COMING TSD KANSAS

While it is by no means pleasant to reflect
upon the rate at which foreign capitalists are
draining us of our gold, We have at least the
satisfaction Of knowing that We are draining
Europeo of wealth vastly greater than mere
specie. The Pittsburg Commercial observes
that We are importing the young, the indus
trious and the muscular element of foreign
population, while the aged, the diseased and
the helpless are generally left behind. A
party OF one hundred picked English farm
ers, sober, industrious, and possessed of con-
siderable capital, have inst started for Kan
sas, with definite and sensible plans of Or
ganization and future operations. When a
beginning has been made and the land is un-
der cultivation, houses erected, ETC., five
hundred families vii, follow, and these sew
eral thousand Englishmen, women and child
rem, with the energy, industry and respecta-
bility which constitute the most hopeful part
of their capital, will within brief period
expand into city, which will be credit to
them and great gain to US. The statistics
Of our immigration shows that, after all, the
balance on ourside of the account is beyond
all calculation or estimate; and this, certain
", is cause for hopeful encouragement.

WuFIELD, April 16ib, 1873.

wnFrE1D, April lob, 1873.
The election for voting boods to The K. 4

ried BY about four hundred majority. VI
are expecting sinilar psopcsiiioa from The
East soon, and will vote that alo. Too

The weather here i curse-inspirins. For
four days the diabolical northwest wind,
bringing misss and sleets. has vhissled
havoc, and let alp the dog Of air.
The Supreme Court has 1t last decided
the ''toWn-siie case" The court sustaina
the demurrer Of the Town Company, revess.
ing the decision Of the li.trict Court. Judge
CAmbell, on the ground that the action Va
commenced in the name Of several parties,
without showing their petition any unity Of
interest.
The court further decides that .
town company may be IN occu-
pant ofa tovn-site, the same q IN individual,
may be, bot that town company may not
occupy . tovnsits for the purposes Of specu-
latien; and that the 18th section Of the town
site laws Of Kansas, Gen. s.. 1915, giving
town companies or corporations, greater
rights than IN individual occupant could
hold is imperative and void.
Under this decision I infer that q town
site entered under the laws of Congress and
the State, BY the chief officer Of the town, il
incorporated, or II not incorporated, BY the
Probate Judge in trusts for the occupants,
belongs to the bona fde occupants, 1t the
date Of entry, Of which the town company,
If it had an improved lot, occupying it,
might b one. This may not be profitable
or pleasant for town companies. but there ID
no doubt that it Is good law.
At the recent term of our District Court,
our Judge. Campbell. gave two decisions
which may be of importance to the profess
ion. One was where . dealer had taken .
promissory note for material, which was put
into building-the note mot specifying for
what it was given. The psyee assigned the
note. The assignee fled . lien upon
the building and he brought
suit upon it. The suit was contested before
Judge W. P. Campbell, who held the lien
valid, and ordered the sale.
The other case was an appeal from the de-
cision of Justice of the Peace. Judge
Cimpbell instructed the jury that, in their
verdict, they should asses City cents for each
juror, to be paid BY the succesful party.
This fifty cents to be deducted out of each
jurors pay, and taxed as costs to be collected
of the unsuccessful party.
You will understand, Mr.. Editor, il you
please, that Cowley county il not only the
best county in the State. but is ahead of the
world in novelty and progress.
The Teachers's Institute for this Judicial
District il, nov in session here, and although
the weather is Indictment, it is grand sue
cess.
We all feel down here that The last drop of
blood Of the last Modoc should be required
in avenging the assassination Of Gen. Candy.

WESTERN VIEWS OF TnE lxDlAss

WESGERN VIEWS OF EHk ANDtAWU.
The Cimarrsn New Mexico) Ners discuss
g the Indian question, and gives some Prac-
teal views which a-e particularly in keep
ing with the late massacre Of the Peace Com
missioners. All attempts, SAYS the Cimar-
ron Ners, to establish local government upon
IN Indian basis must be futile. and will in
all cases end in mere farce. Gas q mental
amusement" it ia we'll enough for Eastern
people, living amid the comforts and luxur-
lea of elegant homes. and surrounded BY the
order and convenience Of great cities, to the
orize upon the rights Of the aboriginal iohab-
itant., and the obligations which rest upon
the government towards them. Ent, OBJ
serves the editor, speiking from the
book ia little actual experience, a
few weeks contact with and observation OF
the "genuine article" of red men, would
quickly di-pel the fantastic and wholly i'm
aginative notions entertained BY mary of our
Eastern friends regarding the condition,
rights and wrongs of the red men," 4 West
ern view Of what the Indian really is 10 the
people of New Mexico il described a. fol-
lows:
They have no appreciation Of kindness or
leniency. They are always ready to attr:-
butte the favors which they receive from the
government to fear, and they act accordingly.
We have seen q number of distributions of
presents and supplies to the Indians, and
have yet to rec the first indication of a senti.
ment of thankfulness therefor. The highest
accomplishments and most priced virtues Of
an Indian ia to steal, beg, and kill when it
can be done without danger to himself.
During the winter when the grass is short,
and in many places unfit to support stock,
and wheE cold and storms are Liable to over
take them, the Indians will generally be
found dociIe and friendly enough, drawing
their supplies from the government with
great regularity and promp;ness. and steal
ing only enough to keep them in practice in
that high and noble art.
But With the approach of spring the neces-
sity of drawing Government rations becomes
les urgent, and they begin their usual amuse-
ment Of raiding about the country, stealing
when they can, and killing when they dare.
This i the history Of the Western indians,
in all parts Of the country where they are
sill in sufficient numbers to feel independ-
ent, and it u repeated, year after year.
Taking these views and under the circum-
stances which they suggest, the Cimarron
Nens declares that It is highly proper for
the people Of New Mexico to take exception
to . policy toward these savagee, which
yields to them exclusive control over come
