Yesterday we showed from the official
records that the Medil administration left
as a legacy to the republican party, out
standing debts, for the payment of which
no appropriation whatever had been made,
of $5l5,9l5.75. Upon inquiry this morn
ing at the Auditors office, we find that the
above figures only represent the amount of
the MediIl debt which was actually paid
by the Republican administration during
the year 1856. There are yet outstand-
ing and unpaid of these Medill debts up
wards of One hundred thousand dollars,
which the Legislature at its last session
had to provide ways and means to settle
and pay off. Such are a few of the facts
connected with our State finances when
the Medill dynasty was driven out and the
Republican administration came in
Without materially increasing out tax levy,
and by cutting down useless expenditures,
the Republicans, in the first year of their
power, paid off over halfa million of the
Medill debts and this year they will pay off
one hundred thousand dollars more, and
square the accounts. Such are some of
the fruits of the wise and economical ad-
ministration of Gov. Chase.-O. S. Jour
nal.

Atthis time all persons are prophesying
relative TO the coming fruit crop. Not to
be behind, we here insert our prediction
as follows:
OF Strawberries, there will be an abund-
ant crop.
Of R~asp5erries, there will be a two
thirds crop.
Of Cherries, there will be an abundant
crop wherever there are any trees; but it
must be recollected, that the country has
now, as q whole, only about one-half as
many bearing trees as it had two years
since.
Of Pfums, thers will be just what extra
care and the c~urculio choose to give u.s.
The same with Apricots and Nectarines,
where there are any trees, for be it r~ecolcc-
ted, nearly all of Apricot and Nectarine
trees through the west, were destroyed in the
winter Of 1885,
OF Pears and Ounces, there will be
more than an average crop, but yet not
enough to more than half meet the demand.
OF Peaches, the show for fruit was never
better; but unfortunately it is in only Ger
tain localities or occasional positions in gar
dens, that any trees Of bearing age are left
from the severe winter of 1886. ALI
along the Lake Shore and some. high por-
tons at THE West, as well as in all or near
ly all the Eastern orchards, the supply will
be abundant. At st. Louis and there
abouts, VIC are formed the crop is destroy
ed. -
OF 4pples, last named, but by no means
least desirable-there will be about one
half of the crop usually grown, for this is
not the bearing season for apples, and an
examination of one hundred different trees
and sorts will, we think, satisfy any one
that there is not more than one-half the
number, of blossoms geherlly found in a
bearing year. Seeding trees are full, and
some few of cultivated sorts, but the ma
jority of cultivated kinds have only a mea-
ger show of blooms. We look for hand
some f. uit, in moderate quantity Ohio

AKansas Murderer Caught.

Fugitt, the murderer of Hopes, was ar
rested on board o steamer at Leavenworth
on the 9th ult., by the Free State Mayor
Of that city. He was locked in his state
ROOM, which had TO be broken. He tried
hard to make his escape but was securely
seized and taken ashore. He was placed
in Jail under a guard, his feet fastened to
u chain which was bolted to the floor
Judge Lecompt refused to release him on
bail. He is confined in the same room in
which the Rev. E. Mute, of Lawrence, was
imprisoned by Emery's gang, last summer,
during the difficulties.
This Fugitt is the person who bet in
L~eavenworth last August that before night
he would have ayYankee scalp. He got
on a horse and rode out int the country a
few miles and met a German, a brother-in-
law of the Rev. E. Mute, named Hopes.
He asked if he was from Lawrence
Hopes replied that he was. Fugitt i'm
mediately levelled his pistol and fired, the
shot taking effect in the temples, and Hop
pes fell q corpes. The assassin d~ismounted
from his horse, and cut the scalp from the
back of the bead, tied it to the end Of a
pole and returned 10 town exhibiting it to
the people and boasting of his exploit
The body of the victim was found shortly
after and buried on aPilot Knob" about
two miles from that city. This same Fu-
gift was n of the party that, when the
widow came from Lawrence to look for her
husbands corpse, forced her on board of a
steamer and sent her down the river
Now the assassin is in safe keeping, there
is hopes of justice being melted Quito him,
and that he will 1901 suffer for the crime
on the gallows. He wal arraigned for trial
before Judge Lecompt on last Monday
A packed jury may bring in a verdict of
n o gu'lty, but even then he is in danger of
punishment; his ~murderous deeds were too
public, and there are TOO many who saw
him at the time and heard his BOOSTING. 10
have him escape for the want of evidence.
A gentleman now living in Leavenworth
saw him exhibiting four scalps at one time,
during the troubles of last summer. His
trial will be watched with 9 great deal of
interest by the people Of Kansas and Wes-
tern Missouri.

UrAH.-Ths following paragraph indi-
Gates that there will be q demonstration
made against Utah this summer 1t is to
be hoped that no mismanagement on the
part of the administration will mar the
proceedings:
"The force destined for the conquest
and remuneration of Utah will consist of
about $500 men. It will probably lie under
command of Gen. Harvey. The command
will concentrate at Fort Levenworth as
soon as practicable, and will move west
ward as o as the subsistence of the June
floods shall render the passage of tho rivers
practicable. Col. Sumner and the End
Dragons will accompany the expedition.
The arrangement of the details of the move
ment is made by Gen. Scott, who, if he
were young enough, would prefer the ser
vice himself. The 9Th infantry, with the
exception of two companies, will be with
drawn from Florida, were they have been
Intellectually chasing Indians through the
everglades and water waist deep these eight
months. Lieut.. Col. LOOMS will be left
in command there, but the force to be em-
ployed in the final reduction of the Sem
inoles will be eight or ten companies of
volunteers, who will draw their pay and
ratlons with a regularity not Mt all affected
by the exIgenrrs ofthe service.

The Western Land Speculation.

Persons recently returned from the West
state that the tide of speculation at many
of the most important points is already
ebbing. At Chicago, there is a large
amount of property in market which finds
no purchasers, and rents are from 20 to 80
per cent. lower than last year at $500 q
year, are now offered at 800 and find no
tenants at that; ard this, although the pro-
duce of the country brought to market this
spring has paid a much larger profit than
that which ives received up to this period
last year.
1t is a most surprising matter that the
speculations in wild lands and city lots,
where there are such vast quantities of un-
settled territory should have run such riot.
One would suppose that our people had
been through these excitements times
enough, and at diverse points enough, TO
make the folly of them SO clearly seen that
it could never have been repeated again.
The West must fill up with people, but the
visions of wealth and ease there INDUCED
are idle decisions. They who 90 there
must work hard and fare hard, suffer all
the privations incident to new countries,
and their toll brings in but little beyond
sufficient to sustain their families. Of
course, then, there will be but little employ
ment for the hordes of Spectators
and traders who have swarmed in such
mullitudes in the market towns
California was a much moro promising
field than any now opened, and yet we see
what disappointments the spectators have
met there, and the end is not yet. As an ex-
ample of the fall of prices at San Francis
co, a letter dated 18th of April says: ga
Hotel here, once leased at $4,000 q year,
is now letting at $1,000, or ten percent of
the first sum. Think to what disasters a
man might be easily led, predicating his
movements upon the first named income.
Not far from where 1 write there is a build
ing under lease at $50 a month that once
paid 800 q month. But these instances
are uncommon, the ruin and wreck in real
estate long since SO general, that they have
ceased to attract notice.-Boston Traveller.

The Iowa Tragedy.

June lst 1851.

june lst 1851.
Eds. TRIBuNE:-We are in the mids'
Of the deepest excitement ever known IN
this usually quiet community, growing ou'
of the outrageous proceedings OF Jackson
county mob, who have made this place the
scene of their illegal violence. There Is IN
that county an organized Vigilance Com
mittee or body of Regulators, who have
usurped the functions of the Courts and
officers of the law, and are dealing out what
thew call justice in q summary If not an
e~yen-handed manner A party of these
men, numbering about 20 persons, came
over from Jackson county, and at a short
distance from here called a halt, left a squad
to guard their horses and wagons, and, full
" armed, marched into the village and
drew up in front of the jail, sent word to
MI. Buchanan the Sheriff, that they deman-
ded two prisoners in his charge-Barger
and Carroll, confined for murder-for in
slant execution. The Sheriff refused and
attempted to organize resistance to their
demand; but the people were without arms
and not disposed to risk their lives, the
doors of the jail offered but feeble resistance,
and the mob was soon in possession. They
brought out the wrecked men, threw them
into their wagons, and within fifteen min
utes from their first appearance, were on
their return.
We are not informed of the fate of the
prisoners; but there is a rumor that both
have been hung at Andrew Jackson co..
Our community is much infamed, and
though a portion of our more exciteable
population seem to justify scenes like these,
the great majority of the people would
gladly march to the rescue of the prisoners,
if their fate was not already fixed. 1t is
due to the mob leaders to say, that they
restrained their followers from all violence
except what wa necessary to accomplish
their purposes. When a few citizens made
a show of resistance, they were firmly told
that it would only cause the shedding of
more blood and be useless in the end
A part of the Regulators were disguised,
but many of them were recognized and
their names ascertained. They were so
confident in their own strength and SO con-
6dent in the rightfulness of what they were
that they cared little for concealment.
Yours, CLINTON.

The sale of this machine from the time the first one
was built, in 1850, is unparalleled in the history of Now
ing and Reaping Machines, and is in itself the best and
most reliable evidence which can be offered of its merits.
and of the high estimation in which it is held by the
farmers of our country. Mr.. NANNY completed bis first
working machine and brought it into use in 1850. A
glance at the table will show how rapidly it has come
into favor.
