The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1869-12-17

Hon. Wells Rice and John McCo I'd, Esq. of
Marshalltown, Iowa, called at our sanctum,
one day this week. These gentlemen, friends
Of our fellow townsmen, DR.. Lawrence and
W. W. Williams, are travelling over Kansas
soil in search Of the best town in which to To-
cate. That they are coming to this State is a
fixed matter, predetermined and foreordained.
That they are coming to Emporia is no less
matter of certainty. While they think Tope-
ka Is the prettiest town in the State, because
of the gently undulating character of the
ground on which 1t is situated, its beautiful,
wide streets, and it generous sidewalks, they
are emphatic in the statement that Emporia
has many advantages which our beautiful
capital does not have and never can possess.
We have better and more beautiful country,
timber is more abundant; we have finer
streams and better water power; and, more
than all, our railroad prospects aae better.
We are informed that these gentlemen are
men of large business capacity and abundant
means, and we are glad that they are coming
to Emporia. just such men as these are of
that class which are necessary to the rapid
growth of a town. They will be here in April
or May next. They expect to be accompanied
by host of others. So mote it be.

GEORGIA.

Gen. Alfred II. Terry, who did good
service for the National Government
during the war, and who is now in
command OF the District OF Georgia,
submits a report of the condition of af-
fairs in that State, which, in~view OF
the Presidents recommendation in his
message, is Of the highest interest. He
Georgia life and property are unpro-
tected, freedom of speech and of poIit-
zeal action are not guaranteed, and thai
the freedmen have no rights which the
qaondam rebels deem sacred enough to
respect. This information he has care
fully obtained at the hands of officers
appointed to investigate alleged out
RACES, and from many persons of res
pectability and loyalty in different parts
of the State, some of whom have made
their statements under the pledge of
secresy, fearing the extreme of personal
violence, should it become known that
they had been in communication with
the General.
The Ku Klux Klans seem to have ev-
erything their own way. Shielded by
disguise they perpetrate all sorts of
crime with impunity. And most de-
plorable feature is, that in most cases
the local magistrates lend sympathy
and encouragement to the nefarious in
surrectionists, while in many instances
they are overawed by them and dare
not punish them. In view of this Ia
mentable condition of affairs, the Gen
eral calls on the National Government
for protection. He says:
al desire TO express my conviction
that the only way to restore general or
der In the State is to resume military
control over 1t for the time being, and
ultimately to provide by law that the
Legislature shall Peassemble as Il pro-
visional Legislature from which ali in
eligible persons shall be excluded, and
persons elected .and eligible, whether
white or black, shall be admitted. Such
q Legislature would, I believe, enact
such laws, and invest the executive with
such powers as would enable him to
keep the peace, protect life and proper
ty, aud punish crime"
Whether Gen. Terry's views with re-
gard to resuming military control are to
be entirely concurred in or not, it seems
to US that 1t is high time something be
done that shall put an end to those out
RACES. We expect that ere this Con-
gress has taken some definite action
with regard to this matter.

CHICAGO TO MADISON.

MADISON, WIS.,, Dec. IL, 1869.
My last letter left me in Chicago.
While passing through its principal
streets, it was apparent that the city had
undergone many changes recently, for
very expensive improvements, public
and private, have been added during
the past two years. 1t is claimed that
no less than twenty-five hundred houses
have been erected during the past sea-
son. This does not include buildings
erected by the city, or church edifices.
The court house, which was regarded
as large and very elegant building, is
being greatly enlarged, and in way
that must have taxed the ingenuity of
the architect to so well preserve beau
tiful and symetrical style.
Although this is not the season for
visiting the public parks, the stranger
is quite likely to hear something about
them, and what they are to become
when the work upon them is completed.
The people of Chicago are proud of
these acquisitions, while they acknow-
ledge they are somewhat oppressed in
the matter of paying for these expen-
sive luxuries.
The public schools of the city are
among the very best in the country, and
the marked improvement in them has
| been greatly due to the services of their
efficient Superintendent, Prof. j. L.
Pickard, who was formerly Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction in Wiscon-
sin, where his valuable services will
long be remembered and appreciated.
From Chicago to Madison, by the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad for
the whole distance. The road travelled
DIVORCES from the main trunk of the
Wisconsin division at Harvard, the
branch from that point to Madison be-
ing known as the Madison Branch.
Passengers who are going onward to
Prairie du Chen aud beyond the Mis-
sissippi change cars at this place for the
Milwaukee & st. Paul road.
The people here partook of the COM
mon interest in the affair between D.
Mcfarland and A. D. Richardson, on
account of the fact that Mr.. Mcfarland,
was u ICSAucuI Vi 4AduISOii AT tic
of his marriage, and for some time af-
terward. The people are as discordant
in their opinions relative to the merits
of the case as they are in other places.
1t is remembered that Mrs. Mcfarland
was lady of unusual culture, and that
she sometimes entertained parties by
historical and dramatic readings. 1t is
said that she then contributed to the
columns of some of the leading period
Gals, for which she possessed unusual
qualifications. Mr.. Mcfarland was re-
garded as sprightly and rather talent
ed lawyer. He acquired some reputa-
ton and respectable practice before
they left here for their residence in New
York. No cloud had $50 far as was
known to the public obscured their do
lnestic circle before they left here, and
the common impression was that they
were as worthy and enjoyed as much
domestic happiness as commonly falls
to the lot of the worthy man and wife.
/ suppose the weather has been con-
siderably colder here than in the lati-
tude and longitude of the fair city of
Emporia, for sleighs were running dur
ing the early days of this week, but the
snow has mostly passed away under the
influence of a warm rain. c.
