In his reply to the resignation of
eolloetor Murphy, of New York, last
week, the President expressed the ut
moat confidence in hia administration
of the affairs of the New York Custom
house, and assured him, in closing, that
time will convince a just public of the
entire Innocence of the charges brought
against him.
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, who sent
the dispatch in relation to Col. O. II.
Burbrldge, to which we alluded last
week, does that gentleman the justice
to correct the statement, In a late issue
of the Commercial, and publishes evl
dence that be was misinformed in ma
king his former statement.
The recommendation of Commission

a part of the time of residence on tho

ber of worthy cases. We hope his rec
ommendation may result in the passage
of a statute governing the case.
Borne pressure has been brought to
bear upon the President to get certain
West Point cadets restored, wbo were
dismissed for "basing." Tho President
very emphatically informed the party
who called on him that he would not
restore any of the dismissed cadets.
To do so, he said, would impair the
efficiency of the academy, and destroy
its discipline
Tweed and Hall Qtjabbkl. Mayor
nail and Tweed are reported to have
had a violent quarrel. Tweed accusing
Hall of eowardice and treachery, say:
Ine Hall now wants to abandon his
friends who made him, just as he aban
doned the Republicans when they bad
nothing more to give him. Tweed still
declares he Is the only saan of nerve in
the entire Democratic party of New
York city.
Arrangements ate almost com pie

operations. Tho new building is to cov
er the entire square, bounded by Sixth
and Seventh streets and Washingto:
avenue and Green street, and will cost in
the neighborhood of a million dollars
The New York Tribune is getting
blood-thirsty. It endorses and urges
tho proposition of the Governor of
Arizona for the Government to hire
good Indians to run down and kill the
miserable Apaches. We doubt very
much if the "frlondlles" could be in
duced to lend themselves to this bnsl
neas. They would undoubtedly take
the pay for the work with great alacrl
ty. but when it comes to tho work to
be done they would probably fall.
Enlarged. Tho Burlington ratriot
has again enlarged to an eight column
paper. We are glad of this. The Pa
triot Is a good paper, and it is printed in
a good town. Brown has said a good
many mean things about us, one time
and another, which he would not have
said had ha understood our, motif as,
but that is no reason whatever why we
should not wish him the greatest degree
of success and prosperity and we sin
cerely hope that he will meet' with
snch prosperity that he will be com
pelled to enlarge again in loss than a

We learn from a special to the Chica
go Journal that recently1' delegate
Hooper, of Utah, had an interview with
the President relative to affairs in that
territory. It is understood that ho laid
before the President the Mormon side
f the question, one point of which is
the admission of that Territory as a
State into the TJnnlon, with a provision
ia its constitution prohibiting poligamy
hereafter,-but allowing existing rela
tions to remain, so as to legitimatize the
children of Mormons. It ia stated that
the President did not commit himself
to any particular line of policy on this
proposition. He will probably leave

Old Settlers. The old settlers
about here seem to, think, that the east

their especial benefit was badly man
aged in some way. It was like bold.
ing out something good for a person to
grab at, and just as the good thing was
about to be seized, it was pulled away,
After arrangements were made no time
waa gireajfor persons to 'get readv for
the trip. Certificates were sent down
here which would entitle the holders to
tickets, only about four or five days be
fore the excursion was to start, so that
when the announcement waa made in
the News persons had to drop every
thing and run for dear life to catch the
train. Few, people were prepared to
go east for a month on one or two days'
notice. People sooth and west of this
had no show at all. No instructions
were sent with the certificates to amount
to anything. In fact the management
of the whole thing looked as though
the fewer that went the better the get
ters-up would be pleased. Several per
sons have been in our office this week,
and others sent Id, to get certificates,
and were much disappointed when they
were told that the time had pasaed
that the train had left on the 22d, and
tickets were not good except on that
train. At least two weeks' notice
should have been given If the excur
sion was for the benefit of old settlers,
as it pretended to be. If it was gotten
op for a "blow for a r-elcct fewy it was
run all right.
Settlxd. Mrs. O'Leary's cow has
filled a large apace in newspaper and
telegraphic literature for aome weeks.
The responsibility of the Chicago fire
waa well nigh fastened upon the poor
"baste," when'an extra effort was made
to relievo her of the blame of that con
flagration. The indignant Mrs. O'Lcary
waa "interviewed" by, a reporter, and
she most stoutly denied that her cow
bad anything to do with starting the
flro. But alas for her reputation far
veracity a new effort has been made
to provo the cow guilty. That digni
fied body. J tho fire commissioners of
Chicago,, have been in session, and be
fore ,them it was ascertained beyond
the possibility of doubt, that the a lore
said cow did give the fatal kick. It is
but proper to atate, howoTerthaithp
fimmKii) jBOusiaaraieJT-- auowea mat
Mrs. O'Learv had "no more responsi
fadlify In the matter than what was af
forded by her ownership in the cow.
The worat feature of this investigation
is that a miserable fiddler; named Mc
Laughlin is proven to be as much to
blame as the cow. He was having a
good time at hie home,, and .wishing to
cook some oysters in the highest stylo
of the culinary art for his social friends,
he undertook' to steal the milk from
Mrs. O'leary's cow. Becoming indig
nant at this attempt to" pilfer her milk,
the cow aimed a fair blow at McLaugh
lin, which unfortunately missed him
and struck tb,e( lamp which the '.'spal
peen", had near, by, and that's, the way
the fire started. We hope this settles
the question.
There are several rather peculiar fea
tures about the existing strike In Ger
many, in which half a million work
lug men have Joined. The strike was
thoroughly arranged before any opera
tive quitted work. There were no balks
and no false starts. Tho movement
owed Its origin to no special grievances,
but is merely a strike on principle, de
signed to secure some alterations in the
system of work and wages. The whole
thng has been managed with true Ger
man deliberation, and passion has had
very little to do with it. But the most
curious thing about the whole affair is
the adroitness with which Prince Bis
marck has converted a possible revolu
tion into a pillar of the Empire. The
International Society clearly wished to
make the strike a political one, and for
a time-it 'was 'feared-that a collision
between the authority of the Govern
ment and tho obstinacy of the working
men could not be prevented. But Bis
marck has refused to Interfere with the
strikers, and whatever the Government
has dene in the matter has been in the
interest of the operatives as against the
employers. The latest advices from
Berlin are to the effect that ia addition
to the proposed legislation of which
we spoke last week, providing for a dis
tribution of excessive profits, the Gov
ernment will adopt, in its own work
shops, the hours of labor and the rates
of pay demanded by the strikers, and
thus force other employers to do the
same. As a result of this wily policy,
the workingmen, instead of. trying to
oyerturn the Government, as the fanat
ical Internationals hoped, have become
staonch supporters of the Emperor and
his nrm Mialster."'
,Hark From tux Iombs. This week
we hear a genuine but feeble voice from
the Democratic grave yard. It ia the
only sound Vw havi- heard 'from that
bourne for several weeks, which seem
ed to have in it the last degree or life
and courage. It proceeds from the pen
of the Hon. Daniel Webster Voorbies,
the great Hoosier Democratic orator
and politician. Daniel is In favor of
making one more desparate effort to re
cover from the "widespread defeat" of
the late elections. He "keenly appreci
ates the importance of an authoritative
expression of the principles which are
to guide us in the future as in the past,"
and for the purpose of obtaining this
expression Dan wants a Democratic
National conventien called at some
"central point in the West." He don't
want to wait till the time for the con
vention to meet next season. If the
matter s delayed till tjhat time he seems
to fear' that all tho Democrats will have
J pined tho Republican party. There
will hardly be enough left for delegates
in each State. Daniel sees the "impend
ing crisis,' and wants to avert ft,W pos
sible, by this convention, which he
thinks onght to meet by the 22d of Feb
ruaryv. Hmuatthi&k .the. emergency
terrible lhat he "cannot wait "till early
summer for the nominating convention
to declare the principles of the party,
Mr. V. thinks "In themaanUaienr-mean
lag the time that wonld expire between
the. two conventions "the people of
the States jean approve or disapprove of4
what lias been done.' Exactly. The
trouble i" that there has been too much
"disapproval" by the people to suit the
dembcraey, and we fear that in its pres
ent demoralised condition the proposed
convention could not do much that
would meet with the approbation of the
masses. But by all means let Dauiel
have his convention. It will serve to
stir np the bile in the Democratic stom
ach, and cannot possibly harm anybody.
If it will "enthuse" new lire in theDem
ocracy, as Daniel predicts, and give ns
something to do next summer, we
should bo pleased. We don't want it
all one way by any means. If the con
vention la held we trust the "principles"
enunciated will "guide" the Democracy
better in the future than those of the
past have. We should think that Dan
iel aud all live Democrats would- want
as little as possible of the principles that
have "guided" them in the past. "The
past" is what ails the Democratic party,
but it seems its leaders will never find
that out, a little more of such principles
and such "guiding" as the Democracy
have had in "the past," and "the jig is
np" forever.
THE XA5SAS FAK2LER.
We learn from the November num
ber that this valuable Magazine will be
issued twice a mouth after the first of
January. It will be printed on fine
tinted book paper, in, the highest style
ot typography. We are glad the far
mer has met with such succeaa as to en
able it to take this step forward. It ia
one of the very best agricultural papers
in the, country. .Every Kansau-may
Justly feel proud of it. It is a faithful
representative of the progressive spirit
of the State. It is not edited exclusive
ly with scissors, as too many of our ag
ricultural capers are. There ia much
intelligent Industry in its pages, and
about every line in it ia not onlv very
readable, but imparts some useful Infor
mation on the various subjects within
the range of a farm paper. Kansas can
boast of as good an agricultural journal
as the best of the states. The money
heretofore sent east for agricultural pa
pers should be kept at home to build up
our own Kansas Farmer. For 1872 we
can furnish The News and tho Kansas
farmer twice a month for $3.
T1IE NEW COLLECTOR AT NEW YOKE
The Chicago Post says: "General
Cheater A. Arthur Is undoubtedly, the
best person the President could have se
lected at this time. He has distinguish
ed himself as an earnest Republican, an
enthusiastic supporter of the Govern
ment, a man of the strictest honor and
integrity, and a citizen whom, all par
ties respect. Several times since the
inauguration of Gen. Grant, Gen. Ar
thnr has been recommended by his frieds
to honorable and responsible places.
He was widely talked of for Sub-Trcas
urer at the time Judge Folgor succeed
ed Gen. Butterfield, and again when
Mr. Hillhouae went in. This he an
nounced he could not accept,even though
it was offered. The new Collector is
very active among the business men of
New York he is prominent as Secre
tary of the Third Avenue Railroad
Company, but has no interest that can
possibly conflict with the duties of hia
office." Had such existed, he never
would have accepted the place. Gen
Arthur is the author of the bill which
passed Cougrcss in 1870, providing for
the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, and for tho suppression of re
peating aud other frauds at the Con
gressional elections particularly in
New York. No man nas ever
said aught against Gen. Arthur he will
take honor and ability to the perform
ance of his duties, and will greatly
strengthen the administration every
where."
i f
HORRIBLE TALE.
Thero appears to have been consid
erable excitement over the murder of
Mr. Floyd in the buffalo regions, an ac
count of which we copied from tho
Aarkansas City TYaveler last week,
There is the usual bluster about exter
minating the Indians, etc. Prof. H. B.
Norton writes the following sensible
comments about the matter to the Vrav
eler of last week. There ought to bo a
little more of the spirit of this article
manifested toward the Indians
"The murder was probably commit
ted either by a scouting party of tho
Big Hill Osages, or by the Cheyennes
Decapitation is the usage sign ot satis
fled revenge but it Ik also used by the
Cheyennes, and might be the means of
concealment adopted by whites seeking
to throw the blame upon the Indians,
The fact that the wagon had been hauled
off by oxen was singular, complicating
the problem.
The probability is that the murder
was committed by Indians. However,
there is no good reason for the horrible
talk or extermination which is so com
mon. Twenty murders have probably
boen committed durinsr the past year by
whites on this trail between Wichita
and the Red River, without exciting
half the comment which this case has
elicited.
It should be borne in mind that white
buffalo hunters are trespassers upon the
Indian lands, regarded by them much
as we look upon cattle thieves. An un
precedented number or whites have
been out on the plains this fall, driving
the buffalo far to the west, and ex
cecdinely wasteful of them in the!
style of hunting-, and this has stirred
up much anger among the Indians.
It should also be borne in mind that
as great difference exists in the charac
ter of Indians as among whites. The
great mass of Indians are no more re
sponsible for the acts of a few than we
are for deeds of a Uuimby or Aisan-
cott."
INSURANCE.
We have read many articles upon the
subject of insurance, says the Atchison
Champion, and we have had a practical
experience in losses by fire and the
subsequent adjustment of these losses
by the insurance companies. We were
paid all that was due us, and have no
risrht to complain on that score. But
the striking difference between the
bland and persuasive air and manner of
the agents who solicited the policies,
and the aurly, ungentlemanly, insulting
and impertinent style of tho adjusters
who camo to look after the losses, was
most astounding, and to ns will always
be an unpleasant recollection of the in
surance business. The following arti
cle which we take from the SL Louis
Democrat, shows that those insured,
even in the oldest and best companies,
have experienced this same insufferable
treatment. And we are inclined to be
lieve, from all we have heard of the
adjustment' of insurance losses, that
this experience is a general one, and
that the insurance adjuster ia generally
an ill-mannered, insulting ignoramus
and ruffian. There are, of course, ex
ceptions to this very general rule. We
found two Mr. I. S. Blaekwilder, then
of the Home, of New Haven now, we
believe, employed in the same capacity
by the Continental, of Philadelphia;
and Mr John II. Brown, of Leaven
worthrthen workicg for the North
America, of Philadelphia, and the Hart
ford. But contact with any of the oth
er adjusters, with whom we had any
dealings was sure to result in some in
sult or outrage, on their part, that made
it impossible for ns to deal with them
without anger and indignation. The
Democrat thus speaks of the general
method of insurance adjustment, and
it apeaks frankly, truly and wisely i
"But the Chicaflro fire has also demon
strated that even the best and oldest
insurance companies aro capable of bad 1
faith in the settlement of claim. .Thv
advertise that they "will pay the last
dollar of their losses;" but they neglect
iw insert ine reservation "after adjust
ment by an experienced shaver Th
"adjuster" is a man presumed to be a
sort of admirable Crichton in all mat
ters Of Value, and to know the nrwiao
productive cost of everything from a
needle to an anchor. Instead of this
he is, In a majority of cases, a diamond- j
pinned ignoramus in whom impudence
serves lor knowledge, and who acts up
on the mistaken belief that by cheating
the public he serves his masters. You
insure a stock of goods for, say $10,000, j
and pay the premium on that sum for
wa successive years- perhaps. To this
you are annually incited by the gentle
manly conduct of that amiable solicitor,
who approaches you, hat in band, as the
time for renewal arrives, and would be
pleased to receive your continued pa
tronage. Yon are then a distinguished
customer whom to serve is exceeding
oy. How quickly a fire transmutes the
characters in this interesting drama I
In place of the gentlemanlv soliritnr
comes the stern and unyielding adjust
er ana you, no longer a distinguished
stranger, are resolved into a poor re
lation a pensioner upon the bounty of
your former servants. In vain you
produce your policies and your cata
logue of losses to lustify their payment.
The adjuster knows better he has been
in your kind of business himself; he
knows that your goods were not worth
$10,000, nor even $5,000: yet to avoid
delay an trouble he will settle with
you on ba6ia of the latter figures.
That or nothing, for his word is law,
and you see from the ponderosity of his
watch-guard, the size of his seal ring,
and the expense of his general make
up, that he Is a man not to be trifled
with. You take the money, which is,
in a certain sense, bo much clear gain,
and you go home with shattered faith
in human promises. Now, this is not
"paying every dollar of its losses" on
the part of an insurance company. The
"adjuster" comes in at the wrong end
of the bargain. It U extremely bad
faith far a company to accept the pre
mium on a $10,000 valuation and after
wards resolve it into a $5,000 loss. It
should satisfy ltselt that the valuation
is a fair one when the premium is paid,
and then, if the fire makes a total
wreck, the settlement should be full and
complete. Between "paying every dol
Iar7 of a loss after the adjuster s gouge
ot nity cents on the dollar on the ong
inal policy, the moral difference is it
favor of the latter.
"In brief: The insurance interests of
this country are so vitally connected
with its business prosperity that the
fairest and most honorable dealing be
tween the two parties to the contract
is an absolute necessity. The law of
self-preBervation should operate, as it
effects the people, in favor of the pa
tronage of the oldest and best corpora.
lions, and as it affects the companies it
should compel safo and equitable rates
and a ligitimate profit on the invest
ment, liat good faith must be pre
served or confidence will soon be lost.
There are few who would not prefer to
pay 3 per cent, for the certainty of a
full settlement rather than half the rato
with the probability of an "adjustment
that wonld reduce the claim one-half.
The public is ready to deal fairly with
tho companies, but the companies must
prepare to reciprocate, ana pledge
themselves to lair dealing with the put
lie."

their attention to providing seed for
the spring, and a circular will soon .be
issued on this point. In traveling over
the blackened wilderness, Captain Long
worthy gathered many interesting ac
counts of the great tornado, and the
people who are left to tell the dreadul
tale of that terrible night of the eighth,
It was believed that the seventh seal
was opened and the contents of wrath
were being scattered overthe fatherland.
An idea of the great heat may be imag
ined from the fact that in a potato field
at Williamsville, where fifty-nine dead
bodies were found, the potatoes were all
roasted near the surface ot the ground,
and some six inches under the ground
they were partially roasted. The re
mains of domestic animals of all kinds,
and deer, wolves and bears aro scatter
ed over the district, but the indomitable
energy that pervades the people of Chi
cago is seen here and at Peshtigo. Fifty
houses have already been erected, and
with the assistance they will have dur
ing the winter, they will be in compar
atively good shape to commence the
spring business.
Up on the Northern Pacific railroad
the thermometer has been down to 23
and 36 degrees below eero. Trains
were stopped by the drifting snow, and
telegraph wires were broken by the
frost.
Up to Tuesday tho Chicago relief
and aid society had received from forty
states and Territories, $2,508,000 in
cash.
On Tuesday evening, Treasurer
Spinner sent to various parts of the
country checks for $8,000,000 in coin to
parties who had sent their 5-20 bonds
for redemption.
The commune prisoners, Rossel,
Ferre and Bourjoise, were shot in Paris
on Tuesday. The behavior of the three
men was most courageous. 1'erre re
fused to be blindfolded. Wo doubt if
the French government is raising itseifl
much in tho estimation of civilized peo
pie by these sort of exhibitions.
STATE TE3LPEKA5CE COJYESTIOJT.
The Kansas State Convention met in
Salina November 14th. at 7 o'clock a. m
The president being absent, Mr. Jacob
ue ty ut, or baiina, was chosen tempo
rary chairman.
On motion a committee on credentials
and another on permanent organization
were appointed.
Addresses were then made by P. T,
Khoaes, jaiott, li. w. liars, J
Boynton, Cary, and W. S. Lowe.
The evening was pleasantly spent and
it was apparent that earnest work was
the object of the convention.
Tbe convention again assembled at
9 30 next morning. After hearing and
adopting the report on credentials, the
following report on permanent organi
zation was read ana adopted, viz i'res
ident, Geo. S. Everetts, of Topeka:
Vice Presidents, wm. A. Philips, of
Balina, Dr. J. J. Wright, of Emporia,
S. D. Underwood, of Junction City,
T. Dwight Thatcher, of Lawrence,
J ndge .Brewer, of Leavenworth, J. B,
Campbell, of Fort Scott, and A. J
Evans, of Atchison Secretary. Mr.
fJtorrow, of Topeka: Corresponding
becretary, A. J. Sloan, of balina Treas
urer, Dr. Tefl't, of Topeka Executive
Committee, l'rof. li. W. iloss. P. T,
Rhodes and J. J. Buck, of Emporia, and
II. N. Eliott and Prof. B. F. Mudy, of
iviannauen,
in selecting the officers the conven
tion had an eye to the location of a suf
ficient number near together for con
venience in consultation.
After tho organization the balance of
the session was spent iu appointing
committees, laying out the wort, aud in
general discussion as to tbe work to be
done.
The afternoon was spent in hearing
and considering reports, and in general
discussion on the oest mode of advanc
ing the cause of temperance. Durinz
the session earnest and stirring speches
were made oy ttev. mr. 1'ayne, Kev,
W. Bishop and Kev. P. T. Rhodes
During these speeches the audience
gave most earnest attention and fre
quently manifested their appreciation
by rounds of applause.
In the evening the large audience was
held spell-bound Dy an able and well
timed address from Rev. J. Boynton,
or Banna, mis aaaress was able, de
liberate and full of earnestness. The
speaker took the ground that society
was not educated up to the point where
separate political action would be like
ly to do good. lie urged temperance
men to work through the regular polit
ical organization to attend the prima
ry meetings and labor to secure the
nomination of good temperate and hon
est men for office. The address was re
ceived with marked favor by the audi
ence, and fully endorsed by the con
vention. After finishing a little minute busi
ness, the convention adjourned to meet
in Topeka on the 3rd Tuesday in Janu
ary, at 1 o'clock p. m.
A more harmonious meeting could
not have been held, and it is thoneht
that it will leave a good influence be
hind, and do much to arouse the tem
perance workers throughout the State.
The citizens of Salina deserve great
credit for the interest they took in the
proceedings, and for tbe hearty welcome
they extended to the delegates and vis
itors. Every heart and houso seemed
to be open and teams were sent to each
train to convey the 'delegates to the
place of meeting. Salina is one of our
most enterprising western cities, and is
situated in one of the finest counties of
our noble young State. The work the
convention Is aiming to do, and the po
sition taken in the great temperance re
form, can be more readily seen from the
resolutionss adopted than any other
way. These resolutions were adopted
as the deliberate judgment of the con
vention after careful thought. Tho
more important resolutions are as fol
lows:
Wbkbeas tbe temperance reform U a-n im
portant element ef Christianity, and whereas,
the elevation to places of trust and power of
men of intemperate habits, or wbo give coun
tenance to the legalizing of dram shops, has a
tendency to demoralize society and render in
secure the civil institutions of our country,
therefore,
Jletolttd, 1. That we will suppojt no man
for otfjee whs Is sot strictly a temperance
man. i
2. That it is the duty of every voter to at
tend tbe primary meetings and use ail proper
influences to prevent tbe nomination of those
not pledged to oppeee the legalization of dram
hops.1
5. That we consider tho law that give to
cities of the first and second class the power
to license dram shops without the consent of
tbe people a great wrong, ana calculated to
demoralize our great centres of influeace.
4. That we heartily indorse the movement
of the different ehurchee and temperance or
ders to circulate petitions to be presented to the
next legislature asking that the Invidious dis
tinction between targe ettiee and the smaller
towns and the country be abolished.
6. That a committee ef three be appointed
to confer with and auist the churches and dif
ferent temperance organizations in circulating
petitions for tbe above purpose. -ComaMttee:
u. a. juuoik f u. taxapniit 4. ttejiey.
(L That by all an cans and in every fen
ol
aatociauoa woald we oonunend the work; by
secret societies and by open 'associations; that
In every way and by all mean we rejoice that
the tearperanre reform ia preached. The State
Temperance Society legalize no on way;
confines Itrclf ta no one 'field of effort; but
give hearty Ood speed to all bonet endeavors
for this end. What we want is not one society
merely, but a union of all bean in a common
determination Uiat tho liquor tratllo In tbis
&tate Khali cease.
7. That tbe keeping of a dram shop should
be regarded as a great crime against the peace
and well being of society; and that tbe law
should be so amended as to make tbe proprie
tor, and all clerks in hi employ, ami tbe prop
erty in wbicb such business is conducted, re
sponsible fur all injuries done to tbe persons
or families of taose to whom intoxicating
liquors aro sold.
The following additional resolutions
wre adopted
Resolved, 1. That it Is Indispensably neces
sary to tbe efficiency of tbe teuieranee move
ment in tbis State that as soon as possible
a temperance paper be issued as an organ of
the temperance sentiment of tbe State, and as
a means of educating the minds and reaching
tbe conscience of tho masses.
2. That in erdcr to accooDlish the otilect the
following persons, vis: Dr. Tetlt, of Topeka,
li. N. illicit, of Manbattcn, and A. C. Sloan,
of Balina, be appointed a publishing commit
tee to act ia conjunction with the exeenUva
committee of this and other temperance or
ganizations throughout the Ktate, and ask all
friends of temperance to co-operate with us is
tbe lurtberance of this end.
The executive committee is hereby In
structed to procure a State agent to devote his
time to nwuing public meetings, organizing
societies and procuring subscribers for the
paper above recommended.
4. mat we recommend tbe annolntment of
