A Washington correspondent warns r
sons who make subscriptions for United
S nles bond's through national banks which
are designated depositories of the Treasury
to renieinV-r that if certificates of doeit
are indued in the name of subscribers and
not in that of the bink, the subscribers, in
the event of the failure of the bank before
the bonds are received, will have no claim
on the Government, and will stand in the
same relation towards the bank as any
other creditor.

"We copy this morning from the Omaha
Repvilicaa, an article in reference to the
Senior Senator from Kansas, which, our
leaders will all concede, is timely and just
The continuance of Mr. Inealls in the seat
that he has occupied with honor to him

a matter which interests not only Kansas,

as a calamity by the Republicans of the
whole country. Such a course, on the part
of the people of Kansas; would be suicidal,
but it affords us pleasure to know that
there is little danger of such a result. The
people know that the interests of the State
require .ms selections, and it the matter
could be settled by popular vote at least
four-fifths of the Republicans of Kansas
would vote for Mr. Ingalls. His only op
position comes from disaffected politicians,
and ambitious aspirants, who are actuated
solely by a de-ire to secure their own in
terests, and without any regard for the in
terests of the State. Rut the people have
had enough of euch men. They are not
anxious to try any more experiments. They
have a good man, who has been tried and
found true, and they will keep him.

Governor Anlhony.in his speeci in front
of the Ojwra House yesterday evening said :
1 propos- durlrg the cani4lfn tosiak of
thacry, fool I'll, addle brained nonsense
of tlue Oreenback men, and tell the people
the plain truth regarding this question.
If the Greenbackers should develop any
strength in the State, the Governor would,
of course, deny having made this remark,
jtii-t as he denies other expressions when it
tuits his puriioae to do so, aud we call his
attention to it now and ask him to accom
modate us bv denying it while it is fresh,
and while the witnesses may be had
conveniently. Now, while the people re
member it dirtinctlv. we could prove it
with much less trouble than after two or
three years, when the tnoit of those who
heard it will probably have forgotten it.
A Fi:V KXl-..SIAi'ION.
Governor Anthony stated, in his remarks
at the St. John serenade last Saturday
night, that he was not, and never had been
in favor of plscingany prohibitory liquor
las upon our statute books. He made a
similar statement two years ago, and when
the fact was publi-hed in The Tim w his
organs in thoe portions of the State where
the temperance element predominates, in
dignantly denied it.
He also stated on the same occasion
th.t he intended to make a rrcech at
eavenworth in a short time, and explain
away all the charges th! ' -ive been made
c;aint him. We are eIw! to hear him ex-
prtss fch a determination. We have
been trying for a longtime to get him up to
I his point, and have rej-atedly t'fleied hirr
the columns of The Times for this pur-p.i-c.
Bui bet'er lj;e than nevr. aud if he
undertakes it now, or at any time, The
Times will gladly furnish him every fa

The follow icg parsgraph from the Phila

the fact that there is more gold to be de

A suitto determine the right of the Leav
enworth School Board to charge a tuition
fee at the High School will probably be
instituted in a short time, the effect of
which will probably be to discontinue the
High School. Those who want to see the
chool maintained, therefore, had belter
pay the tuition fee, and keep the question
out of the courts.

The Rast is now looking hopefully to the
West for relief from the burdens of "hard

Misery loves company, and we derive a

The Massachusetts Brahmins will hold
their Faneuil Hall convention to-morrow.
The Boston TrauUtr gives the following as
the r-rmrramme that the Butler men nro
pose to pursue toward tbe bolter.-:
Tbe Duller IJimocracy Intend, as tbe lr j.a!
to proceed on tbe theory tbat tne Convention
beld at Mechanic' Hall on Tuesday, was the
regular Democratic Convention for lSTo.aud
tbat Its nominations were daly made, and Its
proper work carried out and completed In
eery particular. They will, therefore, ab
stain, entirely, from tbe gathering at Fain ull
Halt. In support of their position tbe llutler
ltes say that the State Committee's powers do
not include tbe power of adjourning a con
entlon ; tbat at any rate no convention on
ue adjourned until Is Is assembled, and, inks
much as tbe "regulars" contend that the
meeting In Mechanic' Hall was not u con

Philadelphia is an old foggy town, sure
enough. This is a fact that is generally
very well known, but it is forcibly brought
to mind by an announcement in the Timet
of that city last Saturday morning, which
reminds us that Philadelphia hag never had
any Sunday newspapers the day of all
days when a newspajier is most needed aud
most welcome. But it is gratifying to know
that Philadelphia is progressing. The Tima,
which has done so much toward pulling
Philadelphia forward into the present cen
tury, hag commenced a Sunday edition, and
this will force the other papers to do like
wise. The Times says :
In everj'leadlngcity of the Union bat Phi
ladelphia, the supreme necessity for huuday
editlons of first-class dally newspapeis has
long been recognized by publishers ami by
all classes of cltlz-ni, and their wholesome
influence is confessed by their wide circula
tion and exceptional excelleate. In Xew
York, Hoiton, Cincinnati. Chicago, St. Lii!,
San t rancls-o, Louisville and New O.l-uus
the Sunday editions of the leading dally
Journals are their ablest, most entertaining
and most instructive publications. Tbe New
York UrraUl prints quadruple and often
qulntruple sheets ou Sundaj, and advertis
ers of all clas-ea seek that edition as
tbe most widely and carefully
read of all its Issues. The New
York Timet alwajs prints supplements, as do
most of the lloston amd Western dallies; and
it is a notable evidence ot the progress aud
elevation if Amerlean journalism, that ll.e
Sundav editions of established dallies are the
most acceptable newspapers for the family
circle now published lu the country

It is iuiporsibile to set a limit to the
capabilities of this country in the mitter
of production. As new avenues of trade
are opened up, aud new demands made
upon our resources, new districts of country
are brought under cultivation, and tbe
supply keeps pace with the demand. As
illustrative of the prognss of the country
during the last forty Tears, the following
paragraph from the Boston Traveller cf the
"Qih is interesting :
In JW j the late 1. P. F. Degrand, at a meet
ing In raneuil Ilall.nhen tbe enterprise o!
UielloosacTunmi was under consideration,
predicted that within twenty-five years from
that time the Pacific and the Atlantic wuuld
lie connect, d by rail. A joung man at lhe
aamelime ai.d ou the same oecasi n ptedlc
ted that Kuglls.'i colonial produce would be
taken to Kuglaud from the Indies by the
way of Xt-w York aud Boston lu less
than twenty-live years both predic
tions were, fulfilled. In 13'0 it was'pre
dictcd that the great lumber supply
for the United ;staU.s nnj for export
to I'uropo and South American ami
tho West Indies wou d come fnnii
the Cauadas and from the forests oftheGieat
West, Tiiat prediction has been fultllleJ.
The Irish famine developed the fact tbat
the grain resources of this country were un
limited. Tho English government look tho
hint, and the agent of the gov eminent, sent
here to reioit upon the products of America,
gave It as his opinion that the future wants
not only of UugUud but of Kurope lu this re
spect would be supplied from America. That
prediction h is biH:li fulfilled, and l ot
only the great States of the West IhWsldu
tbo Itocky Jlonnlalns but the who.e pacinc
slope are coutribut ng to the necessltlis of
Europe. Four jiars ago It was predicted by
some shrewd Western men tbat Europe could
purchaseilsVeef.niutton.ini pork on the hoof
herocheaper thanelsealiere. Two yesrs of
expo Icnce have shown the truth of the say
ing, aud the United States nrenow exporting
llvo stock at the rate of tllty thousand lie sd
and upward every year; and that prediction
has been fulfilled.
CHEAP DRV GOODS.
With tbe coming ot autumn the stores
make large and attractive displays of new
goods. Later on we shall have opening af
ter opening of suits and millinery, but as
yet little is shown beyond new materials,
and prudent buyers hesitate over all but
standard dress goods, fearful to invest un
til the novelties shall have received the in
dorsement of fashion. Meantine thrifty
housewives are replenishing their stock of
household linen, and ladies who do their
own sewing are busy making up under
clothing before the rush of fall dressma
king begins. There has becn'no rise in dry
goods if money is scarce there has never
been a time when it would purchase more.
"Sjiool cottoa is only a cent dearer
than it was before the war, and calico is
cheaper," complacently observed an old la
dy shopper the other day in our ncann.
Bleached mulin, in serviceable qualities,
begins as low as 41 cents. At tbat price it
is not heavy enongh for wir.er wear, but
answers idmirably for petticoats ard for
ntobt 1-trm.nfl in warm weather. It takes
starch well, and much of it i u-i-d for ,
chamber curtains, for pillow-slips and for j
servants' anrona. That at 8 cents is better.
while the best brands may be had .it from
10 to 12 cents,
American percale, soft finished for the
needle j.iow eviry year in favor, and prom
ises in time lo supercede :h more ex'ien
sive French br-uds. Lidirs who cannoi
wear liuen, and wro dislike rotten, use it
for chemi-es and night-gowus, while its
soft, fine texture makes it putar fur baby
linen. The prievs range fiom 12 to 2o
cen s per yard. Linen at SO cents is heavy,
and fine enough for all ordinary
purposes; thence it rangts upward
into the fine grades ud for babies
and for fancy underwear pf from SI
to $1,50 pery ard. The cheap, coars quili
ties are to be recommended only for lin
ings. Fine percale is much belter at the
same prince. Lonsdale cambric, at IS
cents, is chosen for shirts, and is sufficient
ly good for all practical purposes, though
of course there are ladies who prefer finer
grades and who insist upon underclothing
made from materials almost thin enough
to be drawn through the cambric needle of
the fairy tale.
The stock of house-furnishing goods of
fered is large, and shows a corresponding
reduction in prices. Blankets, all wool,
soft and thick, such as two years ago sold
for $10, are now held at S3 and $5.50. Bed-
spready at $1, coarse woven, in neat pit
terns, and answer well for common purposes
where a fine coverlet is not needed or can
not be afforded. S250 buys a Marseilles
quilt, and thence the prices range up. For
people who like bedquflt there is a novelty
calico in patchwork patera, giving the ef
fect of an old-fashiocei bedquilt pieced by
hand. Comfortables wadded with cotton.

Creek on the Dodge road, ar.d from there
throw odt scouJng parties to intercept the
Indians should they be journeying in that

Som? three dsys after the departure of

receiieti irem i jih. jicnuerorooK, ol lhe
4th cavalry, and in comuiand of the troojis
following the Indians. This dispatch sta
ted that the Indians were only on a hunt

be able In get them back to the Reserva
tion. The Indians and troops went into
camp at Springs, Fouie twenty-two
uu.es from Reno, on the Salt Plains trail.
This iuformatii.il cau-ed the command

and his command. But his troopers were
scarcely in camp long enough to rest, when
a third carrier arrivtd with dispatch, stat

the Indiaus had arrived at that crossing on

killed three cattle men and were killing
cattle for the support of themselves, and

learn that the road Ulnuu this and IWge

possession of the Indians.
The mail was delayed here fur some dajg
and only left yetserday, being protected by
Capt. Rtndubrock's cavalry. The Paymas
ter, Major Broadhcad, has been Iving here
on his return, afraid to move. Thelndians
drove iu Le-e and Reynolds' teamsters last
evening, which caused quite au excitement
in this vicinity. The commanding ofiior
has issued aims and ammunitiou to all
citizens and employes of the Government,
as well as to Lee & Rynolds men.
We had "Long Roll" this morning. The
boys got out without waitiug for the "As
sembly." The latest reports are to the effect that
Indians are guarding the Dodge road from
Buffalo Springs to Bear Creek, and captur
ing all trains and isolated teams that are
so unfortunate to fall into theirhands. The
cavalry, "II," "I" and are somewhere
between this and Dodge City. We cannot
get any information relative to their move
ments. The two companies of the 4th Cavalrv
stationed -.1 Ft. Elliott, are ordtred en the
Dodge roid. One company is expected to
arrive at tliL jsj-t this evening aud will,
in all probabiliiy, escort tho paymaster
through to Dodge City.
The mail has jn-t arrived from Dodge
City S r. Jt the driver reporu the road
clear ot ludiius, that they have ill cro-seil
'westward, or rather norihwesward, and that
j trooja are movirg in the direction of Clina-

try to cross the A., T. t S. F. railroad at

in the Deiuicratic liajiers iu 1SS0: "It
was at ene lime very generally believed
that our distinguished standard-bearer,
Benjamin V. Butler, while in command at
New Orleans, appropriated lo his own use
a lirge quantity of silverware, belonging
to the p-oplc of that citv. We have since
made a thorough investigation of the facts
in the case, and are now convinced that
Mr. Butler, was in this matter made the
victim of gross and malicious libels. He
was a brave defender of his country, anil
his j-ersonal honor was not tarnished dur
ing the whole struggle by a single act of
which his supporters need now be ashamed.
L'vtn his violent Abolition practices can be
excu-ed, because of the stern necessities of

Kvery Democrat in the land can go to tbe

The ingenuity of New York liquor sell

which were not hotels, they simply made
hotels ot them by putting in a few cots or

"Inn." Now they bonnce into exuberant
joy over somebody's discovery that they
may freely sell for medicinal purposes, and
it is announced that every grog-shop will
become a pharmacy for the relief of the dis

discovery announced, and the order given
for painting great numbers of new signs, be

Three cf our state neighbors, Missouri,
Kansas and Colorado, have each at hand a
season of senatorial elections. The selec
tion of a United States Senator is not a
matter of mere local or state interest. It
scould be a matter of grave national con
cern. It often happens, however, that these
elections are mere personal struggles be-
ieeuiuuiviuuais, in wuicn tne public lias
little interest, for none of the candidates
rise above a very moderate mediocrity.
Iu Missouri, for instance, the wincing
man among the numerous candidates, will
doubtless be he who pays best homage to
the intense rebel spirit now dominant
there.
In Colorado thereig a partLan interest
forit is by no means certain whether the
legislature will be Republican or Dimo
cratic If, as we hope, the Republicans
succeed, there will be a stnggle among
new men for lhe position. In such a strug
gle the outside know little of the metits
and take little interest.
.Not so in the Kansas Senatorial election
There John J. Ingalls is to be, or ought to
oe elected tor Ms second term. In his
election the jieople of the country at large
have an interest. The West has reason to
beproudof him. Although the Senator
ship is his first important official position,
he is fairly entitled to be ranked as one of
the statesmen of the country. In some re
spects he is without a superior in the
beuate.
Looking down from the gallery upon
that body in session, a stranger would sure
ly select him as one of the remarkable men
there. His tall, lithe, erect figure, clear
cut features, thorough knowledge of parlia
mentary law, and success as a debater
where krowledge, natural commaLd of 1-in-guage.literary
culture, wit and sarcasm are
requisitesof such success these, aud other
characteristics combine to make him a
prominent character in the L'nit.il States
Senate. As a presiding officer, he has no
superior. Though not a frequent siicaker,
he is always clear, forcible, effective, schol
arly, sometimes elegant and eloquent. He
is ajso a faithful worker, attentive and ef
fective as a committeeman. As chairmau
of the committee on pensions, he has been
idefatigahle in urging just claims for pen
sions, an I at the same time watchful to
frauds. He is too, a genuine western man,
imbued with western ideas aud bound up
with western interests.
Wc know little of Kansas nolitics. do rot
know what opioition, if any, Mr. Ingalls
has. Like all Iiorder States, wo doubt not,
ho.vever, that Kan-as has many ambitio'is
men who will struggle for the senatorial
prize. She may hive seme, who with the
six years experience which Mr. Ingalls
has, would make as u-cful a Senator. But
we are sure has no man for whom she can
afford to exchange Senator Icgalls. 1" -six
jears service in the Senate has hui
prepared him now to occupy a tuition of
still more commanding influence in the
Senate. It rtquires one term's service at
lean to demonstrate tho true mettle and
caliber of the man. ,,
The second term is far more valuable to
himself, to his conti Men's, to his country,
than the first. The south learned and act
ed upon this years aco. The grand secret
of their control of the country for the long
years prior to lCO has been their policy in
this matter. The experienced few lead
and control the inexperienced many in any
parliamentary bedy. We trust therefore
that Kansas, for her own interest and for
the interest of the west and of the country,
will honor hen-clf by giving Mr. Ingalls a
generous and triumphant endorsement.

Crop Kuniniary.
Kipt. of htatc Board of Agriculture, con
densed by tbo Commonwealth.
While we fully appreciate the general
desire for an authoritative statement as to
this year's aggregate wheat product, and
question the ultimate good to lie derived
lrom the several estimates now going the
rounds of the press, we cevertheless shall
continue the course heretofore adhered to,
of awaiting the receipt of returns from the
entire State before attempting a statement
of the crop. We will say, however, that
from the rettirus already in, there can la-
no question of the aggregate of the wheat
crop exceeding thirty millions of bushels,
ulule that of corn will exceed one hundred
million bushels, and other croiw in propor
tion. From eighth in wheat product in
lotb, Kansas will go to second, it not in
deed to first place in lS, the litest reports
from Calilornit indicating an aggregate of
little if any in excess of thirty million
buhels.
The tables show CSS.813 more acres in
wheat this year than last.
There was, in winter wheat, in 1S78, 1,
207,333 acres against 857,125 last year.
In spring wheat, this hear, 133,257 acres
agiinst 20,8C0 last year.
One of the most instructive tables (to us)
is the one showing by counties the numlier
of acres of wheat and rye.winter killed and
killed by noxious inects There were win
ter killed of wheat, 3 112, and killed b
noxious insects, 1,235 acres.

acreage, there being 2,'05,1S2 acres in corn

behave a greenback party in Butler
county already organized, and we suppose-
" '' the intention to nominate a county
ticket. This is all right, and nobody will
object. Thre are plenty of first-clan men
in onr coanty who belong to the Green
back party, and who have faith in it plat
form. Then, again, there are some new
convert" who propose to use the party
to advance their own selfish
purpose. If the Greenbaet'tvairty puts in
nomination a ticket composed of hometf ea
jnUe men, it will do no harm if they are
elected.
But, on the other hand, if the Greenback:
organization allows its party management
to fall into hands of rogues and thieves,
much harm may result therefrom.
We would prrer to see Bepublieaae elect
