The instruction which has broken
out in Gambia, the ancient Crete, is
likely still further TO embarrass the
operations of the Turks. The Candi-
ans reyolted about twelve years ago,
and gave the Porte vast amount OF
trouble to subdue them. nor were
the finally snbjugated until they had
been almost exterminated. They have
probably lost none of their courage,
and the %, 1000 or 10000 fighting men
among them will make thinks very
lively for the Ottomans.

The Springfield Republican, gener.
ally very strong for the President, has
this TO say of Wharton's appointment;
"Wharton was an old rebel, but has
been Republican since the war, and
belonged to Warmoth's gang of pollt-
ical operators and revolutionists,
which had given him a somewhat un'
savory reputation. He is probably no
worse a man than Pitkin; but we fear
he isn't much better, and his appoint
ment represent the supposed exigen-
cies of party politics rather than the
principles of civil service reform"

1t is said that Senator Conkling,
who was in Washington some days
lately, procured his passport for Eu-
rope through subordinates of the
State Department, as his relations
with Evarts precluded personal inter-
course with that gentleman. During
his stay there it is said by his init
mate friends that he did not call at
the White House, nor did he meet the
President, and further, that he alb
stained entirely from recommends
tons in behalf of persons who seek
Presidential favors, leaving himself
free to oppose or support the Presi-

For the EAGLE.
Tha. Railroad Expense Question and Other
Matters.
ATTICA. June 20. 1877.


DEAR EAGLE In your issue OF
June 14th | find letter from my old
friend. William Lyman, who seems to
be in trouble about that so 81 re-
ceived" from the county for expenses
in attending railroad meetings, etc.
Now l fully sympathise with Mr.. H.,
for | am in trouble about the same
thing. But my trouble arises from
"not receiving"it. II was believed by
every reasonable person with whom
conversed on the subject that the
Commissioners should and would pay
the expense of attending these meet
ings. fully believed they would. l
now believe they should do so, as the
Commissioners of other counties have
done so.
l deem it proper TO add 4 few words
of explanation in addition to what the
EAGLE has truthfully said upon this
matter, for l desire every tax payer
and business man in the county to
know the facts iii this case. | hired a
team and carriage to take railroad
men to the Augusta meeting, also to
the Eldorado meeting. Was from
home five days and expended about
twenty dollars in cash. attended
the railroad meeting at Fort Scott, that
required five days time and an ex-
pense of about forty-six dollars in
money, and believed in SO doing l was
fairly and honestly representing the
best interests of Sedgwick county in
one of the grandest and most profit
able enterprises ever offered to our
county, But, let this be as it may, |
have attended the meetings and paid
my own bills i'll every case. shall
continue to do so as long rs there is
reasonable hope of securing an east
and west outlet for the immense pro-
ducts of our valley.
Mr.. Levy, and very properly too,
was appointed by the city to attend
these meetings. OF course the city
paid his bills. No reasonable man
could object. If an enterprise of any
kind is of general benefit to county
and city and other localities likely to
receive the benefit of said enterprise,
if we fail to act promptly, what are
we going to do? Sit down like a set
of drones and suck our fingers :? No,
sir; we cannot afford to do any such
thing. Sedgwick county and the city
of Wichita, in point of enterprise and
business, stand first of all the counties
and cities in the State. How was this
brought about? BY judicious ex-
penditurc of money when and where
it was absolutely necessary. There
fore | say to my friend Lyman and to
our Honorable Commissioners that
when and wherever | can do Sedg-
wick county any good in any public
enterprise of substantial benefit to the
county and city, | shall continue to do
so at my own expense, and insist up
on all the county funds being careful
ly guarded in order to secure beyond
doubt the payment of the mileage and
per diem of our Honorable Board of
Commissioners, for whom, indivldu-
ally and collectively, have the high
est regard, for they are looking day
and night after the interests of Sedg-
wick county, and, of course, they
must be paid.
Your obedient servant,
JOHN KELLY.
