WESTERN MISSOURI
Iuauence OF the Climate on Lung
Disease.


10 the Editor of the CleOeIaud LEADER;
As many persons who read the LEADKR
are contemplating a removal to this coun-
try. and are seeking information in regard
to the climate, permit nae TO give them
the experience of a gentleman living near
Pleasant Hill, Missouri, who is well
known and highly respected. 1t will an
swer some important questions. 1t is as
follows:
~ came to Missouri in 1856, as l
thought q confirmed consumptive, but
now think my trouble was Of the throat
and bronchial tubes. Three months OF
exercise in the open air, riding q sur
veying, entirely removed my cough and
consumptive symptoms but q removal
East again brought them on. In 1853 l
returned with my family &c Missouri, SET
ting near Pleasant Hill, in Cass county.
Here 1 was apparently restored to health
and strength within six months, my
health continuing good till after the first
wear of the war, when circumstances COM
| pelled me to move to Indiana, where, IN a
few months my disease returned with such
violence that I was entirely United Ior
business. I then determined, against the
wishes of my friends, to seek again the
heslthful influences of this climate, and
for that purpose Joined s surveying party
about the first of June 1868. Our survey
was in the vicinity of Fort Kearney, and
continued four months, during which time
nv health was apparently completely re-
stored. But 1 was destined 70 another at
tack; for, after the completion of the sur
yey. I removed to Philadelphia, Pa, hop
ing there to enjoy continued good health,
but in vain; my disease soon returned
more violently than before, and at the
close of the war I moved back to this
country, where, by the blessing OF God, 1
nave again been restored to health, feel
ing stronger and weighing more than for a
number Of years past. 1t will thus be
seen that three times, after having been
reduced by disease, of a consumPtive ma
ture. l have tried the dry, healthfUl air OF
Western Missouri, with uniform success,
and I will here say, that ] firmly believe
it to be the most desirable countryfo those
suffering with throat or lung diseases, in
the United States. In my experience l
ave never nSarQ OF u soNeIc SoSo VI eAASos
or lung disease that originated in this
country, though thers have doubtless been
such cases. d. n. Todd.
The universal testimony of this country
-corroborates that of Mr.. Todd, and / am
satisfied Of its truthfulness. Spring seems
to have come with all its terminating in
fuences, and the forests and fields are put
ting on their verdant robes. The coloni-
cation movement of the Rev. S. G.. Clark
aud others, near this place, is progressing
favorably, and a cordial invitation is still
extended to all who car appreciate the ad-
vantages of good educational and relig-
ious influence, to come and hep reclaim
from pro-slayery rule this garden Of the
West. Very respectfully,
FRANK BROOKS.

From the Oberlln Nel0S:
The health of President Finney for 6
time past has seemed to show little, il
any, improvement. He is closely con-
fined to his bed, and though in good
spirits and most favorable surroundings,
his friends feel serious spprehensions that
he may never recover his late health and
vigor.
Mrs. Samuel Plumb died in Oberlin
last Thursday, of sudden attack of par
alysis.
S. q. Reed, ESQ, in saving up a large
wildwood tree last week, in Oberlin,
struck a bullet imbedded in the tree ten
inches from the surface. From all ap-
~pearances, Mr.. r. judges it has lain there
fifty years st last.
Capt. A H. Nickerson, of Elyria, of the
Veteran Reserve Corps, now in Louisiana,
has been appointed q first lieutenant in
the regular army, and Sergeant Frederic
H. Dibble, of the same place, has received
the appointment Of second lieutenant in
the regular army.

General Grants ReceptiOn-Queer
Renc0ntres-

A Washington correspondent writes:
This evening wa a fitting close to q
day of memorable events. The occur
rences of the morning lent to the gather
ing a special interest, which was height
ened by the unexpected presence of Pres
ident johnson at the levee. For many
hours Gen. Grants notover spacious man
sion was thronged by the rank, fashion,
beauty and notabilities of the Capital.
The guests were received in the two par
lOrs on the left hand side of the entrance.
in the opposite rooms refreshments were
served up, and the basement was devoted
to dancing. The President arrived very
early, and unannounced. He took up q
position by the side of his distinguished
General, and shared in the labors of the
reception The guests began to arrive
about eight o'clock, and poured in an
increasing stream till half-past ten or
eleven! Not the least remarkable of the
number was Alexander Il. Stephens, of
Georgia, whose spare, careworn figure
and striking face made him easily distin-
guishable among the throng, and, though
he evidently sought retirement as much as
possible, many old-time friends found him
out and held him in pleasant conversation.
The widely different fate of these two
Vice Prssidents-the uncompromising
loyal Tennessean and the reluctantly dis
loval Georgian-was too marked not to
present itself to every mind.
Among the assemblage who had come
together on the neutral ground of homage
to General Grant there were other con-
trasts almost as singular. Theodore Til
ton and Montgomery Blair entered at
nearly the same instant, Madame Mon
tholon and the French Ambassador en-
countered Madame Juarel, leaning on the
arm of Signor Romero, the Mexican Min
ister; Secretary MeCulloch and Freeman
Clarke, his rebellious subordinate, ell
bowed each other in the hallway.
Shortly before ten o'clock q hurried
whisper passed round the room that Thad
Stevens was coming and many pressed
forward to see the effect Of such a meeting
as that Of the Pennsylvania Mephisto.

but there was no unusual manifestation

As to those who are here, Stewart Is
considered certain, and Wiley is still
counted as q friend of the Union party.
Hope is even manifesting itself in the
case of Jim Lane, predlcsted upon the
decision in the New York Colleetership
for which 8 friend of Lanes was an ap-
plicant. Then it is certain that Senators
Morgan and Doolittle both feel their posi-
ton deeply, and some of their friends are
really hoping that they will not go en-
tirely over with the President. Although
the latter claims that he has determined
to fight all his battles in the Union party,
every man Of sense feels that to be quite
impossible. The Copperheads will be his
allies in spite of himself, and he must
draw his ammunition for the battle in
great part from them. Even those who
have been earnestly hoping TO save Mr..
johnson are giving him up as lost. One
trait in his character, most dangerous to
the country, has developed itself very
rapidly of late; and to-day Andrew John
son may be regarded as the veriest dems-
goguein the land. Men have come slowly

Mr.. JoHNsoS's LITTLE PLAN.
Senrtor Riddle wss highly delighted
with its tone and sentiments, and in the
course ola conversation with gentleman,
established the fact that it was a thing he
was anticipating. He was evidently well
posted, and in his rhapsody over il, d.
vulged a most important part of the con-
templated coup detat programme. He
declared that within ten days orders would
be issued in all the rebel States for an
election of members to Congress, and that
within thirty or forty days these members
would be elected and in Washington.
Upon their arrival they would demand,
under the proclamation, the administra-
tion of the oath, and their admission into
Congress as loyal representatives of bona
fde States in the Union. That, of course,
in the choice of men TO become represen-
tatives from the Southern States, care
would be had, not merely to select those
who can or will take the oatn, but equally
that all of them will support the Johnson
ian policy. The manifest idea of Riddle,
in his foreshadowings of this programme,
was, that if the demands of these men so
elected were not at once complied with,
the President would promptly interpose
toinstsn themin what he calls their rights.

The first session of the present Legis-
lature terminated on Friday, and tina
BODY stands adjourned until January next
Daring the tsrm which has Just closed IT
has done tn werk well and thoroughly.
In a session briefer than the average 1t
h,s done much more than the average
amount Of work The character Of its IA
bor has in some degree corresponosd
with the general character Of the mem
ben who composed it. It has had in It no
men Of national reputation or pro-eminent
genius no commanding and acknowledge
ieaders, like Columbus Delano in the last
Legislature, and Cox and Garfield in the
STATE Senate of lseo-e1. Neither has its
Legislation been marked by any great re-
forms or extraordinary measures. 1t is
made up of practical, common-sense, hard
working Legislators; and its work has
been, in the main, Of 3 practical, common
sense unambitious sort done with much
dispatch and yet with much care and cir
s-umspsstion- The bills considered and
passed were for the most part Of q 10
cal and necessary nsture, while more gen.
srafand sweeping propositions, like the
repeal Of the Militia Law, the abolition Of
the Comptroller-ship Of the Treasury, the
Equal Suffrage Amendment,sndth Eight
hour bill, have been postponed until the
adjourned session. Very little speech
making has been done, and that by only
half-s-doEen members. The Legislature
has paid little or no attention to national
politicA for which We owe it especial
thanks. The strong Union majority in
both its branches, which has enabled it to
crush at once all demonstrations of dis
loyalty on the part of Copperheads, might
have tempted it to be continually passing
resolutions and declaring opinions upon
subjects of which Congress and the gen.
erAl government have sole control. But
1t recognized the fact that this is not what
II was elected to do, and that the Ohio
delegation in Congress stand with unpar-
allsled unanimity for Freedom and the
Union, and need no advice or direction
from them. Therefore, with a dignity and
modesty that does it credit it confined
Itself to State Affairs, without assuming on
It's SHOULDERS the cares Of the nation.
We ought NOT to close this brief review
Of the character and work Of our present
Legislature without q brief word in rec
ognition Of the merits Of the Cuyahogs
delegation. In both branches our repre-
sentstives sustained their own credit and
guarded the interests of their constituents
Even those members to whose election
the gr satest opposition was made, have
proven themselves as faithful watchfGl
and lAborious guardians of the public
good as any in tho entire Legislative body.
Perhaps the most important bill passed
during the session-we mean the Metro
politan Police Act-was proposed and in
troduced by q Cleveland representative
while ne member of the entire Legisla-
turs possessed more influence, or used it
more conscientousiy, than the Senator
from Ouyahoga and the entire delegation
from this county, by faithful service in
Committee and on the floor, gained re-
spect from their fellow-members.
