A correspondent at Hays city sends us the
following brief communication as to the
course pursued BY the people Of that place
in regard to the conduct OF their Representa-
tive in the Legislature on the Senatorial
question:
HAYS CITY. Feb. l, 1879.
EDITOR TIMEs:-The people Of the ,ity hung
L. r. Eggers, our Representative In effigy
| from . telegraph pole last night, in co.se.
Quence of his not voting for Mr.. ]. ]. Ingal 9

Also, hung Hill p. Wilson IN effigy from
the same pole, for using his influence af
Topeka for eX Governor Anthony for Z. 8.
Seoator. II. o. p.
Mr.. Eggers was removed from the Land
Office at Hays City-or was informed that
his "resignation would be accepted"-on
account of irregularities" in his Office, and
considering discretion the better part OF
valor he stepped down and out, and imme
diately began to fight Ingalls.' Like
every other ex-office holder who has been
obliged to resign on account OF crookedness
be suddenly discovered that Ingalls, was g
very bad man, and ought to be defeated
The bulk of the opposition to the Senator.

PARTY l. MES.

In order to show the political complexion
of the supporters of Senator Ingalls,, and
also of his opponen,s, the Atchison Cham
pion Of Sunday morning publishes CLASH
fed list of the members of the Legislature,
as they voted upon the final ballot for Sena-
tor in the joint convention, and says.
1t will be seen. by this list. that Senator
ingalls, received y Republican votes, while
Judge Horton received "a. Senator Ingalls,
received only fourteen opposition votes,
| seven Democrats and seven Greenbackers
voting for him, while Judge Horton received
| twenty five opposition votes, sixteen being
cast by Democrats and nine by Greenback
ers. Three Of the opposition votes were cast
for other candidates, and one Greenbacker
| was absent. Senator Ingalls, had q majority
of feighteen Republicans. while Judge Horton
| received eleven more of the opposition votes
than did Mr.. ingalls,.
Senator Ingalls, received a majority of two
votes IN the Senate, and a majority of three
votes over Judge Horton in the House. In
the Senate Mr.. ingalls, received the votes of
10 Republicans, 2 Democrats snd Green
hacker. In the House he received the votes
of So Republic Ems, ) Democrats, and Green
hackers. In the Senate Judge Horton re-
ceived the votes OF Il Republicans and l
Greenbacker, while in the House he had the
votes of 3. Republicans, is Democrats and
Greenbackers. Senator ingalls, therefore
received a majority of Of the Republican
votes cast ia the Senate. and OF l6 in the
House, making an aggregate Republican ma
jority offs.
In the joint convention held on Thursday
Mr.. Ingalls, received a majority of all the Re
publican votes cast, and IL the customs of
other states prevailed in Kansas, he would
have been regarded as the Republican nomi-
nee, entitled to all the Republican votes in
both branches OF the legislature. We hope
the day will come, in Kansas, when Repub-
Iicans will settle such matters by party
caucus Why Kansas alone, of all the States
Of the Union, shou discard the party caucus
system, we never could understand.
Ofthose who voted for Judge Horton on the
last ballot, three four had, on some
OF the previous ballots, voted for Senator
ingalls,. Among these were Mckay
of Cloud. Martin, of Eingman, and
woodmau, OF Wilson, all Republicans.
So that Ingalls, received, during the ballot
Ing, the votes OF eighty-n members. and
those Of seventy five Republicans. Mckay
went 10 Simpson after the first ballot; Mar
tin voted for Pomeroy on Thursday, and for
Horton on Friday; and Woodland went to
Phillips on Thursday and 10 Horton on FRI
day.
Mr.. ingalls, received a total OF sixty votes
on Tuesday, si1ty-three on We'd esday,
seventy-two on Thursday. and eighty.six On
Friday. TO that he gained steadily, from the
first vote to the last.

Is should be q Matter Of Sine ere
Pride 10 ghe Party.

We believe that the Republicans OF Kan.
sal, and Of the nation at large, have rea-
sons for prof und congratulations on the
manner in which the Senatorial contest was
terminated at Topeka, yesterday, resulting
a. it did in the re election Of John j. In
gals. The re-swskening Of an honest,
fearless and aggressive Republican senti-
ment which last week sent Conkiipg, Lo-
gan, Cameron and Carpenter back TO the
Senate, and which will soon elevate Zach
Chandler TO the same position, manifested
itself in Kansas yesterday in the reelection
of Ingalls, 1t should be a matter Of sin-
cere pride to the party in this State that it
is able to contribute so able and fearless
champion of its principles to the Congress
where Republicans will most need brave
and powerful leaders. The memory OF
John j. ingalls, Osawatomie speech and
the knowledge that his record had been
entirely consistent with the bold Republi-
can utterances of that speech endeared him
SO much TO the party in the State that no
combination wss able to sieze from him
the prize awarded in a second and trium-
phant election to the L. s. Senate.

tingui-hed body. He is the most vigorous
and eloquent speaker in the state He is a
stalwart Republican. There has never
bsen any discount on his devotion TO the
principles and success Of the Republican
party. He il true kansar. He believes
in kansas, and has devoted his energies
and abilities, al all times and in all places,
to developing the resources and promoting
the growth and property Of the State.
He is one Of the most accomplished scho,-
ar- in the Senate. He il respected by his
cole sgues a. = graceful, cultured indusIri-
ous and honorable representative. And he
will, during the next term, be enabled to
represent the State with even greater useful
ness than during the past Elk years because
age and length of service are such potent
factors in determining the position Of 8
member of the National Congress.
We have said all of these things fire.
auently during the campaign just closed.
1t seemed TO Us, then, that q proper con
sideration of them ought to secure the re-
turn OF Mr.. Iugalls. We repeat them
nov, with emphises, glad that the Legis-
lature of the State has given to them that
consideration /. should, and elected the
only man among all the candidate, who
united in his own person conspicuous and
commanding abilities, ripe legislative eI'
perience, that rank which length of service
gives Senator, the culture and learning
of a scholar, the eloquence, vigor and grace
Of polished public speaker, and the legal
training Of a capable lawyer.
The Republicans of Kansas have good
reason for congratulations over the result,
because il returns 10 the Senate Republi.
can whose fidelity to the principles Of theiI
party bas never been questioned
The people Of the State generally have
Just reason TO rejoice over this result, be
cause it keeps in the Senate represents
tive who is ardently devoted to Kansss
and who will always labor, with zeal ant
energy, to promote every interest Of th'
State.
And finally, all men who abhor Islander
and personal abuse Is weapons Of polilica
warfare; who do not believe that a repre-
sentative ought to be lied out Of his repu
ta,ion and his place BY vulgar and profes
sional traducers; and who know that th,
worthiest people are the most injured by
slander, Just n We find that to be the bes
fruit which the birds have been picking a
all these will rejoice to know that per
sonal malignity spent its force in vain, ant
personal abuse aud slander were not poten
| to accomplish their object.

AssOOD MEASURE.

A bill has been introduced in the Legis
lature of Illinois which embodies . sound
and salutary principal. 1t provides that
if any public or private bank shall receive
any deposit when in state of insolvency
the officers thereof shall be deemed guilty
of embezzlement, and liable to 4 fine Of
twice the amount, and imprisonment for
not lees than one nor more than three years
The failure or suspension Of any such bank
within thirty days sfr.r receiving such de.
posit shall be prima faoie evidence OF an
intent to defraud. All banking establish.
ments are prohibited from loaning any de.
posits or trust funds to any of their officers
under penalty Of forfeiture of charter, and
. fine of twice the amount 20 loaned. The
frs: provision is in many respects q good
one. One Of the worst features about the
average bank failure is the deceit prscticed
in the acceptance of deposits up to the last
moment. There is scarcely an instance of
the Kind in which the funds have not been
received on deposit long after the crash had
been recognized As unavoidable, and when tie
officers must have known that such receipt
of deposits Was no better that bank rob

John Larard, who died on Saturday
last, aged IS years, in obscure lodgings At
No. 4i2 Keyser street, had career con-
tanning many interesting particulars He
was an Englisman by birth, of a wealthy
family. He was given first class COL
legiate education, and it Is said that at
Trinity College, Cambridge, he was a
schoolmate of Lord Macaulay and on init
mate terms with him. He ~as particularly
distinguished az a ma,hematician and as
tronomer. When Wellington conducted
the campaign in Spain agains. the French
invaders, England was stripped of her
regular soldiery. Larard enlisted in the
militia organized for the home defense, and
was stationed at Portsmouth and Dover.
Fifty years ago, on account of some family
troubles, he came to merica and became a
celebrated manufacturer Of wooden machiu-
cry, and perfected many Improvements in
the mechanism. Business reverses hap
pened to him and he gave up manufactur-
ing. His judgment and skill was 30 excel
lent that he was constantly consulted by
manufacturers at Germantown, Manayunk,
Bridesburg, and in the city. For forty
years he resided in the one story tenemen,
in Keyser street. He at one time pos-essed
an extensive and valuable library, but BY
necessities had been compelled to pr, With
nearly all of his volumes. He continued
his mathematical and astronomical re
searches to the last. His death was caused

The Bank of England will be Is5 years
| old the 9th of the coming July, having re-
ceiyed It's charter OF incorporation at that
date, and having been projected by William
Paterson, a Scotchman. Constituted as a
joint stock company, with a capital of fl,-
1000, the whole sum was lent at interest
to the Government of William and Mary,
then much embarrassed. At the Outset il
was servant of the State, and has ever
since continued such more or less. The
charter, granted at first for III years, has
been from time to time renewed, the Last re
newai, subject to modification or revocation
having been in 1911. For while the bu-i-
ness was done in one room now the bank
occupies, as everybody knows, a large
binding 10 Threadneedle Street, and em-
ploys some 500 men Nothing less than

An idea Of the magnitude Of the coun-

the remarkable statement OF the engraver

Commissioners in New York. In the course
Of year he and his associates printed
coun:erfeils amounting TO three hundred

DARK HOrss and Other Thingss

lSt Joseph Herald, IL
George T, Anthony was Governor one
term, but was not Senator at all. Now his
contingent account will be investigated and
the States furniture taken out of his
his private rooms.
1t is our impression that Senator Pom.
eroy is not able to help any man or politi-
cal cause, and his presence at Topeka in
jured the policy he WAS endeavoring 10
carry ont.
The Kansas City Times is not influential
in two Statee. Missouri and Kansas, and
instead of being annexed to either ought To
20 to Texas and Join Crisp.
Was the Crisp organ paid out of Geo. T.
Anthony's contingent fund? That print.
ing, engraving, extra copies and special
train were not given without money
equivalent.
As friends of literature We shall hope to
see something better in the Cor ntts letters
and the Leavenworth Press.
The Topeka hotels needs washing. Al
40 the persons who have howled therein.
Mr. Pangborn is very industrious, bat
thin.
Whom does the Bldds advocate to-day.
George T. was in Office twelve years,
and so was Pomeroy. That despotism is
at an end.
Dark horses they can all be stabbed.
There were q great many Of them. On the
whole il is better for q candidate to come
out like q man and mske. his fight. The
dark horse has q cowardly way Of eating
the apples after somebody else has planted
the tree and raised the fruit. 1t is poor
business
Topeka says there was nothing like it.
No other town ever had such a crowd,
heard such speeches or was 80 happy in be-
ing 80 miserable.
We trust to see Mr.. Baker again back in
his chair, smiling and happy: He ought
to have been cooler with the fac sim
lie dispatch writer, but no doub: he is joy
full now.
Did Mr.. Worrall make drawings of the
headquarters, scenes and caucuses, with
portraits and remarks?
We are looking an1iously for Alfred
Grays report. 1t can now be read peace
fully and with an agricultural serenity.
