Advices from Kansas, in regard to the
late storms and freshet IL that State, say
that In the neighborhood of Junction City,
and West of there. the flood is reported to
be greater than any other since the settle
ment of the state. Bridges have been
carried away, houses destroyed and dmany
Ives lost. The greatest destruction occur
red at Chapman's Creek, thirteen miles
West of Junction City, where several
houses were washed away and thirteen
persons were known to have been drown
ed, and it is supposed that as many more
have perished. The rise In the streams
was so sudden and unexpected that before
the residents in the valleys were aware of
the danger, their dwellings were surrOun-
ded with water, and all chances of
escape cut off. 1t was reported that
mum mbers had escaped by climbing trees,
and in that situation were awaiting the
decline of the flood. At Manhattan four.
teen dead bodies we re seen to pass, floating
down the Blue River. The railroad bridge
at Chapman's Greek is gone; another at
Eureka, four miles west of Manhattan,
and the new railroad bridge just COM
pleted on the Southern Branch road,
across the Smoky Hill, opposite Junction
City, were swept away. at Topeka the
pOntOon bridge and the bridge of the At
Gibson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad we
either seriously damaged or in danger.

the streams are full, and if the present
weather continues the crops Will suffer

The Courier is willing to let the
reading community OF Evansville con-

ton whether it has convicted the
JOURNAL of changing front on the
Fifteenth Amendment. So be it.
We are content. We are not respon-
sibIe for its inability to see the diff
ference between opposing any meas
ure Of public policy and the manner
and time in which it is attempted to
adopt it. None are so blind as those
who will not see. We have a better
opinion Of the discriminating powers
of the readers of both papers, and
feel confident that they experience
no difficulty whatever in discovering
the difference. We never have sub
seribed to the LoYoLA doctrine that
the end justifes the means, and never
expect to.
The JOURNAL has no disposition to
provoke a personal controversy With
any one. When assailed, however it
always has, and will doubtless Goa

THE Pittsburgh papers seem to be
unanimous in condemning any secu-
lar demonstration on Sunday, be-
cause it is the Fourth day of July.
They criticise the Germans, who
design observing Sunday as the
National Holiday with public festivi-
ties, sharply, and insist on the en-
forcement of the laws for the preser-
walton of the Sabbath as a day of rest
and quiet. Considerable feeling is
being manifested ON the subject by
both parties.

Our dispatches contain the news
that the Great Eastern had been con
strained to cut the cable she was en-
gagged in laying down, and since then
no communication has been received.
The cause of the trouble seems to be
unknown. 1t is supposed that the
difficulty is not serious and will soon
be remedied, when the vessel will
proceed to complete the undertaking.
1t will be a serious disappointment
should the arrangement be so great
as to occasion an abandonment of the

that time. Four years ago l stood
here by invitation of some honorable
gentlemen, who have brought me
here at this time, and laid this corner
stone of the monument which we
are brought together to-day to
