The Radical Convention.
HOWE NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS AMI
HILL FOR ELEcToR.

HILL FOR ELEcToR.
From the Grenada Sentinel
The Radical convention to nomi-
nate a candidate for Congress to
represent the second district met
here last Thursday. II was called
to order by Hon. Marion Campbell,
of DeSoto, and organized by elect
ing G. M. Bowles, colored, of Boil
var, as temporary chairman, and
Sheriff johnson, of Sunhower, as
temporary secretary. After going
through the usual parliamentary
tactics for supremacy between those
interested, the double delegation
from Marshall county retired, and a
committee on credentials was named.
While the committee withdrew for
business, Ben. d. Nabers addressed
the audience in kind Of rugged load
speech--frst here, then there with
no end in view than to damn Gree
ley aud paint Grant as a greater
man than Washington. Evidently
Ben. was happy and trying to make
the best OF bad cause. We heard
him often years ago when he could
speak, but last Thursday it was
all cbild's play to his past glory.
Like a man in his dotage, Ben. Ma
bers has the glory Of the past to be
proud of, and the shame Of the pres.
ent to feel sore over. He was fol-
lowed by George Il. Harris, in a set
speech which he made at Holly
Springs, printed in Washington at
the expense Of the people, repeated
it here for a second time, aud which
he will speak again during the can
vass. He knew his piece well, aud,
like the schoolboy, told it something
after the fashion Of

lie was followed by a colored man,
who declared himself a representa-
tive of bis race, but of whom bis
race ought to be very much ashamed.
He started by saying he was not
worthy of tying the latchet OF the
shoes Of Nabers and Harris, and we
thought SO too --for he deliberately
stated that he was afraid that if
Greeley was elected it would bring
the colored race again into slavery
and the coIored delegates applauded
TO the skies. He was finally pulled
BY the chairman to order by the
coat-tail, and sneaked back to the
audience in about the style turtle
draws its head inside its shell. The
committee on credentials brought in
a majority and minority report on
the Marshall county delegation, and
after much maneuvering and cross.
firing, the majority report, admitting
the Gill delegation (colored side),
was carried with great applause.
Marion Campbell and Bruce (col.),
from Bolivar, had a set-to, which
gave the prevailing impression that
Bruce would be the successful can
didate for Congress, but the latter
declined, as be has a better thing in
Bolivar county, where he 10 /" boss

This popular troupe is entertaining
Emporia this week, at Bancroft hall.
There are several new and good mem
bers, and it does not attempt anything
it cannot do to advantage. The at
tendance has been very good. Miss
Sylvester's versatile talents are even
better sustained than on her first visit,
last year. The programme each night
has been very attractive. This (Fri-
day. evening is set apart for Mics
Sylvester's benefit. The bill comprises
the beautiful drama of fLorle,' and
the musical farce of "Jenny Lind"
We expect to see a crowded house.
Seats may be secured at Fox & Had
ley's. Tomorrow is the last night,
with a splendid programme. From
here the troupe goes to Topeka. We
believe its uniform success is largely
due to its live and skillful business
agent, Mr.. Post.

under horse. which slipped down on
the ice. The bone was broken square

truded through the skin, making . bad
wound. Mr.. Miller put the bone back

who found it all right as to position.
John H. Cowan is sinking a shaft
for coal. He ffrst commenced digging
for water, but finding some coal at
about As feet, and there being strong
indications of coal in paying quantities
he has abandoned the idea of water,

at last accounts he had gone 90 feet.

Our Coal Mine.


Saturday evening a number of pro-
minent citizens met IN the city council
room to consider the best plan of min
ing the coal deposits here. The sub
ject was freely discussed, and it was
unanimously agreed that the coal
must be mined this season. A COM
mittee was appointed to draft ARTICLES
of an association for the purpose oil
organizing a company to bore hole
and upon finding the coal to mine the
same. The committee is II. C. Cross,
E. p. Bancroft and Capt. Sebastian.
They propose to get up joint stock
company to bore hole near the north
western lice of tho city, and as soon as
coal is reached in paying quantities,
sink shaft and bring 1t up. The i'm
portance of the enterprise can hardly
be exaggerated. We suppose that at
least $500 per year are now sent out
of Emporia for coal. Open a mine
here, and that $50, 600 not only stays,
but 100000 to 100000 per year would
come in from other places. Besides
that, it would give the fuel basis for
extended system of manufactures
Each property owner and resident Of
Emporia is deeply interested in the
matter, and all should take stock to
some extent. The more stock taken
right here, the better.

Yours truly.

WATERLOO, Lyon Co., Feb. 2, 1872.
The weather keeps our people quiet.
Some are busy feeding and taking care
of their stock, aud quite a number are
getting saw-Iogs and preparing to
build next spring and summer. There
is steam saw mill now In operation
on Chris. Wards land on 142 creek,
about three miles above the crossing of
the Lawrence road. Some men by tho
name of Fletcher are running the mill.
The ground being frozen most of the
time this winter makes log hauling on
wagons go very well, and as the mill
will only remain for short time long
er, people are making an effort to get
in as many logs as possible.
Last spring David Frazee purchased
a quarter section of land just west of
Major Hicks. He has fenced in about
half of it and broke about forty acres.
He has up tine frame of new house.
he is using mostly pine lumber. The
house is 20x30, two stories. He dug
and stoned the cellar last fall. The
carpenters are now at work On it. He
expects to have it ready to occupy by
early spring. Mr.. Frazee is single
man. Young ladies will do well TO
make note of that, as this is leap
year.
Jacob Taylor has purchased the old
Nickel place, just at the crossing OF
l42 creek. He lives ON the place.
Mr.. Taylor, and David Frazee, and
j. n. Frazee are handling good many
cattle. They sold about 200 head OF
steers in the fall, and they are winter
ing quite large herd. They deal in
native cattle, and every few days are
to be seen riding around the country
picking up few steers wherever they
can find a man that wants little
money and has few steers TO sell
That is the way to do business. KeeI
the money in circulation, and let it dc
all the good it can, for there is moi
much OF it in these parts at present
The condition of the wheat crop can
not be determined yet. Fruit buds al

wHArywE THINK ABOUT 1T.

The communication from "R. S. To-
which we print to-day is inserted in
accordance with the rule that governs
all properly conducted newspapers
that our columns are open to the tree
discussion of all public matters. So
far as we know, the statements made
in this particular communication are
correct. If not, the author is RESPONSE
BILE, and those who take exception to
his assertions are as free as he to eX-
press their views throu. ;h THE News.
May we add a few suggestions? 1t
is very hard to drive men. Most peo-
pie get very obstinate when coercion is
attempted, and persist in doing things
they really regret having undertaken.
This is one reason why newspaper ar
ticles often fail to secure their intended
effect, even when that effect should of
right take place. Nobody is perfect.
Good men and citizens make serious
mistakes, and even do very wrong and
impolitic things. A man is enterpris-
ing in one way, and provokingly old
fogy in another way; honest and re-
liable in the main, but som etimes falls
from his standard; very good and
useful citizen generally, but gets on
the wrong track once in n while.
This is fair description of nine-tenths
of every community, and we presume
1t will answer for this one. We all
have to bear good deal from each
other, now and then. We all have our
turns in being stupid, obstinate, per-
verse, wrong-headed, pig-headed, even
mean, and larger proportion than
good people know of are capable of
being even dishonest to a considerable
extent when temptation and oppor-
tunity combine their inducements.
Pity tits, tits true.
Consequently, while our columns
must always be kept open for the I'M
trammeled discussion of public affairs,
we suggest to all who may at any time
have evils to expose, wrongs to redress,
or wrong-doers to rebuke, that they do
not lose sight of the good that is in
those whom they call to account, and
that they write, and so far as possible,
feel, in u considerate spirit We offer,
no apologies for anyone's errors or mis-
deeds. We do not refer here to the
particular communication or its sub
jects mentioned at the beginning of
this article. We are taking the oppor-
tunity to suggest general line of poll
cy for everybody. 1T seems to us that
we are all sinners, each having his
own particular faults, and yet that
those are very few if any among us
who are not on the whole useful citi-
zens, and manage in the end to do their
share toward the general prosperity of
our fiourishIng city. Even the i'm
neutrality-suspicious. cannot undo
the great work they in other respects
help to accomplish, and we warrant
their children will see the day when
Emporia is developed everywhere,
when water runs freely at every street
corner, when mud is pretty much BAN
ished from the city limits, and when
the vacant streets that now cannot see
the use Of improvements echo TO the
chatter of busy feet over continuous
lines of clean swept sidewalks.

PRoV. Hoss.-We We're unable tc at
tend the lecture delivered Tuesday
evening of last week by Prof. Hoss,
for the benefit OF the Benevolent So
ciety, and therefore forgot to mention
it in our last issue. But judging from
the Humboldt Unions notice of the
same lecture, delivered there on the
Friday evening previous, it was we'll
worth listening to. The Union says:
The lecture of Prof. Hoss last week
on Friday evening, at the NJ. E. church,
was most excellent. The Professor is
a good speaker, and entertains an audi
ence well. His subject, "Woman-
Her Work and Education" was hand
led in a mastery manner, being an
appeal for the opening of all avenues,
professional and business, to feminine
competition, giving women equal
rights in business matters with men
and no more. 1t was a moderate, sem
sible paper

The House Visits the Normal School
An ImprOmPtu Excursion and = Good
Time.

a
Time.
| Saturday news was received here
that on motion of Mr.. Eskridge, tbs
House at Topeka had resolved to use
Monday IN trip to Emporia, to see
the State Normal School, that the
members might understand thorough
~ the merits Of the bill to appropriate
$4,000 for a new building for that in
stitution. Short as was the notice, the
city council met and arranged to have
the excursionists properly received
and cared for. The Robinson house
contracted to provide the dinner, and
various prominent citizens proffered
their services to show the guests pro-
per attention.
At about 10 a. m. Monday the excnr-
sion train arrived with about 100 pas
sengers. The train was very. gencr-
ously furnished free O.. charge by the
A. T. & s. +. road, and was run with
special view to the comfort of those
on board. This liberal enterprise on
the part of that company is worthy Of
especial commentator.
The party was received by a num-
Der of our citizens, and escorted to the
Robinson house, and from thence tax
en- in carriages to the Normal School.
The school was in session as usual, and
the visitors improved the opportunity
to examine its workings, facilities, and
acquaint themselves in all respects
with its condition and requirements.
Mr.. Eskridge and Mr.. Stotler, with
the Directors and Faculty, encouraged
the fullest investigation, and the re-
suits appear to have satisfied all that
the appropriation asked for should be
granted.
The next thing was the dinner, and
the Robinson house fully maintained
its enviable reputation in that line.
The visitors had an hour or two to look
around the city generally, and were
hearty in their praise of its appear
ance and evident prosperity.
AT 5 p. m. the train started back for
Topeka, and thus ended one of the
most pleasant impromptu excursions
that Emporia has been favored with.
The legislature cannot do a better
thing at any time when it gets chance
for holiday, than to take a run down
to Emporia, and we hope it will do so
again after the new Normal School
buildings shall have been erected and
are in use for the noble purposes they
will so effectually serve. The follow
ing is list of the members of the leg
islature and friends who took part in
