One Samuel Teats was arrested here on Sat-
urday, by Marshal Mike Meagher. upon tel
egram from the sheriff of Allegheny, Penn.
Teats is charged with seduction, under a
promise of marriage, which Is a crime under
the laws Of Pennsylvania punishable by i'm
prisonment in the penltentiary. We under
stand that Meagher had previously received
descriptive letter from the authorities i'm Allie
ghany, which enclosed photograph, so there
remains little room for mistakes. The reward
taken before Squire Van Trees and in default
of proper bail was committed to prison until
such time as the Pennsylvania authorities can
be heard from.

The banking business Of Wichita is becom-
ing one of the prominent features of the place.
The amount of capital now employed in that
business here is not less than sl5o.O0o in stock,
to say nothing of deposits and exchange on
hand by the banks. or the money controliedby
individuals for the purpose Of loans. With
the organization Of the new bank last week
Wichita now boasts three a. solid banking in
situations As can be found in any town in the
the VALLEYS that of w. c. Woodman 4 Son,
the First Arkansas Valley Bank" These
gentlemen. as is well known. have, from the
start, run a large and paying yet safe and re-
liable establishment. Their loans secured by
real estate reach now many thousands of dol
lars while in their exchange business we have
vet to hear of the first complaint. The First
National Bank of Wichita has an authorized
capital Of S2J0.Oc0. of which $4,000 was paid
up on the start. Thi. institution enjoys the
confidence OF our people, also being controlled
and managed by men of experience. The
sworn statements made of the condition Of the
bank, i'm pursuance of congressional law,
have surprised old bankers in other portions
OF the state. The new bank organized last
week starts out under the most favorable aus
pices, at the head of which stands A. NJ. Clark,
of Leavenworth. one Of the oldest bankers and
most successful financiers of the state. and Sol
ii. kohn. one Of Wichita's most substantial
and thorough men. The cashier, A. A. Hyde,
is also gentleman Of large experience i'm the
hnSiness The nf bo ssNVinhifa Sa,.
Bank is principally held by our own men,
including such names as English, Hope, Hob
son. Greiffenstein and others. OF its ultimate
success there is not the least doubt. The en-
ployment of 50 large an amount of capital in
the banking business of Wichita portrays the
sOlidity, prosperity and the confidence Of our
business men in the place in a stronger
light than could any language. Money centres
are always found at business centres, and rice
yersa Business makes money, yet it is equally
true that money makes business. And we
think there need be no apprehension touching
the success Of all three, or even of an addi-
tional number Of such institutions. No cOun-
try ever filed up so rapidly as has the Arkan-
sas valley, and nne-tenths of them come to
stay. Large amounts Of money must be used
in the development of this valley outside of
that employed in business. With plenty of
money accessible at reasonable rates the Ar
kansas valley will in a very short time blossom
and bloom with rich harvests, Unreasonable
in extent, while in the absence of plenty of
money it will demand years of toll and pains
taking. Besides, the more money invested,
ested here, the more sure will be the onward
march Of the town, the less liable and severe
the ''set back so much dreaded by new places.
In a word. place cannot have too many sub
stantial men Interested i'm its growth.

THE ELECTION.
Vote Being PoIIed.

The election to-day is progressing
quietly, notwithstanding the fact that a
larger vote is being polled than ever be-
fore, perhaps The voting places we're
all thronged with sufragists early this
morning, and the crowd around the
ballot-box has continued large since the
voting commenced In the Seventh
ward the darkies endeayored to take
forcible possession Of the polls, but they
were driven back by the officers and
made to approach the ballot-box in reg
ular order, the same as the white suffra-
gist. In the Fourth ward General For
rest gave ballot to an old servant,
negro man whom he had raised, and told
him if he wanted TO vote it TO do so.
An outside negro challenger told him
he ought not to intimidate voters. He
replied that he was not endeavoring to
lntimidate the man; that he had simply
given him the ballot, and he might vote
it or not as he chose. The negro be-
came very insulting, and finally called
General Forrest id liar, which he
had no sooner done than the General
felled him to the earth with one blow,
sufficient to knock years politics out
OF the insolent fellow. At the other polls
everything seemed to move very quietly,
and we heard Of no disturbance on the
part OF the voters Of any class. The
negroes are voting solid for Grant and
Wilson and Horace Maynard, and with
few exceptions take the straight Repub-
lican ticket. Up to IL o'clock to-day the
vote in the wards was as follows: First,
81; Second, 22O; Third, 327; Fourth,
300; Fifth, 43O; Sixth, 200; Seventh,
300; Eighth, 22O; Ninth, 32l; Tenth,
267. In the First, Second and Third |
wards, from all indications, it appeared |
that Andy johnson was ahead for Con-
gresham from the State at large, and |
for the Legislature P. j. Mulvihill lead.
The rest ofthe minstrel ticket was left bad.
ly in these wards, and, indeed, throughout
the city, except in the negro wards, where
the Radical ticket with Maynard leading
and the Johnsenian candidates for the
Legislature following, seems to be get
ting heavy vote. Andy johnson will
probably carry majority of the wards,
with Cheatham and Maynard following
closely In the county it is more than
probable that there will be but little diff
ference in the vote between the three
,andidates-Maynard's chances being
good, backed as he is with
5000 Radical votes, the vote of
he, county being under 10000.
The combination ticket has been po-
itical failure-not coming up to tho
sreat expectations of the wire-pullers
md ring-masters. We may probably lose
one Representative in the contest, but
7ictory is already assured against the
strange combination between the "ele-
nents y known as the foreign, Radical
White, and colored, The friends of the
Itraight-out Conservative ticket must
work and vote. The enemy is badly de-
Aoralized, and vigorous effort will turn
Generalization into rout. Let every
,riend Of the Conservative ticket cast his
zote against DISCRIMINATION and radical
SIN to-day.

This morning the cheerful garroters
who went through" Mr.. James Speed,
after having treated Mr.. Wesson in the
same manner, were brought to the city
from Vicksburg, where they were ar
rested few days ago, under charge Of
Chief Of Police A. A. Edwards and
officers j. r. Edwards and Thomas Fen
ner. The two men, whose names are
Bill Corby and Jack Weir, were taken
to police headquarters this morning and
requested by Captain Athy to register
their countenances in the rogues' gal
lery. Strange as it may seem Mr.. Speed
recognized in one of the men the same
one who did the choking, an old school
mate, man whom he has known for
sixteen years. Sunday evening this man
went to Mr.. Speed, and telling him he
was hard up, asked him for dollar, for
the love of God" to buy himself a meal
of victuals. Mr. Speed being charit-
able man readily complied with the re.
quest, and soon after started home.
Within twenty minutes after, the man to
whom he had given this money had his
hands on Speeds throat, while his com
panions went through his pockets. If
this does not afford rare instance Of
black ingratitude, we are at loss to
know what would. They will have
preliminary examination before the Re
corder tomorrow morning.

ton take great interest in this work, and |
pronounce it to be superior to anything
manufactured in the United States. At
the St. Louis Fair in 1870 the efficial re-
sort in the Republican was as follows:
I've are glad to find the South repre-
scented at our great Fair by the Southern
Wagon Factory Of James & Roosa, Mem.

off the first premium for the best two
horse wagon. Their wagons are said to
be the finest specimens of workmanship
ever exhibited in this country" This is
true, every word Of It. Messrs. James &
Roosa have made reputation through
out the South as being the manufactu-
rers Of the best wagons in the country.
1t is with pleasure that we discover that
home manufacture has become triumph
