AcKLgS's CASE.

There was some doubt Of the correct
ness Of the Posts information this morn
ing that Acklen was to be expelled from
Congress in disgrace, but It is positively
stated tonight that the subcommittee,
Rice, Horndon and Bissell, to whom the
matter was referred, have unanimously
reported 10 the full committee that Ack-
lens offense was sufficiently grave to war
rant his expulsion. Members OF the full
committee say, however, that the matter
will not be acted upon, hastily. and that
Acklen will have a chance to make all pos
sible defense.
There is little sympathy for the man.
II Is said to-day that Representative King,
Of Louisiana, who has befriended him,
told him plainly that his conduct had
been such that he would no longer stand
up for him. King and Acklen had long
private interview, and when Acklen left
the room he was deadly pale and very
nervous, and took carriage home. Mem
bers OF the committee are very close
monthed about it. but enough is known
to warrant the statement that Acklen
must 20. Among other developments to-
day, Il Is said that one Of the clerks con-
fessed that Acklen tried to bribe him.
Taking all OF Acklen's scrapes together
since he has been in Congress land he Is
continually in hot water), the belief Is
general here that he is either an unmiti-
gated rascal or wonderfully unfortunate

On Monday Tom Young will introduce
a resolution in the House asking for the
appointment of special committee Of
FIVE to investigate the system Of the
United States Courts. The testimony will
be much Of the same character as that re-
Gently killed by the Senate Judiciary COM
mittee. The defects in that resolution,
however, will be remedied in the one to
be introduced day after tomorrow, and
this time General Young no doubt will
make o success Of his project.
Under the old resolution, sat down upon
by Thurman and Davis, and other heavy
weights in the Senate, there was TO be a
Joint committee to investigate the alleged
corruption in Federal courts. The trou.
BILE was that matters might be unearthed
calling for the impeachment OF one or
more Federal Judges, and the Senators
could not act as investigators and jurors
both. The resolution was not killed be-
cause OF hostility to this branch OF the in
vestigaton.
These objections make the way clear for
General Young to take fresh start, and
he will do SO on Monday. Federal Court
Clerks who have been stealing after the
mannero OF Ambrose in Cincinnati, need
not hope to escape investigation. There
is little question but what the resolution
will pass the House almost unanimously.
General Young being asked to-day, II
there was any truth In the report that an
attempt was masing .S 70 amps;a1r apa%;na ort St n

AN AXIOM PERSONIFIED.
Rev. Dennis Sloan as an Actol

It has been said that . man "mean enough to steal money from dead nigger's eye" possessed in bold relief the basest elements of human nature. A case in point has meyer yet been pro scented to the public, 60 far as our knowledge goes, but it is reserved for Pope county to furnish an example of the sordid covetousness expressed in the above well-wsrn saying.
 About the 27th of last month a young negro man named Lewis Smith, living on the farm of Mir. B. H. Allen. . few miles from Russellville, sicksnsd and died. Prominent among the attend ants at the negro's sick-bed was Rev. Dennis Sloan, of the A. Nj. E. Church. Rev. Sloan is sbony-hued and an sx- horter of the old school. Rev. Sloan officiated at the grave, and mingled bis tears with tho sods of the valley as they rattled down upon the coffin lid of his deceased brother. A few days after the funeral tho colored woman who furnished two half dollars to close the eye-lids of Lewis Smith focused her thoughts upon worldly affairs again, and enquired for her money. Dark rumors were in the air and pointed to- ward the officious clergyman. He de- nisd the charge with fsrvency becom- ing his station. A writ was issued, witnesses summoned, and before Els quire Bergman last Saturday, two men swore they saw tho colored divine slip the money into his pocket. At this juncture the prisoner arose and admit ted his guilt and implorsd the mercy of tho court. The court fined him $l0, with costs, and ordered him imprisoned for six hours. After six hours, the fine was paid, the prisoner liberated, and Rev. Dennis Sloan goes forth to "pasturss green and conquests new"

From the Larned Chronoscope.
.Iarned is having relapse Of the Leadville
fever.
Millet hay is selling in Larnsd for four

Mr.. Colvin sold eighteen fine bucks out Of
his heard last week At twenty-five dollars q
head.
A red flannel band around the neck, satur-
ated with coal oil, is the prevailing style

association for Southwestern Kansas.
W. Colvin negotiated the sale Of Mrs
LG. Kings 200 sheep for $500, and he says
they we're the cheapest ever sold in Pawnee

Mr.. Colvin informs I'd that the late sown
wheat is beginning to show itself nicely, and
he thinks few more days OF such weather
will insure good crops.
We hear it stated that the Santa Fe Com
pany intend to extend their 81. Louis
