losses and damages cannot be made with
any degree of accuracy. 1t is believed,

cereal lying along the Illinois bottoms are

TIE VENDETTA.

We devote most Of our space this morn
ing to a graphic description OF the terrible
scenes that have made Williamson County,
Illinois, infamous. 1t seems improbable
that in this country and age such q dis
graceful state Of affairs can exist. The
CGrlists in Spain or rebels in Cuba would
look with surprise upon the man who would
:ell them that in the United States, the
greatest of Republics, man canwfth impun-
ity commit Deliberate, cold b!ooded murder.
That the law is powerless, and that the
members OF certain families, involved in
the quarrel, are daily in danger OF their
lives. Governor Beveridge says that he is
powcrless 10 act, that he can find no excuse
for protecting the lives OF those who owe
the government allegiance. General Sheri-
dan is the man needed at this time in ILL.,
nois. Instead of calling the quarrel fam
lily ieud, he would proclaim the parties to
the vendetta, lawless "banditti" and have
every one OF them punished as they de-
serve. The Bulliners and Hendersons are
more dangerous characters than the border
rufians of early Kansas, and have just as
little respect for organized authority. We
hope for the honor of Illinois that some
measures will be taken to put stop to
these outrases, and, if necessary, that every
rowdy in the county will meet his death at
the hands Of vigilance committees.

THE SOUTHERN PRESS ON 4 KANSAS
EDITOR.

The people of the South, the former reb-
els and traitors, do not seem TO have a very
exalted opinion of Bro. Swavze, of the To-
peka BlU,ie. Some time ago THE TINES
commented on the hanging of an innocent
man in Georgia, and said that Col Farrow,
the prosecuting attorney in the case, would
regret that he was connected with the pros
.cution. The Blade defended Col. Farrow,
and the article from that paper WAS pub
lished in The TINES. The Augusta GA
Chronicle GF,d Sentind, received yesterday,
has the following in regard to the affair.
As we believe the Bl1de does not exchange
with the Georgia newspaper we publish the
article for Bro. Swayze's benefit:
]. Clarke Swayze, whom Providence has
cent upon Kansas with the grasshoppers
10 complete the misfortune of that unhap-
Ply State, has something TO say in his pa
per-the Topeka BLade-about the charges
made against Col. III. p. Farrow, in connec-
ton with the hanging OF Lloyd, as the muir
derer of Judge Fish. Swayze saws:
But i. should be borne in mind who it is
that connects Col. Farrow unpleasan,ly
with such charge. He is persistent.
courageous and defiant Republican, whom
the rebels of Georgia would like to hang.
he did his duty faithfully in the case re-
ferred to, saving that he meant to stop this
killing of Republican officials by rebels. 1t
would be impossible for Henry p. Farrow
to be knowing 10 such u crime.
We have before taken occasion to saw
that there was no trustworthy evidence TO

THE WAGES OF FsRm HAM :

mcnt Tor JUly gives some statistics relative
T. the rates of wages paid farm hands in
the different States and Territories, which
show i falling OF the same since 1861 OF
over twenty per cent. There had been
serious decline from 1865 10 1869, so that
unskilled Labor is now paid far less than

cline has been in Ohio and Iowa, the man.

course represents the cost OF board, but the
general usage OF farmers is so uniform in
regard to boarding their hands that mos;
OF them are very unwilling to make any
material addition to the monthly wages oil

THE Usage INVESTIGATION.

The investigation at Usage Agency, OF
the management OF Agent Gibson, Will
probably close to-day. Ii Is charged that
Gibson has not only robbed the tribe. but
that he has deprived them OF the benefits
of religious liberty, and prevented them
from worshiping at the altar Of their choice.
II this can be satisfactorily proven by the
testimony Of reliable, honest, DISTINGUISHED
parties, We earnestly hope, for the sake of
good government, and in-the maine of re-
lisious liberty, that Gibson will he remoy
ed. Even il the crime OF theft and rob
berry, as charged, cannot he tracei TO the
corrupt acis OF this man, his Il rannical
and bigo;ed treatment OF that old mission
airy, Father Schoenemaker, a COCO innocent
man, whose hospitality knows no sect or
creed, deserves the seyerest condemnation.
An old priest, seventy years of age, who
has devoted the best part OF his life to the
civilization OF the osages, and who is loved
and revered by the youngest Of the tribe,
has been expelled by force from the Agen-
cy, and forbidden BY this fanatic to preach
to the Catholic :. .ae tribe. This alone
would be suficien; > for an inyesti-
gation, and We hope that tie committee
has done its duty, and listened to every
complaint made by the leading Osages. OF
course we do not pretend to say tina, Glib
son is guilty, but the case looks very bad,

TgEY WILL EoT EMlGRATR.

TIN coiored people Of Tennessee have
been dissatisfied with their condition, and
sent an exploring committee 10 Kansas to
spy out the land. The committee did this
work, and reported on Saturday at large
Unattended meeting near Nashville. While
admitting that Kansas offered many adj
yantases for citizens with capitai-about
81 ,Oc0 being the amount needed by the
emigrant-ti,e Commissioners advised poor
people TO stay at home. There was some
opposition to this report, one enthusiastic
individual declaring that the commission
ers were bribed, but the.mass of the hear
ers, who were about fifteen hundred in
number, accepted the report, and concluded
to bear those ills they had than fly to 9TH
ers that they knew not OF.
We believe that the colored people did
right in accepting the report of their COM
mittee. Kansas, undoubtedly, il the hest
State in the union, but it is not the place
for fOrtune-seekers, who come to US with
out a cent Of money. The persons referred
TO would leave Tennessee penniless, and ar
irving in Kansas, would become discour-
aged, and sooner or later leave the farm
and Geld for more congenial spots in the
towns or cities
