"A PARCEL OF WHIFFETS.,,

Ward Burlingame, who. is private Secre-
tary to Senator Plumb, and well-known to
everybody in Kansas, is the Washington
correspondent Of the Atchison Compton.
From his letter published in Sunday morn
ing's Champion We clip the following para
graph:
As you have doubtless been advised,
charges have been preferred against Col. An
thony, recently nominated for re-appoint-
ment as Postmaster of Leavenworth, and a
special agent has been sent TO make an in
vestigation. The charges, / am informed,
embrace all the WORKOUT truck which has
formed the staple Of Leavenworth contro-
versies for almost a generation, and are the
work of men from whom Col. Anthony had a
right TO expect better things There are par
Gel of whihets here who are never happy save
when they are in mischief-a species of the
genus pimp plying their vocation for employ
ers in the background. High on this roll OF
honor appears the name of Hawkins Taylor,
a toothless old reprobate who, by the grace of
Jim Lane, was once a special agent in Kan
sas. Singularly enough, men who spent six
months or such a matter in Kansas twelve or
hftsen years ago act as though they had a
vested interest in the control of the State,
and as though it were an act of extreme haz-
ard for the constant resident of more than a
score of yeare 10 encIoach upon their noisome
and oozy jurisdiction In this aTrny the
Sunken eye and serpent-lilse countenance
of Hawkins Taylor form a conspicuous fea-
ture.
There is no doubt that the charges against
Col.Anthony will be met as they have been
heretofore, and thst he Will be confirmed.

HENRY MCKEE.

Henry Mckee, formerly resident of this
city, and well known to all the old citizens
sf Leavenworth, has had large claim
against the Government pending for a long
time past, with fair prospects of recovery,
but by recent division of the Supreme
Court, be has been defeated. Ward Bur-
ingames Washington letter, in the Atchi-
son Champion OF the 18th, says:
In the summer of 1854, Henry Mckee, "for-
.nerly Of Kansas" an old citizen of Leaven-
worth, had a contract foI delivering hay at
Fort Gibson, at Cabin Creek, and at Hud-
sons crossing of the Neosho river, in the In
dian Territory. The Government contracted
TO furnish sufficient guards and escort TO pro-
tect the contractor. A large amount of hay
was cut, and destroyed by the enemy before
delivery, and for this the Government paid.
1t also paid for his losses in wagons, horses
and other property, amounting to over fif-
teen thousand dollars. He also secured q
Judgment in the Court Of Claims for nearly
thirty thousand dollars for profits on hay
neither delivered nor cut, because prevented
by the enemy. The Court also allowed a set
OF of upwards of twelve thousand dollars in
behalf of the Government for money alleged
TO have been wrongfully paid Mckee for hay
and property lost and destroyed. From this
allowance Mckee appeal to the Supreme
Court, and the United States appealed from
the allowance Of profits on the contract to
Mckee. The Supreme Court Justice Miller
delivering the opinion, has reversed both
judgments Of the Court Of Claims. McKe<
loses his claim for profits, for which he has
been working here for years, and the Govern
ment fails to secure q drawback nom the
moneys heretofore paid Mckee under hi.
contract.

CTREFOR DRUNkENNESS

The Scientific American contains an ac-
count OF an experimental test OF Liebig's
theory for the cure OF habitual drunken
ness. The experiment consisted of a simple
change fdiet, and was tried upon twenty-sev-
enpersons, with satisfactory results. The diet
proposed is farinaceous, and in the cases re-
ported was composed OF macoroni, haricot
beans, dried peas and lentils. The dishes
were made palatable by being thoroughly
boiled and seasoned with butter or olive oil.
Breads OF highly glutinous quality were
used, care being taken to prevent their being
soured in course of preparation. In his ex-
PLANTATION of the theory, Liebig remarks
that the disinclination for alcoholic stimu-
iants, after partaking of such food, is due
to the carbonaceous starch contained there
in, which renders unnecessary and distaste-
full the carbon of the liquors. If this plan
proves successful, it will be the medium OF
efiecting a more thorough reform than
wears OF legislative enactment or spasms of
social works can possibly accomplish.

NOT RIG HT.

Mr.. Beecher is advertised to lecture in
Leavenworth, and the price of tickets is
stated at one dollar. The same gentleman
is advertised to deliver the same lecture in
St. Louis, and the price of admission there
is to be fifty cents. This discrimination
against Leayenworth is not because ii costs
any more to hire hall or deliver lecture
in this city that in ST. Louis, but because
we have no frst-class place for
amusements and entertainments, and
no place large enough TO hold paying au-
dience for a first-class speaker or actor at
fifty cents ticket. Everybody admits that
we ought to have better place than we
have for public entertainments, and if a
few public spirited citizens would take hold
OF the matter in earnest, We believe they
could give us one. But good place or poor
place, dollar a ticket, these times, is too
much, for any kind of an entertainment.
The great majority of entertainments would
make more money at twenty-five cents than
at any higher price, while fifty cents, without
any extra charge for reserved seats, is senough
for the best. In these times, when laborers
are working for dollar aday, and most peo-
pie have constant struggle to make end:
meet. there is no good reason why speaker
or actor, even though he be star of The
| first magnitude. should expect to take il
six, seven, or eight, hundred dollars night
The number of first-class speakers and ac
tors who have been obliged to appear, NOR,
than once during the past season, befor,
empty benches, ought to be sufficient t,
teach people tha; in these hard times, full
houses can generally be had only by low
prices. The number of public speaker
who are able to fill an ordinary lecture hal
at dollar ticket, are wonderfully scare
in these days.

POSTAL CHANGES.

The new bill agreed upon by the House
Committee on Postal affairs-of which we
published an abstract yesterday morning
is creating qnite stir among the great
dailies, because of the fact that it prohibits
the sending of printed matter outside Of
the mails. The Chicago Tribune Of the 18th
says:
Great Indignation and alarm are said to
have been excited among daily newspaper
publishers In consequence of.the provision in
the bill just agreed upon by the House Post.
Office committee forbidding the forwarding
of printed matter through any channel ex.
cept the mails. The bill has not been report.
ed In the House, much less passed, and il its
provisions in any way hinder or increase the
cost of the prompt transmission of the news.
papers to their readers 1t may be set down as
certain that the indignant protests of the
publishers will be backed d by the imperative
demand Of the people that Congress let well
enough alone. The quickest, shortest, and
cheapest way of delivering the newspaper
from the press-room to the reader is one o.
the settled requirements of the day and age
and any legislation which interferes with OF
impedes the system of news distribution i.
sure TO be unpopular.

He argued that If Congress had the power
70 make corporations, it had the power to
unmake them. Branch roads had been
built by these roads and they had millions
in their treasures, and the people OF the
country were crushed with taxation 10 pay
the interest on their debt
N. MITCHELL then took the floor, bat
said he would prefer to 60 on with his re-
marks tomorrow.
The sinking fund bill was then laid aside
with the understanding that it should be
unfinished business tomorrow, and then the
Senate took up the House bill authorizing
the Secretary Of the Treasury to employ
temporary clerks and making an appropri
| alton Tor the same also making an appro-
priation for detecting trespass on publ.
lands and for bringing into market public
lands in certain states, and for other pur
poses. -----..-
The Committee on Appropriations re
ported the following amendment: AN,
provided further, that where wood an,
timber lands in the territories OF tn
United States are not surveyed and offere'
for sale in proper subdivisions, convenien
of access, no money herein appropriate,
shall be used to collect any charge for WOO
or timber cut on the public lands in tn
territories OF the United States for the us
of actual settlers in the territories and nc
for export"
Mr. BECK offered an amendment so as
provide that no money Of the amount al
propriated shall be used to collect al,
charge for wood or timber cut on the publ
lands in the territories of the United Stat,
for the use OF actual settlers in the territ,
ries and not for export from the territor
where the timber grew"
The debate was continued at length b
Messrs. Blaine, Hoar, Dawes and Sargent.
Pending the discussion, the Nice-Pres
dent laid before the Senate the militar

THE NEW POSrALLaW.

As the telegraph has already informed
Us, the House Committee on Postal al
fairs, has agreed upon bill which makes
several important changes in the law now
in force. The provisions Of the bill are
thus summarized by the Washington cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Tines OF last
Saturday:
In the main the committee adopted the pIli
prepared by Boston publishers, but in The
important matter of rates the two and three
cent discrimination ia pound Tasea between
newspapers and periodicals printed at greater
intervals than one week was retained. The
REGISTRATION feature was adopted and so ex-
tended that registered matter may be sent
either from the office Of publication or from
a news agency TO subscribers. The registra-
tiou feature is TO take effect two months after
the passage of the act instead OF three, as pro-
posed, and the words of registration are to be
printed on each ISSUE Advertising sheets
are excluded from the privilege OF reg
istration. The committee restored the clause
providing that newspapers may cir
culate free within the counties where pub
lished, except in letter-carrier Offices. All
publications must be registered in order 10 be
sent at pound rates, and these rates apply
equally to sample copies and those TO regular
subscribers. The annual fee for registration
is one dollar. Foreign newspapers and peri
oiicals of the same general character as
those registere I in the United States may he
registered and pass through the mails at the
same pound rates as II published in the
| United States. The committee added three
sections to the bill, which, If adopted, VIII
introduce a sweeping change in the present
( methods OF distributing large dailies, week
lies and magazines. These sections give the
government a monopoly Of carrying all
newspapers and other periodicals and make
| it criminal ofiense to send them by express
or in any other way outside of the mails
This Is recognized as the most radical change
proposed in postal arrangements for long

"BY THEIR FRUITS NE SHALL
KNOW THEM,

Messrs. Farrell Bros, the well known
fruit dealers OF this city, yesterday shipped
a car load-l5O barrels-of choice Kansas
apples, to the fruit house OF Sands, Furber
& Co.. Boston, Mass. This, We believe, is
the first car of apples ever shipped to the
far eastern markets, and We predict that il
is the beginning of what Is TO prove, in the
near future, one Of our most profitable
branches of trade, for We know that the
apples of Kansas cannot be excelled by
the orchards of the world.
Leavenworth county is entitled to thu
honor of the first shipment, as the fruit wa
packed within six miles of Fort Leaven
worth. No doubt our eastern friends wh'
did not have the opportunity Of witnessin,
the elaborate display Of Kansas fruit at tn
Centennial will now be able to see and tr,
samples OF our production both as to thei
keeping qualities and flavor.

The dispatch from Leavenwor;h annouuc-
ing the suicide Of John W. Griffin, on Fri
day evening, closed with the statement that
no cause is assigned for rash act"
Yet every one who has met this young man,
during month or SO past, understood per-
fectly well the cause.
Young Griffin was well known here. He
was young man Of brilliant abilities, gen.
erous, warm hearted, and having hosts Of
friends wherever he went. He was a grad
uaie Of Dartmouth College, and was, as the
dispatch states, young man of such ac-
knowledged capacity that he was elected a
member of the Legislature of his native
state, New Hampshire, when but twenty.
one years OF age. He has represented
in Kansas, for several years past, a
prominent schoolbook publishing house.
His social nature led him into dissipa
ted ways. The love of drink grew upon
him. When We last saw him, few week,
ago, he presented in his appearance the
indelible evidences of excessive drinking
This accounts fully for his melancholy sui
eide. He either knew, or feared, that the
habit had grown too strong to conquer oil
he took his life while in fit of despOndency
following what is called a spree, when his
nerves and his brain were unstrung anC
shattered by the effects of liquor.
There is nothing sadder, in all tho
wretchedness and woe with which human
life is SO often made mournful and ghastly
than such death as this. This youn:
man was gifted with the highest capacities
These splendid faculties, trained and dis
| ciplined by the best education the country
| afforded, fitted him to fill and to adOrn an,
position. He was an idolized son. He hat
a responsible position, commanding an ex
celient salary. All who knew him admired
his manly qualities, his fine abilities ant
generous nature. The world had treated
him well. He was his own worst, and hi
only, enemy. At last, probably-ior wh'
can tell the struggles of that poor heart
now still and pulseless in dea,h-he recog
nized his peril and weakness. He knew
that the fruit he had eaten OF were Apple
of Sodom, turning to ashes on the lips
So he put pistol to his head and ende'
the struggle.

Meaning of the Term Porte.

The term Porte" which is used to denote
the administrative government OF the Otto
man Empire, and includes the Sultan, the
Grand Nizier, and the great Council OF
State, had its origin in this way: In the
famous institutes established by the famous
warrior Sultan, Mohamed III, the Turkish
body polite was described by the metaphor
of a stately tent, whose domes rested upon
four pillars. The viziers formed the frs,
pillar, the judges the second, the ireasurers
the third, and the secretaries the fourth
The chief seat Of government was fguratiye
ly named the Lofty Gate of the Roya
Tent" in allusion to the practice of earlier
times, when the Ottoman rulers sat at thu
tent door to administer justice. The ltal
ian translation of this name was lie Port'
Sublima." This phrase was modified il
English to the sublime Porte" and finall,
the adjective has been dropped, leaving i
simply "The Porte"

THE GREENBACK AMENDMENT.

We publish in full this morning copy
OF General Ewings resolution for an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, to provide "a permanent and stable
currency" which is, in effect, "a proposition
to provide by Constitutional Amendment,
that the greenback shall be made the per-
manent paper money Of the country, and
shall take the place of national bank notes.
The resolution is in full accord with the
sentiment of the country, and if submitted
will be ratified by the requisite three
fourths of the State Legislatures. Let it be
passed by Congress, SO that it may be sub
mitted to the several legislatures next win
ter. Several State Legislatures have al
ready passed resolutions substantially en-
dorsing the features of General Ewing's
proposition.
