0. P. R. ", SOUTHERN BRAN0H.

The Burlington Patriot says the party
engaged in the survey of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad, Southern Branch. from the
south line of the State to Fost Gibson, re
turned on Thursday last.
Two routes were surveyed. oae by the
way of the Verdigris, ana the other by
the Nsosho river, the preference bsing
decidedly in favor of the latter route.
At Chetopa and O5wego, in LabeiI
county. the party found an abundance o
coal. Of good quality, in veins averaging
three feet in thickness.
Ground was broken al Fort Gibson,
and cornerstone erected to mark th5
starting point of the road in the Caero
kee Nation.
The next meeting of the board Of di.
rectors will be held in Burlington. at
which the contractors will be present.
The question of contracting for
building the balance Of the road from the
north line of the Usage lands to Fort
Smith will then be considered.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

Our State Senate, this winter, will STAND
90 Republicans and Democrats. Last
winter there we're 90 Republicans aud 3
Democrats. There were FIVE vacancies
caused by FIVE members of last winters
Senate being appointed 10 Office. In these
five vacancies TWO Democrats were elects
ed, viz: Atchison, and the district com
posed of Chase, Morris, Butler aud Ma
rion counties.
In the House there will be, 60 far As
can now be ascertained, SO Republicans
and Independents, and 25 Democrats
The Republican majority in both Houses
is 40, for it is safe to put down all the
Independents as Republican in politics.
We suppose the Democrats feel good over
this grain of comfort, small as it lie. The
idea Of having 25 Democrats 10 Kansas
House of Representatives ia something
for that party to feel good over.
In casting oureye over the list OF mem
bers, we conclude that the next Lagisla-
ture will. be one of more than ordinary
ability. We find in the list soms of our
best men, and many Of large legislative
experience. and we may reasonably ex
pect some Wise legislation this winter.
OF those who will take prominent part
in the proceedings Of the next House we
may mention Col. Plumb and j. D. ia
quith, Of this county; Judge C w. Smith
and Joel K. Goodin, of DougiaU; Jaig5
w. P. Gamble and II Mile, More, Of
Leavenwortb; G. w. Click, of A,ca;son
E. j. Jenkins, of Doniphan; DR.. Fletcher
of Shawnee; II. p. WEIGH, of Franklin
Isaac Sharp, of Morris, and EiIia Tuck
sr of Greenwood.
One of the best (if not the bssl) mem.
bers in the House Of 1866. was Judgt
Smith, of Lawrence, and we arc glad the
people have returned him. He is learned
lawyer, and a gentleman Of large expert
ence and observation. His speeches we're
always brief and to the point. His course
was straightforward and honest. He is a
gentleman of culture and enlarged views.
and We remember that in the discussions
Of that session he always rose above the
partizan and took into consideration the
best interests of the sOdoIe country. No
man in that session cams out with bet
ter reputation thar Judge Smith. and We
predict the same Of b.m il Tia coming
session of the legislature

ANEW SENSATION.

Mr.. Weston, the great pedestrian, who
made a wager that he could walk from
Portland to Chicago, distancs of 1900
miles in twenty six working days. and |
that on some one day he would walk one
hundred miles, started on the 29.h of DC
tober, and had arrived at Cleveland at last
accounts. He had made two attempts 10
walk one hundred miles in one day and
failed. We believe according to the terms
of his bet, be has three more trials. Ev-
erywhere on his route he has created the
greatest sensation. The inhabitants of
towns aud cities have Aocked in hundreds
to meet him. The ovStious almost ca ual
those given to Sheridan few we eks ago.
He is the American hero of tie past week
or ten days, and since he started pedss-
trianism has excited the talk of the PEG
ole aud filed the newspapers, and pic
lures OF Weston appear in every issue
of Harper. Numerous other pedestrian
feats are on the tapis in all parts of the
country. among which is one from Bos-
ton to San Francisco. BY some deIuded
soul.
Weston is described as 90 years Of
age, Weighing 125 pounds. He seems
elastic of step. is wiry audiu perfect con-
dition. H is no sporting man in any
sense. and has only consented to this feat
on a wager for the purpose of pecuniary
profit Hs has never before performed
any matches in Pedestrianism, except to
test his great powers Of endurance. H
has attended to all lhs details of making
up the time table, providing relays, dc +,
for himself, and he will pass through
three hundred cities and towns and parts
Of ten States Four sworn witnesses,

HARTFORD, kas., NV. is. 81.
Mr.. SToTLER: Ny attention was call
ed to-day (by friend) TO an article in
The EMP RIA News of the inst,
which TO me is little mysterious. l.
FIRST charges me with the publication and
circulation of a secret circular on the eve
of be election, and then says that you
don't believe did it, II you don't be
lieve l did il, why charge me with II? |
have only TO say that l did not publish
Ror circulate The circular TeierIed 10, and
;hal never did. neither Pub!ic.J or pr
vateIy, bring serious charges against Mr.
Heriluge, tor the simple reason thai
knew nothing against the chaFac er OF the
m.n. am thankful 10 yea for tie com
pliment contained in the lat;er part OF The
article referred to. But for tbs charges
made in the first part OF The article, am
not so thankful. Very respectfully,
LAO NJ EARNHEART.
After reading the above two things are
very evident: That Mr.. E.rnheart never
read the article that mis- friend was SO kind
as TO show him, or that he did not get
within forty rows of apple trees Of the
meaning of the language it contained, if
he did read it. We never either charged
him with the publication and circulation
of that secret circular, nor said that we
did not believe he did it. We mentioned
the fact that such circular did appear
on the morning of election, and that its
object was to irju;e Captain Herifage'S
chances in the race for Treasurer, and
then, after making some general remarks
about secret circulars issued on The eve
of an election, said we were 10th to be-
Iieve this one was printed and circulated
at Mr.. Earnheart's request, or even with
bis sanction. That was to say, we enter
tanned TOO high an opinion of Mr.. E. to
believe be would engage in such trick.
That is the substance of What we said.
and if Mr. EaruhearI will get the article
and read it, and make out of it what he
pretends TO il the above note, then ne too
will come to the conclusion that his mind
must be in a mysterious" condition.
