CROPS IN KANSAS.

A correspondent of the New York
extended tour over the State, writes
that paper as follows of the growing
crops and the probable yield of the har-
vest this year:
THE amount of land under cultiva-
ton is more than double any previous
year. Winter wheat and rye were sown
i'll about the average quantity, and will
be ready for harvest i'll few days.
Spring wheat and oats are looking Wig
orous and are growing rapidly. Corn
is generally ready for cultivation, and
is very promising We have had
interfere with labor. From present in
dications we shall have a bountiful har-
vest.
The prospects are very favorable for
fruit. Peach trees are loaded, and APP
Piles are very numerous where orchards
have sufficient growth. Grape vines
give promise of large yield. The
planting OF fruit trees this Spring has
been so large that the most of our nur-
series have been cleaned out.
The number OF new farms being made
and the amount of breaking being done
is five times that of any previous year.
Emigration is larger than ever before,
and we are evidently on the highway
to prosperity and wealth"
We judge this letter was written by
Thaddeus III. Walker, who is not only
an intelligent and attentive observer,
/ but reliable man. The opinions he ex-
presses it this communication are those
we have heard expressed by every
farmer with whom we have talked.

Ross, in his defense before the SEN
ate, pronounced the Impeachment move
ment ga stupendous blunder, from its
inception" and yet the miserable skunk
has aided and abetted it from the first
by every means in his power. Before
the President had trampled the law I'M
der foot he was in favor of it. Last
june he didn't want Congress to adj
journ, and announced himself in favor
OF, impeachment and confiscation. He
voted for the resolutions of the 2lst of
February last. He acted with the I'm
peachment party in the Senate up to the
very day the vote was taken. He has
been writing letters all spring to his
friends in Kansas, assuring them that he
was for impeachment. He did this even
after he had heard the evidence, and
now he has the brazen impudence to
say TO his outraged constituents that Inn
peachment was "a stupendous blunder
from its inception" What are the peo-
pie TO think of such man? They can
come to no other conclusion than that
he was bought light sheep in the mar
ket on the eve of the vote. He saws.
himself, that up to a few days previous
to taking the vote he intended to sup
port a portion of the articles" and then
in the next breath that it was a rstu-
pendous blunder, from its inception
thus proving that he deliberately in
tended to violate his oath, but all at once
changed his mind from conscientious
conviction" That won't do. Poor Ross
is foundering in water that is entirelytoo
deep for him. He makes poor fool OF
himself He owes it to his constituent.
to resign and give up a position in
which he is stencil in the nostrils OF
every Republican in the State.

The whites do not propose to inter-
fere in the quarrel between the Chey-
ennes and Kaws. They are willing for
them to fight as much as they please.
But they will not submit to have their
country over run. And for that reason
every citizen is anxious to see the Kaws
and Osages removed at once. AT present
their reservations are almost surround
ed by whites. They can go on the
plains and commit outrages against
other Indian tribes and then take refuge
ON their reservations in the white SCI
Elements, and be comparatively secure.
This has been the practice of these mis-
cradle cowardly tribes. Some of the
plains tribes have become SO incensed
at them that they say they will have
revenge even if they have to come in
among the whites If they do come i'll
it will be impossible for them. to go OUT
| without committing more or less dam
with them. The government should
see that they do not make further
raids upon the settlements. The Kaw.
| and Osages should be moved onto
the plains at once. Their removal i;
loudly called for both for the good o.
/ the whites and the Indians.
This same body. of Cheyennes have
visited the Arkansas and Walnut
stating that they were going to tigh
the Osages. We have heard of no dam
i age being done by them, down there
! The people were somewhat frightened
and gathered in small parties for pro
lection.
-Butsat the present writing all is qui
ct. The Indians have probably gon'
back to the plains. We wish to say t.
immigrants that there is no more dan
ger here from Indians than there is o
being garroted or run off a railroad
track in the East, and hardly as much
knowing what we do about such eN
citemeAts as the last one, and having IL
desire to deceive or misrepresent t.
gain population, we say to those VIII
are coming that we would have no hes
itation in settling at once in Lyon, But

CLOSE OF GENERA CONFERENCE.

The General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church of the Uuited
States closed its fifteenth quadrennial
session, of months duration, at Chica-
go, on last Tuesday. 1t was altogether
harmonious and pleasant session.
The most important measure adopted
during the session was an amendment
of the Discipline of the Church so as to
authorize Lay Delegations in the Con-
ferences, now and heretofore composed
of Ministers exclusively. The amend
ment is to.be submitted to vote of the
Members in all of the societies of the
Church in May of next year, and if APP
proved by majority of those voting,
it is to become the rule. Rev. Mr.. Wiley
was reelected ditor of the Ladies Re-
poSitory. Rev. DIR. Creary was reelected

The impeachment Managers are still
at work on the investigation of the man

acqnittaL Their work is now attracting
more attention than at first. Of course
much that is in the kilograms about the
matter is not reliable. but some things
have been sifted out that are to the
point. 1t was stated day or two ago
that large sum of money had been
traced to the pockets of Western Sem

the man Wooley whom the House of

to him by the Impeachment committee,
has received $4,000. in connection with
the impeachment trial.

a card, written on both sides, and sent
from Colonel Cooper to the President,

AGRICULTURAL MEETING.

We hope no farmer, stockraiser or
other person interested in the welfare
of the county will neglect to attend the
meeting tomorrow Saturday. at the
Court House for the purpose of re-or-
ganizing the Lyon County Agricultural
Society. 1t is one of the utmost impor-
lance to the people of the county. All
that is wanting now is for our farmers
to manifest an interest in the matter
and our Agricultural Society is a success.
Under law passed last winter our
County Commissioners (by petition OF
citizens) have appropriated one fourth
of one mill on the dollar on the taxable
property of the county for the purpose
ofpurchasing fair grounds and fencing
the same. This tax will raise the
amount of S400 which will enable the
Society to make all the necessary. ar
engagements to have successful fair
this fall.
All that now remains is for the peo-
pie to put their shoulders to the wheel
Then let us see good turn out on Sat
urday at the Court House.

Its all mistake about "Old Grimes
being dead. That good man, since he
betrayed his country, his party and his
friends, is going into the libel business.
A telegram from Washington says he
intends to bring suit against the New
York Tribune and the Cincinnati Ga
sette for libel. The suit against the
former will be based OH the charge in
the Tribune that he voted for the ac-
quittal of the President under corrupt
influences ; and that against the Gazette
on the charge that he was guilty of cor
rnption while chairman OF the Senate
committee on naval affairs during the
late war.

LETTER FROM CHIEF JUSFfGE CHASE.

New YORK, June 9.-The Herald
prints private letter from Judge Chase,
in which he says he,was not partisan
on either side on the impeachment trial.
He says he shall adhere to his old creed
of equal rights. ''They may denounce
and abuse me, and read me out of the
party, if they choose. l follow my old
light and not the new. What the de-
velopments ofthe future may be know
not. neither expect nor desire to be
candidate for Office again. 1t would
however CRAFTY me exceedingly if the
party would take ground which would
assure the party against all attempts TO
subvert the principle of universal suf-
frage established in eight; and to be es-
tablished iii all of the Southern consti-
tutions. Then, think, the future OF
the great cause for which | have labored
so long would be secured, and l should
not regret my absence from political
labOrs."

Judas Ross has made defense in
the Senate. 1t is full of impudence
and injured innocence. He told the
Senate that he loved his hard-earned
reputation, the chief property of his
wife and children" We didn't know
the poor devil had any reputation until
he voted for the acquittal of Johnson,
and according to reports that was not
very hard earned. If his support de-
ponds on his reputation, his family must
be in distressing circumstances.

The only place we ever heard OF
where the post master refused to distrib-
ute local papers within the range of the
delivery of their Office, and outside of
the city carriers range, is Emporia.
The only reason we can assign for this
conduct on the part of our post officer
is that the proprietor OF THE NEWS re-
signed the office in her favor and secur-
ed her appointment, and has, with a
few other gentlemen, been instrumental
in saving her "official head once OF
