II The Congressional District Central Com
mittee have been called to meet at Atchison,
July 9th, to fix the time and place for holding the
Congressional Convention. After that the can
vass will be fairly opened, with q number of
candidates on the track. Col. Phillips of couse,
will be prominent among them, with considera-
BILE strength. Guthrie, of Atchison, will proba-
bly, try it again. Leland, of this County, is daily
developing strength, which has come to him un.
solicited, and it will not be surprising if he
proves to be winner in the outcome. Lucien
Baker, of Leavenworth, has many warm friends
and there are no doubt several gentlemen in the
western part Of tho District who will take
hand.

A Mares NKsr.- The Bsitkiis has discovered
Ahotber swindle upon The people Of DoDiphan
County. II says that the State Board Of Rail-
road Assessors assessed the st. Joseph and Den
yer City Railroad At $4,000 per mile, and the
Atchisoa and Nebraska Road at "a 500 per mile,
but that now both roads are alued at only S2-
200 per mile. The BslLefis charges that some-
body has perpetrated swindIs for the beneht
Of the railroads, by reducing the figures Of the
Railroad Assessors, but gracsously admits that
the County Clerk is not to blame, leaving the
impression that somebody clss has tsmpered
with the returns. The whole trouble is just
here: the Rsllefia has squealed before it was
hurt-has let ay before it got good ready, as
it were. Railroads are assessed by State Board
of Assessors, and nobody has right to alter the
figures after they are once fixed. The Auditor
of State forwards q statement and certificate to
the County Clerk, from which he places the
railroad property on the tax rolls Of the County.
The value Of railroads 10 computed from the
amount Of nett earnings. The road bed, right
of way, franchises, rolling stock, and telegraph
lines, are inclnded in the railroad proper. Tho
side-tracks are valued separately; and the do
pots, tanks, tools, and sundry other articles, are
assessed as personal property. From the cor
tifcste in the Clerks Office, We fnd that the st.
Joseph and Denver City Railroad Is valued at
1850 per mile, and the Atchison and Nebrssks
Road At $5,63l per mile. The side-tracks OF both
roads are valued at y 200 per mile; and in ad-
dition, there 10 valuation of personal property.
So that, instead Of the swindle that the Bslletis
has nnesrtbed, both rosds are actually assessed
considerably higher than the BHilefis says they
were assessed before somebody perpetrated the
foul swindle.
Perhaps if the Bslleiis would be moro careful
in looking in the right place for facts for the in
formation of the public, and devote less time to
smelling ont imaginary swindles which be alone
can discover and expose, be would not give him
self away quite 10 often

q THE pen is mightier than the sword.n -
Gen. Dick Taylor and other rebels having failed
to conquer Grant with the sword, arc now en-.
desvoring to smirch him with the pen But in
this instance, the pen is deprived of it's weight
by lack of facts. Dick. Taylor has made
charges against Grants conduct of the Virginia
campaign, saying that the facts were related to
him BY Gen. Halleck, in New Orleans, in 1874 or
1875; and then he proves it by Gen. Joseph E.
johnson. But alas for the honor of these two
dstinterested witnesses, another stubborn fact
jumps mp to confront them. Gen. Halleck died
in 1872!

COMMENCE AT THE HEAD The Leavenworth
Press, referring to the assertion made by many
Republicans, that the re- nomination of George T.
Anthony would cause the defeat of the local tick
cts In many of the Counties, says that State Con-
ventions arc not intended to ix up local tickets,
but that the Republicans of the different Coun-
ties should nominate good and popular mon, who
can poll the full party vote. Suppose, Mr.. Press,
you apply your own rule to the Office of Govern
or, and nominate . man who can poll the full
party vote, instead Of running behind his ticket
from 5000 to 10000 votes. We thought State
Conventions were held for the greatest good of
the party in all parts Of the State. We would
like to know what special obligations the Re-
publicans of Kansas are under to George T. An
thony, that they should be required to jeopardize
local tickets for the sake of packing such dead
weight through the canvassf And as the State
Convention will be composed of men who have
some interest in the success of their local tickets
it is safe to say that dead weights will not CON-
mand premium in the Convention.

The FATE OF RENEGADEs.-"There 10 honor
among thieves" is an old sdage and there is
another, that "the greatest rascal turns States
evidence" The fate Of the informer, the trait
or, the one who turns States evidence, has been
the came in all ages. He may have done so for
pay, or for revenge, or to secure some immunity
for himself; but after the act is done, he finds
that the pay is no compensation, the revenge is
no satisfaction, the immunity is worse than pnn-
ishment. man named York once brought
himfelf to believe that if he could tempt man
to do wrong, and then expose him, his fame
would be assured. He accomplished his pur-
pose, and the nsme Of York has since been .
disgracs in the land. Those who proited by
his infamy, despise him for it. The latest ex-
ample is that of one Anderson, of Louisiana.
He wanted revenge, and sought it by confessing
his own villainy. The men who are using him,
are trying to conv ince him that he is relieving
his conscience, and purifying himself; but when
they are through with him, they will turn from
him with disgust. He will not accomplish the
object for which he turned States evidence, but
he will have lost the respect of all human kind,
himself included. He will be cast aside, as too
dead to skin, and too Insignificant to create .
stink.

Of omission or commission. Take any
other time but bedtime for that. II you
ever heard little creature sighing and
sobblng in its sleep you could never de-

kiss and blessing. The time will come
all too soon when they will lay their heads
upon their pillows lacking both. Lrt
them, then, at least have this sweet mem
ory Of happy childhood, OF which no
future trouble or sorrow can rob them.
Give them their rosy youth. Nor noed
this involve wild license. Tbs judicious
parent will not so mistake my meaning.
II you have ever met the man or wOmaa

How ARTEMUs WARD WhoTE.-A
friend of Artemus Ward who was with
him on the Cleveland Ediadedier for
some time, says he used to ho ince> antly
whiting his chair and desk. HIS man
ner of writing was as peculiar as every
thing else about the man. His mission in
life seemed to be to hunt up funny things.
When he found them, out of his own
head or elsewhere, he himself enjoyed
them better than any one else. AS he sat
writing when the funny idea struck him,
hs would laugh with guffaw which
seemed to shake him from heels upward.
He sat in Nh arm chair, always with his
left leg swung over the arm of his chair.
When the joke came, he used to pound
the table with his fist, slap the long, thin
leg that hung over the chair, and explode
with laughter. 1t was his habit to share
a good joke with his associates IN the of
fee at once. He loved sympathy, Ms if he
had been woman, and seemed to stand
a. much in need OF it, He wrote rather
rapidly, and writing seemed to come easy
to him. He laughed nearly all the time
he was writing.

EFFECT OF IMAGINATIoN.- A strange
case is that of Henry e Ershman, living
near the boundary OF the county, Sweet
wood, who is the owner uf considerable
property. Up IT, within several weeks
ago, he was hale aud hearty No;with-
standing his abundance OF this worlds
goods, he generally wore one slit OF
clothes during the week and Oh Sunday.
Several weeks ago he was startled because
he imagined Il very offensive ordor either
came from hi ears or mouth or the pores
of the skin. He was greatly alarmed, and
imagined he was sinking into galloping
consumption, and was gradually decaying
He was unable to sleep, became haggard
and emaciated, and even his friends be-
gan to imagine that his end was near at
hand. He dressed him self regularly, and
was determined to keep on his feet. He
went into the fields and into the woods,
determined to fight down his disease, but
wherever he went the same dreadful
>tench ana leeilhg came over him. Fl
naily. an old woodchopper met him in the
woods one day. The woodman had
oug talk with him. and he stood quite
ciose to examine him. Then the wood
man asked the sics man for his coat. 1t
WA eXlm'nrd. Tha wooiman carried ii
away twenty yald@, and il was discovered
that the stencil followed. The cont was
thoroughly examined, and dend mouse
was found in the lining. The mouse had
cotton in the lining of hi. cont and died
there, AID its drcayiug body caused the
unpleasant eilluvia. When this was
known the sufferer gained courage and as
be- slnwiy lea!iled what imagination had
done, he raiiied and WAS soon on the road
