Pres AND MEN.-While so much is
heard Of the Hog Cholera, so fatal to
that animal in Ohio, said to originate in
the swill on which they are fed being so
strongly impregnaied with strycbine, in
order TO make a more remarkable kind
of whiskey. the Ohio Legislature con-
templates framing a law, visiting, with
very severe penalties, those who thus kill
their darling hogs but as long as men
only perished by drinking bad whiskey,
such q law was not considered specially
needed The best whiskey in the world
was made in the secluded locality where
we we're born aud raised,' because it
was made Of corn or rye only and we
remember many persons who drank Old
Bourbon daily, and survived their three
score years and ten. But it is compari-
lively 9 rare thing now, to see regular
liquor drinker beyond fifty years Of age.
Chemists know the reason 10 be, that Ii
quors are 50 drugged with poisonous
medicines in order to save time and ma
lerial, and give them taste, that the in
testines are rapidly eaten away, and the
most iron constitution is able TO resist
their destructive agency bat for few
short years Another fact, not less sug-
gestiye, not only TO Ohio law makers,
/ but all others, Is, thai Of six thousand
persons tried last year before the New

ninety-four were sober when arrested

A SCENE IN THE SENATE.


During the session of the Senate
lew days previous to its adjournment,
when the democracy were attempting to
force a vote upon the Cuban bin, Mr..
Toombs, of Georgia, commenced atirade
Of abuse upon the Republicans, charging
them with eowardice in not meeting the
A correspondent of the New
York Tribune gives the following graphic
account of the reply of Senator Wade,
of Ohio, whose seat adjoins Toombs';
Nearly all eyes had been fixed on
Toombs and Seward-the latter calm
and pale, and looking steadily at his as
sailant But the few who knew Wade
well, had not failed 10 notice his hands
firmly clenched on the arms Of his chair,
his compressed lips and the indeseriba-
BILE air of defiance that sat upon his coun-
tenance. Ere Toombs was fairly in his
seat, Seward, Fessenden and Wade
sprang to their feet. 1t was impossible
for the Chair to assign the floor TO any
body but "the Senator from Ohio for
tue tone in which he pronounced the for
mula, Mr.. President r and the eye he
fixed on Breckenridge, said as plain as
words cauld have uttered it, 81 must and
viii speak"
Wade, who don't fear the devil, turned
square upon Toombs, who knows that
Wade don't fear the devil, and bringing
his fist down within about an inch of
Toombs' nose and heavily upon bis desk,
said, his eye riveting him, and the hot
words kissing through his teeth, " Skulk,
all shiver, do we p
Wade went on, leaping almost from the
floor at every sentence, showing plainly
that though he was able TO reply effec-
lively to the taunts and abuse that fell
from Toombs' lips, he would rather drive
them forcibly down his throat-all of
which Toombs knew, because, once on
time, they being neighbors in the Senate
then as now, Toombs was abusing all
Republicans in the most vituperative
style, when Wade, his hands on the arms
of his chair, ready TO leap TO his feet,
demanded to know, "Does the Senator
include me in what he is now saying p
Upon which the Georgian responded,
q except the Senator from Ohio p
Since that occurrence, everybody thinks
Toombs is willing to give Wade wide
berth.
But, TO the speech. The first sentence
: went straight to the core of the subject,
and all the rest followed it. You sneer
at the homestead bill, because it gives
land to the landless, do you? What is
your pet measure? Stealing niggers for
the niggerless We go to the country
upon it," Land for the landless, versus
niggers tor the niggerless.
That was enough. The galleries had
! seemingly held their breath; Fow, some
feet came down with one determined
stamp upon the foor--a few hands smote
together-but the mass, in gallery and in
Senate, shouted with a mingled roar Of
laughter and cheers-the z resident t
throwing down the gavel in despair.
Having in this phrase, compressed the
: whole argument into the smallest possible
u compass, Wade went on roasting the de-
: mocracy about their "nigger bill,' and
{ satisfying Toombs that be (Wade) was
not much frightened, however it might
e be with him (Toombs) and then he hand
t. ed over the fight to Fessenden.

Especial dispatch to the Missouri DemOcrat-)
Kansas CrrY, August Is.
The Western Metropolitan Extra has
the following:
This Friday. morning, Mr.. Charles
A. Hassler, q merchant at Emporia, ar
rived in this city. bringing news OF an
alarming nature concerning recent attacks
by the Indians upon the settlers OF White
water and Walnut Rivers, in Butler and
Greenwood Counties, Kansas Territory.
The number of Kaw, Usage, and Ca
manehe Indians in that vicinity, is about
s, 000,-al warriors. They have lately
removed from the Little Arkansas. where
they have been collecting for some time
back, for the purpose, it seems. Of driving
back the settlers from the frontier. Some
interpret their motive to be revenge for
the hanging Of the two Kaws at Council
Grove, some time since but this would
hardly seem so. as the point of attack is
some seventy miles distant. 1t may.
however, be plan to decoy the men away
so that the point mentioned will fall an
easier prev. Certain it is that the people
7
at the Grove have anticipated an attack
{ for some time.
! On Thursday morning. 11th inst. a
messenger reached Emporia from the
: Lower Whitewate bringing information
that an engagement had taken place be-
tween the IndianS and whites, near the
town Of Eldorado, in which one hundred
Of the former and FIVE Of the latter were
: killed.
! The same day another messenger arri-
we'd from Chelsea. Is miles above, bring
ing note from Mr. N. S. Stoors. of that
/ place, stating that the town was surrOun-
ded by Indians, and they were mOmenta-
rily expecting an attack. lie appealed
for assistance, in order to get his family
away. That evening company Of fifty
men left Emporia, expecting to reach there
next morning. distance of 80 miles.
A man came to Emporia as our in
formant left, Friday evening. who stated
that he met the company nearly at their
destination, and that no attack had yet
been made upon that plIce.

white people and niggerS to stay in the
Penitentiary together!
Lands are asked for, to aid in the Con-
struction Of Railroads but in keeping
with their we'll known preference for rig
gers over white men, the Republicans have
inserted nothing to prohibit niggers from
acting as brskemen on the cars. after the
roads are built! 1t is terrible to think Of
it. Just imagine. when these Railroads
are built, how it will look to see niger

RAnaoADs,-The subject Of Railroads

RAnsoADs The subject of Railroads
is now beginning to sgitate the minds Of
the people in this portion of the Union
In LeaSe1worth, they have voted loan
Of eI06.9Q0s to aid iE the construction
of q rosd m the direction Of Fort Riley.
They areehsrd at work. either in earnest
or making believe, building road from
Elwood to MerySsille In st. Joseph,
nothing i, talked, thought or dreamed Of,
hut Railroads. The fever is spreading in
this upper ceustrY. The Platte country
Railroad is to'be pushed ahead. and there
is great strife between the friends ofthe river
and inland routes Certain capitalists in
ST. Joseph are utterly opposed to tie river
route, being fearful lest a road along the
river might build up town above St.
Joseph, to compete with her for the trade
of the uPPar, county They seem to think
that Railroads. in the West are only to be
built for the advantage Of St. Joseph !;
and that it is great outrage. il every
road. no matter whether it starts in Mis-
souri,, Kansas. or Nebraska, does not have
a terminus in St. Joseph. This matter
had better be generally understood, SO
that whenever q Railroad is projected,
calculations can be made as to the easiest
and cheapest way to get it to St. Joseph.
The selection Of the route Of the Platte
Country Railroad, we understand. will
depend npon the amount Of subscriptions.
That route raising the largest subscrip-
tion, will get the road. In view Of this,
the people Of the river route have gone to
work; determined 10 secure the road
There is to be a mass meeting at Forest
City, on Friday, the 18th inst, to take the
question into consideration. The people
Of Holt County, and Of the river towns
Of Kansas and Nebraska, are invited to
attend. A delegation and speakers from
st. Joseph are expected. Let the citizens
Of White Cloud turn out. The road will
be important to them. If located on the
river route. it will pass near here, and
place Us within few hours travel OF the
East. besides giving us all the advantages
Of railroad town. There are other i'm
portant considerations, which we shall
name hereafter. Towns and cities every
where are moving to secure railroad facil-
titles and White Cloud should look to
her interests, or she will be left in the
drag.
