it NAV be remarked that the present Congress has
been at work more hours than when the sessions
~ ere extended to August and September. Two
months were lost by the House in the election of a
Speaker; but never, within our experience, has
more business been matured in the same length of
time. In the House there have been reported
nearly nine hundred bills, and in the Senate five
hundred and forty-three. 1t is true many of these
will have to go over to the next session. but few
days devoted to the private calendar will reduce it
to manageable dimensions.

from Texas and Arkansas, of June 7th state that
the prospect of very large cotton crop is hatter-
ing. In Arkansas, corn also looks well, but wheat
and oats doing poorly; the latter especially, it
is feared, will prove failure. Fruit of every kind
promises an abundant yield. From Texas, the re
ports OF other crops than cotton less encourage
ing. There is great need ofrain, and all accounts
agree that the corn crop will be complete failure
in most sections OF the State, without rain In
few davs. One correspondent writes: ''The pros
meet for rain has been good for a few days, but |
tnar il is gone" The dropth prevailing in Texas
also extends northward throughout Kansas.

From a letter in the St. Louis Republican of the
4th inst, from Leayenworth, we extract the fol-
lowing:
The death of A. G. Ford, a lawyer of Denver
City, at the hands of the Secret Vigilance Com.
mittee, is generally known, but the manner and
circumstances have not before been made public,
owing to the secresy in which his executoners
! saw fit to veil their doings. The following account
is from reliable authority, and is no doubt true:
Ford, at the time of his death, was passenger
in the express coach, on his way to this place,
either to assist in defending young Gordon or
to appear as witness for the defense. When
about six miles from Denver the coach was stopped
by number OF men in disguise, and Ford was
ordered to get out. He complied and the coach
drove on After it was out of sight his captors told
him their purpose, and started with him away from
the road, toward the bank Of the river
Ford resisted them, and showed fight when the
leader ordered his men to present guns, and in a
moment several fire arms were bearing point blank
upon his body, then he concluded to submit and
proceed. They carried him few miles to the
bank of the river, when he was told to prepare to
be shot. Ford, seeing they were in earnest, re-
quested one OF them to attend to some directions
| concerning the disposition of his property; and
also to take his watch and leave it in the hands of
a certain person in Denver. The reply to these re-
quests was that they would attend to no business
| for him that they would leave his body with
everything upon it, but would pin paper to his
| clothing containing any directions he might wish
to leave. In few moments after this conversation
| ne was shot, ana tne party mounting their HOfseS
disappeared in the direction of Denver. When
Ford was fouud, his watch was untouched, and
upon his coat was pinned slip of paper with the
words, Executed by the Vigilance Committee y
| His body was perforated by six buckshot and one
large bullet The Vigilance Committee had indubi-
table evidence that he was connected with the
large band of horse thieves and murderers, who in
Tested the country. He hailed from Council Bluffs
| Iowa, where he had considerable property. In
that place he bore q very fair character. He is
buried on the left bank of the Platte about six and
a half miles below Denver His grave is known to
but few, and the grass of another season will OBJ
literate all traces of recognition which that few
may possess--the sod being carefully cut and re-
| placed over his last resting place.
