The Credit TO Send Him.

From a letter of correspondent in
Washington who gives the doings of
the last hours of Congress, and what
is to follow, we clip the following
touching the Matthews committee !:
'The Matthews committee of the SEN
ate will probably also remain here for
some time, aud there is no doubt but
that they will be able to easily over
come any points presented by the
Greasers. The Senate committee is
an excellent one, and can speak con-
fidently for one member of it, that
nothing in their investigation, which
will in any degree exhibit the corrup-
ton and fraud displayed in the late
Presidential election in the Southern
States by the Democratic party, will
escape his notice, but will receive the
stamp of fraud which has branded the
character of that party throughout
the entire country. The gentleman i
refer to is john j. Ingalls,. Of Kansas,

Hon. John Kelly Candidate for Lieutenant
Governor

From many letters received from all
parts of the State, Hon. John Kelly,
State Senator from this district and
President of the State Board of Agri-
culture, has consented that his name
should go before the Republican State
Convention for the position of Lieu
tenant Governor. Mr.. Kelly is too
well known TO our readers to make
any favorable notice from us at all
necessary. For months he has hesita-
ted TO comply with the urgent request
of his friends TO submit his name, but
a note from him, received too late for
publication last week, says that he
will enter the contest.
Mr.. Kelly is practical farmer and
practical man, and all duties of what
ever character, whether upon the floor
OF the Senate or upon the threshing
floor, whether as President of the
State Board of Agriculture or presid
ing at grange, are discharged with
honor to his people and creditaDle as
to himself. If the position should be
conceded to this portion OF the State,
we can assure the Republican party
that il viii never have cause to regret
his nomination and election.

from this district, seconded by the
delegation, during the closing hours
of Congress, succeeded in obtaining
an appropriation of $4,000, with
which to commence the erection of a
Government building at Topeka, on
ground purchased by the Government
some time since for that purpose. The
building is 10 cost 100000, and is for
the accommodation of the United

New York, June 22.-Hon. Henry

Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, i'll which he
says:
You know and know that Mr.. Til

of us believing it the emanation of our
chief. have charged, and do charge
that your failure to deal frankly with
US on that occasion, your failure to
tell US what Mr.. TildeI had said to
you the day after, was practical sup
preston of his more sagacious coun-
sci, and to all extents q betrayal of
your friends. Now, | repeat and de-
clare my charge of personal dishonor
upon you, and as you don't wish to

will make you this proposition: You

us were members, and l will select
two; the four shall select fifth, and
if | do not make NV charges good l
will make you public apology.

TERRIBLE RAIN AND FLOOD.
Two Children and Ono Man Drowned.

Last week we gave something Of the
great flood in the Walnut valley. The
Arkansas City Traveller contains the
following:
Last Tuesday and Wednesday a very
heavy rain fell, swelling the streams
to an impossible extent, and carrying
off saw logs, wood, wheat and growing
corn along their banks. The abutment
of the bridge across the Walnut south
of Winfield is said TO be so badly
washed that the bridge will fall, and
water surrounded the approach of the
bridge at Newman's mill for more
than a day. Mr.. Bell, the owner of
some sheep, near Parks school house,
was drowned in Badger creek while
attempting to cross, and the house of
Mr.. Frue, was washed away, and two
children drowned, while he was max
ing every effort save his wife. DR..
Hollands house was surrounded by
water and the occupants compelled to
remain inside twenty-four hours be-
fore rescued. The Arkansas river rose
four feet above the bridge pilings at
this place, and carried hundreds OF
bushels of wheat, in the shock down
the stream. From all parts of the
country we learn of its destruction to
men, beasts and the grain in the fields.
In Pleasant Valley township horse
belonging TO Mr.. Lucas was struck
dead by lightning, and hundreds of
hogs, young chickens and ducks
drowned. The damage to the country
will be severely felt.

Tom in Barbour County.

Representative Ryan has laid this
particular section OF the country un-
der obligations for the promptness of
his action in securing increased mail
facilities, adeTute to the wants of the
people of the southwest. The matter
of mail facilities in a new country is
one of almost paramount Importance,
and in fact is about the only particular
service demanded of Representative
To this matter Mr.. Ryan has given his
almost undivided attention, and the
people of bis district will scarcely be
able to overlook and count as naught
his most valuable endeavors.
Mr.. Ryan is man of ability and has
the advantage of one terms experience
in congressional life. The value of this
experience to new and rapidly set
Ting country like ours, is incalculable.
To say that the country has been
ably represented by him would be a
tame recognition of his services, for
his labors to accomplish the wishes of
his constituents in an almost hopeless
minority have been herculean. The
people of this section will, we think,
be clamorous for his return, as to hon.
or him will be the best interest of the
district.-Bdr6Oar County MGit.

Below we give few comments of
the press on tho Congressional fight.
1t will be seen that even the Florence
Herald and Peabody Gazette, both in
Marion county, which was the home
of Peters until quite recently, are not
in favor of his nomination, and init
mate that such result would not ben
eft the District at large. Waving all
question as to which Is the more capa-
Bile man, Hon. Thos. Ryan, or Judge
Peters, there is one objection TO max
ing Peters Congressman, which with
US is insurmountable, and that is that
he now holds judicial office. The
18th section of article three of our
State constitution makes all judges in
eligible to any position Of profit or
trust, either State or national, and
while it fixes no penalty for viola
ton of this provision Of the constitu-
ton, and hence aspiring politicians
can disregard it with impunity, it is
nevertheless as binding upon the con-
sciences Of men who seek to preserve
the purity and integrity of our insti-
tutions, rather than their own person.
al ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, as though the law
fixed penalty for its violation. This
provision of our constitution, with its
others, is the result OF mature DELHI
Grafton, profound thought aud careful
research. 1t was discussed in conven-
ton and submitted to the people and
finally adopted to keep pure and I'M
defiled the judiciary of our State, and
prevent its ermines, spotless in theory,
from being dipped in the cess pool of
politics. All politicians haye their
jobs, their games of cunning, their
tricks of legerdemain, their plots and
counterplots. Such things are utter
ly Incompatible with the purity of the
judiciary, and the judge who seeks to
make his position stcpping-stone to
political eminence, dishonors alike,
himself, his judgship, and his constit-
uency. We need some repose in this
judicial district. The judgeship should
not be made school in which to edu-
cate and prepare men for the political
arena. 1t is place that should be
filled by lawyers, content with its
honors, and not by young politicians
en- route for Congress. 1t seems that
in this judicial district, or soon as
man ascends to the woOlsack, he i'm
mediately commences to cast about
for political friends, electioneering on
the bench and off the bench, making
political capital of every event that
arises, with his eye on Congaess as his
final goal. We have had enough of
this. Let us return Hon. Thos. Ryan
to Congress, and give Judge Peters no
more terms Of judicial office that he
may run for Congress two years hence,
without violating provision of our
organic law. Let politicians fill polit-
ical positions, and let the judicial Of
fees of the State be filed by lawyers
who take pride in their profession,
and are not FESTIVE under its quiet
nonors. 1t is only in this way that
we can have repose in our district, and
a just and fearless exposition of the
law in our judicial tribunals.

kirkpatrick saved his wheat though
it was cut green and bound in large
bundles. 1t was cut before the last
rains. He took the shocks apart, set
the sheavcs up two and two, chad to
perform this operation twice. and af-
ter dry reshocked. Then before he
threshed every sheaf was laid out sep
arate until thoroughly dry. Every
day for eight days the old man could
be seen wading through water, part of
the the time boot deep, never stopping
for rain, wet from morning till night,
trying to save his wheat, which he
did, shipping car load of it in good
condition from your place Saturday
night. Competent judges said it was
not injured in the least by wet. AT
ter it was run through the elevator it
was graded No. 2. and he was offered
80 cents per bushel. He threshed the
product of Is 1-2 acres, which averag-
ed him 26 bushels to the acre. The
balance Of the field will average him 80
bushels, il not more. He had small
army engaged while the threshing was
going on. We counted thirteen teams
hauling to and from the machine. The
wheat was cut with dropper, and
cut low, consequently, as the straw
came from the machine it took num-
Der of men to stack it. AT one time
there were niue men arduously engag-
ed in getting rid of it, which they
failed 10 do. Finally the tenth man
came along, who was none other than
Uncle Billy Greiffenstein, the Mayor
of Wichita, who pulled his coat off
and went to work with a will. Wish
ing TO lend some aid in getting the job
completed, and having a curiosity to
see how much wheat Butler and Bell
could thresh with thier machine in
given time, it was agreed by all hands
that if the teams had been able to keep
the thresher in wheat that they would
have threshed five hundred bushels
that afternoon. Butler & Bell have
the boss machine.

Don't Cenfound the Labor Movement With
Communism.

We should distinguish very clearly
between the genuine communistic agi
tation, which is purely misehievous
and destructive but comparatively inn
potent, and those political movements
which have for their object the redress
of the supposed wrcng of the labor
ing class. Communists, as rule, are
not working men, but violent fanatics
aiming at the subversion of society,
and at once the enemies of labor aud
capital. The disturbance of existing
relations, the overthrow. of restraints
and safeguards. and the confusion of
the whole industrial and social fabric
would be as disastrous to the working
class as to any other, aud most of them
know it and have no desire to contrib
ute to such "hurly burly innovation"
