Just Tributes to Senator Ingalls,.

Upon his return home to Atchison
last week Senator ingalls, was given q
very hearty reception by his fellow
citizens without regard to party-in
fact prominent Democrats were con-
spicuous upon the occasion. His
friends throughout the State will be
pleased to hear of the deserving COM
pliment. The St. Joseph (Mo.) Her
aid says: Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas,
was in the city last night. He took a
very prominent part in the exciting
and important events of last winter,
but seems well preserved and fresh.
We were glad TO hear from him that
the policy of the President for the pa
cification of the South aud the reform
of the civil service meets with his APP
provai, and he so declared in the re-
ception speech made TO his fellow-citi-
zens in Atchison. TheWest has no
Senator now more accomplished than
ingalls,, and very few, if any of more
influence. His support of the Presi-
dent is an honor TO him and to his con.
stituents, and will be important and
valuable in the Senate.''
Which is followed by the Leayen-
worth Times: 1.-The record which Mr..
ingalls, has made for himself compels
his worst enemies to concede that he
is the ablest representative Kansas ev-
err had in the United States Senate.
The reception rendered him at his
home in Atchison, upon his return
from Washington, and which was par
tieipated III by the citizens of the
citizens of the place, wholly regardless
of party, furnishes good index to the
esteem in which be is held by the
whole people of Kansas He is rep
resentative of the State, of whom the
State is justly proud"
