CIty.-Aa Analysis OF the Federal APP
PoIntments In Kansas By Congregational
| Special Correspondence.
TOPEKA, July =, 1859.
Several soldiers reunions will be
held In Kansas this fall, chief Of
which will be the state reunion at
Ellsworth where so. 600 Is being ex-
pended in the erection Of suitable
buildings for the accommodations
Of the veterans for years 10 come.
Instead OF going TO Milwaukee
through the heat and dust, trip re-
quiring the expenditure OF q large
sum Of money for very poor accom-
modatlons, would 10 not be wise aud
sensible for the old soldiers Of Kan
sas to attend our state and local
reunions, spend their money at
home, snd become better acquainted
with each other? IL has been de-
nOnstrated that the veterans of
Kansas do not have to go out Of the
state to have q good time. What
spare change they have to expend
for the pleasures Of reunion should
be left in Kansas and not in distant
city and state.

Our farmers have laid then products
down In that city to feed snd fatten
Its arrogant business men, and the
return for all this Ii abuse and mis-
| representation from her newspapers.
The people Of Kansas are character
lied as hypocrites aud pharasees by
the press Of that modern SOdOm,
while her business men hold out
IL l.as.1a 0.rn.lUEaNa s.F sRs0r
farmers and the patronage of our
merchants. IL the business men Of
Kansas will meet In convention aud
agree to build q great city on Kan
sas soil, place a boycott on Kansas
City and decline to purchase q dol
lars worth Of goods from her mer-
chants, they will accomplish for
Kansas something which will re-
down to the glory and pride of the
state. A convention of all the lead
ing business men Of Kansas with the
object in view Of encouraging 10y
their patronage wholesale aud job
bling houses TO be located at some
central point In the state with ample
railroad advantages would be a
movement endorsed by any citizen
Of Kansas. Whatever town or city
this convention might name ~ the
most convenient aud advantageOusly
located, would, In q few years rival |
Kansas city In the matter of whole |
sale and jObbing business. III the |
merchants Of Kansas would agree To |
build up such a city by throwing to |
its wholesale business their patron
age, the question Of ample railroad
facilities and rates would he very
easily and quickly secured. Let
Kansas build up Kansas institutions |
and rebuke the rum-ridden Sodom
i'm Missouri which fattens on our
products and In return has nothing
but lies, abuse and vilificatiOn Of
our state and people.
ANALYSIS BY CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRICTs.
Two important appointments for
Kansas are yet to be made. II. dis
trict attorney and United States
revenue collector. The man
who will analyZe the Hp-
pOintments thus far m ade will be
able to guess very close to the lucky
men Let US take an inventory 10y
congressional districts.
In the first district we find not q
single appointment.
The second has furnished CAPTAIN
Weaver, Of Fort Scott, superinten-
dent of the railway mail service nj
Fort Worth, Texas, aud II. r. Ogg,
OF Olathe, agent of the Black Bob
Indians. Added to these names II
that Of Leslie J. Perry, Of Wisconsin,
who had the support OF Senators |
Plumb and Ingalls, for n fat place nj
Washington, who has teen credited
to Kansas aud saddled upon the Re |
publicans of the second district. |
Perry left Kansas over five years ago |
and since that time has been iden- |
titled with the politics Of Wisconsin. |
IL would lie no more ridiculous and |
cheeky TO credit Tom. Cavanaugh's |
appointment TO the office Of surveyor |
general OF Washington territory 10 |
Kansas.
The third district has Jared better
than the second. Judge George |
Chandler OF Independence, assist ant |
secretary OF the interior; w. NJ.
Allison Of Winfield, L. =. Commits |
siOner at Guthrie and Col. Pollock,
OF Arkansas City, a position at
Washington, completes the list.
The fourth district comes out Of the |
struggle with more hOnOrs aud sI,oils |
than any OF them. Thomas Ryan. |
of Topeka, minister to Mexico; J. V.
Admire Of Usage city, receiver at the
Kingfisher land office; Judge Har-
vey, Of Topeka, commissioner AT
Oklahoma; Il. l. Walker, Of Topeka,
L. \. marshal; Rev. Bernard Kelley,
Of EmpOria, L. Is. Pension agent at |
Topeka. IL will be seen that while
the Fourth gets there with the
Lsa Aff Taa..l hna al At /
head OF the procession. The fifth dis
trict gets two places Of minor impOr-
lance. Capt. II. ID. Baker, OF Salina
was chosen by Col. Walker a. deputy
L. i. Marshal for the Indian terri
tory, and NJ. ID. Sampson, OF Salina
goes TO 81. Johns, New Brunswick.
In the sixth district Congressman
Turner fixed u. T, WalrOund, Of
MankatO, consul at CadiZ, and J. II.
franklin of Russell, deputy second
auditor Of treasury.
The seventh district, the largest
and strongest In the United States,
aud probably the strongest In X au-
sas politics, has thus far received
nothing except Finn, OF kiawa,
who was appointed postmaster down
at Guthrie. A prominent politician
of the Seventh related q conversation
had with one Of our senators recent
ly, I'm which he inquired Of the SEN
ator what the fellows down there had
done to be thus ignored. He
was informed that the Republi.
cans OF the Seventh had been able to
capture the best state offices, aud
that to even the thing up the fellows
In the other parts Of the state had
been favored. That was what the
politician termed au Arkansas
Valley chill" With the First and
Seventh district without q crumb
the guessers ought to DE able to
locate the next L. =. attorney ard
revenue collector. ID. q. NJ.
