II We this week publish 10. shelby's ac-
count of the Price Raid, eontradicting General
Pleasontons account, given last week. We
have no doubt that Shelby is correct in some
things; but there is entirely too much muchness
of it. Taking Shelby's account, Price had
scarcely any troops at all, and yet whipped the
Union forces every chance he got, and was ready
to whip them more. The Union soldiers who
were there, and witnessed the slaughter and
capture of Rebels, will not be convinced by
shelby's account; neither will the people of
Kansas, who know that that was the last Rebel
attempt to invade or annoy Kansas. The result
and consequences were very much like those of
a thorough defeat of the Rebels Q

LITERARY PIRACY.-Mrs. Elizabeth Akers AZ.
len, better known as "Fiorence Percy" is unfor-
tunate in having her choicest pOetical creations
flched from her. and bestowed upon persons of
the male sey. The attempt Of one Ball to ap-
propriate the authorship of "Rock Ne to Sleep"
is yet fresh in the minds of many. Ball made
an ignomniOus failure and sank back into OBJ
livion. Now comes a Kentucky correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, and pretends to
dispose Of another of her beautiful poems-"The
Two Villages" This correspondent tells the
story in a way to make it appear that the poem
was almost unknown, and copies almost impos-
sible to obtain. He heard it recited, in Cincin-
natl, many years ago. Afterwards he inquired,
and even advertised for copy, but could not
obtain one but the other day he was startled
10 find it in Frankfort paper. He then coolly
proceeds to prove that the poem was written by
the late Theodore O'Hara, author of the poem,
''The Bivouac of the Dead" in which he is
sisted by Henry b. Stanton, himself fine poet,
who ought to know better. Florence Percy
wrote the poem; it has been going the rounds of
the papers, year after year, and may be found in
volumes of collections of popular poetry. James
@. Clark, the ballad singer, has sung it in all
parts of the country, and given the name Of the
author. In this grand literary discovery, the
correspondent of the Commercial has found a
mares nest, besides displaying vast amount of
ignorance.

II 1t is said that the Kansas members of
Congress are kicking against the proposed ap-
portionment, because it does the State injustice.
1t gives MS six members, while by making the
total number three or four higher, it would give
us more. But would not an increase place 9TH
CT States at the same disadvantage Would not
an increase of five or six give Kansas a gain of

to the Sonth, and consequently operate to the
disadvantage of the NOrthi The South, by
means of fraudulent census returns, already has
an undue strength. Kansas can oford to put up
with the injustice, for the good of the cause.

Coon BACKING FOR LoGAS.-The recent pubiica-
tion of General Coxs letter to President Garfield
while the latter was Member of Congress- adds
materially to the complications in the Fz John Por-
ter ease. General Cox. man thoroughly conserya-
tive in character tells the late President that after
q careful examination of the subject. with the aid of
excellent maps, he considers the Judgment of the
original Court just and no reason for re-
versing it; and General Garfield. in reply, says
that he has endeavOred ito separate himsef from
the case, and To look at it intellectually though
il related only to the pieces a chess board, !" and
has reached the same conclusion. Two such author
tiles will prove strong support to Senator Logan,
and will go far TO neutraze the efforts of Porter's
friends for his Observation-Disclosures Amerirdn.

BEGIsSISG TO l,SocK IT TO PrEcEs.-The fol.
lowing decision on the prohibitery law has Just
bern rendered by the Supreme Court,
TorEKt, Feb. s--The Supreme Court TODAY de-
eided unconstitutional much of the prolbiterv
law as presrribes punishment for drunkeppess on
the ground that the provision was not expressed in
the title of the bill The Court also says that persons

This is knocking big chip of the law, and is
the next thing to taking the breath out of it.
Great hope was built upon the clause providing
for the imprisonment of drunken persons, until
they testified as to where they got their liqnor.
The decision that persons legally in possession
of liqnor can give it away, chips out another big
slice. person who bays liquor oatside the
State, is legally in possession of is, and can treat
his friends, when he likes. This opens the way
for ''owl Clubs" and for erasions by sellers. 1t
also makes our next Christmas egg -nog all right.

We understand that the question is being qni-
etly discussed in some parts of the State, OF con-
testing the right of the present members OF the
,o,rer branch of the Kansas Legislature to act in
that eapacity at the contemplated extra session-
II Is claimed that they legislated themselves oh'
Of Office, in the passage of the apPortionnent mn

whose District is the only one composed anu

the Senators shall hold until the election I'D

sentatives.
This seem, To us to be quibble that will not

the term of Representatives two years, and IN the
case of the present members, the two years do
not expire until November. The Legislature, by

Kansas hss got prohibition, and must wrestIe
with it, By anything like proper effort on the
part of the opponents Of the amendment, 1t
would have been decisively beaten. But the
outspoken opponents FILTERED away their ener-
gies, while manp other decided opponents were
afraid to speak out, or hypocritically hurrahed
for it, in the excitement of the campaign, from
considerations of selfshness or policy. Ever
since, they have been trying to defeat the law
by quibbles. They have failed on technical con-
stitutional points, and now contemplating
another, that will not stand. Ifpersons who are
honestly opposed to the law, would throw aside
quibbling aud hypocrisy, and inaugurate an en-
ergetic campaign against the law, and stick at
it, and use all available means, they could, in a
few years, wipe it out. But they never can do
It by quibbling, aud by cant about enforcing the
law, and all such stuff. Let those who are in
favor Of the law, enforce it, and those who are
opposed to il, go to work TO secure its repeal.
