After slight furry Of snow, the weather
has cleared of bright aud cheerful, with fair
prospects for three Or four weeks Of warm
Indian summer weather, with lis smoky
skies and hazy atmosphere. All antunns In
Kansas arc blnndly delicious; usually from
SIX to eight weeks Of splendid Indian summer
succeed the genial days of early October.
THE SEASON or MOSQUITOES.
This has been emphatical1y the season o.
mosquitoes; the superabundant excess Of
water on the surface that has fallen In tho
shape Of rain has caused to breed wonder
full surplus Of all kinds Of 'svatmints." In
accordance with the general rule in the West,
these insects arc gotten up ona Megathcrinm
scale. They are still with US in countless
myriads;
And tonight, the mosquitoes, humminG,

STATE POLITICS:
Considerable local excitement exists
throughout the State On matters political.
Tuesdny next members Of the lower House
and county officers are to be chosen. The
issues are all Of a local nature. There Is
but one party Ia Kansas at present. There
is not Democratic paper in, Kansas
not enc Of the nine daiiaes and Twenty-Five
weeklies, but that processes at least to sup
port the Administration. In this (Leayen-
Worth) county there used to be in the halcyon
days Of border ruffianism Democratic party;
but since the war broke out It. has ceased to
exist. Over at Lawrence, in Douglas county,
pieces In the early part of the Virginia cam
pains under Mcclellan, is q candidate for
Register Of Deeds, and he Is Obliged to obtain
afidavits that he has always been Republl-
can, in consequence Of youthful indiscre-
tion Of supporting Mcclellan at the last elec-
tion; such Is the temper Of that loyal and two
years ago massacrcd town. Next fall a sue
ecssor to Gen. Pomeroy Is to be elected to the
United States Senate from this State. He
will be candidate for reelection. He has
recently married wife, but Is willing to 20
hack to the senate- Living at Atchison and not
uumindful Of his interests, Learenworth
claims The E! !senatorship for The next term. The
Judge, and tho Hon. Thomas Osborne, Unit
ed States Marshal, are supposed to be cendi-
dates for this position. Then there arc Gen.
Blunt, Surveyor General Sleeper and one or
two others, who would doubtless accept the
position, if thrust upon them. Lawrence has
the other United States Senator, Hon. jas. II.
Lane, md the only Representative in Con-
gress, Hon. Sidney Clarke, and Of course is
satisfied for the present.
IMMIGRATION TO THE STATE.
The immigration to Kansas this season has
hcen larger than any year since 1871. The
immigrants como principally from Wisconsin,
lowe, Northern Illinois, and few from Miehi-
gan, Indiana, and Ohio. Vast locks Of sheep
hare been driven In, and large additions have
been mhde to b1ooded stock. As stock
raising and Woo1growing State, Kansas Is be-
liered TO be equal 10 any of the Western
States, and IN some respects superior. on &C.
count Of the mildness Of the winters.
THIS sgAsoS's BUSINESS OF A CIT IN THE
FAR wEsT.
Leavcnworth Is the largest city at present
In Kansas, OF on the Missouri river. It has
iull s0, 900 population, f1ye daily newspapers,
t"o German and three American, splendid
Gaihedral, and many elegant suburban rcs'-
ucnces. The STREETS arc Lit with gas, and
street railways are being seriously talked Of:
