THREE Or 'EN.

We notice communication, and also an
Editorial in our all-day nsighbor, relating
to the United States Msrshalship, IN which
it is conceded that John M. Dunn, Esq,
As an officer of the Court he has un.
questionably been energetic and efficient,
and many Of the attorneys hold'him In great
regard for bis effectiveness In serving Writs
and performing other duties.
This is fair on part of the Every Evening
and Commercial 1T however adds that
Mr.. Dunn's shortcomings are those relating
to politics. Mr.. Dunn most solemnly denies
the charges ofimproperly appointing jurors,
and even knowledge of repeating &c.
having been done.
1t then takes James L. Hawkins Esq.
and lsuds him ~ public officer, but gives
him no very enviabls character A. poll
tician; and saya he was engaged in couple
of fights Tin the street and In . beer saloon. !"
All of this is more tended to bull it,
favorite candidate Harry McMullen, Esq: !:
for the Office of United States Marshal:
1t describes him thus,
"He Is 80 far rs We know q man with.
ont stain upon his name, and we have no
hesitation In saying that Of the thrse NAM
ed, he is the best man for United States
Marshal.
Now "fair play is bonney play" and
while We are willing to let by cones,
be by cones, in matter affecting the off.
cial integrity of Mr.. McMullen until it Is
judicialy decided, we beg our cotempory to
pass upon the relative conduct OF the
stainless man, and the rest of the trio. We
have before us letter written by
Mr.. McMullen on the official paper Of
the Internal Revenue Department,
contained in an official envelope
directed to prominent and eminent citizen
of Wilmington, which contains the follow
ing sentence: "Telling your stool pigeon
that had been reliably informed = y
please do not tell meyou did Mr.. = W. for
perhaps 1t would not be we'll for your
nasal organ.'" This letter bears date July
the 20th, 1879, and is under his official sig
nature, and marked Official business on the
envelope.
We ask any fair man II this Is not pros.
titution Of the Office he held, BY using
ito official papers, its official envelopes and
marking such as official business to convey
low threats, redolent Of the bsgnio, to .
high minded citisen with whom he had .
difference. In January 20, 1874, when Mr.,
MeMullen was = candidate for tho Repubh-
can nomination for Sheriff, he writes to the
same gentleman expressing regret for the
letter we cxttrct from. We have no feel
ing in the matter at all, but as the names
of our Senators are dragged into this Re-
publican squsbbls we deem It right to show
these gentlemen and the department, that
their pet is not such saint BY any means.
1t is pretty fight as 1t stands, and tho
less Democrats have to do with It In or out
of Congress the better. Why does not Mr..
Hayes gives US Democrat, and not =
chronic Official and oaicesseeker: He was
Road Comm misssoner, Assistant Assessor,
and candidate for Sheriff, candidate for
Pension Agent, and now candidate for
Marshall, and is ready to command the
home squadron or supply oil to . light>

In his reply to the citizens Of New

with very grateful feelings that I rec
ognize the approval of my own
townsmen. l felt sure that those
who know me would believe that l
tried, at least, to do my duty consci-
entiously in the deliberations of the
Electoral Commission. Equal cred
it is due to the other members OF it.
1t was body of men with whom it
was an honor to be associated. l
firmly believe the differences of opin-
ion were honest, and arose from the
different standpoints of individuals.
If peace and submission to law be
the result of the Commission, its Gre
alton was worth all the obloquy which
has fallen to the lot of its members.
l believe when the passions of the
hour have subsidized, it will be gener-
ally acknowledged by the thinking
men of the country that the decis-
ions come to were based on just
view of the Constitution and laws.

Letter from Southern Kan
SaG

| HUTCHINSON, KAN, March 10, 1877.
DEAR News If, as they say, "Ex-
cursions" to this country are period
ical, certainly emigration is also, for
everytime l come ''out West" I find
the train crowded with families from
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and other
Western and Northwestern States,
seeking homes in Southwest Kansas.
Mr.. John B. Glenn, of Bloomfield,
Iowa, is here, with his wife, awaiting
the arrival by teams from Bloomfield,
| of a colony of 8 or 10 families, on
their way to Harper county, this
State, where they intend to lay out
a town, with view of making a
ceunty-seat of it-induce some Rail
road company to build road to the
town, and all grow immensely rich
on the rise of property and the trade
of the country, to say nothing of the
Indians
Wheat looks well here-much bet
ter than the eastern part of the State.
took buggy ride recently from
Larned, Kansas, to the Fort of the
same name, and I saw one field of
eight hundred acres of wheat, look
ing fine. The owner expects to real
ize twenty or twenty five bushels to
the acre.
The weather is warm, grass is
growing fast, and folks are making
gardens.
Business Of all kinds is good, and
promising for the year to come.
Some little apprehension is felt on
account of last falls visit of Mr..
Grasshopper. Millions of eggs are
scattered through the soil, particu-
larly in the eastern portion of the
State, but parties living here say the
Hopper has done more good than
harm in the past-furnishing a pre-
text for shiftless people to beg, and
the supplies sent in by benevolent
people East far exceeded the amount
eaten up by the choppers.
Certainly the damage done hereto
fore has been greatly over estimated.
Stories grow as they travel, and the
matter looks much worse to Ohio
people than it does to the people liv-
ing here.
This is bound to be a great coun-
try, grasshoppers and drouth to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
I met yesterday W. L. Wallace,
formerly of Buford, in your county,
and we talked of "Old Highland" and
its good people for hours.
Many of the people here are from
Ohio. One would think sometimes
that about all the inhabitants of the
Buckeye State had moved "out |
West, or were thitherward

a Touching Obituary.

From the Chicago Times, Demo
cratic: The Forty-fourth House oi
Representatives is no more. There
is no need of any obituary writing
about the poor emasculated and
backboneless defunct. 1t was, with
out exception, the most feeble and
brainless House of Representatives
that ever assembled in America. 1t
was an assemblaga of mediocrity,
bombast, and brainlessness. In life it
never had purpose. In death it
has not left a friend. 1t came in
with bad odor and went out with a
bad smell. Miserable, heterogene-
-ous, incapable fraud-it is gone
We shall never-at least we hope
we shall neyer-look upon its like
again.

The Inauguration Bible.

Baltimore Suns Washington Cor
respondence A record of the oath
privately taken in the White House
on Saturday night by Gov. Hayes
was made by the Chief Justice at
the time, and delivered to Mr.. Fish,
to be placed on file in the State De.
partment. No official record will be
made OF the oath taken on yesterday.
The Bible on which the oath was ia
ken Saturday was a handsome one,
purchased especially for the purpose
by D. W. Middleton, Esq, Clerk of
the United States Supreme Court
1t is an expensive English edition,
bound in brown Turkey morocco,
with gilt edges. This morning Mr..
James H. Mckinney, the Deputy
Clerk of the Supreme Court, called
at the White House in behalf of Mr.
Middleton to present the Bible to
Mrs. Hayes. Mrs. Hayes was in the
red parlor, surrounded by a large
number of friends and callers. As
soon as she saw Mr.. McKenney she
said, "Oh, there's the Bible" recog-
nizing it at once. Mr.. McKenney
then presented it to her with the
compliments of Mr.. Middleton. On
the fly leaf was written: "To Mrs.
Hayes, from D. NJ. Middleton, Clerk
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, used for the administration
of the oath on the Inauguration of
Rutherford B. Hayes as President of
the United States. See 11Sth Psalm,
11th, 18th and 18th verses" Mr..
Middleton had marked the verses
at the spot where Gov. Hayes had
kissed the book. Mrs. Hayes said,
''I guess Mr.. McKenney had better
read us the verses" The ladies all
crowded around and Mr.. McKenny
read the three verses, concluding with
the following:
"They compassed me about; yea,
they compassed me about, but in the
name of the Lord 1 will destroy
them"
Mrs. Hayes laughed gaily and said,
"Oh, no, 1 guess he won't destroy
anybody" She then took the Bible
and desired that her compliments and
thanks should be given to Mr.. Mid
dleton for his welcome present.

Fred Douglass has been appoint
ed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate, as Marshal of the
District of Columbia, all the Repub-
licans and several of the Southern
Democratic Senators voting for con-
firmation, while those of the South
ern Democrats who voted against it,
stated that they did not do so on ac-
count of Mr.. Douglass color. Gen.
Morgan, of Alabama, the new Demo
cratic Senator, said: "He knew not
what course others might take, but
as for himself he should vote hearth
ly and earnestly for confirmation of
Mr.. Douglass. He himself (Gen.
Morgan) had been a Presidential
Elector. He had received 10000
votes of colored men, and it did not
lie in him, when a representative
man of their race was nominated to
the American Senate for confrma-
ton to an Office he was well qualif-
ed to hold, to vote against him. He
knew not how to ojustify such a vote in
Justice or honor, or go to the colored
people of the South again and ask
their sufrages, and more than that,
he saw new light breaking on his
country from the North. He had
read the letter of acceptance and the
inaugural of President Hayes. He
had seen by his acts that he (Hayes)
was sincere and honest in his pu1
pose, and he for himself had deter
mined to cast no vote against any
worthy nomination which this ad-
ministration might make, and to
place no obstacle in the way of the
successful accomplishment of the pa
triotic purpose of the inaugural"

Den Terley fOOre, washington
correspondent of the Boston Journal,
is responsible for the following:
One incident connected with the
appointment of the Marshal of the
Northern District of Illinois deserves
to be recorded, as showing that the
Hayes administration will not be
one of nepotism. Mr.. Stillwell of
Livingston county was one of the
unsuccessful candidates for this office.
He was admitted to a private adudi-
ence with the President, and presen-
ted his papers. The President look
ed them all carefully through, and
then looking Stillwell in the face,
said: "Your papers are unexecept-
ionaDle. There is nothing in your
record which does not seem to show
that you are fully qualified for the
position, but there is an insuperable
objection to your appointment to
any Federal Office, that is, that your
wife is a favorite cousin of Mrs
Hayes" Stillwell left the President
ial Office convinced at last that the
fact that many thought would insure
his appointment had rendered his de-
feat inevitable.

We learn that L. T. Neal, the
young man who represented this
District in the last Congress, and for
whom the Democracy did so much,
has turned his back on his party and
his friends, and has joined the grand
army of Office seekers at the hands
of the Usurper. Neal would have
been the very last man we would
have picked upon to play false to his
party and his friends [Waverly
Watchman.
Mr.. Meals offense, we suppose, is
that be acted like an honorable gen
tleman, (as we believe he is) in re-
fusing to join the ''rag tag-and-bob
tall of his party, in ''filibustering'
to prevent decision of the Presi-
dental question by the Electoral
Commission, after the whole matter
had been referred to that tribunal
by large majority of the Demo
cratic members of both Houses. Mr..
Neal deserves and will receive the
warm approval of his constituents
of both parties, for his fair, consist
ent and manly course on that occa-
sion, in spite of the yelps and snarls
of ill-natured, currish politicians,
like the editor of the Watchman.

1t was said that Mr.. Hayes would
come to the Presidential chair with
a doubtful title and general distrust.
But as matter of fact, no President
for years has during the first week
gained such universal confidence or
commanded such general support. II
there was any weakness in his &C.
cession, it has disappeared in the
strength of his wisdom and the inspi-
ration of his influence. The people
of all parties and sections are ap-
plauding him. Instead of holding
by frail tenure, he is firmly seated
in the chair of state with the strong
est popular support.-[Alb Eve
