The senior editor of the HERALD reached
home from the Ohio Editorial Excursion
to the far West on Tuesday evening, af-
ter an absence of three weeks. Our visit
to the various cities of the West, and to
the Rocky Mountains, was one of great
pleasure, and we are sure will be remem-
bered by all the brethren of the Associa-
tion with pleasure, and grateful hearts to
the President of our Association, Mr.
Mack, the accomplished editor of the
Sandusky City Register, and we are con-
fident that every one of our party will
unite with us in extending our heartfelt
thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. Mack for their
kindness through the entire journey. We
feel confident that the Association could
not have chosen a more competent and
obliging conductor for the expedition than

SHERMAN HOUSE, CHICAGO, Lit
July ?, 1879.
Our excursion began to separate at
Manatou; some remaining over one, and
some two days. Myself, with several 9TH
ers left ManatOu on Saturday afternoon,
and returned to Denver by the Denver
and Rio Grande narrow-gauge railroad.
At Denver 1 met Henry Snyder, George
Long and John Robinson. George Long
is quite indisposed, and at that time una
BILE to work he has been engaged in paint
ing. Snyder is at work at the carpenter
business. and Robinson is briek-laying.
L did not see our old friend, P. E. More
house; he was out on his cattle ranch,
some forty miles from this city.
On Sunday, at II o'clock a. m, we
turued our faces toward sunrise, on the
&P. Ry., for Kansas City, where we
arrived on Monday evening. 1t is lo9
miles from Denver to Kansas City. Here
we took the Chicago, Alton & Kansas
citv Railroad for Chicago, and arrived at
chicago on Tuesday evening. The dis
tance between Kansas City and Chicago
is 4ss miles. After a ride of three days
and two nights without sleep it is unnec-
essary to say that we were a little IA
tigued. (We never sleep on the cars).
We devoted Wednesday, until 5 p. M,
looking around this great boiling pot,
taking in South Park, and the great Union
StOck-yards, where, it seemed to us, there
was no end to cattle thai were in pens.

result, except such fellows as Conklin0

Gen. Rice may be satisfied, but the Con-
federate Brigadiers with whom he is now
training, and who are again controlling
the Democracy of the North, are not sat
isfed by long ways, and are not soft
mouthed in expressing their dissatisfac-
tiOn and their designs of ''gaining by Leg
islatiOn what they failed to accomplish
by the war;" Since getting partical
control Of the government, they have be-
come emboldened to freely express their
intentions in case they can succeed in cap
turing the executive as well as the legis-
lative branch of the government. But
they have shown their hands little too
plainly, and the loyal people Of the North
have had their eyes opened to the danger
of the situation, and will be heard from,on
subject emphatically in October

At 40 p. m. we took the cars on the
Plttsburg, Cincinnati & st. Louis Rail-
road and come to this place (45 miles), to
visit brother we had not seen for more
than fourteen years. After making him
and his family visit of four days, we
shall this evening, July 9TH, return to
Chicago and take the cars of the B. & o..
Railroad for home, by way of Defiance,
Fostoria, Tifin, Mansfield, Mt. Vernon,
Newark and Columbus.
When we passed through Kansas, on
our route to Denver, there had not been
too much rain, but on our return we
found that rain had fallen almost in tor
rents for distance of $50 miles, incIud-
ing Topeka. The corn was standing in
water and the wheat shocks were COM
pletely wet through, and there was great
danger of losing much of the wheat on
this account. In some localities, north
-of Lawrence, we were told that a greater
portion of the wheat, then in shock,
would have to rot down and be lost.

that they still believe they were right in
shooting Gen. Rice's leg off. That he

amends to him for depriving him of his
