On the morning set for their hanging
Gov Harvey on a petition numersly
e,gned, committed the sentence of Mrs
Scales and Ford, both colored, convicted
Of killing q Mr.. Scales last winter, to i'm
prisonment for life and the same day the
sheriff took the prisoners to the peniten-
tiary at Lesvenworth. Mrs. Scales, while
confined in Topeka Jail confessed to hav-
ing poisoned four children of hers in Ten
nessee and daughter of Mr.. Scales
near Topeka, by converting scorpions
into tea and giving it to them to drink.
This Communication business, we are Of
the opinion, will have damaging effect
upon the Governor. The Judge and
jury refused to sign the petitions for a
Communication. The prisoners should have
Suffered the full penalty of the law-at
least the old woman, Mrs. Scales; while
Ford's case might have deserved some
leniency.

It is the general opinion Of most per
persons that some adequate means should
Be used BY our government to meet and
punish the aggressive spirit exhibited BY
the the Coreans. The kingdom Of Co
rea is situated on the eastern coast Of
Asia, northest Of China, comprising an
area Of about $4,000 square miles and q
population numbering ten or twelve mil
lions. The country is rugged and rough
and the inhabitants barbarous and war.
like. The navigation in Corean waters
is difficult and hazardous, very little be-
ing known of its channels. Many bar
barities and cruelties have been inflicted
by these savages on shipwrecked Amer''
can .seamen from time to time and ont
navy some time ago took the initial steps
towards chastisement. 1t looks now AZ
If other nations will have little hand in
the matter Of punishment, IS these GAL
mon-eyed barbarians but short time
ago seized and carried of into the cOun-
try two Englishmen and one German.
A little fight took place on the Island
of Kionghia between the Americans and
Coreans, resulting in decisive victory
for the former, on the llth of June
The full particulars of the battle Of the
7th Of July have not yet been received
1t is now reported that two American
men of war were run ashore, and that
the ships were Immediately surrounded
BY the Corcans, who killed every soul
board except Mr.. Lowe, the American
minister, whom they retain as hostage
President Grant has expressed his de-
termination that five can't get from the
Coreans treaty which will protect our
sailors there in the future, that he will
teach them lesson that will probably
protect our sailors just as well.
We certainly hope this determination
may be faithfully carried out, and that
the American subject may receive such
treatment and respect on a foreign soil
US he has right to claim under flag
that guarantees safety and protection to
its people at all hazards.

her hotels compare tavorably with those
of other towns of like size, among which

ADDRESS 10 the FARMERS Of SALIxE
C0UyTY.

To the farmers Of Saline county de-
sire to saw a word about the fair which
will be on hand now in few days.
We have assurance that many stran-
gers from different parts Of our own
State, rs well as from other states will be
present, and they are coming with ex-
pectations of seeing and noting carefully
what can be raised in our county. We
owe it to the reputation Of ourselves as
farmers, as well as to the good name 1t
will give our land, and the pleasure it
will be to ourselves as well rs visitors, to
see to it that every department is well
filled with articles in exhibition.
There is scarcely farmer but can
place something on exhibition worthy OF
notice and trust will have enterprise or
pride sufficient to induce him to do so.
In neat stock particularly lwish to call
your attention to this fact, thai strangers
have often formed very erroneous opin-
ions about the adaptabi'ity Of our co"n-
try to raising good stock from the failure
of farmers to present such to view while
long horned Texas and scrub Cherokee
cattle were every where brought to their
attention.
Now the true facts arc, that much Of
our native aud grade stock would com
pare favorably with the blooded stock OF
eastern states in symmetry Of form, in
size and in flesh produced by our grass
alone.
Let the farmers once bring out their
fat steers cows and bulls, no matter Of
what grade or blood and l know the
showing will he highly creditablc.

The editor of the Cottonwood Falls
Leader learns that the title to the north
part Emporia is about to be contested.
The story runs as follows. A Leaven-
worth man bought the ground north Of
Sixth avenue, on which Emporia is stu.
ated, from an Indian, but never had the
deed recorded. After the Indian died
his heirs sold the same property to the
town company. The heirs Of the FIRST
purchaser now sue for the property. Rug.

and have commenced action. Eskridge

throw the town company's title to the
south part Of the town, but On what
grounds We did not learn.

a Texas SALT MINE.-The Sal delRey
the great salt lake Of Texas-is mex
haustiblc. 1t can furnish very super.
Tor salt to the whole United States and
Mexico.
The salt is manufactured in the great
laboratory of nature, by process yet
undiscovered. 1t is shovcled up, placed
on carts and carried off. 1t requires no
manipulation to render it fit for use. II
should be washed and ground for table
use. A hundred cart-loads will be repro
duced in a short space Of time in fact
hardly missed.
The immense bed of pure salt is abou,
five miles in circumference. 1t is reason
able to presume that it will never be ex-
hausted, unless the process Of reprOduc.
ton shall be suspended.
Don Salvador Carlcnas, now in charge
Of the lake, says that the present income
from it does not exceed 81, 900 per year.
This arises from the fact that nothing
has been done to promote the sale Of the
supcrabundant article. 1t is said that in
times past . revenue Of $40, 1000 was an.
nually collected by an agent of the Mex.

ssfABllsR MANUFACTURERS.

We have once before said that the
future prosperity Of Salina depends to a
great extent upon the establishment of
manufactures. This is truth which no
one will deny. While the people arc
working for railroads, we say, exert
yourselves to obtain the establishment
of these valuable auxiliaries of wealth.
Better it is to secure but one more rail-
road, or to retain only the one we already
have, and have q half.dozen manufactor-
les of different kinds, than to have four
or five railroads without manufactures.
We, in no way discourage the building
of railroads-we are their ardent friends
but advocate the making of both. One
is rs essential as the other and VIC should
look to both.
There are half dozen counties or
more that depend to large extent upon
Salina as their trading point. We can
continue it as such, or lose it, according
q We act. A wise judgment will decree
that We keep it. There must be one, and
almost exclusive wholesale trading poin,
here in Western Kansas. Junction City
cannot be it, for it is too far cast and the
lay of the country will not permit il.
That point must be west of Abilene
either At Solomon City, Salina. Brook
vile or Ellsworth or that place where
the greater facilities are offered in man.
ufactories and railroad advantages.
Salina county is situated in country
full of natural wealth. Here in Western
Kansas is the soil, and the climate that
will make n paradise and an opulent
people. BY liberality, energy and time.
" action we may remain the chief mari
for all this land. What is needed is
watchfal eyes and when parties seek, &c
establish the different branches Of indus
try and manufacture in Kansas to draw
their attention to Salina ~ offering
special Inducements ofextent of terrific
~, rich country, patronage, &c. And
home capitalists should also, take advan'
tagc of the opportunities by engaging in
the works and by forming companies.

Gently went TO u place on the Shawnee
reserve called " Snake Den" on snake
hunt. They killed LAG snakes Of all sizes
and of several varieties. The largest
was q rattle snake, about three and a hall
or four feet long, with thirteen rattles and
button. They killed also several very
large copperheads, which fought very
viciously, but no one received any dam
age, only from the stencil in killing them
which made them very sick for little
time. Twenty-Five snakes were killed
at the same place few days previous.

strange. When city trebles it's debt IN
