THE EXCURSION.

The excursion which left Emporia on
last Saturday, Christmas, was one of the
iolliest of crowds. The party had been
anticipating the affair with unusual in
terest, expecting possibly to be disap-
pointed in weather, and so forth, but II
there was any disappointment it was OF
an entirely agreeable character. Though
our reporter was there, he has hardly
had time to talk about it as it should be
talked about, and will therefore simply
refer to the reports which appear in the
Tribune and in this paper by the COM
mittee appointed for that purpose, and
which have been very handsomely done.
The general expression in reference to
the trip was one of satisfaction, and al
though certain Objectionable things oc-
CURED nobody was disturbed by them.
The officers and employees of the Ne
osho Valley road are very properly
thanked for their consideration, and we
should like to take this opportunity to
refer to the Railway as being all the way
through one of the very hest in the
country. 1t is not only comfortable but
a positive luxury to ride in the magnif-
icent coaches which skim over the VAL
lev like bird ON the wing, with the ad-
ditional advantage that bird cannot
sleep on the wing; while the manage
ment of the trains is evidently in expe-
rienced and accommodating hands. II
Is gratifying to know even railroad en-
ployes are accommodating little world
ly wisdom. We do not imagine that an
excursion of this sort could have been
better managed, and we are ur der OBJ

We notice in the Americas depart
ment of last weeks Nears quite a puff
for our business, for which we kindly
thank the editors" of said department.
For the sake of the advertisement we
regret he was not more general in his
description of our stock. For besides
the goods spok' of we have full and
complete stock of all kinds of drugs
An'eytcuS Cor. Enap0Tia Tribune.
The goods spoken of" have, it is true,
been neglected in the Americas "adver-
tisements" for a number of years, our
citizens meanwhile rejoicing in the fact
that ours was temperance town. But
since the establishment of ''the Ameri-
Gus drug store" (by gent. so extremely
modest that he could scarcely be per-
suaded to engage board at the F'public
hotel" for fear of jeopardizing his-the
gents advertisements
and "pufs" (whisky bottles, social
drunks," etc., have been so common that
''two barrels of whisky at time" for
''our business" wouldn't do" much
longer. And while, for the good of
Americas, we disliked very much to
advertise" sour business" to the coun-
try, we thought it high time for some
one to say sit won't do" We believe it
to be the duty of every good citizen of
Americas to Grown it down." And if
the other stores persist in selling flavor
lite bitters" to make people drunk, they
ought to be treated in the same manner.
We are rejoiced to learn that one of our
merchants-Gibson resolved not to
keep any "bitters" in his store. We
hope we shall sometime have enough
such dealers to supply the wants of such
of our people as. do not wish to encour-
age int importance in Americas.

EDWIN n. STANTON.


The Nation's heart is once more srtick-
en- with sorrow. A few weeks since
that grim monster, Death, entered the
Senate chamber, and cut down one of
our strongest men in the person of VIM.
Pitt Fessenden. A fortnight earlier a
cabinet minister fell a victim ITO his
slaughter. And now he has assembled
the Supeme Bench and removed one of
the nations strongest bulwarks. Prob
ably no loss since the assassination of
our beloved President will be so widely
felt and deeply mourned. To the SER
vices of no other man rendered when
the nation was ut its sorest need. are the
American people more deeply indebted.
Succeeding Mr.. Cameron as Secretary
of War at the darkest hour of the war,
he bent the entire energies of his mind,
soul and body to the execution of the
will of the people, and from that hour
to the end of the war a confidence of
final success steadily increased. Men
and means were given with an ampli-
tude and alacrity that, at this day, seems
truly wonderful. Despite the greatest
reverses and the most terrible disasters,
whenever the Secretary of War, through
the President, asked the people for aid,
a ready and hearty response was inva-
riably given. To Secretary Stanton
more than to any other man, except,
possibly, the President, this confidence
of the people was due. No man was
more wise, or more fertile in originat-
ing expedients that should aid in sup
pressing the rebellion. He strongly ad-
vocated emancipation as a military ne
cessity. To him was mainly due the
organization of colored troops, and thus
by this step made negro suffrage an in
cvitable result.
Appointed to the Supreme Bench by
the President, and promptly confirmed
by the Senate, he was called away be-
fore he had discharged single duty
belonging to his new position. He died
between two and three o'clock OH the
morning of the oath inst, at the early
age of 81.
May it be long time before the Ma
ton shall have TO undergo another SO
severe calamity.

1t is generally conceded that the next
census will show a population in Kan
sas entitled to at least three members of
Congress. 1t is also conceded that the
State has need of this increased repre-
sentation at the earliest moment. The
census will be taken next summer, and
the result be communicated to the next
Congress, by whom the ratio will be
fixed.
1t has been proposed that the Legisla-
ture of this winter should re-district
the State, providing for three members
of Congress. This is, however, open to
objection, though doubtless within the
power of the Legislature. 1t has occurred
to us that a simpler, more efficacious,
and wholly unobjectionable way would
be for the Legislature, at its coming ses-
sion, to repeal the present law provid-
ing for the election of Congressman
next November, leaving it to the Gov
ernor to call special session of the
Legislature the spring following, 1S7l,)
after the result of the census and the
Congressional action thereon is known.
The Legislature can then district, pro-
vide for the election of the proper num-
Der of members, and Kansas will have
her full representation two years sooner
than if an election should be had next
November for q single member. Mr..
Clarke's present term expires on the
4th of March, 1871, and in sixty days
thereafter, under this plan, we could
have three new members elected and
ready TO take their seats. No objection
to this plan suggests itself to us at pres
ent. If there are such we shall doubt
less hear of them. Meanwhile, let this
and all other plans looking to an early
increase of our Congressional represen-
tation, be fairly considered.

1t is evident that the contest between the
rival parties in the Church will be bitter and
prolonged. 1t is impossible to form any
opinion as to the probable result of the de-
liberations of the Council but Father Hya-
cinthe puts in threat that if it has merely
been called together to register the will of a
certain party and not to represent the univer-
sal Church, he will 'cry to God and men to
call another truly united in the Holy Spirit.
1t should be remembered in all this that the
eloquent French minister has shown no dis
position to cut loose from the Church, or to
abandon its fundamental doctrines, but he
sees plainly the evils of its past and present
policy, and he desires to have them reformed,
SO that it will in the future represent the en-
lghtenment of the age, and be able to pre-
serve itself by appealing to the intelligence
of its MEMBERS and not to their ignorance
