understand he was appointed to the Connisson-
shp through the personal influence of Senator John
j Ingalls, and all outward indications observant in
the last two year, clearly prove it have not been
able to search the record TO who offered the bill to
allow the Connissioass taaoOo additional but will
in few days. It ID altogether probable that Mr.. In
gals offered it, and engsesrsd il through the Senate
1t looks like shanklia night have infiusnesd him
enough to aid in the project. Henry was worried
little about it, last night, ct the National" and
told Lssvenworth man, this morning, that he was
'.going to the country"
Mr. ingalls, seens unfortunate in his appointments
not only those selected in the State but Others out
side He has three four appointees in this city,
who cannot claim Kansas in any deceney and in Law
not at all. His appointment of Tough, u S. Mar
shai, was sAamsful and . disgrace to our State.
Tough was insolvent in character, if not in fortune,
and every man in the State knew it. The wonder
ment with me- whom first heard of the appointment,
was to know who responsible for it, and how any
man holding the position of Senator Congressman
could take Tough into his oonfdenrc. When Tough
solicited private chat with Judge Lowe, the Judge
plainly gave him to understand that he had no 60
erets, nor wished to hear any, that friend Of his
present not able to hear perfectly proper fer
him to hear. Recently, when the celebrated ex-Aar-
shal was here. the distinguished Senator could have
been seen whrlng around the streets Of the Capital
behind fast horse, with his friend Charles Miller
owes his appointment to Mr.. Ingalls,, if Mr.. Harvey
went through the formalty Of carrying the papers to
the President, and requesting it made. 1t is se
cret here to who Charley is under obligations to-
There is another thing that Mr.. should let hear
something about, namely: his position on the fnan
eis question. He is classed here with the bankers
and bullonists Of New England and it seems to me
about time for him to come out squarey and let tho
State know where he stands on this important sub
ject His vote has been with them his voice never
against them, and consequently We must believe him
in their sympathy Let us hear from you, brother In
gals, on the financial issue. like Mr.. Ingalls,, per
sonally, very much; but when he purposely avoids
tho peoples interests, shall speak to him plainly
about it. and in q he will DO likely to notice
Many find fant with Senator and think him a
little too 'hghtoned" for ordinary mortals but then
they forget that he il 'nearsghted and often brush
es his intimate friends without recognizing them Our
frisnd Wells is NO doubt painfully conscious Of this
fact but he will be satisfied il Mr. Ingalls, smiles on
him once in six years PLUTo
