THE FOURTH IN EMPORIA.
Two thousand People Present.

Yesterday was q glad day in Emporia.
The celebration of our Independence

diers of Lyon deserve great credit for
their splendid management of the affaiF.

proceedings.
The dag opened auspiciOusly. People
and patriotism seemed to be spontaneous.
They came from every direction, and in
sll sorts of conveyaDces.
The Grst thing 10 the morning was the
appearance in our streets, of q company
of young men on horseback. dressed in
all sorts Of grotesqus sud ridiculous CO s.
tunes. They rode through the principa
streets, and created s good deal Of fur
for the crowds ihst lined the streets.
About ten O'Clock The procession wa

HUMILIATION, FASTING AND
PRAYER.

We suppose, from the papers, that
grassboppeIs are tolera6ly thick at LeaV-
enwosth aud other points on our eastern
border. Ten days OF two weeks ago the
Leaveuworth Conservative came out IN a
flaming article on the hoPpsrs, saying
that the desolation in the State would
only be equallsd by the drouth of 1862
or words TO that effect. and appealing to
His ExcelIency, the Governor. to appoint
dav of Humiliation, Fasting and Pray
err about these pests. If the Conssrva-
tive had spoken for its own locality Alone
we should have nothing to say, but We
feel it our duty to say, so far as this Por-
ton of the State is concerned, its state
ments are groundless, and We cannot see
Why that paper would make such a sweep
ing and Injurious statement without being
posted. So far as we know, in Lyon and
all the surrounding counties, the damage
done by grassboppers ia indeed avery
small matter. We assure our brother Of
the Conservative that unless some dire ca
lamity yet overtakss Us, be need be IN no
apprehension of second edition Of 1860,
as We shall raise plenty of everything to
feed the people of Lsavenworth upon.
But if the Conservative is waiting for a
mere proclamation to to prayers over
the grasshoPPers, we earnestly appeal tc
Gov. Crawford to appoip. fast day fol

asininity is doing 50 much to injure Kan.

The fact is that the grasshOpper talk
utter folly for this portion OF the State a
least. The prospect for wheat, corn, pc
tatos, aud all other crops. was never bet
ter in Southern Kansas. Spite of tn
lateness of the season, corn is making
magnificent growth. Winter wheat wa
never heavier in majority of fields, no
better. Lees than usual was sown las
fall, but this difference is compensated 70
by the increased breadth cultivated i
spring crops, which are also 1ourishin
wonderfully. There is not one grasshoE
per III the Neosho Valley where last IA
there were thousand. We can readl
see how there may be a good many {
them about Leavenworth, seeking a pass
age across the river, and if the Mayor
that city chooses to proclaim a fast da
for the objects specified, we see no objeC
ton; but we certainly give Gov. Crawlor
credit for more sense than to make sue
a fool of himself. Immigration has a
ready been too much impeded by the va
carries of silly quill drivers. We adVis
Mayor Halderman TO take the Conservs
tive man in and care for him, for if Ii

aspect Of inverted column rules 10 tn;

THE RAILROAD ELECTION.
Three Hundred Majority for Bonds.

The vote in the county on tie Railroad
bond question, last Saturday, was small.
considering the importance of the ques-
ton. What there was of it, though, is all
right. This light vote is no indication
of the interest felt in the enterprise by
tie people of Lyon county, but must be
attributed to the two facts that farmers
were exceedingly busy, and that there
was no contest over the matter, the oppo>
silion being too light to get up Eght
over. The proposition carried ~ a ma.
jOrity of three hundred and eight vote:
out of FIVE hundred ead forty. The fol-
lowingis the vote as counted by the Com

KANSAS AFTER THE INDIANS.

The telegraph reports that Governor
Crawford has been authorized by General
Sherman to raise a regiment Of Kansas
Frontiersmen to fight the Indians. We
will be glad if this proves true, because
We believe Kansas soldiers can do better
at fighting the red men than any other
soldiers. They have been with them
more than any other class of men, and
know more of their habits; besides, they
are not possessed of any great degree of
the Eastern sickly sentimentslity about
the noble qualities of the red men. They
know them as a set of uucivilizsd, lousy,
thieving, treacherous brutes. "GoiDg for
the Indians," is one of a Kansas man
chest holds" and we venture the asser-
ton that if Uncle Samuel will let Kansas
have the job of making treaties with
them the Indians will soon know how to
conduct themselves. Sending Senatorial
parties and Eastern specialized gentlemen
out TO see the "poor Indians" only pro.
yokes the contempt of the red Ikins, and
while we do not want to see anybody
hurt, we really think it would result in
good if few high government official:
conld have their waterfalls" taken
This would do much towards putting a
stop to the "twaddling." and treaty
ing policy now pursued. Make it dOz
en- regiments, Mr.. Sherman. and it won
be long until the brutal murders being
committed daily upon our pioneers il
stopped. There are ten or twelve thous
and men in Kansas who are "spi!ing'' 70
= little job Of this kind.
