OBITUARY.

DIED-On the 25th instant. DAISY Nc
CRANE, aged years, months and 5 days.
Providence has ordered that little chill
dren should die as we'll as those whose
stops are shortened by tho weight Of years !;
yet, it is hard, indeed. to learn to accept
with resignation tho death Of those little
ones who have silently taken possession OF
the heart by their beauty OF person and
dawning intellectual powers. Painful to
all persons is the death of a sweet little
child; but moro than painful to those
bound to it's young life by ties of blood.
That little DAISY will bloom a fairer flower
in Heaven, furnishes not yet consolation
enough for her loss, while the sting Of
sorrow is painful.
Little DAISY was quito favorito with all
who knew her. Her diminutive form, her
Intelligent face was always pleasant to
those who loved to look upon little chill
dren. And now that she has gone to Him
who said, 'Suf3er little children to como I'M
to me-" her bright eyes and expressive tea
nres have been frequently before us. Those
who mourn her loss the deepest will find
additional consolation in the thought that
their little DAISY has been spared many
trials, many Eriefs which would have been
hers had she remained longer on EARTH
May her pure soul rest In leace.-C1aioo,3.e

Col. Lee G'andaU.
Dear Sir-I am this day informed
that you have sent circulars to such
chartered Grecnback clubs as you can
obtain the addresses OF, informing such
clubs that your committee has levied
a tax Of fifty cents on each club, and
also that you desire the clubs to send
their charters to you for revision.
The impudence Of you thieves at
Washington is something beyond the
comprehension of men who are honest,
but nothing new to those who under
stand your tricks OF trade.
BY what authority do you or your
Congressional committee propose to
levy tax upon chartered Grcenbacl<
clubs, any more than upon churches
and the different society organizations
of the country?
By what authority do you ask that
clubs send charters to you for revision?
I thank you, however, for thus Offer
ing me an opportunity to notify all the
chartered clubs i'll the United States of
your attempt to swindle them by this
means, and your further attempt to
obtain from them their charters. This
Is not the first instance where rogues
and rascals have over-reached them
selves.
Publication of your very contempti-
bic trick will be made In the Green
back papers of the country, that the
people may be warned of you and
against all such mean, contemplate,
underhand tricks that are so readily
engaged in by those who have no
principle.
Respectfully, thine for right,

THE KANSAS EXODUS.

Correspondence Of st. Louis Republican,
SAL1NA, KS, July "a, ls79.-In the
Republican Of the 22d inst. noticed a
very sensible article under the head of
fKansas and the Exodus" The black
ball, as you term it, is not easily
stopped, Notwithstanding tho general
disposition of the people to that end.
should say that the feeling is univer-
sal against it, but the mischief has
already been done. The mistake was
made i'll the beginning in lending any
encouragement whatever to the
scheme. Kansas is a red-hot Republi-
can State, and when the cry of the
sspoor oppressed negro'' was raised,
patriotism ran up to fever heat. No.
body ever thought of looking into tho
matter to see what the facts in the case
really were the whole story Of their
wrongs and suflerings were taken for
granted.
Well, the exodus was gotten under
way, the negro was marched out and
headed for kansas, while our people,
or those in authority, looked on APP
provingly. There should be no more
privation, no more bulldozing; he
should be settled in land where the
ballot was free, and where Republic
canisln reigns supreme. They arrived
nOAS ~ 4s&oS ~ AS<ASG SOkAC "a lnCl1l
some OF them returned, too, strange as
it may seem, and some are here yet,
and Others on the way. Perhaps the
appearance of the yellow fever i'm
Memphis will be the cause Of many
more leaving their Southern homes to
journey in the same direction. But
how is it with Kansas to-day, the
" land of the free and the home OF the
brave?" There has either been a
change in the sable dream or there has
been q Misrepresentation. 1t is just
possible, however, that the mistake is
becoming apparent. 1t is suddenly
discovered that Kansas does not want
the negro--that is, not at present. We
sympathize with you've love you, in
short; but you had better stay where
you are for the present. There has
been blunder; somebody is response
bic for it; who, will not say and
the sspoor oppressed negro' has suffered
the consequences. He cannot come
now, for the reason that he may bring
yellow foyer, they say. Yes, he may
bring yellow fever, or he may not one
thing, however, he will bring, and
that is poverty. He will not be able
to make his own living, and must
| therefore perish unless charitable aid
is furnished.
There are good subjects for charity
in Kansas, in the western part of the
State, owing to the failure of crops
| We will have our hands full in looking
after the white population, to say
nothing OF all the colored paupers III
the country. a dozen towns in the
State have already refused them shell
ter, and will! continue to do so. They
should be kept at home. Being igno.
rant, they had right to expect homes
here from the stories told them. The
mistake is not theirs, and it is simply
an outrage to impose on them witt,
emigration schemes like this exodus

MONROE ENERGETIC MERCHANTS

Editor Telegraph:
1 noticed an interesting article in
your issue Of July 25th headed CEN
ergy in Merchants" which appears to
me rather an attack on merchants,
Permit me, therefore, to say Il few
words in reply. You charge the MGR
chants of Monroe with lethargy and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. you were in need
OF some articles which you could not
find in any house in town. This may
have been OF some disappointment to
you, Captain, but you are certainly un-
just in attacking the merchants in gem
eral. 1t would be we'll to know what
articles you wanted and where you
have looked for them, for you cannot
reasonably expect to find geese feathers
In drug store, nor a cooking stove in
millinery establishment, as you surely
do not expect to find everything COM
bincG i'll one house. Monroe is above
any other place of its size where you
find but general stores, containing
everything needed for country sup
plies. The stores here are mostly
speclalties, that is, goods Of one char
acter or one line. We have most COM
FANSS ~AS%6 oIOASo1 AoAuNtaXC3 AISC-CltaSS
grocery houses, respectable clothing
store, millineries, bakeries, and es-
pecially A No. l dry goods establish
ments. The latter have certainly not
the appearance of barn, prison or
wood shed, for they are really elegant,
we'll stocked and well conducted-and
the merchants always ready, even with
q sacrifice, to look to the wants of the
community. A most reliable merchant
tells me that he has quite capital in
vested in certain line of goods, which
does not pay him the interest of the
money invested-but he has a call now
and then for the article, and merely to
accommodate the public he keeps ii in
stock. In short, the merchants of
Monroe leave nothing uvetione to Gre
ate business, aud their activity and
enterprise deserves good patronage.
Yours, most friendly,
GAS
