Atkinson, Kan, Feb. 2s.-Emigration

emierants arrived in this city to-day, des

All this Is the result Of advertising. The

the people Of the advantages oferedby Kan

wise legislators here in the winter of 1877,
but their wisdom saw not beyond the penny

when an opportunity for future Liquidation

vantages over Dakota, but the people of the
east are not supposed to be aware Of that
fact without being informed on the subject.

One year ago to-day President Hayes
stood before the assemblage which gathers
at the national capitol every four years to
witness the ceremony that gives to the peo-
pie a new executive and took the oath OF
Office as president Of the United States. He
was the fifth republican president chosen by
the people and entered upon the duties OF
his Office with the full confidence of the
party which had placed him in q position
of honor, trust and power. The develop
ments Of the past twelve months have con-
WINGED the majority Of his party friends
that their confidence was misplace and at
the end Of this brief space Of time the pres
ident finds himself politically alone,
while he stands as the acknowledged head
Of great nation. He has sought to rally
the enemy about his standard and failing
utterly in this he has achieved the still
more humiliatlng failure Of sacrificing the
fealty of those who q year ago were his
ardent supporters. 1t Is q eheerless record

THE DISTRIBUTIONS TAXATION.

In an editorial published in the Washing
ton Democratic organ Friday, July 8, the
editor, after stating that he seldom attempts
TO amusc his readers with an array of fig
urcs, proceeds to illustrate what he terms
the unequal distribution Of taxation under
Radica! laws For this purpose he compares
the several amounts of internal taxes paid
by the States Of Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky,
Virginia, and North Carolina with the States
OF New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
Maine, Rhode Island and Vermont for the
fiscal year 1877, as compared with the prop
erty valuation Of the same States per census
tables of l-1O.
BY this array Of Iigures he amuses his
readers with the astounding fact that while
the former five States paid an aggregate
amount of So, ,S3i ,3s5.75 on property val
uNtiou of $j,G3l IA, 500, the latter six States
only paid the sum OF S23,753, ,932 80 on a
property voluation of Sl3,32l 800 Os7. These
figures, presuming them to be correct,
though we have not attempted to verify them
from published tables OF statistics, would,
indeed, show an alarming inequality in the
of taxation, If the collections
had been made on the basis of property val
uation But the nerest tyro in political

PAYMENT FOR SLAVES.

Our Democratic morning contemporary
grows quite earnest in denouncng the talk
about paying rebel claims as particular
scare" and about paying the rebels for
their slaves" as sheer nonsense. 1t saws:
1t is vain to urge that before this could he
done constitution amendments must be re-
pealed, which would require the cooperation
Of the Legislatures of three. fourths of all the
States; that the South no more demands it or
expects 1t than she expects to find Radical
honesty; that not q Democratic journal or
statesman Of any note has ever proposed such
thing, or would ever sanction it.
In answer to this we simply cite the pres
ent situation in the banner Southern Dem
ocratic State Of Georgia. In nearly every
county in that State carefully prepared
memoranda, certified to by living witnesses
under proper legal seal, have been prepared
of the number and value of slaves emanci-
pated by the war. These memoranda are
carefully preserved in the hope that at some
future day the Sufferers" by the emanci-
patton of their slave property will be remu-
nerated. That they expect this remunera-
ton is not only evidenced by the fact that
these lists have been SO carefully prepared
and preserved, but by the further fact that
the press encourages the people to believe
that in due time the amendments prohibit
ing such payments will be repealed. Not
only this, but highly respectable and influ-
entail Democratic journals of note have
gone so far as to argue in favor of that re-
peal. The Macon Telegraph and Messenger
is one of these journals. We quote from it
rs follows:
Those slaves were not cannon and bayonets
and armed foes in the late so-called rebellion,
and in no sense "contrabaud." They were
our property, solemnly and specifically recog-
nized as such, and duly protected and guaran-
tced by that Constitution and Union which
our adversaries alleged they took up arms to
maintain intact aud defend. Moreover, they
took no part in that fraticidal struggle save
when forced TO join the ranks of the invader
and wage war against their best friends and
benefactors. On the banditti principle that
might makes right" aud TO the "yictor be-
longs the spoils, only, therefore, can this rob-
berry OF an impoverished people be justified.
Again:
We cannot but indulge the hope that when
we have helped to cxtinguish the public debt
and time has healed the gaping wounds of the
past, when reason aud brOthcrly love shall
have fully reganed the ascendancy over pre-
judice and hate, even though it shall be the
next generation, a brave and honorable people
OF the same blood and lineage will see to it
that the value of our property in slaves shall
be returned TO those from whom it was wrong
fully wrested. 1t will do no harm to keep this
question before the people, that they may pre-
serve the records and proper memoranda of
their former slaves, in the event that a return.

EX-REBEL GENERAL JAMES LoNGsTREET,
in his testimony before the PORTER court
Of inquiry, says:
II PORTER had made an attack on him the
Goth, he could have held him without drawing
from the rest Of the army.
This bit Of opinion relates to the Goth
August, when PORTER was directed by Cen
eral PorE TO attack. It is a gratifying NOR
sci Of rebel testimony to PORTER, and his
friends will probably make the most of IT,
But the question naturally arises, is il not
simply an opinion after ALL and IN opinion
formed since the occurrences to which il re-
lates ? 1t is very easy to get up such opin-
ions. What the people and the court, or
the board, or whatever it is called, want to
know is what LoNGsTREET and PORTER
thought then, at the very time of the action.
This information LoSGsTREET gives very
pointedly, and it is not so satisfactory to
PORTER as the dnte-be1um spinion. We
quote again from his testimony:
General LEES plan was for LoSGsTREEr to
bring on an engagement, and the latter asked
him to make reconnaissance, which he did,
and deemed the plan hazardous from seeing q
large number OF troops in front of him. which
he afterward learned were those of Generals
PORTER and Mcdowell. Because Of the
woods in front Of him, he thought his position
good one for defense.
This expression Of current opinion based
upon the surrounding circumstances of the
time and place of the event in question,
places the matter in another light 1t
shows that LOSGsTREET prudentially hesi-
tated 10 attack PORTER at time when PoR-
TER insubc .dinately neglected to attack
him. 1t was not n case Of "one afraid and
;" the other dare not" but it was case of
prudence on one side and criminal reprehen-
sibility on the other. Undoubtedly, if PoR-
TER had obeyed orders, LONGsTREET's cur
rent opinions would have been changed and
that was exactly what General POPE wanted
him and ordered him to do.

WHILE the nation at large is jubilant

Of its crew at Norfolk. The Analostan

dipped their oars in water. The crew had
never prIcticed together; one member had
not rowed for two years, and the course
was strange to all of them. Apart from this,
there were several interruptions during the
race, which served to confuse the visitors.
They accepted their defeat gracefully, and
