WHAT'S INK DIFFERENCE.

Certain journals seem to kick against
the fact that the report Of the investiga-
ton committee is altogethera farce. We
do not think 50. Let tho report involve
whoever it may. If citizens of Kansas
are plugged in" er pdrte, as they say, let
it be so. In these perilous days of cor
ruption, We want to know the status
Of all our leading men. We want to
know whether they are corrupt or honest.
Whom shall we trust ? is the question
asked by all honest voters, and to find
this out, we must rely to certain extent
upon the record Of the aspirants. II
Snoddy and some others of the invcsti-
eating committee are not above suspic-
ion, it matters not, tor they at least make
themselves of some little benefit to the
State by exposing the rascality of men
in power. Let the work roll on.

ruE INVESTIGATION IN CONGRESS-.

In the Z. S. Senate, on the 9th inst,
Senator Pomcroy offered resolution to
appoint committee to report what ac-
ton should be taken in the Caldwell
Pomeroy investigation, which, after dis
cussion by Caldwell and Pomeroy, was
tabled. Mr.. Caldwell said that he had
not seen the report; that he had posi-
tive assurance that no attempt had been
made to prove that any member of the
Kansas Legislature had been bribed to
vote for him; that the whole proceed
inss was insiigatcd by malice and de-
signed for political purpose; that the
State Senate refused TO send the report
10 Washington and the House declined
10 ask for an investigation tina; he hurl-
cd back the charges with scorn and in
dignation that 1T some future time he
would expose the outrage as it deserves.
Mr.. Pomcroy asked the Vice President
ii the report had been received and
was answered that meme had been re-
ccivcd.

PASSAGE Of TIE HERD LAW.

The new herd law will be in full force
and effect when the commissioners shall
have made an order for it to go into ope-
ration. We believe all the members of
the board are in favor of the law and
will probably put it in operation. As
we have urged before, we urge again,
thnt the farmers make special effort to
commence setting out hedges this season.
The law is regarded unconstitutional BY
many able lawyers, and may possibly
he regarded SO by tho courts, on test
case; and VIC enjoin upon our farmer
friends to be looking out for the future.
1t seems to be pretty well settled by the
action of the legislature this winter that
a constitutional law connot be passed in
this State, such is the fight made upon
it by the eastern members. A good law
can be passed, making hedges legal
fence. We have no doubt but that this
latter plan will Danish any more antag-
onism over the fence question in the fu-
turc

NEW RAILROAD PneJECr.

There is project on foot to extend q
bra. oh railroad from Sallna to Fl. Zarah.
A meeting held one evening last week
at Messrs. Bishop& Norton's Office, was
largely attended by our own citizens as
well ~ by . delegation from Rice county.
Measures were put on foot to enlist the
Kansas Pacific in the enterprise, and the
appropriate committees were appointed
to carry out the object of the meeting.
A road running from this place through
the counties south west TO Zarah would
open up rich tract OF country and not
onlv aid in the settlement Of the UNI
occupied lands south west of us but add
largely to the growth and prosperity OF
Salina, by giving her another important
railroad. Ii this road should be con-
structed, probably machines shops and
other railroad buildings would be built
here. The plan talked ofnOw is that eth
or the north and south road, for which
bonds are already voted, shall transfer
her franchises to the new company, or
that the Kansas Pacific shall build the
road themselves.

Who WAS RIGHr!-Some weeks ago
We made use ola story that 7. l.. Bond.
present Register in tho U. s. Land
Office ut Salina, was elected to tho Legis-
laturc as Clark man and voted for Cald-
well. The Salina Herald had its sensi-
tive nerves terribly shocked at the
thought and sought to make it appear
that we had mlsstated. The Lawrence
Tribune, in touching upon certain matters
of the Caldwell investigation, verifies the
the story in toto. We give the extract
below merely to show that we were not
so wide of the mark after all
The testimony shows that Bond, OF
Montgomery county, was elected to vote
for Clarke that he came to the Legislature
as Clarke man, and was SO recognized
by all that he reported to Clarke. in the
presence of u. n. Adams, and others,
that he had been offered's3. 900 to votcfor
Caldwell, and that the offer was made by
some one in Caldwell's rooms that said
Bond was swift to urge the support OF
Caldwell as soon as Clarke withdrew Is
candidate, and that he got the appoint
mcnt as register Of the Salina land office
from Caldwell rs soon as the Legislature
adjourned. 1t is believed that, rs Bond
is now one OF Caldwelfs office-hOlders
and would lose his Office if he told ths
truth, that his word is worthless n:
against the positive testimony OF sever
al witnesses.

SALIVA.

A correspondent of the Lawrence
Tribune thus writes of Salina and the
country about:
There is no more promising point in
Kansas for trade at present or in the flu
ture than the City of Salina, neither are
there more desirable farming lands,
than are found in the valleys of the
Smoky Hill and its tributaries. Saline

4 Washington special says that the
House committee on public lands, after
considerable deiiberation and discussion,
agreed upon bill which abolishes the
presumption laws and provides that the
public lands can be taken up by settlers
under the homestead act only. The SUBJ
ject Of allowing soldiers to become pos
essed of absolute titles to public lands
without making residence thereon, as
is usual in other cases, was deemed in
feasible by the committee. 1t is said to
be possible, however, that the committee
will recommend reduction of time for
actual residence in the case of a soldier
settlement. 1t is thought that the bill
will pass both Houses.

The Lcavenworth Times, commenting
upon the late Republican convention,
speaks rs follows:
Ono noticeable feature in the action of
tho Convention was the ignoring Of the
prominent men OF the State in the sclec-
lion of delegates. They forgot that Col.
w. A. Philips, Capt. Henry King. Thad-
deus II. Walker, Gov. Chas. Robinson, l..
s. Kalloch, Col, Sells, G. A. Crawford,
and other able men lived in Kansas.
Why did not the Times add to the list
OF " able men" one d. r. Anthony. The
Republicans of Kansas have sent good
men aud good Republicans TO the Phila'
delphia convention, and We are confident
chat they arc able enough to 6ll the

that he hal never refused an interview to

application for an interview, is not
only fatty contradictoi by Muzzy, who
states that be so acted under the express
orders of the ex-Presid,nt, but is also
pronounced entirely untrue by prominent
citizens of Washington city. These gen.
tlcman state that, on the day Of the exc

that she had that very dry witnessed a
