LET Him STICK TO TnAr.-Auditor
General Temple, announced on last
Wednesday, on the occasion Of the
letting for the extension of the Sur
veyor Generals Office TO accommodate
the new Department of Internal AZ
fairs, that he would pass no bills for
dollars worth of work beyond the
amount of the contract. The plan by
which the State has been defraudcd of
the benefit OF competitive bidding for
public. work at the Capitol has been to
put in bids lower than tho cost Of con-
structlon, and after the job was thus
secured TO o'depend for profits on huge
items of extras, which were put thro
the Legislature in tho shape Of special
appropriations by the assistance of
conniving officials. The extras for the
Capitol extension job cost tho State
$50, 900, provided for last winter.

Good Advice.

The only newspaper in Mississippi
that is edited by colored men publishes
an article in which it asserts that the
time has come for the colored people to
take new departure, cut loose from the
political Adventures who. while profess.
ing all sorts of friendship for the negro
voters, only use them to accomplish
their sinister designs, and join in with
men of character and responsibility in
the community, who are bound to the
soil of the State by ties stronger than
Offices and political emolument. The
colored voters in the South are learning
that their self-constituted leaders are as
selfish rs they are unprincipled. and that
they cannot impoverish the whites by
their schemes of public robbery without
infiicting equal injury on the blacks.
whose interests are ihseparably connect
ed with those of their white neighbors.
1t will not he long before the influence
ofthe carpet-baggers over the blacks, in
all the Southern States will be gone, and
then the colored voters will naturally
seek the advice the best class of white
citizens in regard to the choice of pub
lie officers, rs they now look to the same
class for counsel and assistance i'm the
ordinary affairs of lile.-N. Y. Sun.

the time is fast approaching for the re-
commencement four public free schools.
and as yet no move has been made to-
ward putting our schoolhouses in a situa-
ton available &c all our children. Our
school-houses have been erected now a.
bove three years, and the one located at
'.Lick Run" has never been and never
will be occupied; not even II Grant
should succeed in the third term business.
We have forty five children ut the low
est estimate which could attend these
school houses, and would undoubtedly
do 30 were the houses within their reach,
but as they are now situated (as above
stated the one never has been used and
the other is so located that not more
than fifteen or twenty out Of the forty
five children can attend.
Now we do hope and pray that those
who have such matters in charge, will see
to this thing ut once, as they will not
have more than time TO remove these
houses and get them in condition for the
reception of the schools, ere the first Of

A Deluge OF Rain.

ArcHEsoN. KANSAS, July 1.-The
whole Of Northern Kansas and South
ern Nebrdska has been almost deluged
with rain since Saturday morning. The
Atcheson 4 Nebraska Railroad is badly
washed, and no trains arrived at or left
this city to-day. The track Of the Chi.
cage. Rock Island & Pacific road is also
badly washed, and no trains left or ar.
rived to-day. All the other roads Gen.
tering here got their trains through on
time. The rains for the past ten days
have done very much to improve the
prospects for heavy corn crop. All
the other crops will be unusually heavy.
1t is estimated that Kansas will have
ten million bushels of wheat to export
this season.
