LAWRENCE, KASsAs, Sept. J. 1877.
EDITOR CHIEr:-On Thursday, August 30, at half
past u p. m, Ex-Gov. Wilson Shannon breathed his
Last breath Of this life, aged seventyve years. The
sad event was not unexpected for he had been con-
fined to his bed for few days. and the rccent oppres-
sive heat and mussy air had tendency tosggra vate
his illness. Fur long time the Governor had been
very feeble in body, and was only able to move about
in s carriage hut his mind has alvaysbeea strong,
md until within two days Of his death, he attended
constantly to his duties a. lawyer He has held many
prominent positions in political life, having been
elected Governor Of Ohio in 1893, and nominated
again for the same Office few years later This time
his opponent was elected by large majority but in
1872 he for second time made Governor of Ohio.
Two years later he received the appointment Of Min
istr to Mexico; and in 1853, was chosen q member
Of Congress from Ohio In the memorable year Of
1855 he appointed by President Pierce the suo-
Of Governor Roeder of the then Territory Of
Kansas From that time he has been practicing his
profession in this city, with brilliant success. His
most remarkable and famous case was that Of the
settlers Of the Osase Coded Lands, which was won
through his influence. He leaves behind him q large
circle Of friends and acquaintance The funeral took
place Sunday afternoon. and was one of the largest
and most impressive ever held in Lawrence. The
was 1T MS iate Ieeiucucc, ahu
was very affecting The profound silence, the casket
almost buried in white roses the weeping family, the
soft, trenulons singing and lastly, the slow meas
ured words Of the officiating clergyman, touched the
hearts and souls Of all the spectators In the process
sion there more than eighty carriages, besides
many footmen. Slowly the cortege wended its way
to Oak Hill Cemetery, and the setting of the sum-
the last solemn rites were performed.
Prof Snow returned from his Western trip loaded
with specimens of all kinds. He started out again,
last week. for the purpose of making observations in
the vicinity Of Pueblo. He seems to never grow IA
tgued of hunting curostes in fact it seems to form
Q part Of his food. -'"-H
Business is beginning to show signs Of Improvement,
and doubtless this fall will be lively than for
many years. The crops are yielding abundantly.
Apples were never 30 cheap and thousands Of bushels
are being shipped Westward; peaches are turning
out far better than the expectations Of the most cx-
travagant castebuilders, and there to be suf
cient for home consumption, and the expectation Of
many hundreds Of cans. On account Of the compara-
lively dow price of corn. and the excessive freight
rates, there is not much shipping of that grain, but
the farmers are hopeful of turn Of events in their
favor soon. CARLOS NOGGs.

We have risen to explain, by your leave, Mr.. Editor,
we will occupy little space in the spicy, able,
and defiant old Chief that visits week from

particular. would like very much to be in Troy this
fall to enjoy, among other things. the abundant fruit
crop which the County is bessed with Fruit is scarce
in Ohio. Vegetables will also be scarce owing to the
dry weather the latter part of the season; will
be considerable less than average crop; wheat
good. The dry weather will prevent large a

ANOTHER ENDORsEMENr.-The following par
agraph we find in several Hayes papem:

egraph We nnd IN several hayes papers:
Hon. A H. Stephens, of Georgia-a thorough going
Democrat for the past twenty years-said few days
ago to o newspsper reporter: "Mr. Hayes is doing
what Mr.. Tilden never could have done. The revolu-
ton Of sentiment in the North il something wonder-
ful think the Inauguration Of Mr.. Hayes equal,
in the good it effected, to the abdcation of James H.
of England and think that events since that tino
have cUsrred to produce great results and prevent
great evils In my opiuiOn, the people Of the South
outside of party should sustain and aid him in his pol
cut loose from party and give the people good govern
ment and pacifcaton and seventenths Of the people

have hand in the Speakers election, but to appeal
to the country on the strength Of his executive

Those Republicans who have felt that the Re.
publican party has been betrayed by the Presi-
dent whom they elected, should take courage
when he is SO heartily endorsed by the Vice Pres.
ident of the Rebel 'Confederacy. ~ told him."
says this Rebel leader-"I told him that he should
cut loose from party" And straightway, at the
command of this Rebel Vice President, Mr. Hayes
cut loose from the Republican party, and has
been emitting, ever since. A man who takes the
advice-or rather obeys the commands of the
Rebel leaders, cannot be wondered at for pro-
hbiting officers Of the Government from taking
active part in behalf of Republican principles
Perhaps Mr.. Stephens or some other Rebel told
him he should do that.

e Among various newspaper improvements,
we hail with especial satisfaction the enlarge
meut and new dress of the Wilson County Cid-
zes-"Johnny" Gilmore's paper. Gilmore is .
printer whose chief pride is his paper, and he
sticks to his business. His paper, whether print
ed on new type or old, is always handsome, and
always interesting. 1t is q genuine paper, not Q
transient concern, waiting for some accident to
give it the cream Of some fat job, then ready to
go somewhere else, but paper that means to
stay, and grow up with the country. Gilmore
is man after our own heart-in fact, We don't
know but that he is u son Of ours, only We don't
think that we have any sons named Gilmore
and we wish him lots of prosperity.

DOESN'T SUIT HM.-Tbe Bslletis still finds
fault with the Commissioners, notwithstanding
their large reduction Of taxes. It says the re-
duction Of Sl.25 on the 800 valuation is in con-
sequence of there being no levy for bond tax,
and not on account of Q reduction of expenses.
We presume if the II per cent. is saved to the
people, it is no matter what it is saved OMIT is
just that much money in their pockets, whsrev-
er it may come from. But it happens that the
bond tax is not the only saving. The reduction
is considerable, besides that. We Published,
last week, an article written by the editor of the
Bmlletis, showing that the County expenses, un-
der the preceding Board, were over $4,000 q
year. He recently published a statement in his
own paper, showing that expenses under the
preasat Board were only $4,000 . year. Now,
if this Board can pay an Indebtedness of 81, 900
or $4,000 created by the old Board, pay off S.
GOO poor farm bonds, and run the County on
$4,000 year less money, IL is doing pretty
we'll. If the Balletin keeps on, it will convince
the people that the best thing they eau do is to
re-elect the present Board.

R~ The Wisconsin Republican Convention
met OH Tuesday, and adopted an unique plat
form. They arc in favor of paci6cation, but
want it to work both ways; they laud the mag
nanimity of President Hayes, and believe him to
be honest, and they demand that the people of
the South fulfill their part of the bargain and sale
by which Hayes was counted in, and Louisiana
turned over 10 the Democrats; they hope that
the Southern policy will prove beneficial to the
country, but if it does not, they demand that
measures be adopted to compel the South to be
civilized and law abiding; and finally, that the
Presidents policy should be neither endorsed nor
condemned until it is seen what he is driving at,
and its effect. We rather like the Wisconsin
platform. We like its hearty endorsement Of
Hayes aud his policy.

HIS DEFENcE.-In reply to our record of his
inconsistency, the editor of the Bsllefim, last
week, filed almost column with extracts from
the Chief, lsuding certain acts Of his on the Re-
publican side. Dearest "Brother," all that was
useless. We found no fault with your Republi-
canism, at times when you were Republican.
Your Republicanism is pretty good, by jerks.
1t was the jerks that We were showing up. We
undertook to show the times when you were
not q Republican, and how you hsd fooled the
Democrats, when they took you up and elected
you.' But if you want to pick ont the spots in
your coat Of many colors, and bold them up a.
the symbols Of your faith, We should have to
pronounce you an orthodox Republican, if you
could only keep those other spots out of view.
BY the way, yon need not have invested S

full files from the beginning, ("gwine on to
twentyone years,") which you can examine
whenever you feel like it. You will find lots of
good material in them for editorials.
