THE TOPEKA RAILROAD.


On Monday morning last our town
was taken by lot of Railroad men who
were looking over the route of the
Atchison, Topeka, 81 Sante Fe Road.
Among the party was t. j. Peters, a
New York Engineer, Hon. d. L. Lakih,
and w. w. III. Lawrence. Mr.. Lakln
had Just returned from New York
where he had been fo1Eweeks laboring
to enlist capitalists in the enterprise.
He so far succeeded as to have compa-
nv send Mr.. Peters here to look at the
route, and report upon its feasibility.
We did not have chance to talk with
any of the parties, but learn that the
undertaking to build the road from
Topeka to Burlingame this summer de-
ponds upon the character of the report
Mr.. Peters would make to the New
York parties who sent him here. W:
also understand that he was very favor
ably impressed with the country and
the feasibility of the route, and that
there could be no doubt but that the
work would be Immediately undertaken
by the, New York capitalists.
This is all we can say at present, but
from what we have been told by relia.
BILE gentlemen, we shall have something
more favorable to tell our readers in a
short time.

MORE HORSE THIEVES.

We hope this section of the State is
not to become the rendezvous of horse
thieves. Only two or three weeks ago
we gave an account of the capture of
four of these gentry in this and. Green
wood counties, and this week we are
called upon to record the capture of two
more thieves, two horses, and the sub
sequent escape of the thieves. About
the middle of January two horses We're
stolen from j. w. French, living on
Bluff creek, near Fort Harker. Mr..
French made diligent search for the
horses and thieves, but could gain no
information of them until few days
ago, when he learned through Mr..
Graham whom he met on the Arkansas,
that his horses were ON Eagle creek, in
this county. 1t seems that the two
thieves, after stealing the horses, went
to the camp of Jacob Bump, who was
engaged in wolf hunting, out on the
plains. When Mr.. Bump came in the
thieves came with him bringing their
stolen property along. They arrived
here about four weeks ago, and have
been in the Elmendaro neighborhood
ever since. On Tuesday night Mr.
French arrived at Elmandaro and arrest
ed the thieves and secured his horses
In the night, however, while the thieves
were being guarded by some of the
citizens they made their escape. They
have not since been heard from. Mr.
French will pursue and recapture them
if possible.

Tup Yupr1cHMEYT TRIAL

Drags its slow length along. Several at
tempts have been made at postponement
or delay. The result of general con-
ference of all the Republican members,
a few days ago, was that all PROPOSE
tons to amend the rules in the particu-
lars named, should be voted down. A
movement was also made to postpone
the trial till after the Chicago. Conven-
ton, but it only found favor among
those who are ambitious to be placed
on the ticket with Gen. GRANT, and
met with violent opposition from others
who desire to make Mr.. WADE Presi-
dent, and to have him also re-nomina-
ted at Chicago as Vice President. The
trial will therefore go on without fur.
Their interruption and the expectancy o.
a verdict, in very few days, is general
We hope the honorable Senators vii
maintain this decision.

A NEW ERA.

A new era has dawned for Kansas.
We have been approaching it slowly but
certainly for years, and the evidences
of its dawning are seen on all hands.
This season we almost begin new life
Heretofore we have struggled against
almost every difficulty, chief of which
was poverty. This year over hun
dred thousand new settlers will pour
into our vallies, cities and villages, over
two hundred thousand human hands
will be added to our wealth, for labor is
capital. Every avenue of labor will re-
ceive new force to push it forward,
more money win be brought into the
State for investment, than in any five
former years put together. Many miles
ofnew railroad will be built, and along
the lines Of these, and out into the coun-
ties beyond will come the people hunt
ing homes. Millions of acres of our
rich prairie land will be broken and
fenced. Thousands of miles of 'Ehedge
rows of living green" will be planted
innumerable trees will be set in groves
and orchards; thousands of new labor
saving machines will be brought in,
and more will be done to develop Kan
sas this year than was ever done in any
half a dozen seasons before. We take a
new and fresh start this year, and we
will march steadily and rapidly on to a
higher and better state of development.
The area of our farms will be extended
beyond their heretofore narrow limits
our schools will flourish as they never
have before. Our herds and fiocks will
be increased almost beyond conception.
We are now the young giant of the
West

SENATORIAL IRREGULARITIES.

Some of the peculiarities of different
Senators during the progress of the i'm
parchment trial are thus skctched by
sprightly Washington correspondent:
Fessenden whites the end of his
pen-stick; Grimes slowly rubs his chin :;
Ross and Norton SHOWS up the floor
around them with bits of torn paper !;
Conkling strokes approvingly the pen
Ursula of light, curly hair which stretch
es down the center of his forehead :;
Trumbull is always on his seat, his desk
covered with law books, and he gives
standing his constant writing, Sumner
is attentive to the trial, and always in
formed of each aspect of the case as
it comes up. Yates, who sits beside
Sumner. keeps his desk unencumbered
generally, as we'll as his chair. When
he is i'll the chamber, Salisbury acts
like polar bear in meRagerin except
polar bear doesn't chew quite so much
tobacco. No Senator ON the floor takes
greater interest in the trial than Rev
erdy j ohnson, or pays it more steady
attention.
Chase is still fine looking, the most
imposing parsonage in the chamber.
Some blockhead doctor, on account of
some throat affection, last fall advised
the Chief Justice to allow his beard to
grow under his chin, and thick clump
of white hair in that region is the re-
suit. The friends of the Chief Justice
have been looking for that doctor ever
since. If he is found, you will hear of
another impeachment trial. Whiskers
helped Lincoln's appearance, but they
spoil, as much as such trifles can, the
face of Mr.. Chase.

ten letter to the Republicans of the
State, acknowledging his errors and
promising better things in the future.
He denies none OF the charges, but de-
clines to resign his position. His prom
ises to reform are generally mistrusted.
