DEAR SR:-Having noticed, in the Chicf. some
items relating to NJ. A. Wilson, do not deem it
necessary that he should be endorsed by Baptsts
Campbellites, in order to he Christian, preach
er of Bible truths. We had the opportunity of ma
king his acquaintance, and Of hearing him deliver
several discourses Gospel truths, in Doniphan;
and if We may deem ourselves or in any sense be
deemedby Others discerner of Gospel truth, far
as We heard him, We compelled to say that he
preached it in its purity. 1t is true, could have
desired that NJ. A. Wilson, stranger and preach
er of the Gospel among should have been able to
have given references to his good citizenship
and good moral character and this We should have
received as readily from a good sensible merchant,
or County Clerk, SQUIRE from his own locality,
as from Baptist Association, Campbellite Elder,
a Methodist Conference As far as We saw of him.
his conduct was that of Christian and a gentleman
and his doctrine, Tor Ear as we heard him preach)
was as became the Oracles of God. wM. KIRBY.

THE Hour AHp THE MAN.-When the hour ar
rived, the man was wanting. Jay Gould spoke
understandingly, when he said he would have
given q million of dollars to have had Grant in
Hayes place, when the strike commenced.
Grant would have compreheuded the situation
at once, and would have acted promptly, and
nipped the insurrec.ion in the bod. Bat when
Hayes VAS called upon, he wss thrown off his
pins, and uttsrly untitled fsr any practical use.
The Governor of West Virgins, forgetting tho
evils of Federal troops in State, called upon
tho President for help. He was not sars that he
had any authority to comply. He had not got
South Carolina and Louisiana out Of his head,
and imagined that the call for protection was
from Southern Republicans; but he soon found
out that j. was Democratic Governor who was
calling, and gave orders for showing out the
troops. He continued to send them, in such
scattering, bungling way, they rarely arrived
where they were wanted in time to do any good.
In Coopcr's novel, fThe Wept Of Wish ton
wish," is prominent character, Mark Heath
cote, rigid old Puritan, who was continually
resorting to prayer, a way out of any difficult
ty. No matter how great or small the emergen-
cy, or if it was no real emergency at all, prayer
WAS us only means OF meeting IT, hayesy ou
this occasion, found his only relief in Cabinet
meetings. He regularly held at least three meet
ings day, and on the receipt Of every despatch
calling for help, he would call extra meetings.
Where Grant would have been effectively at
work, with all his wits about him, Hayes falter-
ed, and doubted, and called Cabinet councils.
The great wonder is that he did not think Of
sending commissions to the scenes Of riot, to in
vestigate and compromise!
Bnt what better can We expect Of a man who,
according to the confession of his most intimate
friends, depends upon his luck to carry him
through every tight place, and who has the ut
most confidence that everything will come out
all right, if he chances to see the new moon over
his right shoulder If he saw the last new moon
over his right shoulder, it could not be other
wise than right if the whole country was at the
mercy of the mob.
In contemplating the humiliation and mortifi-
cation that have come upon the country from
this man, there is one ray of consolation-they
beat Blaine!

y We sc it stated in an exchange, that Hon.
James Pollard, of Iowa, is raising a colony to
to settle and organize one of the new Counties in
Southwestern Kansas. We would call his at
tention to Comanche County. We believe it is
vacant now, and subject to re-settlement He
will find two or three school districts on Mule
Creek already organized, and bonds issued for
building school houses. All he will have to do,
will be to put inhabitants in the district, and
build the school houses. Liberal provision has
also been made in the way of County bonds.
County Commissioners, Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, and school officers, have already
been chosen, and hold themselves in readiness
to take charge of their Offices as soon as the pop
uatiou arrives.

TThere are little drawback connected with
such gags as the onein operation in Leavenworth,
of issuing Democratic paper from the Times Of
fee in order to give the Times Democratic aid and
sympathy. In transferring matter from one
paper to the other, it sometimes happens that a
red-hot Republican editorial appears in the Dem
ocratic Commercial, which makes it necessary
for the latter to apologize to its Democratic rea-
ders for the blunder. We can't see that single
point has been made by this experiment.

the plan has advantages, the disadvantages
greatly overbalance them. patent-outside

matter; it beget, careleseness; and the paper is
regarded as a sort of supplement for city es-

II Henry Ward Beecher delivered a sermon
on the strikes, in which he made the assertion
that men who cannot live on bread, are not it to
live. This man, who ekes ont miserable xst-
ence on 81, 900 year, thinks that poor families
can live and be happy on bread and water. We
are not informed whether he took for his text
the clause of Scripture which says that "man
cannot live on bread alone"

While all our leading politicians are being called

day. We should be glad to hear from our worthy and
distinguished Congressman, Col. Phillips. The peo-
pie of his District know him ready writer; one
that is said he foremost in the discussion of nation

who has been looked to leader of Radical senti-
ment, more than to the Congressman from this Dis
triet.-1roy Bulletin, June ,

force last FALL and the Republicans of this Congress

n Ohio will not go back on Hayes. He has
been endorsed at home. The Democratic State

be ashamed of themselves, when even the De-

dorado Times, has his side Of the story, in that
matter of pension for blindness He has been
the subject of good many hard rubs over this
business and at length has been prevailed upon
to come forward. He says that he is blind in
one eye, from disease contracted in the army,
with great danger of losing the sight of the
other eye; that he furnished good proof of
these facts, when lie applied for the pension !;
and that the investigation, which the Secretary
of the Interior has caused to be made, has con-
frmed all these facts. The pension to which he
is entitled, is SIS per month, instead of $50. We
did not believe that he would perpetrate so
gross frand as he was charged with. Even if
he had been so disposed, he has sense enough to
know that the swindle would be found out
