News From Kansas.
| VERM11L1oN, MARSHALL Co.,
! KANSAS, June IA, 1874.
Dear Editors Of the Grange Aduance:
AS am one of the new settlers of
Kansas from Minnesota, I wish to tell
the people Of my old county and State
Of my favorable impressions Of my new
home.
The crops Of growing corn and wheat
are most beautiful, and to look over the
prairies and view the beautiful herds Of
cattle, is very pleasing. People Of
Minnesota may say as much as they
please to the discredit of Kansas, it
only shows that they have never seen
any country except Minnesota. 1 have
been in great many countries and
have never seen one to equal this. lido
not write this to humbug anybody
but come and see for yourselves. You
will never return to Minnesota to en-
dure the long winters, the storms and
cold. AS to the healthfulness, I have
been here little over week and have
gained two pounds; that is more than 1
ever gained in that country in two
years, and better health I would not
ask.
can not tell all the beauties of this
country, I have not been here long
enough.
With kind regards to all old friends
in Minnesota. III. D.
| Wait six months until our friend has
been frozen with ague chills in the heat
Of summer, and burned with fevers in
| the midst Of winter; until he has pass
ed through one cold, rainy, damp, fogy,
and malarious season, embracing the fall,
winter and spring, and we shall expect
to hear a report similar to that given by
others who have left Minnesota for this
wonderful land of promise. Ed
! EMERSON, MANITOBA, June 18th, 1874.
The American Colony is fairly plant
ed at this point The managers with
their families, together with consider
able number Of the members, (many of
whom are from Red Wing and vicinity
are on the ground, some in houses,
some in tents. A levee has been made,
streets staked out, hotel and other
: buildings put up, wells dug, and teams
are now breaking up the prairie. Mr..
w. P. Hutchinson runs the hotel,
which is crowded with per-
sons landed from the steam
boats. All who have taken land in the
colony reserve appear to be we'll pleased
with their claims. All who have farmed
in this country agree that for wheat it
cannot be surpassed, nor for vegetables.
but for corn it is not recommended.
The emigration to this country from
Canada is very large; many Canadians
are taking claims in the colony reserve.
Mr.. Olin Wiltse Of your city is here.
On his return, I do not think, from
conversation with him, that his report
! of the country will be unfavorable.
There is a Government Land Office

now entitled to homestead 160 acres.

to accomplish the desired effect. MIR. John
E. Robertson, who several days ago declared
himself au Independent Republican candi-
date for the Senate, being confined in Jail
awaiting indictment by the grand jury Tor
shooting MIR. Conrad Wagner. failed to re-
ceve that large and enthusiastic support he
counted upon.
The Conservatives nearly all voted in favor
OF the amendments to the Constitution. The
Republicans with as great unanimity vet d
the other way. The ma jority for the amend
mentS in Richmond will closely approximate
Governor Walkers majority over Mr.. Bur.
CESS.
The returns from the precincts Of the city
were received both at the headquarters of
the City Conservative Committee, on Ninth
street. and at the headquarters of the Dis.
trict Committee. on Eleventh street. When
the result was made known at the former
place. and it was ascertalned that Walkers
majority over Burgess was I,S4S, Governor
Walker was sent for to address the crowd
there gathered. He promptly appeared, and
was introduced by General Peyton Wise,
chief of the kcmpcr kampaign Klub. The
Governor commenced speaking in the COM
mittee-room, but there were so many who
could not hear him he was forced to
90 out in the street, where, mounted
upon chair, he eloquently returned
thanks TO an enthusiastic assemblage Of
Conservatives. He regarded the triumph
As due not to his personal merits, but to the
great cause he represented and the wish of
the voters OF this district to have in Con-
greSs q representative in sympathy with
them in feelings and interest. He spoke
hopefully Of the prospects for a Democratic
majority in Congress, and declared that for
the support given him in this contest he
should ever be profoundly grateful, and
while time lasted and breath was spared
him he would never forget it.
Colonel w. w. Berry, in response to calls,
| also made some brief congratulalory re-

is a source Of immense qualification to his

| SERIOUS RIOT SEVERAL KILLED AND MANY
WOUNDED.
EUFAULA, Ala, November 3.-Thc cleo.
ton here progressed peacefully until u M.,
when the negroes attempted to rescue pri.
soner from the custody OF the deputy sheriff.
A general riot occurred, and several whites
and blacks were wounded and some killed.
| Marshal Willford was with one of our pro-
minent citizens just before the riot began,
and sent him to prevent it. The negroes
ran over him, and fired the first shot. Quiet
is now restored, and voting progressing.
Later.-The following is list of the
wounded and killed in to-day's riot: Will
liam Keith, dangerously T. F. Nance, Sc
riously; Major Shorter, Silas Jones, John
Hudliston, Sandy Engram, and Thomas Sto-
vail, not seriously. About five negroes were
killed, and probably fifteen wounded. No
whites were killed. Many negroes are vo.
ting with US.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
EUFALA, ALABAMA, November 3.--The
| disturbance was quite sanguinary. Six
| whites were wounded--oDe Of them,
William Keith, mortally. Three negroes
| were killed outright, and as far as heard from
seyenty-four were wounded-ten or fifteen
of the number mortally. Since the fight five
have died, and three or four more will die
during the night. The difficulty grew out
| of the abuse of negro who had voted the
| Democratic ticket by several Radical negroes,
chief among whom was one very bad negro,
Milas Long. Several gentlemen. rushed up
when they Saw the abuse being heaped
| upon the Democratic negro, and when he
had received several blows they rushed in
and ordered the mob to desist. Mias Long
offered to draw pistol on one of the whites
| when he was told not to draw weapon
there, as he would be killed. With an oath
against the whites, and daring them to come
on, he drew out his pistol and fired. In an
instant general fire from both whites and
blacks commenced, which the latter stood
| for a second or two, and then gave way in
one of the widest stampedes ever witnessed
| on our streets.
There were probably five hundred shots
fired by both sides, majority OF them being
| fired by the whites. the negroes came in
from the country armed with pistols, heavy
clubs, wheel. spokes, etc. They were very
aggressive upon those of their color who
voted the Democratic ticket. For few Sc.
conds after the firing ceased the negroes be-
gan to mass for q renewal OF the fight, but
seeing that the whites we're arming to re-
ceive them they again scattered, and quiet
was soon restored.
