The new Narrow Gauge Rail-
road proposition is attracting much
interest. The farmers, especially,
who haYc suffered more than any
other ciass, from the consequences
of the pooling combination which
has existed between the two roads
here, ere thoroughly awakened, and
are taking hold of the matter In
saYnest. The petitions 10 the Coun-
ty Beard to submit the proposition,
were put out the latter part of lAst
week, and have, we learn, already
the requisite two-thirds Of the legal
voters. They are still open for sig-
natures, though, and IL Is hoped ev-
cry oBe who fAyors the proposition
will enroll their names, As 1t 10 de-
aired that there shall be no doubt
aboat the matter. The petition we
have seen contains the names OF q
large number of the most substan-
tiat farmers 1t IL believed that
with . third road here, that = good
deal more than the additional tax
which il will cost, could have been
sAVe1 on the grain shipped out both
thia year and last. Every man car
fgure the additional tax fer himself
and can see that Il will be but tri.
ne. Now, the only question to con
slider in connection with the prep
osition is will it pay the people &c
vote the 100000 asked for. The
part ofthe proposition which locatsI
the general Office and machine shops
here, meets with great favor, as Il
w0ald give US substantial growth
Altogether 1t Is the best railroad

The proposition for a Narrow
Gauge read from Kansas City to
the southwest, by way of this city,
seems to meet with general favOr
wherever it IL presented and dis
cuased.
In this county the farmers, who
are principally benefited BY cheap
freights, are holding meetings on
their own account, and are heartily
endorsing the proposition. They
knew very well that the products Of
their farms must support the rail.
roads, and that every dollar unne-
cessarily paid for freights, Is just
so much deducted from the price Of
their products.
Ia Butler county the people seem
to have given up tho idea Of .
branch road which will not and

and manifest a disposition 10 all
take hold heartily ola propositions
which will greatly benefit the whole
county.

Trouble IN Texas.

A fracas Of formidable proportions,
which also derives additional Importance
from the somewhat critical condition Of
the relations Of our government with
that Of Mexico, has been going on in Ell
Paso county, Texas, during the present
week. The disturbance grew out Of the
attempt of company to collect tolls
from parties gathering salt from de-
post which has been heretofore COM
mon property and open to all corners,
aggravated by the murder Of promi-
nent citizen of the county, named Cor
dova, by one Howard, the agent of the
company. These were the aggravating
causes, and when Gov. Hubbard sent a
squad of State militia to San Elizario
to enforce the orders of local JUS
tice, the citizens, mostly of Mexican
birth, opposed the militia, and mob Of
several hundred strong beleaguered them
in house. Severe fighting ensued, in
which several were killed on both sides.
The Governor telegraphed to the Presi-
dent for troops, which were ordered to
repair to the scene of conflict from forts
in New Mexico, but before they arrived
the State troops, their ammunition being
exhausted, were compelled to surrender
to the mob. After the surrender, How
ard and two others were shot dead by
the Mexicans.
The fact that the mob was composed
of Mexicans by birth, though citizens of
Texas, has led to apprehensions that it
might embroil the two governments in
war, but the authorities at Washington
profess to have no fears of such re-
sult.

The Presidents Attitude.

The following from the special Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Herald, doubtless correctly represents
President Hayes feelings and sentiments
regarding the differences between him
self and the Republican Senators
There is certainly nothing belligerant in
his talk below quoted, and as to the log
ical soundness of his position, and Of
his conception of the respective duties
Of the Senate and the Executive, we
would like to see somebody try to con-
trovert it. The correspondence is dated
the 10th, and the extract is as follows:
Several Senators, among them Sena-
tor Christiancy, have been for some
time increasingly uneasy at the growing
fracture in the Republican party, and
have been busy in the last forty eight
hours in efforts to heal the differences
between the President and Senator
Conkling. They do not meet with much
success. The President says to them
that he is not at war with anybody; that
he is doing his duty as the Constitution
requires; that he has no ill-feeling tow
ard Mr.. Conkling, or any other Senator,
and that if Mr.. Conkling will call and
see him at the White House he will be
glad to see him and talk with him.
That as to the New York nominations
he thinks it necessary for the public
good to put the Custom House under
different management; that he selected,
as he thought, good men to take the
places of Messrs. Arthur and Cornell,
and that he is sorry and somewhat dis
appointed that the Senate did not think
them good enough, but that he will try
again after the recess. His duty, he
says, is to select and nominate men who,
in his judgment, are fit and capable for
the places they are to fill. There his
duty ends. 1t belongs to the Senate to
sit in judgment upon his selections and
if it does not agree with him, that is a
matter which he cannot help, and which,
disagreeable as it may be, he cannot and
ought not to seek to influence in any
way. AS to his having any quarrel with
any Senator on this account, he says to
Senators that it is absurd. He does his
duty and he takes it for granted they
will do theirs. He is far from imputing
wrong motives to any one, and it is the
sworn duty of all to do what is best for
the country

Our readers will remember that near
ly year ago Judge Hayes, at Il session
of the District Court in Clinton county,
set aside the verdict of jury because
one of the jurors had INDUCED in a
drink of liquor during the progress of
the trial before retiring to the jury
room to consider the verdict. Hereto
fore this has been considered sufficient
reason for setting aside the verdict of a
jury or Of obtaining new trial. But
recently the Supreme Court, upon an
appeal of such case, declared that the
drinking of intoxicating liquors by mem
bers of the jury between the adjourn
ment of court before the close of the
trial, and before the jury retire to de-
liberate on the verdict, provided there
is no direct testimony showing that the
jurors were thereby incapacitated from
the proper discharge of their duty, does
not invalidate the verdict NaqNoketa

The New Orleans Democrat COM
plains that "a puritanical wave has re-
Gently passed over Louisiana" The
cause for this querulous complaint is
that a number of towns in the State
have been carried by the prohibitionists,
and dozen or more parishes have taken
measures to enforce proper respect for,
and observance of the Sabbath; threat
ening New Orleans, as the Democrat
says, with moral and Christian Sun
day" Now, as these reforms could not
have emanated from the Democratic
party, we claim that the above facts are
presumptive evidence at least that the
Republican party of Louisiana is not
dead or sleeping. What do our impla-
cable friends think of it?
