GETTING BACK HOME.-I It bas been charged
against the Republican party, that it was infest-
ed with thieves. plunderrrs, and rascals of every
description. If this was true, it was BECAUSE the
Republican party was in power, and these classes
OF men always stick To the party liz power. But
as the prospect seems to brighten for the Democ-
racy to gaia control of the Government, we find
these fellows the very first ones to leave the Re-
publican party, and hasten to get back home.
The thieves. the plunderers, tho convicts, the
carpet-baggers, and the shysterins time servers,
are all becoming disguised with the corruption of
the Republican party. The Pattersons and Con-
overs, the Pinchbacks and the Troy Bslletin,
will all soon be Democrats in good standing,
raising their holy voices agninst the crimes of
the Republican party
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1877-12-06

ELECTING SHEKIFFs.-We have often wonder
ed why it was, that Democratic or opposition par.
ties cOuld elect Sherifs, when they lost all other
offices. No matter how large the majority
against them, they manage to elect the Sheriff,
or run very close that Office Do they make
the greatest effort on that Office, and trade of
everything else for iti We used to live in a
County in Ohio that was always sure for a Wing
majority of 600 to 900, and afterwards, for Re-
publican majority fully as great. The Demo
Gratis were never known to elect a candidate to a
County Office, except Sheriff, which they elected
in three or four instances. Montgomery Coun-
ty, in the same State, was close between the par
ties, but the Wings generally carried it by from
20 to 200 maj ority, Zen everything but Sheriff
that Office the Democrats had nearly all the
time. Coming down to the present time, the
Democrats always make the closest fight on
Sheriff. They have had that Office in this Coun.
ty for the last four years. and made the hardest
fight Oh it this year. In Northern Kansas, the
Democrats, or Independents, or Peoples party,
or whatever name they are known by, have elec-
ted nearly all the Sheriffs. They have done so
in Brown, Nemaha, Marshall, and Washington
all strong Republican Counties-and in large
number of other Counties throughout the State
This is puzzle for political philosophers to ci-
pher out.

C. G. ScRAFFoRD.-A friend of Mr.. Scraford,
who has been in correspondence with him, re-
Gently wrote us that he expected to return home,
this Winter; but news received within the past
few days, indicates that he will return whether
he wishes to or not. He has been at Callao, in
Peru, and arrangements have been in progress,
= for some time, to secure his arrest. 1t seems
that he was in partnership with an American,
down there, and the partner found out who he
was. They had some business difficulties, and
for revenge, the other undertook to betray him
and wrote q letter to the Governor of Kansas,
informing him where Scrafford was. 1t is said
that another person was with Scrafford, who,
from the description, must have been Lappin.
They found out that a movement was on foot to
arrest them, and attempted to escape. Scrafford
was caught, but the other one got away. Scraf-
ford again made his escape from ship, but was
re-arrested, and is now in prison at Callao,
awaiting requisition from the Government of
the United States, which has been forwarded.

A CLASS MEETING STORY.-When the editor of
the Bulletin goes to giving his good reasons for
"the faith that is in him." and how he was in
duced to fall from his faith, it will doubtless be
similar to the story of old Mother Snooble-
dyke in the experience meeting. Said she:
brothers and sisters, this is a world of tempt
alton and sin, and the Devil is always around, a
laying snares for the Christian. Brothers and
sisters, You know that flax-seed is skeerse, this
season and while was wonderin' where in the
world could git some to SOW in my field, don't
you think that Brother Jones had the impudence
to come and offer me bnshel of nax-seed for my
virtue '-and he knowed very wen that there was
no other fax-seed in the country, and 1 must
have it!"

The COMING WINTER.-The reader will doubt.
less be thankful to know just the kind of Winter
we are going to have. Here it is, prognosticatcd
by infallible signs:
The corn husks thin, indicating q mild winter !:
the woods full of mast unfailing sign of long
hard winter; there are myriads of spiders, mild win
teri of caterpillars hard winter the squirrels
are idle and listless, mild winter the goosebone is
white and gray, mild and hard winter; the woochuck
stays out hard winter. 1t is indeed, only question
of time when the system of weather prognosticatons
will become one of the exact sciences
Here is additional testimony the same sub
ject:
The farmers are prophesying unusually early,
long and winter from the fact that the gopher
holes are surrounded with unusual quantity of
dirt, the pine cones very large. the shucks
ceedingly thick ladies' are demanding more clothing,
and sneak thieves are going through the halls for
warm OvercOats.
We may add, that the leaves still continue to
cling to the trees in uncommonly large numbers,
which indicates hard Winter. Any other in
formation will be gratefully received.

morning, as pious gentleman, superintendent
of Sunday school, was on his way to the school,
he came to where a little boy named Columbus
was punching away with all his might into a
huge pile Of drift wood with a long pole.
"What are you stirring in there for ?" asked
the gentleman.

The ODECTIN ViEw.-The great contest in the
United States Senate resulted, last week, in the
admission of Kellogg, Republican, of Louisiana,
and Butcher Butler, of Souih Carolina, Democrat,
TINS leaving the relative strength Of the parties
unchanged. But this can be made all right by
the Democrats ipdicting Kellogg for some crime,
as they did Patterson, and attempting to drag
him away TO Louisiana, to send him to the PEN
itentiary. Men who have resorted to murder
and rebellion to accomplish their ends, will not
hesitate at any innocent little trick like this.
The Democrats are resorting to these desper-
ate measures, not simply for the sake of having
n majority in the Senate, but in order to accom-
plish their control of the Government. Tillen,
in a recent interview, declared that he had not
given up The contest for the Presidency, but
that when his party obtained control Of both
branches of the Government, it was the inten-
tion to declare him the rightfnl President, and
TO refuse to recognize Hsyes. We're this the
only harm they could do, We wouId rejoice to
see the traitor ousted from q position which he
has used only to betray his friends. A Demo-
cratic President would be but little worse for
the Republican party than Hayes has been,
while it would unite them for the future. Hayes,
by his conduct, has failed to gain the respect or
confidence of the Democratic party; bnt his
treachery has almost put it within their power
to hurl him from Office; and if they do succeed
in gaining control of the Senate, we shall rejoice
to see the first frightful example made of Hayes
himself.
