A careful estimate shows a decrease of at
least ten per cent. of the negro population Of
the country compared with what it was in
1860. Death, by its silent processes, is rap

even while politicians and philanthropists
have been wranghng over his destiny, he

The political campaign was pretty ex.
citing in several counties of this State
Among the most animated, and we might
say most abusive, we would name Doni-
phan, Atchison, Bourbon and Lyon. In
Doniphan comfy an independant ticket
beat the regular convention ticket, owing,
we presume, to the fact that both county
papers supported the Independent ticket.
That ought to be enough to make any
ticket successful. Each paper succeeded
in helping itself little while helping their
ticket r


In Atchison county both papers sup
ported the Republican Union ticket, but
that did not save it. Some Independent
candidates for the Legislature out-fanked
the regular nominees Now the two pa
pers are trying to put the fault of their
defeat upon each other. The Champion
swears it was owing to the ultra editorials
of the Free Press, and the latter paper af.
firms that it was owing to the Champion S
hating and weak support of the ticket
which arose from its profound respect for
'Copperheads. In our opinion the course
Of the Cham pioa's is the policy, for the

learned by experience that they, like the
democrats of old, all go one way they
never pull "fernenst" each other, lot if
they know themselves, and prudent { y
politicians are beginning to find that ut.


We presume however, that the real
cause of their candidates defeat was lack
of votes.


Now that elecliod is over, those two pa
pers had better quit their fight, instead Of
spending whole nights rummaging the die
tionary for mean names to fill their col
umns with in denuncation of each other.
Everybody knows by this time, if they did
not before, that the Champion thinks the
Pressiles aye slow coach and the Press
thinks the Championites have the big
head alarmingly. Who cares to differ
with those opinions.


Down in Bourbon county, Charley Blair
beat the regular candidate for the House
and the tremendous influence of the Moa-
itor into the bargain. Blair is the hardest
fellow to beat that can be found in that
district, platform or no platform.


Thus we see these county papers have
their own way sometimes and sometimes
they don't.

the indeprndant ticket and was elected
