The history of the dispersion of the
Kansas Legislature by United States
troops, under direction OF President
Buchanan. is a fact that Democratic
orators, who are so vigorous in the de-
annexation of the action of Geneia q
Sheridan in New Orleans, should re-
member. On the Sd of July, 1856, the
Kansas Legislature met at Topeka.
resident Buchanan warned all per-
sons against participating in its pro-
readings. On the following day Col.
Sumner, who was in command Of the
United States troops, rode up in front
of the building in which the Legisla-
ture was in session, and arraying his
two hundred dragons in line, entered
the House of Representatives. and
said:

the most painful duty of my whole
life. Under the authority of the Pres
ident's proclamation avn here to dis
perse this Legislature, and, therefore.

Sedgwick County Agricultural ana
horticultural Association.


EprToR EAGLE: The very excellent
article from the pen of Mr.. A. J. Cook,
which appeared in your last issue, has
suggested to my mind the propriety
of organizing an agricultural and hor-
ticuliurai society, to be composed, say
af Farmers Of Sedgwick county, or Il
thought advisable, 10 take in still
wider area. Such an association
would, there can be no doubt. do
much TO strengthen the hands. nerves,
and scientifically direct the action aud
Iabours of many Of our well meaning
and anxious tillcrs Of the soil. The
society could be managed by honor
able officers aud very small fee per
member would suffice TO pay the out
side expenses. Periodical meetings 81
the whole of the members should be
held, when papers might be read and
discussions introduced, bearing on
seeds, soil, climate, fruit and oriia-
mental trees, flowers, implements, etc.
A thoroughly respectable, honest and
efficiently conducted association OF
this kind would soon enlist the good
will and warm approval Of all our
substantial, citizens and in short
time premiums would be offered for
the best improved farms, fruits, crops,
etc. | should be glad to see some
thing like this suggestion carried out
and would propose an early meeting
at one of our city hotels.
Yours, etc, WHiTwoRTH.

The Legislature adjourned Saturday
and met again to-day at the regular
hour. Many members whose homes
were accessible TO railroad, availed
themselves Of the opportunity to visit
the girl they left behind. The free
pass system being abolished the rail-
roads have not lost anything by the
adjournment. TIE relief question is
up in both branches of the legislature,
and many grave, constitutional qucs-
tons have been calculated and cx-
pounded by the members. Although
our constitution seems plain on most
subjects, yet your readers would be
surprised to find such difference OF
views on most every question having
the least possible reference to the fun
damental law The $4,000 in the
state treasury western members want
appropriated &c the grasshopper de-
vastated districts, while many in the
east part of the state claim such an
outlay unconstitutional. II is possible
that counties will be authorized to
issue bonds to provide for their own
poor without the expensive plan of
submission to The people, and leave
the board of county commissioners in
absolute control of disbursing the
funds. This plan, without details,
seems now TO be the most popular.

important subject "no fellah can tell"

THE AID BUSINESS.
The Kansas Legislature


IL not deemed too impertincnt We
would respectfully ask the Kansas
Legislature what il is doing TO relieve
the widespread restitution in the
state. That body has now been N
session something like four weeks, and,
still is the state central all committee
compelled TO shoulder the burdens Of
the whole work aud to take the curses
Of the disappointed. Faithfully, night.
aud day, have the members OF that
committee performed their work Of
charity, hoping for the time when the
legal representatives Of The people
would relieve them. La the meantime.
good and charitable souls east have
commenced TO ask the committee and
lis individual members The question.
"If there is so much suffering in your
state, why don't the legislature act =
Why don't the state, in lis legislative
capacity State comparatively free
from debt--do something for its peo-
pie? We too, can only ask. Why"
II is shame aud disgrace if we have
the ability 10 self-sustain.
The western, or grasshopper por-
ton of Kansas, is daily receiving
the charities of the east TO the tune OF
hundreds OF do.lars-wi!l our leeisla-
ture not make an attempt to do some
thing!
We have no patience with cries OF
"unconsiiin,ionality," inability, or
high taxes. Let the legislature take
the dilemma by all the horns presented
and make direct appropriation for
? the purchase Of a supply OF seed, for
the entire district left destitute, and a
sufficient sum beside, to pay the freight
upon the same to the hands OF the
county distributing authorities.
As rule our people are willing TO
help themselves, but as long as our
legal representatives at the capitol,
stand with their arms folded, it not
only discourages the people and the
slate aid committee, but also discour-
ages and disgusts those east, who have
been literally contributing of their
means.
Let the legislature act Immediately
