DIR. Swayne & Son-Gentlemen About two

Ths Prssidsnt's Dissypeirlnrnt.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The Presi-
dent has expressed his disappointment
at the action of the Democrats in fore
ing party lines to be drawn in the
Senate. In conversation with gen
tleman on Saturday, he stated that he
had hoped that nothing would arise
in Congress this session 10 provoke
party or sectional animosities, and
was tho more disappointed because it
had been commenced by the Demo-
Gratis, and by the very men who have
been so prefuse in their professions
of peace to him. From what was in
timated by the President, it was un-
derstood that he had been SO affected
by the proceedings of last week that
the Senate Republicans will not be
required 10 send any more caucus
committees to him. In conversation
with two cabinet officers, your cor
respondent learned that the Intentions
OF the President toward the Demo-
cratic party, and his opinion of the
beneficial results of his pacification
policy, were undergoing q rapid
change Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Eldorado Coal Hole.

EDITOR EAGLE Having had occa-
sion late last week to take a trip to
Eldorado, on my return paid h fly
ing visit to the coal shaft that sis be-
ing put down in that vicinity. Had
heard a good many conflicting rumors
in regard to the matter, and desired,
if possible, 20 satisfy my own mind.
1t is situated about six miles south
west of that place, near the summit
of the bluff of small creek-one of
the branches of Walnut. | found
matters in some respects in o greater
state of forwardness than | had antic
ipated. There is store and post Of
flee already, and it is designed soon to
lay out town. Name of the post Of
fee, Oil City. In regard TO the actu
ality Of coal, il is impossible at this
time to assert positively that it exists
there, but from all the evidence
could gather while there, and from
conversations had with all the per-
sons connected with it, do not en-
terrain the least doubt that it is there
in large quantities and excellent quail
ity. The five-inch hole that was first
started down TO look for oil is still be-
ing pushed down, and another some
what smaller, is being bored about
twelve or fifteen feet to the north
This is being done by the skeptics in
side and outside the company, TO sat
isfy their own doubts about the ex-
istence of coal there. Meantime the
proprietor has just begun to sink
shaft six feet by ten. it is about six
feet down into the rock and when |
arrived on the ground | found him
busily engaged, with others, in it. A
large derrick has been erected and
powerful horsepower is used to ope-
rate the drill. Parties wishing to Wis
it the place, to satisfy their doubts,
will fiud the proprietor, Mr.. DeVcre,
aud all connected with him, affable
and gentlemaniy, and ready at all
times TO give all the evidence or ex-
plantations in their power.
Respectfully, VERTTAs.

From Ex-Gov. Osborn.

The Atchison Champions Washing
ton correspondent says: "a recent
letter from Gov. Osborn, written al
Santiago, says he thinks he shall like
the country very well The times are
hard and money scarce. Business has
been overdone and serious reverses
have been experienced there as well as
in this country-with this difference,
that our people are better qualified 10
retrieve their losses and establish
themselves anew. When the Govern
or wrote, October 9th, spring was just
opened and strawberries were in
bloom. The fruit of the country is
very fine, except perhaps apples, and
the climate more nearly resembles that
Of Southern California than any other
part OF North America"

United States Marshal for Kansas.

II is intimated IN political circles
that Charley Miller will lose the Mar
shalship; that grave charges have been
preferred which, under Hayes civil
service rules, will compel him to step
down and out. Upon the other hand
a correspondent of the ST. Louis Jour
nal says that Judge Dillon has written
a strong letter TO the President asking
his retention. The same correspon-
dent says she is the best United States
Marshal that ever was appointed for
Kansas, having been wisely selected
for his business capacity, solely. He
is not prominent in politics, in fact
never has been politician"
The Topeka Commonwealth, last
week, said: Whether we consider his
case in the light of civil service reform
or politically, we can't see why an ef-
fort should be made 10 get him out of
his place That be has made and is
making a good officer ali agree. lie is
in the middle of his term and is en,i-
tied under civil service rules, Or any
other that can be named, TO hold his
office for the time for which he was
appointed"
There are several applicants for the
place, among them Sidney Clarke who
is now in Washington.

Pattcrson's Defense.


In voting for the admission of Ham
burg Massacre Butler TO the United
States Senate, Mr.. Patterson thought
it necessary to make speech in de-
Tense of his action. This, briefly, is
Mr.. Patterson's plea: The President
has turned the State of South Caro-
lima over TO Hampton and the Demo
cratic Legislature, thereby deciding
That the latter were legally elected and
entitled to rule. The transfer places
tie Republicans of that State at the
mercy of the Democrats, and that
they cannot longer continue the fight
without endangcring everything.
They beg Mr.. Patterson to abandon
resistance, as the government has
abandoned it, and not, by his opposi-
ton, infiame the men upon whom the
safety of their lives and property de-
ponds. Thus appealed.to, Mr.. Patter-
son Yields.

REFLECTIONS. SAD AND OTHERWISE.
By an Old Reader in the Western Part of the
County.

Why is it that the Russian war does
not advance the price of pork and
beof in this country? Because that
country is supposed TO have fowl
stomach and nothing short of "Tur-
key will satisfy it.
We have the best evidence III the
world that President Hayes is single
man. He went last fall to visit Mrs.
Sippie and Louisa Anna, and to look
especially after them and his Southern
Polly See.
An eastern gentleman remarked the
other day in our presence, that the
business, energy and snap of onr
State was traceable directly to the
uncommon wealth OF our people.
Modesty forbade it or we should have
corrected this mistake. 1t is the daily

Horace Greeley: Educate and lead the
masses of men in the right direction.
Your sincere friend,
j. b. MINTURN.
The speech above alluded to was
made against the repeal of the re-
sumption act. OF course it suits
Gould, the owner of the Tribune, and
all the Wall street gamblers. The
speech is too long for our columns.
Garfield tells in it that France needs
more currency than America. He
says the distress in England was not
due to resumption but to the corn
laws. lie argued that the creditors Of
the Nation are the poor men, and that
resumption does not mean contraction.
Dir. Minturn says, in his rising indig-
nation, that he would like to go for
Woodman's article. He has our con-
sent. AS TO his roc populi intimation
the Doctor is mistaken. We are for
the truth aud the best interests of our
country, as a whole, which does not
mean Wall street, nor yet the Arkan
sas Valley, altogether. ED. EAGLE.

In compliance with the above call

encouragement of the numerous en-
terprising and intelligent readers Of

add that from Information gathered
from real estate agents and others
having opportunities to know, the
ratio Of emigration from this part of

of every ten are going to Kansas,
while two-tenths are bound for Texas
and the remainder go in about equal
numbers to Nebraska and Iowa.
