GREELEY AND BROWN.

Horace Greeley, of New York, was
nominated for President, and Il. Gratz
Brown. of Missouri. for Vice President,
by the Libcrrl Republican Convention
at Cincinnati, after several days of eX-
traordinary manipulation, as most of
the readers of the EAGLE are aware by
this time.
Probably no political convention
ever held attracted the attention more
attentively than this one. The real
merits of the call, the incentives that
q brought about this convocation of pol
iticians are multifarious, but sinking
democracy. disappointed political am
bition and an inordinate desire for Of
flee spoils were probably the three prin-
cipal elements or agencies in bringin"
together and assimilating this unique
political asscmblage.
The platform or declaration of prin-
ciplcs are in the main unobjcctionablc.
il may be, but Il contains no live issue
not already held to by the Republican
party. Yet as a whole the platform is
weak because based upon the PROPOSE
tion or assumption that both wings of
the old Democratic party would swal-
low il. as also the nominees. Bat will

country AT large that the nominees

Providinfi the Democracy endorse. we
don't think the ticket could have been
bettcred. Greedy can proselcyte as ma
ny of our party rs could any man who
has been identified with the old party
of freedom and victery. while Brown
is really the father of the Liberal idea.
Outside of party considerations and
the platform Greeley's well known tar
ifi' principles will hc very acceptable
to the old keystone state, while he
has successfully worried himself into
the affections of the people of the South

nesty plank, but not as a Liberal.
Should the Democracy fail TO make
nominations Brown will carry Missou-
ri. hut can Greeley carry his own state?
TO many Liberals, Sorchcads. and
Democrats these nominations are
bitter pill--an inglorious result. and en-
thusiasm is out of the question with
them. In this portion Of Kansas. es-
pecialiy here in Wichita. the news of
old Whity's success was received with
broad, good-naturcd grin. generally
accompanied with remark .'of what
we know about farming" No hats
went into the air, no speeches were
made, no ratification meetings held
So with country at large. IL came like
shock from battery, TO be grinned
at and borne. The ticket stands only
rs an experiment with no solid support
from anywhere as yet, especially from
that party that can only give it any
show of success.

newest and prettiest paper in the west,

model of tidiness and good taste-un-
exceptionable. Its we Is sparkle
with local doings and savings, and it

are averse to encroach upon the set

THE NEW WICHITA PAPER.-Thc
Wichita Eagle has lit twice in the
Office of the Spirit. and after due ex-
animation we pronounce ii "a tirst-class
bird in every respect. 1t does not
show its talons to any dangerous eX-
tent as yet. but this. nc doubt, is ow-
ing mainly to the fact that its crop is
well-filled with good things. Perhaps
when its appetite increases, and food
becomes scarce, its claws will appear
more prominently. We congratulate
the bird on its fine appearance, and
would ask its trainer Murdoch, wheth-
er it is of the golden species or one of
the other kind If it is as carefully
handled after age has crept on aoace a
it has been in its early youth, W. guar
antcc that it will at least breed many
golden eagle for its master. They
have golden eagles down on the cattle
trail.-Id0ld Spirit.

CLEAR WATER, May /, 1872.
Cor. MURDOCH: l have lately no.

! statement that the Usage and other
! Indians were on the ''war path in

dcpredations. etc. This statement, as
can be testified to by buffalo hunters
and travellers, as well as by the resi-
dents of the southern counties. is so
utterly without foundation as to de-
serve denial Southern Kansas has
descrvedly the name of having upon an
average the best body of land in any
/ portion of the state. say from the head
of the White Water to Bluff creek, and
this manner of trying to stop or turn
emigration is played out"
CLAIM HUNTERS.
Let me say. for the benefit of those
seeking homes, that they had better
not delay too long, unless they intend
to buy land in this section of country.
Six months since a person would have
found it difficult to see house stand
ing where | now stand: to-day it
would be equally difficult for him to
get claim in sight of the place.
FARMING.
Our farmers are making rapid strides
in the improvement of their homes.
Usage hedge fences. fruit and other
trees planted from the seed and trans
planted are making different looking
country of this. Early seeds have long
since been planted, and very little
complaint has come to my ears in re-
gard to our late frost. Every one since
our late rain feels hopeful. especially
those who remained here during the
winter under difficulties, they now
feeling satisfied they have gained some
thing as a recompense for the trough
ing" they have gone through. New
houses are being built in every direc-
ton, of far better description than
those heretofore built. many of which
were mere holes in the ground. and
this | imagine has been one great
cause of the numerous cases of ague
the past year. Trees rcplanted will
not only give fuel TO those who have
them. but will also be great protec-
ton to the houses from the fierce
winds prevalent here and ali through
Kansas. besides being ornamental. a

Lake Erie Drying Up.

1t is predicted that Lake Erie
will in time dry up and become the
home of teeming population
Careful surveys have shown that
while Lake Michigan has an aver
age depth of 1,S00 feet, Lake Supe-
perior of 900 feet, and Lake Onta-
rio Of 800 feet, Lake Erie has an
average depth of 100 feet, which is
said to be constantly decreasing.
The bottom of the lake is quite
level and composed of soft clay.
This clay is constantly accumula-
ting from sediment carried down by
tributary streams. The south shore
is composed of easily disintegra-
ting blue, gray and olive shoals and
gray sandstone. The western and
northern coasts are made up Of
limestone of the Helderbcrg group,
which quickly yields to the action
of the waves. Consequently both
shores are constantly contributing
to fiji up the bed OF the lake. The
work is not rapid, but it is said to
be as certain as fate.
