Thursday, and the new manager, W. ".
Nevin, duly installed. A number of dis
tinguished Philadelphia journalists gather

ton from the pen of Col. Forney.
Col. Forney dwelt upon the associations
OF his newspaper work, but made no eXpla-

pRESEuNING TIiEPEACE.

"Mack," OF tie GLoLe Democrat, writing
from Washington, gives the following Incl
dent which occurred at the White House
during the threatening times CT last winter.
1t will help the reader to understand why
the expected rebellion" didn't come off:
My informant had occasion 10 call on
Grant, at the time when Virginia was threat
ening Democratic invasion OF the capital.
This subject was broached. Grant was seat
ed in his armchair, with his heels on an ad-
joining table. He simply said between two
whiffs of his cigar, as if he were speaking OF
an expected shower of rain, or an expected
visit from an office-seeker, "If they come
here 10 make fuss, I'm afraid they won't all
get back j don't want TO hurt any body, but
am going 10 preserve the peace in this Dis
trict.r The forts were all manned at that
time, and Grant spoke with the unconcern
of a man who knew just what was going TO
happen If the worst came TO :he worst.

CANDIDATES.

Referring to the withdrawal OF State Sen
ator Woodin, from the canvass in New
York, the Philadelphia Fiess says:
The withdrawal of Senator William L.
woodin from the canvass in the Twenty
fifth district of New York Is Difference to
public opinion that other politicians of tar
nished reputation would do well to follow. If
Tweed is to be believed, he was one of his
paid retainers in the Senate of New York,
and a willing instrument Of his corrupt
schemes. Personally popular, and Of
conspicuous ability, he has been
borne down by load OF suspicion, if not by
evidences of direct criminality. II is time
that the Republican party should purge itself
of such a class of men, and that its candidates
should be worthy Of its principles, and the
confidence OF the community The time is
past when il can safely eBtrust its honors
aud championship TO leaders of questionable
lives and character, and whose sole aim is
personal aggrandiZement.
They do it differently in Kansas. Here,
when a questionable candidate through
questionable means, secures a nomination
he prefers to cheek it through" and take
the whole ticket down with him to defeat.

NRE(:E OE X AIRS

The siege of kars, which seems now to b,
invested by The Russians, bids fair to be ex
citing, though it may be protracted. The
place is very strong, and, unless the Turks
have been greatly demoralized by their late
defeat, they will defend it with great obsti
macy. In 1855 the Russians invested the
place on the 18th of June, were severely re-
pulsed in an assault made in the following
December, and only succeeded in capturing
the city in November, through the starved
condition OF the garrison. This history
may not repeat itself, but there is little like,
lihood of a quick surrender.

THE BUTTER MAKERS.

Chicago is making extensive preparations
for grand exhibition of American and
Canadian dairy products, to be held in De
cember. Prizes in money, amounting to
several thousand dollars, will be given for
the best butter, cheese, dairy implements,
cooperage, architectural designs of cheese
factory and dairy buildings, cattle barnsQ
etc. Invitations viii be extended to all
dairy organizations. 4 little attention
given to this line OF business in Kansas
might have good effect, for il is lament
able fact that while we have one of the best
grazing countries in the world, good butter
is the exception with us, rather than the
rule And there is no good reason why this
should be so.

THE COTTON CROP.

The cotton report for this year makes a
very favorable showing, and indicates an
average nearly equal TO that of last year
Ii is Sl.1 against S2.7 last year, and IS the
year before. The decline in condition dur
ing September is less this year than last.
Georgia and Tennessee make the same aver
age as in September of last year, North Car
olina higher, and all other States lower,
though Arkansas declines only one per
cent. Picking has gone on rapidly in the
more western states, but has been retarded
upon the Atlantic coast since the middle OF
September by unfavorable weather.

rEECaPTIWED NEZPEvCES.

The Administration has decided upon a
temporary plan for taking care OF the cap
tured Nez Perces Indians. For the present
they will be quartered in some civilized
portion of the country, under guard OF
soldiers, there to remain during the winter,
leaving more permanent arrangements to be
perfected in the spring. General Sheridan
has been instructed to have them re-
moved from the temporary post
on Tongue river 10 Yankton
or Bismarck, in Dakota, where
supplies can be furnished at a comparative
ly moderate cost. The choice Of location is
left with General Sheridan. who is said to
favor Iankton. Secretary McCrary, OF the
War Department, is credited with the
opinion that the Government should treat
hese Indians as lenicnily as possible, be-
cause OF their fair and honorable behavior
before the recent outbreak, and their evil
lied treatment of the dead and prisoners,
who fell into their hands during the recent
campaign.

ton in holding aloof from the Democratic
caucns, to which he would seem most nat
