COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. Sunday MORNING, MAY 27, 1877.0 0 COPIES. The Patriots. ton It is one of the peculiar blessings of this country, that a man who chooses, can be a patriot, and can at almost any season of the year, offer himself as a sacrifice upon the altar of his country. It is yet nearly seven months (thank Heaven before another election.

Yet for several weeks the notes of preparation, and the voices of the patriots, who are willing to serve their country has been heard. This fall there will be two county offices to fill, that of Sheriff and Register of Deeds. For the former office there are six candidates whose names are mentioned, as we think, in the order of their prominence-Col. Moon, a farmer, now living in Mission township, formerly in the grocery business in this city; Mr. Gordon, the proprietor for many years of the Gordon House in this city; W.

D. Disbrow, formerly Deputy Sheriff, late a policeman in this city; Frederick Miller, at present Deputy Sheriff; J. H. Tincher, many years bridge policeman, but who has recently betaken himself to the more luerative business of agriculture; J. Q.

A. Peyton, a farmer, living in Silver Lake township, and a citizen of this county for the past four years. Frank Baboock, of the First ward, sometime ago was frunning," but latterly, we understand, he has about made up his mind to quit the business. For the office of Register of Deeds, Mr. Harr, present incumbent, (and by the way, a good incumbent,) is a candidate for re-election.

Mr. Tauber, formerly Mr. Harr's deputy; Col. Thos. Johnson, for two years Justice of the Peace in this city; Geo.

Bohall, a farmer in Williamsport township; E. F. Howell, a grain merchant in the Firstward, are, so far as we have heard, the other candidates. A great many others will probably be before the people before the election. we -10 1130 200 AT last gobno to nut abnortin vito ato loon EJYT8 We It we AL The State of the Market.

POLLEY Agents for the Celebrated STUDEBAKER WAGONS. Brooklyn women seek a divorce on a very slight pretext. Mrs. Pratt, of that asked a legal separation from her husband because he flung a pitcher at her, hit her with a lighted kerosene lamp, drew a knife across her neck and threatened to cut her throat, threw glass bottles at her, stuck a fork in her leg, poured hot tea over her, hit her in the back with a bootjack, and refused to give her money to go to a circus. Of course Pratt evinced very niggardly and cruel disposition in refusing his wife circus funds, but don't let us judge too the lions hastily.

Perhaps he was afraid would get loose and tear Mrs. Pratt to pieces, or that she might elope with the man who stands around pulling his mustache and swearing at the men putting up the circus tent. WHEREAS, Charles Francis Adams flatly maintains that President Hayes "must forever carry on his brow the stamp of fraud;" and, whereas, Charles Francis Adams has belonged to every new party that has been organized since the caucus of Babel broke up in a row; therefore, resolved, what is Charles Francis Adams going to do about the new Whig party Hawkeye.

LEAVENWORTH, May 18, 1877. The annual meeting will be held in the city of Leavenworth, on Wednesday, June 13, The elegant and spacions halls of the Masonic Temple have been generously tendered for the use of the Association, Mayor, Board of Trade and citizens extend the hospitality of the city and their homes to the editors of the State. NO There will be an open air concert at the Fort in the afternoon by the 23d U. S. Infantry Band.

Citizens and guests will be conveyed in carriages to attend the same. The election of officers will take place at the Masonic Temple at 74 P. M. Addresses will be delivered by Hon. John J.

Ingalls and Capt. Henry King, at 8 o'clock P. M. The excursion will leave Leayenworth at 11 o'clock A. on Thursday, the 14th, via Kansas Pacific Rallway to.

Lawrence, thence via the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad to Pueblo, thence on the Denver and Rio Grande Railway to Canon City and return to Pueblo, thence over the Denver and Rio Grande Railway to Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs, thence via the Denver and Rio Grande Railway to Denver, thence to Black Hawk, Central City, up the famous Clear Creek Canon, and to Boulder, over the Colorado 'Central Railway, and return to Denver, and thence home, via the Kansas Pacific Railway. It is understood that the editors make this excursion not only for the pleasure to be derived, but for the purpose of mutual interchange of opinions with the people of our sister State, to give us an enlarged view of the resources and magnitude of the Great West, which will result to mutual advantage of editors, railroads and the people of Kansas and Colorado. The excursionists pay their own bills. In other words, we do not expect free entertainment in the places we may visit. The estimated expense to each individual will be about twenty-five dollars.

The design of the excursion is to make it a genuine representative body the editors of Kansas. To accomplish this purpose the members the excursion will be limited to one bona-fide editor from each paper in the State, accompanied by one lady, and no more. No others will be permitted to go with the excursion. This rule is rendered imperative by the requests of Railroads, who furnish transportation, and for the further reason that unless this rule is be rigidly so large enforced, as to the excursion would cause great inconvenience, and in a measure, destroy the pleasure of the trip. In order to enable the Railroads to make provision for our transportation, it is important that the name of each individual going, should be transmitted to me on or before the eighth of June.

There have been many applications of persons to take one, two, three and even four additional persons, other than those included in the call, all of which are hereby declined. This circular must be an answer to all. Such requests cannot be complied with. The granting of one, would open the door to all. To open the door to all, would make the excursion a mere mob.

It is the purpose of the officers of the Association to keep within the bounds of reason and make only such rules as will be applicable to all. The excursion is no place for sick people, children, or people not able to take care of themselves. While it is understood that the number permitted to go as representatives, with the excursion, is limited to one bona-fide editor and one lady, it is desired by the citizens of Leavenworth to have it understood that the hospitalities of our city are extended to all the editors, their wives, sisters and children.

ANTHONY, President. The experience the Russians had of the Turkish needle gun in the first few days of the campaign has caused reinforcements to be dispatched to Roumania and the Caucasus. In Roumania the three corps of reserves are added to the operating force, and corps are being mobilized in their stead. In the Caucasus A similar change is being brought about. The Russian combatants in Roumania are thus raised to about 240,000 men, which will require the Turks to make corresponding efforts.

The If London the "Time's Russians correspondent says: out the design attributed to them of massing in Little Wallachia, it would indirectly confirm the report that considerable reinforcements are coming up, and that the army on the Danube is to be increased to eight corps, that it is to be double what it is at present. If complete each of these corps ought to number 35,000, thus giving the army an effective strength of 280,000 men. A special to the London Times from Danelograd, states that a council of war has been held and measures decided on which it is hoped will cause Turkey to abandon their attitude of reserve. The Pittsburgh Dispatch says that when Aimee is in town it is as difficult to borrow a married-man's operaglass of an evening as to secure the temporary use of an umbrella on a rainy day. ah burn The Roun'anians are so much in need of officers that they intend to prematurely give grades to the first class at the military academy.

OMAHA, NEB. The New York World says some days since a statement was made that the Russian fleet left this port in response to a request from Washington to that effect. There is trustworthy authority for adding that this request was in the form of intimations from Secretary Evarts to Grand Duke Alexis, Minister Schisckin and Admiral Bontakaff that it was the desire of president that the Russian vessels should longer remain in American waters, and that the state department perferred to make this intimation privately, hoping it might thus be spared the necessity of making the request officially and formally from the state department. The Russian commander at once made preparations to leave, and it is mentioned as a significant fact in the same connection that although Grand Dukes Alexis and Constantine, and Admiral Bontakoff attended the reception at ex-Governor Morgan's house, they remained but a short time, and rather conspicuously took their departure before the arrival of the president and party.
