LISTEN To THE STUCK PIG = The Iowa Point
bushwhacker occupies column and quarter
in the last Bulletin, principally devoted to squeal
ing. The Chief pumped him a centre shot, the
first fre-labeled him, and gave him his true
standing. He has been driven to the Defensive
and undertakes to enlighten the public as to
his nativity and pedigree. But after ALL he has
sufficient shame left to attempt to apologize for
cowardly fling at an unoffeading gentleman
who has been stricken by the hand of disease.
No, whacky, we shall not take the trouble to
hunt mp your record in the Missouri brush. We
impaled you, the first drive. There you can
wriggle and squeal. If the BMlleta has not room
to publish your long-winded slush about yoar
own dear self, there is no law against enlarging
the paper. We suppose it is interesting to its
readers. We incurred the mortal hatred of this
long-winded bore, by shutting down upon his in
terminable fish woman scoding about nothing
at all.

1-when DIR. Nutting was canvassing the 1st
District, as a candidate for Commissioner, he
tackled Republican, to whom he observed that
he used to be with him in politics, and was a
Republican of the strictest sect, but that he be-
came disgusted with things in Grants admins
tration, and separated from the party-in fact,
he thought the Republican party had left him,
instead of him leaving the party. If the Repub-
lican party left him, We would like to ask him
if the Democratic party came to him, and wheth-
er that party now occupies the position and en-
tertains the principles of the Republican party
that he used to belong to, more nearly than the
present Republican party does 7 In this pro-
gressive age, when q man sits down to pout and
growl, he must expect to be left.

% Washington correspondent of an exchange
speaks Of Mrs. McCrary saying that there was
no such skulduggery about their house as the
Belknaps indulsed in; and the correspondent
adds that he does not know whether he has spelled
the word correctly or not. Skulduggery is a
word in very common use, but we imagine that
few who use it have any idea what they are say
ing. 1t is Scotch word, but is properly "skal-
duddery," and simply means torRication. See

1NGALLs.-It begins to appear pretty evident
that Senntor Ingalls, is to be his own successor.
If there was any doubt of Il heretofore, the in
sane course of a few papers opposed to him, is
dissipating the donbt rapidly. Foremost among
these lunatIcs, is the Leavenworth Press. 1t is
demented OH the subject of Ingalls,, and charges
upon him the responsibility of every evil that
befalls man or beast. 1t is Ingalls,, Ingalls,, all
the time, to nauseating degree. Such course
can but disgust all men who are not as loony as
the Press and the few papers that assist it in its
chorus. Take an example: The Chief, it is we'll
known, has never been politically friendly to
Ingalls,. But it heartily approved she sentiments
of his Osawatomis speech, and published the
speech. Since then, the Press as:continued to
sert that the Chiefs controlled by Ingalls,; and
every article that appears in this paper that is
distasteful to the Press, it declares to have been
written or dictated by Ingalls,. Does the Press
think it can convince anybody by such stuff as
this, or even command the respect of the oppo-
nents of Ingalls, While it is keeping up its de-
mented frothings, Ingalls, is rapidly gaining
friends in Kansas, and is receiving tokens of re-
spect and positions Of honor in the Senate, that
show the high estimation in which he is held. 1t
would be to his interest to pay the Press aud its
co.laborers to keep up their bowling.
The course of the Press toward Col. Phillips is
the same as toward Ingalls,. The reelection of
Phillips is clearly assured. He represents the
PEOPLE of the District, aud tho people will stand
by him, regardless of anyt thing the Leavenworth
Press may say.

A HOr CONTEsT.-One of the most remarkable
contests ever witnessed, took place in the United
States Senate, on the 2lst For hours the Re
publicans fought against odds, to prevent the
Democrats from, gaining control of the Senate,
sod mt last won only by superior parliamentary
tactics, and by the casting vote Of the Viee-Pres
dent. Senator Blaine was at bone sick, and
Sharon was off to the Pacific coast. Davis, of
Illinois, has gone over to the Democrats, aud
they have bonght or bulldosed Patterson, of
South Carolina, aud Conover, of Florida, which
gave them, at the time, an actual majority of
two, and they determined TO seat Spoford, of
Louisiana, and Buttler Of South Carolina, aud to
re-organize the Senate Committees on Demo-
cratic basis After long parliamentary strug-
gle, the Senate, by. the casting vote Of the Vice
President, adjourned until Monday of this week.
If the absentees do not return, or if the rene
'gades still hold out, the Democracy may succeed
in their design at last. 1t was humiiating
spectacle IN the United States Senate 10 SEQ Pat
terson and Conover. with Democratic Senator
on each side of them, holding them IN their
seats, snd absolutely forcing them to vote
against the party that elected them.
Blaine's absence cannot be helped. The pros
pect is, that lie is following Morton. There was
no excuse for Sharon's absence, u the crisis. As
for Davis he is bidding for the Presidency,
which he will never get. But for Patterson and
Conover there is an apparent excuse. The trail
tor in the White House is responsible for their
action. By his "policy," he has made it . ques-
tion of life and property with them. He has
turned South Carolina over to the rebels-in
fact, the whole Southland a contest is now in
progress, as to whether Patterson shall be drag
ged from the Senate q criminal, to be placed ut
the mercy Of Sonth Carolina rebels. Hayes has
sold him out, and now he is reduced to the
cessity of selling his party, to his life and
liberty. Conover says that the security of his
property, and perhaps his life, depended upon
his voting with the Democrats, in the matter of
the Southern Senatorial contests. For twelve
years, the Southern Republicans have been sus
tanning the party at the risk Of their lives. Now
that they have been betrayed and abandoned
by Republican President, they think it about
time to try to save something for themselves, if
it be only their lives.

e Sad affair, Now the Bulletin will have to
go back on its beloved Hayes. The President
actually offered to appoint that notorious Inidsl,
Bob Ingersoll, as Minister to Germany-one of
the most important foreign missions. Ingersoll
has declised the appointment, but that does not
make the matter any better for Hayes. The Bull
letia is in favor Of Christianity, and resolutely
opposed to Infdels holding office, and has no al
Tentative but to "renegen on Hayes.

MAKE NOTE OF IT.-"Old Settler" appears
again, in last weeks Bulletin. He objects to our
Christianity, which We must submit to, rs Chris
tians used to being prosecuted. We want
to call attention to but two of his points They
are, that the anti-slavery banner was accursed,
and that the Republicans We're the authors of
the rebellion. Let it be remembered that all
men who were opposed to slavery accursed !;
and that the Republicans the rebels, and
the Southern people were fighting in defence of
the Constitution. This is what the champion
of Democracy in Doniphan County asserts.
While We have a feeling of disgust that any
man should be so bare faced and debased in his
assertions and sentiments, are glad from
selfish standpoint, that this writer has appear
ed in print. 1t shows what u spirit is yet alive,
right here in Kansas ready to proclaim itself, as
the Democrasic party i'm the nation approaches
power. We are glad that these men throw
ing of the mask. Hereafter, we opine, Republi-
cans will vote the Republican ticket, aud Doni-
phan County will. continue to roll up her old
time majorties.

The certificate of Sinallwood proves nothing
at all We have never said that Mowrys name
was signed to the petition. But he assisted in
the fraudulent organization, aud participated in
the advantages derived from it. We need go no
farther for proof, than his own confession.
Mowry intimates mysterously of things he is
going to show up, next week. He can have the
use of our columns to explain anything in con-
nection with the Comanche business, or to answer
any charge We have made against him but if
he proposes to pitch into other people, who have
had no part in our discussion with him, he must
seek another medium through which to reach
the public.

"OLD SErTLER."-we publish one of the dia-
tribes of this ancient denizen, in reply to little
notice of Rev. G.. w. Wood. Mr. Woods object
in asking and ours in publishing the query, has
been fully satisfied by this reply. We were both
wondering what old settler could be so ignorant
of not only circumstances, but of names, this
one appeared be. All his information seemed to
be picked up, and from very prejndiced sources,
at that. We are now fully satisfied. This "Od
Settler" is q settler of less than four years
standing. With all his opportunities of inquiry,
he is still so new that he falls into error after
error. Wilson was known to all as Granville
Wilson-nOt Gramble. Webster was not killed at
White Clond, but at Iowa Point. Hooper fired
load of shot at Yeakley, but the distance was
great, that they did but little damage. We
refer "Old Settler" to one of his own witness
es Ask John Cummins whether old Hooper
was in the habit Of firing charges of salt at men
who reused his anger.
In short, "Old Settler" knows nothing at all
about Doniphan County during the war, a nd
those who have undertaken to enlighten him,
were too much warped by prejudice to inform
him correctly. There are hundreds of Demo
Gratis in the County, who expressed their opin-
IONS uurlnS the war, anu were neitner mnruereu
nor jayhawked. At that time, society was un-
settled, and there not sufficient check upon
lawlessness. In two or three instances, it hap
pened that men had personal enemies, who took
advantage of the condition Of the country to COM
pass their revenge. As for Webster, there is
doubt that personal revenge was the motive for
his murder, although men who had been in the
Union army did the deed. Yet this "Od Settler
comes among US, at this late day, and charges it
upon the Republican party, because the murder
ed men were Democrats Many men went into
the Union army to escape the penitentiary for
crimes, as many did to escape imprisonment for
open treason. Yet this writer would saddle up
on the Republican party all the lawlessness of
war forced upon the country by the Democratic
party, because the Republicans had beaten them
at the ballot-box.

STILL They CoME-We have stirred up a reg
ular hornets nest of old Pro-slavery blisters, by
our recent remarks old times. Last week,
'More Anon," who appears to hail from Doni-
phan, put iu his shovel, in the colums of the
Bulietia and contributed his dab. All these fel-
lows want to fastrn all the crimes of the last
generation upon the Republican party. We
know all abont the election at Doniphan, in 1864.
The outrages were committed by men who called
themselves Republicans, but it was done in the
interest of Jim Lane, and nnder the leadership
of Mccall, Lanes brotIer-in-Iaw. We dcnounc-
ed it at the time, in the Chief. Men were not
prevented from voting because they were Dem
ocrats, or because they wanted to vote for Me-
Clsllan, but because they -were 0pposed To Lane.
If they had been known to be for Lane, they
could have voted for Mcclellan, or for any other
party they chose TO. This carrying on was not
done, by men as. Republicans, but as partisans
and bummers Of a political demagogue. To
prove this we have bat to state the fact that
Robert Flicknger, as good Republican as ever
lived, was the anti-Lane candidate for Repre-
sentative, and that he got but very measre
vote. So that is plain that if men were prevent
from voting for Mcclellan, they were also pre-
vented from voting for Republican. The Lane
party of that day, who committed these ontrag-
es, are not all Republicans to-day, by long
way. We could name ut least dozen men who,
in 1864, denounced us as Copperhead for op-
posing Lane, who, at the recent election, voted
the Democratic ticket; and we could name a
number of active Jayhawkers, who are to-day
active Democrats-we did not say prominent
Democrats. Iowa point used to poll about 50
Lane votes, and 90 Anti-Lane. To-day, it is
about 50 Democratic, and the Republican vote is
about the same as the Anti-Lane vote. These
facts look significant.
We respect man who is openly a Democrat,
although we do not admire his politics. But
one of your men who can never be located, we
take no stock in. "More Anon is one the latter
class. He has been Free State and Pro-Slavery,
Republican and Democrat by turns, until no party
will own him. And in 1864, when he says men
were prevented from voting for opinions sake, he
was toadying to the same crowd that were COM
mitting the outrage. What is it to him that men
are prescribed on account of their opinioui He
has none that will keep two years at a time.

B- The rumors that prevailed, a week or two
ago, that Mr.. Burkhalter's right to the Sheriff's
Office was to be contested, arose from misap
prehension. The Democrats have been electing
their Sheriff in this County for so long, that they
thought they held it by Constitutional provis-
ion, and that the election of a Republican was
unlawful. They also thought that the only
thing necessary in q contest, was to produce the
Bslietia in Court to prove that Burkhalter was
not elected fairly. They have discovered bet
ter, and Burkbalter will probably be Sheriff for
the next two years.

VA correspondent Of the Bsliefis makes a Ia
bored effort to explain that illegal voting at
Severance. He says just enough to convince us
that our charge was true. We suppose there is
not an election but some illegal votes are cast
ON both sides, but never sufficient to change the
result on County ticket. The defeated party, in
the late election, raised the cry Of illegal votes.
We wanted to show them where some Of the H.
legal votes were, and We think we succeeded.
