TWe0sV Years.

WHITE CLOUD, KANSAS, April 7th, 1877.
KIND FELLow-CIrIzExs:-It has been to my satis-
faction to visit through sister State owa and in
my travels, have included portions of Iowa where
tho grasshoppers have never been and strange ~
it may seem to many of you, though true, times
harder there than in Doniphan County. And do you
not know that Eastern Iowa il fed from Kansas pro-
ducts You 60 into Monroe, Lucas Decatur, Union,
and other Counties Of Iowa, and you will find hun
drods Of sacks of -four of Kansas manufacture while
the greater part Of the potatoes and wheat, and .
large amount of other vegetation that these good
pie live on, are shipped from Kansas This il whore
the grasshoppcrs have never been. The question
may be asked: Why is it that the people Of these
Counties in Iowa do not raise good cropsf The rea-
is this the soil il not good that of Kansss
and for the last two years, there has been much
wet weather. they could not raise much crops; and
account of other unfavorable circumstances Iowa
does not raise good crops Kansas. Il is said
that experience teaches dear school, but fools will
learn in no other. thought, would 60 where the
grasshoppers have never been, that times would be
better but fnd that when persons leave Kansas to
find . better place, they return better satisfied to
stay than they were to leave However this is my
perience and think 1t il the resnlt Of every ones
perience that experiments the same thing. Reader
do you not know that if you have seat in Kansas,
you sitting in of the best States in the Union
You certainly And while you thinking of the
great calanitss that Kansas is undergoing from the
effects Of grasshoppers, chinchbugs, and other
ges, please remember that 1t 10 the work Of Omnpo-
tencs and not the cause Of poor SOIL that the people
Of Kansas do not raise good crops. Citizens Of Kan
sas You have good . soil, if not bettsr than any
other people of America Rest with this assurance.
With strong faith in God, look forward for better
times. Keep stiff upper Lip, and you will come out

domestic infelicity," which newspaper re-
porters credit with playing such IN important
part in lfes drama, 10 often the result Of linger
ing or chronic disease. What husband or wife
can be cheerful, smiling, and pleasant, when con-
stantly suffering from the tortures Of some dread
diseased Perhaps the husbands liver becomes
torpid, and he experiences bitter, disagreeable
with great heat and dryness of the surface Of his
body, pain in his sides, shoulders, or back, eyes
and skin are tinged with yellow, feels dull, in

becomes gloomy, despondent, and exceedingly ir-

ny wise aud pound foolish" man he will attempt
to economise by saving the small cost Of these

CORRESPONDENCE.
oUR BONDED IHDkDrRDNkss.

EDITOR KANSAS CHIEF:-In your last paper, you say
there is increasing feeling among the people of Don
iphan County, the subject of bonded indebted
ness for railroads. l won't undertake to psspose
remedy but will say there several cities and COun
ties in the West trying to refund 0utst.nding bonded
indebssdness at rate much below the face valne Of
the bonds md believe some kiAd Of action to this
end Wi become gsneral where saeh cities and Coun-
ties have created debts beyond their ability to pay
think Doniphan County has good cause to pro
pose Q compromise with the holders Of her bonds, II
not repudiate them entirely. Our bonds sold
the present holders at from forty to sixty cents
the doarmany of them at forty, and some, perhaps,
at thirty five The present market value is probably
sixty cents.
Agitation and discussion Of this question may bring
about some result that will be very beneficial even
the fact of the validity Of the bonds being established
would be some satisfaction. ~
- These bonds we're not only Parshassd ct heavy
discount but with depreciatsd currency, worth
about half what it 10 now, and during period when
speculation was rife and business prosperous through
ont the country,
1t was thought that our gift of 900 to these rail-
roads would be returned to hundred fold, in the
way Of increase in values and Of population; but such
10 not the case, and We find ourselves burdened with
heavy debt and heavy taxes that it is almost il not
quite, beyond our ability to pay.
The County of Lafayette, in Missouri, few years
ago, compromised its bonded Indebtedness At great
discount and Galloway County voted the other day,
on proposition to pay about ffty-fve cents on the
dollar.
The City of Atchison has made proposition to
fund its outstanding bonds at about fifty cents while
Montgomery County prepsses 70 pay sixty-ave.
Lcavenworth and Dsaglas Counties win probably
succeed in reducing their heavy ndebtednsss in some
manner, effort having been made at the Last Legis-
lature.
Doniphan County has paid, in interest alone, over
s2OO0oO and paid it promptly, at the rate Of $sooo
year. Very soon an additional $4,000 year for sink
ing fund will have to be raised-n ALL $4sO00 year.
There arc many who believe our bonds to have been
Illegally voted and issued yet notwithstanding this
doubt of their legality, the County has acted in good
| faith, in paying the interest % promptly
Considering all the circumstances we have al
ready paid in interest more than 50 per cent of the
face of the bonds, which is about their cost to the
holders-the legality of their issue-the depressed
condition Of all business of the Countythe shrnkage
in values of all property, and the increase in val
of the bonds-and for other that might be
enumerated would not proposition to refund at 50
or GO cents be just to all partiesl ia. B.

SOUTH CARoLINA.-Gov. Chamberlain and the
Republican State officers have yielded their plac-
e. to the rebels. Chamberlain issues an address
to the Republicans of the State, which is one of
the best things We have ever seen. He tells
truths which must pierce the President to the
quick at every thrust. He tells of the fidelity
and sacrifices of the Republicans of South Caro-
lina, in the face Of danger and death, standing
trus to Republican principles, and by their votes
securing the election of President who embrac-
- the first opportunity to bind them and deliver
them to their enemies. Without the vote of
South Carolina, Hayes would have been hope
lessly defeated, snd he now kicks over tho lad
der BY which he sscended. The bargain and
ssis by Matthews and Foster has been confirmed
by the Administration. We shall publish this
address, In our next issue.

Republicans from voting for Judge Otis, was
that in case political questions should arise, he
would rule and decide against the Republicans;

Electoral count has since been held mp - an evil
deuce Of the great danger We are exposed to.
We'll, Judge Otis has at last had political ques-
tion 70 pass upon. In the Atchison City election,
last week, the Democratic candidate was returned
asslectsd City Attorney, but the Republican candi-
date claimed an error in the count, and demanded

grant the new count, but the Democratic candi-
date applied to Judge Otis for an injunction to
prevent it, - being unauthorized BY law. The
Judge denied the injunction.
