Dear Si R : After a cursory examination for data, embracing the subject of my proposed lecture, I find the field Is too large to be occu pied, at least by myself wholly. To under- take a condensation of the hlstoryof the "rise progrsssand downfall of our early Kansas cities" is more than I propose to Impose up on myself. The subject is prolific with in terest, and should by all means be thoroughly eanvaosed. I shall confine myself to the early organized and settled counties South of the'Kansas River, and urge upon you that the subject may be taken op by some one .'ortu of the Kaw. Some one at Leaven worth, Wyandott. Atchison or Oskalootsa, should volunteer. I am the more anxious about the matter because Its importance has fcscome to me more apparent from my ex amination thus far. Respectfully, J. K. Goodis.

Anthony against Ken h eon ti Dji Ve, for libel, in printing the i -cular known as the 'infamous handbill," was on trial in the di-i'ict voun of this county for . several days dur'iig the past week, anJ was concluded yesterday when the jury brought in a verdict againt the defendants, ase:ng nominal damages. It was shown by the evidence, to the i-aliac- tion of the jury, that the charges were fale and lilielou, but the defendants claimed tliat they did the printing through igno rance of their responsibiliij ; 1 ence the jury thought that the p.yme'it of the co-Is ni the ca probably a little over five hundred iolla--, Itd-ides at torney's fees would be Miflic'eul punisU ment for their sha'e in Ihe crime. Hiring the trial, several parlies were put on the stand to swear that the plainfiff reputation for veracity was notgol ; it was no iccable however, that alltho.-ethu.ste-ii-iving were ite-vjual tneiaies. Against these, a large numlter of the ino-t lesiiee -ab'e ciiVen of Leavenwoith, all di-iiitei-cktl parlies, were put upon the 'laud, who swore ssilive)y that Col. Anthony's repu tation in the coniuiiiuiiv for truth and er- acity, i good. This dois not piove that the tir-t named gtntlenun swore to a lie. hut it does show that their sen-e of truth has been se.iously blunted by their animos ity a distinction it umt be aduiiUid, without a veiy wide difference. When a man deliberately swears l a fjl-ehooil, he leijiirvj himself, but when he hates anolhir man so Iiii.erU that he can t stieak the truth about him, that is a difleiiut thing, though not tat differ. ill.

Anthony has nen u-l J by certain men in this community, iu con nection with falsehoodn of the mist mfam oiih character falehoods as diabolical as could le ci-iKoCtcd by any fiend in hell. These charges have bisn jiroven fal-e, time and again, through the press and upon the i-tiimp, and we projo-e tit see now if there is any power in the courts to put an tml to their repeated publication. We lme had little or nothing to say about the matter in The Timcs and propose to have let to say about it here after because the videcirclalian of Tmk Times in other coui'iiunilies and other Stales compels us to nAke it a general news paper, and we cannot cumber up its columns with the private affairs of any person, hut we have the time and the means to attend to the matter in the courts, and we propose to attend to iL until we find out whether there is tower enough in the law to protect a man's character from such infamous as saults. I'EDiii ititi: of Tii i: vnw i: ji a.v The true history of the "Colorado ietri fied man," that was exhibited recently in this city is given in the Xew York Tribune Of the 24th. It was made at Elkland. a little mountain town in Northern Pennsyl vania, near the Xew York State line, by GeorgeHnll. the maker of the Cardiff Giant. P. T.'Uarnum became interested iu the scheme, and supplied part of the capital. The figure was taken to Colorado, buried there near llarnuni's sheep ranche, and finally dug up, in accordance with a carefully-arranged plan. An adroit de ception was practiced in regard to the re sults of the scientific test, which it was claimed was made. Ground stone, ground bones, clay, plaster, blood, eggs and other materials were used in forming the image, which was then baked for weeks in a kiln. Hull had intended for a long lime to de ceive the public with this pretended petri faction, and had spent much time and reveral thousand dollars in experiments. UELICIOX MX SCHOOLS. It appears that the action of the New Haven board of education, abolishing relig ious services in the schools, is not to be ac cepted without a contest, and already peti tions numerously signed have been pre sented lo the board, both approving and de manding a reversal of its action. The fac ulty of Yale college is represented in both petitions, Professors Whitney, Sumner and Eaton being with the affirmants, and "resi dent Porter and Professors Dana, Sillman and Hopkins appearing among the remon strants. There is no more inviting field for this discussion than Xew Haven, nor better trained disputants than there; and the de bate will be regarded with interest, and its result will be influential elsewhere.

Thus there is a continual levee during the fust hours of the afternoon, and oftcii his private room is filled with calliri. The supiised advan tage of this proccso i that e-.ich p.-n-on will consume less time if he set! odiers watting lo speak to the President than if he is a lowtsl lo have a strictly private iiue view.

When the President vrants to have a "good lalfc,r as the ladies say, wi.h any friend or cal'cr, he usually mikes an aj pointment for some hour in the af cnooii or evening, and the person whom he W'siie to see presents himself at the prope ime.

It is noteworthy that the lve faui ily seeks very little diversion outside of ihe Vi hite House. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Haes have ever attended a regular dramatic per t'ormince, so far as I know, since they have resided in the Executive Mansion. They attended Mr. AV. W. Story's lecture on "Art," but I don't remember of their being present on any other occasion of this sort, or at any public entctainmeut of the light er sort. In the summer, and throughout the warmer season, the President rode or walked a good deal for exeicise. He is not seen on Penn-ylvania avenue, however, nearlv so often as President Grant u-ed to be. ' The President's management of his cor respondence is efficient and business-like. From fifty to one hundred letters are received "at the White House every day, and they come from every part of the " country and relate lo every imaginable feature of the public business. A majority of these letters, of course, come from people who want some thing or other from the Government, and who don't know any other way to get what they want than to write to the President about it. Sjldiers write to a.kforboiinlii.s, soldiers' widows ask for pensions, asd in quiries relating to every department of the Government are daily received. These let ters are all opened by a trustworthy clerk, whose duty it is to make a record of every letter received. Thisis a practice introduc ed by President Hayes, who directed last Match that every respectful communication addressed to him during his term of office should receive a respectful rcpoase a thing never known before at the White House. Grant used to entrust his corres pondence entirely to Babcock, who selected from the mail matter received such letters as he thought the President ought to see, answered such as he was directed to answer, and threw the others in the waste basket. It will be remembered that Grant discover ed Terr late in his Administration that let te -s which if might have been for his advan tage to have seen did not alwavs reach him.

Each morning the letler clerk makes an ab- .tnn. ' stractol" all the letters received. This ab - I'oueri fctracl recorded on specially printed blank pages aK'iit ten inches square. The name oi me mer is given in one column, place ol his residence in the next, the sub- : e .1 ... j.-ct matter of the communication in the third column and the dispos: ion made of the letter in a fourth column. When all the letters of the day have been thus treat ed the several pages of the abstracts ae put together with evelets, anil at four o clock each day this document is laid be fore the President, who runs his ee over the whole, sees about what he hxs been written to, and from whom the letters have come, and what answers have been retUiU- ; ed. If the subject isoiie ot any importance j to him or one to which a formal answer cannot be git en, of course no answer is setu until he has seen the letter, and, if any let ter which has Kin answered seel.)-, to him to have any sj-cial inlere-t. he semis for it and leads the whole. Thc-e ab-tracts are, ol course, preserved, and, at the end ol his term, will constitute a perfect lecoid oi all the corcspondence that has occurcd. In many case" the answir- returned to cor ivpoudciits are merely formal acknowledg ments. Theie are a multitude of cases where the latter is turned oer to some one of the departments, and iu all s ich cases the writer is in.'ormeJ where the matter has been referred, and what officer he should write to lor lurther information. All tl; makes a great de:il ol Work and invokes an increa-s-d ex'vnditure lor stationary and clerical assistance, but it must be admitted to tie a very praiseworthy thing in the President trim to recognize the claims of the people upon the office which he holds. As l.as already been stated, the I'residint usually writes a number ot private letters when he is alone iu the morning. The re mainder of his own letter writing is done through a stenographer, who is usually called iu at fotr o clock in the afternoon and is oliin kept by the President until si.t o't lock. These letters unless of uiiu-ual iu:- lKriai)(v, arc written out by the steno grapher on the following day after t'ley a e dictated. The making of appointments ab-orbs the principal parts of the President's time, and during a session of Congress several clerks are kept busy in the routine work connect ed with the exen-i-eof the apjioiuting Jiow er. Applications for office are "Ouriiigin all the ti.ite, and these are tiled, with whal eitr accuuianiiig recommendations may - received for the actiun of the l'rcsident. The principal apjiointmeuts are determined ujkiii at the cabim t meetings. The member ot the cabinet, to whose department the apitoimmrnt belongs, in that case, tales a memorandum to his otlice when the meet in,; is over and directs the making out o the 'nomination." '1 his is a blank form ol the simplest kind. It reads : To the Senate: I nominate name of the apjiointee to be name of Ihe office filled, in place of name of last holder, re-urned or removed. The blanks being filled out, are sent by nttvst tiger to the White House, where they ree-eivetlte PrrsidcntVsignature,andaretheu carried by one of the President's seeretaries to the Senate-, if that body is in session. The President's signature is in quite a fine hand. He indulges in no flourishes, hut writes ''It. 15. Ilayi-s," simply at the bottom of these documents. Sometimes they are made out bv the secretaries at the White House, llcfore thev are sent to the Senate thry are entered in a large book, which contains a record history of.all the appoint melts made, and a list iu manifold is also prepares!, one of the copies of which is kept at the White Hou-e, another is laid upon the desk of the Vice-President when they reach the Capitol, and the third is thin i it in to the agents of the prci in the clirh's office of the Senate. The apio"i mint book- at the White House are the largest of all the recoids kept lit The tonus u-eti lor the hftor.v ol each a' otii. tuent cover Iwo bages. The nam u nf residence and oifice given to each apiKiintee arelirst entered. Then follows tlie date on which they are sent to the Senate, the ac tioii nf the Senate and the date of the com mission of office. The latter data, of course, are put in by the clerks, after the S -clary of the Senate has communicated lor ally the action of the Senate upon ih ti. Frequently it haujicns that names :n. entered in these books long before the apjKiimnicnts are made public, and it i probable that apjiointmeiiis are often re corded which arc never actually made. The diplomatic appointments and ajq-uin -ments in the army and navy are e-u'ercti together in one book by an alphabetic I system.

President Hayes, has a larger iersonaI stall than has been maintained by any of his pnslcces-ors. The man who stands nearest to him is Mr. W. K. lingers, who holds the official po-hion of private secretary to the President, with a salary of Jtl.tJoO a yea. Mr. lingers occupies the large room adja cent to the President's room, on the side opNsiie to the library and immediately over the southern end of the east room, all the offices lieing on the second story of the Executive mansion. Mr. PrtnUn, the Assistant Secretary, who receive-, a alary of StfJO, is a man of eiuisiderable exsLTience, who holds oer from the last Administration. He has charge ot most of the details of records and the general work of the office. The law also provides for two Executive cltrks at $.2,000 each, which lisitions are held by Mr. Crook and Mr. W. C. Chapam, both of whom were there in (irant's time. There are several other clerks, who are employed under a practice bv which the President details men front the departments for sjsreial work at the White Hou-e. Private. rrecretarv Jioge's has a shorthand amanuensis, Mr. Henlev, who is liorne nn the rolls of the Interior Department. The President's stenogranhe-, Mr. Gutin, is borne on the rolls of the Posl-offiie Department, a pri vate secretarv to the 1 ostmater-(.ieneral Another clerk for general work, Mr. Price, is bo me on the rolls of the Paymasici-Gcn-eral's office. Mr. Morelon, who cuts up the newspaiers and kee'iw the scraisbook- for the President, is detailed from the Con- cressional Librarv. In addition to the-e clerks there are live messengers, who are detailed from what is known as "the gen eral service force" of the War Department. The ushers are carried on the lolls of the local jiolice force. The Stewaid of the White House is provided for by law, and leceiics a salary of 1,800. Pesides all his clerks, the President has the constant sei vice of one of his sons, who is a good srork er. Thedutiesof the private secretary are not very oneious He is much sought by people who think that he has irJuence with the Ptesident and many office-seekers pour their stories into his ears rather than wait to have an interview with the Presi dent. It is probable, however, that none of the President's as i-tanl's have very much influence over lt-s mind. They are. how ever, frequently .-tide to obtain places in the departments for their friends. The President ot the United States, during a sesicn of Congies, can never find much time to spend in reading news papers. The White II u-e is liberally sup plied with new-papers, only a few of which are kept ci. Sic. President Grant used to have nn f Lis tecrelaries cut out the Iesuinz -d"t' -"als on jolitical topics in the yw Yor": tisi'v j apers and occasionallv 'rrm papers publ'shed in other cities, whicli cntiings were handed lo him in a bunch for his perusal lute in the afternoon or in thsevin'Oif.

Enough of theai to fill a bnhel basket are received every day. Many of them are unimportant. The newspaper "clerk cuts from most of the influential pajsfrs, such editorial and other matter as he thinks of interest to the President- which he afterwards pastes in scrap-books, of which a series is kept. Meetings of the Cabinet occur on Tues days and Fridays at the hour of noon, and never on any other days, unless some question of importance has arisen, which renders it necessary to hold an extra meet ing, which of course can be held at almost any hour, as the secretaries all reside with in ten minutes walk of the White House. The meetings of the Cabinet are held in the room in which the President ordinarily receivis visitors, and where he spends rroet of his time.

The meetings usually last two hour- rarelv over three hours and often not more than half an hour is coti-umed.

Itoiv and When the "Great I'raud"' ua Concocled St. Paul Pioneer-Pi ess. The Eastern papers have just found out that President Hayes once bought some land or lots in Dulnth and lost a large sum by investment there. If this fact was traced in all its bearings it would undoubtedly lie found to have a close relation to the Elec toral fraud. We commend this mine to l he diligent working of the Xew York Sun. Meantime Ihe Poston lleraU says there was for a long lime a contest iu Congress as to whether appropriations should be made Tor Dulnth harbor or for the harbor of Superior City, Wis and the Wiscon'u men say they always found the influence of Gov. Hayes, which was a very stroag one, against them. This throws another blaze of light on the Electoral fraud, and the careiul t.ddent of history, by the aid of this hint, can easily trace Ihe begin ning of that bargain between the Southern members and Hayes, wliich re-ulted in his grand larceny of the While House. Eery one will lemember the great speech of" J. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, a few years ago, in which he gave a world wide advertisement to Du lutli, including the town lots owned by Gov. Hayes. This early evidence of a mu tual understanding between ihe South and Haves, by which, in consideration of their helping Duluth to a lia-bor and himself lo lite Presidency, he was to remove the mili tary and help the Texas Pacific, is the first link ol a chain of proofs, winch can leave no doubt of the conspiracy which resulted in the great fraud.
