Sound Upon our interests.

On Saturday last our city received
visit from Senator ingalls,, Mr.. Muir
dock, of the Wichita EAGLE, and Mr..
Cook. of Wyandotte. The Senator
and Mr.. Murdoch came in by way of
Arkansas City, and Mr.. Cook came in
the other way. In the evening the
Senator and Editor, in company with
Messrs. Manning, Wilkinson and KEEL
ley, took 4 drive aroung the city and
expressed themselves well pleased and
predict good things for our future. In
the course of the evening our band
turned out and after having some mu-
sic the Senator was called on for
speech, and responded in manner
which will give great satisfaction to
our people. And certainly the posi-
ton he takes in reference to our situa-
ton and the promise he gives meets
our hearty appreciation. lie declares
that we have claim, and just claim on
the government, to right of way to the
sea. and that whatever he can do to
advance that object, personally and of
ficially, he will do. lie saws that law
should be extended over the Territory
so that there should be as little danger

ing north. And we sincerely hope that
seeing these two points, which are the
outworks to be first carried, he will
before another winter passes away,
carry something in this line. The
Senator also said that home manufac-
ture should be our motto in the country
and that he had seen no finer portion
of Kansas than this. Mr.. Murdoch
excused himself from making a speech
Mr.. Cook stated that he happened
among US by accident, but was glad to
be with us, and contrasted the devas-
tated country, from which he had
come. with ours in such way as will
surely make some people better con-
tented with Cowley county. Alto
gether the meeting was avery pleasant
one, and the gentlemen carry away
pleasant impression in respect TO our
county and town.

Wichita,

John Campbell paid us visit last
week and here is what he picked up:
The Wichita police have slaughtered
fifty dogs.
The Arkansas Valley is yellow with
ripcning grain.
They are putting the finish on four
brick buildings on Main street.
Mr.. Beauchampe Clarque, a talented
lawyer who speaks five languages. is
creating Iluttcr in fashionable cir
cles.
The handsome editors of the EAGLE
sit on the street in shady nook and
write locals. using the solcs of their
boots for desks.
Steele, the fat politician, hasn't OPP
Grated convention for over a wear.
He holds the destinies of the Arkansas
Valley political aspirants in the hollow
of his hand.
The sound of the hurdy-gurdy
smites the air half Il block from the
business part of Main street which
tells the tiger hunter that beer gar
den is in full blast there.
There is to be another paper here.
An enthusiastic democrat among the
recent eXcusionists, will unlimber his
guns in the Arkansas Valley in a few
weeks.
We called on two Of the banks, the
Wichita Savings Bank and First Ma
tional. The officers seem cheerful. but
they miss the cank of the Texas spur
to considerable extent.
The county commissioners who were
in Jail for contempt, didn't seem to be
in Jail to any great extent. We OBJ
served the shining face of friend Hobbs
lodging around amongst his groceries
The Beacon is reported to have fallen
into the hands of Fisher and Smith,
two smart young men who have been
sticking type in the Office for some
months. We hope they will make

Grange Meetings. Etc.

EAGLE TOWNSHIP, July Z, 1875.
Mr.. EDiToR: wonld like to say a
few words in regard to the manner of
calling grange meetings. As 4 general
thing meeting is called to take place
the same week the paper is issued.
This is all wrong, if they expect the
people from the outside townships to
attend lhese meetings. We seldom if
ever get our paper from the Office be-
fore Sa friday. which makes it rather
a diflicult task to attend meeting held
IN Wichita, some fifteen or eighteen
miles distant, the same week
The Patrons are very careless in this
respect. Our officers Of the County
Grange ought to know better. The
call for q meeting ought to be published
in two weeks issue of the paper at
least, TO insure good attendance from
the more remote oranges. The secre-
tary of Advance Grange received a
circular from the District Agency a
few days ago, dated May 2Sth, but not
mailed till June 18th. OF course il
came too late for our meeting, not
withstanding we hold two month.
Now, if tins is the way our officers are
going to do business, we shall never
succeed, and better disbaud at once.
They, Uhe County Agency and Coun-
ty Grange,) will never have the full CO.
operation of the subordinate oranges
if they DO business in that careless
manner. Give us due notice, and We
viii give you hearty support. The
Patrons stand ready and anxious TO do
all they can for the good of the Order,
but we cannot attend meeting to
be held in Wichita, Saturday, at ten
O'Clock, and not get notice of said
till eleven.

Texas and Mexico

Dispatches received by Gen. Sheri-
dan at Chicago last Friday, from
Brownsville, Texas, indicate critical
state of affairs at Matamoras, and q
conflict between citizens and the Mex
lean soldiers is imminent. All the
business hoHses are closed, and armed
citizens were gathering, threatening
TO take COrtina from the soldiers whom
the Vice Consul thinks, are not strong
enough 10 prevent the rescue. 1t does
seem that the whole question of these
raids and murders by the baif-civilized
Mexican hordes should be stopped
without general war with Mexico,
yet such war would prove but small
affair compared 90 the continual rnes-
siness Of the people along the Texas
border.
IN order has been published that
Coriina win be shot in case al attempt
is made to rescue him. Judge Castil-
10, and wife Of Corlina and fourteen
others are prisoners. i general order
las just been Issued prohibiting the
assembling OF the people in groups,
and forb;ds hostile demonstration
Al public places are closed outside of
Matamoras. The people are reported
arming, and arms arc being struggled
into a ganboat which is reported COM
ing TO the mouth of the Rio Grande to
carry Cartina 70 Vera Cruz.
