THE STATE FAIR.

Tie State Fair is represented to have
been . great suocsss-far exceeding any
of its predecessors in attendance. number
and kind of stock and articles exhibited,
and in general inlersst. Nearly ali the
counties Of the State we're represented by
exhibitors, and the showing was such az
Kansas need not be ashamed Of.
We naturally looked with great interest
to see what Lyon county would exhibit.
Our modification can hardly be express
I'd, at the fact that in the long list of en-.
tries We found only three from this county.
Charles and Nike Weaver exhibited q
thorough bred bull, heifer calf, aud
Msrino buck. The bull took 6rst aud
the buck second premium. No doubt
they deserved to, aud Lyon county owes
these young men a debt of thanks for
preventing the county from being totally
unrepressnted al the State Exhibition.
We have in Lyon county some of the
most entsrPrising farmers and stock rails
Srs, ne OF the best cheese factories and
IS skillful mechanics as there are 10 the
State. Why were not they represented?
We believe one Of the main reasons TO
be, that We have not q well supported
County Agricultural Society. If there
had been previously held a good County
Fair. We should not have lacked for prop
or representation at the State Fair. Yet
it is the fault of the classes We have nam
ed that the County Society amounts to
nothing. Last year the expense of max
Ing the greater part of the improvements
necessary to the Fair, we're borne almost
wholly BY two or three persons. The
farmers and mechanics don't even belong
to the Society, as q class. The msmber.
ship has never been one hundred when it
ought to b not less than one thousand.
Last February call was made for the
SECULAR Annual Meeting for the election Of
officers, and not one single person attend
ed. So, Of course, the organization lapg.
ed. and no Fair could be held.
The Farmers, Stock Growers, Dairy
men, Mechanics and Merchants of Lyon
county ought to have live County Soci.
ETY.. They can support it and hold sue
csssful Fair each year on a contribution of
the membership fee OF one dollar each per
annum. 1t would be worth twenty times
that amount TO each one Of them, and the
benefit to the general interests of the
county besides would be very great. Let
them see 20 1t that another year does not go
Oy without good County Fair, aud a
large and credilabls representation Of our
products at the next State Fair.

Terrible Riot in FarmvilIe.

We learn from passengers by the Southside
cars, that riot occurred in Farmvifle, ycster-
day, between the Yankee soldiers stat; oned
there and the negroes of the town, which re-
suited in one soldier being shot through the
head and killed, another dangerously, and per-
haps MORALLY wounded from blow on the
head with fence rail, and several others more
or less Injured Some four OF five negroes were
dangerously wounded, and number of others
slightly. The riot commenced early in the day,
and was not queled until dinner time. The
origin of the disturbance was as follows
A difficulty occurred Monday afternoon, be-
tween the colored bar keeper at Booker's Ho-
tel, and couple Of Yankee soldiers, which re-
suited in the negros being badly beaten. Yes
terday morning, number Of negroes, armed
with every available weapon, suco as pistols,
knives, sticks, clubs, fence rails, &C., appeared
on the streets, and being met by IL half s1ozen
or more soldiers, the fighting commenced. The
negroes were constantly reinforced until they
numbered several hundred, the soldiers also re-
ceivlng accesslons to their numbers. The off
Ger commanding the soldiers, ordered such of
them as were not engaged in the riot, to the
scene OF conflict to suppress it. Upon arriving.
however, instead Of attempting to stop the
fighting, they pitched into the negroes and a
general melee ensued, with the result above
stated. The negroes were finally driven off,
and quiet restored, though renewal Of the
fight IS monentarily to be apprehended But
one citizen, we are informed, took part in the
affray, and he received considerable whipping
for his pains. -Lyuch. Nelus

The Last Amnesty Proclamation.

The New York Tribune is consistent on the
subject OF amnesty to the Southern people. It
is In this matter certainly wiser than Mr.. John
son himself, who should have issued general
amnesty proclamation when he issued his alb
surd $4,000 exception paper. The Tribune
says:
I'VE were in favor of sweeping amnesty
when Mr.. johnson was raving and roaring
thrice day that treason was a crime, and
traitors must be punished We are in favor
of it now, and would gladly have every peacea-
BILE well-disposed man in the South assured
that no harm will befal him because of his
share in the rebellion so long as he deports
himself as a good citizen should Let those
who were rebels feel and know that they may
plant and till, build and trade, buy lands and
sell them, without fear of confscation or mo-
lestation. So far as President Johnson's new
proclamation tends to secure this end, it has
our hearty approval. -
The 7ribmne's article concludes with the fol-
lowing paragraph, part of which is worthy the
attention of the Southern reader:
The only thing he is likely to effect is to ex-
cite an antagonism and conflict between Con-
gress and the leading rebels now excluded from
the voting regstries, which will tend to prolong
indefinitely the disfranchisement of the latter.
his we should most earnestly deplore We
nope to see every seeded State restored, or
nearly or quite every ex-rebel enfranchised, be-
fore the impending choice of President. Mr..
Johnson's proclamation, whatever may be his
motive, tends to defeat this. If the ex-rebels
are deluded laso completely with his schemes,
ne aCaH deAeat 1t. Let them keep perfectly
quiet, and we trust the mischief may yet be
aveesed.

Recent Elections.

In Vermont the Radicals lose heavily on the
popular vote and the Democrats gain quite a
number of members of the Legislature.
In California the Democrats make clean
sweep, electing their Governor, Lieut. Governor,
Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treasurer,
Surveyor General Harbor Commissioners.
Clerk ofthe Supreme Con..t and State Printer.
-ney also eject all Tree members of Congress,
ano "a, is'se majority of the members Of the
''s'' ,.ature, thus securing United States Sena-
tor. In 1865 the whole vote cast was 5e,466,
Fl. II. Hartley, Democrat, receiving 26, 245,
and S. W. Sanderson, Republican, 30, 22l ;
Republican, majority 6,316. La 1864 Lincoln S
majority was Is, 293, and in 1863 Frederick &.
Low, the present Governor, was elected ovel
James G. Downey, the Democratic candidate,
by majority of Is, 732, and the whole vote was
109,1 1872.
In Montana Territory the political tide is not
only turned, but is sweeping on with strength
that will, we trust, speedily annihilate Radical
ism. The New York World has the following
special despatch
VIRGINIA CITY, Montana, Sept. I.

towns last year, making a Republican loss o

Reaction,

In Prince William county in this State, says
the Alexandria Gazette, the re-actionary feel
ing has commenced among those who were op-
posed to secession, and maintained their allie,
glance to the Federal government through the
war which has closed, and which resulted in
the supremacy of that government. To such
lengths have the Radical would-be leaders in
this State gone, that disgust has naturally been
created among many of those who are called
loyal men,, and they find it necessary to take
ground against the ultras and destructives.-
We hear that in Fairfax several of the most
respectable Northern men who have hitherto
gone with the Radical clique, are becoming sick
and tired of being ridden, booted and spurred
by these 'agitators.
