BRIDGES NEEDED.


This county needs couple of bridges
here-one across the Cottonwood and
the other across the Neosho. This need
is more urgent now than anything else.
The people in town feel it and the peo-
pie in the country feel it. For week
these streams have not been fordable.
For three months last year they were not
fordable. In one instance last year the
county lost one man who came here
(not to the village) with fifteen thous-
and dollars in his pocket to invest and
scatter through the community. We
we lost by not having bridge. Last
year scores of people left this county,
after coming into it, to cross the Neo-
sho on the Council Grove bridge. This
county is on the thoroughfare from
Leavenworth, Lawrence and Topeka to
the southern, southwestern and western
counties of the State. The travel on
this thoroughfare scatters many thous-
ands of dollars among the people an
nuall-. There is great danger of losing
u 0OOu VI tAlC bltlNC ANA IAu'C1
between the above sections of country.
This county is out of debt. It's court
house is paid for. 1t can better afford
to build bridges now than any other
time. These two bridges ought to be
built first, and then others along the
two streams above and below. The
two here are needed the most because
this is the county seat and everybody
has to come here. Then, as quick a;
possible, build the others. We dom
know which would be the best plan
whether to build them as we did the
court house, without issuing bonds, Oh
whether it would be better to issue
bonds. Our voice would be in favor o
the former plan if it is practicable.
We say let the Board of Commission
ers be petitioned, and if we mast vot,
bonds, let the question be submitted il
November, and by next spring we ma.
have two good bridges spanning TIL
Neosho and Cottonwood opposite thi
place.

ADVICE GRATIs.-We don't generally
bother our friends with advice. a good
article can be had, at moderate figure,
at any of the law shops of this town,
and we don't want to interfere with Ie-
Ultimate business. But our especial
friend Perry d. Maxson needs a little
at this important juncture, and we de-
part from our rule to give it to him, as
follows:
1. Don't pretend to be too conscien-
tious to cote on Saturday, and then
make two hours indecent harangue
on the same day. Such conduct may
not suit your Sabbatarian brethren.
2. When you go to the State Conven-
ton carry out in good faith the instruc-
tons and known wishes of your con.
stituents.
3. Don't give any of the candidates
your note for $500, or any other sum
Let your communications with them
be yea yea and nay nay, and on ready
pay terms.
A. "Be virtuous and you will be happy

tions are followed.

The real question to be settled in the
great political contest now going on, is
the one of Reconstruction-whet the
South shall be put in such condition
that people can go down there and en-
joy freedom of speech and liberty of
person, or whether the country is to be
under the old mob rule of the days of
slavery. If General Grant is elected, it
will not be six weeks after the happen
ing of that event until Union man will
be as safe in the South as in the North
until there is perfect reign of peace.
The election of Seymour will mean the
exclusion of every Union man from the
South, and four years reign of terror
of murder, secession and burning a Ia
the New York riots. Every voter is
morally responsible for the decision OF
this great question. Let him vote with
full understanding of the results Of
his ballot.

If anybody can give anything like a
correct guess who will be nominated
for Congress, from the news published
i'll our Lawrence and Leavenworth
papers, they are smarter than we
First, we open the Lawrence Tribune,
and find the country has been swept
like whirlwind for Clarke. Then we
take the Journal to find that he may
possibly have few delegates, but not
anything like enough to nominate him
in fact, that he is badly scooped. In
the city district Of Lawrence, a tie was
claimed and new election had on
Wednesday. This new election
Clarke's friends refused to go into.
claiming that their candidate was elect
ed by a very small majority at the first
election. Let this be as it may, it shows
that Mr.. Clarke is not overly strong
right at his own home when, with all
the patronage on his side and the pres
tige of being the incumbent, he can be
SO nearly defeated as to have bare
majority. Two of the Douglas coun-
ty delegates, at least, out of the six are
against him, according to our best in
formation.
We confess our inability to arrive at
any correct conclusion as to who will
be the lucky man, from the conflicting
reports from different portions of the
State.

John w. Wright has sold his interest
in the Leavenworth Conservative to
Surveyor General Hiram S. Sleeper,
formerly of this county. We are sorry

extant. We wish him abundant success

Chicago is taking steps to secure a
park of considerable magnitude. About
seven miles in direction little south
of west from the city, is a beautiful tract
of land known as the Riverside farm.
It is situated ON the Aux PLANES river,
and embraces about one thousand acres
of excellent soil. The river flows
through it in a winding direction from
north to south, and part of the land is
wooded with ash and oak timber. The
park is to be connected with Chicago by
a road one hundred feet wide, lined on
both sides with trees, and the grounds
are to be laid out and ornamented in the
highest style of landscape gardening.
The enterprise is in the hands of public
spirited gentlemen, who will raise the
funds for the purpose by the sale of
other grounds in the immediate neigh
borhood.

A Coop INDEx.-A table of the COM
paritive earnings of the principal rail-
roads in the United States, recently
compiled, shows a large increase for
the first six months of this year. No
fact could better establish the steady
progress of the country, as no one
special business is better index of the
general prosperity of the nation. Rail-
roads only prosper through the develop
ment of the resources of the land, and
large profits indicate a generally
healthy condition of trade and bust
ness.

BEsIEGED By FAMIsHED CATs.-It is said
an enterprising Yankee, having bought on
island in the Ohio river, has stocked the
same with black cats, intending to go into
the fur trade. This reminds rs of q SINH
lar experiment which was made many
years ago by a gentleman who resided ID
Maryland. The idea struck him that the
fur trade was so lucrative it would be much
better to raise animals nearer home than
the regions of the North, and accordingly
purchased an island in the Chesapeake
Bay, stocking it with the blacklist of black
cats. He paid extravagant prices for the
f~elines, and all the boys in the adjacent
country went extensively into the bust
ness of ~entrappiDg unsuspecting Tommies
and Tables, which were Immediately dis
posed of and sent to the aforesaid island.
The gentleman found the cats were pro-
life, and was soon compelled to employ
two men to live on the island and fish with
a seine in order to supply them with food.
At first she fishermen had quite an easy
time, and readily supplied fish in abund-
ance for their charges; but. the number
daily increased, until whole legions ofblack
cats trooped over the island home, deyour-
ing everything in the shape of food, and
the men found it impossible to furnish the
requisite amount Of nourishment. At last
it was determined that one of the men
should take 8 boat, and returning to the
mainland, report the alarming state of
sfairs. During the absence Of the messen-
,sr the cats became exceedingly bold, and
he remaining party, fearing for his Life,
ocked himself up in his cabin and prepared
's a siege. I. |

A Mr.. John Smith, who is described,
evidently not without reason, as a fast"
talker, gave the following description of
the blowing up Of a steamboat on the Mis-
sissippi:
81 had landed at Helena for a minute to
drop some letters into the post-ofice, when
all of q sudden I heard q tremendous ex-
plosion, and looking up, saw that the sky
was for a minute darkened with arms, legs,
and other small bits and scraps Of my fell
low-travellers. Amongst an uncommonly
ugly medley Ispied the second clerk about
one hundred and fifty feet above my own
level. I recognized him at once, for ten
minutes before I had been sucking a sherry
cobbler with him out of the same RUNNER
Well, / watched him. He came down
through the roof of a shoemaker's shop, and
landed on the floor close by the shoemaker,
who was at work. The clerk, being in a
hurry, jumped up to go to the assistance OF
the other sufferers, when the man of wax
demanded five hundred dollars for the
damage done to his roof. TOO much re-
piled the clerk never paid more than
two hundred and fifty dollars in my life,
and Poe done the same thing often.'"
