For the past two weeks we have been max
ing dilligent inquiry as to the condition Of the
corn crop in Sedgwi lex and adjoining counties.
From letters, exchanges and talks with men
from various sections we have come TO the
conclusion that the counties of Sedgwick.
Sumner, Butler. Cowley, Howard and Harvey
will all have considerable corn, enough for The
horses and hogs. and enough for corn meal
and seed. We figure it that about one-lalf OF
the fields are total failure, another fourth
will turn off quarter of a crop, while one
crop in every four will yield from half to
three-fourths OF crop, making an average of
from fourth TO third OF a crop. Much fod-
der has been saved, "A larger amount than
many are aware Of, while there has never
been such quantities OF hay put up any sea-
son before. There are townships in this
county that will have over one thousand tons
each Of good merchandise hay. From our
mill men and others who have been over the
ground we arc satisfied that the counties
above named Will have something over two
hundred thousand bushels of wheat for sale, |
large proportion Of which will End its way
10 this market As the cloud that was east
over us by the grasshoppers begins to lift /!
there is q great deal of cheering light break I
ing through. True, there are those, and their |
numbers are not neonsiderable, that will /
need aid. but they are people who have been |
in the county only 4 short time and who /
brought nothing with them. To these help |
ing hand must be extended. Not only a
helping hand. but cheering or sympathetic |
words as the case may be. The legislature in |
relief will 20 as far as in their !
wisdom in urgent necessity will warrant.
But it seems 10 us that the best and most |
practical relief is that that comes from gencr-
Gus hearts and neighborly hands. If there is
as much food and grain in the country as we
estimate above, no family should suffer, no
little ones cry for bread. They must rot
the man or woman and blasted be all
their crops for years to come who would re-
fuse to divide with hungry children. As to
clothing, we expect and know that the lesis-
laturc and county commissioners can relieve
all wants in that dir eciior

LETTER FROM VINEGAR BITTERs-~AN
ExPLANATIoN AS TO THE "REPUB-
LIcAN''-A BEAUTIFUL COAT F0R
LoNGsTREEr- RAILaoAD AND 9TH
Err DEAD-HEADs-THEF FREE SCHOOL
NASHVILLE, March %, 1874.
To the Editor Of the SEorristown Gasstte:
1 have just been reading Your GA.
zEFTE Of date March 18th, and must
say / like its general tone very
much. but there appears an article
i'm the paper OF above date signed
lt'Blount' that is not giving all par.
ties q fair showing. Blount seems
to net like the change of garb 10 the
lMoTNrflte RepWbliccan. Well, DOW
the fact -. the Republican has done
just as BIount or any other decent
man would have done, under the cir.
curnstances. 1t is true, this is rath-
er retrograde movement Of the Re.
publican, but wages Is whatywe are
al after now. and if the Republicans
can realize better wages, by assum-
ing that dirty. old, thread-baFe gaFb.
which he laid aside q few years
since, when he went to dealing in
The pure, unadulteFated, conservat-
ism, we say bully boy, That's right.
Nov if BlouRt was employed to go
into a filthy horse-lOt, and help doc.
tor up a drove OF half dead epizooty
horses. it is very reasonable to sup
pose that he would lay aside that
fine shirt. cloth coat, ETC., and attire
himself in that old worn suit. thrown
aside years since, and which he had
no idea of ever wearing again?
This is precisely the case with the
Republican, and BIeunt should not
expect 1t to to wear that pleasant
countenance that it carried while in
q more pleasant business. Why.
even our President will go into the
ga!vanizing business, occasionally,
provided he is paid for it. See what
a beautiful coat he has put upon
| Longstrcet. and others.
Blount is down on Railroad dead
heads also. Well now, the fact is.
the most of us are dcad-heading it
through the world at present. If ]
understand the thing, all persons are
dead-heads, who sponge in some
certain way. and get something for
nothing. We have saloon dead
heads, who get their drinks for moth.
ing. Newspaper dead-heads who
get their paper for nothing. Legis-
latiev dead-heads, Congressional
dead-heads. and last of all though
not least, President who is dead
heading his passage in that fine pal
ace car ''corruptiOn,' lined with Gov.
ernment bonds ami covered with ve-
neering of CreM-Mobiiier.
We have, also, many who arc try.
ing to dead-head their way to Heav.
en-. and from the success made in
this world. We have no reason to
doubt their success.
AS to BlOunt's remarks on the
vote for school tax in this county,
have but little to say, AS there las
already been too much said on this
subject, though. notwithstanding the
''illiteracy of a majority of the vo.
tcrs," rs Blount terms it, yet they
seem to understand that they arc al.
ready overburdened with taxation,
and that the Public Schools of this
county have been failure rs far as
heard from. VINEGAR BITTERs.
