The transfer Of the remains OF Colonel
John O'Mahoney, the .exFenian leader,
to ireland is exciting a gao deal OF
attention here, and the Irish Nationalist
are awaiting them selves OF the occasion
To make the funeral & demonstration
against British rule ia Ireland. Inc
preparations are on very extensive
scale, and the whole population Of Ire
land and the hundreds OF thousands OF
Irish residents in England aud Scotland
are excited TO fever heat. There can be
no doubt that the funeral and the recep>
ton oil the body IN tho various towns
through which it will pass on It's way to
interment will be one Of the most sig
nificant outbursts OF popular feeling
which has taken place 10 ireland Tor
many years.

Wsh Men.

The "wah; men of the north do not
seem to rank very high with the Vir-
GINA Democrats. The st. Louis
Globe Democrats correspondent at
Washington in recent letter says:
| heard lately of Virginia Demo
cratic member of Congress, who, after
hearing Randall and Fernando Wood
buster on the floor of the House, re-
marked quietly: 80, d those fell
lows: they're mere windbags. 1t was
they who declared that their dead
bodies should be walked over before
we should be invaded in 81. My
State was invaded, riddled, torn to
pieces: SO was the whole south; but
their dead bodies didn't die bit.
They are dead enough, so far as their
influencing the south is concerned:
but the fools don't know they're dead;
and when politician is dead, and
dosn't know it, he's the eussedest
kind of fool"

Kansas Legislature.

A looker-on at Topeka has been gaz-
ing at the assembled wisdom of Kan
sas. the past few days, and under date
of January u, writes to the ST. Louis
Globe Democrat: 1.-The eyes of the
State of Kansas, and indeed, 10 some
extent, of the United States, are now
turned upon Topeka, where another
United States Senator is TO be elected.
For, at this juncture, when the United
States Senate is so evenly balanced be-
tween the political parties, great inter-
est centers in all Senatorial elections.
Tilden's bar'l of money has been rolled
down 10 Springfield. Illinois, TO aid in
defeating gallant John Logan, aud Mr.
Hewitt will probably be anxious to in
vest in couple of the Sucker State
'smules." But heaven be thanked, the
Confederate Democracy have no abid-
ing place on these free prairies, and
whoever. of the candidates for the
United States Senate, may happen TO
be elected in Kansas, the country may
rest assured that he will give no un-
certain sound on the vital questions OF
progress, public schools, human free
dom and all the other priceless boons
that are now again threatened by the
rcvivified Democracy of 1860"

The arkansas city IrdUeler says
Chetopa, noted chief of the Osages,
is very low with consumption, and is
not expected TO live. He is one of the
most intelligent and probably the best
Indian Of the Usage tribe. The MEN,
bers of his band are daily mourning
for him, and paint their faces. If he
dies, there will proabbly be the largest
mourning party organized that has
ever left the agency. The agent has
beeu assured by leading men of the
tribe that they will not commit any
depreciation when the mourning party
goes out, but that they will merely go
through the form of sending an enc
my's scalp with him to the happy hunt
ing grounds. On such an occasion, il
can hardly be expeated that they will
lay aside all religious rites and the es
tablished customs of their forefathers,
and we would not like to be caught in
the Territory alone while the party is
out. "Che-to-pa" means four lodges,
and the name is derived from the old
chief attacking and capturing four
lodges of his enemies many years ago.
He will be remembered by many of our
citizens, who always had considerable
esteem for him.

Bulldo.inr G,eenbsokers,

The greenback members of the Kan
sas Legislature met in caucus in Rep
resentative Hall, Monday evening, and
passed the following resolutions:
Resolred, AS the sense of this eau
Gus, that the so-called resumption act
Of January 14th, 1876, should be re-
pealed.
2. That the true policy of the coun-
try is TO provide one uniform currency
to be issued directly by the govern
ment, based upon the credit Of the ma
ton, and made legal tender for all
debts public and private, except where
there is contract to pay in coin.
3. That we are opposed to the cleo
ticn of any man to the United States
Senate not in favor of the above poll
cy.
They then addressed the following
letter to the different candidates for
the United States Senate, and received
the following replies from the different
aspirants, except Simons and Simpson
who tailed to answer:
TOPEKA, January %, 1877.
Hon. SIR:-lf you are elected to the
United States Senate will you vote 10
repeal the presumption act;" will you
vote to repeal the national banking
law" and in faver of law providing
that all paper money shall be issued
directly by the government, based upon
government credit!
Will you, if elected, work to build
up the productive industries of the
west ard against the money power OF
the cast?
An answer to-day is much desired.

Be Prepared.

A Washington dispatch to Chica-
go organ of the bulldozers says that
Kentucky has concluded to respond
to the call of Wattcrson, and that she
will send to Washington Oh the 4th of
March 100000 Democrats. Other
States will follow suit, it is supported,
and it is fondly expected that the great
army of bulldozers will see TO it that
Tilden is duly elected and inaugurated
by the House of Representatives.
1t is understood that MIR. Hewitt
does not approve of this gathering;
but he will be overborne by the less
sensible men of the party like Waiter
son and SO, unless fresh unless fresh
instructions are instructions are is
sued, the 100000 KentuckIans, or the
10000, or whatever the number may
be, may be expected TO be on hand.
Of course, in such an event, they
will be met at the capital, or before,
with an equal force to oppose them,
and the result can hardly be other than
unfortunate. We advise Democrats
who are in petition to speak authori-
tatively to say now to their followers
that they are not wanted in Washing
ton OIL Inauguration day. 1t will be
much better for all parties to stay at
home: better that crowds of excited
partisans on both sides postpone their
visit. But if such advice is not given,
or if it is evident that it is not to be
observed even if it is given, we hope
that due preparation will be made TO
receive the visitors. We want no
more surprises. no more Sumters, no
more tritling with roiters uatil they
grow into the statue of revolutiOnists.
The safety and peace of this country
depend upon its readiness to meet dam
ger and violence. One hundred thou
sand men visiting Washington at a
time of great political excitement and
at the call of well-known advocates of
fsrce--like Watterson, for instance, an
ex-officer of the rebel army-can have
but one object, and that is rebellion.
There is no legal way to prevent these
persons from assembling these persons
from assembling there, perhaps, but
there is way TO prevent them from
doing mischief after they are assem-
bled, aud this way must be pursued
fearlessly, positively, unfinchingly.
There must be no trusting to luck in
this matter. AS the President said
but few weeks since, the surest way
10 preserve peace is TO be prepared for
war. The capital of the nation must
not be made the scrambling ground
of disgracefnl factions. Let the warn
ing be needed in time. The President
is the commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, and of the militia of the
several States when called into SER
vice. If he wants force in Washing
ton to make sure that "the laws are
faithfully executed let him speak the
word, he will have them in such num-
bers as to insure peace and preserve
domestic tranquility Inter D cedn.

There were nearly forty sacks OF
mail for Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois
on the railway train destroyed at Ash
tabula. In addition there was paper
mail for Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas,
and Colorado, and & foreign mail for
Chicago and points west of Chicago
The greater part of this mail was de-
stroyed, and many missing letters and
papers are to be accounted for in this
way. In cases where persons have
reason TO believe that important let
tiers written by themselves were lost
at Ashtabula, they should be prompt
in forwarding such statements or in
formation as will cause the loss of let
tiers to be felt as little as possible. Per-
sons expecting letters written just pre-
vious to the date of the accident
should make all reasonable allowances

There is one thing about the plan
for counting the electoral vote that
will strike the American people with
pain. 1t is the selection of the four
justices of the supreme court accord
ing to their supposed political pro-
clivities, and advertises beforehand
that the committee expects them to
follow their party predictions. AS
a contemporary very pcrtinently in:
quires, what then is the use of re-
quiring them TO take all oath to de-
eide judicially. Perhaps it is only in
tended that the fifth Que TO be selected
by the four shall do SO.

Hons. Welcome Wells aud S ". Wood:
GENTLEMEN II received your favor
this evening, and answer it at the first
moment.
AS public servant, recognize the
propriety of the people, or OF their
representatives, to inquire into the po-
litical views of public servants. or of
those who NAV become so.
/ think | recognize the spirit and
purpose of your questions, and have
fiattcred myself that my public record
was no uncertain answer.
have never hesitated TO defend the
positions thought to be right, with
out stopping to inquire as to their GER
tain success. have voted for the re-
peal of the resumption act on several
occasions: always favored it. voted
against the law In the first place.
| voted for the demonstration of the
silver dollar | think the national
banki ing system is full of defects, and
favor changes in the system in the line
you suggest the moment it can be done
without too sudden contraction.
The many bills have introduced
and supported in behalf of the.people
against all who invade their just rights,
is perhaps the best answer | can give
your closing question.
am, with respect, very truly yours,
w. a. PHILLIPS.
