EDITOR News A friend suggests
that it would be advisable to send few
items for publications, this week. so l
shall acquiesce to the suggestion, though
the communication must necessarily be
short, my time being very linited. The
mail soon leaves. aud we viii be Isolated
from all creation IS far rs mail facilities
are concerned, ill another week shall
have rushed onward over the ocean of
time into the abyss of the past. We
the benefit and privileges of a daily or
tri-weekly mail, which we are justly
entitled to- and which Uncle Sam should
in all just consideration confer upon us.
Mail day in our town is really q gala
day-a great day for the transaction of
business of every description.
am pleased that the fact can now be
chronicled without fear of refutation,
that we are soon to have first class
newspaper started here. We have just
been favored with a visit from Mr.. Me-
Cune. of indianapolis, who proposes to
bring paper here in few weeks. He
is gentleman of pleasing address, pos
sessing morality and intelligence, and
adequate in every respect to fill the res
ponsible position of editor. Our citi-
Gems have nobly acquitted themselves in
the assistance and encouragement they
have rendered toward the support of
the paper, having raised six hundred
dollars in our midst to be devoted to
that purpose.
This ready and praiseworthy response
we consider convincing argument in
favor of the intelligence and morality
of our citizens. Should our paper
prove as successful, and as conducive to
our interests as the News" has been
and now is to Emporia particularly, and
Southwestern Kansas generally, we
shall feel beautifully repaid for our
trouble and all expense. This is not
idle speculation, but an encomium OF
praise inadvertently though meritori-
ously bestowed.
Last night we were the recipients OF
a hard shower of rain. We believe that
contagious disease, .''drouth on the
BRAIN" is entirely eradicated, though it
hung OH tenaciously, considering the
uniavorableness of the season.
Building is progressing slowly for
want of lumber. j. Strickland's stone
house is beginning to show conspicu-
ously-convincing us that our stone is
of the best quality for building mate
rial.
Sickness is prevailing to some extent,
though of bilious character entirely.
Physicians are .reaping their reward for
their patient waiting. DIR. Kellogg, our
young and popular disciple of Escu-
lapius, rides night and day. There has
been no fatal sickness, either from the

THE GOLD PANIC.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial details the shameful oper-
atoms of the bulls and bears in Wall
street some days ago, and which result
ed in the disastrous defeat of the bulls.
The account is intensely interesting,
giving the causes of the rise and fall in
gold, and reprehending the internal
speculations of the gamblers. When
it was understood that Secretary Bout
well would not sell his surplus gold,
the bulls, knowing they could do so,
determined to force the market to the
highest point, and which was at once
attempted; but through the unexpect-
ed and false announcement that the
Secretary would buy in four millions
of bonds, it proved disastrous failure.
The consequences of this infamous gold
speculation is fearful, not only in its eff
feet upon the spectators themselves,
but upon the country. If the sale of
the Secretary's surplus gold could eff
feet nothing better than the overthrow
of Wall street, it would be a commend
able policy. We almost blush for our
government when we think of the
gambling practiced during the war,
when the Republic was enduring the
strain which might have resulted in
her destruction. These scoundrels who
live but to disgrace humanity are still
at work and still go unpublished. The
panic in money circles has not been as
great since '57. Atone time during the
panic gold reached the enormous figure
of $l.60.

in contemplation to enlarge THE NEWS on the

pie Of Lyon and adjoining counties will place
In our hands the means to do so.

sEDGEwICK COUNTY.

SenatorJ. r. Mead, ofTowanda, called
this week, and from him we gathered
the following items in regard to the new
county of Sedgewick.
The county lies on the Arkansas, and
has heretofore been considered, by
many, as part of the "great American
Desert" where vegetation would not do
well. The soil for years has been known
to be rich and productive by many of
the old settlers on the Walnut and the
whitewater. In 1860, when the grass
was short in most of Kansas, fine hay
was made on the Arkansas in the vicin-
ity of Wichita. Mr.. Mead says that the
Arkansas valley is now considered just
as rich and productive as the Kaw val
ley. 1t is on the Usage land lately
thrown open, and the land is open
for settlement at $1,25 per acre.
Two years time are allowed in which to
pay for the land. 1t is being taken up
by settlers rapidly. a census has been
taken and more than the required popu-
lation found for the organization of a
new county. Mr.. Mead takes to Tope-
ka the necessary papers and the county
is to be organized at once.
To show the productiveness of the
soil Mr.. Mead brought us some enor-
nous White Neshannock potatoes. He
saws $50 bushels of them were raised on
q half acre of ground. They were raised
on an old Indian garden patch.
Doctor Lewellen has young peach
orchard of 5000 trees, which have grown
five feet from the seed this season.
Sedgewick will be one of the best
counties in the interior of the State.
The town of Wichita will undoubted-
ly be the point at which the A. L. Il s.
+. road viii cross the Arkansas, and it
ness. It is growing now, and business
is brisk. Thousands of Texas cattle
droyers cross the river at this point, and
many of them sell their cattle here.
This makes money plenty. The Senator
was the happy pOssessor of several
q waller boys,S which is the circulating
medium of the Texas drovers.

on ht not 10 be 50 very sensitive that
the mere mention o his name ia an I'M
favorable way makes it act like snap
ping turtle. Last winter a resolution
was introduced in the Legislature look
ing to the impeachment of Judge Della
hay for drunkenness. To save himself,
the Judge (of poor whiskey) promised
to resign, and placed his resignation in
the hands of friends. For the sake of
his family the resolution Vas with
drawn. After the Legislature adjourn
ed, however, Delahay got possession of
his promise and destroyed it, thus play
ing the :. little joker" with members of
the Legislature. His action called forth
severe comments from the press. The
Tribune took up the cudgels" for Del
ahay and told vulgar joke, as usual.
This was the comment the Tribune
made on an affair in which all the best
citizens of the State felt an interest.
This is the way it treated an attempt of
the people to rid themselves of dis
graceful drunkard who holds the i'm
portant position of United States
Judge. We said nothing at the time,
because we thought we could stand it
if the Tribune could. And this is why
we humorously said we supposed the
Tribune would take to heart the ridi-
cule of the press on Delahay's Z" spread
eagle" effort at Keokuk.
A few weeks ago we inadvertently
called the Tribune Clarke's organ, and
forthwith it ''fiew to pieces" and denied
it. We did not then know it was
ashamed of its company. We have not
alluded to it as Clarke's organ since.
Until the appearance of the above ''me-
tropolitan" slap we did not know it was
ashamed of Delahay. We will not
joke it again about him. On the whole,
Speer, we have concluded to ask your
pardon.
Please send us down a list of the
names of the political galutes and shys-
tiers whom you defend, in connection
with whose name you would like to
have the Tribune mentioned. Pale,
honest John.

SOUTHERN BRANCH ROAD.

The track on this road will be COM
pleted to Council Grove this week, and
Mr.. Stevens, the General Manager,
hopes and expects that the road will be
completed to Emporia by the LIST of No
vember, and to Burlington by Christ
mas. Sickness, high water, and wet
weather have impeded the progress of
the work beyond the calculation of the
contractors, and they have now finally
concluded not to attempt to go further
than Burlington until spring. Mean
while they will settle right of way, and
get out ties, etc., for an carly resump-
ton of operations in the spring.

Friend Thomas II. Stanley came home last
week from :: trip. into the Indian Territory,
where he went with the peace commissioners
sent out by the society of Friends. His trav-
els extended nearly to the borders of Texas,
and most of the return trip he made alone, on
pony, camping out by himself at night. He
thinks the ideas entertained by some people of
an Eldorado southwest are principally imag-
inary-that ''distance lends enchantment to
the view The country became poorer, he
thinks, as he proceeded southwest, until eX-
tensive divides of poor, red, thin soil, exhibit
ing only the buffalo grass, were the features of
the country. Lyon county, in his opinion, is
far ahead of any country seen on his trip.

There seems to be no cad to the con-
troversy occasioned by the publication
of Mrs. Stoves g True Story and so
long as the facts upon which she POUNDS
her article remain unestablished by ey-
idence the controversy must continue.
1t seems to be desirable that she should
prove the assertions which affect the
character of Mrs. Leigh, as that iady's
life has been esteemed above reproach,
and as she has left children whose repu-
tations it is well enough to consider.
We do not imagine that Mrs. Stowe
would publish such an article without
due consideration and advisedly but
the evidence is called for, and if in ex-
istence will no doubt be produced.

a. W. Randall, then Postmaster GEN
eral, reported at the last session of the
Fortieth Congress, it win be recollect-
ed, an estimated deficiency in the Post
Office appropriations for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1869, of 100000. The
appropriation was made, and now, the
accounts for the year being closed, Post
master General Cresswell shows an I'M
expected balance of $1,5O0,OOO. That's
the difference between Republican and
Democratic rule. We presume had the
Democrats retained control of the de-
partment there would have been de-
ficiency instead of a balance.

ToUCHY.-We are sorry our friend j.
mighty touchy. We have an affection
for the old Tribune. 1t is good paper,
and with an occasional exception is
sound. j. Speer can't get us to quarrel
with him. We could not think Of that,
because we like him and his paper too
well. We have said some good things
for the Tribune, and they have been re4
turned with more than double interest.
We hope to continue on good terms,
but we are at loss to account for the
following ill-natured paragraph from
that paper of a few days ago:
ORNITHoLoGICAL. -THE EMPoRIA
News editorially refers to the remarks
of Judge Delahay before the late Keo-
kuk Commercial Convention, as a
the Lawrence Tribune will take it seri-
ously.
We cannot call to mind any instance
of our uttering unkind surmises in rela-
ton to THE NEWS, and we shall never
accuse its editor of indulging in any
thing of a spread-eagle character. He
doesn't belong to that class of birds.
We have always thought him rather
dove-like, and we are sorry to see him
betray his species, by STOPPING to pick
up the carrion which, for want of bet
ter ammunition, haters of the ITibaae
have flung at us"
We were not aware that we had
picked up anything to fling at the 71T-
6uRe. In saying we wondered if that
paper would not take the jokes of the
State papers over Delahay's speech Sc
riously, we intended no malice. We
said it more in the way of joke than
anything else, and we are sorry the ITi-
6uae assumes the peculiar functions of
the joint-snake and flies all to peices at
such slight touch. The Tribune has
lately been making itself the organ and
defender of Delahay, Clarke, Pomeroy,

The prairie northwest of town has been
burning over for the last two days. 1t seems
strange that the prairie grass should burn
when so green it now is, but it is now de-
monstrated that it will not only do so, but that
it will make such fire as is dangerous to the
welfare of fences and hay. Steps toward pro-
tecting the fields and other proper against
prairie fires cannot too soon be taken. No
doubt this fall will witness the greatest fires
ever seen in this State, and thousands of dol
lars worth of property may be saved by timely
action against them.
