’ O rth Stein has sunk a’oout five tjiousand dollars of his mother’s money received as insurance upon her litisbßod’s life, and has ab andoned his paper, the Lafayette ('oHti / and gone to St Louis. It is in lhe last degree, impijobable that so much money l could have been lost on the paper in so short tv time and it is plainly chaYg -d in Lafayette that the habit of gambling and consorting with abandoned women were the real causes of the young Qian’s wreck. Should such be the case, it is evident that ji great mistake was made in not lotting him serve out his twenty years sentence in the Missouri penitentiary.

We think it now be stated as a settled fact that Reformer Hoover’s real reason for his dropping like a hot chestnut his Indian agency was not an overweanihg desire to engage in the business of cattle raising; or even because "certain practices of the traders" galled his proud spirit beyond the limits of endurance; but rather that he choose the alternative of resigning rather than the more unpleasant one of being incontinently rejected by the Senate, We have pretty good authority for stating that some of Mr. Hoover’s most estimate acquaintances, both Democrats and Republicans, had taken pains to inform, the Senate as to certain of his business transactions, as well as some very indiscreet remarks, alleged to have been make, in regard to, “Making money and not caring a d—n how.’’ Whether this be true or not, it is-certain that Mr. Treat Durand, a very influential democrat of Remington, who went with Mr. Hoover to Washington on the occasion of the latter’s last visit there, returned in haste and alone to Remington, after a very short stay in Washington, leaving Mr. Hoover still there; and that upon reaching Remington a petition, or some document of that nature, in Mr, Hoover’s favor was very industriously circulated among the citizens of Remington, and then forwarded to Wahingotn. The petition, or papery is understood to have set forth, in glowing; colors the many virtues of Mr. Hoover. and the great confidence the signers had in his integrity, zeal &c. It is certainly strange that so much trouble would have been taken is case of a man just on the point of resigning “to engage in cattle raising in Kansas.” The petition seems to have had less effect, however, than certain sworn evidence alleged to have been adduced by those who took a different view of the "integrity and zeal" question, from, the signers of the above mentioned, petition, and the result is that Mr. Hoover has suddenly found many unthought-of beauties in the business of cattle raising in Kansas.
