FROM KANsAs.--Mr M. M. Mark,
of Attica, sends us a private letter
from j. III. Jones, a friend at Spring
field, Mitchell county, Kansas, asking
for aid for his family--wife and five
children. Mr.. Mark vouches for the
truthfulness of the writer, and re-
quests publication of the facts stated
in the letter. We here append brief
synopsis. Mr.. Jones states that he has
claim, and would be glad to remain
upo1 it If he can sustain his family
until harvest. The grasshoppers de-
stroyed ell, his crops and left his family
destitute. They have no food except
bread, and that of very poor quality
sometimes Of bran and shorts mixed.
They have been unable to secure any
thing Of consequence from the relief
societies, and cannot depend upon OBJ
tanning sustenance from that source.
The business Of the societies Is not
honestly conducted, and clothing and
sent are not fairly distribu-
ted. He is one Of the unlucky ones,
and cannot get what Is absolutely
needed. Some car loads are entirely
expended for freights and other ex-
penses. Mr.. Mark is requested to
make special effort in the vicinity Of
Attica and Knoxville to secure aid for
him and his family. The case 10 un-
doubtedly sad one, and worthy Of
such relief as any benevolent person
may feel disposed to render. Send
amounts to M. M. Mark, Attica, Iowa,
or direct to Mr.. Jones, and they will
be greatfully received by a worthy and
needy family.

TEMPERANCE CONvENTIoN.-In an
other column will be found call for a
convention to nominate candidates for
city officers. The call is made by a
committee selected by the citizens
temperance convention last year. We
know of no probability that there will
be any other convention called. Re
publicans are generally favorable to
such an ordinance as that referred to
in this call, forbidding the sale Of beer
in the city, and are always in favor of
the other specification, just and
economical administration" and If
this convention will give us worthy
nominees, pledged to these two things,
and fairly representing both parties,
as the nominees Of such convention
should, we think the Republicans OF
the city will not take advantage of
their majority by placing party
ticket in the field All are alike inter-
ested in the peace and good govern
ment of the city, and il the ticket
nominated on the 9th inst. gives
good promise of these, and bears no
names obnoxious, 1t will probably be
elected without opposition. 1t will be
well, however, If you are in the house
when this temperance convention
meets, to notice that ifthere is a whis
ky-loving rowdy in the town he will
be there voting for Mccormack pets,
and bawling for candidate for Mayor
of this Republican town, who boasts
that he was copperhead during the
war and is proud of it. And the same
fellow will labor for a Marshal of his
own stripe. Gentlemen, if you call
your meeting temperance conven-
ton, let it be so in fact and faith, and
do not allow it to be used as so-called
temperance conventions have some
times heretofore.

THE people OF M.ry.viIIe, a. it

THE people OF MarysviIle, rs II
seems to US, are unjust in persistently
averring that Knoxville people are On
friendly to Marysville, and have not
treated them fairly concerning the To-
cation of the A. K. & d. railroad line.
We publish this week a letter from
Marysville giving the proceedings Of
a meeting recently held in that place
for consultation i'm reference to the
payment Of taxes voted in Liberty
township some years ago to aid in
building the road. AS we understand
the matter. the Tux was voted without
any specification as to the location Of
the railroad except that it was TO pass
through the township. Had the read
missed Hamilton and gone to Marys-
vile, the people of the former place
would have had the same cause Of
complaint that the people of the latter
now have, viz: stls6ts they were not
benefited 80 much as somebody else.
When the road reaches Hamilton the
Marysyille people will have a depot
some ten or twelve miles nearer than
they now have; and this they should
surely consider an advantage equiva-
lent to the small amount of their tax
es. They are unfortunate in being
SO situated that the road could
not reach them without
making almost insurmountableg grades.
They are unjust also In accusing Mr..
Tracy of dishonesty in declaring their
route impracticable on account of the
steep grades, unless they are prepared
to prove their assertions by maps, pro-
files and estimates made after careful
and scientific surveys.
A large majority of the people of
Knoxville would have preferred that
the road should be located
via Marysville and Attica, for
several very good reasons:
1t would have been shorter route,
and would have made the junction
with an east and west road at Knox
vile instead of ten or twelve miles
east of US; and much larger amount
could have been raised along the line
to aid in the construction than can
possibly be anticipated on the present
route. Give US only justice, friends Of
Marysvile. We are only selfish
enough to want a railroad; and if we
cannot bring it through your town
we shall try to secure it on some other
route. You can also have road, and
we hope you will have one soon up
and down the Cedar valley; aud this
road will help you to get it if you will
bide your time with patience, and be
as liberal as you can afford to be when
the opportunity comes. Offer one
half, or even one-fourth of the coal
under your acres for a branch to tap
our road, and you will get 1t; and the
coal you have left will make you all
rich.

THE AMOUNT subscribed in aid of

THE AMOUNT subscribed in aid oil
the railroad enterprise up to this time,
Wednesday noon, probably does not
exceed $4,000. This Is slow work,
and should convince the people that
the amount cannot be raised unless
they come forward almost to the man
, and help. Will they do it, or shall we
fail again simply because we are not
willing to help ourselves?
The meeting at the Court House
this afternoon may develop something
favorable. Tet US be found trying to
the last.
