HON. JAMES HARLAN.

We arc to-day in receipt of ain an
nounccment for speech to be deliv-
cred here on October 4th, by Senator
Harlan. The hour forthe speech will
be advertised as soon as determined
upon. Senator Harlan is one Of The
ablest stumpers we have ever had, or
now have in the State. He was in-
vited carly i'll the campaign, by the
Central Committee, TO take the stump,
but at that time was down with fe-
yer al Colorado Springs. where he
had been in attendance upon his i'm
valid son. and could moi comply with
the request. Within the past few
days. being fully restored TO health
himself. the request has been renewed
by III. c. Leighton, Chairman of our
Central Committee, and the Senator
has consented to make few speeches
in the short time left of the campaign
The Senator makes Il very effective
speech. and hundreds who have heard
him in days past in this county, will
be glad to have another opportunity
of hearing him.

Sept. 18th, 1875.
DEAR COURIER: Perhaps few
words from this region may be acccp-
table to most Of your readers. We
have good corn crops, and tho yield OF
small grains wac, in most cascs good.
Tho month Of June was dry, Int in
July and August there WAS plenty ai
rain to bring ont tho corn, grass and
garden vegetables, but there have been
no floods. Melons we're abundant and
very fine, aud | have one pumpkin
vine on my promises containing TWEEN
ty pumpkins. Tho Colorado potato
bug has been troublesome in some To-
calitiea. There isa prickiy plant call
cd the bnll-bur, or hnls-nettlc, which
was probably their principal food be-
fore migration and civilization brought
them in contact with the potato; AT
any rate they prey on ii voracionsly -
The wild snnfl,war grows very abnn-
dant, and though not very difficult TO
eStirpate, ia a disagrecable thing TO
have mixeh with wheat, as it imparis
to it a bitter taste. while in the stack,
Thus far the present month has been
windy, which has put the people back
in stacking hay. Scarcity Of machines
makes the threshing business tardy,
which wonld cause many to be later
than they would wish in putting in
their fall grain. improvements are
steadily progressing, and emigration
is coming in. The health of tho peo-
pie is good, generally speaking. My
daughter that lives with me, had the
erysipelas early last spring, and weak
ness of the system has confined her at
home, though not to her bed, for a
few weeks past. There have been
few cases of ague among children.
There hasnot been much noise about
politics, though the Republicans have
called Convention to meet early in
October for nominating county tick
ct. the Western Democrat" lately
published at Lincoln Center, which
claimed to be the only Democratic pa
per published in Western Kansas, has
died, and the press is now used in
publishing the Saline Valley Regis
ter" Republican paper. Another
Republican paper, "The Lincoln Coun-
ty Patriot has been published for
some time. Whether two papers of
the same political creed can flourish in
the county, remains to be seen. Most
of the present county officers are Re-
pnblicans, and favorable news may be
expected from us in November.
Respectfully, d. V. LEWIS.

A Pesishing Pa,rsarch. .

One day last month, when trade was
dull, a Nicksbnrg grocery clerk pro.
cured piece OF sOle-leather from =
shoemaker, painted it black, and laid
ii aside for future use. Within few
days ali old chap from back in the
country eanfe in and inquired tor a
plug OF chewing tobacco. The piece
of sole-leather was tied up, paid for.
and the purchaser started for home.
At the end of the sixth day he return
ed, looking downcast and detected,
and walking into the store he inquired
of the clerk:
"'Member that terbacker got here
the other day?'
"Yes."
"Wcll, was that new brandt

"Well, then, it's me; it's right here

the clerk, as he smelled of the counter

"Be Sure that school Keeps. .


Senator Oglesby, at the close OF his
speech at Cincinnati, Ohio, q couple of
weeks ago, electrified his audience
with the following brief but effective
peroration II leave my best wishes
with you aud whatever else comes Of
1t in the future, whatever may be our
fate hereafter. let me say to you a. my
parting word: "Whatever else shall
fail, be sure that school keeps" Pro-
longed applause.
The fact is, the Republicans Of Ohio
have the interests Of the, public schqol
sense. BY the legislative enac,ments
of their opponents, rs well as by the
avOwed declarations OF individuals
aud classes Of controlling influence in
the Democratic party, in hostility TO
the common school, the necessity is
placed upon them of coming 10 the
rescue of a System which lies At tho
very basis OF our scheme of govern
ment, and which has done moro to in
sure its success in the past century
than any other single influence or in-
strumentaliiy. II is not surprising,
then, that these words of Senator Og
lesby should be kept ringing in the
press Of Ohio.
But it il not in Ohio, alone, that
danger threatens the public school
system. IL ia the same in nearly every
State whero Democracy aspircs to po-
litical control. And il is natural. that
itshould be go. Ignorance and slavery
were. for a quarter OF a century, the
chief corner-stones of the Democracy,
and it was only when slavery aud De-
mocracy were overthrown by the re-
suit of the rebellion. and Republican
ism was triumphant, that the Southern
States began to evince any considera-
BILE degree of progression in the cause
of popular education.

DEMOCRACY prates good deal about
the declaration OF the Republican
Central Committee to make general
joint discussion Of the county. Ex-
pericnce in this business had taught
the committee that these meetings
were poorly attended that they real
ly effect nothing, as people are full
ly informed, and make up their
minds from nothing which they hear
at such discussions. flour opponents
are content to put in their time in
that way. and we are content to do
our electioneering after another fash
ion, we see no reason why the What
is-its should complain. The State can
vass is not conducted by joint discns-
sion. and we do not now recollect of
a county in the State where this
method is adopted. 1t may be that
our candidates are not educated to
fighting from the stump; that they
have not spent a life time in cultivat-
ing the gift of CAB, and may think
they can do heavier work in another
way. At all events, the result will
show who chooses the best weapons
for the battle. To say that Republi-
cans are afraid to meet Democracy
upon the stump, is simply cheap bum
combe. They have been offered dis
cussion. if they want IL. but so far as
we have heard, have failed to re-
spond. As to roaming over the coun-
ty to address bakers dozen here
and there, our committee did not
deem it advisable, and in this we
agree with them.

New York Liberals,

ALBANY, Sept. 22.-The Liberal
State Convention met to-day, and Or
ganized, with John Cochran. chair
man.
The following ia the substance of
the platform. Favoring resumption or
paper convertible into coin; reforms
ton in the civil service one term; 10.
cal self government is the basis of
free government, and forcibIe inter-
ference with this right of the State,
usarps it; q free press; opposition to
monopolies economy in public ex-
pendi'ures; the securing of minimum
taxation; canal reform; the school
fund to be devoted exclusively to the
present common school system con-
deinn the national administration for
illegal and oppressive acts, and its un-
stable policy in the administration Of
finances, and its imitation of the cur
rency.
They do not deem it necessary or
useful to nominate a State ticket, but
recommend to the Liberal aud indie
pendent voters to support candidates
already in nomination.
The following is the substance of =
resolution offered by Mr.. Bliss, but
was not adopted:
Res0tued, That we reafiirm the prin-
cipies and policy of the Liberal party
since its organization that the Demo-
cratic and Liberal parties are now
identical in aims and purposes, and we
do hereby heartily adopt and recom-
mend for support, the platform and
candidates of the Democratic party,
lately adopted at Syracuse, rs the
platform and candidates of the Liber-
al party of tho State of New York.

SAYS the Omaha Republican of the
18th: "Mr. George Medlock, the sex.
ton Of Prospect Hill Cemetery, was
well acquainted with the late Rev.
Joseph Barker in England. They sat
together in a Democratic or Liberal
Convention at one time, and were al
ways friends. In the changes of time,
the sad duty was yesterday accorded
Mr.. Medlock of performing the very
last earthly services for his old friend
and comrade."
From this, we learn of the death OF
Joseph Barker, who is well known to
several of our citizens. He was once
a prominent divine in England; af-
forwards noted Infidel, holding a
great many discussions in this coun-
try, controverting the divine author
ity of the Bible, and yet, some years
ago, he again embraced religion, and
became devoted Christian.
