.5' Doorkeeper Polk, having been discharged,
the Democratic caucus nominated one Field, Of
Kentucky, for the position. Gen. Butler propos-
ed Gen. Shields for the place, a man who had
fought in Mexico, and in the Union army against
the rebels, had been wounded, and was poor and
broken in health. But Field was elected, as he
possessed stronger claims upon the Democracy.
He had an arm shot off in the rebel army, and
had afterwards served under the Khedive of
Egypt. His record was not stained by any act in
behalf of this Government.

~ The Atchison Champion is severe upon
Jimmy Watson, of Douglas County. Better so
slow. Ten chances to one, Jimmy will be thrust
into the next Republican State Convention, as
the only man fit for the office of State Treasurer;
and if he doesn't get it, (Which he won't,) the
Dem ocrats and conglomerates will put him for
ward as the only fit man. Jimmy's politics
agree with any party that will make him Treas
urer of something. He is like some of the Atch-
ison Republicans, who will run on Democratic
ticket and assist to defeat their party, in order
to get elected to some one horse Office.

lS The Republicans of Milwaukee have held
a meeting, which endorsed Hayes, and censured
Senator Howe. As Milwaukee was never known
to give Re publican majority, and never elects
a Republican TO the Legislature, her endorsement
or condemnation ought to be a matter of supreme
indifference to Senator Howe. He probably pre-
fers the endorsement Of people who can be Of
some service, in time of need.

~ Ex-Congressman Vance, of Ohio, recently
mysteriously disappeared, and it was feared that
he had been murdered, secretly appointed to
a foreign mission. But it is now generally con-
ceded that he had become a confirmed kleptoma-

arrest for some of his transactions. 1t would
seem that some men never can eradicate the hab-

them from starving.

\ MIsgEPGrsENTAuoN.-W believe it is
unanimously admitted that it IS impossible for the
editor of the O>kaloosa Independent 10 deal fairly
with an opponent In his last issae he asserts that
Col. Robert Ingersoll has become the advocate Of
obscene literature, claiming that the restrictions
pnt upon this kind of literature, in not permit
ting it 10 circulate through the mails, is an
abridgemen: of the right of free .peech and a
free press The editor of the Indepeadsnt knows
that Ingersol has not done any such thing. In
gersoll does not use oi,scenity in his lectures,
and no man is a stronger advocate for the puri-
ty and morals of the family. When the act was
passed by Congress prohibiting the circulation
Of obscene literature through the mails, pious
bigots who engineered it, smuggled in word,
malsng it read obscene aud blasphemous litera-
ture and nnder the latter phrase, the creature,
Anthony Comstock who would have be-u fit
person for head ghoul Of the Spanish Inquistion
of three centuries ago, is prosecuting men for
expressing sentiments that do not correspond
with his religions prejudices. Newspapers that
deny the divinity of Christ or the divine in
spiration of the Bible or denounce the atrocities
recorded in the Old Testament, are arrested for
circulating blasphemons literature, and their
publishers arrested and imprisoned. 1t is
this that Inserosl opposes, aud for the repeal of
this outrage lie presented the mammoth petition.
However dreadful it may seem to Anthony Com
stock or the editor of the Independent, for any
man to preach Infldelity, any law to punish a
man for the expression of such sentiments, is a
return to the dark days of persecution, aud is a
palpable violation of the constitutional guaran-
tee of free thought and free speech

LoSEsOME.-A Washington paper says that
Hayes is lonesome, since his wife has gone on a
visit to Ohio. To show how lonesome Hayes is
when his wife is absent, we may mention a little
incident related to us by old soldier, several
years ago, when Hayes running against
Oldbillaen for Governor of Ohio. The soldier
said, about the wind-up of the war, he was in
Cincinnati, when soldiers were arriving from
every direction. He lac had just registered his
name at one Of the leading hotels, and was
standing by the counter in the Office, when a
well built person in generals uniform entered,
who seemed to be acquainted with the clerk.
He registered his name, and then asked, in an
under tone, whether he couid be furnished q
room trh roman in il. The clerk gave him a
wink, and replied that he would have that fixed
all right. When the officer walked away, our
informant stepped up and took glance at the
name just written on the register, and read,

A BESlFAcToR OF KANsAs-Locking at the
immense immigration that has been pouring in
to Kansas for years. aud that is still coming with
increased force, the fact stand. ont prominently,
that the greatest agent of all agencies, and per
haps greater than all combined, in setting the
current in motion, and keeping it moving, has
been the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail
road Company. Wherever an emigration project
is at work, and in whatever shape, in what
ever country, there you the hand of this rail-
road company. 1t has spared neither time, en-
ergy nor money in carrying on this work, and
has exhibited fertility of style and manner
that is wonderful. The late Great American
Desert is fast becoming a teeming hive OF pm
lation, and the mountains of Colorado are devel-
oping their hidden wealth, all through the in :
strumentality of this Company. There Is no
species of advertising that it has not reSorted to-
Its bills, circulars, papers and pamphlets have
plastered the country over. At the Centennial
Exhibition, il displayed a collection that was
the admiration of the world, and has been world
wide in its influence upon Kansas emigration
One striking feature in its advertising, and an
attractive one, is the publication of illustrated
works relative to the country traversed by its
road. The.'New Rocky Mountain Tourist, aud
Arkansas Valley and San Juan Guide" noticed
by us last week, is the handsonest work of the
kind ever issued. In illustrations and print, it
is equal to almost any Art Journal ever publish
ed. Everything about it is first-class, and it
must have cost many thousands of dollars. And
any person may obtain copy, without cost, by
writing to W. +. White, Topeka, Kansas. OF
course, it is to the interest of the Railroad Com
pany to use all these exertions to secnre immi-
| oration-hnt what Is il doing for Kansas

Prominent among the good results which
,be nresept hard times have accomplished is
the desire to economic, ,as amongst the most
fashionable economy is now regarded rs not
only anecessitv, but Is virtue. In the house,
hold. particularly, is this noticeable; and the
honsekeeper who practices true economy
will moi fail to secure the very best cooking
stove that Is 10 be had. The difference in the
first cost between the best in the mar
ret and the most inferior is but triiie
compared with the saving which can be made
during the first year of its Use, not only in
the fuel used, but in time. convenience and
labor. TO say nothing OF the satisfaction of
having food palatably and healthfully pre-
pared. With proper care cook-stove can
se made to last twenty years or more. As an
evidence Of the durability of well con-
sfructed stove, there can now be seen at the
salesroom OF the Excelsior Manufacturing
20. No. 6l2 North Main ST., St. Louis, a No.
4 Charter Oak coOk-stove which was sold by
Mr.. Filley in April, 1852, and has been in ac-
tllal use doing the cooking Of family COM
prising from nine TO eighteen persons for
nearly twenty-fours years, portion OF the
time used for heating as well as cooking,
there being no other stove in the house, and
is vet in an excellent state Of preservation.
A prominent citizen of ST. Louis has a No. 3
Charter Oak, which has been used Oyertwen-
ty-fye wears, and is still good for several
years service. IL i fact worthy OF notice
here, that the first Charter Oak Store erer
sold 10 dealer ,cds delirered 10 c. G.. Jones,
Of 81. Louis. on the 23d day Of March, 1852,
or lust exactly t,centy-si6 years ago. From
the day Of its introduction the Charter Oak
has steadily grown in favor and popularity,
giving perfect satisfaction in all localities.
As a proof of the popularity we would refer
TO the very large sales which have been made,
as high as y. $50 stoves having been sold in
one wear, and the total number of all sizes Of
Charter Oak Stoves which have been manu-
factured by Mr.. Filley up 10 this date is
3l3,426. They are distributed in nearly all
the States OF this Union, and number have
been exported TO England, Germany, South
America and Australia. The Grand Charter
Oak combines all the merits Of the old stove
and such improvements as have been made
from time TO time since their introduction,
including several of late date, which will
be readily appreciated when seen, and we
are confident that the Grand Charter Oak
is unequaled for beauty of design, uniform
excellence, superiority Of construction and
perfection Of finish and operation.
The company solicit sample orders for the
new stove, guaranteeing that il it does not
prove to be all and even more, than is claimed,
he stoves can be returned at their expense.
