The County Board yesterday, decided to withdraw the propositions of the Leaven worth & Southern Kansas and the Chicago, Southwestern & Pacific Kailruad Companies for the reason that these two companies have not accepted the same. The people will, therefore, have only the one simple proposition to tote upon on tlie 15th in., that of the Kansas Central Kail- road Company. This course simplifies the iasoe and rrnders the adoption of the propo sition to transfer tlie K. P. stock more cer tain. The great objection in the country to the propositions was on account of the.voting of more bonda. This olgeclioii is now removed.

U.-.VAR-KUW UAVUK. John S. Join-, Eeq., formerly of the firm of Jones & CirtHright, of this city, called upon us yesterday. Mr. Join's is now a wholesale grocer of IVnter, Col., and was the contractor for grading the first fifty miles of the D. & IJ. (i. H. IL narrow gauge. He informs us that seventy miles of the road is graded, about six miles of track from the terminus of the K. P. It. to the machine shops of the narrow g"iiige road is laid. One ictssenger and two freight loco motives, suveral passenger and freight cars had liceii received. The ties for seventy miles were all bedded. Seventy milcx of iron was on the way, which it was uxected to lay in ten days. The freight hsximoriie weigh twelve tons, the passenger locomotives weigh nine tons. The rust of grading is two-thirds, iron one-half, locomotives nne-lulf, cars oue half; which upon :iu average makes the total cost of building and quiping tlie road, about one-half tliat of a broad gauge. The people there arc all entliUHartic over the narrow gauge, and entertain no doulit of its ultimate success. Mr. Jones think the Kansas Central will be the bigger Using for Ieavenworth, and will tend to make it the largest city on tlie Missouri river, lie also thinks it will com pel the building of nirruw gauge roads from Chicsgo and St. Iii- to Leavenworth, thus making our city the initial point of this sy.s tem of roads in the V'i-t. We were glad to meet Mr. Jinn's. He will frend a few days with U".

BtaHTSB S HAM. Our Democratic crtenlporary in aa edi torial on the cky iaancei, calk invocation the DeaMcracy of ear worthy Mayor thaa:; "It i all vesswelLinixleaMitioB of a urty poona ." policy which of it own fraUtjr tall to the proportion, could be lo m the Treamrer. who ha e ? .i ,4nothiri to do with U. II Ihc Mayor ap proved it, then we thwK aw cdocation aa a Democrat was sadly dencitnt, because the question of sosnd awanekl policy is the question which aeddea foreacceai ordefelt in the tfiun uf all snteiptiaw and govern ments, ajl a sound finaralbaisia the feat plank in the Democratic platform, and has always been." The occasion of thk attack upon the po litical character of the Mayor is a recont niendalion by him to the Council of an is sue of city scrip to circulate a money. This, according to the CummertiaL, u anti-Demo-cratir, a,nd pnives that the Mayor has not profited by his early Democratic training. We do not know that we are called ujion to defend either the Democracy or the policy of Mayor Halderwan. In these days of de partures, iialdcruutu, or any other man, might become bewildered as to what Democ racy is, and notwithstanding our unconquer able modesty, we venture the remark that Leavenworth might have had a better Mayor. Bur is it anti-Democratic to proposejhat the city government shall issose paper money 7 Ptt-dlrtou. a hhining light of the party, and a prominent candidate lor the Democratic nomination for the Presidency, is a paper money iiian, Under his lead nearly every DetnocraticnewjMperand Democratic ora tor in the land (our cotemporary and Judge Halderman being among the number) sol emnly declared in favor of an unlim ited issue of toper money by the general government. The liard money doctrine' .of Old Hickory resembles the green-hack the ory of Pendleton about as much as the De mocracy of Jefl. Davis, wlio accepts nothing, is like that of the .New Departure Demo crats, who are erfectly willing to accept anything, even to the Ffteenth Amendment and universal sufirage. A Democratic edu cation is worth nothing to a man unless be has a Democratic conscience. An old fash ioned Democrat; a hard money Democrat, a Union-loving Democrat would feel some what out of place in the company of Pendle ton and Tombs. Neither do wc think he would find congenial companionship with Halderman, We are willing to vouch that the Democracy of Mayor Halderman is quite as sound as that of the Omtmercial. lie may be ready lor a New Departure, and so is tlie Gmmereial, but both of them had better heed the advice of Andv John son, and never deiart too much. The proposed issue of scrip seems to us no wor-e than the present system. If properly guarded and limited it might give tempor ary relief. In St. Louis and Kansas City scrip in the form of circulating bilLs has been successful and following the example of those cities the Mayor and Council at tempted to apply a remedy to the financial trouble of Leavenworth. Its success or failure would greatly depend upon public confidence. We are convinced that no of lence was intended to the Democratic party and we are exceedingly sorry that Mayor , Halderman has by his advocacy of the mea sure, h-t in any degree the good will of his Democratic brethren.

ThcCounty of lfleiiorili will profit in the same ratio with the ily. With the op ulalion of the city doubled the value of lands in the county are doubled. The County ol Jeffervon will by the construction of this mad be benefitted . in a greater degree than by any other projected road. The road runs thriMigh the county and will only chtnge its route as donations may influence. Tlie County of Jackson is more interested than Jeflerson because unless the aid is voted the road way take a Miuthwestern direction. Liberal aid is ofiVr.d in the latter direction, but the K. C. prefers to go directly west, ami hence the Company have proposed to build the road through Jackson County on the most liberal terms. This county is one of the Ui-t in the State, with a basis of taxation ol about $2,000,000 There are also large Indian reserves on the north and south that .will be taxable in an other year, adding $500,000 to the taxable property of that county. Only $160,000 of bond i asked of them for forty miles of toad running straight through the county with a branch from Holtoo northward, No county has ever had so good an ofier. They obtain greater railroad facilities for km money than any county in the State. The talk of increased taxation is of no consequence, for the revenue from taxes collected on the. nilniid will pay the interest on the bunds. 1 1" mile f the road k built in Jackson Oiinty, all..inclii.ling the branch northward to Xctawaka will lie, as well as tbebr-inch down Cross Creek to St. Marys Mksiou and to the southwest. The Depositing of the bonds with a Trustee to be delivered only umui tlie fulDIIoient of the contract and the completion of the nnd makes the county secure. There k also a probability that the Stale may assume the ay menUi of the bonds given for railroad purioe. Of course the Kansas Central Road will be governed in the location of the paid to a great extent by the liberality of the 'people along the line, and the people or the section failing lo secure the location of the road where it will enhance the value of their property, will have to wail a long time he- fore they can secure tne advantage afforded by tlie Kaunas Central Koad.

We read with some xurprise the Cummer ciaTt article of Sunday morning on thk sub ject. Did we not know that the editor was a new comer to our city, we would think him an interested party. As it is, we fear he ob tains his inform it ion trom tho-e who do not care lor the intercMs of the ty. The CuMMcrcial r.iv.j: "The quction is not nlmut what the City Trea-urer promi-ed or refu-ed to do. So far as he is concerned, he has given a lund which has lieen approved by the Council, :indiays over to the city all money he receives for interest on the city desvils, and that is alt the Coancil can reiiuire him to do. Konner J Council did no! attempt to interfere with the City Treasurer, exevt lo tw that tlie iiilereHt upon the citv funds was ciid over to the city." We siipMHed that was jut the question. The Comniilli-e, Ciiy Council and Mayor with the aihice and consent of the City Treasurer adopted a financial o!icy, which, for Mime unexplained cause, the Treasurer now refuses to aid in carrying out. The assertion that all the Treasurer ha to do, is to "pay over all the interest he receives on city dexiu" is simply absurd. By the terms of the charter ami ordinances he is under the control of the Mayor and Council. Former VunciLs Anre uinterfered" and the present Treasurer is now acting under in structions from the committee and Council. They now de-ire to change the place of de jiosit which the Treasurer agreed to do, but without giving a reason, changes his mind and declines to do to. The Treasurer says if they will release hk bond he will change the deposit as requested. As though this was in reality the onJy ob stacle. Is it not plain that it is a taaat ex cue, particularly when other good men have offered to become security for him,aridthebank where theCouocil desires tne Treasurer to de posit the city funds have offered to place in the hands of the City Treasurer city bond equal to the amouut of the city's tlepntita. Is not the ScaftrwlNatiottal- Bank nortent beyond question? Does not the City Treas urer know it? Mr hen he quibbled abrut tlie change, demanding to have hk luiiiikiiiiii released, when the committee acceeded to his every demand, and when, finally, helatly refused to do as-he had agreed, k it not plain lliat be wsAahystering with the con .mittee? That he was trifling, not only with the committee Council and Mayor, but with the financial olicy adopted by them; a policy that it was hoped, would relieve the city front tlie ruinous hxs it now sustains in consequence of the discount upon it scrip. The question raised by the Cbamerctoi in its article August 4th, k in these words: "The Committee on Way and Means of the City Coancil and the City Treasurer have locked horns." On the 6th the Conmtrciul Karr "The Tiiikm article on city finances, yes terday morning, mainly disaisses tlie ques tion of a city depository, and doe not throw any clear light on the matter at issue. The question is not aliout what the City Treasurer promised or refused to do." Well, if thk locking of horns, as the Cbnt mereulsays, wasn't about 'r "filj TVni tory," we will confess we cnVt nnrhewtbe parties " locked horns." So far "a weaavw heard, thk k the only questiou of difterenee between the Council and the Treasurer. The Commercial raises a b)rge number of outside issues which we are ready to discuss. We will answer a few of its quest ions. The Commercial asks: "Why should the city wish orhecome in a condition to be compelled to borrow money?" We can't see why. Can you see why? It k, however, a fact ihat it lo been in that "condition " since it was organized. Again ataaka: "And if the city, as The Tmes cava, k running in debt, whose fault is it? We daira that it k U.e fault of the Council aa weU as the Mayor, and even more an of 'the former than the latter; and every Coancil aaan is to blame. j, i accordanc; with hk influence aad laielligeaee." Wa agree with yea ape ifc oneatian, z- Eeaaember I pt that the Mayor as an execad ve ofioer, if he ha the ability, brain and a policy, can generally control. Again kaaya: "It ahonJd not he Seoaa that thk or that arliainktTmtion hould ha blaantd, and the leaduw conncilman who votes aa make then debt, pan unman by the public; bet the Mayor is oulnable for not ntfrarxkw Ifae - ji ,f .... . . vowncu on tne nroraaoaa or tne cnarter, and the eondkion of the ananeaiof thecky." We will not blame Oat or Hat adminktra tirtn, rmt wn dn Mime Dinnnf nlk ailmiiik tration which for the kat nix Vnua has had control and now ha control of the dry. Aa to the "leading conndlnmn, who vote lo make them debt." Who k he? Aa for oarself, we hare voted against nearly all of the various job put up for the humfli of tadividnak and kcalitiea, and have votad against nearly every ordinance appropriat ing money. We think the Mayor " instruct " enough. Again it says: "But if the serin ha doubled the paw. year, and there k fifty thousand dollar out, and it k worth therefore only seventy cents, it k the fault of the Mayor and the Council men, who voted to make these debts, man of them useless and for electioneering par poses. Thk thing of a councilman cloaking in u cniuuuB ucuiuu MJmciAKJj m Mrfllll9 tration is too often the case now, a it has al ways been in our city. And we claim the low price of scrip is because of an over iasn and a reckless management of the officer of the dty, and the Treasurer hat nothing to do with it, and nothing he can do will effect it. All be ha a right to do k to keen th Airut. ui we ciiy, jcvicq ana collected for the various purposes, in a position to be paid oat when due, and only for the purposes for which th w (jsxImI Jostso,.itkthetr4aulL, We don't-know of any debt made solely for .'Wteetioneering purposes" since tbe appohMaient of three hundred special poHccmfen r'Baldernutn's predecessor, "which'costjije' city about one thousand dqllarr. . ..

Do "yoa think you .can get up another fight so as to draw attention from the question under dis cussion?" We think not. We agree with, you that "the low price of scrip k because of an over issue, and reckleM management of iheoujcersof thectty," but we think the Treasurer has soiaetbing to do. "He can live up to hk word.-He can work in har-' mony with the Mayor and the City Coancil, and when they adopt a. financial policy, be can aid in the carrying out of that policy. It k hk duty to do so, particularly when he was consulted befbre;that policy was adopted. The question as to whether that policy k right or wrong, good or bad, k not for the Treasurer to decide. Neither k it for the Commercial That doty devolve, upon the Mayor and Coundl. We do not deny the right tocritidsm, bat we do deny the right to dictate to the Coundl. The question of issuing scrip was derid ed upon by th'e Mayor and Coundl, and was ravoreiibythe City Attorney, Clerk, and Treasurer, indeed, no far as we have heard, no oae was opposed to ii. The Caanacrdar statements about the plan of issuing tlie scrip, the object and pur pose ot it, are entirely different from that in tended by the Council. As to the merits or demerits of the policy proposed by the Committee of Ways and Meana, and adopted by the Coundl, we would say that it k useless lo discuss thai question now. For unless tlie Treasurer complies with the rraolutiou of the Coundl and changes the deposits, that policy falls. It cannot be carried out without the co-operation of the Treasurer, If the Treasurer; remains stubborn, and continues to refuse to do as he agreed, all Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means will ask, will be lo be relieved from any share in the responsibility of the finan ckl management of the dty. It mu-4 Iv plain that when the policy of the Committee of Ways anil Means is not carried out, they ought not lo be held, responsible. Will the Cmmarial remember this? The difficulty is not tettled. Scrip is worth only seventy cents. The dty k paying fifty ierreiit more fur everything it purchase than it ought. The same trouble has existed to a greater or less extent since 1864. The Committee on Ways and Means and the Council propose a remedy. They claim that their policy carried out will place the city upon abound financial bask. -The Qmmereutl and it Treasurer says no! thk k not right. It shall not be tried. They4 tear down, but are not wise enough to mark out a policy, and if tliey were, they do not happen to be the law making power. We dose thk article with the full belief tliat the Treasurer k doing not his duty; that he is not looking out for the best in tererests of the dty. Wc are compelled, from the facts before us, to believe that he k acting under the influence of those who ad vise him favorable- to individual interests instead of the public good. We regret to say thk much, and regret it he mure because hose famillkr with all the facts in the case concur with? us in our bc lief. of taw c of the election.

It k a notorious fact that the broad gauge roads have thus far all proved failures. The Erie road k now the priadpsj broad gauge in America of any importance. It k a well known met that while thk road ran through Southern New York, and has the trade of nearly one-half of that most densely settled State, added to its through trade, yet Erie hat never been a paying road. Its stock hrn been down as low aa six cents, and seldom if ever higher than thirty or forty rant The road has never, we believe, paid a dividend.

The dead weight eat an a'.l tbdr profits. It k ranch larger than in a four feet ejght and a half kieb-it least one quarter larger.

New York, Aug. 2, 1871. DeakSik: Your letter of the 22d July ulto., asking my views of the political situ ation k received. r I think it a good feature in the British Constitution that Cabinet Ministers take place in the legislature bodies, and defend their measure and policy; a vote ol no confi dence changes the Cabinet, and the will of the nation k carried out at once. It is a great misfortune that a heiulstroiig President may Keep tne nation in a wrong policy tor four years. Another great gain would lie that patriotic criticism of the Cabinet policy would not necessarily be constniedn inimical to the President or the party in power Isit a change in the Cabinet would merely put in new men of the same party, or moderate men in part of tlie other arty all ol which would inure to the public weal and soften the force of faction, which in all ages has neen one cause ol me ruin ol nations. The Confederate States profitted by our fatal exrience, and made a single presiden tial term the Constitutional law. Our Con stitution should be changed, making tlie Presidential term six years, and the Presi dent ineligible. Thk would give the Presi dent suffident lime to mature and carry out any policy, and take away the motive for abuse of power, and for the general corriii tion which conies of canvassing for re-elec-tion. Thk seems to be the greatest present evil in our system; and as we cannot at once engraft the change in the Constitution, lam ror riKwiry eniurringiiie policy hy electing no President a second term. Another great evil, which has lieen com mon to most nations, and minotw to nearly all, is the putting military men into civil of fices. Neither you nor I can make a shoe withoat a long service at tlie tmlc; lsit statesmanship is more difficult than shoe nuking. And military men are taken up, not only without any experience in politics, batjoeceanrily with qualities and election ad vene to all true statesmanship. It would be just aa wise, on the day of battle, to put civil nans ai ine newu ot ine armies, 10 me exclu sion of military leaders, as to it military men intodvil places. The rewards and honor ol each profession belong to that profession only. There k no more reason for rewarding the patriotic ser vices or a great general with the Presidency, or any other cavil office, then there is for rewarding a great preacher, Doctor, or as tronomer. The whole idea k a relic uf the barbarous ages, and a blind devotion to brute force, unworthy of our times. Let the "military ring" retire into the sphere where they can'be useful; and let statesmen undertake to do the statesmanship of the IDUC.

Cedar Vale is :i new town where thefir-t iousoJs tr tud lul.tia ry last, and k located at thejnnetion of Ce dar and Big Cane river, a little somhwet-t " the centre of the county, six miles from the State linr.

Mr. llaini thinks a good wagon ma ker would find a desirable opening there. Tlie valley of the Big Cane U about seven miles wide, and one of tlie mo-t fertile and beautiful in the State. A coal vein five feet in thickness has Iicrn opened on the farm of Capt Dave Corsaiit (formerly of this city) three miles below the town, from which ample supplies are drawn by the blacksmith and other consumers in Howard and adjoin ing counties. Corsaut has one of the bet claims in that section, with forty acres under cultivation. The jieople of Cedar Vale are erecting a building for a town liall 0x50 feet, and two stories high. There is plenty of vacant land in Howard county, although settlers are arriving hy scores. Mr. Cainl informs us that he can count, from a hill top near tho town, 180 new cabins. Cedar Vale is 'growing rapidly, and with so fertile and desirable an extent of country to feed it, will kooii become a prominent point. The settlers who arc taking up the land in Howard are of an excellent clans industrious and enterprising just tne men to build up a new country. SKDICAL. iiialHPP CLOTMDICi.
