be hoped that Grants military order will
be enforced to the last degree. With an honest
free and untrammelled election, there are not
over three Democratic Southern States.
