Ingalls,.

1t has been claimed by persons denomi-
mated as anti-Ingalls," or anti-Archi.
son." and in fact anti-anything, unless il
should fall to their lot to be especially bene
fitted by any result, that at home, in his
own county, and, worse yet, in his own city
John J. Ingalls, is not only unapprecisted
but disliked.
The catalogue OF charges embraces the
statements that he il .cold-has no sympa.
thv with, or remembrance of his friends
that he is selfish, and, az the Kansas City
Times and the Topeka Bluoe sssert THAT he
buys the votes which have once and again
sent him TO the United States Senate, to
represent State than which none has &C.
complished more, nor has grander expecta-
items than Kansas.
Extraordinary stress has been laid on
this statement: "Atchison don't want him
to, and will not have him represent Kansas
again. He has proved himself unfit, and
We don't want it to be thought that We
countenance him in any way"
No better proof of the fslsity Of these
statements il needed that the unparalleled
expression of good will which was exhib-
tied yesterday on the arrival OF the train
from Atchison. As near az We can learn,
from . gentleman who was On the train, in
an official capacity, there we're 253 ladies
and gentlemen on board, who came over to
congratulate Senator Ingalls, and his wife
on his election in the face Of such determ-
ined and well organized opposition, and to
escort him home. The ladies seem to have
felt a. much enthusiasm "a the sterner sex,
and to have been determined to h I've their
say, as well.
Upon their arrival at the depot, the ex-
cursiopists left the train and in couples,
marched to the Tefft House, headed by the
Atchison cornet band. As they prone
naded up Kansas avenue, full of fun, and
bent upon having . regal time, the con-
tagion spread, and the crowds on the street
seemed 10 be affected almost "a much as
those who caused it.
The balcony in front of the Tefft House
parlors was filled with ladies and gentle
men, and a. the procession marched up the
east side of Kansas Avenue, and when Sen
ator and Mrs. Ingalls, were eeen, signals
we're waited to them and responded to by
citizens en- route to the matinee, and by
our visitors. Turning at the corner of Sew
enth street, the long procession filed into
the Teff. House At the side door, and in .
column went to the parlors, where Senator
and Mrs. Ingalls, greeted them.
When the parlors we're filed, and As
many as could find standing room in the
adjacent rooms h,d taken such positions a.
were available, the meeting was called to
order, and the announcement made that
the company had come to congratulate
Senator Ingalls. The gentlemen who called
the assembly to order-and whose name We
failed to oobtain-introduced Mira. John NJ
Crowell, saying she had been appointed by
the ladies to recite to Senator Ingalls, and
his wife the feelings of his friends and
neighbors.
Mrs. Crowell said in substance that while
copgratulating Senator Ingalls,, and while
all Atchison felt that the election of 40 true
a Republican and 60 estimable a man re-
fsc.ed credit upon the people, and congrat-
ulatirg them upon 90 wis. . choice, the re-
suit should not be credited alone to his
masculine friends, but due credit should be
given to the efforts Of Mrs. Ing ,lls and her
friends.
The lady was remarkably original, at the
same time rejecting the feelings Of her
friends Who we're present. as the applause
which followed her remarks sttes.ed.
W. C. North, on the part of the male
visitors, followed, giving briefly, many
reasons Why Senator ingalls, friends had
remained 90, during all his residence
among them, and Why they and all the
citizens of K ansas should and did ratify and
r. ,ice over the selection Of the Legislature
of Kansas.
Senator Ingalls, replied to both addresses,
the ladies, and Mrs. Crowell, Who
had been appointed on their part, and as
snriny them that he felt and appreciated
the as.i.t,nce which his wife had been to
him. He referred to the canvas, as one
which had been warm, and the fight rs one
hardly, if ever, equalled in Kansas. He
realized how deeply he was indebted to the
