n We used sometimes to sympathize with
Jim Beach, in the wars Of the Republican party
of st. Joseph. But his conduct, in the past
month or two, has satisfied US that our sympa-
thy was wasted. He is mischefmaker and a
fraud and we do not wonder that the Repub-
licans vomit him up, and unload him, whenever
they have opportunity. He, and comrade
in distress, who, like him, had been kicked ont
Of the st. Joseph post-ofce, were the instigators
and chief dirt-wOrkers in the outrage perpetra-
ted upon the District by the State Convention.
And after all his trouble, the Convention repu-
dated him, by refusing to send him as dele
gate to Chicago, for which he had been working
for months. He was too much even for the
stomach of Grant Convention.

COUNTY PRISnSG.-Judg- O'is has decided
the County printing question, in a c,>e in Mem
aha County. The County Board designated the
Seneca Courier and the Sabetha Repabiioas as the
official papers, to do the County printing. The
County Treasurer, acting upon the opinion of
Attorney General Davis, gave the delinquent
tax list to the Seneca Tribune. The County
Board allowed the bills of the two official pa
pers, (Which also published the x-list,) and
rejected that of the Tribune. The Publisher Of
the Tribune sued for his pay, and Judge Otis
decided that, under the law, the County Board
had exclusive control of all County printing.
We cannot see how he could possibly have de-
cided otherwise. 1t seems to us that all the
fne-spun arguments and hair-splitting points
by the Attorney Genearl should not take prece-
dence of the plain and unequivocal language of
the law. The case will be taken to the Supreme
Court. If the decision Of Judge Otis is affirmed,
the publisher of the Tribune should compel the
County Treasurer to pay him for his work.

Il Now the GRANTEES, thinking they are
sure of the National Convention, are proposing
Postmaster General Key for Vice President on
the same ticket-a Democrat and Rebel. As
Grant will get the nomination, if he gets it all,
by the votes of the Southern States, that can
not give Republican vote, they may as well
do something to compensate for the loss of Re-
publican votes in the North.

II The Topeka Commonwealth devotes col
umn to prove that the Chiefs statement relative
to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road nnuiug the Grant boom was not true.
We do not pretend to claim that every minor
detail of it was correct; but we have pretty
well settled conviction that the gist and sub
stance of our article was true, the Commonwealth
denial notwithstanding.

r The Topeka COnmonrealh reads Dis
trict Jude in Southern Kansas q savage lesson
for giving condemned murderer solid lecture
upon his infamous crime, upon passing sentence
of death. The Commonwealth must be pushed
for something to find fault with. 1t knows that
passing sentence of death upon q murderer in
Kansas is burlesque and q farce, and that
sound cursing by the Judge is about the worst
punishment that can be inflicted, under our
laws and our Timber Jimmy Governors.

II number of newspapers, several of them
in this State, contend E. b. Washburne would
be the strongest Republican nominee for Presi-
dent. For the life of us, we can't see why. En-
thusiasm is good part of the battle. Either
Blaine or GIANT would create enthusiasm, but
what is there about Washburne to excite it 7
One would as soon look for warmth from cold
buckwheat cake. Besides, it is the papers most
bitterly opposed to a third term for Grant that
are crying for Wsshburne, when they know
that washburne is one of the strongest advo-
Gates aud promoters of the third term, and
fuses to be regarded as q candidate, as long as
Grant is on the track. OF the two, we believe
Grant would make the strongest candidate.

SHERMAN's CANDIDACY.-Lookinga at Sher-
mans candidacy and chances, one is forced to
the conclusion that all he expects from it, is to
use the vote of the great State Of Ohio as trad
ing capital with which to secure personal advan-
tage for himself He will doubtless secure the
solid delegation from Ohio; but outside of that
State, his delegates will be scattering, and in
significant in numbers. Had he kept out of the
race, Ohio would have been as soldly for Blaine.
Sherman may use the vote of the State to turn
the scale in favor of the candidate who will make
him the best pledges in return. When the
empty compliment of voting for Sherman is gone
through with, that vote will not go to Blaine.
All that the Republicans of Ohio will make by
their Sherman boom, will be to see the vote of
the State traded of to q man who is not their
choice, for the personal agsrandiEement of John
Sherman.

ELDKR MIIcHELL.-It has come to be q pretty gen
er ally admitted fact that religion and polite: have
little in common, and there particularly few who
believe that the Almighty has much to do with the
modern breed of blatherskite politicians. We are
inclined to the belief, in this connection that Rev.
d. p MITCHELL late p. E.. holds substantially views
as above stated. He essayed to God US repre-
sented by the church, and the Devil represented
by the stump, and he has made decided failure in
both enterprises He played q sort of fiat charac-
ter both preacher and politician, and has receiv
ed his rebuke From Presiding Elder of q promi-
nent district, he retres to quiet charge in little
obscure town in Reno County. Possibly he will let
fire alone after this-or fight it, he ought to, from
the pulpit.-Ottard Republican.

MISSOURI AND KESrUcKY.-The Republican

Missouri AND KESrUcKY.-The Republican
State Conventions of Missouri and Kentucky
met last week. We have been listening for the
Grant fellows in Kansas, who have been
bowling so dismaly over the action Of the
Blaine men here, to give US blast or two on
their bazoos over Missouri and Kentucky |;
but SO far, not blast. But that was their side,
and it was all right. Those two States instruc-
ted for Grant, as every body expected they would;
but when men act the fraud and bully when
there is no necessity for it, it must be in their
nature, and they can't helpit. Under the sys-
TEN adopted in Missouri, there were but few
dele gates in the Convention who were not for
Grant, and probably every District had q Grant
majority. But that was not sufficient. They
wanted to send not only Grant delegates to Chi
csgo, but such rs belonged to and were APPROX
ed Of by the Ring. The outrage upon the st.
Joseph District was especially cheeky. There
was not q contested delegate from the District,
yet the Convention practically disfranchised it
in the real work Of the session-setting il aside,
as if it were contested, and allowing two of the
delegates, high in the con fdence Of the Ring,
to exercise the authority that belonged to the
whole. The two delegates to Chicago, selected
by q majority, were set aside but when it came
to the pinch, the Convention shrank from the
inexcusableness of the outrage, and rejected the
Ring delegates from the District.
In Kentucky, the Grant party resorted to
more approved Southern methods. There was
but little doubt of large Grant mrjority in the
Convection, but they wanted all. In Louisville,
prominent Democratic roughs were engaged to
help run the primary meetings for Grant, and
they did it, completely overpowering the anti
Grant Republicans. The necessity for "strong
government" must be pressing, when such
methods are resorted to, to stide the voice Of
the Republican masses

The game yesterday on the National
grounds was expected to have been contest
between the Stars (white) and Douglasscs
tcolorcd), but in consequence of some Of The
players of the former club failing to appear,
the other nine consented that Lynch and
Baker might help the white team out The
caught. The Douglass nine was also short
three Of their best players, aud substitutes
were put on. Six innings were played, re.
sultinG in u victory for tue Star club by u score
fisk to five.
To-day at 4:15 o'clock will be played an ex-
hibition game by picked nine. This is the
first part of the programme of the testimonial
extended by The citizens Of the District to tho
National club. A word here in regard TO tue
conduct of the club and its support up W tho
present time may not be out Of place The
stockholders by their own endeuyors and
generosity have kept tho club running
through the season. In consequence of the
breaking up Of other clubs the Nationals were
left with schedule of games partially played
out. 1t was useless tO hope to secure games
here in the summer mouths, 20 the club was
transported north TO be ia the line with
league clubs aud catch whatever games they
could. 1t is only right aud proper that the
lovers Of baseball should manifest their ap-
probation of tho efforts of those having the
matter IN hand IL try aud hold frst.class
team in this city. This they can now readi y
do by purchasing tickets for tho ball game to-
day and excursion tomorrow evening. The
price for the pleasure is cheap, aud no one
need refuse TO buy ticket on that account.
