Something New Under the
Sun"

The Voice OF an oppressed People.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. % Some settlers in
Southern Kansas, at Q meeting held at
Baxter Springs, a few days ago, passed a
series of resolutions embodying something
new under the sun. They want a new
constitution for their State, and to pre-
vent land monopoly, they favor the pas
sage of an act to forbid the sale of land
to persons already owners of sufficiency,
and to limit the amount that persons not
owners may acquire by purchase or de-
scent to 160 acres. As a national meas
ure, they demand the revocation of all
grants of land to railroads, except 80
much as may be necessary to the working
of the roads, and the passage of an act of
Congress that will secure to actual land
less settlers upon public lands one quar-
ter section each free of cost, with a
vested right from the date of settlement.
They demand repeal of the national
banking law, and believing that money
should be coined out of the cheapest ma
terial, they demand that the government
shall make it of paper, issue it directly to
the people, and make it legal tender for
all debts, public and private, to the end
that there shall be but one kind of money
for rich and poor alike. They favor the
immediate payment of the national debt,
according to the terms of contract, strict
revenue tariff, opposed to the so-called
protection theory, and denounce the pre-
tence of enforcing the fourteenth amend
ment to clothe the President with the
power of setting aside the sacred right of
self government, and using the armed
heel of his troops to secure his re- -elec-

pUTNAm,s POWDER HORN,

L. E. Sleigh, of Washington, has in
his possession Gen. Putnam's old powder
horn. This relic was bequesthed by
Putnam to his eldest son, who on his
death bed gave it to his grandson William
Pitt Putnam, and he in turn bequeathed
it Gust before his death, about four
months since) to grandson of the Put
nam name, placing it in the care of Mr..
Sleigh. The horn is large one. similar
to old fashioned hunting horns. 1t has a
wooden bottom, and at its base brass
staple to admit the end of the sling.
Upon its side is the following inscription {:
''Csptain Israel Putnam's horn; made at
Fort William Henry, November 10, A D.
1856" Following this are the words,
ga Pan of the Stations from Albany to
Lake George" with rude tracing of the
several forts which formed that historic
GORDON. The course of ''The River'
(Hudson) and "The Road" are also
marked. Then come tho quaint lines of
verse:
"when bows and weishty spears were used in
fight
'rwere nervous Limbs Declar'd q msn of might +;
But now Gunpowder SCOTS such strength to own
And Heroes, not by Limbs, but souls are known /,
Finally appears, in large characters,

inches, the single ord-"W-A-R.n
Besides the letters and figures named,
there are numerous unintelhgible symbols
cut on various parts of it.

IMPROBABLE VANDALISM.

If we may believe the New York
World, piece of vandalism is in pre-
paration in Boston which is not very far
behind the lconoclastic folly of those who
pulled down the Vendome column in
Paris. The World says that certain
Boston speculstors propose to level and
grade the historic mound known as Bun.
ker Hill, in that city, for the purpose of
of cutting it up ints building lots.
Wheiher this enterprise has received
the sanction of the municipal authorities
or the public is not stated, nor are any
details given with regard to the manner
or matter of the work, or the names and
character of those said to be engaged or
interested in the project; so that the an
noucement may be premature, or the
facts even evolved from the depths of
the New York journalists imagination.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
scheme-if scheme there be-will prove
abortive, for the whole country has a
common heritage of patriotic pride in
Bunker Hill, and its destruction, espe-
cially for mere mercenary purposes, would
be considered national outrage, nav, al
most q national crime.

IVORY

The fact may not be very generally
known that very large share of all the
ivory of commerce has been for years
obtained from the Arctic regions and is
the product of elephants that lived, it
may be, hundred thousand years ago.
The whole country lying along the Siber-
ian rivers is vast deposit of the remains
of ancient animals, principally elephants,
who were entombed by some terrible and
wide spread conVulsion. They are found
in the aluvisl soil and in the ice along
the Arctic ocean, sometimes with the
flesh preserved to 80 perfect degree that
dogs devour it. Our Alaska possessions
have the same rich stores of ivory on all
their larger streams SO far as explored. The
marshy ground along them is underlaid
with bones and tusks, and the latter are
sometimes sticking out of the mud like
stumps of saplings. a prominent gen.
tlemsn connected with the Alaska Fur
company affirms there is ivory enough on
/, the Yukon river to supply the commerce
of the world for q hundred years.
Whether this ivory region extends across
the North American continent or is con-
fined to the country between the Pacific
and the mountain range, is not yet deter
mined

GRANT,
He Makes a Speech!

CINCINNATI Sept. 2S Presiden
Grant reached Coyington at l o'clock thil
evening from Brown county, aud pro.
! ceeded at once to his fathers residence.
and later in the evening to the residence
of Amos Shinkel. A procession, con.
sisting of the police force of Coyingtou
and Newport, a detachment from the
Newport barracks, the Mayor of Coying-
ton, Committee of Arrangements and
citizens marched this evening.
A formal address of welcome was
made by Mayor Baker, of Covington. to
which the President replied, returning
thanks for the greeting, aud assuring
them he was gratified that it was not an
ovation shown the Executive by a single
political party. He said it would be his
object, so long as he held Office, he want
ed to be regarded as the President of the
whole people; that there was no reason
why the party in the minority should not
receive the same protection and enjoy the
same privileges as the party in power.
After again returning thanks for the re-
ception he retired to the interior, where
he received calls from several hundred
persons.

Our Railroads.

At meeting of the Railroad Commits
sioners at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
the following resolutions were passed:
Resolved, That We deeply regret the ab-
sence of Hon. r. j. Mckinney, who, BY
his wisdom and learning, has assisted us
heretofore SO greatly in all our delibera-
tiOns; that we symps'hise deeply with him
in his affections, occasioned by the illness
of his family, and sincerely hope that their
recovery will enable him to meet Us at the
next sitting of this Board.
Resolved, That the Secretary give no.
tice in the newspapers at Nashville that
sealed bids will be received at the office of
the Comptroller for the purchase of any Of
the railroads that were attempted to be
sold on the 20th of September, and also of
the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap and
Charleston Railroad, and the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad; which bids will be
considered and acted upon at the next
meeting of the Board.
The Board then adjourned until O'Clock

HAYS CITY.
A Nice Place TO Bring Up q Family

Nice Place TO Bring Up q Family
of Children In.
A Hsys City (Kansas) correspondent
writes.
The sixth United States cavalry is
csmped on Big Creek, about two miles
below small cluster of grog shops on
the Kansas Pacific Railroad, called HAYS
City, q place inhabited by thieves, rob
bers, muIderers, adventures and sdven-
turesses Why they name the place
''Hays City, cannot imagine, unless it
was on account of its being 80 near Fort
Hays (only half mile evidently for
the purpose Of giving it character abroad,
for at home they seem to be living in
the scriptural Injunction: ''Est, drink
and be merry, for tomorrow
ye die" for they do eat, and they
do drink, and if it can be called being
merry mot marry, for they don't do that)
for man to crawl out of bed very lsts
in the morning with flushed face snd
eyes blood-shot and proruding from their
sockets, or for q soiled dove from neces-
sity to leave her nest of rags and fifth
about the same time in the morning with
wan face, followed eyes, and CORFU
gated lips, objected ecunieuanee, snd hair
Strewn about long, skinny neck, and
scarcely able to shove one foot before the
other after q night of debauch, I say If
that can be called being merry, they are
merry. And nearly every Tomorrow
they do die, and they die (ss might be ex-
pected) with their boots on.
A casual observer passing through the
place, seeing q sign over nearly every
door, would think there was a variety of
business carried on at the place; but il
he stop and read few of the signs he
would see that they were nearly al en-
gagged in the same sort of trade, or ''en-
tertsinmenL"-thst's it. enteTtainmenr;
that's what theyesll it. There is pecu.
liari!y about the signs that leads
person to think that ladies
and gentlemen do not live together,
for it is written on some, "This IL
Cakes House. 'tJOe's House, ETC..
while on the others are 'sLsdie,' ParloFs," {"
"Ladies' Department" etc. And to take
a glimpse inside of one of these bell holes
you would think that you had at last
found the real place where il is every fel.
low for himself and the devil take the
hindmost, for the walls glitter with guns,
pistols and knives, where frequently q
poor devil dies to-day, instead of to-
morrow.
| heard gentleman Cat least he had the
appearance of one) yesterday morning
say: 81 don't know what's the matter
with the people at Hays City, for there
were more than q dozen of shots fired in
one house last Light, and not one person
hurt" He thought they must have been
drinking! But last night they redeemed
themselves as marksmen, form one house,
out of thirteen shots, two men were killed
and nine wounded. Who could beat that
in the way of amusement Ole Of the
msn killed was the sheriff.
These statements are only hints Of the
character and conduct of the citizens, or
rather inhabitants of this Hays City.
For rspins generally it viii compare well
at least with any place Of the same nun
bers in the country.
