Answers 70 Corrsspondsnt,.

We take this occasion to briefly reply
20 some letters of inquiry which we have
received Of late.
j. B., Okto.-White Cloud is not one
Of the so-called political towns Of Kansas
THAT is, it was not founded by one GER
tain political party, to be sort of head
quarters or stronghold for them. 1t is
true. one party has large majority here,
but that just happens so-it has not been
brought about by any special efforts to
that end, by any one interested here. All
good, industrious citizens are welcome,
no matter what is their politics, or where
they are from. Your business would do
well here.
s. p, PeNnsyirdnia.-There is plenty
Of wood on the White Cloud town site,
and almost every kind of building mate
rial right here. Most of the trees are
oak. which is Just the stuff for sills, joists
and studding. There is also considerable
walnut, which will make frames and
just over the river, opposite town, is any
amount of cottonwood and walnut, for
siding and shingles. Linn and elm are
not scarce. The clay here makes excel
lent brick the best of sand is found in
the bluffs near town the building stola
near the landing cannot be beaten and
it is found, by trial, to make excellent
lime, which many have heretofore thought
it would not do.
N. j. c., MinOis.-You want to know
If there is any "sickness" here. Sick
ness-what is that !! We have inquired,
but few remember what that is. One
person, who has better memory than the
rest, says he believes it means to lie in
bed, have a man with pair of saddle
bags come and feel of your wrist, make
you stick your tongue out, and pour nasty
stuff down your throat To speak pretty
near the truth, we believe a number Of
persons did bring remnants of the dry
cough, " shakes," and liver complaint,
along, but they were unable to keep these
curiosities long. after arriving here.
II. A. B., Nrginia.-Coal is found, in
any quantity, seven or eight miles from
here; and indications of it have been dis
covered on the town site. The person
tou inquire about, whom you say went
to Kansas, we are not acquainted with.
Kansas is several miles in extent, and he
may be in another part of the Territory.
j. L., Indiana.-You might ford the
River at this placc-likc Pharaoh fOrded
the Red Sea If you want to bring a
team here by land, we have very good
ferry st this placement Spring, we ex-
psct 10 have steam ferry-boat.
Other correspondents win be attended
10, hereafter.

The ISDrANs.-We must not neglect
to say something about our dusky neigh
bors occasionally. We notice that many
of them are beginning to dressmore after
the style of civilized life than heretofore.
One came to town last week, dotted his
blanket and leggings, and purchased
suit of store clothes and a fur cap. BE
could not get the hang Of them rightly,
but straddlsd about like three year old
sonny with his first pair of breeches onl
We also learn that some Of the warri-
ors are becoming more polite towards
the squaws. They used to ride and make
the women walk. But now, when man
wants to sell pony. he win put his wife
on its back, and mount horse himself,
and come to town. When he starts home
again. he win place his squaw on the re-
naming horse, tie the extra saddle behind
her. and walk BY her side. But as soon
as he gets out Of sight Of town, he kindly
makes her dismount. and lug the saddle
home on her back, while he ridesI

Marcus j. PARRoTT.-The election Of
Marcus j. PARROT may be considered set
tied. His majority was so tremendous that
even fraud conld not succeed in counter
balancing it. Whatever may be the re e.
suit of the Territorial election, it is graf
flying to know that we shall have in Con-
gress a Delegate representing the Free
State sentiment. who viii be wakefnl and
vigilant, ever alive to the interests of
Kansas, conversant with her wrongs and
earnest in pleading her rights and neces-
sites. We congratulate the citizens of
Kansas on the success of Mr.. Parrot. 1t
is victory sufficient in itself to repay
the Free-State party for the labor and ex-
pense of the late campaign. 1t Will sat
isfy the great free North of the actual
majority of the Free State forces, and
satisfy them that, under fair apportion-
ment, we would have swept everything
before us in the Legislature.
We have heard it intimated that let
MIR. PARROTS majority be what it may,
he will fail to receive the certificate of
election. Although we are ready to be-
lieve almost anything of our officials. we
can neither accept nor put confidence in
such report. The outrage would be too
fragrant for even Gov. Walker to perpe-
trate.
1t is our opinion that Mr. Parrot viii
be elected BY upwards of 5000 majority:
that be will obtain q seat in the next con
grsss, and be the first delegate who ever
fairly represented the sentiment ofKansas.

BAREFAcED SwSDLNG.-By the recent
failures and suspensions vast numbers of
persons having money deposited in the
sinking concerns have been losers, and
not few have been badly crippled in
their financial calculations while some
have been utterly ruined. We hear of
some instances Of these rotten concerns
receiving heavy deposits up to the very
hour Of closing never again to open. This
is done too on the part OF the baker with
full knowledge that the money he is re-
ceiving viii never be paid back. We
care not in what light the law regards
such transactions the community deems
them theft. The Legislature should make
it felony for bank or banker to take
money on deposit after It has become
