Morrow Telegram: Mississippi
Democrats and Republicans unite IN
the statement that Jefferson Davis
will be the next United States Sen
atOr from that State, if be lives till
the Senatorial election and his disa-
biliEes are removed. Where's that
sour apple tree?
Portsmouth Tribune and Repub-
lican: Soldiers will please bear in
mind the fact that Tom. Ewing was
instrumental in having Capt. Black
ford, the one-armed soldier from
Stark county, IN this State, removed
from the Capitol police forceat Wash
ingtOn. And yet the Democrats
have the cheek to put their bIather-
ing demagogue forward as a "sol-
diers' candidate" "
Marietta Register. Ewing came
near being defeated for Congress,
last year, in q district strongly Dem
ocratic. Now he proposes to spread
himself over the whole State and be
elected Governor. Perhaps he may,
but it cannot be done without an
amazing increase Of popularity.
Scioto Gazette: General Robin
son, now in Washington, is having
excellent success in obtaining speak
ers to canvass the State during the
coming campaign. Among those
who will speak in Ohio are Blaine,
Zach Chandler, General Logan,
Frye, Burrows of Michigan, and
probably Conkling. Secretary Sher
man will speak in Steubenville and
Lebanon, and possibly at other
points.
Pike County Republican: Tom.
Ewing a few years ago declared that
the Democratic party was dead, and
about the only thing needed was
some one to bury it. About the
18th of next October Thomas will
have an opportunity to perform that
service.

County Snnerintendener.

"Highlander" in his communica-
ton, published last week, gives su-
pervision a rather rude, back-handed
blow. We wish to say that we have
never advocated such supervision as
they have in Iowa and Missouri.
The bill we advocated provided
for three Examiners, and took the
matter further from politics than is
our present system.
But "come, let us reason togeth-
er." Shall we abolish the office OF
President, because Tyler and John
son went back on the people, or be-
cause money has been used to Sc
cure votes? W6 wouldn't. Are
there no honest and capable men
in Missouri ? Would "Highlander"
sell certificates to anybody at one
dollar apiece This argument would
apply just as fOrcibly to any other
office.

EDITORS News In looking over
your last issue I see a short letter
dated Kellogg, Iowa, in which the
writer does Jasper County an inius-
tice. Farmers in this section tell
me that crops are at least two weeks
earlier than usual, and our wheat
better than for five years. Fall
wheat was never better, nor half the
acreage sOWn. Oats viii be short
straw, but good other ways. I talk
ed with a Highland farmer (of which
we have a great many in this eoun-
ty) on Saturday, and be says that he
never saw as good a prospect for a
corn crop as we have this year. The
corn is large, the ground clean, and
a better stand I never'saw.
The spring was cool and dry, and
this gave farmers a good chance to
prepare their ground and plant.
Then we had rain enough to keep
the ground moist so the corn came
up well and grew right along. Now
we are having rather more rain
than is beneficial to small grain.
Our timothy crop VIII be a little
short, but viii have plenty and to
spare.
The Republican crop in Iowa Will
exceed last years at least 10000.
There is more enthusiasm in our
ranks this year than usual. Our
Lieutenant Governor, Frank T.
Campbell, opened the campaign in
our town last Friday evening, with
a rattling good speech, in which he
exposed the rebel brigadiers in a
manner that did not please our Dem
Ocratie friends. Am sorry that
Highland has no good timber for the
Office Of Sheriff We have four can
didates for the office in this county,
and 1 think Kellogg has at least two
of them.
Health Of this county good, at
least the Doctors say it is distress
ingly healthy.
Hope my Kellogg friend VIII take
no offense. J.C.

The teachers of Highland county,
so far as we have observed, are very
anxious to know who Turner is.
Having never heard of him, we were
not able to reply to their inquiries.
We will give an item or two this
week. He is a kind of an itinerant
teacher; is said to have taught in
Ross and Adams counties; came
to Highland, attended the Union
School and received a certificate for
twelve months. "Go thou and do
We have a better feeling toward
Turner now. We thought his ar
ticles were malicious, but now we
think that he knew no better.

LeTteF from Western Kansas.

ABILENE, DICKINSON Co., KAs.,l
June, 1879.
DEAR News: 1t has been q long
while since I have seen anything in
your columns from Kansas. It has
been so dry out here that there has
not been much to write about for 6
or s months. The enormous wheat
crop Of last year was sold at low
figures until quite recently. Corn
has been a very low price. But now
how changedI Therains have come
in their reason, and crops are doing
well, considering the drought last
fall and winter.
I think it will be safe to say that
winter wheat viii average 10 bushels
per acre-about a half crop. It's
too early to tell what spring wheat
viii do, but it promises a half crop
if not more. Oats doing we'll. Corn
is extra fine, and a very large aver
age planted.
The emigration is large, and the
enterprise is astonishing. This is
a farmers paradise, but it is risky
business farming here. Seasons are
very uncertain, But tie forests
coming on, we hope, will regulate
the rainfall.
Peaches all killed. No apple trees
bearing this farwest. Berries doing
we'll Had a light frost one night
in June, but nothing injured here.
Mr.. Boardman, I believe you pro-
pose to reward the man who viii re
port himself at your Office with an
umbrella which he has carried for
more than a year. I have found
your man, and If you viii pay his
way he viii show you his old UNI
brelia, and lend it to you, as he has
but little use for It, since the wind
blows so that umbrellas are Of little
account in Kansas.
More anon. Respectfully,
B. III. LEA.

CITIZENSHIP IN RHODE ISLAND.

Ho,c Intelligent Citizens are Distranchised
in SpraOWedOm.
A private letter received from an intelli-
gent gentleman who was present at the sit
tings of the Wallace Senatorial investigating
committee in Rhode Island, gives the follow
ing account of the manner in which Ameri-
can freemen are managed in that heretofore
plantation. The writer SAYS: "There were
some curious facts brought out in evidence
in the course of the investigation. One wit
ness, for instance, was found who served gal
lantly in the war and brought back to Rhode
Island, as q servant, one of the negroes whom
he had helped to free. That negro now
votes in Rhode Island, because he is native
born, although he owns no property. The
gallant soldier who helped make him free
man and voter cannot vote, because he is
of foreign birth and owns no real estate.
Another alien was found who has no real es-
tate and cannot vote, although in the past,
when he did own real estate, he was deemed
worthy to serve Rhode Island many times in
both braohes of her general assembly and
also in the lower house of CONGRESS. Still
another rose from the ranks to captaincy
in the war, and while holding that position
at the front acted as supervisor of the votes
cast by his company, counted them and
returned them to the proper officer.
He was good enough man to fight for
Rhode Island and to count Rhode Island
votes, but he cannot vote himself. There
