Phelps is the Republican candi date for Governor in California. Tun prhate library of Daniel Webster was recently sold at auction in Boston. Cnicvoo is seldom without a conven tion of some kind. The latest is the Spiritualists, The wheat harvest has alieddy begun in the Southern counties of the State and the yield is estimated at from twenty to forty bushels er acre. Gen". Sueiuiav, according to rumor, gets $00,000 for his boot of "Memoirs," and the publisher is highly delighted with the row it has kicked tip. Wheat is now taken from Chioago to New York for 10$ cents per bushel, or about two-tenths of a cent )cr mile for the actual distance it is carried. I.v Canada a union has been consum matcd between the Presbyterian Church and the Church of Scotland. The con solidated church has been designated as the Church of Canada. The Atchison Champion is printed on paper manufactured in Kansas, having received an invoice last week from the new paper mill at Blue Rapids. The paper is of a good quality. Persons bringing suits for libels arc becoming more succcsful. In the suit of W. D. Moore vs. the Pittsburgh Post the Court last week gave a verdict of $10,000 damages for the plaintiff. Is Mexico the government recently closed one of its postoffices because it could not find a postmaster. Don't think postofficcs in the United States will ever be closed on that account. Last Thursday being the centennial of Hunker Hill, the Kansas City Jurnal of Commerce published a full historical sketch, with engravings. An enterprise of which that paper may justly feel proud. Rct one honorary degree was conferred by the regents of the State University this year, and that was the degree nf Doc tor of Laws, which was bestowed upon the Rt. Rev. Thomas H. Vail, Bishop of the Diocese nf Kansas. The Black Hills raiders who were cap tured by the military and thus thwarted in their gold-seeking movements, have brought suit against tho government of ficers who destroyed their property. They claim $22,000 damages. The compliments recently paid to Carl Schurz. at Berlin, by members of the Diet, Professors of their University and American residents must be very grati fying, especially to a man who was forced to fly from Germany for treason. Last week the Republicans of Califor nia nominated a State ticket and an nounced their principles. The campaign has fairly opened in several of the Suites, and it won't be Ions until we will hear something more about "that tidal wave." Tun City of New York has recently bnilded two public baths and thrown them open to the public and on the first d.iy they were opened for use one of them was visited by 8,000 boys and men. These baths will doubtless prove a great public blessing. Stilt, some trouble with the Indians on the frontier. Lieut. Kingsberry of the sixth Regiment of U. S. Cavalry, ac companied with sixty men and two 6couti, is out looking after thieving bands of Indians with orders to shoot them wherever he finds them. MottE specie for circulation. A party of divers have recovered the iron safe of the United States Man-of-War, Camber land, which the rebel ram Virginia sunk in Hampton Roads in 18G2. For thir teen years divers have made repeated ef forts to find this safe. It is supposed to contain about $100,000 in gold. In Iowa the Bourbon Democrats, the "Anti-Monops" and the Liberal Repub licans have issued a call for a State con vention for the purpose of nominating an "opposition" ticket. The desire for office must be strong to unite these discordant elements. Barnum never had a happy family to be compared to this. The American Rifle Team has reached Ireland in safety. They received a warm welcome. The former contest between the American and Irish teams was so close that the approaching match is awaited with much interest. The Amer jean team is reported in good trim, and as feeling confident of again being licto- jious. At tie Brilliant Oil Works in IYcn eylvaauV on .the Alton & Allegheny Valley railroad, near Pittsburgh a fire occurred last Saturday which destroyed oil, benzine .and tar to the. amount of $150000. The engines were sent out fronx Pittsburgh and after a hard fight witbube fire they succeeded- in getting Jt under control. It is quite probable that the question Of restoring the President' salary to the old aura of $25,000 a year will be'agitat edon the election next year. We don't think 150,000 any too much, but as the .office j sought more for tli honor than the pay, we believe if the peopte have the opportunity to expres"ftn opjnjoji n this subject they will bay cut ft 4qvb. The twentyfirst annirersary of the city of Leavenworth was celebrated by its citizens last Monday evenine. Sam uel D. Leconipte made the oration and R. R. Revirs read a poem. After re freshment there were numerous toasts and responses, and the whole affair was highly creditable to the inhabitants of this metropolis of the Missouri Valley, as they oall their city. Is the Connecticut House of Repre sentatives the constitutional amendment providing foi biennial elections for fall and winter sessions of tho Legislature ira.i passed by a vote of 227 to 7. Sensi ble. We think the people of Kansas will vote in about that proportion next fall in this State in f.ior of the constitution al amendment providing for biennial sea Kionsofthc Legislature. The tenth of this month was fixed by the Second Advcntists in New York for the general bustification of every thing terrestrial. This ascension business is getting stale and has always been ludi crous. The proper thing for Adventists, as for others, is to make preparations for correct living, their departure from this world and the final winding up of affairs will take place without any trouble on their part. Dispatches from the border between Texas and Mexico represent a very un fcatisfactory state of affairs. Jn Western Texas the stock is very muh scattered, herders fearing to give them proper atten tion on account of the Mexican raiders. News from Jlexico represents a revolu tionary spirit as prevailing. Already one.or two skirmishes have occurred, in which several Mexicans were killed, and further trouble is anticipated. The Topefca Commonwealth of the 10th inst. published in full the address deliv ered before the Agricultural College at Manhattan, May 2Cth, by Noble L. Pren tis. This address, like Mr. Prentis' writings, is bright, sparkling and full of life, very suggestive and practical. It places its author in the front rank among the orators of Kansas. The Kansas Edi torial Association have undoubtedly se lected the right man to make their an nual address at their meetjng in the cen tennial year. The centennial celebrations arc doing much toward bringing the people of the North and South to a better understand ing of each other and into more friendly relations. On the Ujth and 16th inst. military bodies, from the South as well as the North, arriving at Boston for the purpose of participating in the Bunker Hill centennial were received with great enthusiasm. It is certainly encouraging to hear of ex-Confederate officers and soldiers visiting a people whom of all others a few years ago they hated and being by them kindly received and hos pitably entertained. ' The good feelings that have been manifested at the centen nial celebrations at Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill lead us to expect that by the time the great centennial Jt Phil adelphia is over, and people from all the States have mingled together and wit nessed the evidences of the great devel opment of our country during the first century of our national existence, sec tional strife and hatred will have been forgotten and that we will be in reality, as in name, one people. The commencement exercises of the State University, at Lawrence, this week, were highly interesting and were well attended. On Thursday the Rev. Dr. Marvin, who had been elected Chancel lor of the University, was installed in that position. The keys of the Universi ty were delivered to Dr. Marvin by Hon. N. C. McFarland, Vice President of the Board of Regents, who made an ap propriate reply to the remarks of the Vice President and then delivered an Able and appropriate address. Among the many things of which the people of Kansas are justly proud, the State edu cational institutions stand preeminent. The names of the graduates this year, and the decrees conferred, areas follows: Miss A. Gertrude Boughton, of Mora via, N. Y.. Bachelor of Arts. Miss Kate Stephens, of Lawrence, Bachelor of Arts. Miss Martha R. Campbell, of Lawrence, Bachelor of Arts. Miss Eusebia B. Mudge, of Manhattan, Bachelor of Arts. Frank F. Dinsmoor, of Lawrence, Bach elor of Science. W. S. Herrick, of Lawrence, Bachelor of Science. Frank P. MacLennan, of Emporia, Bachelor of Science. Last Wednesday it was announced in the telegraph dispatches that the long continued strike among the coal miners in Pennsylvania had come to an end, the miners making an unconditional surren der. It is a matter of rejoicing to the country at large that this prolonged con flict between capital and labor has termi' natcd. While we condemn all acts of vi olence and di-order on the part of the miners, yet if tho reduction of their wages was unjust we are sorry that star vation made it necessary for them to surrender. Labor is the foundation ot all capital, and if laborers will united ly assert their rights in an intelligent, orderly and peaceable manner they can generally receive a just compensation for work performed. Strikes have become unpopular with the mass of our citizens more on account ot the drunkenness and disorderly conduct of. the strikers than from their demands, being unjust as they sometimes arc. With the equality before the law that is enjoyed by all classes in this country those who per form manual labor have it in their power to demand and receive just wages, and in every contest between labor and capital where the former has had to unjustly succumb to the latter, we believe the J cause can be given in one word, whisky. The Editorial Association of Indiana held their annual meeting at Indianapo lis on the 10th inst. Tlw attendance was good. In discussing the question "Is Co-operation Among County Pub lishers and Editors Desirable?" it was found that the plan of buying paper with one side ready printed was growing in favor. Among Kansas editors papers with "patent bowels" are rather unpop ular; but then Kansas newspapers, as a class, rank about three grades above those of Indiana. Publishers not being printers, or hard times, are the only things we know of that makes a patent sheet desirable. In the discussions started by the pub lication of Gen. Sherman's "memoirs" the agreement tlic General made with Johnson for the surrender of the Confed erate troops is being investigated. It seems that Sherman was directed to de mand a surrender under such terms as had been given by Grant to Lee, the gov ernment refusing to sanction the terms proposed by him. The terms of surren der as proposed by Gen. Sherman, it is stated, were submitted by Jeff. Davis to each member of his Cabinet for written opinions as to the construction to be put upon it. The following is an extract from the letter of the Confederate Post master General, Mr, Ragan : "The agreement under consideration secures to our people, if ratified by both parties, the uninterrupted continuance of the existing State governments; the guarantees of the Federal Constitution, and of the Constitutions of their respec tive States ; the guarantee of their po litical rights, and of their rights of per son and property, and immunity from future prosecurions and penalties for their participation in the existfng war, on condition that we accept the consti tution and Government jof the United States, and disband our armies by march ing the troops to their respective States, deposing their arms in the State arsanals, subject to the future control of the Gov ernment, but with the verbal under Standing that they are only to be used for the preservation of peace and order in tho respective States. It is also to be observed that the agreement contains no direct reference to the question of slav ery, requires no concession from us tn regard to it, and leaves ic subject to the Constitution and laws nf the United States and of the several States, just as it was qeforc toe war." fpst-OfOce Changes in Kansas.

It is gratifying to see the business ele ments ot Kansas City again arousing themselves to protest against the quar tering of all the. savage tribes ot the plains in our fruut ifuor yards.-arid, if possible, to avert that calamity. . It is the manifest policy ofthe government to 'quarter all the Indians together, and release as much as possible ot the fertile west to white men and white civilization. And to such a policy there can be no ob jection, provided the spot selected be not one that divides the states and inter feres with commercial relations. No se lection that could be made would dam age the West so much as that ot the In dian Territory. It lies directly across the highway ot commerce between the Missouri valley and the Gulf, and while locking up to savage barbarism enough ofthe best country in the West to make two slates, practically closes the com mercial channels of all the balance ofthe West. The Omaha papers are demand ing the removal of the Indians from Ne braska, and particularly from the Niob rara valley, on the ground of the great fertility of the country they occupy there, and the want of it for homes for white men. This argument has its potency and merits consideration in the case of that state, but it has greater force when ap plied to the Indian territory, tor it is much more fertile than the Niobrara valley, is greater in extent, has a much finer climate, a more varied production. and is much more courted. Besides this the Niobrara valley does not lie across the commercial pathway of any body, and to leave the Indians there will cause no further damage than to locK up a com- Caratively small extent of country to arbarism, while the Indian territory lies across the commercial pathway of the whole West, and to lock it up, dam ages all other portions, which damage will, in the case ot iNcDrasica, dc more than the loss of the Niobrara valley. Besides this demand for the Niobrara valley there is also a demand- for the eold mines in the Black hills beyond, a demand, as the members of the board of trade aptly termed it, of "a tew roving gold hunters." But, we are asked, if the Indians can not be allowed to remain in the Niobrara valley and the Black Hills, and cannot be provided with homes in the Indian territory, where are they to go. We do not regard it as very material where they goto, if they are to remain barbarians; in that case they must continue to go to keep ont of the way of civilized peo ple. If they are to become civilized it docs not then matter so much where they go to they can go anywhere, like other people. There is no objection to them remaining in the Indian territory, if they be allowed so much country as will meet the requirements of civilized life, and the balance be opened to other civilized people. It is not the presence of the Indian that is objected to, but the policy of- setting apart vast areas of country for them to roam over and main tain a savage life. That the present condition of the Indians is miserable nobody pretends to dispute. The superfine humanitarians who would lock civilization out of the Indian territory concede that the great need of the Indians is civilization. And they have been making efforts in that direction ever since the settlement of the continent The only question should be, how can civilization bo best imparted tn them. It certainly cannot be done at all so long as they arc excluded from civilized observances and customs. To nut them upon a reservation bv them selves and allow no association with the hites except the lower cla, as has bwn the cose heretofore, issimply tn pro vide for engrafting upon tnem all the vices of the white race in addition to their own, and to prevent them from acquiring any of the virtues or better habits of the whites. The effort to teach Indians civiliza tion by such means has proven a failure, as, in the nature of things, was inevitable. To tell a -people of no civilization of the customs and habits of a state of existence they have not seen is nonsense, it does not convey to them any conception of it. They must see it ; must be associated with it, or they will not learn. The only way therefore tocivilizc the Indiansisto associate 'them 'with civilization; they must be surrounded by it. The solution of the whole problem lies in the establishment'of a government over the Indians, the allotment of lands to them as white people own it. and the opening of the country to white people. Were this done, the Indian territory would soon.be filled with intelligent, law-abiding white people; the Indians would be surrounded with civilization, and could soon learn its ways; the coun try now a fertile waste, would become the garden of the west, and the commer cial avenues of the whole western coun try' would be opened. Were this done their presence there would not lie a dam age to tho country, and would be a great benefit to them. But to fasten them there, lock white people out, and stop up commercial avenues, is a most disastrous blow at western prosperity, and confines the Indians tonomadic barbarity for all time.
