~ Hayes is afflicted with an infatuation for
which there seems to be no cure. He has an
idea that he can conciliate Democrats. He has
signiied his intention, in appointing Supervis-
ors Of the Census, to divide with the Democrats.
The division will probably be largely in the
South. 1t is well known that there has been a
constant decrease Of population in the South,
since the war, by immigration to the North ;
and il was regarded as certainty that the
South would lose immensely in Congressional
representation, and that the North would gain
in larger proportion. But thanks to Hayes,
whom the Democrats justly denounce as poor,
miserable fraud, the Democratic Supervisors can
give an increase of population to the South, and
preserve her power in the Government.

TROY, KANSAS:
Thursday, : January L, 1850.


The Chief commences even with the year 1880
and We hope to keep up with the times through
ont the year. The year that commences to-day
will be memorable one. In politics, il will
witness one of the most exciting struggles since
the foundation of the Government, and one upon
which will greatly depend the continuance or
unsettling of its prosperity. Indications point
to further revival of business, large trade
heavy demand for labor, and increase of wages
aud prices. No former year ever opened with
brighter prospects in every department of busi-
ness aud labor.
We wish all the readers Of the Chief Happy
New Year, and full share in the general pros
perity.

II Much distress is reported in Cove and
Sheridan Counties, by reason of the last drouthy
season, and most of the settlers having come in
too late to raise crops the past season. Sheri-
dan County is in the second tier of Counties
from the north line of the State, and the second
County west Of Rocks, Graham (where there is
some distress) lying between the two. Cove is
on the Kansas Pacific Road and joins Sheridan
on the South. Accredited soliciting agents are
now in Eastern Kansas. This distress should be
relieved at once, and by the people of Kansas.
Don't allow those agents to 60 outside of the
State, soliciting aid

r. Andrew Tracy was hanged in Pennsylva-
MIA, the other day, for the murder of his cousin,
young lady. He was in love with her; but
they were both Catholics, which church forb ids
the marrying of cousins, and he murdered her,
in order to prevent any other mas from marry
ing her. 1t was a clear case for the fool killer,
instead of the hangman. man who would CON-
init murder, when it was so easy and harmless
to leave the Catholic church, and then marry
the girl, showed q woful lack of Judgment, and
violated the rules of the Catholic church, after
all, as well as the laws of God and of his country,
by committing the murder.

II Peter Cooper, the grandfather of the Green
back party, says he wants the laws enforced
He says there has been law of Congress, al
most ever since the formation of the Constitu-
tion, prohibiting any stockholder in bank from
occupying seat in Congress, and he wants to
see it enforced. There is also law in New York,
requiring every citizen to truly give in his per.
sonal property for taxation. Peter Cooper is
worth a couple of millions of dollars, but gives
in only little over one hundred thousand for
taxation. Let Mr.. Cooper see that that law is
enforced

;R- 1t now transpires that Don. Cameron's
election as Chairman of the National Republi-
can Convention was secured by the votes of two
men who represented Southern States in which
they had no residence, and no right to represent.
If the Republican party is to be bulldozed and
swindled, we cannot see why the Southern DEM
ocrats may not rs well be allowed to do it as
men calling themselves Southern Republicans
If majority of the party are to be defrauded of
their rights, why should they have a preference

San Francisco, on account OF the
threatened movement of the Kearney
party against the Chinese. Kearney,
with Mayor Kalloch, has been making
incendiary addresses on the Sand
Lots, the Mayor stating that the Chi
nese town WILSON be declared pub
licnuisance. On Wednesday300unem-
ployed working men, after attending
the Sand Lots meeting, marched to
the Central Pacific Railway Office, de-
manding that that company should
obey the provisions of the new Cali
fornia Constitution forbidding corpo-
rations to employ Chinese, and that
the work should be given to the un-
employed whites. The superinten-
dent, Towne, promised to lay the sub
ject before the directors, and to return
an answer on Monday. The process
sion then quietly dispersed.
LATER.
On Thursday the unemployed
working men of San Francisco, after
holding a meeting in the Sand Lots,
visited various mills, demanding the
discharge Of Chinese workmen. The
superintendent of these works pro-
missed to return an answer to this
demand after consulting the employ
ers. The proceedings in this matter
were orderly. The California Senate
has passed a Bill prohibiting corpora
tons from employing Chinese. This
Bill viii also pass the House OF Re-
representatives. there. These San Fran
cisco demonstrations are intended to-
influence the Legislature on this Bill.
The United States Senate has, on
Senator Blaine's motion, adopted a
resolution requesting the President to
communicate any information the
Government possesses touching al
legged false statistics and fabricated
testimony imposed upon the Halifax
Fishery Commission and used as basis
for the Fishery Award.
On account of the United States
Customs increasing at such a rate, the
Secretary to the Treasury thinks that
he can cancel $1,000 900 OF the Uni
ted States debt weekly from the sur
plus revenues. He asks proposals to-
sell Government 100000 Skies or
