Gratis will gain a Senator in each of
the states of Missouri, Pennsylva-
mia, Tennessee, Texas and West
Virginia They have already gain
ed one in each of the states of Con-
necticut, Virginia and Mississippi.
The Republicans will undoubtedly
gain two Senators, one in Nebraska
and one in II. l., which will still
leave the Senate largely Republican.

TME NEW nAYTI.

Tho Southern States have practi.
cally sunk into anarchy. The con-
ditiOn of things in many parts OF
the country is simply frightful. II
is truly sickening to read tho de-
tails of peculation, financial ruin
battle and murder, which fill the
columns of every newspaper.
The old rebel spirit is still viz
dictiYe and defiant; the negroes are
ignorant, Ihievish. and imperious
an undue influence is welded by q
very base class of Northern and
Southern Adventures. The public
debt of South Carolina and other
states is simply frightful. Taxes
are enormous; real estate is depre-
ciated to q ruinous figure; there is
an incessAnt and most bitter war
fare going on between the hostile
races. The South has fallen almost
to the level OF st. Domingo.
The Southern States have rich
soil, q generally healthful climate,
vast forests and mineral deposits,
and Q great variety of resources.
They only lack q population of in
telligent workers to become the gar
den of the continent.
We hope soon TO sec these desola-
tions healed by a Wholesale emil
grafton from the North and from
Europe. There Is no other remedy.
As the population is now cOnstitut-
ed, the future Is hopeless.

THE INDIAN NATION.

The news from the Indian Ter
ritory is of a most painful charac-
ter. A real reign of terror seems
to exist there. The rival fac
tions are in a state of intense hos
tIlity, and one vendetta follows an
other.
The Greeks, Cherokees, Choc-
taws, ChickasaWs, and Seminoles
numbar in the aggregate, about
10000 souls about equally di-
vided between Indians and ne
groes- Each tribe has a govern
ment, constituted nearly as fol-
lows:-lst, the Executive-tho
Chief, elected for a term of years;
End, the Legislature, consisting of
two bodies, the ''House of Kings"
and blouse Of Warriors" elected
by popular vote; Sd, the Judiciary,
consisting Of local magistrates,
assisted by the "Light Horse" a
sort oftravsling police. The pun
ishments are, Aogging, imprison-
nent, and death by hanging.
The people live mainly by agri-
culture and pasturage. They also
manufacture rude agricultural i'm.
plements and coarse ''linsey."
They live in log houses, clustered
in little hamlets. The country il
fertile, and is well supplied with
, timber, coal, and probably various
, metals. All the tribes have books
printed in their own languages, by
, the American Tract Society. Th'
Cherokees have an alphabet o
= their own = invention; the othei
: tribes use the English alphabet.
! The old Indian blood is rapidly
!, dying ont, and the stronger negr,
u blood is taking its place.
: The moral condition of thes
. people Is bad enough. Chastit,
is hardly known among them, an,
the country is the scene of incess
n ant turmoil and bloodshed. Il
a the Cherokee Nation are the eRos
e Party" and Downing Party !;
n among the Creeks are the '.Sand
i Party" and "Checote Party" whic
u are in continual hostile ARA
J. against each other. The negroe
y are Idle and tipsy, the Indian
fierce and yindictive. 1t is a POI
y tive fact that the conditions {
a the "Musquito Nation" are a
"a most perfectly reproduced in tn
ID heart of this continent.
Is This condition of bloody al
Ii archy ought not to continue an
at longer. If Congress performs il
e. duty, some sort of remedy wi
" be provided this winter.

IsIoaled Corporations.

The events of the past few
months ought to secure revision
of our opinions concerning rail.
road companies. 1t clearly ap.
pears that these obnoxious organ
izations have, if not souls, at least
'bowels of compassion.
The great lines leading from
Kansas toward the east seem to
have united in a truly christian
work. Vast numbers of passen-
gers, escaping from the frontier
for the winter, and supplies sent
to sufferers from all parts of the
east, have been carried free OF
charge. The fields of the border
settlers are sown with wheat loan
ed by the railroad company.
These great corporations have
pursued truly humane, enlight-
ened, and christian policy. Their
present course ought to put to
shame many demagogues who
seem to assert that railroads have
no rights that citizens are bound
to respect.
The fact is that capital, properly
directed, is the best friend of la
Dor. Cooperation, competitor,
encouragement, mutual confidence
these are better than perpetual
war.

ARMAGRDDON.

All experienced observers agree
that another great war is impending
In Europe. It 10 announced that
Prussian agents have come into the
American market to buy $500 tons
OF saltpetre, for the manufacture of
unpoWder. The French army now
includes ], 200, 600 men, armed with
Chassepot needle rifles and with the
most improved artillery. Austria
and Prussia have each nearly as
large an army. The Pope seems to
be making desperate effort to re-
cover his lost power through the
overthrow of the kingdom of Italy,
and q division of territory between
himself and Austria.
We can safely predict pro-
Rramme somewhat as follows: An
invasion of Germany by the French
army, and partial success, but final
defeat; the invasion of Italy by
Austria, with better success; the
English navy thrown into the scale
secures the overthrow OF the two
Catholic powers, Austria anu
France, and the Papacy ceases to
exist. Meanwhile, Russia, secure
from molcstation, devours Turkey
at q single meal, and establishes her
capital at Constantnople. We may
safelv believe that these events will
be begun or consummated before the
close of the year just opened.
America need not be greatly affect

revival OF business, especially man

DILLON FOR PRESIDENT.

1t will be remembered that we.
few weeks ago, expressed our
choice for the Hon. John +. Dill
Ion, of Iowa, as the Republican
candidate for President in 1876.
The immediate cause of the ex.
preston was the statement that
the Cincinnati Commercial, had
an article favoring Washburn, of
Illinois. This article is said TO
have been written in accordance
with an agreement made between
the editors Of the Commercial
and Chicago Tribune, while Wis
ting Mr.. Washburn in Paris,
last season.
We are glad to find that Judge
billions name meets with much ia
vor from the press throughout the
West and South. The press of our
own State received his name ia
yorably.
The Davenport, Iowa, Gazette,
notices our mention of Judge Dill
Ion as follows:
"Judge Dillon came very near
receiving the appointment ofChief
Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court, the decision perhaps
lying for a time between him
and Judge Waite, Of Ohio. He
has a national judicial reputation,
and without in the popular sense
of the word being a politician, is
emphatically a Republican. We
do not merely say that the Repnb-
lican party could not do better
, than to nominate him for the
? Presidency-we believe it would
be the best thing it could do.
The New Orleans Republican
quotes the paragraph above from
the Gazette and adds:
The above shows that the ques,
ton, "Who shall be our next Pres.
. identP is considered in order as
= far West as Kansas, and although
l it is perhaps too early to publicly
canvass the question, we know
that many persons are interrogat
ing themselves in regard to it
without eliciting any satisfactory
reply.
8 Without, at this time, express
h ing any opinion as to the merits o
the gentleman whose name is thu
connected with the high Office o
8 President, we feel inclined to Sal
s that amid the general demoraliza
y ton or criminal Indifference of tn
e Northern States at the last cleo
ton, IO11G stood firm. This is
fact worthy of note, and will doubt
e less be remembered by those mos
interested when the time come
l. for a public expression upon tn
:, Presidential question.
Judge Dillon has never held
. political office. He was first
II judge of a district court for tn
State of Iowa. After a few year
he was elevated to the bench of tn
Supreme Court of that State.
= this latter capacity he develope
= the qualities which pointed hir
l. out for, and secured him his pres
3 ent position.
t. He has honored every positio
" to which he has been called.

FROM CHASE COUNTx.
Cheap building Material and
Plenty of Water.
CrnRR VALLEY Chase "a

CEDER VALLEY, Chase 60.
Jan. B, 1879.
DEAR News. There are some
advantages that this part of Kan
sas has that are not fully appre-
ciated. While we can't brag of
timber, of stone and water we can.
Here are any amount of the very
best soft magneian grey lime
stone, easily to be obtained and
easily dressed, and the wonder is
that it is not more generally used
for building purposes. Every res
idence, barn, school house, store
house, meeting house and many
other buildings can be put up at .
less cost than of any other materi-
al. The rock is SO easily quar-
ried that almost any man with but
a small amount of ingenuity can
very soon quarry enough for a
good house. And when q house
is once up, it will never want out
side painting. The natural color
of the stone can't be improved by
paint when any thing like proper
ly dressed and laid up. There is
about as much reason to send To
Chicago for lumber for the oat-
side of a dwelling as TO send there
for wheat. This, however, many
coming from older timbered states
do not know-till too late. I will
hereafter give the cost of quarry
ing rock and the number of cords
necessary to build an ordi nary
farm house.
While many of the eastern
states, and in fact in many parts
of this state, through the past Sea-
son, have suffered for stock water
this part of Kansas has not. In
deed, Mr.. John Miller has aspiring
that now would run q grist mill
with a fall, too, of IL feet within
20 feet of its head, continually
gushing out of the bluff that puts
one in mind of young Niagara.
This is splendid location for a
factory of almost any kind. But
leaving out the manufacturing
facilities, for stock purposes Cedar
and its tributaries, of which We
viii name Turkey, Bills creek,
Middle creek, Brush creek and
Coon creek, are all supplied with
living springs of water.
All this country has never fail
ed to reward the husbandman' in !
every particular till the last season,
within the last four years at least, |
and the last season was q success
in wheat and grass.
Mr.. Edward Sanble recently re-
turned from Maryland and tells me
that the fall wheat looks better in
his state than any other he pass
ID through.
The ground is now covered by
y inches OF snow. Our fine fall
closed mp with the old
rear and the north winds are Civ
ng us winter in good earnest.
