In our dispatches will be found the
welcome intelligence that Judge Tap
pan, of the New York Supreme Court,
has issued an injunction prohibiting the
Merchants' Union Express Company
from carrying out it late disrepufable
bargain with the old Express Compa-
mics, by which not only fits own stock
holders, but the entire community have
been shamefuily betrayed into the pow
er of the INSCRIPTIONS combination,
and has also granted an order upon its
officers to show cause why they should
not be removed and receiver appoint
ed. The people everywhere win pray
that this Injunction be made perpetual,
and that every Official or Director, who
was party to the late outrageous trans
action by which the corporation was de-
liyered over, body and SOUL to the
shameless monopoly ever organized in
America, viii be peremtorily removed.
In the whole history of Incorporation ont
rages upOn the public, there is nothing
TO parallel the treason lately perpetrated
by those In control OF the Merchants
Union Express Company. We Seryent-
ly trust that the law win be on
the side of justice and right in this case.

EXTRA BOUNTY.

The Military Committee have decided
to report the bounty bill embodying the
points contained in what is known as
Schenck's bill, excepting it provides
that these bounties shall be paid in Gov
ernment land scrip. Each soldier and
sailor is allowed bounty at the rate of
eight and one-third dollars per month,
for the time in actual service, after de-
Quoting State and national bounty al
ready paid. 1t is not known to the com
mittee how many million acres of land
it WIN require to pay these bounties, no
estimate having been as yet prepared,
but in view Of the, very large sum OF
money it would draw from the Treas
/; ury, and the amount it would increase
, the public debt the committee came to
the conclusion that these bonnties be
paid in land. The bill will be reported
to the House to be printed and recon-
mitted to thecommittee, and it IS the
intention of General Garfield, chairman,
to cab IL up.at an early day. soA ai1c

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

Major Adams, of Riley, Louis We'll, of
Leavenworth, B. f. Simpson, of Miami,
G. w. Babcock, of Douglas, and S. S.
Prouty, of Coffey, were chosen dele
gates to the Republican National Conf
vention to be held at Chicago.
The Convention was characterized by
full delegation, and all seemed imbu-
cd with a spirit of enthusiasm for tic
good cause. The unanimous desire
was for Grant for President. On ma
tional questions there was but cue
voice, end that was for the action of the
Republican Congress, and against the
usurpations of the Executive.
: RESOLUTIONS were adopted endorsing
= General Grant for President, S. c. POM

tanning Congress. The proceedings

TREES FOR THE ROADSIDE.

No better rule can be given than to
choose the best varieties that flourish in
the ncighboring forests. The White
Elm UImuS Americand) and the Sugar
Maple (1cer SdcchdrinuDa) are more
commonly planted in New England than
any others, because they are very hne
trees, and bear removal we'll. They can
be taken from the forest without previ-
GUS preparation, and with careful hand
ling are quite sure to live. But tap
rooted trees are quite as sure to die, I'M
less they are taken from the nurseries,
or have previous root pruning IN the
forest. Nursery grown trees arc much
more likely to live. and in the end are
generally cheaper if they are III the inn
mediate vicinity. They arc much bet
ter furnished with fine fibrOus roots,
and are already accustomed to the sun.
We would add to the list of trees for
the wayside the White Oak (QueT- Ws
0I6d.4 the WhitewoOd (LiTS0desadrOa
Z'ulipfeFa,) the White Beech (Fdgns
Americdaa,) the Black Walnut (Juglaas
niqrd,) the Hickories, etc. and where
it is possible to protect them, the Ever
greens, especially the Spruccs. The
White and Norway Spruces and the
Hemlock, where they can be kept from
the depredations Of cattle, make beau
tiful border to the highway. The most
of these trees flourish in the West, be-
sides others nearly or quite as desirable.
The Kentucky Coffee-tree the Catalpa,
with its snOw-white blossoms; the Sweet
Gum or Blisted, the deciduous Magno-
las, are admirable trees for the West.
The South has treasures peculiar to it
self, as well as many of the magnificent
trees that flourish in our northern eli
mate. What could be more appropri-
ate adornment for the village street, or
the plantation avenue, than the Mdgno-
LA gra'tdifOrG, or the live oaks, which
flourish in their bottom lands, and are
every year destroyed by the new clear
ings for cotton, as if they were rubbish
The South would be rich in ornamental
trees if it had nothing more than these,
which are worth journey across the
continent to see.
We by no means advise restriction
to the trees we have named, but have
simply indicated them as available for
the planters purposes. Variety. is as
desirable by the roadside as In the park
or pleasure ground. 1t is by no means
difficult thing to make an arborctum
of deciduOus trees along the wayside.
If a whole neighborhOod could be
walked up to the enterprise, 1T would be
quite desirable to attempt If. There are
more than hundred desirable decid-
uous trees upon our nursery catalogues,
many of them foreign ones, quite rs
hardy and beautiful as our native trees,
and no more expensive. And If the
nursery is to be the source of supply,
it is better to have variety. The Nor
way and Sycamore Naples are quite as
fine trees as our native naples, and the
elms and oaks of British soil flourish
quite as well here as at home. 1t would
do much for the intelligence and good
taste of town to undertake an enter
prise of this kind. It would redeem
many waste by the wayside. The
wilderness and solitary place w0nld he
glad for such labors. Future genera
tons will rise mp and call the planters

PLANTING TREES.


The sdmonition to plant trees is an /
adage Of olden times. Years may pass,
and it win still be full of meaning
Thousands are making preparations for |
spring operations, In the orchard. the |
lawn or the garden.
Every one notices the beauty In q tree,
whether it is monarch of the forest,
or the heavily laden apple tree of the
orchard. But how much more beautiful,
when planted a dozen years ago by q
mans own hand; under whose branches
his children and his neighbors gather
together, and eat the rosy-eheeked pip
pins. Planting fruit trees we consider
mans imperative duty-as much SO as
| to observe the ten commandments. So
ciety, his family, the community and his
individual welfare require it. The first
divine law after God had made Eden,
appointed Adam to dress and keep the
garden. Here we have the fundament-
al principle which permeates our every
and better nature, to beautify, to enrich,
to make our possessions but SO man:
little Edens.
The food afforded by the various kinds
of fruits, enters IN no small degree into
the economy of a community. All know
that frnits are the most healthful offood.
We are urged by various reasons to

IMMIGRATION,
meIlt.

As the pressure of hard times slowly
but surely crecps upon us, and as the
stringency of the money market is COM
pelling many, if not all of our Eastern
manufacturers to either close their cs-
adjustments entirely, or cut down on
their expenses by discharging many of
their employees, or reducing their wa
ges, consequently, thousands of mechan-
les and labOrers in the East, are either
thown entirely out of employment or
are working at reduced wages, and as
the times grow harder many thousands
of this class of citizens will come West
III tho next few years.
History points to but one cause by
which the West has become populated
and that is oppression. AS the poorer
classes are the first to feel this, they are
the first to seek homes in the West.
They look, and have ever looked with
longing eyes to the West, where they
could secure to themselves and their
children HON estead free from all en-
cumberances. 9c
This country offers superior advan-
| tages and inducements to this class OF
citizens. We are free from all kinds OF
monopolics, our taxes are comparative
light, farms are to be had in.abundance
at fair prices. markets good, plenty OF
work at remunerative prices, good So

INDIAN OUTRAGEs.--We clip the fol-
lowing from the Hays City Advance of
Tuesday:
The Santa Fe coach which arrived on
Saturday morning brought in several
passengers and large mail. From the
passengers we learn that on Wednesday
last band of Indians made descent
upon train belonging to. Powers &
Newman, and relieved it of twenty-five
head of mules. The train was camped
on the Arkansas at the time, about
twenty-five miles below Fort Dodge.
Thursday following they robbed Bran
sons train of six mules and all the pro-
visions. Tom Adkins, the wagon mas
ter, went to Fort Larned for the pur-
pose of obtaining troops to go in pur-
suit of the red thieves. The Indians
who perpctrated these outragcs are said
to be Cheycnnes.
The Railroad Company have abandon
cd the new line run to Fort Wallace,
and Messrs. Shoemaker & Co. are ready
to let contracts for grading to the 3S0th
mile west. 1t would appear from this
that the company do not intend TO go to
Fort Wallace.
