The friends OF DR.. Newton desired
that the Rev. DR. o. X. Crosby Of tie
Cniversalist Church should officlate
at his funeral in Reading, Sunday,
but the ''pillars' of that house were
selfish enough to say that they could
not spare him, and Mrs. Kenyon Off
ciated instead. Our churches are
troubled about self too much. Oh
the slavery of sect, and society. We
sometimes think to be away from the
haunts OF men and live like old Elijah
by a brook and be fed by ravens,
would be the height Of happiness.

THE WARFARE OF A SNEAK.-The Bulletin, in
its effort to crawl from under the lie put upon it
by Mr.. Heatley, does it in a manly way becom-
ing the editor of that concern. 1t says that
Hsatley's grandmother had the measles, that
Heatlsy spraiued his ankle years ago, and that
Hextlsy's uncle on his mothers side wore
striped shirt-or, il it doesn't exactly say those
things, it says what is equally dignifed and
pertinent to the subject.
The editor of the Bulletin is notorious for his
constant squealing about poverty. At least
once . month, he sends ont pitiful begging
circular, telling how his enemies are trying to
break him down, because he is a poor man, try
ing to earn q living for his family; but at the
same time, there is no man SO ready as he to
come down rough-shod, with lies and inuendoes,
to crush down some poor man who is trying to
earn an honest living. Mr.. Heatley has seen
ct to announce that he will offer his name in
the Republican County Convention for nomina-
tion for the Office of County Attorney, and will
be thankful for support. This is the extent of
his offending; and for this, the Bslletin comes
down upon:him with all its weighty might, max
ing charges that every man, woman and child
in town knows to be false for in temperance
and morals, Mr.. Hestley stands as high as the
best citizen of the County.

INDIAN OUrRAGEs.-The reports of massacres
by Indians in Graham and Norton Counties are
confirmed. A number of settlers have been kill
ed, women outraged, and stock driven off. The
war Governor and his militia seem to have dis.
abled themselves in the Emporia campaign
and as for United States troops, there are none
of any consequence. A Democratic Congress,
in its work of retrenchment, cut down the army
SO that there is none to protect the settlers on
the frontiers. The Democratic State Conven-
tiou endorsed the action of Congress in disband-
ing the army. Do the dcfenseless settlers of
Western Kansas and their friends endorse tho

CORREcTION.-Several weeks ago, the Bulletin
published q list of the nominations of the Green.
back party of Wolf River Township, in which
the name of Nathan Springer appeared as q
nominee Of Road Overseer. Mr.. Springer was
at the Convention, simply as a spectator, and
informed them that he did not affiliate with their
party, but was a Republican; but notwithstand-
ing they published him as nominee of the par
ty. Mr.. Springer then requested the editor of
the Bulletin to correct the statement, which he
promised to do. But two issues of the Bulletin
have since appeared, without word of correc-
tion. 1t doubtless suited the EDITORS purpose
better to let the lie stand uncorrected, thus
making it appear that prominent Republican, 5
were Greenbackers. Mr.. Springer wants it un-
derstood that he is Republican, aud does not
train with the Greenback party.

II Two things are ominons of Democratic
defeat in this County, at the ensuing election.
Both are good signs in themselves, but together
they are irresistible. First, the day of the Con-
vention was not rainy, cold and muddy. 1t has
been noticed that when the day of the Conven-
tion is not extremely disagreeable, their ticket
makes poor run. Tne second evil omen is,
that the Troy Bslletis supports the ticket. That
is always fatal to ticket.
