Editorial Correspondensc, Editor Eagle: Notwithstanding nearly every moment ol my time is oc cupied with the work pertaining to ray legislative duties it is icliefto set down tor a IriewJl." chat, though hort it must necessarily be. One week of the eight has been conauiiicil, and the legislature has j;one earnestly to work. Republicans, democrats. Independents and liberals arc vicing with each other iu measures of reform. So rife has be come the spirit of reform that an at tempt is being made to organize a new political party with "rcfoim" as the whole platform. The trouble with the new movement i it leader, who are, with one or two exceptions men that have been kicked out of the old party of Ireedom a paity whiih was con ceived in the fclnigglc- of race for man hood; a J:ulv thai -prug into exist ence at the reverberation ofSumpter's gun; a party that preserved to us the government of Washington and the fathers. The house adjourned on 1'iiilny till Monday noon, bill the senate lemaiiied in session till late Saturday night, sel ling a good example of reform. So strong has been the spirit of rivalry for refoi m between the new combination and the republican party that it re sulted iu resolutions to test the rel ative strength of the two parties. The resolution was otTcrcd in tho senate by Col. A. M. York denouncing congress and the president, which was followed by the following, from the republican side, as a substitute: havo paid up more fully than for sev eral years past, as also iu many of the new counties.

I am promised a report from the treasurer of Sedgwick coun ty upon this same subject which will help to determine the proper course. M. Postal Savings Bank. Elsewhere will be lound a digest of the bill for tho establishment of the proposed Postal Savings depository. Iu our opinion if the bill was paFed and carried out to the strict letter, it would be a system not only of conven ience and security to the general pub lie, but one of considerable ic venue to the government. It has been practi cally demonstrated in Britain and made a turcess. As far as the safety of the depositor is c-oiiserncd it is per fectly safe ms the credit of the institu tion is backed by the government. The postmaster general leccoiiimcnds the passage of the bill.

It is to be built of stone, two stories high, 2C feet wide, by 60 feet iu length, lower story 1'2 foot, tipper, 13 loot ceilings. The two fronts to be hammer dressed stone, and the door and window caps, sills and frames, cut stone. The lower sto ry is to Ue used by the county officers, and the upper as a court room and hall. Judging fiom the specifications and drawings, it will no doubt be as tine a building, when fiuishwl, as there is iu southern Kansas. Mr. Bell is now quarriing the stone and expects to lay the foundation soon. GRANGE DEPARTMENT. PATBOXS IX SEDGWICK COUXTV.

That we an rrpublicin pledge our. felten to stand lirmjy and laitblully on the ride ol all necessary measure of reform without re gard to the ourcc from which they emanate. The discusciou that followed was lively, to say the least, and lasted a day and night, the republicans supporting, and Mr. York, Moonlight, Simons and others tr ing to amend and break them down. Personal histories were gone Into, and some of the leaders of the at tempt to destroy the national party of our state were shown up iu steals, frauds, etc. Tho resolutions were adopted by a vote of twenty-one to five, with four republicans absent. Tho house will have a warm time over the matter. Iu the mean time the repub lican members of both houses arc de termined not to be outdone iu the ad vocacy of all the reforms asked for by tho people of (he state, especially by the fanners' movement. The senatorial question is hardly ever mentioned. There has been no attempt up to this wiitiugto nominate any one in caucus. Kx-Oov. Robinson, Hon. Sid. Claike, ex-Senator Koss and Col. A. M. York's names are mentioned iu connection with the reform candi dacy. Col. Thillips, Gov. Osborn, Col. I'lumb, cx-Gov. Harrcy and J. C. Car penter arc other names given out as probable candidates. Our Southwestern representatives compare very favorably with the body of the lower house. Our own repre sentative, Hon. E. 1 Thompson, is at work like a beaver. He has good ma teiial iu him, and his influence will be for good all the time. I had the honor of introducing the first lour bill-, into the scnats. Mo. 1 repeals the law of Int winter "exempt ing mortgages from taxation." No. 2 provides for dividing the stale into three congressional districts one east ern, one northern and one southern. The rural dihtiict are not yet strong ly enough represented on the floors of the house and senate to pass thi bill, I fear, but we can make Ihe trial. Its success would be a great thing for the people living nutoide the cities, in ready to go home he went inn railroad coach. It seems that he has weakened somewhat on the monopoly question. The county council of 1. of II. of Butler county appointed a committee to examine tlie county books, and re port.

The knights templer ofTopeka coni mandcry No. 5, will give a grand ball and buuquct on tho eveningof the third of February. Kansas City had to pay Ellen Quiu, the orphan child of a man who fell over nn embankment on Blufl street in Sep tcnibcr, 1872, while the street was be ing gradod. Mr. Quin died from the injuries sustained in the fall, and his child brought suit against the city for $5,000 aud received $2,933. The Paola Spirit publishes a page full of affidavits from former employes of tho insane asylum, showing that that institute has been conducted very improperly. The congressional opportionment question is beginning to assume an in teresting form in the legislature. It is similised that the speaker of the house desires the success of what was termed the"pockct apportioiinient"thrcc years ago and has hapcd the congressional apportionment committee to secure that end.

From the Windiield Courier. Meetings are bcinjr held and peti tions rirrnl.iteil in lintlr-r rouutv in which cilice all the force of the inoimp-1 opposition to any division of that coun ty by an act ol tlie legislature, mere must be some alarn up there on that olies are centred. Ihe cities want three parallel diMrictx ruuiiiii'r cn-l and west, which virtually leaves all the western put lion of the Mate out iu tho cold. The :td hill repeal-) the infamous "debenture law," so called, which measure was dipped through by de signing men when its tendencies wcic not uutlei-Blood, or its eil effects an ticipated. Thc-lth bill referred to is a new tax law providing for bcmi-aumial payment of taxes, and for taxing rail roads, telegraph companies, etc., upon a different bavis from the one now in force. The eonctiricut resolutions with ref erence to an cxtctieion of time for the payment upon the Osage lauds, iu ac cordance with the plati proposed iu the Eacilk, passed the senate yesterday almost unanimously, and was ordered printed. I presented a petition over fifty feet long, which will be forward ed to Washington with the concurrent resolntions, if the house does not kill it. Upon the whole, the present body is the moM incongruous of any that has ever met here for the enactment of laws. One clement is widely extreme, careiug nothing for the barriers of the constitution or the future of the state o their pet measures can be made laws. Others think that because a sensation was worked up last winter which ruined a single man. that by the Mine process the grand old republican party aud all its living principles can be scattered to the wind aud are loud Su their denunciations of all who will not enlist uuder their bauuer. Still is left the element of thoughtful, prudent and experienced men who hold fast to faith, rcasou and the constitution. Such being the surroundings, design ing aud sensational men are making the most of the opportune moment to have thcnisalvci raised to high offices of power. Senator York boldly de clare! yesterday that in his opinion that necessary reforms could only be attained through the overthrow of the paity which had given him a political existence. We shall see what we shall sec. There is a bill before the legislature prohibiting the voting of bonds for all internal improvements, 6uch as rail roads, factories, etc. Auother bill ha. been introduced for the extension of the tcu per cent, penalty, aud still an other for reducing the interest of tax cer tiff cafes. With reference to mv ac tion on tho two latter, I would like to hear from the people of the valley. The railroads have failed to pay their taxes this year In every county in the atate. while reports received here from the various county treasurers show thatthe farmers in (fee cjler counties pint." Henry McDorinan, F. Kix and K. T. Wells, "of Dexter, brought fourteen bushels of wheat to llliss & Co's mill which made forty-three pounds of flour to the bushel, besides the toll. The daily stage line from Wichita to this place is to be changed from tho Iircsent route and come down the Ar :ausas valley to a point about two miles this sidcof Oxford and then runs into this place and down to Arkansas City. A buck -board will run from here to louglas. For the first time since tho county was organized Cow ley is equipped with a full set of republican officials. Now that the responsibility is upon the re publican party let us show how well and cheaply the affairs of the county will bo managed and put to shame our inaligucrs. Women's rights is beginning to man ifest itself iu numerous cases latclv. As an instance, we noticed yesterday morning, a woman whose average wciirht could not have been less than 371 pouuds, avoirdupois, passing caltn- Iv up -Main street, closely pursued by a little dried-up old man, staggering tip der a tllty-pound sack of flour. Can't Murdock stop those fellows up in those otitlving townships from whercaiing and resolving on the next U.S. Senator? From the Oxford Enterprise. A farmer living in tho valley below Oxford, informed us that the first of the week, that plowing was beiugdone by several of his neighbors, who find the ground free from fro6t and iu good working condition. A large emigration to the cheat) and Xertile lauds of lho Arkansas valley, win sureiv set iu tieiore manv months. The advance euards are alreadv here.

Mrs. Sheriff has the first loom that Pursuant to previous notice pub lished in the Belle Planine Democrat, and copied by the several papers iu the Arkansas valley, a coiiventien of the cotton growers of the valley was held iu Belle Plainc, Sumner county, Kan sas, on the 26th and 27th of December, 1873. A. B. Epperson, esq., of Belle Plainc, was chosen chairman, and Judgo Wal ton, of Oxford, secretary. J. W. For ney, of Oxford, was slioscn correspond ing secretary. J. W. Forney bciiig called upou to state the object of tho meeting made an able aud interesting address which was well received. He said the Akan sas valley, not the land of our birth, but the home ol our choice comprises a large area of the finest lands in the state. Our people are ''not contented with a mediocrity of success." but are earnestly and scientifically inquiring the path that shall speedily lead them to wealth and ease. Hence we conclude that thev arc worthy owners of this goodly land. " The first thing I shall mention is this : We must produce something from the soil that will buy money aud bring it from the east to our valley. Corn, wheat, and oats will not do this, owing to the high rate of freights for transportation. Tne farmer who produces more com than he consumes can sell the surplus to his neighbor who consumes it which docs not enrich the country, nor the farm ers as a class, for the' trade is made among themselves. Owing to our ignorance of the culture of cotton, the very late irosts in the spring, the very heavy rains early in the season, very dry after summer, aud finally, to try our cotton experiment to the ut most, the one early frost in the fall, our crop was light. Yet, notwith standing all these adversities, cotton has been raised this unusually bad sea son iu paying quuantitics. It is to con sult together as to whether or not cot ton iu the opinion of this convention can bo relied on in this locality and be made a paying crop. Col. 11. St. Clair was called upon and gave a glowing account of the effect of the products of simmer county in the state fair, especially the show of cot ton thereat, and remarks of cotton rais ers of Kansas and other southern men, who were decidedly of the opinion that cotton was a success in this val ley, most of whom recommended the early varieties, as the Dickenson and Early Green. The rows of cotton should run north and south, so as to allow the sun free access to the nlants. Three feet and one-half apart is a good distaucc for the rows. He had learned from experience that catton can be worked too much. Summary of Col. St. Clair's remarks: Try again; each person plant from two to four acres ; next year we will have granger's facil ities for shipping. He exhibited sev eral specimens of this year's crop. Judge Waltou was called upon to make some remarks upon the subject of raising cotton, which were well re ceived. Subject for discussion to-morrow, "Variety of soil most suitable for the culture "of cotton." Mr. Epperson to open discussion. Second subject,"How and when shall we plant, prepare seed, etc.," Dr. Kippcrton to open discus sion. Adjourned till 10 a. in. to-morrow. Geo. F. Walton, Sec. Decemrer 27, 1873. Convention assembled pursuant to adjournment. Minutes of yesterday read and approved. Col. St." Clair in the chair. A. B. Epperson took the floor and made a timely and sensible address. Ue believed the Arkansas vallev the very best soil for cotton. Did not deem deep plowing prior to planting advisable. lie had considerable knowl edge of the kind of soil best adapted to the crowth of cotton iu other states. It was tho warm, sandy loam which prevails in the Arkansas valley. Cow Icy, Sumner, Sedgwick and Butler counties should ami will coon produce cotton sufficient to insure manufacto ries of the staple iu our midst. Our young county of Sumner may well feel "proud of having taken the 'initiatory step in the growing of cotton. Win. Carter, esq., was then called The State Grange.

East of the Cross timbers m Texas he found a bot tom soil, black sandy loam, similar to the soil of Sumner county, but inferior in poiui oi nenness, wnicn usuailr yields from ono to one and a hau bales per acre. Frosts are later in the spring and earlier in the fall than iu Sumner county. They throw two furrows to gether, leaving the ''laps" undisturbed, and plaut ou the ridge. The top root of cotton penetrates the ground like the hickory, and branches which bear the bolls are kept back until the top root strikes eolid earth. Hence the advantage in burning on the bolls bv leaving the ground undisturbed under the row of cotton. The land between tlje rows can be plowed at any conven ient time. The ridges should be craped instead of hoed. The sead should be drilled in the rows close, and the planu cut out with a hoc to about sixteen inches apart. He recommended for this climate the Larly Green. The following programme was then adopted for the convention at its next session: Col. W. II. Knapp, address or essay on cultivation of cotton in the Arkansas valley; Col. II. C. St. Clair, address or essav on the capabilities of Arkansas Talley; J. W. Fornev, ad dress or essay; G. E. Meeker, cssav on the agricultural interests of the valley; Win. Carter, address or cssav on the general adaptablilijy of Sumner coun ty to produce all th'e cereals and sta ples of this latitude; C. S. Broadbent, address or essay. The convention then adjourned to meet again ou Saturday, March TSth, 1874, at 10 o'clock a. m., sharp. A. 11. Epperson. tref- The town of El Paso is located on the eart bank of the great Arkansas River, in the southeastern part of Sedgwick county, Kan'a. It has many advantages, among which are its beautiful and healthy location, sittmted on a high, gently slop ing prairie, surrounded by one of the largest bod ies of the most fertile land in tlie state, which is all taken up by actual settlcr, w ho arc energetic, industrious and pructieul farmers. They arc at work in earnest, openingup their farms and mak ing themselves good, comforlablc nnd permanent homes. ROCK BOTTOM. There is a rock bottom in the river, extending about three quarters of a mile up anil down the ttreani. On the east bank the rocks are about fif teen feet above low water mark, and on the wet bank about twelve feet below the surface of the ground. BRIDGE FACILITIES. A good substantial bridge, two hundred anil seven!) -live feet long, spans the Arkansas River at this place, thereby giving the farmers on the west side ol the river aecev to the town nt any stage ol water and nt all teasoin of the vear The bridge rests on stone abutments on either bank, and on two iron piers, which stand firmly on the bed rock in the river It is nttnrally the best place on the river in this state for a railrosd bridge across the great Arkansas River. RAILROADS. Two railroads have already been surveyed to this place; one from the northeast, via Eureka and Augusta, crossing the river at thi rock bottom, the other from the city of Wichita to Arkansas City, which proved to be almost an air line, and a very favorable route. No.doubt, both roads will soon be completed. WATER PRIVILEGE. There Is not the least doubt thit here is the best water privilege in the stale or Kanas. The great Arkansas River, its source in the Rocky Moun tains, is supplied with waler in cummer by the melting snows in the mountains, by rain and it many tributaries in winter The witer is alwavs highest from spring until fall, yet It has never been known to overflow its banks at this point There is an abundance of waler during Ihe whole year to mn all the machinery that can be placed on the bank for several miles below Smoked do.

Democrat, FEASIBILITY OF A DAM. The feasibility of a dam across the river ia not questioned, a solid rock bottom ml! the way across to build upon, the width only two hundred and seventy-five feet from shore to shore, a high bank of clay and rock on the east side, and on the west side a bed of tough clay covered with sand, ex tending for some ways up the river above the rock bottom. This water privilege mut and will short ly be Improved. H Pmso will be m manufacturing town. The experiments last winter in raising cotton demonstrated that this soil and climate are adopted to cotton growing; then why not manu facture it here where the corner stone and found ation have been naturally laid.
