The Sedgwick County Delegation

Senator Sluss and the Representatives
Of Sedgwick county county are receiv-
ing much deserved praise and cOngrat-
dlatiom for the success of their efforts to
pass the Sedgwick-Ilarvey county bill.
BY IFS passage at the last Legislature, the
taxes in Sedgwick county are materially
esscned. We know that, especially to
senator Sluss, is due much credit for the
accomplishment of the measure. The
citizens of Harvey county were present
in force, and strong pressure was
brought TO bear TO kill the bill. Sena-
tor Sluss' consistent and honorable
course during the entire session has
gained him many friends, and when the
opportunity came to test their earnest
ness, he was not disappointed.-Iopeka
Commonwealth.
Most heartily do our people concur in
the estimate made by the Commonwealth
of the services rendered by our Senator
and Representatives the past winter and
we would prove untrue to ourselves il
we failed to acknowledge them. Upon
that question. Capt. Seth NJ. Tucker,
VIM. Grciflenstein and ii. c. Sluss
proved true to their convictions and
the interests Of Sedgwick county, and
the universal verdict is ''well done good
and faithful servants" and we are glad
to note concentrations from SO disin-
terested and high source as the above.

The City Election.

The city election comes of next Tues
day. Every Republican who has the
good of his party at heart, and believes
tLat the triumph of its principles means
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, and every Republican who wants
his taxes reduced in the minimum,
should put in the day for the success OF
the Republican, ticket. The opposition
have not left stone unturned to defeat
the action of the party. Independent
tickets have been gotten mp--the color
ed men have been coaXcd to pui
up q ticket of their own. All these
moves are understood by the Rcpubli-
cans. and they will not avail.
We have nothing 10 say against the
personal character of the opposition
tickets, but VIC do say that the Republic
can ticket is well nigh faultlcss. So
near is it SO that the opposition have
tried to strengthen themselves by using
the names of our nominees.
With the affairs Of this city in the
hands of MIR. Kohn and the men who
have been nominated for Councilmcn
BY the Republicans there need be no APP
prehension upon the part Of taxpayers
as to the way the public monies will be
used and as to the material interests Of
the city being cared for. Jobs and
schemes for personal ends will be out OF
the question, and the balance sheets
will show an economy undreamed of in
the past.
The Republicans of the city have COM
planned in the past that while the party
has been in the majority in the city il
has never practically had any say in the
administration of lis affairs. Now is
the opportunity for new deal, which,
If successfully and honestly made. will
settle the political complexion of Wichi-
ita for all time.
Remember Tuesday and let the watch
word be: The Republican ticket, the
whole Republican ticket, and nothing
but the Republican ticket.

A Sensible Law.

The Legislature has passed law

THE GOLD DISCOVERY
COWLEY COUNTY.
Qoldore City and tho Hoodoo
Lead.

A few weeks since it was claimed that
Gold bearing quartz had been discover
ID By farmer in digging well on his
place, located between the Walnut and
Arkansas Rivers, some twelve or fifteen
miles northwest of Winfield. The
Winfield papers made light of the dis
covery, declaring it job or swindle.
On Monday evening of this week, Geo.
r. True, q correspondent of the Detroit
Dasss Free Press, arrived in Wichita
with . specimen of the quartz and a
duplicate or copy Of an assay made by
Prof. L. X. Williams of Reno Nevada,
which shows the ore to be worth over
$1,000 per ton. Mr.. True brought his
ore to the EAGLE Office, but we are UNI
able to discern any pure gold in it, after
thoroughly grinding it in a mortcr.
Mr.. True says the excitement is great
and at least two thousand people were
upon the ground Sunday, and several
buildings going up. There is one fort.
acre tract OF land not yet pre-empted,
and ii had been given the name Of thu
Hoodoo tract, with ut least forty claim
ants. The diggings are about fort!
miles from Wichita. That the whole
thing is sell, We have no doubt. Tho
following letter reached this Office yes
terday:
GOLDoRE, March "a, 1879.
EDITOR EAGLE: A large vein of Gold
quartz rock, was discovered at this
place on Friday last. 1t is said to be
rich and valuable. The town ofGOldOre
has been laid out aud buildings ar
rapidly going up. The Palace Hotc'
was thrown up yesterday, Sunday.
"Thc Goldore Mining Company of kan-
sas" are sinking shafts, and have ordered
heavy mining machinery. People are

hundreds. JOHN G.

What the Democracy Intend.

As an earnest Of the intention of the
Democratic Congress, or what its ma
jority of Confederate Irigadiers pro-
pose ehall be the programme and what
the loyal Democratic soldiers Of the
North may expect, the late organization
pretty clearly indicates. That the States
rights rebels propose to win through
Congress what they lost by war there
is not the least doubt, and the Northern
Democratic members find themselves
utterly powerless to stay the resolution
of solid south. Col. John G. Burcb,
of Tennessee, q staff officer to General
Pillow, was made Secretary Of the Sem
ate, position worth $500 per year.
r. J. Bright, nephew Of the notorious
lessee was elected Serge ant-at-arms.
Shaler, an ex-Confederate Colonel takes
the chief clerkship. H. b. Peyton who
served on the staff of Gen. Lee for ex-
ccutivc clerk. Ex-Confederate General
Joe Johnston chairman Of the military
committee, and so on though the entire
list. The old Confederate Congress, Of
JEFF Davis, is now virtually ruling the
country with only Hayes and his cabi-
net to protest or interfere.
One of the first bills introduced in the
Senate was to remove the political disa-
bilities of jeff Davis, SO as to prepare
for his admission as Senator to succeed
Bruce two years hence.
The Mississippi States, published at
Okolona, in answer to the Washington
Republican says:
"After a struggle of eighteen years in
war and politics, the COnfederacy has,at
last captured the capitol.
Eyes, thank God! We have captur-
ed the capitol, and in 1880 our man will
walk up the White House steps and take
his seat in the Presidential chair.
Then will our glorious triumph be
complete.
"1hen will we proceed to tear your
amendments from the Constitution ana
proceed to trample them in the mire.
"Thcn will we break the shackles you
have forged for the Free, Sovereign and
independent Commonwealth OF the
Union.
Linen will We recognize the right OF
,cccssion--a right that is not dead. bun
sleeping.
"Then will we decorate the CapitO
with the pictures Of Davis, Lee, ana
Stuart, and all the glorious leaders Of a
cause that is not lost. but living still.
"Yes. thank God, we HAVE captured
The Capitol, and from that coigne OF
vantage we propose to rule the Repub-
lie in way that will make your Radical
laws and your Radical leaders forever
odiOus in America"
Northern Democrats who maggie that
the Democratic party is National par
ty. will find a good deal Of food for
thought in the foregoing lines.

News About Our East and West
Railroad.

The whole territory east of Wichita
to the Missouri line is agitatcd over the
question Of an east and west, direct and
independent line of railroad 10 St.Louis.
Meetings have been held in the counties
of Montgomery, Elk. Wilson, Green
wood and Butler. and the representa-
tives Of the interests of the Kansas
roads that give only Cansas City out
let have been utterly unable to stay the
enthusiasm. Garrison and the Missouri
Pacific interests, Nettleton and the
Leavcnworth, Lawrence and Galveston
interests, and the AtchisOn, Topeka and
Santa Fc road, all make common cause
in choking of the great independent
line that proposes to strike straight
through the great agricultural belt Of
Kansas. Propositions, backed by for
feits of large sums Of money, have been
made by some Of the above-named in
tercsts in some of the above-named
counties TO defeat tho building of the
Missouri, Wichita and Western road.
Such road. if built, (Which it undoubt-
cdly will beg completely saws the legs

competition direct with all the large
eastern markets. The building of the
Missouri and Wichita road will save to

to say nothing of the enhanced price of

ing prices, which last thing has never
been done from this point yet. Accord
ing to the figures Of competent &C
countant, il the latter road had been in
operation Sedgwick county would have
saved last year the enormous sum of one
and quarter million dollars.
We have seen kilograms from the New
York parties in interest which would
seem to put the building of tho road be-
yond question should the territory TO be
benefited extend the required aid. The
route settled upon is from Oswcgo to
Cherryvale and up the Fall River valley
through a corner of Wilson county.
through Greenwood county and through
Butler to Eldorado and Augusta. very

road bed; or another route. equally direct
from Oswegc to independence and up
the Elk valley through Butler county to

accounts of meetings held at Indcpend- |

Township Elections.

One among the best laws passed by
the Legislatusc, was that changing the
time of holding township elections. The
bill was introduced by Mr.. Sclover, and
fixes the time for holding township cleo
tons on the first Tuesday in February
so that the officers chosen can enter up
on their duties the first of March. The
officers elected last year will hold over
until next February. Township cleo
tons on the day of general elections,
were an intolerable nuisance.

McCue, of this city. The speech Of Mr..
McCue was very good, - were the 9TH
er addresses. Mr.. McCue reminded
them of how the LeavcnwOrth, Law
renee and Galveston people acted in
former years how they were always
afflicted with spasmOdic fever to ex-
tend their line about the time any other
line contemplated building In this Sec
ton how they never moved, and never
intended to move. A committee was ap-
pointed to confer with the western peO-
pie with full power to act for the city.
The meeting was very enthusiastic
throughout. A vote was taken, the
result showing that the people were
unanimously in favor Of the st. Louis
Wichita and Western road.
The Kansan of that same city says:
A vote was then called for upon the
proposition that independence aid the
road, which was carried unanimously,
after which the meeting adjourned.
The Eureka Graphic has this to say
with reference to the enterprise in
concluding lengthy article:
There were present at these meet
ings Joseph Seligman, of J.& W.Selig-
man, bankers, Of New York, and Sell
igman 4 Brothers, of London, Eng
land, men of immense wealth: and
several representatives of the S. Louis
and San Francisco road and the Mis-
souri, and Western. The advantage OF
this road TO Eureka will be obvious,
placing us in direct connection with
he coal fields of Southeastern Kansas
md the still greater advantage OF
opening up the vast timber region OF
Northwe stcrn Arkansas, where pine,
oak. poplar and walnut abound. Com
non pine lumber sells at the mills in
Arkansas at S. and 81 per thousand
