Tilden,s Condition.

There are strange rumors and reports floating
about in New York City concerning the condition
of Tilden's mind, which may not be true. A
private letter from New York to n citizen of Chi
cago, dated February S, contains the following
remarkable statement:
Look ont for news that Tilden is 60
ing the same way that poor Greeley did. The
following was told me to-day by gentleman
not given to gossip or exaggeration. He said
that the Hon. John r. Mcpherson, the Senator
elect from New Jersey, accompanied by q friend,
called upon Mr. Tilden shortly after McPherson's 9
election "a few days ago), and were received by
the "Claimant" in confused sort Of way, and,
instead of referring to McPherson's election by
the extraordinary close vote of one majority, or
to party matters in New Jersey, ho sat with un-
adjusted trousers-his breeches hanging loosely
about him-and, with book in hand, talked for
an hour in distracted, vehement manner about
Florida, Louisiana and Oregon-especially Flor
ida-repeating himself over and over again. Ny
informant further said that when Senator Nc
Pherson got ont side he said to his companion,
"Tilden's mind is affected he won't live year,
whether he gets into the White House or not

~ portion of the regular business of every
Kansas Legislature, consists of investigating
rascalites of the preceding year, aud kicking
the correspondent of the Kansas City Times out
of the Capitol for insolence. The present Legis-
lature has performed both these duties, and is
now almost ready to adjourn.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1877-02-15

However, we had our misgiviags as to the efsct
in this County, which were fully realized. "A ma
jority Of the County officers, who had been elec-
ted by the Free State party, took sides with the
Democrats, as the Pro-Slavery party now called
themselves, ana, as they professed, were in favor
Of . afree white State" Many other prominent
Free State men also went with them and, in
short, the Republican party never won com
plete victory in the County from that time until
after the war broke out. They managed to elect
portions Of their ticket, by very slim majorites,
while the Democrats elected - many or more Of
theirs. 1t mag not be amiss to refer to the coin
cidence, that Horace Greeley came to Kansas to
organize the Republican party, which resulted
in this state of things in Doniphan County; and
that since Greeley attempted to disorganize the
Republican party by running the Democratic
candidate for President, Democrats have filled
large proportion Of our County Offices.
Since the admission of Kansas, the Radicals
have been those who recognized and followed
Jim Lane as a leader, while the Conservatives
were those who opposed Lanes Dictatorship.
We belonged to the latter, and have never had
cause to regret it. Lane had a name that was
of service to the Free State people in early days.
but we always believed him to be demagogue
and q fraud. His last days proved it, and did
not surprise us . particle. such is our Conserv-
ative record. Looking back, we find nothing to
be ashamed Of
We may add, in conclusion, that Web. Wilder
was such rampant Radical, and SO dispised the
name Of Conservative, that when he was bull
dozed out of St. Joseph, at the beginning of the
rebellion, he started paper in Leaveuworth,
which he called the Conservative in pure derision
of the term. He designed TO make it SO rej-hot
in Radealism, as to cause the name Conserva-
tive to look ridiculous

rY- Some of the Kansas papers are trying to
create a scare, by saying that s. c. Pomeroy con-
templates being candidate for Senator two
years hence, and that he had finger in the re-
cent election, preparing the way for his own
contemplated candidacy. Thousands in Kansas
would he glad to know that this was true. Pom
eroy was the best Senator Kansas ever had. The
people have come to despise the conspiracy by
which he was defeated, and have forced the
wretch who CARRIED ont the scheme to become
an exile and an outcast They will welcome the
day when Pomeroy is returned to the position
ont of which he was defrauded.

~ The people of Leavenworth County have

from their debt incurred by voting railroad
bonds and propose to settle with creditors at 50
cents on the dollar; and the people Of Atcbison

examples before her, is talking Of voting bonds

ha wing been no election in the time prescribed
by law, q new election will have to be ordered
next Fall. The Republicans have proven too
smart for the Democrats, thus far, and will be
very likely to do SO to the end. 1t is question
whether an election can be annulled or vitiated
by the sworn officers of the law refusing to per-
form part of their duty. The Electoral Com

W as never politician in Kansas who had bet
ter prospect than Lowe. He was the man picked
upon to overturn the Clarke dynasty, an inau-
gurate Il better style in politics. But he proved
failure. disappointed his friends, and became .
salary -grabber. His repeated failures since to
secure nominations even, show that he has lost
his grip. He might have got through in the
Senatorial fight, had 1t not been for the injudi-
cions war his especial friends, with his sanction,
carried on against Gov. Osborn, whose friends,
in turn, went back on the cancus agreement, and
gave the victory to Plumb. As to Harvey, he
has always relied on owlish wisdom and "bnll-
head luck" to carry him through. He has been
noted chiefly for turning his back upon the
friends who did the most for him, until at last
he had no friends to do him any good. Drag
them out (; they have had their day.

BEpLAM ON THE RAAPAax.-A squad Of old
granny, played-out preachers have inst held .
three-days' confah and chicken feast at . four
corners called North Cellar, in Jackson County.
They dub the gathering State Convention Of
the Anti-secr-t Society Association. II was .
hefty affair. Free-Masonry and Odd Fellowship
were thoroughly annihilated. Two preachers,
who had been through these orders, told every
thing they know aboat them, aud . good deal
they didn't know, and condueted the ceremony
of initiating candidates into each of them. A
all secret societies require persons to take and
subscribe to very explicit and sacred obligations
to Rerer reveal anything connected with them,
whether they continne members CT not, it can
readily be seen how much honor, manhood and
integrity these old chicken-hawks possess A
man who will violate as solemn an obligation as
are generally administered in secret orlers, is
too infamous to associate with honorable people,
and ought to be summed a. > moral leper. Be-
cret orders accomplish . vast deal Of good, and
certainly do no harm TO either politics or relg-
ion. Their crowning glory is their liberation,
without which, no such thing as real fraternity
or true religion, or anything else good among
men, can exist. These old plugs are evidently
either knaves or rlunatics-probably the latter.
