Mockton is an oici time citizen of Leavenworth, and was alwajs known as a pleasant companion and a generous, warm hearted friend. The Captain resided in our city up to 1SGI, when he joined the historic let Kansas, and was Captain of the famous-4Stockton's Batten," which did such signal service during the war wherever engaged.

"Job's" name i3 like a household word to the older residents of our city, and is indissoluble linked ith the renowned "Stockton's Hall," which stood where Ummethuu's Opera House now stands, on the corner of Fourth and Delaware streets. The Captain has "been absent from Leavenworth for twenty years, and he says he scarcely knows the place and can recognize but few land marks of the past, except the familiar faces of his many old friends. He looks young for a man of his age, and Old Father Time has evidently dealt gently with hirn. We welcome him back and hope he will remain with us. from tlie Times.

We had the pleasure to receire a call yesterday from Col. Job Stockton, a resident of this city nearly twenty years ago. lie was the owner of Stockton Hall, then located on the site of the old opera house. Job was captain of the military company known as the Leavenworth Fencibles, which was organized by him and the late Capt. James Mc Cation.

Job was also a member of the famous Lincoln Guards with the editor of the Times, and for two or three weeks after the inauguration of President Lincoln stood guard in the cast room at the White House, in Washington. Job is one of the best of men, frank, liberal, high-toned and generous. Everybody gladly welcomes him in his old home. The 1st of May was observed as "buck beer" day and a great deal of beer and other liquors were disposed of. Many persons laid in from a pint to a gallon of whisky, for fear the last chance had come.

Both druggists declare that they intend to keep no liquors for sale for any purpose, and we believe that they are in earnest. There is a rumor, how ever, that a Kansas City agent will be located in town, which, of course, is a mere subterfuge toavoid the law. We have no quarrel with individuals over this question but we have with the business, which is wrecking a score of men here to-day. For this reason we want to sco the law enforced, and hope the County Attorney will be vigilant in this respect. If satisfactory evidence is produced that any one is selling liquor in violation of hlw, the writer will make complaint against them no matter who they are, and we mention the fact now so that we may not be accused of enmity of prejudice should a case arise.

There is no need of laws unless they are enforced, and those who do not care for liquor can afford to da without for the benefit of those who do always want it. Tho mother of Curly DeLang, the man who was sentenced to tho penitentiary for 24 years for attempting to rescue a prisoner a year ago last March, is here circulating a petition to the Governor for the release of her son. Wo learn that 6he has a petition signed by a large number of names from other parts of the State. Our people arc talking very strongly ofa remonstrance. DeLang was a very bold and desperate character and ought to be punished to the full extent of his' sentence.
