FOR sHRRIFF.

We take great pleasure in giving. our
full endorsement to the action of the Re.
publican convention on Saturday, in
nominating for the important Office OF
Sheriff, Jacob B. Moon. Jake, as we
shall continue TO call him, is one of Ly
ON county's boys. He came here some
twenty years ago, when a mere youth
and by his affable ways, his industrious
habits, and his active support of and
friendship for all that is calculated to
enhance the best interests Of society,
has always been popular with the peO-
pie. We believe this is the first time he
has asked for Office from the hands of the
people. He has always been an active
and consistent Republican, working con-
stantly for what he conceived to be the
best interests of the party. Mr.. Moon
has also been a true and ardent friend OF
our material and local interests, and was
always ready 20 put his shoulder to the
wheel whenever called upon to work for
the upbuilding of home interests. We
believe he possesses the good sense,
Judgment tact and energy to make a
good ofIleer, and so believing, we take
pleasure in asking for him the support
OF the voters Of Lyon county.

THE BANCROFT CASE.

AS will be seen by our report, the
trial of E. P Bancroft, for embezzling
money he received from the sale of Nor
NAL school lands, closed Saturday even
ing with a verdict of guilty. His coun-
sci, on Monday, gave notice that they
would move for new trial, and that
question will of course be the next thing
in order. Meantime, sentence is defer
red pending the argument and decision
of this motion. If the motion is denied,
legal resources to postpone sentence will
have probably been exhausted, and if an
appeal be taken to the Supreme Court,
the convicted party will necessarily un-
dergo the penalties imposed by his SEN
tence, pending such appeal, the same as
though it had not been made. If the ar
gument on the motion for a new trial is
not made until about the close of the
present term, and the motion be granted,
the case would, we suppose, go over to
the March term, and sentence meantime
be suspended, and the defendant be open
to bail as before.
Our report of the trial begins where it
left off last week, giving very full and
we are informed, accurate summary OF
the testimony, especially that of Mr..
Bancroft himself, which we make fuller
than any other part of the testimony, to
enable his side of the case to be heard
as he himself presents it.
The long and able pleadings of counsel
on both sides are of course omitted, as
the testimony and general run of the
proceedings are enough to enable OuI
readers to form their own opinions. The
counsel have on both sides evinced great
legal ability and equal vigor, and it may
be said of the defendants counsel that no
expedient known to law has been omit
ted to save their client from conviction
and it is evident that none Will be neg
lected to save him from sentence and
the penalties provided by the law against
embezzlement. AS the case may be con
sidered as still in court we prefer to re
serve for the present any comments that
journalistic duty might require. The
people have the testimony before them
in our columns, and we win furnish what
ever further proceedings take place.

A DULL MARKET FOR REALTY.-The
current week is pronounced by real es.
tatate dealers as among the dulIest and
most uninteresting of any that has passed
since the panic of five years ago. I'm.
improved property is not even quoted,
and improved real estate finds no market
where the equivalent is cash. There is
some occasional negotiation for this class
of property in the business portion of the
city, and, in a majority of cases, it is on
ly by way of exchange that such negotia-
tions are consummated. The demand
for property for investment has been
fully supplied, and no one, not e1enthe
most sanguine, thinks of purchasing on
speculation. Dealers state that no sales
or exchanges worthy of mention have
been perfected during the week, that the
market is depressed without precedent,
and that the prospects of a revival of
business are gloomy. After a while it
may be that some little spirit will be
manifested to run DEAL" but things
viii have TO change very materially be-
fore any one can be found who will screw
his courage to the sticking point and
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
From what we learn in regard to other
places, we judge that the above is fair
description of the condition of affairs all
through the middle and eastern States.
1t greatly accounts for the Maine cleo
ton. Times are undoubtedly better in
Kansas than in any other State of the
Union, and this is of course largely ow-
ing to the tide of immigration We are re-
ceiving, and which dull times at the east
will rather tend TO increase

1t is astonishing what admiration Dem
Ocratic orators and newspapers manifest
for greenback currency. To read some
of their speeches and editorials one would
suppose they were the original creators
of it. All this may do very well in Dem
ocratic localities, where the majority
vote under the impression that "Old
Hickory" is still candidate, but where
the average American intelligence pre-
walls the insincerity is too transparent
to escape detection. During the war,
when this currency was a necessity to
preserve the life of the nation, its bitter
est enemies were found among the lead
ers of this same party, and at that time
there was some consistency in their OPP
position, because it acted as the right
arm in the war against the rebellion of
their ancient allies. So bitter was the
opposition of Democratic leaders against
the power of the government to issue a
paper currency that it was necessary to
almost reorganize the judiciary of the
government, and in this way get rid of
some of its insincere members, and where
this could not be done to so increase the
number, by the appointment of add.
tional judges of loyal convictions, as to
secure majority in favor of its legality.
These are facts of history that no latter.
day support of a greenback currency can
ever wipe out. Every Democratic lead
er in the country, with few exceptions,
now bowling in favor of more green.
backs, is actuated by the shallowea sort
of mOtives-to make votes where their
advocacy requires it. To this extent on
" do these patriots father the greenback.
Their claim to its paternity is as barren
as is their profession to stand by the set
tied issues of the rebellion. What they
are after is power, and to gain this Meth.
er conviction nor conscience has any.
thing to do with their efforts.

The Vicksburg Herald, commenting
upon the large humanity of the North,
as illustrated in its liberal contributions
for the relief of the yellow fever suffer
erers in the South, well says: ''Truly,
peace hath its victories as well as war,
and this sympathy in the hour of need
will do much in bridging the bloody
chasm." God grant it may be so, and
if the terrible visitation now scourging
the South will but inspire the relations
of "a more perfect union" between all
sections because of this general expires
sion of sympathy, her suffering will not
be without compensation that all men
will rejoice over. If the South would
only appreciate the politics of the North
as well and sincerely as it does its sym
pathy, it would soon discover that one
has as much healing virtue as the other
and that both are inspired by the same
broad, catholic humanity.
