RAP. SGilE10g's Railroad DiII.
The railroad bill introduced by
Mr.. Stillings. of LeaYenworth, and
commonly known a. the Marrow
Gauge Bill" has now been acted
upon by both Houses, and will be-
come law as soon 0s published.
The bill is quite lengthy, but the
principles OF it can be stated in q
very few words: 1t provides thst
counties, townships and cities may
take stock in local railroads, to the
amount o eight thousand dollars .
mile, to Ne secured by first-mort-
gage bonds upon the road. Coun-
ties, &C., that have no Indebtedness
now can only vote enough TO make
. total of $1,000 per mile.
The bill sets forth In detail the
manner OF calling snd holding cleo.
tons, of issuing and selling bends,
and taking security upon the prop
erty of the company. 1t is very
carefully drawn mp, and seems to
fully meet the requirements OF the
case, by giving counties and cities
authority, under proper restric-
tons, to extend aid. Ia reasonable
sums, to locate railroads, while q
the same time it seems to provide
ell necessary safeguards against
fraud. The effect Of the oil IL &c

We read with much delight the
weekly fanciful gushes of our
young friend of the Wichita Eagle.
He can acknowledge the receipt of
a cabbage or turnip in flowing style,
and is GH fat on a strip in the
country" On the fields of golden
grain, the ''sea of waving billOwy
grass" and on the receipt of bo-
quet, he has few equals. But when
it comes to factS and figures, we
presume it will hardly be claimed
that our friend is a Grad grind.
His gushing nature carries him of
his feet, and he wanders. Let us
give 8 specimen:
Shades of Cincipnatii
''From the 18th OF November to the 18th
of February, Mr. has bought and
shipped u ,09O fat hogs the aggregate
weight of which was 345, O69 pounds, or
An average Of 2s5 pounds per head. The
entire cash receipts OF his three MONTH 3
work adds up just 81 ,034.60, nearly
every cent OF which has found its way
back to the pockets Of our farmers"
It is from no fault finding motive
that we engage in a tbrief dissec-
ton of these figures. Now, we
find, according to the way we learn
ed to figure, that 1900 fat hogs
that average 1886 pounds per head, y
aggregate 3,445,6 $50 lbs. instead OF
345, 069. Hog men will undoubted-
ly smile to read that 1900 fat hogs
brought 'lust SO ,O34.6O or q little
less than 81 per hog. If Mr., n.
has any mere to sell at these figures
we would like to buy at least one
ham. He can send it sc. o. D.
We nnhesItatinglY express the
''uninspiring" opinion that Wichits
and ali the surrounding country
never saw, all put together, 1900
fat hogs, or lean ones either. A
statement has been going thu
rounds of the State press that Kan
sas packed, this year, 10000 hogs
This 10 a good deal nearer the trutl
than the statement of Eagle. WheI
it is considered that Wichita is no
situated il a hog country, and tina
it has been but little over a yea
since about all the hogs were ruI
out of the State on account of tn
scarcity of feed, it will be a goO'
deal easier to make the amount &C
tuslly packed at Wichita In tire
months 1900 lbs, instead of tire
and one-half millions. This
probably what the Eagle intende
to say, but the subject got ava
with the editor. We hore his fig
ures will generally be little "clol
> er to the mark" However, we ca
stand it if the Eagle and its reader

family has labored so variously and
successfully as the subject of this
sketch, Bishop J. Il. Peck.
His early work, which brought
him prominently before the Church,
was in connection with some of her
leading educational Institutions. He
was successfully principal of Coy
erneur Seminary, Troy Conference
Academy, ind president of Dickin-
son College, Carlisle, Pa. In each
and all of these responsible posi-
tions he evinced that energy, tact,
and enthusiasm, which have since
been such prominent characteristics
OF his labors. Retiring from Dick
inson College, he was elected Secre-
tary of the NJ. L. Tract Society, and
did much to stimulate the Church
to greater and more systematic eff
forts in this department. He was q
delegate to the memorable general

EMPORIA MARKET REPORT.

EMPoAIA, HAS, March 8, 1876.
The markets are very quiet-thcugh corn
canes in steadily, and is mostly shipped to
Baltimore, at 90 cents per 100 lbs. freight All
the roads except the Hannibal q st. Joseph,
agreed to raise freights from Kansas City
east cents per 100 lbs. on the LIST Of March,
but that road refuses 70 raise until April LIST,
and the others will therefore wait until that
time. The raise would Of course bring prices
down here just in proportion

any indication of an unwillingness
to make the appropriations neces-

1t is the most effectual method for

publisher finds q modest aud unset

thinks that the 50 he pays on sub

debating the course the paper shall

that such privilege is not included

The New York Tribune says of the
Babcock trial:
"No one can claim that the court
was biased in Gen. Babcock's favor
or that the prosecution was inefi.
cient, or that the Jury were prepos-
sessed. There are some points up
on which the evidence ought to
have been fuller, but it has been an
eminently fair trial, ending in q
satisfactory result. The guilt of the
great Whisky Conspiracy has blast
ed hundreds of homes, ruined fair
regulations, and day by day fresh
evidence of its enormous extent has
come to light, until men have been
tempted to believe that no officer of
the Government came within its
reach without being corrupted.
But ct the entrance Of the White
House the scandal has been met
and turned back. Thank heaven
the faint does not go that far"
