himself to the task Of shoveling sugar in q

war. There was nothing about his record
to arouse enthusiasm in the Republican
ranks. His election is the result of
other causes than his own popular

the hard money Issue was made subordi-

nevertheless used t. advantage. The Con-

the mischief. But while this is unques-
the case, and while the result
shows the wisdom of the Republican lesd-

it does not prove, what many of the

candidate can run as we'll on the sectional

The Masonic Grand Chapter and Grand
Lodge of Kansas, have been holding their
annual meetings a. the Masonic Temple in
this city during the present week. Mem
bers of the order in Kansas to the number
of nearly saur hundred have been in at
tendance, coming from all sections of the
State, and many eminent Masons from other
parts Of the country have also been present.
These meetings are events Of much more than
ordinary interest to members OF the Order,
and it has rarely happened that that so
many prominent and distinguished Mssons
have been gathered together in the West.
The Order OF the Eastern Star, the division
Masonry to which ladies are admitted,
has also held its annual meeting during
the week, and with a large attendance.
The proceedings of all these grand bodies
have been marked by perfect harmony, and
the reports of the state of the Order show
1t to be in highly Satisfactory condition
throughout Kansas.

President HAYES.

Twen J seven or eight years ago, in
the city Of Cincinnati, Ohio, soon after the
passage of the infamous fugitive slave act
BY Congress, the FIRST case under this act
was tried by the United States Commieeion-
er Carpenter. A fugitive slave was on trial.
1t took two days to dispose of the case
The counsel for the slave was John Joilieff
and Lawyer Hayes. The former has gone
to his long home, honored and respected BY
ali who knew him; Issysr Hayes is now
President of the United States. The fugi-
tive's counsel did not clear him; but dur
ing the trial Commissioner Carpenter was
giving his opinion of the law. The fugitive
was furnished with q broad.brim Quaker
looking hat and cloak. He srose from
his chair which was surrounded BY anxious
listeners. He took his departure, with two
other darkies, in An orderly and becoming
manner, without asking leave Of the court.
He decended the stairs leading into back
yard, opening q door which led into m
alley, locked the door after him, and moth
ing more was seen of him. This was .he
end of the first fugitive slave Gaze before
a United States Commissioner, under the
law ok4S5O.
When President Hayes was delivering
his address to the immense crowd at the
Neosho fair l stood but . few feet from
him. l could not keep ny thoushte from
the scene which l witnessed in the court
house at Cincinnati twenty-seven years ago.
1t was . noble act to plead for . poor
fugitive in those days, it took moral cour-
age, which Is not always found among
men. 1t is these little traits of the human
character which characterize any man.
They give US q key to the inner man, and
show US the true nobility and tenderness Of
heart. Public eervices may mark his

ience is the touch-stone which moves hu-

THE RESULT.

Iowa gives her old-time msjority-from
$1,000 to 10000; the figures she used to
roll up before The Democrstic-G Gre enback
fusion. These figures represent the msior-
ity for Governor. Thompson, the Repub-
licsn candidate for Congress, TO fill tie
vacancy occasioned by the death of Hiram
Price, is elected by about three Thousand
majority.
In Ohio, the msj1rity for Foster, the
Republican candidate for Governor, will
probably reach 10000. The Republicans
have q majority on j1int ballot in the
Legislature and claim 3 majority in each
house. 1t ie pretty clean sweep.

BEECHEn ON THE STUMP.

Henry Ward Beecher's appearance On
the platform Of Brooklyn Academy Of
Music on the evening OF Senator Conk-
ling's address, was the occasion Of q
great outburst of enthusiasm and of
quite a dramatic little incident. The
latter ia described as follows:
When he Senator Conkling) resumed his
seat, he was again warmly cheeIed, and loud
calls went forth for Mr.. Beecher. The preach
er sat as passive and immovsble as marble,
but the calls for him did not subside. AT this
point a very pleasant incident occurred which
added a new feature TO the scene. Mr.. Conk.
ling turned around TO catch glimpse of the
object OF so much enthusiasm, and caught
Mr.. Beecher's eye. Both gentlemen arr Sc
and advanced, when they grssped each 9TH
er's bend cordially. The assemblage then
became yociferous, and the orchestra caught
the infection and gave out a lively air. At
last, Mr.. Beecher yielded and came forward
TO the front of the stage.
The Plymouth pastors remarks were, for
one who during the past few years has been

BLOOD- AOINDS.

Colonel T. c. Butler, who is showing
New Workers how blood-hounds we're en-
ployed to hunt fugitive slaves before the
war, is a cousin of Senator Hamburg But
Ter Of South Carolina. Before the war the
hounds of Colonel Butler were noted in
South Carolipa for their ferocity; AID a
fleeing slave rarely escaped their teeth. The
exhibition of Colonel Butler shows the cal
lousness Of the bloodhound chivalry TO the
shameful past. II the Southern whites had
improved much in humanity since the Days
of slave hunting, the exhibition might not
cause such an unpleasant reminder of the
present stste Of civilization. Mr.. Tilden
should suggest TO Colonel Batter, that he
might bsnefit the common cause by depart
ng to the South with his blood hounds.

LET THE COUKTs SETTLE

The County Commissioners have referred
back to the Auditor the now famous claim
Of County Attorney Taylor, OF three thou
sand and some odd dollars, for extra Ger
vices. The Commissioners seem to think
that the Auditor may possibly revise his
opinion, and permit a part of the bill
to go through. II he does 80 he will act in
utter defiance Of public opinion. If there is
any one point upon which the minds Of
this people are fully made up, it is tina,
This bill is an outrageous attempt at extor-
ton, and ought not to be paid.
Whenever the Commissioners send the
County Attorney out Of the county on
public business, they should make rea-
sonable allowance for his expenses, but not
one cent Of extra per diem should be
allowed. He receives handsome salary.
enough, and more than enough, to pay him
Tor all that his time is worth, even though
he should put in three hundred and sixty
five days every year, and ii he doesn't want
to work Tor it let him resign.
Auditor Weed passed upon this bill once
he disposed of it just as every disinter-
ested man in the county will agree that it
ought to be disposed of-by refusing to al
low 1T. Mr.. Taylor then took his bill into
the courts and there it should be left. The
Commissioners made mistake when they
ordered it to be sent back to the Auditor,
and the Auditor will be doing what he
knows is not right, and what the people of
the county know is not right if he mskes
any change inthe policy that he has hither-
to pursued with regard to it. There is only
one thing for the Auditor to do with regard |
TO an unjust claim, ard that ia to refuse to
allow.
This bill having been taken into court |
should be disposed Of BY the court. Ii Mr. |
Taylor can get judgment for it, or any part |
of il, there will be time enough then to
talk about paying it or compromising it.

Treasurer, has {. i2i majority.
No news of Importance has been received
this morning by the other party, except
that the Republican Committee conceded
the defeat of Wsllbridge, the Republican
candidate for Senator in the Toledo district.
This gives the Republicans eight maiority
in the Senate, and certainly So msjority on

By the way, that reminds us that the
spirit of Gov. Shannon told Col. Eaton last
summer, down at Motifs, that Gen. Ewing
was going to be elected Governor Of Ohio
this year by 40. 600 majority, and that all
hell couldn't prevent him from being
elected President next year. Suppose We
had staked a million or two on Shannon's

now? 1t seems as though thoroughbred
