N-jw in ordar-that we may not bo accused of nn fairness in oar reference Cj neighbor's position in future, we copy entire his leading editorial of July 12th. If we ever represented him, or if we ever do in future represent him as any more opposed to the war, any mora of a "copperhead" than he there represents himself, God forgive us. It was not our intention to do so.

We wish to call the special attention of our readers to the following expression in about the middle of the" article referred to "One of two things will avert the. destruc tion of this government the sober second thought of the people through the ballot-box, and this we never expect to see while radicalism holds sway, or an armed revolution." So, if we understand our friend, he expects another revolution, and favors it, rather than to submit to a radical, anti-slavery govern ment That was the way the rebels and cop perheads all talked when Lincoln was elected the firs ttime, and they got up a war sure enough and it seems as though some of them had not had enough of it yet But we forbear comment. Let the article speak for useir. tne meantime we commend our neighbor's views to the consideration of all true and Union Democrats. 'Thelndependence Barbecue.

Several of our citizens went down to In dependence on Wednesday, some thin king, we suppose, that they would see Old Pap Price and others, perhaps, indulging the pleasing anticipation that they would have a gay old smoke, all for nothing, as jt was said ihe pipe of peace, was to be brought into use. and passed around freely. All, we be lieve, expected to participate in a splendid free dinner, got up in barbecue style. The entire crowd were disappointed, and pronounced the affair, when they, returned, most egregious humbug. None of the notables advertised to be present, on either were Oar friends found themselves in a nest of unwashed and unrepentant rebels.

There was no free dinner. But in place thereof, people were invited to pay fifty cents to go into the old Fair where they had barbeeued a whole ox and divers smaller animals, most of which, from the warm weather, and from having been killed one day too soon, were Kfan advanced stage of decomposition, and emitted a stench that was calculated to drive people out of the grounds faster than they came in. We heard some of the pilgrims from Wyandotte complain that the Independence rebs obtained their money under false pretenses, inasmuch as they gave out that it was a free blow, for all parties, whereas, the victims, before they could enter upon the enchanted ground, were obliged to pay fifty cents for a ticket which indicated that the whole thing was got up for the benefit of the widows and orphans of deceased confederate soldiers. Then the rain was a great damper, especially to the drapery of the she rebels who, (as the Chairman of of our Board of County Commissioners says), fairly swarmed in the Fair grounds, and came depending on starch rather than crinoline, for tho expansion of beautiful dress goods. The rain came La torrents for a while, and as there ras no shelter to be obtained, there was such a collapse in white muslin as is rarely heard of in this section of country.

But the best part of the story is, (as Touched for by tho unquestionable authority before referred to), that more than five hundred women went to a willow grove, within the enclosure, and cut and put to Immediate use, (o counteract the effect of the rain), hoops of native growth. We suggested to our informant that he might have plaoed the number of women ten or fif teen too high, but he would not come down a single one. But the gem of tho whole performance was Glick's speech. Glick managed to have some striker calllustily for Gieek," and he, with his usual promptness, responded the call. lie opened out by announcing himself a conservative democrat, but that not begin to oome up to the platform of his friends, the bushwhackers.

lie then went on to say that he was with them in sentiment always had been-'-that he had 130611 run out of Atchison and Wyandotte 'bv red-lees', during the war that he had been imprisoned in Leavenworth jail through their influence but that his (Glick's) course had since been endorsed bv the people of Wyandotte County, more truth than Glick tells in that, they having elected him County Attorney, and that he had been allowed the extreme pleasure of sending thirteen of thorn (tho red-legs) to the pcni- tentiarv Tan awful lie.1 for life, and a half If '4 'dozen or more to the callows. This boast probably means that he instigated the mur der of Webster and Van Boreal He said lie came to Independence anticipating the pleasure of meeting Gea Price, under cir cumstances far different from those under he met him on the gory field of West-. port He was snag in his office in Wyan- In speaking of the use to be made of the money collected, he said he would rather CVW five dollars for the benefit of the widows and orphans of deceased Confederate soldiers, than to give one for the benefit of the widows and orphans of Vnion soldiers. After apparently thinking that, he bad spoken his sentiments almost too freely, con- aidering that some of his loyal neighbors were present, he gave as a reason for bis 'extra sympathy for rebels, that the government had done something for the widows and orphans of Union soldiers, while it had done nothing for the other kind. We judge that our citizens will nol be in a great harry to go to Independence again to attend a rebel barbecue, and hear Glick make robel speeches.

Iladiey, spoke at the -court house in favor of negro equality to a slim audience.

Hadley was hissed, and the crowd left. Langs ton made a very fair speech, and offended no one, but the people could not stand Hadley. A large crowd of our most respectable citizens gathered around the court house shortly after the meeting was over. They overpowered the Sheriff and Marshal, broke the jail open, took the above named prisoners out and a few minutes they were "over Jordan." The meet-in-; of la9t night "hurried up" the affair. Kow.

True to the instincts of tbe nature of the beast radicalism, hatred and passion, Congress is add ing new ana still more degrading and infamous provisions of the reconstruction, act, and if there was anything lacking in the original bill to completely strip the white people of the southern states of all their independence, that omission' is beine supplied by the amendatory provisions that are now being added by Congress. The depth of infamy and baseness to which it is descending is unparalelled in the history of nations. There is now no hope for the people of tne Boutuern state lines and States rights are completely obliterated, and what the rebels failed to do, Congress has accomplished. The Statks are blotted out. The rebels could not have done more.

All officers state and municipal arc placed at the mercy of the shoulder-strapped satraps that were created by the original reconstruction act. Laws are nothing, constitutions are nothing, and the opinions of the United States Attorney General are nothing if they interfere with the designs of Jacobin Ruin, nothing but ruin, devastation and slavery, awaits the white people of the southern states. Helpless and fallen starving and suf fering, they are stripped of CYerv vestigs of freedom and independence, and placed at the mercy of a degraded, ignorant nogro population, and a more degraded and intolerant radical power. Like a besom of destruction, it has wrought nothing but destruction ever 6ince it sprang into existence. Experimenting with the southern people, it is sweeping on, and ere another congressional election, and perhaps even before the close of the present session cf Congress, an attempt will be made, and effectu ally carried out, to wiie out the existing forms of government iu all other states, and instead of a republican torm of government, a centralized despotism will be established with some creature po.ucRsionr the venom, the passions and the hate of a Butler, a Stevens or a Sumner, at its head.

To that end we are drifting jnt a fast as radicalism can move. It lacks but little to attain that cud, and a few more radical strides will accomplish the purpose at which the party in power is aiming. One of two things will alone avert tbe des traction of this government the sober second thought of the people through the ballot box, and this we never expect to see while radicalism holds swav, or an armed revolution. We need hope for no good from the present congress. The constitution, once regarded as the only safe guard of the liberties of the people is overrid- .1 J.J 1 u'tii, me towers counueu vy iixo i lie national executive wiped out, tbe president tied hand and foot, and rendered powerless.

The opin ions bf the United States Supreme Court and of the Attorney Oreneral denied and disregarded. the people of this once great, proud and pros perous nation, are completely at the mercy of as base a set of tyrants, traitors and despots as ever sought to ruin any people. This may be strong language, but facta justify conclusions. In the name of "loyalty" the most infamous crimes have been committed that blacken the annals of history. But with all these infamies staring the people in the face for tbe last six years, a majority of them have upheld and ap proved them even while their very liberties were being stolen, and their subetance being eaten up by enormous taxation.

It seems that when Jefferson rested the stability and perman ency oi tne American government opod the vir tue and intelligence of the people he rested it upon a very weak staff. Radicalism, the bas tard or is ew England fanaticism, has overnd den everything that was good, and sapped and undermined the very foundations of our govern ment, and where once stood a power that might have defied the combined hosts of the world; there is now nothing but a rapidly decaying rain. And when the future historian comes to write up tbe history of the Anrericaa union, he can truthfully incribe upon his last page this epitaph "Hero lies a nation, that, in giving freedom and independence to the negro, lost its own." A Stairless Hbcss. There is now build-in a busy quarter of Paris an experimental house, which if successful and there seems no reason why it should not be so will serve as a model for similar structures in this and other The chief novelty in this house is the absence of any staircase, the place of that hitherto necessary means of access being supplied by a hydraulic elevator, ascending and descending noiselessly every minute, By means of this, the lodgers trill reach their respective floors speedily and without effort, at any given minute of the day or night Another advantage of this arrangement is, that it enables houses to be built to a much greater height, the upper floors being as easily accessible as the lower, and for that matter preferable, on account of better air.light, anu fredom from intrusion or the noise of the street The house building in Paris will he eleven stones high from the street level.

A little model of an serial machine has been exhibited in France, which, by purely mechanical force it is said, carries a mouse through the air.

Taylor, a most able, honest and radical editor. Manhattan Jndc pendent, July 13A. Communicated Mr. Editor: I write, to inquire whether or not, the time has arrived for organizing the Republican party in Wyandotte County, with a view of being prepared to perform our whole duty as a party at the ensuir fall election. The great issue before the American people is on the question of Reconstruction but in Kansas there are other important issues, which, although general in their nature, are local in their effects which issues cannot be ignored by the Republican party in this State, without forfeiting their name and proving recreant to their formcM principles or policy.

I refer to impartial suffrage and the disfranchisement of rebels. Ought we not to organize in this county, and agree upon the issues to be tried during the fall campaign. Although, as far as I am individually concerned, I am fully ready to make the platform embrace all these vital issues, yet there may be some who are en titled to the name Republican, who being weak in the faith, are not willing so to do, Be this as it may, an organization of the party is absolutely necessary to success. Let us meet and organize. Let us be up and doing.

Our enemy is at his old tricks he is sowing tares while we are asleep, and unless we awake, unite and act, we will suffer in glorious defeat. Let us have no more fusion or Union nominations. Let the tickets be pureJ Let the sheep be separated from the goats, and let it be. done speedily. Let us see who ore willing to stand boldly forward in defense of the principles, the whole principles and policy of the party.

Let us leave the sick and wounded in the hospitals, and let us have none in the ranks, neither private nor officer, who is not sound in every particular. Let us inscribe our principles off our banner let us fight manfully and honorably under such banner, and if we fail we can submit with becoming grace, knowing that we have done our duty and if we are victo rious. our opponents can boast a conquest by an honorable foe. You, Mr. are one of the State Cen tral Committee, and also the controller of the Republican organ in 5 this county.

What say yon Shall we ave an' organisation If to, devise some means to effect it immedi ately, and apprise the party of the same by notice through your paper or otherwise. At all events, Mr. Editor, let us hear from you on this Yours truly, F. B. Asdersox.
