Fair Stcck---Still q Chance.

ED. EAGLE:-I have just learned
that in distributing throughout the
county, some seven weeks since, lists
designed to receive the names of SUBJ
scribers for fair-stock, the township
of Grant was entirely overlooked.
This, of course, was unintentional.
and am sorry that some of our friends
up there did not draw our attention
to the fact Immediately, through the
EAGLE, or otherwise, and we would
have been more than glad to set the
matter right. There is yet fair-stock
to be had for $500 per share by calling
upon Secretary Stem, and we would
like to see the stirring farmers Of
Grant procuring an interest in it.

Morton's Oregon Speech.


The werds of leader of men, such
as the great Morton, at time when
parties and principles have been jum-
bled beyond understanding, are
watched and read with interest, not
to say anxiety. One of the last
speeches made by Senator Morton af-
ter finishing the Grover investigation
aud before the attack of paralysis
which he had on his way home, was a
speech to the Republicans of Oregon,
full of the accustomed ring. lie holds
that the Democratic party has acquired
a solid south by ways that will not
stand the scrutiny of justice or law,
aud that there is need of solid north
to ward of the dangers that may be
expected TO result from a southern
restoration. lie believes the south is
willing TO give the north the offices
provided they NAV have the measures
Those measures consist of the demand
that will certainly be made for a re-
payment % the losses incurred during
the war; He says the south "wouid
not now touch Mr.. Tilden with a for
ty-foot pole" on account of his letter
in opposition to these claims. He
then thus declared the course of the
north:
want to say in conclusion, that the
harmony and preservation of the Re-
publican party is indispensable to the
prosperity and safety of the Union.
This is now more SO than it ever was
before. There is q solid south against
us. How long it will last do not
know, but understand this is the stu
alton to-day, aud that the south eX-
pect to WELD the sentiment as one
voice in the approaching political con-
test. Ii is Important, therefore, that
the north should stand together; that
you should stand together in the
great struggle, that we shall not lose
all that we have won. We must pre-
serve the constitutional amendments;
we must preserve the fruits OF the
war; all our interests, both Democrats
and Republicans, are alike. The
south-we have forgiven them. They
cost half million of lives and six
thousand millions of dollars by their
crimes. There is scarcely family in
all this land in which there is not a
vacant chair. But we forgave them
ali that. All we ask is that they shall
be good citizens. We claim the right
to go there, live and have our own
opinions, and access to every privilege
that we give them when they come
here. With that we will be satisfied,
and with nothing else.

The Presidents Wind-up at Brattleboro

Windsor, W., Aug. l9.-The Pre>i-
dent aud family drove in from West
Brattleboro and reached the railroad
station at nine o. clock. People had
gathered in considerable numbers to
greet HIM, and when he appeared up
on the platform of Governor Smiths
private car, men, women and children
pressed forward and were awarded an
audience and shake of the hand Mrs.
Hayes stood at the entrance to the
car and shared in the greeting with
the President.
While waiting for the train to start,
the President addressed the assembly
who listened TO his remarks with the
closest attention. He spoke as follow ::

The st. Louis 81 Kansas Central
Railroad, which is being engineered
by the Simpson-Hutchinson outfit, is
in bad box. The bonds voted in Ne
osho and Wilson counties to this road
are illegal and void. In two townships
of the first named county temporary
injunctions were granted against the
issuance of the bonds. Some ten DAYS
ago proceedings were had before
Judge Talcott, for the purpose of dis
solving the injunctions.
From the Wilson County Citizen we
learn that in the case of Chetopa town
ship, "the court refused to dissolve on
the ground that, first, no petition was
presented to the County Commission
ers to call the election; second, the
County Commissioners did not order
the election: third, sufficient notice of
the election was not given. The fore
going embraces in substance the rea-
sons of the court for overruling the
motion. Judge Talcott decides that
every part of the proceeding pertain
ing to calling the election was illegal ;
that the township officers or neither
of them have any authority to call
such elections that the power is vest
ed only in the County Commissioners
upon two-fifths petition and upon
longer notice than was given in the
case referred to-"
This decision covers all the cases in
both counties, and the bonds voted to
the road this season are worthless-

The Price Of Wheat.

We see that the clears" are raiding
on the wheat market. Prices have re-
coded three cents bushcl in the last
two days, and the prospect is that it
will 90 still lower. One factor of the
problem has not been regarded as it
should be in the west. The east has
had enormous crops of all the grain.
Such crop has never been known
east Of the Alleghanies, and instead
of buying wheat and other grain from
the west, we will probably have a
good deal to export ourselves. For
instance, in the,neighborhood of New
York, on Lond Island, once great
wheat growing region, but where the
cultivation of that grain was given up
on account of the weevil, wheat plant
ing has been tried again with excellent
results. Indeed, there was time
when Long Island was the great wheat
field of the country. This, of course.
was in our early history. Wheat and

The Lieutenant Governship.

Commonwealth, on the 18th, discusses
at length the question of vacancy III
the office of Lieutenant Governor, oc-
casioned by the resignation of Mr..
Salter. lie taxes the ground that Col.
Carpenter is the legal successor of Mr..
Salter, and that the Governor has no
authority to fill the vacancy. The
closing paragraphs of his letter are as
follows:
| am satisfied that the resignation Of
Lieutenant Governor Salter does NOT
work an interregnum in the office Of
President of the Senate, BIZ. that it
works an absence which places Col.
Carpenter, the present President pro
tempore of that body, in his stead to
the full extent of making him Presi-
dent of the Senate, successor to the
office of Governor in case of the death
or disability of the incumbent of that
office.

How It Works.

When the recent gauge Rail-
road Convention was holding it's ses-
sion in this city and lavish subscrip-
tons were promised by gentlemen
who might have been much more Law
ish without its costing them any thing
We forbore to criticise, because we saw
little promise that any of the delegates
would be called upon to make good
their subscriptions. If there is need
of any further warning against at
tcmpts to secure local subsidies for
railroads. it comes from Kansas, here,
instead Of holding conventions to sub
scribe bonds for narrOw-gauge rail-
roads, they are holding conventions to
try if they cannot evade payment of
the bonds already issued. We trust
that none of the gentlemen who APP

Railroad Convention are taking any

Double Murder and Lynch Law in Atohison
County.

On Sunday evening, at O'Clock, Bill
Scruggs, worthless fellow living near
Oak Hills, in Atchison county, shot
and instantly killed Mr.. j. Oliphant,
an old and prominent citizen. Three
years ago Scruggs eloped with and
married a daughter of Oliphant. He
abused her shamefully, and she left
him sometime since, returning to her
fathers house, where she has since
lived. On Sunday evening Scruggs
went to ELEPHANTS house and asked to
see his wife. Oliphant refused to adj
init him, when Scruggs drew pisto
and fired, the ball striking Oliphant
IN the right breast, which terminated
sis life in very short time. Scru.gs

soon overtaken by party of four men
who wanted to arrest him. Scrugg>

Scruggs was druken, quarrelsome,

one of the United States census takers
