MARSHALL, September 10, 1877.
EDITOR EAGLE AS quito 8 num-
Der of your patrons live west OF the
Minnesota, thought you might like
to hear what we are doing in this part
of the county.
The farmers are very busy putting
in their wheat. There are ten acres
put in this year where there was one
last year. One of the most interest
ing topics of the day is the bridging
of the North Minnesota. We cannot
forget the perilous times we had
crossing during the food of May and
June last, and the scarcity of food and
fuel. Had there not load or two of
provisions been brought from Hutch
inson we would have suffered. From
the number of petitions advertised in
your paper the people mean business.
The first point, between SECTIONS six
aud seven, is much too far north in
the corner of the county, which would
make il very inconvenient for all of
the western travel to go so far out of
their way to cross. Another place
petitioned for is between sections
twenty-one and twenty-eight, nearly
due west from Wichita, but has worry
poor banks, there being only sand
bar on the west side. We would need
4 bridge 400 feet long 10 be OF any use
in time of high water, as filing is out
Of the question in this part Of the
county. Another place is between
sections twenty-eight and thiriy-thrce.
This is one mile south of the city line !
,ut good banks and on the Medicine
rail, where great deal of freighting
S done to Kingmau, Medicine and
,ther points west of Sedgwick sounty.
We hope the Commissioners will
.ome and look at the different points
before deciding where to locate it.
We would like it where it will accom-
nodate the most travel at the least ex- ,
,ense. n. Y.

No Courthouse Rings in Ours.

One thing which the people of Sedg-
wick county, SO far in the history OF
their county organization, have never
yet had imposed upon them, is that
worst of all scourges, a courthouse
ring, beside which a grssshopper raid,
or long-continued drouth are, COM
paratively, blessings. Some Of the
older counties in this State have been
bled by these leeches and the public
morals and credit corrupted by them,
but the admirable policy adopted by
our people in not allowing any man to
feed out Of the public crib for longer
time than two terms, which also pre-
vents combinations, cliques, snd rings
within rings, from being formed, has
completely relieved US from this evil.
This course of procedure in the
election Of our county officers seems
to be the conclusion of our people
upon this subject, and the conclusion
of an intelligent people upon any SUBJ
ject of Importance to them, is gener-
ally correct, besides in the day of gen.
erous culture and competency in men,
are essential to success in any calling,
there can be found many men of integ-
rity and fitness to fill our offices.
These qualities are not the inheri-
tancc of any one man or set Of men in
this county, but are possessed by many
men in common. Occasionlly we have
an illustration-and the past history of
our country at large furnishes some
brilliant ones-that successive Office
holding is demoralizing even to those
whose virtues are Of the most rugged
character.
After holding Office reasonable
length of time rest from the irk-
some duty of drawing regular salary,
is alike beneficial to the individual
and public, and the only thing that is
painful and different about this system
is to make the individual see it.

GREAT BATTLES AND HORRIBLE SACRIFICE OF
LIFE.

From the latest cable dispatches ds-
ted London, 17,h, it is very evident
that something terrible in the way of
battle has taken place at Plevna, but
So contradictory are the reports that
nobody can tell which side won, but
probably the Turks, "They fight like
Turks" The Russian army in force
attacked the Notifications of Plevna
on Sunday, and Consiautinople dis
patch says were repulseI with loss
of 5000 men and that the Roumanian
corps on the northeast were complete
ly routed with frightful loss, abandon
ing the field and all their heavy guns.
On the heels OF this comes a dispatch
that Osmsn Pasha defeated the Rus
slams or Saturday killing and wound
ing 5000 men. Grand Duke Nicholas
telegrsphs that he is still Smelling the
Notifications and that the city is on
fire. a Bucharest correspondent says
that dispatch reached that point Sun
day from the Imperial headquarters
stating that the Turks had made des-
perate efforts te re-capture the GRAY
itza redoubt, making seven Intellectual
attempts and that 10000 Turks bit the
dust. The Gravitza redoubt was
piled with dead and wounded in ghast-
ly, undistiBguishable heaps, and the
Turks would not allow the approach
of surgeons and litter bearers. Some
English merchants were to be hanged
at Phillipoppoiis on Sunday, and &C.
Gil BucklsDd of the American legation
had gone TO intcrcede for them. The
English Vice Consul would not inter
fere. There is 4 perfect reign of ter
ror from Adrianople 10 the Balkans
and all male Bulgarians are hunted

A Just Tribute.

The Grafton OF the unwilling of the
Soldiers Home monument at Dayton,
Ohio, was delivered by General J. d.
Cox. The telegraphic record of his
speech made prominent the sentence,
I'VE expected and hoped to welcome
here distinguished representatives. OF
the cause which was lost in the terri
bic struggle" without giving the
closing part, which reads: yet even
the high tone OF sentiment and
thought which is thus inspired will
not be so lasting as the memories
which will be permanently linked to
this monument itself and to the pa
thetic story of its building" The
Grafton was an eloquent tribute to the
worth of the private soldier. Speak
ing of the gallant commanders of the
war and of the President and other
distinguished guests present, General
Cox said of those whose deeds were
associated with the monument, "They
gave more than we all"

EDITOR EAGLE Notwithstanding
the EAGLE has for long time been q
regular and welcome guest oar house,
for some cause it failed to reach us
last week. Its absence and our disap-
pointment were surely not intended,
for it was promptly OIL hand this week
and full of life and news as ever.
The farmers in this vicinity are get
ting on finely with their wheat SOW
ing. A few of them will finish SOW
ing this week. A much greater
breadth will be sown than in any pre-
vious year. Mr.. William Willis and
Sons have upwards of two hundred
acres sown. The warm weather and
frequent showers of the past few days
have caused the early Gown fields TO
look quite green.
Since the three past seasons have
fully demonstrated that Kansas has
ceased to be reliable, even for drouths,
the question now most interesting our
farmers, is how they can best dispose
OF the present, as well as the future
corn crop, which must inevitably be
produced in tn is valley. Quite num-
Der of the well-to-do farmers of this
vicinity are preparing to feed a por-
Of hal n 90 In n n
hogs, which will, no doubt, result in
paying them fair price for their corn
and labor.
The ever generous and enterprising
ladies of this neighborhood gave n
peach festival at the school house last
Thursday evening. for the benefit of
our Methodist minister, Rev. Mr..
Cain. The affair was grand success,
both socially and financially, the net
proceeds amounting to twenty dollars.
Peaches and cream, cakes, candies and
ice cream were sought after and dis
posed OF by a few Of the boys in
manner which indicated that they
could not easily be excelled in their
appetites or storage capacity for such
nicknacks. Mr.. E. P. Smith, new
conner among US, presided at the or
gan and gave us some fine selec tions.
On the following evening Mr.. IL. c.
Boyle and wife, in accordance with
their accustomed hospitality, gave an
ice cream supper at their residence,
which was partaken of and highly ell
joyed by large circle of their many
friends and neighbors.

Judge Taft delivered his first speech
in the Ohio campaign at Sandusky on
Thursday evening, combining himself
TO the discussion of questions bearing
on the financial policy of the Govern
ment. Whatever subject Judge Taft
touches he discusses with ability, and
this Sandusky speech will be one of
the most effective of the Ohio cam
paign. In discussing the silver ques-
ton he declares the objections urged
against the silver dollar are. in the
main, groundless. The objection OF
Mr.. David Wells, that silver is too
heavy and bulky to be carried con-
veniently in the pocket, be meets by
expressing the opinion that our bust
ness transactions will be carried on in
some form of paper circulation. lie
thinks no system of banking could be
more absolutely secure than our pres
ent one. and is sure that the Republic
can party will never consent to au-
thorize any banking to be done with

The Oswego Independent says that
those in Kansas who put their trust
in cattle, generally come out well.
Grass never fails, winters are short,
corn is usually cheap, and the cattle
are fine and fat. While the capabili
ties of the country as a grain and fruit
growing State are being rapidly de-
veloped, yet the cattle business does
not wane, but is OH the increase, and
lie a safe and sure business.
