The Supreme Court of the
State of California has decided
the Fifteenth Amendment to
be unconstitutional. The ques.
ton arose in case entitled
"The People VS.. Brady" the
exact import of which we are
not apprised of, but its consid-
Grafton involved the validity of
the Fifteenth Amendment, and
the court held it to be inopera.
tive and void, for the reason
that it was not within the
scope of the powers covering
amendments, and because it
had not been adopted in the
manner prescribed by the
Constitution. There can be
no doubt that this decision
will be ultimately sustained by
the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States. 1t being a fact
perfectly clear to every per-
son familiar with the Constitu
tion, that in the incorporation
of their amendment to tn e or
ganic law, the legal require
ments governing such cases,
were not observed, either in
spirit or letter. The amend
ment is all intrusion in the
Constitution, a swindle and 9
fraud, and the day is not fal
distant when the decision O
the California court will be sus
tanned by every judicial body
in the country. .--..4,, =.

here is subject to frequent
high winds and sudden chan
ges of temperature. Stone is
found in sufficient quantity
and of the best quality for
building purposes; it is usually
found in the bottom of the
branches and on the tops of the
ridges, and in some places it 80
covers the ground as to render
it unfit for cultivation. In this
locality there are sand stone
similar to that found in Vim

of Fort Scott and Humboldt
lime stone is found. Springs
of water are scarcer here than
IN your part of the country,
wells generally about 25 feet
deep, soft water is sometimes
found; what is termed aIkali
is also sometimes found and is
unfit for use. Roads are ex.
cellent for a new country.
Prairie land with perfect
title can be had for S. per acre,
timber land SIS to 500. The
winters are shorter here than in
in Ohio; the ground is now
covered with 5 inches of snow,
and the thermometer has bee n
down to zero every night for a
week; the ice on the creeks is
from s to 10 inches thick.
Wheat will be ready to cut
by the 10th of June; garden are
often made in March; melons
are ripe by the middle of July.
Prairie chickens, partridges
and rabbits are abundant, but
deer are scarce. There are
bufaloes about $50 to 200
miles west of here.

A Dashing Ex-Confederate

General P. M. B. Young,
who was in Congress two years
ago, has been returned from
Georgia, and also took his seat
a few days ago. He owes his
place chiefly to that eccentric
character, Thad. Stevens. His
disabilities had not been re-
moved when he arrived Lere
in 1869 to present his creden-
tials of election. He called on
"Old Thad." and told him he
wanted his assistance in getting
his disqualifcations removed.
The following colloquy ensued'

It was agreed, when the in

should cease in 1870. That
was the provision expressed in
the law. 1t is very doubtful
whether Congress will redeem
its pledge. All history proves
that while it is easy to have
taxes put upon the people, it it is
hard to get them off. The

The Surrender of Paris---
France Crushed and Bro

France Crushed and Bro
ken.
The end has come at last
After a defense of four months,
which has given to history
some of its finest examples of
heroism and fortitude. Paris
capitulates to the invincible
German. We say the end has
come; sperhaps it were better
to say the beginning Of the
end for poor France is in such
an anomalous condition, polit-
ically, that it cannot be known
positively whether peace will
be the issue of the armistice
just concluded between Favre
and Bismarck. The latter finds
no regular government with
which to treat, and everything
will have to be left to the Ma
tional Assembly, which, ac-
cording to the terms of the ca
pitulation, will be summoned
Immediately. There are doubt
less plenty of hot,headed peo-
pie in Paris, and in the provin.
ces, who possibly may set up
the insane cry of no surrender,
and try to inaugurate a desul-
tory guerrilla warfare; but the
capture of Paris breaks the
power of France completely,
and virtually ends the war.
1t seems like a dream, this
spectacle of France, but few
months ago one of the mightiest
of nations, crushed and con.
quered--half of her splendid
navy, two of her finest provin-
ces, one of her colonies, and
1000, 100000 francs wrested
from her! 1t is unnecessary
to recapitulate the wonderful
story of the most brilliant cam
paign on record; it has been
burned into the worlds memo
ry in letters of fire, and will
never be effaced therefrom. 1t
has left France broken and
helpless, but with a hatred Of
Germany and a fierce desire to
avenge her humiliation and
disgrace, which do not bode
well for lasting peace. But
France will have to produce a
commander combining the ge.
MUS of Turenne, Marlborough,
Napoleon and Moltke before
she can hope to make headway
in the future against Germany,
which has now we'll nigh grown
into an invincible colossus.
Superstitious people will find
in the sad experience of France
an apparent justification oftheir
morbid notions. That expe-
rience is marked with "black
Fridays :" war was declared
on Friday, July 18th; Napo'
leon prepared to leave for the
front on Friday, July 22d the
bombardment of Strasburg
begun on Friday, August 10Th ;
the surrender of the Emperor
and his army atSedan occurred
on Friday, September I'd; the
siege of Paris begun on Friday,
Sept. 9th Toul capitulated on
Friday, Sept. 22d; the surren-
der of Metz, with the last rem.
nant of the regular French ar
my, was communicated to Paris
on Friday, October 28th; and
Paris surrendered on Friday,
Jan. 9th. The movement
inaugurated some time ago, to
remove the popular prejudice
from Friday will come to
naught; the disasters of France
have fully confirmed its bad
character, and black it will
ever remain.

time has been spent in travel.
over the country and convers-
ing with the settlers, some Of
whom have been out to the
very Verge of civilization, -
and they have given me ac.
counts of the country further

country is by no means level,
but gently undulating. South.
eln Kansas is in places trav.
ersed by what are termed here
"Ozark Ridges" from 80 to
$50 feet high, but of so gentle
ascent as to be scarcely discern
able; these elevations afford an
unobstructed view of the coun-
try around as far as the eye can
reach. But no description can
give an adequte idea, it must
be seen to be appreciated =
Not more than one acre in
twenty is yet under cultivation
The crop of growing wheat
looks finely this fall, and more
than an average crop may be
expected next harvest. This
is notas yet a good country for
corn, but will improve when
brought under better cultiva-
ton; all kinds of garden vege-
tables grow in profusion on sod
broken in the spring. Two
crops Of beans and early pota-
toes can be grown on the same
ground in one season. / have
seen sweet potatoes 6 inches
in diameter grown in Kansas;
cotton grows here and about
one half Of it ripens. Th e
prairies are often Is to 20
miles wide with little or no
timber; the soil is from Is! to
80 inches deep and thickly
covered with grass about 10
inches high. Coal is found in
in veins from 18 inches to 4
feet in thickness and of good
quality. Timber, scrubby and
scarce except along the rivers.
Fruit trees are not old enough
to bear, the country having
been settled only two or three
years.
Good prairie claims can yet
be had in some of the western
counties, on the Usage purchase,
the timber claims are all taken,
and no coal has yet been found
west of Montgomery county.
Goods and provisions are
dear, as nearly all the supplies
have to be hauled a long dis.
lance by wagon. At points
reached by railroad nearly ev'
cry thing can be had at about
the same prices as in Ohio
Beef cattle are worth So SO
per hundred, beef 5 to z cts.
per ponnd, pork 8 to 10 cts,
-four $3 00per hundred, wheat
Is cts. per bushel, corn is now
selling at so cents per bushel
Stock raising is the best paying
business in this country, the
prairie grass being so rich that
stock will live on it all winter
unless burnt off or covered
with snow. Very little hay il
provided, as stock growers dc
not expect to feed for over {
