tallVes have arrived IN Washington
They are having sleighing aud cold
weather in Maine. In Kansas we are
having regular summer weather.
The 18Th Kansas. the battalion which
was raised last spring to fight the Indi-
am, was mustered out on the i5:h inst,
at Fort Harksr.
Major General Howard was at Leaven-
worth and Lawrence few days ago. He
visited all the negro schools, having come
to Kansas to look after the interests of the
Freedmen.
On tie night of the 18Th a grand mets-
Oric shower took place. which was pOtic-
ed at many points all over the country
At Lawrence, in this Safe. upwards of
1000 we're counted, and few are said 10
have fallen in the city limits.
WOodson county went against the bonds
for the Neosho Valley Railroad again. aud
has thereby injured her material interests,
in the estimation Of the outside world,
more than the amount Of bonds she was
ask ed for. Progressive, enterprising peo-
pie don't seek homes in communities
opposed to railroads nova days. What
cln be the matter with tns people down
there? They are evidently behind the
lines.
NAREr-Feraale Suffrage did not carry
a single county SO far as beard from. For
soma days it was reported aud believed
that Doriphan county had gone for it by
100 majority. But the official returns are
iu Sol MiIler's paper. and instead of be-
ipg 100 majority for the 'peruicious"
there is ten hundred and Thirty two ma
iorily against it. Bully for Douiphan,
We believe both the papers of that cOun,
ty favored it strongly.
Geo Fraucis Train, Susan B. Anthony
and E Cady Stanton, are on a leoturin g
tour through the Eastern States for the
purpose Of waking Up the country on fe
male suffrage before Congress meets
They ate TO speak in all the principal cit
les. They ought TO have better success
ia waking up toe country than they bsd
in Kansas.
The lawrence Tribune says. in giving
he returns from Chase county: Drink
water, the Democratic candidate for R p
resentative, was elected by 60 majority
over Braudley. Republican" We sup
pose tho Tribune got tbs idea tia, Drink
water is a Democrat from that uuthfu
little sheet, The Chase County Bladder
We wish 10 say to the Tribune and al
others who may. have been nisled BY
Sam Woods paper, that Mr. Drinkwater
is one of the most reliable Republicans in
the State. He opposed Sam Wood for
Judge. That's the objectionable sin be
committed In the eyes of the Chase coun
ty paper, and hence the attempt to mis-
represent him politically.
At the last election Michigan adopted a
new constitution which admits all citi
zens. regardless of color, to the ballot box
on equal terms. One State, at least, has
dared to do justice. How are you radi-
cal Kansas?
The last Intelligence from Minnesota is
that negro suffrage is defeated by a small
majority.
Returns from Florida stow the Con-
vsntioa carried by decided majority OF
the registered voters. Nearly all the
blacks voted. and but few whites. a
large number of negroes are elected to
the Convention.
The fnal settlement Of the estate oil
President Lincoln. showing that after
paying all de5is there remained SIIO,-
ga SO, settles tie question-ifeve there
vas quesIion- about Mrs. Lincoln
necessities" We trust that she will
now be able 20 exist without forcing her
self upon public attention.
The discussion which has lately taken
place relative to taxing Government
bonds, paying off the deb: in kind. &c,
has created quite sensation among bond
holders. 10 Chicago, real estate has re-
CO 4 y advanced 25 per cent in conse-
quence of this agitation relative 10 the
bond question. The toudholJers are
disposing of them and making purcb asses
of real estate and investing largely il gen
eral business. manufacturing interests and
ether iEdast:ial enterprises. They ap
prehend that the binds will BE- taxed or,
that somehow theirprosent value viii be
deprecated and heuse they prefer to put
them in property that has real and sub
stantial value.
