The Governorship,

This question is taking prominence; and from
pretty general expressions, Col. John A. Martin,
oi The Atciiison Champion, seems to be the favor
lite against Gov. Anthony. If Col. Martin has
any aspirations for the Office of Governor, in the
near or far future, 1T seems to that be will be
wasting golden opportunity if he refuse to be
a candidate now. We believe he has not indi-
Gated determination way or the other.
Perhaps he is sensibly keeping silent, to see
whether he is really wanted, before coLsenting
to be a candidate. The Only objection that
could be raised against him, would be the nnm-
Der of important Officers that Atchison already
holds but this objection wouId operate against
him less than any other man that could be Sc
lected from that locality. He is known all over
the State, and is universally popular. He.wolld
weaken the ticket in no locality in the State
but we believe would strengthen it in all. He
is steadfast Republican; was an advocate of
the silver bill and, in fact, is with tue people
of Kansas on the currency question.
1t will require no special effort for the Repub-
licans to carry the State ticket; but that ticket
should be selected with reference to local sue
cess. With such candidate as Col. Martin, or
many others that could be named, a large pro-
poItiou Vi Tue heDuDllcan UEeenDaCkerS could
not he induced to vote against the Republican
ticket But with George T. Anthony the nomi-
nee, scarcely Republican Greenbacker would
touch him; and the disaffection would involve
the loss of many County officers and members of
the Legislature. The late interview with
George A. Crawford discloses precisely the sort
of man Kansas has for Governor. He would
sink the State rather than not glorify himself,
crafty his personal vanity, aud display his NAL
ice. almost every man who has been connected
with the Agricultural Board, has expressed utter
disgust at the dctatorial, tyrauaical, AMI rule OF
ruin way in which the Governor attempts to run
everything to suit himself; and We have heard
the opinion freely expressed that if there is fail
ure to hold State Fair, the coming Fall, it will
be his fault. Such as that, who chils
everything he touches, the people want no more
Of They still think this is the tate of Kansas,
not the State of Anthony; they want good
man for Governor of Kansas, and one willing to
let the Kingdom of An thony run private Gov
ernnieDt for its own honor and glory.

BT Massachusetts, paper tells of a man in
that State, who, some years ago, went to Cali
fornia, leaving 500 in the hands of farmer.
Knowing that the farmer was responsible, the
matter was permitted to run along without re-
newal of note or payment of interest," until re-
Gently, when the sum, principal and interest,
amounted to 5000. The owner of the money
returned to Massachusetts, in straitened cir
cumstances, and demanded his money of the
farmer, who offered to give him $50, and call
the account square. The other refused, and
threatened to sue for the amount, when tho
farmer coolly told him that the note was ont
lawed, and he would mott pay him a cent, although
he was worth $50, 900. The other had to borrow
money to return TO California. This is the story
told by the Springfield Republican but it must
be mistake. That farmer certainly does not
live farther east than Illinois. Only Western
people repudiate their honest debts. No Massa-
chusetts man would do such a thing

~ The new proprietor of the Topeka Blade,
after few weeks trial, it seems, discovered what
a man must have who wants to be success in
Kansas so he went back to Missouri for the bal
ance of his effects, and says he has come
with bag and baggage, prepared to stay. When
you come to Kansas, be careful not to forget to
bring that.

II Frank Root, of the North Topeka Times,
completed his 2lst year as citizen of Kansas,
on the 2lst of April. He landed at Leavenworth.
April 2lst, 1857, from the steamboat New Lucy.
So that We are an older citizen than Frank, by
about a month We, too, came from Jefferson
City on the New Lucy, but landed at Weston,
staged it to st. Joe, and went from there to
White Cloud on the Admiral.

~ Ex-senator Pomeroy was, last week, ad-
mitted to the bar in Atchison County. The old
man doesn't propose to settle down among the
dead men yet. There are thousands in Kansas,
who still maintain that he was the best Senator
Kansas ever had, and who would welcome the
day that placed him there again. If he takes
hand in the coming struggle, and takes it in IA
vor of himself, he will rally strong party but
if he expends his energies in behalf of some
other person, and to obtain revenge for the past,
he win gain no honor by it, Pomeroy's friends
will work most zealously for Pomeroy himself

REAL DANGER.-The country is arousing to
the danger Of Communism, as it is being devel-
oped in all the large cities. They number thou
sands, and are arming and drilling, with the
avowed purpose of killing, burning and plum
dering, if any attempt is made to suppress their
unlawful proceedings This dangerous element
is largely foreign, and is exclusively under the
leadership of foreigners, and has been trans
planted in America from a foreign soil Tue
Reign of Terror, during the French Revolution,
almost a hundred years ago. still causes a feel
ing of horror, whenever it is mentioned That
was Communism, in full sway. The reign of
Communism at the close of the late French and
German war, was another characteristic speci-
men. This is what Communism is to be in Amer
lea. The leading spirit in the United States, is
Frenchman named Megys, in New York. He is
the man who murdered the Archbishop of Paris,
during tho reign of Communism last above men,
toned. How he escapes punishment for his
crime, we cannot understand, unless it he that
there is no treaty existing between the United
States and France as to the extradition of crmi-
nails, or that his deeds have been srnoothed over
by some legal process. But some means should
be taken to prevent repetition of his atrocities
ill this country. On Easter Sunday, the Com
munists held revel in New York, at which this
man Megys was leading spirit. He announced
the Object of Communism to be, first and fore
most, the assassination of all priests, and the
destruction of the churches; then followed the
more innocent doctrines of equal division of
robbing the rich to give to the poor,
and other things of like character. The worst of
il is, that an attempt is being made and with
success, to draw the legitimate or
ganizations of working men into this lawless
movement that will prove most
destructive to the interests of honest labor 1t
behooves not only working men, but all good
citizens, to stop and think, and where they
nre being led to by these new tangled move
ments, that promise such great and impossible
things for the poor man and the laborer

DIED PooR.-How seldom it is that men who
make their millions by peculation or gambling,
have anything left by the time they come to lie
down and die. Tweed, who controlled millions
of dollars, and commanded the revenues of the
largest city in America, died in poverty and in
prison. John Morrissey, who owned gambling
helIs by the score, where millions of dollars ere
lost and won annually, is dead, and it is said
that his estate will not pay his debts Both men
threw away enough money every year to have
made any reasonable person independent for life,
and leave something to their families They
were both charitable; but they robbed and i'm.
poverished thousands, to enable them to bestow
ostentatious charity upon a few.

V' Kansas exchange complains of the way
in which the State Historical Society is managed
and fears it is to become permanent leech upon
the State Why, bless your innocent soul are
you just beginning to suspect somethingi Here
after, the State Historical Society will apply
regularly for its little appropriation, increasing
its demands each year, with regular set of
pensioners to be provided for at the public ex-
pense. The State Agricultural Society CON-
menced the same way, with q modest appropri-
alton to exhibit fruits or circulate agricultural
information for emigration purposes; but it has
grown TO be a regular department, with room in
the Capitol building, and demands. its pluuder :,
every session of the Legislature, with as much
authority as the Executive Department. The
State Library has crept up in the same way.
There are yet lots of old seeds in the State who
have not been provided for, and other depart
ments must be created. An Emigration Bureau,
a Commission on State Institutions, q Claim
Fund Commission, and a lot of
other things, will come in, in good time.
