HARVEY COUNTY MUST PAY Her PROPORTION
OF TIE RAILROAD INDEBTEDNESS.

News was sent sent u yesterday
that Sedgwick county had gained her
suit agaisst Harvey county in the SUI
preme Court of the State for the pay
ment of her proportion of the railroad
indebtedness of the two counties.
We gained no particulars from our
letter, but our understanding is
that tic decision reverses that made
by the lower court, and which, in eff
feet, makes it obligatory upon Harvey
county 20 carry out its agreement
made when organized, viz: the pay
ment Of the principal aud interest of
her proportion Of the bonds issued in
aid Of the construction Of the Wichita
81 Southwestern Branch.
The case has been a long and tedious
one, and to a. c. Sluss and w. E.Stan-
ley great praise is due from the people
of the county, especially from the tax
payers. As county attorney, Henry
c. Sluss persistently wagcd a war of
justice and constitutional law, never
losing a point or making single mis-
take. When bis term of Office had ex-
PRED, and ". j.. Stanley backled on
the armor with determination TO
win or sink, Siuss, who had spent SO
much labor and study upon the case,
relying upon bis former Judgment,
volunteered TO see the matter through.
Splendidly have the two finished the
task, and it is with pleasure that we
compliment them TO the people of the
county. They have won victory for
the people that will be forgotten.

For the EAGLE.
Wool Growing.
KECHI, june 2. Is;

KECHI, June 2, 1876.
ED. EAGLE:-Mr. Fouts talks "bizn
when he says give us home market
for our wool, for surely the ''from fif-
teen TO twenty-five cents offered by
our Wichita buyers can't be considerd
much Of market. Only yesterday
Jake Cooper and myself baled up 1875
pounds which is now OH its way to
Jacksonville, Illinois, seeking a buyer.
Fifteen of the heaviest tleeces out of
thirty-one shorn from my own sheep,
was weighed by one of our honest me-
chanics, John Forey, and weighed re-
spectively,14, Is, Is IL, IL, IS, 10, IS %,
y 1-2, 10, II, IS, II IL, II, II, and II
pouIds-an average of IS Is pounds.
Our 'Lord William" sheared II pounds
of choice, combing woods such as brings
the top price in the wool markets of
our country. Saying nothing about
the grease and the other adherents
which naturally attach themselves to
Merino wool, friend Fouts beats us
three pounds in weight; but how much
in market value?
also accomplished wonderful feat,
that of shcaring nine head of sheep i'll
half day, and obtaining therefrom
12S pounds Of wool.
Another name from kechi is enrolled
as member of the sheep raising fra
sernity of Sedgwick county. Samuel
Vandegrift has purchased Jake Coop
er's flock of 255 head of ewes and lambs.
Jake. we are glad to note, intends buy
ing again, as he has already engaged
his bucks for next fall. Yours,

The Kansas Farmer and the Eagle.

"Colonel Murdock's reply to the
Farmers article is moderate, fair
and manly one. Had we known what
we do now, the article in question
would not have appeared in the Farm
err In our own defense we must say,
however, that there have appeared at
various times in the EAGLE articles
of the same character that the Farmer
deemed unjust and uncalled- for to-
wards itself, and our reply was made
believing Col. Murdoch the author Of
them. We bear Marsh Murdoch, per-

Chicago has been selected as the
place for holding the session of the
Presbyterian General Assembly for
1877. In view of the probability that
another year will bring about re-
