A HAPPY CUUPLE.--A man should
always bca little bigger than his wife,
and II little older, little braver and
little stronger, little wiser and little
more in love with her than she Is with
him.
A woman should always be little
younger, and little prettieI, and little
more considcratc than her husband. He
should bestOw upon her all his worldly
goods, and she should take good care OF
them. He may owe her every care and
tenderness that affection can prompt, but
but recuniary Indebtedness to her will
become burtden. Better live on crust
that he earns than ON " fortune that she
has brought him.
Neither must be jealous, nor give the
other cause Tor jealousy. Neither must
encourage sentimental friendships with
the opposite sex. Perfect confidence in
each other and reticcnce concerning their
mutual affairs, even TO members of their
own families, is first necessity.
A wife should dress herself bucOmeing-
ly whenever she expects to meet her
husbands eye. The mnn should not
grew slovenly, even at home.
Fault'fnding, long arguments or
seedlings, end the happiness that begins
in kisses and lOve-nnking. Sisters and
brothers may quarrel and make up
Lovers are lovers no longer after such
disturbance occurs, and married peoplg
who are not lovers are bound by Icd.hot

A Good Bill Killed.

The defeat of House bill 1872, yester-
day, requiring the strip of territory
which was cut off from Sedgwick ceun-
ty and added to Harvey county, to be
held accountable for its proportion of
bonded Indebtedness entered into
while it was part of Sedgwick coun-
ty, was an injustice which we are 10th
to believe would be perpetrated, even
by the present House.
1t appears that in constructing the
act changing the line between the two
aforesaid counties, the bill provided
for proper division of the indebted
ness, but the title of the bill failed TO
indicate it, and so the Supreme Court
decides that the section is imperative.
The whole question is mere techni-
cality and works great hardship upon
Sedgwick county, especially since the
bonds are for the railroad running from
Newton to Wichita, through the terri
tory which has been transferred to
Harvey county.
Hon. VIM. Baldwin, Representative
from Wichita, had charge of the bill,
and devoted himself most studiously
to it, making it almost exclusively his
work for the session. A large portion
of yesterdays session was devoted to
the bill in committee of the whole, and
when il came to vote il was rejected
-sixty-four members voting against
it--that being majority Of one of the
whole number of Representatives. Mr..
Baldwin deserves much credit at the
hands of his constituents. 1t seems
strange that snide bills should meet
with ready favor while bills such as
this should be ruthlessly slaughtered.

State Funds.

The bill which passed the Senate al
lowing the mouev in the State treas
ury to be deposited in ten different
banks in the State is bad bill and We
hope the House will defeat the propo
sition. We think the State funds are
the safest and most secure in the vault
of the State treasury. The additional
expense contracted by this disposition
of the State funds viii cat up all the
profits realized in interest, and the
risk is too great. In fact, we doubt
whether there are ten banks in the
State that are perfectly safe, in which
any member of the Seuate, as an indi
vidual depositor, would place hi:
money If he had the same amount a:
the State has at times, and feel perfectly
secure in so doing. 1t is a fact that
cannot be denied that the banks that
are sound and can give guilt-edged
security do not want the State funds
to handle, for they have enough OF
their own to handle. In fact, the ave-
nues for their loaning and general
banking business in our young State
are so limited that very often they
find money lying idle in their vaults.
Don't do it, gentlemen, but rather on
force the old law making il criminal
offence for the State Treasurer TO loan
out the State funds.

Our State officers have good thing,
that is, if the decision of Attorney
General Davis is right, and we think
it is. His decision in regard to voting
for constitutional convention was,
that it could not be done until 1880.
because the constitution says such a
vote can only be taken when ''mem-
bers of the Legislature are elected"
The Supreme Court decided in the
case OF Crawford vs. Robinson, that
this meant when both houses are elect
ed. This is in accordance with Mr..
Davis views. Now the wording of
the constitution as TO the election of
State officers is exactly the same as in
regard to voting for "a constitutional
convention, that is, these officers shall
be elected at the time members of the
Legislature are elected. see Art. 1,
Sec. /. constitution. This is another
of those incongruities which have
grown out of the blending amend
ments gotten up to hold biennial ses-
sions. To be sure an amendment to
change the constitution can be sub
mitted in 1878, but it would have to
be voted upon in Move nber, which is
the time set by the constitution for
the election of State officers. The
question is, can there be an election
for officers under constitution which
provides at the date of the election
that there shall be no election.
But on the theory that the Supreme
Court viii decide as the people wish
without regard to the constitutions
suppose the muddle can be got over.
by those who held that it was best to
have biennial sessions, whether the
constitution allowed it or not. The
safest way would be to let the present
officers hold over four years. They
can do that under the clause that they
shall hold their offices until their sue
cessors are eiccted.-CommonWealth.

Oar Next President.

The question as TO who will be the
next President still remains undecid.
ed aud in doubt, owing to the fact
that through the treachery and bad
faith upon the part of the revolutions
lists in the lower House, by studied
and well organized plan of fillibustcr-
ing, they hope TO impede and delay
the count until after the 4th of March,
and in such instance no one will be
declared elected, the President pro
TEN. of the Senate viii have to act.
What will be done in case Hayes is
pettifogged out of it is hard TO deter
mine, but the probabilities are that
the Senate viii elect Morton. of Indi-
ana, or some other man equally as
good, who win be acting President
until one is elected. Dispatches are
going up from all parts of the Nation,
from boards of trade and prominent
political men, regardless of political
shade or belief, asking that the count
be allowed to 90 on. The probabili-
ties, however, are that Mr.. Hayes will
be inaugurated next Monday as Presi-
dent. At any rate we shall have a
new President before the next issue
of the EAGLE. We shall see what we
shall see.

From Topeka.
ToprKA. February 26. ISL.

TOPEKA, February 26, 1877.
DEAR EAGLE Some of you have
/ learned ere this the result of the Scdg-
wick county bond bill in the House.
/ The Harvey, Reno and Butler county
| lobbies had so perverted the minds of
the members from the Justice of our
claim that there was large majority
against US. A strqvg delegation was
here from Wichita, who worked hard
to correct the wrong impressions made
but it was too late. Judge Baldwin
and Mr.. Ross both labored zsalously
and the Judge made q strong plea in
our favor, but the stakes had been set.
Some of our friends are in favor of
having it come up before the Senate,
but others fear it may meet with the
same fate there.
The bin authorizing the city council
to appropriate money for the erection
of reading room at Wichita, has
passed the Senate by unanimous vote
and will no doubt pass the House. So
with all other bills in which Wichita
and Sedgwick county are interested.
Senator Kelly has sent to some of
you, for your consideration, a bill to
abolish The city government OF cities
of the second and third class, which
has passed the Senate.
The Senate has also passed a bill
creating the Office of Land Commits
sioner of the State. This is one of the
most important measures of the ses-
sion. 1t will thousands of dollars 10
the State and viii concentrate the ba-
siness to one point and to one man,
w no will be elected hereafter as other
State officers.
A bill re-apportioning the State for
judicial purposes, and reducing the
number of districts to twelve has
passed the Senate, but this does not
affect our district.
Both houses are hurrying along to
get through, but it is thought an adj
journment cannot be had bafcre
March 9th.
Bishop Simpson is to be here next
Sabbath and will preach before the
Legislature, as requested by them.
Then he will go to Wichita to preside
at the session of the South Kansas
Conference.
When the Legislature adjourns your
correspondent expects to visit you
home.
The Kansas Pacific Railroad has ten
dered the Legislature an excursion TO
Denver and the mountains. at its close,
but the Senate has requested that the
trip be delayed until August, next.
This perhaps viii be concurred in by
the House and accepted by the rail-
road. More anon,

The Albany LaU Journal nominates
as successor to Judge Davis of the
United States Supreme Court, Judge
John F. Dillon, Of the Eighth United
States circuit. 1t says:
1.-The judicial ability displayed by
Judge Dillon, both upon the State
and Federal bench, gives assurance
that he would reflect honor upon the
highest National tribunal. While it
has been to some degree the habit of
late years to bestow the positions on
the Supreme bench upon those not
holding judicial Office, we trust that
the eminent fitness of the gentleman
alluded to will secure an adherence to
the safer rule of selecting for the high
est judgeships only those who have
had experience in the performance of
official duties"
The people of Kansas would be
pleased to have Judge Dillon on the
Supreme bench of the United States
but for one thing. They do not wish
to have him leave this circuit Com.

made,

The following is portion of the ed
itorial in the Capital, by Don Piatt,
which caused the Cabinet, the other
day, TO take the matter into consider
alton:
If man [Hayes1 thus returned to
power can ride in safety from the ex-
ecutive mansion to the Capitol TO be
inaugurated, we are fitted for the
slavery that will follow the Inaugural
ton. We do not believe the people of
the United States are of this servile
sort. We do not believe that they are
prepared, without blow, to part
with their hard-earned, blood-stained
possessions. Notice is now served on
the citizens of Louisiana and South
Carolina that they must care for them
selves. How soon lamp posts will
bear fruit is for them to say. To the
people of the north and west notice is
given that bondholders and monopo-
lies may fatten securely, that shrink
age of valises is now in order. If there
is law for fraud, there is reason for Vi
olencc, and to that we make our last
appeal.
1t clearly means to advise that Hayes
be assassinated before he gets to
Washington.

For the Eagle.
Sedgwick and Harvey County Bonds.

EDITOR EAGLE Tho people OF
Sedgwick county had right to ex-
pect that the present Legislature
would devise some means by which
they would be relieved of paying the
debts of Harvey county. If L. B.
Murdoch and were doing business in
the name of 7. B. Murdoch, and we
should dissolve partnership by mutual
consent, and | should receive for my
share of the partnership stock more
than one-half and leave Mr.. Murdoch
to pay 100000 of the firms debts, TAX
ing advantage of some technicality in
law to justify my action, Mr. Murdoch
would conclude that Farmer Doolit-
tie was very dishonest and not deserv-
ing the confidence of honest men. Yet
that is what Harvey county is doing,
and Senator Murdoch is using every
ingenuity of his mind, and using his
influence to aid Harvey county. Aid
ing Harvey county in the consumma-
ton of a fraud. Many of Senator
Murdock's constituents in Butler
county defend their Senator on the
ground that the Wichita Beacon tried
to defeat his election by publishing
reports that Mr.. Murdoch had pledged
to Wichita i'll this matter, the object
being to turn The vote of Harvey
county against him. And now they
John Kelly few times, to convince
Sedgwick county that their Senator is
not so easily bought. Then the tax
payers of Sedgwick county are to be
held responsible for what newspa-
per, published in their county, may
please to say, notwithstanding they
never believed the assertion but re-
garded it as political trick. Because
man is slandered by reporting that
he has pledged to do thing that is
right for selfish consideration does
not justify him in doing wrong If
81, anu INV VI tbC dpiO
at Topeka were being tried for MUIR
der, and some paper should publish
that the jury had been packed and
were paid to acQuit the defendant
they would be justifiablc in convicting
the Senator of murder, in Justification
of themselves, Notwithstanding the
evidence showed conclusiyely that he
was innocent. If our Representative
and Senator are not successful in their
efforts to give us justice Sedgwick
county will, nevertheless, greatly re-
member them. The Legislature prob
ably understands that the issuance of
those bonds was the consummation of
a contract. The basis of that contract
was the losses existing at the time
they were issued. They may now re-
peal chapter 142 laws Of 1878, or any
other chapter and the contract re-
mains just the same. The people of
Scdgwick county, remembering that
External vigilance is the price OF lib
erty," intend TO fight that bond ques-
tion in the Legislature this year and |
next, and the next until they get JUS
tice, which they will eventually OBJ
tain by persuading Harvey county
that she ought to help pay them, that
is, provided ''truth is mighty and will
prevail" And it's my private opin-
ion it will. FARMER DooLITTLE.
