Professor Swift, of Rochester, tells in another
column the story of his discovery of Vulcan,
the elusive intra- mercurial planet, whose sup
posed transit across the sun has been noticed
by several observers, and whose existence was
predicted by the celebrated French astrono-
mer, LIE Verrier, on grounds closely similar to
those which led to the discovery of the distant
planet Neptune. Professor Swifts observations
are in entire harmony with Professor Wat
sons on all essential points. Both saw the
planet near the star Theta, in the cOnstella-
ton of Cancer; both recognized It's red color
and estimated its apparent size as of the 4i2
or 5th magnitude. There can be no reason
able doubt, therefore, as to the identity OF
the heretofore mythical Vulcan, and Profess
sOr Swift has fairly earned the right to share
with Professor Watson and DIR. Draper the
chief hOnOrs Of the late eclipse.

been averted had the Porte dealt hOnOrably

DOES THE WORLD MOyE3

The Rev. John Jasper, of Virginia, says, "De sun
do move, for in de mornn it shines dis side OBJ de
house, while in de ebenin, dat side OBJ de house.
Now, ef he don't move, how come he darf NOtwith-
standing Mr.. Jaspers logic yet believe the scord
moves. When Mr. Jaspers ideas constituted the pop
uar belief people thought that to die of smallpox or
cholera was simply fulfilling one of natures laws.
cholera, cholera morbus, dysentery (u1l and diar-
rh9a, are readily cured by the use of DR.. Perces
Compound Extract of Smart-Weed. Does not such
evidence tend to prove that "the world moves"i As
external remedy for cuts, bruises sprains, swell
ings bites and stngs Of insects, the Compound Ex-
tract of SmartWeed has no equal. Veterinary sur
geons have also employed it with marked success.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.-We- inquired of
number of Democrats, Saturday evening and
Monday morning, who the delegates were that
were appointed at their primary meeting, Sat-
urday; but they all replied that they thought
the meeting was postponed, as they had been
about the Court House at the appointed time,
but the crowd did not come. But we after
wards learned that a dozen or so of them had
got together in the Bulletin Office, and selected
delegates. We have since been furnished with
list of the delegates. As there was no contest
for delegates, it was well enough to meet in
quiet, retired place, where no person was likely
to come to disturb them.

cases decided at the July term, 1877, and the
January term, 1873 There are los cases, in 40
of which the opinions were written by Judge
Horton, 80 by Judge Valentine, and % by Judge
Brewer. There are three cases from Doniphan
County, viz: Soper VS.. O'Driscoll, Fetter VS..

most important case, to many, is the one relat-

panied with several articles from the pens of
able lawyers, written for newspapers, discussing
the question.

land, Kansas-RePly TO Another blowout

SEVERANCE, KANSAS, August q, 1873.
Your communication in the Chief of August 22d has
been carefully read by me; and will make you the
following proposal:
Upon any evening designated by you, you may
lease hall in the city of Highland, and notify me,
and will meet you there, one weeks public notice
being given in the Chief of such meeting and that
you and will then and there discuss your assertions,
as printed in the Chief of the 22d We will leave out
the loafers You speak Of and accept the colored
brethren from White Cloud and the citizens of High
land SIX and those from Severance all as witnesses
Let them be called for testimony, when we done
discussing; and then let the audience vote. If q ma
jority is against me, make public acknowledge
ment of lying in public; if the reverse you do the
same-upon the following points, viz:
i. That began my speech with any reference to
Comanche County, or that even spoke of it until
the subject was called out by J. p Johnson in his
speech.
= That during all my speaking, never spoke or
mentioned the name of Geo. W. Barr
j. That nothing was said against the character Of
Wm Is. Craig; but did deal with Wm Cooks testi-
mony before the Committee State Affairs, 90 far
as to say that he perjured himself either carelessy
or wilfully, did not know which and by that as
serton am willing to stand fall before the people
Of Doniphan County, and am ready with the proof
4. ThatI never eulogized myself in any way, but
only stated to Mr. johnson that official acts were
open to criticism, and that had only attacked him
in an official capacity. which had right to do.
And now, Xxx, dyspeptic, let me tell you, think
know you, and if am not mistaken you dare not ac-
cept the meeting, and trust a fair skinning with the
political knife of your own party, (Republican) for
fear the edge of the knife would strike sales of trust
by your own constituency beneath your lambs skin,
that would if exposed hold you up to our people in
your true light. man that for promises made po-
litically, sold his friends and further, that
will shun the truth you have done is just the one
that under assumed name, will abuse and mis-
represent his fellowman.
And now, should You accept the proposition that
have made, and that spinal column Of yours is strong
enough to support the vacuum appended to the high
est part of it. that at future time may be filed
with TRUTH to the place of discussion and if you
are successful then pay for the hail. otherwise you
to do it.
An American voter should not be ashamed to atix
his name to anything he writes or prints

SUPPORTS ANDERsoN.-The Junction City Un-
ion is the Oldest Greenback paper in the State.
1t was started as such, and has remained consist
emily SO ever since. Its editor, John Davis, was
one of the founders of the Greenback party in
Kansas. The last issuc of the Union hoists the
name of John A. Anderson for Congress, and in
long editorial, shows why Greenback men
should support him. 1t endorses the platform
of the Convention as sound, and confesses that
the Republican party of Kansas is a true Green
back party. We quote the following from the
article in question:
But further, and still better, the Republican party
of Kansas to be coming back to its first love.
1t be aiming for the ground it occupied from
1862 to 1863 when led by Thad. Stevens, VIM. Kelly,
and John Sherman before he fell from grace; to the
ground it occupied when the Supreme Court declared
greenbacks 'awf money of the United States" We
should encourage the truants in coming back Those
of us who have remained firm by the ancient doc
trines and have been called all sorts of in
sequence should lend helping hand and aid our
brothers ON board again.
The Republicans of this district are offering to the
greenback men victory. The question arises as to
whether the greenback men have the magnanimity
and good sense to accept victory gracefully.

THAT REso1urIox.-Much is being said in the

THAT REsoLUTIoN.-Much is being said in the
papers about that resolution in the Manhattan
Convention against newspaper editors holding
Office But il is not true that such a resolution
was adopted, or even reported with the expecta-
tion of its being adopted. Ii was offered in the
committee, and objected to; but finally it was
agreed to let it go before the Convention, to see
how quickly it would be stamped ont. And it
was kicked out in hurry. The following is a
copy of the resolution:
Resolred That We deprecate the growing dispos
ton of our public officials to bestow public patron
age upon members of the press, prejudcia to the
best interests of the people and We demand that tins
tendency be to the end that the as
the channel for the dissemination of information to
the masses shall be unbiased and untrammeled.
The author of that resolution, it may be as
well to state, was w. w. Guthrie. No man has
received more favors than he at the hands of the
newspapers; but all of them would not sing his
praises, and some editors even held Office through
the influence of Mr.. Phillips. Guthrie's defeat
made him act more like crazy fool than any
thing else, and he slasbed and snapped at every
body and everything. This newspaper resolu-
tion was one of his tantrums.
A pettifoger down in Elk County, named Nicli-
ols also has the newspaper phoba. He is one
tion he offered a resolution against the nonina-
ton of John A. Martin, because he was news
paper man. Such fellows as Guthrie and Mich
OILS would not amount to q row of pins, if it were
not for the newspapers. 1t is about time for
newspaper men to look to their own interests,
and let such cattle fight their own battles.
YOoREEKER!-The editor of the Bulletin has
actually succeeded in getting himself appointed
q delegate to the Democratic Congressional Con-
vention-if he did have to make the rifle by get
ting dozen men into back room up stairs,
where the rank and file could not find them. We
suggest that he attach the following card to his
