THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1870.
XOrhO FAK OFF.
In the recent election and its preliminary
proceedings we found out what it was to
have a new element in politics. It has not
jet " transpired," as the word goes,
whether we-used them or they u-ed u, tlie
rrnin apparent fact King that we were all
beaten together, and the philaiithropical
view to take of the matter revolving itr-elf
into a general content, and a feeling that it
was well that it was no worse. It seem
more than probable that another experience
is at hand, and not so very far off. Of
course we mean the ue of the ballot
by otir wives and sweethearts. How
will it effect the jioliticians and
the men "inside politics?" Now we
have in every Ward certain men, on both
sides, wlio attend the primaries, get up the
tickets and print them, buy the saloon, get
out the voter, and .stand at the poll--. The
colored voters have taken to these things
easily and naturally, and hereafter we shall
see that the Democrat.-, will not lack a sprink
ling of them when a caucus in called. That
is a fact accomplished. And now comes the
era of pretty girl ami decided
wives, and mothers. Who are to be
the leaders? Who will be first at
the caucus and last at the counting of votes?
In the First Ward we think we do not err
in saying that the accomplished and licaiiti
ful Miss X. will be the coining woman. She
will be the erson whom politicians will
have to ".see," conciliate, sue, court and
plead with.
And in the Second Ward it is already as
well a.-, 'fixed" that the well known Mrs.
K. will have entire charge of the -tolitical
field. There are more women voters in the
Second than in any other Wan! in the city,
and that Ward will demand an increased
delegation, and probably a State
Senator. This will beat .Mr.
K., and unless, by death or divorce, the
present Mrs. K. becomes hh Mrs. K., and,
even in that event, the lady may in-ist uton
" rotation " in office.
The Third Ward is ail full of lady poli
ticians. We live over there, and know what
we are talking alxiut. There is Mrs. W.,
who often tells u that if -he an fof office,
she would not always !e beaten. Well, we
have no objection to having her pay saloon
bills for a year or two. Aftvrtliat she may
change her mind.
In the Fourth Wanl vc think it will be a
German. Intact Creighton ha-told us mi.
Her name will he announced in a few days.
Her politics are ju-t right for the Fourth
Ward being Democratic, with decided
Republican proclivities. She can beat Tom.
Feiilou, and will give Gillett a strong fight
uulesa he sieedily announce-, him-clf in fa
vor of Woman Suffrage.
In the Townships we alo have full infor
mation, but must reserve our article for an
other day. We can only say here that the
member of the Legislature who wants to !
Governor must, on the first day of the Ses
sion, re-introduce the necessary Contitu
tional Amendment.

What are the interests of Leavenworth and
of Kansa ? Are they promoted by person

signed "Hefty" seems to us an assa.siin-Iike
stab. It does not represent the views of our
-people or the Republican party, and that is
probably the reason why it is published
Anonymously. A nun of courage never hes-jtate-i
to give his name and take the respon

not the cbooMiig of a Senator, but she mav
place her-self in harmony with the rest of
the State and be in such a position as to act
prudently and for the best interests of all.

TiiE railroad system of our country,

to be lowered, steel replaces iron, tracks will
be quadrupled, through trains will run at a

expend, will be reduced to the lowest, and
she earnings pushed to "the highest figure; it
will be known to a cent for how much a

WHAT THE KTATE I WRTH.
t
The Topeka Commonvxalth publishes a
tabular statement of the taxable property of
the State as per ab-tracts of County Clerk
and as determined by the State Board. It
will be interesting to compare some of these
figures with tho-e of the U. S. Census takers,
as they have already been published.
The aggregate value of the land is put
down at $40,700,738.59, as fixed by the
Clerks. The Slate Board increase this sum j
to $18,783,905.75. The value of an acre of
land is fixed for Wyandotte County at $14.55;
for Leavenworth at $12.36; Douglas, $10.56;
Doniphan, SS.I4; Jefferson, $6.63 and sol
on down to. $2. 70 for Ellsworth.
The State Board place the value of all
property in the State at $92,528,099.83.
The total tax lew is SS09.620.80. The
number of acres in each county is given lie- J

portion of -that amount to be taken out of" the

interest thereof; to swell the incomes of non

that would apply with equal force to these
parts in this State and County. If the case .
were reversed in this county so that the eo- J
nle. instead of the capitalists, were the tax-
masters, we have no doubt that the latter
would make no delav in availing themselves
of the benefit of those decisions to relieve
themselves tram tne tiurtnem.

POSITION OP THE GALVESTOH
BOAD
A (JiirstloH of Veracity Bctwefii Messrs
Kos aad Clarke,
Let the BUI be Prod Heed with the Yte
on it iu the Senate.
A few days ago we published the following
letter from Senator Kos:
Lawuesoe, Ks., Nov. 28, 1870.
Hon. Tiio-. P. Fkxlox, Leavenworth, Kansas.
DeauSir: Yours of yesterday just re
ceived. I know of,no legislation pending in
Congress to relieve the L. L. & G. R. R. Co.,
from building from Lawrence to Leaven
worth, or of any action having been inaugu
rated anywhere for that purpose. The only
measures now pending before the Senate
affecting that road are three seperate bills
introduced by myself one to extend the
road fiom the Kansas State line to Galves
ton, one jermittiiig the company to re-locate
its road across the counties of Neosho and
Labette and the amended Osage Treaty.
This last ositively requires that company
to build and operate its line to Fort Leaven
worth, and is as agreed upon between Mr.
Morehead and myself? I shall consent nn
der no circumstances to relieve the company
from constructing its line from Lawrence to
Leavenworth, or at least from operating a
continuous through line from Fort Ix-aven-worth
to the south line of the Stare.
Verv tnilv votirs,
E.G.ROS.
Mr. Fenlon U a meinler elect of the Leg
islature from this city, and a prominent
leader in the Democratic jiarty. Messrs.
Ross and Clarke are candidites for the Sen
ate, and we prtseme either of them would be
glad of the vote and influence of Mr. Fenlon
and his Democratic friend", as well as the
re-t of the delegation from this county.
The following correspondence places either
Mr. Ross or Mr. Clarke in an unhappy po
sition. Leaven woiiTii, Nov. 26, 1870.
Hon. Sidney Clarle, Lawrence, Ks:
Dear Sin: There seems to be some
difference of opinion as to the question of
what action, if any, has been liad in Con
gress with reference to the Leavenworth,
Law rence it dive-ton Railroad, a question
in which our cit. is deeply interested.
Will you plea-e inform ine whether there is
anv bill now pending in Congress, the eflect
of which would be to relieve that Company
from constructing it- raid from Lawrence to
Fort Leavenworth, or which would enable it
to procure the title to any land, nal pro
vided for by act or March 3d, 1S63, before
the completion of the road to Fori Leaven
worth. Our people are anxious to know the
exact status so tiiat they may act intelligent
ly on the subject. A reply by return mail
will much nblii-c,
I'esjiectfiilly Ac.,
Thomas P. Fenlon.
Lawkence, Nov. 2S, 1870.
My Dear Sir: Your letter of the 26th
ins., requesting me to inform you "whether
there is any bill now pending in Congress,
the eflect of which would be to relieve the
Leavenworth, I-avtrence & Galveston Rail
road Coiii-iany from constructing its road
from I-iwreiuV to Fort Leavenworth, or
which would enable it to procure the title to
any lands not provided for by the act of
March 3d, 1S03. before the completion of
the road to Fort Leavenworth," has lieen re
vived, anil I hasten to reply.
At the last session of Cougress a bill
amending the act of March 3, 1863, passed
the Senate, and is now (tending in the House.
The effect of this bill, as it passed the Sen
ate, is to relieve the Leavenworth, Lawrence
t Galveston Company from its obligation to
construct its road from Fort Leavenworth to
Lawience, as it alro relieves the Atchison.
Tocka & Santa Fe Company from building
their road from Atchison to Topeki. The
bill likewise re-teals that part of the act of
March 3, lS6o, limiting the time for the con
struction of both of the above named roads,
anil enables these companies to obtain full
title to the indemnity lands between the ten
and twenty mile limits, as fast as each con
secutive Mx-tion of twenty miles is completed.
Allow me to express the hojie that I niaj
have your active co-operation, and that of
the citizens of Leavenworth, in defeating the,
passage in the House of a measure so utterly
destructive to the material interests of not
only your city, but of a large portion of this
State."
On my arrival at Washington I will nd
you a copy of the bill as it passed the Senate.
With great respect, I am, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
Sidney Clarke.
Hon. Titos, p. Fenlon.
What is wanted now is that Senate bill,
and the vote of the Senators ujion it. Sen
ator I'omeroy voted for a similar bill, but
our impresrio- in regard to its nature is the
same as that of Mr. Ross. The question is
very important, and can easily lie settled bv
an appeal to the records of the Senate.
THE INDIAN QUESTION.
Corre?ionilfnee Leavemrorth Times.
Cottonwood Falls, Kan., Nov. 24.
1 enclose an article from the Austin
(Texas) Journal, with a letter from Indian
Agent Tatnm, at Fort Sill. Friend Tatum
hit.- th nail on the head exactly: "When
they would go on the war-path, the Govern
ment would give them a large amount ol
goods when .they would quit " The Indi
ans have repeatedly told me that in order
to get a large supply of goods, they had to
go on the war path.'' In other words, our
Government is dealing in women and chil
dren, and paying a set of sivages for scalp
ing white men. I had a talk with Tourin
Tatum at his office at Fort Sill- on the 30th
i of last June. He aid: "The Indians are
not a- William l'enu found them in Penn-
.eylvauia: thev have learned all the vices of
J the whites, without the restrainiug influences
ol civilization." "thev are like spoilt chil-
dreu, and must be whipped before anything
can be done with thenn"
Tatum is a Quaker of the --triciest sect
honest .and straightforward in all
his business transactions; but I knew
j he " was doomed. Such honest sentiments as
. the above, would not be tolerated in an Indian
' Ygeftt, and latum lia.- been miormeu that
his resignation would be acceptable, and
