SOME excitement was created in
Toledo by the alleged receipt OF letters
from Thomas Hubbell, a man suppos-
ed TO have died thirteen years ago.

found to be alive, but that his mind
was so affected that until now he was
unable To tell who he was. No faith

MONTREAL, Sept. 2l.-The number
of small pox cases in st. Henri is in
creasing. A large percentage of the
persons met on the streets of the viii
lage are freshly pock marked and
nothing is done to check the disease.
Owing to the death Of some persons
in the east end of the city who were
moi vaccinated and the recovery of
others, who had been inoculated,
many unbelievers in this method of
fighting the disease are submitting
themselves to the operation. The dis
ease has made lis appearance in her
Vile, this province. AT meeting of
citizens of s.. Joseph parish, it was
stated that a number Of small pox
cases in that place had spread to an
alarming @ extent. The French people,
it was said, were careless about the
matter and there was danger OF still
further increase of the disease.

THE PENITENTIARY MATTER.

The report of the special committee
to investigate the affairs of the peni.
Tertiary seems to have been made a.
favorable to the management as could
be. taking in view the already pub.
lished facts
The substance of the report is. that
the directors knew nothing of the ii
nancial affairs of the institution, re-
ferring everything to the Warden;
and that the Warden relieved himself
of care on the subject, supposing his
chief clerk was all right, and that the
consequence was that the trusted
clerk stole So, eco of the states money.
The committee recommends perms-
nent change in the style of book-keep-
ing AT the peuitentiary, and that the
state build another penitentiary. OF
refornstory rather than positive
character
The committee did not feel called
upon TO dwell upon the past: to point
4 moral or adorn tale. but had il
done so. i; could have stated that the
experiment of running penitentiary
as a partisan. political and personal
institution has not proved glittering
success. That forcing upon the war
den man for chief clerk who had no
claim for the place except that he had
been \ bawling campaign striker: so
noisy. officicus and neglectful of his
business that he had been fired" on;
his situation, was bad break" from
which the worst consequences were TO
be expected. The committee might fur
Their have said that retaining such man
in a responsible position after il was
common talk, not only in Leaven-
worth, but in other cities, that he was
carousing sround, keeping in fine
stylc common woman. revealed a
great deal OF carele-sness or creduaii-
ty in somebody A board of direc-
tors who did not know what the war
den was doing. and the warden who
did not know what his clerk was do
ing, constituted the difficulty at the
nenitentisry. The repetition of the
trouble may be avoided by selecting
more careful persons for directors and
warden and a less sportive statesman
for clerk. In the offering of the
reformatory which this generous state
is recommended TO build il is TO be
hoped this idea will be kept in view

WHAT A SCRAMBLE.

For years and years the patriots,
who, for the most part were in sympa-
thy with the men who backed JEFF
Davis, have been telling the people
that the Republican party were only a
party of spoils and of Office, that its
members sunk all other considerations
in their inordinate greed for place.
For the first time since the Democratic
party attempted TO destroy free insti-
tutions aud popular government,
and to set up in its place an aristocracy
of office holders, it is back in power,
and we want 10 call the attention of
all fair, honest minded people TO the
fact thafto-day there is greater num-
Der of Kansas Democrats in Washing
ton ciphering and begging for places
than there ever were Republicans, at
least five to one. From the papers we
gather that not less than two hundred
of these Democrats who have sat
around for years complaining of Re-
publican greed, have dropped every
thing, many of them good business,
and are now in Washington intriguing
and fighting for offices. This is free
country of majority rule, but the dis
gushing and humiliating spectacle of
the unprecedented scramble reveals at
once the hypocracy of the men who
have kept up the whine alluded 10 in a
way il seems 10 US that no thought
full American citizen can fail to see.

essary, but even if every Republican
in the land should be kicked out, no
mugwump must be shown any favors.
II is unnecessary for us to say that the
hatred of the Democratic party for
the mugwump as compared TO that of
the Republican hatred for the same
crowd is as a cambria needle TO the

ExTRAVAGANCE.

1t il now that the senate ought to
show is regard for the people of Kan
sas, and put up the gates against such
Interpretations. The house seems
to think the resources of the Kansas
TAXPAYER are limitless; that he ought
to be made to pay, not only for neces-
sites, but luxuries. Every institution
that wants money should have it; ev-
cry ''section" that wants a new insti-
tuition should have it; every patriot
who subscribes to beautify the ground
aroudd Soldiers Home should have
his subscription paid for him by the
state Ii rests with the senate now to
say NO" to all this. There is no oc-
casion for speech-making; just improve
the little time there is left in chopping
of ever, thing that adds. without alb
solutely necessity, to the burdens of
the Kansas Taxpayer. The s,ate is
doing well, but that is no reason for
plundering il. Let senators pursue a
protective policy.-Champion.

INGALLS, AND VEST.

Ii is generally conceded that the
two most eloquent men the higher

Vest. They are As different in person
as in their manners of eloquencc In
gals, tall, angular. with siivery voice,
finely modulaied and rare command
of beautiful language, pleases the ear
while he convinces the mind. Vest,
short, with rounded shoulders, which
are almost defermed, lacks the natural
gifts of the senator from Kan
sas- His voice is ludicrous-
ly thin his gestures awkward,
his person unpreposscssing; but his
fiery eloqueuce browns these defects
and carries the mind of listeners along
in its torrent. ingalls, is cold, polished,
and seems To weigh the effect of each
word before uttering it. Vest, hot,
impatient and careless of the nice dis
tinction of words, makes language
only Il vent to his feelings. Ingalls, is
the Cicero of the senate, Vest the De
mosthenes. Both are men of cultivat-
ed intellect, both somewhat of poets,
and both at times not at all practical
in their ideas of legislation.--Ex-
