For the Eagle.
Payne Township Items.

Mr.. EDITOR Thinking that few
items from this part of Kris kringle's
dominions might, perhaps, be read
with interest by some of the many
farmers in Sedgwick county. Those
that have sowu oats and barley III this
locality still seems to be in fine
growing condition as yet.
About one week ago there was quite
number of young grasshoppers out
summing themselves, but did not seem
to be very anxious about taking hold
of the fall wheat and other small grain
from some cause or other From some
unaccouutable reason, | cannot tell
why, don't believe the festive cuss is
going to bother themselves with The
high lands this season. We are in
formed that they have taken field after
field out on the Whitewater, ten miles
east of here, as well as out west. Quite
storm of rain aud hail, accompanied
by a strong wind, passed over these
parts on the evening of the 10th, and
ever since that time the boppers seem
to have been in dormant state, as we
have not seen them on the move since
that time.It is to be hoped that the
rain and hail have destroyed countless
millions Of them and sent them TO
their happy hunting grounds, Che
devil.)
Several of the farmers are planting
corn, and others are getting ready as
fast as the weather will permit, and
teams can turn up the soil.
James, son of john and Amanda
Gregory, died on the 10Th of April.
DR.. Owens pronounced it the dropsy.
He was buried on the following day,
in Benton Cemetery. Butler county,
where The last sad rites were perform
ed.
Our life is never at 4 stand,
Ills like the fading flower,
Death, which is always near at hand,
Comes nearer every hour.
The Greenwich school is again in
session in school district No. 16, I'M
der the supervision of Miss Lizzie
Fox.
The prairie rooster and the cooling
dove are here, cooling to their mates,
and the meadow lark and other birds
make US happy by whistling songs OF
spring and happier days to come.

THE SOLID SOUTH.
How the South was soIidiied and How IL 10 TO
be Kept In that Condiiion-The Negroes Not
20 be Killed Unless from Political Necessity
Letter from a Former MinnesotiaB-


Wachita, La, Oct. 10, 1877.--A
friend sent me copy OF your paper
dated September, 25, the presidents
Progress, editorial, marked. | was
formerly citizen of Minnesota for
several years. Since 1871 / have
been a citizen Of Louisiana, where |
have bought land, bullt thereon and
improved it. During the FIVE years
of my residence here have had the
best opportunities to learn the real
| character and purpose of the South.
The impression seems 10 prevail in
some parts of the North that the
Southerners have, in times past, shot,
killed, and otherwise outraged me-
groes, prompted by mere wanton cru,
city. This is utterly untrue. The
bloody crimes of which you have
heard, were deliberately committed
for fixed purpose, viz, to regain po-
litical control of the several States. 1t
is but doing them simple justice to
say that they seldom did more than
was absolutely necessary to accom-
pllSh their OBJECT.
All intelligent Southerners under
stand the value Of the negro as Ia
borer, and they do not destroy him
needlessly. They were willing TO do
whatever was necessary to overcome
the Republican majorities and elect
their own men, but they also wished
to keep the colored people here that
they might profit by their labor. I'm.
der Democratic rule the negroes NOM
inally free, are in fact serfs, whose la
Dor will enrich the old master class.
When the Democrats have carried the
election and obtained complete politi.
cal control of q State, the killing of
negroes and all other outrages form
| erly committed to intimidatc colored
Republican voters cease at once. Civ
ilized people do not continue to kill
after the victory is won and the en-
envy is captured. President Hayes,
at Atlanta, spoke Of the peacefulness
of Georgia during the last six months.
Has it not been peaceful ever since
that State was redeemed in 1872 !?
Now that all the States of the South
are redeemed there will be peace ex-
cept in those localities where Repub-
llcans may venture to reorganize aud
attempt to carry their county or dis
trict. In such cases the old method
of SURPRISING a Radical majority
will be employed, if necessary. But
this will seldom happen. With all
the offices filled by Democrats, and
all the election machinery in their
own hands, there will be little difficult
ty in carrying every election peace
fully, as Tweed used to do in New
York. Henceforth there will be a
solid South in congress aud the elect
oral college.
