The Kansas Democrat says: "A sad accident occurred on Saturday of last week, in which a little son of Mr. Harris lost his life. We learn that the little fellow was standing on the hull of an old boat when he lost his balance and fell into the water where it was very deep. Men were on the bank at the time but made no great effort to save the lad; the excuse was they could not swim."

The time is now at hand when it is proper to discuss questions relative to the election of county officers this fall, and for men to come out and show their hand. About a month ago the Fredonia Journal published a lengthy article under the title of "County Officers." It closed by stating that it wished to know what The Citizen had to say. The substance of the JournaTs article was simply that the best men in the county should be elected to REAPERS MOWERS, and are capable of doing as the Protestant Irishmen and Catholic Irishmen before the battle of the Boyne, the result of that conflict among them the "OHIO" Eeaper and Mower, and keeps constantly on hand a general as desire to exhibit. 112 shares of Cherryvale is now the terminus of served to intensity and hx more firmly than ever the pre-existing hatred of the parties for one another.

We wretches clothed with man's form; both sides. The interposition of the military alone suppressed the "minor'matters" which means politics and that the offices be fairly distributed throughout the county. As the Journal is an independent paper not advocating the cause and doctrines of any political party this was the most favorable statement it could make for itself, and in fact the only one.

Politics were never mentioned, but were alluded to only as "minor matters," by the Journal. We have this much to say at present, and shall express ourself often and in stronger terms before the election takes place: There is no doubt whatever that a Republican County Convention will be held very shortly and a ticket nominated by it. The Republican party has an organization in Wilson county and of course it is its duty to nominate a ticket. The Republican nominees we intend to support with all our strength; for the election of every Republican nominee we shall labor with fidelity and earnestness. It is our desire to see Republicans elected to fill every office in Wilson county.

The reason why they do not to-day is well understood. The Republican majority in the county is not less than 650 at the lowest. The Republicans must nominate the best men iu the county for the various offices, and then stand by the ticket to a man. The too-common custom of "splitting up" and supporting Independent and Democratic candidates on account of local differences, should be abandoned. More Democrats than Republicans have held office in the county since it was organized, and 3et the Republicans have always been the strongest.

It is because the Republicans have ever failed to unite that they have been only partially successful. We would like for once to see a straight Republican ticket elected, and this fall is the time to elect it. If the Republicans hope to preserve the party intact, in this county, they should unite this time. Next year there will be a Presidential election, and, having an eye to the future, we should make preparatious this year and next season show a bold front. It is of the utmost importance that we unite this year in order to insure success next year.

We are in favor of selecting the very best men in the county none other and of doing what) is right and just by all sections of the county in the distribution of offices. The country should have its share of the offices and the towns their share. There should be a disposition on the part of all do what is right, and to elect men who are trustworthy and competent and whom the people will not be afraid to support. To accomplish this every true Republican should strenuously labor. By distributing the offices and showing a generous spirit, the Republican strength can be united, and this is the oury manner in which it be done.

The Democrats may nominate a ticket, but we doubt it. They the aspiring Democrats will likely try to work their way in on an Independent or People's ticket. This is one of their dodges, and an old one in Wilson county. It is within the power ol the Republicans to wholly defeat them in all such efforts, and if they do not it is their own blame. This is how we stand, politically, and the policy we pro Humboldt, July 16, 1871.

He released hisliold and she sank insensible to the floor. He again seized her by the throat, and choked her until life was almost extinct, and in a few moments life passed away. He then cautioned the boy that if he breathed word in regard to the affair, he would shoot him.

The statistics of the organization in the United States have not been made public, nor the particular form of the obligation to be taken and observed by each member.

It has been asserted through public journals that the oath each member in the United States takes on admission is the same as that taken in Great Britain, and the organization has on that account been denounced as Anti-American. In the British Isles the procession of the association are forbidden by law. That is not the case, however, in British America and our readers have not forgotten the excitement in Canada caused by the attempt of the Orange societies, in 1860, to compel the Prince' of Wales during his progress through the provinces, to recognize the order and to pass under its arches and banners, which recognition he and his suite positively refused.
