8 TIHE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, AUGUST 292, 1873.. _— KANSAS. The Last Politioal Sensation---The Oobb-Taylor Libel-Suit. Ten Thousand Dollars for a Wounded Congressman, Scnatorinl Surmises and Specu- Intiong---Grangers Mul- tiplying. Special Corresnondencs af The Chicago Tribune, LEAVENWORTH, Kan,, Aug, 14, 1873, Now wo havoe auothor volitical sensation. Uongrossman Stophon A. Cobb has brought sriminal suit againgt Mr. R. B. Taylor, editor of the Wyandotte Gazelto, for * ‘WILLFOL AND MALICIOUS LIDEL, The offending of Taylor hath thia oxtont : In his newspapor, last Baturday, ho assertod that Cobb hed nttempted to bribe Oapt. Willism D. Mathows whilo tho latter was sitting on tho Grand Jury in the John Spoer dofaleation oase. By way of side obsorvation, it is portinont to say that Spoor, while Lo hold tho office of United 3tates Collector of Revenue, squandored $100,000 of Govornment funds in a hopoloss and spirited endeavor to porpotuato the power of acortain clique of tho Republican party in Kanens, of which Sidnoy Olarko was tho head and front. Buit was commenced to recover the funds ; but an oxamination disclosod the fact that Spoor had placed the money * whero it would do tho most good ;" henco tho sotion was abandened, aud Speor wont to work again, un- molested, to sdvanco Ropublican principles in Kansas, The mot norious eharge, however, miade by Afr. Taylor, is one to the offect that Cobb is NOT COLONEL AT ALL, aor never waa Colonel, but was simply o Cap- snin in an Indian regimont which nevor had an sxistonce.” In Kansas, wheren good military zitle is tho * immodiato jowol™ of & man’s soul, on assortion like that caunot pass without ro- sistanco, Taylor further intimatos that Col. or Capt. Cobb was appointed to a position in tho Commissary Departmont of tho United Btates Army, and, af- ter sorving cightoon months in the noighbor- hond of Mobile, returned to Wyandotte with ©19,000. TImmediately after the appoarance of the shargos aforesaid, Col. Cobb had Editor Taylor arrested and bound over to appesr at tho Octobor torm of court. Aftor study- ing ovoer tho griovance for three or four days, tho wounded Congressman concluded that & criminal suit WAB XOT SUFFICIENT to heal his injured honor, and, day bofore yoa- Iordn& brought civil suit, clnirnlnfl the sum of $10,000, In tho monntime, however, ho published = card to tho Knnsas pub- ic, whorein ho recounted tho glorios of his profossional, military, and political careor, and obsorvd that sn army of clionts had raised him from poverty to iudoguuduuco. And yot he wants $10,000 moro from Mr. Taylor, "There i o diversity of opinion about tho result of the suit. Isuw Capt. Mathows yestorday, tho Grand Juror montioned by the Gazelle, and in- quired IF NIE ENEW ANYTUING about the truth or falsity of Mr. Taylor's alle- gotions, Mathows replied, aftor a littlo hesita- tion, that Cobb tricd to get him to leayo the Grand Jury, so that a quorum couldn's bo obtained, In roply to the inquiry if Cobb: had offered him mnoney or anything elso to go, Math- ews snid Cobb told him that he hud authority to offer him Dewey's placo s Route-Agont. Math- ewa also assorts that Cobb wanted the indictment postponed, becanso, if mado st that sitting of the 1t would *‘hurt the party and de- stroy -8id Clarke's chance of re-clection.” Mathews snys bo told Cobb that he didn’t want the offico of Routo-Agent ; and then Cobb re- plied that ha eould have the appointment of Local Mail-Agent at tho Btato Line,—a new office that _was going to bo ostablished with o enlary of 75 s month, but that $120 & month could bo mado out of it. At that time, Col. Cobb was attornoy for John Bpecr, nnd on active fricud of Siduoy Clarke, Porhapa the talk with Capt. Mathows was the result of Col. Cobb's OVEIFLOWING PROFESSICNAL ZEATL, and was not intonded as au offer to bribe. The trial, if it takes placo, will throw light on the point, nud show to what oxtont o lawyer may go to get his client frae. Tho feud existiog between Measru, Cobb and Taylor is one of long stauding. In local poli- tics, tho cunning of Cobb has been too much for Tnylor; and tho success of the former in se~ curing & sent in Congress only sorved to INTENHIFY THE DITTERNESS of the editor. There is nothing subservient or truckling sbout Taylor. He doesn't play the sycopbaut to mm\oritfl, nor does ho surrender his conncctions for the sake of gotting favor with office-bestowing Cnnqroflumun. 6 is & good nmvupa]{xur-mnu, aud it is to be regrattod that he hag allowed himeolf to got into a con- troversy with a Congressman, There is a deal of quiot figuring in progress concerning THE BENATORIAL VAOANOY ; but tho contest will hardly gpen with anythin of vigor or excitoment until the sagricultursl Iairs close. It is conceded that thero is more credit to bo gained in tho oxhibition of the products of our soil than in the display of the products of our politieal civilization. As- piranta for tho vacant place in the Benato we still bave, Tho crop of place-scekers is cer- tain. It nover fails, or gives o sign of failing, Rumor hath it now that Gov. Osborn intonds to appoint 3. 1. INSLEY to fill the vacancy in the Sonate, Mr. I isa Leavenworth man and a bauker,—two qualifica- tions not always disregarded in solocting & Son- ator from Xansas, The appointment would not be pugulur. It would offectuslly do- troy _ Giov. Osborn’s chanco of boing elocted to the place by tho Legislature. In truth, thoro is & strong sontimont agninst the appointmont of any man, The appointee could not serve loug enough to accomplish any good for & State. e would simply go to Washington, grab §5,000 from tho United Biates Treasury, aud como back homo with his plunder, Gov. Osborn is working hard to seoure the much- covoted placo, but thore 18 8 manifost opposition to him, § THE GRANGERS will haye more to suy in the sclection of United 3tates Sonator than many sspirants supposo. The organization of farmors i growing stronger svery day. Now Granges aro springing up aud memberships multiplying in “every section of the State. Numorous ass-meotings havo boen Leold, and the tono of tho specches and resolutions foreshadows o detormination upon tho part of farmers to exort their euergios to Heeuro tho election of . bettor and l{mwr men to fhe Legislaturo from the ruraldistricts, I don't believe that any man who kias oven the suspicion of bribe-giving or bribe-taking clinging to his rocord can hops to succeed with tho noxt Logis- lature. ‘The political atmosphere of Kansas 18 DETIER TUAN ITYAS ONE YEAR AdO, Rageolity is not so bold now as then ; and the wess, too, sponks out with moro nerve and in- dopoudence than formerly.

Usually Now Yorkors, howevor intimate, burry by onch othor with a nod, at lonst during business-hours, and froquently do not moet on social grounds twico a yoar. MIDSUMMER CORDIALITY. ‘This summor tho oustom has changed, in con- Hoquence of tho emptinoss of tho town. Tho porsons you encountor in tho atrosts, horse-oars, stages, parks, and at the hotols, are gonernlly strangers. The rosidont citizon ia an exception, and, thoroforo, when he is scen by anothor rosi- dont, tho recognition is ocordial, almost effusive, I havo beon out of the city as much as X could bo sinco the middle of May, and I notico, whenover Linvado Broodwsy, that the mon with whom I asm on little more than spesking torms rush up, aud shake hands, ask questions, and show adogreo of warmth and interest not at all compatiblo with the common metropolitan indit~ forenco, For somo wecks I was unablo to un- dorstand this variation of conduct. Ibegan to fancy that I had grown E)urliculafly nttractivo, ‘but I soon discovered that my increased magnot~ ism Iny in my familiar humanity, Joues, Bmith, and Robinson all told me that they had not seen anybody thoy know siuce tho warm wonther commonced, and that to_meot an acquaintanco was o roviving novelty. Thoy bo- uiled mo into the shade, and wore anxious to mow what had bocome_ of overybody, whore I had boon, whoro I was going, and where I could bo found tho next day, tho noxt week, or tho next mouth. Jones informed me that ho bolonged to six clubs; that he had beon ngamn and agalu to ovory ono of thom, and had not mot a singlo soul o folt liko talking to, Smith said he bad riddon up and down Brond- way in o stago, and watched tho upward and downward strenm of humnnity for o weok, with- out rosting his oyes on any countenance which ho rocognized. Tobingon had dropped into all the lesding hotols, evening after eveniug, and had not dis- covared anybody to shake hands or gossip with.

Aftor o while, they camo to the conclu- sion that they had married the wrong womon; that Calico “(prosuming that to be his name; should hava ospoused Mrs. Muslin, ond that Muslin should have boen tho husband of Mrs. Calico. They discussod the mattor openly, and, a8 thoy all agroed upon it, thoy had mo diffeulty in roadjusting their matrimonial ar- rangements, Tho courta of Indiana gave thom tho dosired relonso ; Mrs. Muslin becamo Mrs: Calico, aud Mrs, Calico Drs. Muslin, Thoy were altogothor satisfied with what might bo termod the now connubial doal, and, though they consed to live under the same roof, they were still on tho mot friondly footing. In littlo more than & twelvemonth, Calico dis- covored that he did not got along, on tho wholo, Linlf so ploagantly with his now consort as he bad done with the old, and learnod upon inquiry that it was oxactly the same with Muslin. Con- sequently a quadrilatoral convention was held, at whioh' Mrs. Calico and Mrs, Muslin expressod their praference for their previous coudition of wedlock : and the result was another journoy to tho West, and another divorco. ‘Tho rounton is only two or throo months old ; but, at presont, promises, I underatand, to ba mutually agrocable and adhesive, If it does not, Calico and Muslin will not be likely to ex- change partnors as thoy did before, since thoy havo loarned by oxperience that they canuob *gwap” wives to advantago, Ouo thing that this imbrogtio—to use_the re- portor's_word—olearly demonutrates is, that mnon's wives are moro interosting to other men then they aro to their husbands; and that women, when married, often loss by daily familiarity much of tho ‘charm they were sup- posed to posscss before -they assumed such rolatfon.
