a trick or two in the line of crookedness,
and "for ways that are dark and tricks that

called the attention of the government to
the condition of the army in that province,
it lias tnrntd out that peveral thousand
men have been carried along on the pay
rolls for several years past, who had no ex

money to pay them has been regularly
drawn from the treasury, and none of it

Ik the reiiort of Saturday' proceedings
of the Kansas Senate, we find the follow
ing: Senate bill 4 1. An act to provide for the
better protection of jeople who assemble in
public halls, hotels or public places of en
tertainment, and places of amusement in
the Stale of Kansas. Passed.
It is to be hoped that the House may le
able to f pare time enough from its investi
gaticg business to pis this measure and let
it beccme a law. Ve have not seen the
bill, and, of court, cannot spent of its de
tail', but regulations of this kind are being
adopUdin ill other States, nrd nowheresre
they more needed than in Kansas. People
who attend places of public amusement and
entertainment have a right to demand that
reasonable provisions shall exist for their
escape, in care of fire or panic.

A recent decirion by the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania, upon the law of libel, as
it now exists in that State, has shown the
necessity for a change, and a bill for that
purpose has rtcent'y been introduced ia the
State Senate. In referring to this fact the
Philadelphia P.ess, of the 21st, rays:
The subject is an important one, involv
ing on the one hind the right of free criti
cism on matters proper for public informa
tion, and on the other the protection of the
reputation of the citizen from the assaults
of a t-ensalional and unprincipled pro's
It is not easy always to harmonize ihee
conflicting lulere-its and eludes. Ibe liber
alization of tie Jaw of libel has b.ea hlow,
chiefly from a natural jealou-y of the enor
mous power of the prcta as conlra'ted with
that of the citizen. It i, on the whole, we
think, true iliat public thought has d
vanceel in this country on llm subject an
rapidly as a due rtgard for private
right" has warranted. And it is also true
that the great st obstacle to a further de
velopment, in tie direction of liberality, is
in the recklessness of a lurlion of the j ress,
which, for purees of sensation and ina
hungry hunt for vie inis, has awakened in
the public a Fccse of the dangers which lie
Whind the privilege As the press I roves,
ty the principles which govern it, by the
rectitude of its purpoeer, and by the un-Ifi-.hre8
of its aims, its fitness far en
larged authority, we have no doubt that a
friendly sentiment will bid it welcome to its
wiJer Held of employment.

The Xxth Ameican Jlerittc,i:T March,
has a svinposiuni upon Negro Suffrage;
that is, a series of interviews vilh dis
ticguibhed gentlemen, upon this subject.
The oticstions, "Is negro suffrage a failure,"
and "Should the negro have been enfran
chised," are projionndcd by Senator Blaine,
who claims that the negro was wifely and
jallv enfranchised, and should not be de
prived of his right to the ballot, but that
he is practically disfranchised by intimida
tion; and he demands lor him all of the
privile-grs that have been granted him by
the constitutional amendments. Messrs.
Lamar, Stephens and Hampton insist that
the political lilerty of the negro is not
K-riou-ly inteiferred with, ard argue that if
the South 1 let alcne all cf the difficulties
growirg out cf emancipation will adjust
themselves. Hampton says that a qualified
kuflragc would have been better for the ne
gro, and Stephens tTeclarcs that if an at
tempt should be made to deprive the South
ern Stales of their present represen
tation in Congress on the plea
that the negro is not allowed to
vote in accordance with his convictions, it
would be the most wanton qutrage that
ever was undertaken in any country. Mr
Ulair takes the ground that 2vrgro Suffrage
is and always must be a failure, and instan
ces the trial made with the blacks in the
"West Idies by the English. "Wendell
Phillip asserts that the colored voters have
exhibited as much wisdom in politics as
lisrve their white neighbors, and that the
South was letler governed under the negro
rule than it has since been under the white
legilation. Gen. Garfield thinks that col
ored suffrage has been more than fairly
successful, and say" that the era of peace
and good feeling will come only when the
negro shall be allowed to cast his ballot
without interference of any kind.

IxATEXWonTn, Feb. 22, 1STD.
Mb. Editor: This being the anniversary
of Washington's birthday, it is cot out of
time to call your attention to the following
item taken Irom the proceedings of theState
Senate of our State :
The following joint resolution was sgrecc
'upon in the Senate as a substitute for any
and all bills lelatirg to the liquor traffic,
nnd upon its third reading today passed
the Senate unanimously :
"The following propo-ition to amend the
constitution of tic State of Kansas shall be
submitted to the electors of the State for
adoption or rejection, at the general elec
tion to be held on the Tuesday succeeding
the first day of November, A. 1). 1S79.
Proposition Article 13 shall K itmendtd
by adJinz section 10 thereto, which shall
read as follows: The manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors shall bs forever pro
hibited in this Slate, except for medical,
scientific and mechanical purposes.' "
If this be passed by the Hone and sub
mitted to the electors of the State, and es
pecially if appended to the the Kepnblican
ticket, it will of course be adopied. Th
saJe of intoxicating liquors shall be
forever prohibited in this State, except for
medical, scientific and mechsrical pur
poses." There arc yet some old fissioned people
in this State of many different denomina
tions who believe in "worshiping God ac
cording to the dictates of conscience;"
part of that worship consists in the us of
wine in tbe sacraments of the church. If
such worshippers or the ministers of their
churches purchase wine for such use they
become violators of the organic law as pro
posed. Tbe Hill of Itignts. Sec. 7, of the
present Constitution provides that "the
right to worship God according to
the dictates of conscience shall
never be infringecL'' Is it proposes to abro
gate this provision of our Constitution?
JtUnt '-'jfST
Are the wise Senators at Topeka aware of
what they are doing? Shall the right "to
weship God according to the dictates of
corscience" be taken away to suit the liquor
fanatics of the Sate "I pause for a

According to reports from Cincinnati the
financial troubles cf Archbishop Purcell
appear to iccreaic by later developments.
Tbe trctees appointed some time ago to
receive and nudit claims decline to make
public a statement of the amount already
filed, but at a recent meeting of the clergy,
at which the Archbishop presided, he sta
ted that claims had already been filed
amounting to S3,C0O,OCO. AH echemes for
his relief having apparently failed, an effort
will be made by a committee of Roman
Cnholic clergy to have the State laws mod
ified so that a lottery scheme will be inau
gurated for Lis benefit. Their sucks?, how
ever, is considered doubtful in Ohio. Irish
Catholics also complain that no relict has
been rendered the Archbishop from the
Germm churches, while the latter ask thit
a full statement of his wants be made pub
lic first.

important matters to men that we have
reason to believe will sell us cut for the
purpose of promoting their own interests
who don't cire what becomes of the over
burdened tax-payers cf the city, a3 long as
they can feather their own nests or to
men who will work honestly and conscien
tiously to reduce our burdens, and who will
seek to compromise the public debt in the
interest of the people, rather than in the
interest of the syndicate. So far, all the
candidates we have heard of belong to the
former class and arc seeking effice for the
purpo of carrying out schemes of personal
aggrandize rrcnt.

Telegraph office nt Topeka for refusing to
deliver to a committee copies of dispatches
in his hands, the Chicigo Tribune of the

imprisonment for refusing to disclose the
contents of the dispatches that parsed
relative to tbe recent Senatorial contest
As the manager acted under the instruc
tions of the Company, itis now the duty of
tbe Company to defend its fgent, and to
make a test case at once before theSupreme
Court upon the merits, that it may be judi
cially determined whether a legislative
committee has any more right to seize pri
vate dispatches than it has to seize private
letters. It is time that some decision was
reached in tbe mitter, that the public may
know whether private communications by
telegraph are to be protected against the
periodical raids of mousing laliticians.

Anjell, the confidential clerk of ralace
Ctr Pullman, who absconded last July
with S120.000 of his employer's money
having been discovered and captured in a
foreign land, has been brought back to the
scene of his former operations, to stand
trial, and rerve out a term in the States
prison. In an editorial upon his return to
Ch'cigo, the Iatar-Occan, after reviewing his
operation, says :
Men tf Argell's tastes and habits will
find in the brief story of his wandering-,
prompt arrest, and speedy return, food for
thit sort ot relltclion that ought to te.1 to
reform. The logic of events is plainly
sgnict the man who, as a trusted friend
and emplove, betrays trust and abuccs con
fidence. Mr. Angell says Mr. Pullman was
the best friend he ever had. When he
found that be was involved, through faults
of his own, to the extent of S40.C00, he did
not think of his friend or an effort to re
trieve himself. Taking advantage of his
Kk-ilion and privileges he stole $50,000
more and absconded. Now he takes a
philosophical view of the situation, and
accepting punishment as just, talks hope
fully of the future, on his release from
prison. His philrtophy comes too late.
The time for Cool reasoning and talk about
the future was in July last. Then friends
might have helped him, and be might have
regained his lost fortune, and have broken
airay from vicious habits. Now friends
cannot help him, and to a man guilty of
such a crime the future ha certainly Dot
much proini-e.

The Boston Gtmmerdal Bulletin, of last
week, has an interesting article interest,
iog as well to those who borrow as to those
who lend dicu,-sing the important ques

ites the fact that where seven, eight, and
ten per cent, were once readily paid for the
use of money, three and four per cent, can
LEAVENWORTH
ba obtained now only with some difficulty
and argues that the cause of this is not tbe
dull times, nor the depression of tie indus
tries of the country, which it believes lohave
been greatly overstated, but is owing to the
decline of prices. It illustrates its posi
tion as follows :
Here is a mill with a capital of 51,000,000,
three-fourths of-sbich is invested in its
plant, leaving S250.000 of free capital for
carrying on business. To stock its mill
with cotton would have nquired seven
years ago, say, S200.000, and to carry iu
rtock of manfactuied good", asmuch more.
To begin with, here is a necessity of borrow
ing S150.000. Resides, in disposing of its
goods it took the notes of cutomers for
$100,000 more, which often wtnt into the
bank. What are the requirements of the
same mill to-day, to keep it in the same
condition and do the same work ? For the
year 1871-72 the average price of middling
upland cottiin was about 20 cents per
pound. To day it is selling at aboul half
price.
What doe that mean to tbe money len
der? This that the mill which needed
$200,000 for the purchase of a stock of co;-
ton in lb72, needs only SIUU.WU lor that
purpose now. It means, further, (for the
decline in the cost of manufacturing has
nearly kept pace with the decline in the
price of raw material,) that the mill which
needeil iaw.UW to carrr lis siock oi manu
factured goods in 1S72, now neeJsonly
about $100,000, and with sales of the same
number of yards of goods in the year, it will
have onlv out-half as much trusted out as
in 1S72. "

A Washington item among our tele
graphic dispstchej yesterday morning gave
an account ot a rather animated "scene"
which took place at the executive session
of the United States Senate, Siturdsy after
noon, being a vigorous passage at arms be
tween Senators Conkling and Burcside. A
special to the Cincinnati Gazette of Monday
morning reports the affair as follows :
Senator ConVliop, in the executive ses
sion ye-ierday, lifgan an uncalled for at
tack on Senator Burnide, who was on his
feet in regard to the Rbod Lland nomina
tion. Mr. Conkling rose and charged Gen.
Burnside with trickery on the committee.
The latter was murh surprised, but con
tented himeelf with saying that tbe state
ment was not correct. Mr. Conkling then
r-peited bis afertions, cd apjiealed to the
Senators to sustain him. At this, Mr.
Sncer jumped up and declared that Mr.
Conkling was stating the truth. Gen.
Burnside at length fotir.d it necesstry to ne
very decided largnsge to protect himself,
and at last declared emphatically thit
Conkling was lying. Senator Hoar, in
the chair, attempted to stop him,
rapped to order, and directed him
to sit down, but Burnside, feelirg
himself insulted, took occasion to express
the fervent wish that he had the tongue of
a Blaine in order that he might mske a
fitting reply to the Senator from New York.
This allu'ion to the famous personal attack
of Blain- on Conkling in the House in 1SGG
was a keen thrust lrom Burnide, who went
on further to declare to the Senate tint, in
all his experience, he had never known so
much duplicity and falsehood crowdcl into
any case as had been injected into this one
by Mr. Conkling. The latter was taken
considerably aback at last by the vigor and
courage of Burnide's return strokes. Af
ter some time of mot unseemly conluion,
Burn-ide took his hat and left the chamber.
There is general evidence to the ellect that
Gen. Burnide bore him-elf with more for
bearance than could be cxiiecfed. and only
used his stmrg?t English when it became
entirely jnstifwble to employ it.

Under the above crption, the Boston
Trareller of last Saturday evening has a se
verely s arcastic article npon the conduct
of the Southern whites towards the blacks
of that region. Referring to the situati. n
of affairs as represented by Lamar, Hamp
ton, Stephens and Blair, in their interviews
published in the SvtOi American Hcricw, in
comparisou with the condition cf things
which actually exists, the Trardlc ? ts :
The tilling Southern whites have loyally
a-cepted the results of the war, are pre
pared to stand"by the amei'druents, and de
sire todo everything they can to elevate ths
n-gro and make him happy. They are the
black man's best friends, and tbe black men
recognizing this fact have votd with and
for them with csgerne-s, and would have
done so long ago, if enly General Grant had
taken away the troop, and given them a
sqnare chance to follow their "natural lead
ers," That is whit Senator Lamar ard
Hampton, and Alexander Stephens, and
Gummy Blair, all say in theAiwA American
HttUv. They all love the black man, arf
so glad he is free at.d can vote, anil, bet er
still, that he votes for them every time.
That is the talk of Southern leaders.
Now, for one act of these same men that
speaks louder than all their vords. Mr.
Bruce is a colored Senator of freat intelli
gence and high ehiri t'r. Mrs. Brute,
nis wife, is a lady ot refinement and
cultivat"on, the peer in acquired
accomplihmcnts, as well as in natural
graces, of most of the wives of white Sana
tors. During the session she has a recep
tion day every week at her residence at
Wahirgton. The Cabinet members and
their wives have cilled upon her ; so have
Republican Senators and their wives But
not a single Democratic Senator's wife has
ever entered her door. And a few days ago
a rumor spreid through Washington soci
ety that Mrs. Senator Thnrman had paid
Mrs Senator Bruce a visit, and until it was
authoritatively denied, Mr. Thurman's
Presidential hopes were regarded as forever
blasted. And yet the South cheri-hes no
resentments, has buried all race prejudices,
and is the beet friend tbe colored man has
got. Such pretensions are sheer hypocrisy,
and the Northern people are natural vie
tim3 of humbug if they believe them.

that on some articles it almost interdicted

under consideration. The Mexicans pafd
too much lor the support of their aimy.
Their constitution was modeled after that
ot the United States, and was thought by
some to be superior to it in a great many
respects. Eleven men composed a jury,
and the opinion of the majority constituted
a verdict. There was no chance for
a criminal with a long purse and
high influence to get away and

Mexicans wanted to 0en steam communi

The United States would not give a dollar
to this enterprise, but Mexico would sub
sidize the lines of steamers. She now paid
a bonus of S1.S00 to olc line for every trip.

between Galveston and Vera Cruz would
get the whole Mexican trade. Nearly all
of the hardware used in Mexico came from
Germany, and it had to be tliipped almost
around the world before it reached Vera

agricultural implements. There was great
prejudice against the introduction of these
because it was believed they would throw
numbers of men out of employment.

surprised to find that they could go any

A llrlif notice of ncr Life and Char
acter by "J. D. II."
lltochester (X T.) Express.1
Our city papers contain an obituary no
tice, appropriately expressed:
" Entered into Jest Thursday mornin?,
20th instant, Mary Blossom, wife of the
late William a BIoss, aged SO years."
She commences her 81st year in Heaven.
Her Christian faith was constant, Hon.
William C. BIoss was a remarkable man;
positive, useful, aggressive, eccentric, and
often morally heroic. There was but one
William C Bloss. His nature and hers
were as different as a thunder storm and a
subdued and delightful summer sunset of
blended beauties ; but they were made for
each other. There was but one Mary
Blossom. The force of her character, like
many of the forces of nature, wa seen only
in its effects. Her nature was gentle, loving
and lovable; patient, painstaking, and won
derfully adapted to the domestic relations
in their tenderest and noblest uses. A bet
ter wife or more devoted mother I never
knew. She was an ornament to the high
est civilization. Th best ornaments are rot
showy or gaudy. Their value is in quality
and modest, intrinsic worth. She was a
complete bundle of domestic virtues.
A war incident occurred, which, during
her life, I have carried asa hidden treasure
in my heart. Now that both have gone away
from us to their Heavenly Home, I can re
late it to some extent.

tive of our William BIO--S. the shrieked.
' Of course he is ; he is my William !" and
tottered toward tbe door. " I met her at her
gate, and led her in the house, and now
recollect, as if it were yesterday, that
mother's wail over her dear dead boy, her
William ; her soldier boy who had given
his lif and her heart's treasure to hicoun
try. I cannot repeat all this woe. It is
too sad. But I never honored her husband
more for any one act, than I honoted him
then.
He strode the parlors, a volcano of pent
np suffering. Not a sound or sigh escaped
him, that he might not add a psng to the
grieving, bleeding heart of his wife, whose
grief he respected mjre lh;n his own. That
scene told tf his dee; devotion to her more
than language cn dt-cricv. It is a singu
lar fact that William's wire persistently re
fused to admit tint her husband wa dead
"No," she said, "William is not dead ! He
and I will live together many years yet."
The fact vindictteil her faith, ne had
been shot and left for dead, but is jet alive.
Intercourse with the family brought wiih
it a sweet- seo of a hppy home. Mrs.
Blos's home influence was blersed and gen
tle, distilling a loving kindness on all about
her, which can only be understood by those
within it reach. I cannot put it in words.
No language is appropriate but that which,
"insilence speaks." Tbe aroma of her
home life is grateful to survivors; and her
gentle, wise ways and teachings are illus
trated in the children whom she reared.
To them it is a precious thought, that they
and their children were b'csings to her.
Some of t!iee she leaves on earth; others
she meets in the heavudy home. Always
making her home happy, her home life
cow is blessed in celi-tial glory, snch as
mortal pen cannot describe. J. DH.

Amos Chapman, the scout and interpret

several conferences with the prisoners.
Amos speaks the Cheyenne language fluent
ly, and well understands their sign talk.
The prisoners say they are treated well,
have plenty to eat, but have no suar for
their coflee. This delicacy has since let-n
furni-hed them. They want to st.e (heir
wives and pappocs-s.
The conversttiou was made with O'd
Crow, who is rather an intelligent Indian.
There was much of the talk not particular

tolerably well contented. Ihey know what
they are incarcerated for, hut say other In

others, were killed since that lamentable

were well pleared to meet Chapman, and
Old Crow, especially, who converted tvith
him freely and good naturtdly. Ncseof

BE PLEASANT WAILS EATING,
(lion sc-keeper.J
Everybody should plan to have pleasant
conversation at the table, just as they hive
good food. V little story-telling, a little
reulirg, it may be of humorous things, an
ecdotes, etc, will often stimulate the joyous
elements of the mind and cause it to act
vigoroj'ly. Try and avoid going to the
table all tired cut. Lt all troublesome
topics be avoided. Think anil sty some
thing pleasant. Cultivate mirth, and laush
when anything witty is said, if possible.
never eat alone.
THE FARM OWNERS ARE INTERESTED.
Exchange.)
Many little farms well tilled, with many
industrious, sober farmers to till them con
stitutes the highest degree of agricultural
prosperity. The greater the number of
persons who own land in any community,
the most interest will they take in its im
provement. People who rent lands as. a
rule care nothirg for the soil they work
further than what it will yield them ; but
a man who owr-a wants to see its fertility
and productive capacity kept up, not alone
for his own. but for his children's benefit,
who will inherit it after him.
EARLY CHICKEN".
Kansas Farmer, 19.J
Kansas is a gooel State for fowls, and
ought to be especially so for early broil
ers, the clear, sunny skies have a quick
ening ir.fluer.ee on bees, and our observa
tions go to prove that laying commences
early. If carefully provided with warm
shelters, having southern exposures, and
f.d with cooked vegcteable food, meat and
milk, fowls will lay abundantly in Febru
ary and. commence to set in March. By
proper care, warm quarters and suitable I
foot, toe chickens will keep healthy, crow
rapidly, and be ready for broiling in Mar,
when they find ready sale at gooel prices."

TIMS TO TREFARE FOR FLOWER GAR
DENING.
Cor. Chicago Tribune, 22
Now is the tjme to plan your summer
garden, and by reserving one bed, shaping
it into some geometrical design, acd usic;
your taste in arranging the colens and ach-
yraalhes, and also golden gem, you will be
more than satisfied. If you have one plant
that has lived through tbe winter, cut it in
small piece, and having prepared a saucer
ot wet sand (being sure to keep it well,
place them in it about an inch apart; put
this over a register or on the kitchen reser
voir, anywhere where it will get bottom
ke.t, ani yon will be as successful as any
florist. In less than a wee liny roots will
be formed, and the plants will be ready to
pot in rich soil and be grown in time" for
planting out.
A WAY TO IMTROYE B VD ECTTER.
Cor. Country Ucutleman
In your paper I noticed a simple way of
impro ing butter. Oue I have never known
to fail, is to cut the buiter into pieces of
about a pound each, wrap each pieeet sep
arately iu clean white cloth, then enclo-e
all in n nice white bag or large cloth, and
bur the whole a hot or more in the
ground the deeper the Itfer. Afler a
week or two, accordin to the rancidness of
the butler, unearth, wash carefully, re call,
and it will be found to be sweet and whole
some. 1 have treated butler which was ie
rancid fur cockitg, and when put upou tie
table afler such treatment it could not be
told frum fresh butter.
SELECTING YOUNO TREKH FOR ORCHARDS.
Journal ot Agriculture
Tersons who contemplate setting or
chards in the sprint; should determine scon
whtt their selections shall lie. This is n
matter of too g'eat iuir.rtance to be neg
lected or carelessly attendee! to. A mi-take
here is K) far-reaching in its results that no
ni-tn can afford to make one. Should a
mistake be made in the selection of seed
corn, a parti il or tot tl loss of the crop is
the revult, but the evil may be currectel
next year; but if a mistake is made in the
selection ot an orchtrd and trees nreclio-eti
that prove to be shy bearers or letr o m
paratively worthl-ss fruit, it takes so Itmg
to elecide this matter, and then so much
lorger to correct tie mistake by planting
other trees, that a good part of a loin's life
time will have pa-eed before he wi'l have
such a supply of fruit as he needs and
should have.

DAHLIAS.
Kansas Farmer, 19.1
The best method for raising dahlias from
the se-d is to sow the seed in pots fty iu
March. Place the pots, if ynu have no
green houi-e, in a moderate hotbed, burying
them in tbe bed even with the surface of
the pot. Carefjlly protect from cold,
shide from the sun at midday, and water
with a fin-ly pierced nozzle watering t.
The Kits should lie filbd wiih a light,
stndy compo-t, with sods, pieces of brick
or broken earthenware in the bottom to
afford drainage Plant the seeds a'xrat a
quarter of an inch deep and press the sjil
do n closely over them. Water frequent
ly As soon as the seed leaf is fullv devel-
owd transplant into small pot-, three or
four iu each, and when the plants have
gained sufficient strength, tnnsplant into
tlowi-r bet's iu May when the weath-r has
become sufficiently warm to facilitate tbe
gruwth of tender plants. Care should be
taken not to allow the temperature of the
hotbed to rise too hrj h.
Kansas FRurra.
Ft. Scott ror. Fralrle Farmer, 2i
I saw more fine pears in Fl Scott last
summer than in Illinois in the forty three
years I lived here. Had Birtlett that one
half of them would weigh eleven ounces,
and some twelve ounces each. I belii-ve
ears a more certain crop than apples or
pcches. My trees have been full the three
past seasons. Ihey were dwarfs planted
diep. Are now standards. Blight has not
yet trouble 1 us.
Ihecatalpa does well here, both kinds
The one called most hardy -.rows s'raighe-t.
We have many apple tree, bought of
tree pedolers b-ture we had reliable nurse
ries, that are woth!es, became not adapted
to onr soil and climate.
I find mulching for all small fruits prof
itable, and also in setting large fruit acd
forest trees.
It is well known that Kansas stands high
as a fruit-growi-g State, and that it has
some noted horticulturists; jet, as in all
new States, and in some old ones, we have
men, called good farmers who piy no at
tention to fruit; who don't kcow the varie
ties of the most common kinds.
Our bnsice-s men say that times are
easier. Farmers feel stimula'ed to more
energetic ecdea crs for the coming season.

en- per cent.
The corn crop for 1873 was one billion
three hundred and seventy one bu-hels, an
increase from twenty-nioe millirn burhels

bushels larger than that of 1877, but was
sold about thirty cents per bu-he.1 lower, 10
that the aggregate market value was about
