Mr.. EDITOR As there are various

the following statement of facts. which
can be substantiated by investigation !:
On or about the 25th of February.
1875, on the recommendation of certain
parties interested, | purchased the in
terest Of Nil Wilkie and S. S. Shotwell
in that bank, amounting to $4,000, and
after close investigation of the assets
of the bank, which took some time.
supposed, when purchasing the stock.
that ii was sound, but | found from
$4,000 to $4,000 of the paper TO be
almost or entirely worthless. | found
these notes to have been given in re-
newal of paper made by the former
administration. | also found about
81, 000 of the capital stock to be car
ried by stock notes. The bank build
ing and fixtures cost about $4,000,
other real estate about $500, making
about SIG, 800 of real estate. which is
not worth to exceed $1,000, all of
which facts created a necessitv for
liquidating the bank, and it was

the directors, to go to New York and
negotiate q sale of the bonds, which |
did. During my absence, and with
out my knowledge, the Butler County
Bank was organized by w. p. & A.
H. Gossard, and run exclusively in
their interest. had no interest of
any kind, directly or Indirectly, in
this bank. held the office of Cashier
of the First National Bank from the
time of my election, on or about the
25th of February, 1875, until the fol-
lowing annual meeting in January,
1876, at which time | declined the
Office of Cashier, having sold out the
most of my stock at great sacrifice;
and right here wish to state that the
rumors and reports in circulation i'm
plicating me with having anything to
do with the funds of the Butler
County Bank are entirely false and
untrue. At the time Gossard was
over here, Immediately before their
suspension, he came to raise money to
assist in running their bank and came
TO me for help, which was unable TO
render him; and any rumors or re-
ports TO the effect of any money from
that institution, by the Cashier or any
other person, being brought to, or
left with me or any other person
within my knowledge, are entirely
false and untrue and without any
foundation whatever. If any parties
desire personal or further explanation
from me | viii cheerfully give it.

The Grcanbaok Convention at Topeka last Week

Man is so happily constituted that
dependency from failure is apt to be
followed by a reaction. The Reform
State Convention, at Topeka, was al
most wholly made up OF political fail
urcs of the two old parties of this
State. The leading spirits had occu-
pied, in times past, the most exalted
positions, one Of them the Supreme
bench, and three others the Gaber-
Material seat. But froG mistakes,
blunders or corruptions and want OF
brains each had long since sunk 10 the
level from which some political chance
had elevated them. But the appetite
for the flesh pots, once cultivated, is
hard TO keep down, and with its un,
satisfied lOngings came the desperate
games and thin lodges TO get back to
power. To watch the men who com
posed, and 10 read the proceeding of,
the Convention held in Topeka last
week, is no laughing matter. 1t il
like listening to the pathetic appeals
or the earnest declaration of inmates
Of an insane asylum. Wisdom and
nonsense, truth and falsehood, with
out reason, mixed. How those fel
lows try TO escape their bondage and
be free Office holders once more. Bat
their keepers, the people, while the!
pity, dare not trust. Ont of Office ano
out Of power they are harmless, Sc

Ill time shall take them away, wher
their good deeds will only be remem-
bered-their insane ramblings and
ambitions be forgotten.

practice was elected TO the Virginia
Legislature. where he served with
credit to himself and satisfaction TO his
constituents for several terms. Ia 1861
he was a member of the Virginia State
Convention, and when secession was
proposed, warmly opposed the idea /;
but when his voice was oyerpowcred
and his party voted down, he acqui-
esced in the decision of the majority
and went with them in their secession.
movement. He so distinguished him
self in the advocacy of southern rights
that. in 1862. he was elected to the Con-
fcderate Senate. After the war he was
pardoned by Mr.. Johnson, and for
some years devoted all his time and
talents to his profession. Last year
he was elected Senator from West Nir-
ginia for the long term, ending in 1881.
He was a man Of considerable talent,
and his loss will be deeply felt in West

The Centennial Lawrence Tribune.


John Speer, one OF the oldest editors
west OF the Missouri river, and among
the very first who took up both pen
and sword lin the cause of Kansas,
publishes splendid eight-page Cen
tennial issue of the Lawrence Tribune.
He gives a very interesting and full
history of the early days in that city,
together with valuable sketch of its
present business and industries. The
sketches of the old border troubles,
the Quantrell massacre, and other n
portant events, ARE vigorous and graph
ic, and will be read with interest. The
paper is most valuable contribution
to the history of Kansas. The account
of the Quantrell massacre is very full.

Too Many New Men.

The Washington Chronicle is afraid
that too many Of the old, able and ex.
perienced Republican members of Con
gress may be dropped by their con
stituents in obedience TO the rule
of rotation and the 'shrieks of local.
ity," and thereby weaken the party in
the next Congress. 1t says:
The Republican Congressional Con
ventiGns yet TO meet should carefully
consider the question whether they
can afford to crafty the ambition and
jealousy of aspirants for the Con
gressienal honors under the two
term" rule, which, unfortunately for
the country, prevails too extensively in
the north and west with respect 10
Congressional service. The next House
will be close, with small majority
either way, and it behooves the Re
publican party to keep its best men in
the House.
