ACoUIrrED.-We are glad 10 re-
cord tho fact thht the celebrated
preacher Of the Fourth Street Pres

has just been tried fer hercsy, was
adjudged by tho court, mot gull

Swings sake, for such trial could
not injure him, but for the sake of
The church with which he is afiiliat-
I'D, and for christianity generally.

FREE BANKING.

We have heretofore had some
thing 10 say on this subject, and
the following article, from the Chi
cago Advance, ia exactly 20 the
point.
That a free banking law Is entire
~ practicable, we have no d"ubI,
and we are equally clear that con-
gress should enact one at this ses-
sion. There should be no more
monopoly connected with National
banking than with selling grocer
les, saving lumber, or raising corn.
When legislation lie necessary to
shield community from fraud, law
makers are simply Esurpers when
they lift any kind of business out
OF the domain where the laws of
supply and demand are supreme.
Any man, or set of men, who can
purchase the government bonds
and comply with the necessary con-
dition should be as free to go into
the banking business and issue ma
tional bank notes, as to go into any
| other kind of business. As long as
the business proves profitable, men
will continue In It. When it ceases
to be profitable, capital will go into
farming, manufacturing or some
other business. Congress should
therefore give us a Free Banking
law, not only because II Is funds.
mentally right and Just in itself
but because justice in this case will
alone prevent sectional striie-aI
irrepressibIe confict-betWeen the
credit region of this country, the
East, and the debtor region, thu
South and West. Free Banking
will not change the fact that tbs
creditor region has the most sur
plus capital with which to establisl
national banks, but it will satisfy
the debtor region, inasmuch as
guarantees to IL the privilege-nov
denied it--of issuing national banl
notes Whenever it can most profit
ably rse surplus capital in this way
In other words, II leaves this. liz,
other kinda of business, subject on
Iy to natural laws. Since the faitI
of the nation Is justly pledges
against population and TO the re
sumption of specie payments, 1t
fundamental that specie should be
come, under such law, an increas
|, ing part of national bank reserves
but the date of return to a speci
basis can not be arbitrarily fixed
After establishing tendency i
: that direction so easy and gradus
} as least to affect values and bust
: ness, the rest must be left to the op
, Grafton of natural laws.

at Emporis, They will call q con.
yention for the nomination of 3
candinate for Congress from this
the third district. We do not
know how many are in the field.
We do not know but the powers

hope that Col. p. B. Plumb, of EN-

DEAR News Again, through
the kindness of the Giver OF all
good and perfect gifts, VIC write
you.
All nature is prosperous and
growing, But this is not new for
Kansas at this season of the year.
We never saw fall wheat look go
fine anywhere. Spring wheat is
after the fall lovely and from ap-
pearance viii not come ont far be-
hind.
From indications peaches will be
plenty wherever trees are old
enough to bear.
Mr. VanDern Mr.. Barns and Mr..
Crissup have taken some pains to
have fruit, and from the prospect
will receive an amply reward soon.
The corn is making very nice
start having so far had jlst enough
rain. Every team that can run is
now on the sod breaking. We
hope to be able to report double this
fall to that of last. In regard to
breaking let me say word here,
The Dwelle brothers commenced
breaking a 40 acre lot the first of
last May and finished about the
first of Aug. By measure they
broke it / inches deep. Some
thought they broke too deep and
commenced too early. Before SOW
ing IL was all stirred. That broke
first stirred the best. No difference
now can be seen IN the wheat (fall.)
1t ia now taller and of q darker col
or than other on each side sown
three weeks earlier on land
broken a year earlier. We note
this TO correct two errors as we
think. First, breakwhen you can,
and break deep. We would like to
see half of Chase county turned up
side down before the end of Octo-
Der next.
just think of it, corn and wheat
now q good price and land that
will produce equal to any in the
Union, and much better than q great
deal, and still greenbacks scarce.
Brother farmers, let US make an ex-
ira effort this year to draw from the
Sod bank. No security, principle
interest required. Occasionly we
hear some talk of q timber law late
ly passed by Congress. Has any
such law passed and if go what are
it's provisions?
By far too many cattle died the
early part of spring for country
haying the soil and climate we
have. Cattle came through the
winter well, but all ought to know
that old dead prairie grass is very
poor feed for stock that have to
stand the March winds.
saw poor fellow in terrible
way in March. The fire had just
swept off the old dry grass that his
fifty cattle and colts had been pull
ing at for the last month. Now,
says he, II will have TO buy corn
aud hay. My range is gone" If
he had been any other than an "old
settler" and had no land we would
have pitied him. AS it was we
pitied his stock, but not him. /
have not seen him or his stock
since, but have no doubt he well
knows the price of murrain hides.
Last week / was at the Giddiugs
