ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We do not exactly know to what ex-
tent the desire to see ones own ideas in
print prompts the writing of commu-
nications for the press, but we are very
firm in the belief that an ambition for
this foolish sort of vanity does have a
lodgment in many human breast. Per-
haps few suggestions may be of some
value to newspaper contributors-if
needed We know they will save the ed
itor and his readers a vast deal of yalu-
able time and patience.
In the first place, we would say: Do
not attempt to write for publication I'M
less you feel certain you have something
to say that is worth saying and will pay
ones time for perusing. An editor has
a wide field to Gull from, and can find
plenty of matter that is worth the read
ing, and is therefore not justified in pub
fishing an article that is not really first
rate.
In 1.-THE second place. Being fully assur-
ed that you have something to say that is
really worth giving to the public it will
be your duty to get your thoughts in
proper shape for publication. Have
clearly in your mind what You wish to
say, before beginning to write. Then
clothe your ideas in good English, Gf
you are writing the English language,)
and make your statements just as con-
else and Ineligible as you know how.
Aim to make yourselfunderstood, rath-
er than to show your ability to tumble
together in senseless jargon a large
number of pompous words and loud
sounding prases. Try to be grammati-
cal rather than eloquent, and, If posi-
BILE, be brief.
3rd. Stick to your text. If the
subject of your article be Temperance,
or Summer, or Flowers, or Beauty, or
Home, or Geese, or anything else, stick
to that only, and do not introduce a
score of other things entirely foreign to
the topic you began with. Whenever
your stock of ideas pertinent to your
subject is used up, it is time to stop
your article is finished. If you want to
write something else, commence new
article with the proper heading.
4th. Do not contribute more than four
or five communications ON the same SUBJ
ject in less time than one month. "Va-
riety is the spice of life" And do not
contribute too frequently on any sub
ject.
9Th. Write legibly, SO that compost
tors shall not have to devote double the
amount of time otherwise consumed, in
deciphering your chirography.
9th. Make yourself familiar enough
with the principles of grammar to know
that every subject of sentence must
have its predicate, so that when you be-
|, gin q sentence intending to make an af.
firmation of some noun you will not
pile word upon word and phrase upon
phrase until you have forgotten what
you started out to say and thus leave
your sentence unfinished.
It'll. Spell correctly.
9Th. Don't bepersonal.
9th. Write only on one side of the pa.
per.
Finally. Don't get mad if your effort
does not appear in print.
Editors are always glad to publish
anything that is really good-full Of
? ideas, not stale, well prepared, correct
in photography and syntax, notabusive
succinct, to the point, and plainly writ.
ten. Contributions exactly the reverse
of this they do not crave.

We notice in our exchanges the fact
that the Burlington people are making
strenuous efforts to secure the building
of the above road to their town. We
do pot OF course believe they will be
successful, as we are firm in the faith
that it will strike Emporia but still we
cannot afford to remain entirely mac
tive. There is much strength in cork,
and we know that all our citizens need
TO become thoroughly aroused is a sim
pie belief in the necessity for action.

WASHINGTON Feb. 8.
The Reconstruction Committee has
agreed to report o bill to enforce all
amendments recently made to the Con-
stitution of the United States. 1t origi-
mated with Mr.. Lawrence of Ohio, and
is deemed necessary because Chief JUS
tice Chase held in his decision at Rich
mond last summer, that the Constitu-
ton does not execute itself.
The Military Committee in the begin
ming Gifts investigation into the sale of
the naval and military cadetships has
called ON the War Department for all in
formation at its command, bearing on
the inquiry. Some facts of a confideR-
tial character have already reached them
to be brought ont in a proper way by
examination.
The Republicans in Congress do not
seem 10 be well pleased with the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the legal
tender cases, for they think that if the
question had actually been before them
the court would have decided the legal
tender act wholly unconstitutional. In
fulfillment of these views, Mr.. Ingersoll
of Illinois, made two unsuccessful efforts
to-day, to introduce an amendment to
the Constitution, authorizing the issu-
ing of legal tender notes.
The Senate had an executive session
to-day and referred the nomination of
the new Associate Justices. There
seems to be just as much opposition to
the confirmation of Mr.. Bradley as there
was to that of Judge Hoar. All of the
fifteen southern Senators and some of
those from New England viii vote
against him. A great portion ofthe OBJ
lection is made on the ground of the
section from which he was appointed.
The Appropriation Committee of the
House had up the naval bill to-day, and
cut it down very materially mostly in
the navy yards.
It is claimed that Gov. Walker has
just appointed man Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Virginia, vice Lewis, elected
| Senator, who cannot take the test oath
An effort was attempted in the House
to-day to investigate it, but objection

NEW YoRK, Feb. 8.
Great indignation exists here in re-
gard to the outrage on American citi-
Zens in the streets of Havana on Sun
day last. The house of Lanman s.
Kemp, in Front street, for whom these
gentlemen went to Havana, has been
visited to-day by numerous merchants
expressing the greatest sympathy with
the firm, and urging that Immediate APP
peal be made to the administration at
Washington to obtain the fullest salts
faction and whatever redress possible
from the Spanish authorities. The par
ties assaulted are all well known New
Workers. Greenwald leaves wife and
seven children; Foster, who Is in dan
gerous condition, is Mr.. Kemp's neph-
ew; johnson has wife and two chill
dren. Further particulars of the out
rage have been received to-day, and
these represent the affair as one of the
most cold-blooded murders on record,
originating in the hatred toward Amer
lean citizens.

The declarations of Henry K. Foster,
Hugh johnson aRd Gardner Wells,
Americans, who were attacked by an
unknown man, were taken before the
American Consul. All agree in de-
nouncing the assassination of Green
wald as most inhuman and without
cause.
Greenwald was buried yesterday. To-
day his body was exhumed for embalm-
ing. The corpse will be forwarded to
New York. After the assaesin had shot
Greenwald, he commenced beating him
and the two wounded men. Harry Fos-

/ have never seen so little drinking
in legislature as is done by the menu
bers of the present body. Perhaps this
may be accounted for from the fact that
a large proportion of the members have
their wives with them at the Capital.
POLITICAL
The committee appointed TO investi-
gate the charges of corruption against
our congressional delegation has been
discharged from further consideration
of the subject. This is as it should be.
The investigation could amount to
nothing practical. There is no doubt
but an interesting report could have
been made, but to have the investiga-
ton proceed before the legislature
would consume all the time of the ses-
sion and would have been fruitless of
results so far as the resignation of our
member of Congress and Senators
were concerned. OF course they would
not resign if unanimously requested to
do so. There is no doubt but that they
are in bad odor with the present legis-
lature, and that all feel that the State
vestigation would have amounted to
nothing in securing this end. There
fore IL was altogether proper to stop
the proceedings. Nothing more is
wanted to prove the infamy of at least
one of them than the fact that when he
went into the Senate he was Gas poor
as church mouse" and that ne now is q
millionaire. He lives in grand style at
the nations capital, and it is impossible
that he could SO live and accumulate
millions of dollars legitimately in eight
years.
ADJOURNMENT.
There has been some talk of an adj
journment until the latter part of Au-
gust, in anticipation of the action of
Congress on the new apportionment
under the census soon to be taken. 1t
is now believed that Congress will do
nothing that will enable US to get an
increase of representatives in the next
Congress, and it is not probable that the
legislature will adjourn until the expi-
ration of the fifty days, which thank
fortune is near at hand. Many of US
would hail with delight sine die adj
journment any day between now and
the expiration of that time. The gener-
al appropriation bill is not reported
from the committee yet and that alone
viii take eight or ten days considera-
ton.
STATE INSTITUTIONS.
There has been a good deal of talk
about the consolidation of some of the
State Institutions and their locatian at
the Capital. Resolutions looking to
this object were tabled by strong ma
jority. None of our educational insti-
tutions have fairer reputation through
out the State than the Normal school.
There has been no proposition to re-
move it. On the contrary, it is admitted
by ali that we shall soon need two OF
three others in the State at different
points to accommodate the rapidly in
creasing demand for good school teach
ers.
