Lawrence, Kansas, Bridge Gone.

The dam across the Kansas river at
Lawrence gave way last Friday at
noon, about one hundred feet in the
middle of the river going out. The
main portion of the dam remains in
tact. The breach occurred about fifty
feet directly below the third pier from
the south end of the bridge across the
river. About four O'Clock the pier
gave way and let two of the spans of
the bridge into the river. They fioated
down to the railroad bridge, whore
they struck the piers and were par
tally broken up. In their passing
down they caught and broke the wire
cable that runs Persons Touring mill
on the north side. The total damage
to dam and bridge will be about ten
thousand dollars.

The navigation of tho Arkansas
river is the latest enterprise on the
tapis. The Arkansas City Trdreler
has been demonstrating the practical
bility of the scheme somewhat, and
giving the news of the movements of
the projectors. Last week we were
handed letter of introduction to q
Mr.. A. Graverock, who visited our
city in connection with the project.
We were so busy that we failed of a
conference with that gentleman, but
he demonstrated to the satisfaction of
several citizens the entire feasibility
of his plan. We are incredulous, and
at the risk of losing free ride upon
the uncertain bosom of the raging
Rackensack, give it as our opinion
that before the Arkansas river can be
navigated by anything larger than
acknowledgement catfish, its sides
and bottom will have to be boarded up
and it's present width diminished by
two-thirds at least.

Congressman and Governor.

The Topeka Times, quoting the EA-
Giles article on Hon. Thomas Ryan,
of last week, criticises our position
somewhat. to which we raise no objec-
ton. The article is too long for re-
production entire, but we quote in
part:
ave would suggest to the EAGLE
that the sentiment in favor of Mr..
Guthrie for Governor did not origin
ate in Topeka, nor has his candidacy
been pressed by our people. The To-
peka papers have had but very little
to say about it, and in fact nearly all
they have done is to reproduce some
of the notices of the country press fa.
voring his nomination. The Leaven-
worth Times was the first paper, we
believe, that nominated him, and the
country papers generally, throughout
the State, cordially seconded the NOM
nation. Mr.. Guthrie never considered
himself candidate for the first place
on the Republican ticket until papers
by the score had spoken favorably of
the idea. This cordial and unanimous
endorsement of the press was exceed
ingly gratifying to his Topeka friends,
and they would all be pleased to see
the choice of the press in this respect
ratified. Few men enjoy more esteem
and respect among his neighbors than
John Guthrie. While it is probable
that he will be the Republican nomi-
nee for Governor, it must not be con-
sidered that he is Topeka candidate,
for he is, apparently, the spontaneous
choice of the Republicans Of the State.
"The people of this district, when
they calmly take retrospective view
of the history of our State, will not
consider it indicate in Topeka if she
desires to furnish a Congressman. 1t
is the capital of the State, the second
city in population, and the only city
among its peers that has not been di-
rectly represented in Congress. Leav-
enworth has been represented in both
Congressional houses: Atchison has
always been represented in the Senate;
Lawrence has been represented six
years in the Senate and eight years in
the House; Fort Scott has been repre-
sented four years in the House; Salina
is now being represented q second
term in the House; Riley is being rep
resented in the Senate and Hutchinson
is being represented in the House.
Properly speaking we do no injustice
in saying that those particular locali-
ties were or are being represented;
we should say that they have all fur
nished men to represent the State at
the National capital. A Congressman
who is broad enough in his views to
represent the interest Of all his con-
stituents, honors the whole district if
he is q worthy member. The question
oflocality should be of secondary con-
sideration in the selection of a candi-
late. In the councils of the Nation
we should be represented by our best
men; those who are not only able to |
our material interests and |
'ecure for us our proportion of public |
avors or dues, but who are also COM
,etent to give dignity and prestige to
he State"

dwelling of Lincoln Statue.

At Washington OH the 14th Of April
the unwilling of Lincoln statue, at
Lincoln Square, was made the feature
of the holiday. The colored were out
in full force. The procession was large
including colored troops, Knight Tenn
plars of St. Augustine, the Sons of
Purity, Sons of Levi, Good Samaritans
Labor League, and other uniformed
benevolent associations, accompanied
with music. There was an immense
assemblage at the Park. The statue,
covered with flags, was the great OBJ
ject of interest.
The first contribution to the statue
funds was made on the morning after
the assassination of President Lincoln,
by Charlotte Scott, colored woman
Of Marietta, who gave five dollars.
The original cost of the monument was
ST., 900 and other incidental expenses
have all been paid by colored people.
The last Congress appropriated ST.
900 for the pedestal, aud the statue was
allowed to pass the Custom House free
of duty. The statue is of bronze, is
twelve feet high, resting on pedestal
ten fact high. 1t represents Mr.. Lin
coin standing erect, with the Procla-
nation of Independence in his left
hand, while the right hand is out
stretched over the kneeling figue of

monument is the word ''Emancipa-

NORTH NINNEsCAH, April 70, 1876.


EDITOR EAGLE: Our little squib of
March has failed to receive place in
your paper. for what cause we know
not. We are glad to see the report of
the different townships in regard to
their growth and prosperity, and their
willingness to try the "Happy Valley
while longer.
Our part of the county Garden
Plains) is settling up fast, and the new
Corners are highly pleased. From our
own experience, we find the soil here
is as fine as any part of the State.
Our wheat looks well, but the area of
wheat sown is small, only about sixty
acres in this township. The soil pro-
duces well; from forty to sixty bushels
of corn to the acre. Our soil is black
sandy loan on the first bottom, and
back on the higher lands it is as fine
mulatto soil as ever was titled. The
old buffalo hunters are astonished to
see such a growth of blue-stem grass
Oh our bottom lands. When they
hauled their hides and meat along
here there was nothing but the buffalo
grass where now we can cut two and
a half to three tons to the acre of fine
blue-stem.
We can stand in our door and see
eighteen plows turning the sod, and
land hunters still coming. They have
learned that we have fine country,
and they cannot be kept away. The
only draw back here is fencing.
There will great many business
transactions that Wichita will lose on
account of the extortiOn. A great
many will go to Hutchinson for coal
and lumber.
Not wishing to be wearisome, we
still remain sincerely yours,
FARMER Slow.

The Superiority Of Arkansas Valley Wheat.

The proprietor of the Manchester
Star Mills, Jocob Schreiner, at Man.
haitian, Missouri, writes as follows I'M
der date of April 18th:
Editor Eagle, Wichita, Kansas:
DEAR SIR II herewith enclose you
subscription to your valuable paper.
| watch proceedings in and around
Wichita with much interest. Twas in
your State last fall buying wheat and
finally concluded that Wichita was the
best place l could find. The wheat of
Kansas is far superior to that raised in
this locality being raised on richer soil.
The bran is lighter to the bushel and
there is less of it than there is of wheat
raised here. consequently more flour
can be made per bushel. There is but
one objection have, and that is high
freights to st. Louis. If it was not for
this would have all my wheat come
direct from there.

tee of the Patrons of Husbandry, we
publish the following editorial from
the Pueblo (Colorado) Chieftain:
"We notice in the Kansas papers ap-
peals to the charitable for aid for the
farmers of Colorado, who are said TO
be ia state of destitutlon OH account
of the grasshopper visitation last year.
We have used every effort in our pow
er to discover whether any destitution
exists among the farmers of Southern
Colorado, aud can discover none. Our
farmers are not paupers asking for the
aid of the people of neighboring States,
and if any extreme poverty does exist
among the agricultural class, it must
be looked for north of the divide, and
not III the valleys of the Arkansas or
its tributaries. Our farmers do not
desire to figure in the eyes of the out
side world as .bcggars, unless COM
PEELED 10 do SO, which necessity is not
likely to occur at present"
