Henry p. Ninde, formerly of Oska-

sas, called on us to-day. He says that
region Of Kansas has been Utterly de-
vastatcd by the grasshoppers, so that
there will not be perhaps 200 bushels
of corn in the county. Rice county
has $500 inhabitants, and last year
they shipped away 1900 bushels of
corn. This season, if they had had a
good crop, they would have trebled that
amount, but the grasshoppers have cut
them of so that they havn't even corn
for bread. They saved very little
wheat and rye, and unless they have
help they will actually DO in starving
condition. They don't want to beg,
they scant scork, and appeal to the far.
mers of Iowa, who are prosperous, to
aid them in this way. Mr.. Ninde will
remain at Oskaloosa some two or
three weeks, and all persons who can
help these sufferers, by giving them
work during the fall and winter, can
address him there, and he will furnish
them hands that will be diligent and
earn their wages. Will not our farm
crs think Of this, and aid these suffer.

The nomination of Aver, the patent med
icine man, in the seventh district, was also
disgusting to all high caste republicans and
his defeat was a proper rebuke to his parti-
zans. Alexander, in the eleventh district was
also an unpopular candidate, there being sus-
picion OF foul play regarding his nomina-
ton, and the independent voters scratched
him out of existence. Williams, in the
eighth district, was a Credit Mobilier man
and took back pay besides. He
was consequently smitten hip and thigh.
Gooch, in the fifth district, was simply
showed under by the personal popularity of
General Banks. The result is that, instead
of eleven republican congressman, there are
now only five, with a probability of asixth.
