~ Five families arrived here lately
from Southern California, and have
been stopping at the New England
Hotel. In conversation with one Of
the men belonging to the party yester-
day. he stated that they had been farm
ing for several years in that section.
and that the dry seasons and the high
rents they had to pay for land made 1t
almost impossible to make living
there. and lie says the land in Southern
California is nearly all covered with
Spanish grants, and it is an impossible
lily to buy, and the title is question
able. These families are here for the
purpose of settling in onr country
where there is plenty of room.

Kansas Finances.

The report OF the State Auditor of
Kansas, now printed, shows a very
healthy condition financially in our
sister State. The total amount of the
bonded Indebtedness of the State is
only Sl.235,975. OF these $6lO,955 are
owned by the school fund, so that half
the interest paid goes directly to the
support of the schools-or pulling out
of some one pocket and putting into
the other. Then $l19,475 is owned BY
the sinking fund, SO that the taxes paid
upon the amount goes to the gradual
extinction of the State debt. This
shows that nearly four-sixths of the
taxes paid upon the bonded debt of the
State goes to the benefit of the people
of the Siate-or that the interest on
$4,000 is kept at home, and only that
on 100000 goes out of the State.
We have not the time to-day to go
into other figures. but in all respects
the showing is very satisfactory. The
one thing that strikes us so favorably
above all others is this plan of paying
interest to itself, which the State of
Kansas has adopted. 1t really, then,
don't make SO difference as to the debt
for the money remains at home.
Then, the small amount of the debt,
for State with half million of pop
ulation, will attract the attention of
immigration almost equally with her
unrivaled SOIL fine climate and genor-
al elements of wealth But then Kan
sas is almost unanimously Republican.

The Tonaka Conmonwealthls

Personal mention department this
winter is metropolitan par excellence,
a perfect mirror of the political pool
of INDECENT froth that is annually
worked off by the people and sent
seething and blubbering into the dark
and winding recesses of the Teff't
House, faithful focal lens delineating
the name, personal qualifications, pre-
eminent fitness and uudonbted claims
of the thousand atomites importuning
for an official crack into which to settle
their ambitions, The last days of last
week witnessed this eager horde, re-
enforced by an army of dead heads
hailing from every county seat in the
State, weak-voiced and suppliant,
wearing out the patience and tearing
out the button holes of that other
crowd which differs from the first only
in the boast of a cheap honor and its
claims TO per diem.
Consulting the CommoRUedlth'S col
umns up to Sunday morning last, we
find an average of nineteen candidates
for every position in the gift of the
Legislature, each candidate being
backed up by the presence of from
three TO twenty influential q friends,
to say nothing OF the innumerable cam
didates for State Printer and the Uni
ted States Senate, and their regiments
of followers. The Commonwealth in
Inmates that never in the history of the
State has Topeka been so crowded, and
we believe it. BY Yesterday noon no
doubt the jam eased up in the depart
ure of few thousand sad-eyed and
disconsolate patriots, cursing the in
gratitude of Republics as they went,
but their warm tracks will be more
than filed by swarms of curb-stone
statesmen who imagine that in their
absence the effort to choose man to
fill Senator Harvev's place would
prove abortive or disastrous TO the in
terest of the State and Nation.
1t may be true that all the wisdom of
the State is annually concentrated at
Topeka, but it is equally true that its
aggregation is sadly diluted with a
large per cent. of insanity.

An Eloquent Address.

Our readers will find in this issue a
copy of short speech delivered in the
Senate few days ago by Hon. John j.
ingalls,, Senator from Kansas, which
we regard as one of the Senator's most
brilliant efforts. The State of Massa-
chusetts presented to the Nation, stat
ues of John Winthrop and Samuel Adj
ans; the presentation addresses were
delivered by the Senators from Massa
chusetts, and Senator ingalls,, of this
State, had the honor of being selected
by the Senate TO respond, on behalf of
the United States. The Grafton of Mr..
ingalls, was worthy of the occasion, and
one which, for the purity of its Eng
fish, and the elegance of its diction,
will rank as the equal of the best pro-
auctions of modern times.

However that may be the Cincinnati
Gazette represents Judge Mackey, of
South Carolina, as saying that he will
go home with such report of Gov
ernor Hayes as will set the people
wild for him. lie takes with him such
a favorable impression of the Govern
or's fairness, honesty, patriotism, and
frmness that he feels sure he can
start a feeling in mis- favor that will
widen and will tell.

A Scandal in High Life.

James Gordon Bennett, junior, pro-
prietor Of the New York Herald, was
bounced last Thursday by young
man named May, a brother of the
young lady to whom Bennett was ell
gagged to be married. 1t seems that
Bennett has at least twice set the day
for their marriage, and each time,
through within or from the effects OF
drink, failed to come to time, TO the
disappointment of the young lady and
scandal of the family. Early last week,
while Bennett was at the home of his
intended, high words occurred be-
tween her father and himself. Rich
ard May, her brother, on returning
home and learning Of the matter, way
laid Bennett at his club rooms and
cowhided him, or something TO that
purpose. 1t is said that a duel is to
be the result, and the New York dali
lies are filled with speculations.

For the EAGLE.
Murder of Richard Wanamaker in tho Indian
Territory.

DARLINGTON, |. r., Dec. 81, 1876.
EDITOR EAGLE:-I have the honor
to inform you that Frank B. Kilborne
and wife and three children, and Mon
roe Keplinger, en- route from Medicine
Lodge, Kansas, to Texas, reported at
this Office on the 2Sth Of last month
(Noyember) and reported as follows:
That they, in company with Richard
Wanamaker and a young man giving
his name as "Dick" Simpson, LETT
Medicine Lodge on or about Novem-
Der l1th, travelling south through the
Territory in the direction of the
Cheyenne and Arrapahoe Agency.
r. Manamaker was the owner of a
herd of horses and ponies, and f. B.
Kilborne was the owner of a wagon
and harness. Before leaving Medicine
Lodge it was agreed between Mana
maker and Kilborne that one was to
furnish the team and the other the
wagon and harness, and they would
make the trip through the Territory
together. Monroe Keplinger and
"Dick" Simpson were employed by
Manamakcr to assist in driving his
herd through.
Every thing went on smoothly until
the evening of November oath. They
went into camp on the Big Tur-
key, about forty-five miles north from
this agency, and about four miles
west from the cattle trail and wagon
road leading from this agency to Cald-
well, Kansas. About dark on said
evening Mr.. Wanamakcr, in company
with Simpson and Keplinner, left camp
and proceeded down said Turkey
creek in search of wild turkeys for
meat, as was their usual practice, leav-
ing Kilborne and his family in camp.
Proceeding a short distance down the
creek keplinger passed to the west
side of the creek, leaving Wanamaker
ana Simpson on the east side. Wanna
maker and Simpson each carried a
shot gun and Keplinger Winchester
rifle. Proceeding some distance down
the creek Keplinger says he heard one
shot fired on the opposite side and
thought he heard a turkey fall from
tree. Soon after, and farther down |
the creek, he heard two more shots |
fired from shot gun in quick success
sion. After some time had elapsed,
and hearing nothing further from
Wanamaker and Simpson, Keplinger
started back to camp, and before
reaching camp joined Simpson, who
him that he (Simpson) had
''got away with the old man" (Wana-
maker), and insisted on Keplinger
joining him in a hasty retreat to the
OF Texas, which proposition
was not accepted, and the two went
on into camp. Kilborne and his wife
made inquiry about the old man Man
lmaker and Simpson replied that he
guessed he was lost.
1t is further stated by Keplinger
hat "Dick" kept such close eye OH
him that he could catch no opportuni-

IF the old man Matchmaker until after
Simpson had left camp. Some time
after midnight Simpson saddled one

ng to Manamaker) and left the party.

The Burned Mails.

There is now no doubt in the minds
of the postal officials in this city that
the entire mail which was due here last
Saturday morning was burned in the
railway disaster at Ashtabula. What
the actual loss in letter pouches is, can.
not be given to the public at present.
Mr.. Thompson, chief head clerk of the
Michigan Southern Railway Post Office
line, is now making every effort to find
out how many bags were burned, and
the Chicago post office has written to
the Superintendent of Railway Service
in New York to find out whether any
New York and foreign mail intended
for Chicago city was on the train. 1t
is believed that there was no New
York mail sent by the Southern Road
at that time, las it is generally conveyed
by the Pennsylvania Railway. The
mail came from New England, the
country contiguous to the line of road,
and the cities located on the road. The
mail was a large one.-Chicayo Inter-

Cronin and Tilden's Barrel.

Cronin, the Oregon patriot, while
before the Congressional Committee
under oath, acknowledged that he was
for long time opposed to becoming a
tool in the Oregon trick, but that for
the sum of $4,000 he agreed to accept
the commission and go to Washington.
The 5000 was paid him on check
upon Tilden's bankers, SO the reports
say, in three drafts. He further says
in his testimony that he understood
that large sum of money was raised
and sent to his State. Cronin was a
hero among the Democrats at Wash
ington until he gave in his evidence,
and now they cannot conceal their in
dignation-he was q hero yesterday,

Southern Sentiment,

The surprising development of love
for the constitution and the old flag at
the south, at this time, reminds the
Burlington Hawkeye of Artemus
Wards experience with the Union
sentiment which he found so general
when he went TO Richmond after the
capitulation. He wrote from the ex-
rebel capital:
There is rally great deal of Union
sentiment in this city. | see it OH

Governor Anthony's Inauguration.

The newly elected Governor of Kan
sas was inauguraied with great eclat
at the State House at three O'Clock on
Monday afternoon. The ceremony
was witnessed by hundreds--the hall
of the House Of Representatives being
crowded with prominent men from all
parts of the State. Gov. Osborn made
a very happy address in turning over
the executive affairs of the State to the
hands of Gov. Anthony-in the cor
Quoting aud controlling of which in the
past four years, he has not only done
himself honor but been an honor to
the State. Gev. Anthony's address
was comprehensive and timely.
At the ball at the Opera House given
in honor of the occasion, Hon. John
Martin, the Democratic candidate for
the same position, introduced Govern
or Anthony to the thousands who
pressed forward for that honor.
All is we'll
