A Few Snake Stories.

The Knoxville Chronicle says:
We learn that Mr.. Samuel Fox, living in the
southwestern portion of Washington county, East
Tennessee. went into the mountains last Tuesday,
to hunt cattle. Not returning in due time, search
was made for him. He was found on Thursday
morning. about ten O'Clock. near the White Rock
in the vicinity of the " Big Butt"-dead No mark
of violence was found on the body, with the ex-
ception of some scratches the arm. The body
was much swollen. Two large rattlesnakes were
found close by the dead body, and the citizens of
the vicinity have no doubt but that Mr.. Fox was
bitten by these venOmous reptiles and was unable
to escape. f--
The Portsmouth, Ohio, Tribune says:
We are informed that man, living in Bloom
township in this county, by the name of Andy
Thompson, last week, killed a garter snake, in a
meadow, and noticing that its body was of an un-
usual size cut it open and found therein ninety
nine young snakes, from three To six inches long
all alive and wriggling. This seems like a pretty
tough story, but it is vouched for by the Rev
James Thompson, a Baptist minister well known
in the Pine creek settlements. If any of our
friends can beat this, let them report.
The Monroe county, West Virginia, Register says:
Last week. near the farm of Jacob Dickinson,
in this county, woman engaged in berrying was
attacked by a large rattlesnake concealed in the
brambles. The snake darted at the wOmar's
throat, inflictng deadly wound, which caused
the poor womans death in five minutes
Mr.. ID. reports eighteen large rattlesnakes killed
on his farm this summer He has also killed two
large copperheads on his premises. These reptiles
had bitten two dogs, causing immediate DEATH
Rattlesnakes not unknown even in the vi
cinity of Boston. The Transcript says:
rattlesnake four feet three INCHES i'm length.
with five rattles, killed in the Lynn woods
last week, by the driver of an excursion wagon,
assisted by an old lady more than seventy, who
brought out a shot gun which did good service,
before any one was bitten.

Corn WANTED.-The Missouri Democrat of the
oath complains that corn is wanted in that city.
1t says:
"Onr receipts of corn have run down to dis
gnstingly low point; and is to be expected,
inst when the corn is wanted most il is not here.
We know Of at least dozen different commission
merchants with Eastern or,lers in their pock-
cts, not ten per cent. of which can be filed, for
want Of stock. One merchant received an order
to-day from a single Eastern firm for sixty-fuur
ears Of high mixed, and couldn't pick up tenth
oft. WEI know Of no market in which more mon
ey could be made ligitimately in purchasing grain
to cary than in the st. Louis market"
While this is the condition of things in ST.
Louis, this part of Kansas is full of old coru and
the new crop already nearly matured. On the
same day the above article was published, corn
quoted in ST. Louis at AZ to 49 cents for mix
ed and so cents for white, sacked, while ON our
streets it could be purchased at 30 CENTS Here is
margin enough to pay for shipping and leave q
fair profit. We need more capital, more enter
prise, in the grain-handling business in city.

T. :. Wills, Esq, who arrived yesterday from
Nebraska, gives us an account Of one Of the most
cold-booded aud 4ttrocious murders We have
heard Of for a long time.
II appears that in Richardson County, Nebraska,
q herd law is in force. The people of two town.
ships in the Southwest corner of that County, are
strongly opposed to it. A man named Balm had
recently settled about four miles from Humboldt,
who was in favor Of the Law. He rented the place
on which he lived. He had been much annoyed
fields, allowing their stock to destroy his crops
and had frequently demonstrated.
On Friday night, at about 10 o'clock, two men,
one with COW bell and the other with double
barrel shot gun, took a position in Bain's corn
field, and the bell was kept ringing though a
COW moving about among the corn. Balm got on
his horse, and went to drive out the cattle, he
suppposed. On approaching the spot where the
bell was sounding. he was shot by the man with
the gup, and fell from his horse, in dying con-
dition. The cowarlly murderers Immediately
fed.
Bans wife. hearing the shot, called to him, and
was answered that he was wounded. She at once
ran to his side, and found him dying. He lived
only few moments. Three large buck shot pas
se'l through his lungs.
Suspicion was at once fixed upon some men in
the neighbOrhOod, and six were arrested as prin-
cipals accessories in the murder. In the house
of one of them, HOllander named Crist, a shot
gun was found with one barrel loaded. The other
had recently been discharged. Remains of q pa
per W ad had been found near where Balm was killed
The charge in CRISIS gun was drawn, and it was
found that the paper wad in il was a part of the
same paper as the wad fired when Balm was Kill
led. re
The murdered man had wife and eight chill
dren. 1t is said that he was quiet, industrious
man. The supposed murderer and his aislers and
abettors are now in jail at Falls City. The mur-
der has causetl great excitement in that region

A TIMELY wARNING.
The Richmond Whig, of the 18th, says:

The Richmond Wkig, of the 18th, says:
The Southern States, under any fair apportiOn-
ment that may be adopted, will have twelve more
than a third Of the representatives in Congress
and In the electoral college. United and harmo-
niOus, this would constitute power adequate for
selfprotecfion, if not sufficient to control the
tiOn of the Government. We have common inter-
ests-one, especially, of towering and controlling
influence, capable of welding the whole Southern
population, black and white, into one solid mass
for joint and common action. Slavery has been
abolished. But sidrery has Rcrr been paid fov. 1t
was constitutional and vested right, if there be
such thing. No government ever eOnfiscated
such property and of such magnitude without
compensation to theindiviiual. 1t would be mon
strOus if ii did, and il would unsettle and con-
found and leopard all other rights. The blacks
can be made to have the same interest in this
right the whites. The market value of the
property Mt the outbreak of the war was estimat-
ed at 50, 0.00O,0OO. The half of that might
redress the whites, the other half would console
ii. e., bribe) the blacks, and prove far more sub
stantial blessing than the imaginary "mule and
40 acres of land" We have no idea Of pressing
this reclamation at the present time. But it is q
render, and would be ready to use whenever op-
portunity presents itself. A Southern conference,
either the coming winter or ut some future time,
can arrange the programme the mode, measure
and time for urging this claim. We would not
hurry tit is permanent bulwark and source of
OF Southern society. Whenever the signal is Civ
en- it will bring white and black together shoulder
to shoulder. The North sold their slaves and
pocketcd the money, and then confiscated the
slaves of the South, for what they pretended was
the public good. They mnst pay for it. 1t is on
ly question of time, and though we all, white
and black, very poor, we are not impatient. They
turned the poor blacks out of honse and home,
with the delnsive promise of a mule and forty
acres, and left them to the cold charity of the
world. The blacks must be paid for their confis-
Gated home and right to protection. But, al
ready stated, we do not urge it at the present
time. We, however, unwilling to abandon it,
or jeopardize its recovery by dsbantling an indie
pendent party organization. That Independent
party will save when all other expedents shall
fail. Gen. Grant himself might be willing to
achieve reelection by according to MS all, and
more than ask. At any rate, it is the best
trump out and, if fjudiciously played may win the
game. The weather is too warm for elaboration.
Hints mnst suffice. Wise men can take and pom
der them; and if there be good in them, like bread
cast up on the waters it will return to bless af
ter many days.

Steamboat Sunk-The Viola Belle a
Total Wreck.

Clark Low, ESQ.,, of Doniphan, informs us that
the steamboat Viola Belle, struck a snag on Sun
day night, near Smiths bar, above Doniphan, and
was wrecked. He could give no particulars of the
disaster, other than the simple statement of its
occurrence.
LATER. II. Garside, of Garside & Son, of this
city furnishes us additional particulars of the
disaster. The Viola Belle had taken the place of
the Fontenelle, wrecked by striking a snak above
st. Joseph on Monday of last week. She was to
run in connection with the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road, from this city to points above. She was
coming from Nebraska, loaded with three thous-
and sacks of grain and sundry other freight. At
about six o'clock on Sunday evening. near Smiths
bar, a snag struck her on the sfarboard side
knocking a very large hole in her hull. She fl
led very rapidly, and sank in twenty feet of wa
ter. No lives were lost, but one man had his leg
broken She sank on the Missouri side of the riv-
er. Both boat and cargo are a total loss.
The Viola Belle was owned by parties in st.
Louis and Jefferson City, and commanded by Capt
Mcpherson. She was valued at abont s9OO00.
The amount of insurance on her we could not as
certain
There were fifteen families aboard of her, pas
sengers going down the river. in addition to her
officers and crew.-Atchison Champion, 18th.

New Cause for Dissatisfactien.

The Democracy have new subject to worry,
fume and fret over, and they are improving the
opportunity. The stand, thus: July 4th, 1876,
will be the centennial anniversary of the Decia-
ration of Independence and it will be celebrated
under an act of Congress, at Independence Hall,
Philadelphia 1t will be attended by Commission
ers from all the States, appointed by the Presi-
dent, upon the recommendation of the Governors.
So far, all right. But then comes the decoration
of Independence Hall. 1t appears that the Hall
now contains portraits tributes to many distin-
guished Union officers in the war to suppress the
rebellion. This is what worries the Democracy.
The St Louis Repmblicas has uttered its blast
against this sacrilcge AMI it is being echoed by
the Democratic press throughout the the country
1t is demanded that these "intrusive objects he
removed, they i'm "bad taste" and offensive
to "our Southern brethren" While celebrating
in honor of the establishment of American Free
dom and Union, care must be observed to have no
mementoes of those who saved it, lest it should
remind those who attempted to destroy it of their
humiliation and defeat 1t would he the more
deplorable to "fauut their conquered flags in their
faces" continue these lschrymose Democrats, from
the fact that there has been "a stronger manifes-
tation in the South than in the North of desire
to revive old associations that belong to us all-
meaning, We suppose, the re-establishment Of
Slavery, the maintenance of power through yio-
lence and terrorism and the election Of the rebel
leaders to the high places in the land
It would be too bad for instance, to look upon
mementoes Of Light Horse HARRY LEE and be
reminded that his descendant, old Gray-back Bon,
was denied place there; while his conquerer,
the Galena Tanner, who whispered something to
him at Spottsylvania Court House, was honored
with niche in the Temple of Liberty. 1t would
be narrowing to the Southern feeling, to look mp
on mementoes Of LINCOLN, and be reminded that
there was no place in the sacred building for
WILKES BooTH or the one-eyed hero of the sleep
ing car. To permit obtrusive portraits and relics
of LYON, ELLSWORTH, WINTHROP, PHIL KEAR-
NEY, RENO, REYNOLDS, SUMNER MITCHELL, Nc
PHERsoN, BAKER, LANDER, LYTLE, and host Of
other departed PATRIOTS to lumber the walls while
the same privilege was denied to ALBERT SIDNEY
JOHNSON, ZoLILcOrFER, JOHN MORGAN, QUAN-
TRELL, BILL ANDERSON, STERLING PRICE, McCUL-
LoCH, BARKsDALE, etc., would be an outrage not
to be endured No, let the hundredth anniversary
of American Independence be conducted on true
Massey principles. And to make a sure thing of
it, if portraits of American Presidents allowed
in the Hall, let the list close with BUCHANAN dis
csrding all who have served since; and prohibit
all menentoes Of men who have gained renown
Southern feelings are such confounded tender
things, and we cannot be too cautious in avoiding
everything that will CRATE harshly upon them.

MoNEY.-Money at the East is very plentiful,
and rates low. Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are laying idle in some places, waiting for takers
and no demand. Out here, money can scarcely
be got hold of, and the complaint is that times
growing harder every day. With our abundant
crops, this should not be. There must be some
other for il, besides little OF no demand for
produce. The rate of interest is higher here than
at the East, and some of the idle capital ought to
seek investment here. We suspect that one great
trouble is in the Kansas laws relative to the col
lection of debts. Our laws seem to have been
framed for the purpose of encouraging men to be-
come rascals, and to avoid paying their debts.
Homesteads and exemptions cover about every
thing; and what cannot be got rid of under these
can generally be managed under the statute of lin
itations. The demasogue cry of protection to Ia
Dor against the monopoly of capital, has resulted
in batch of laws that has well nigh driven capi-
tai away from our State; and scarcity of money
in times when there is no depression or money
panic in the bushes centres, is a common COM
plaint out here. With all the safeguards to pro-
tect labor against capital it turns out that wher-
ever capital is headed off, it is labor that Suffers
Better stop this sort of thing, and let labor and
capital work together in harmony, as they should;
then we would have less complaint of hard times

The LAST WRINKLE-The last wrinkle of tle
Insurance Companies is their spfilsal to insure fe
males against accidents of railroads and steam
boats. The excuse Of the companies is, that when
an alarm of fire is raised ON a railroad car or
steamboat, the ladies' usually thrown into
such a state Of terror that accidents are almost
sure TO follow; and that the losses in the MAST
under this head, have been very much greater
than the gains. Risks against killing outright,
they accept, while declining to insure against
partial injury. The seeming arbitrary action of
favor by husbands who have heretofore taken
ont policies for their wives so that, in the event
of injury, they might he enabled to nav nurses
and doctor's fees, without having to draw on
their own.-Phila. Leiaer

RENEGADEs.-A strong effort is being made to
bring out B. GRArz BROWN Democratic can
didate for President. JAMES r. DOoLITTLE has
been nominated by the Democrats for Governor of
Wisconsin. Tom EWING was a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor of Ohio, but
was counted ont by sharp practice. There is
enough bogus stock lying around loose, that has
been kicked out of the Republican party, to fur
nish Democratic candidates for President, Cover
nors and so on, clear through the list. If the De-
mocracy want to keep thcnl, they mast give them
