HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The attention OF the House was called by
Mr.. Cox, OF New York, to a petition pre-
scented by Mr.. McCoid, OF Iowa, last Sat
urday and printed in Yesterdays Record,
stating that a longer continuance OF the ses-
sion is fraught with danger to peace and
with disaster 10 the financial, commercial,
and other interests Of the country; that
the measures inaugurated by Congress
threaten revolution and strike down all the
safeguards to free and unintimidated bal
lot that this improbable session should be
speedily terminated. Mr.. Cox characterized
the petiion as an insult to Congress, and
said that he had objected to it at the time,
and therefore it should not have been
printed.
A long discussion ensued, Mr.. Cox insist
ing that the petition should be struck out
OF the record, and Dir. Conger taking the
ground that that would be improper, ana
that the only proper remedy was an eX-
punsing OF the petition by action OF the
House. and in order TO have that action ne
insisted that the petition should lie read, so
that he could know what he was voting on.
The Speaker, after quoting precedents IN
support OF his position, stated that the
House had control over the journal, and
that he would therefore submit the ques-
ton to the House. He intimated that If he
had bis own will about it he would let the
petition stay on the record for what it is
worth. II obiection0 to- the petition had
been noted by the reporter and inserted in
the report the petition could not have been
printed in the face Of that objection !; there
fore the correction of the record by insert
ing the objection would necessarily exclude
the petition. SO &, !.
Finally the question was submitted as to
whether the record should be corrected by
the insertion OF the objection, the Speaker
stating that such correction would necessa-
rily exclude the petition. And the correc-
ton was ordered. il...,l.s., -.

Chase County Notes.

NONSIVU, august II.
DEAR NEws.-For several days the
clouds Indicated rain, and about three
O'Clock last night the numbering thun-
der and vivid lightning indicated its ap-
proaches. It is now nearly noon, and since
four the somewhat thirsty earth has been
taking one steady, long drink, and the
rain cup does not yet appear to be ex-
hausted.
The corn is all made and is fine crop.
Wheat and oats are now nearly all
threshed. The grain is good but the
crop only about one-half of what it usu-
ally is-say, oats, ID to % bushels per
acre; wheat, from 10 to 10. The hay
crop will be shorter than usual. Many
parties commenced to cut last Monday.
Many that moved up near the Colora-
do line last spring are now moving back
to central and eastern Kansas. They
have seen that they have been crowding
the westward march of the rain fall of
Kansas too much. Hold on, ladies, gen.
tlemen and families. You have been
repeatedly told that you had better stop
in some of the old, and nearly always re-
liable counties of Kansas Western
Kansas will all be right in few years
at least, as near so as nature and the laws
of nature will permit. 1t is approach
ing the altitude of Colorado too nearly
to ever be reliable for corn, pork and
ia bee f.
Is it not wonder that this part of
Kansas is so slow in being filled up with
sheep-hay, oats and corn being so plenty
and the winters generally so dry and
well suited to sheep feeding? With
sheep husbandry would come wooden
factories, and large amount of wooden
goods would be used instead of cotton, as
now. 1t is not even successful agricul-
ture alone that make any country pros
porous and successful. A devirsity of pro-
ducts make diversity of callings and
mechanics necessary, increases the de-
mands for home products and brings the
producer and consumer side by side,
rendering all parties more Independent
and all prices more stable. Indeed, here
are hundreds of good water powers in
good localities, with plenty OF good and
cheap lands lying side by side, all I'M
improved, and while all this is so, here
are the thousands that must be clothed
from the cotton fields of the south or the
sheep farms and wooden mills of the east,
our grass and water power all the while
running to waste.
More blowing has been done for wheat
than usual at this season of the year, and
the indications now are good for larger
breadth of wheat being sown this fall
than usual.
In June we had ia inches of rain, in
July, 5 inches; to-day we had half as
much as in all July Az

The GREAT FAIR.-We return thanks
for complimentary ticket to the Kan
sas City fair, for 1879, September 22d to
9th, inclusive. Kansas City excels
itself every successive year on the eXhI-
bition it makes, and extraordinary pre-
parations are being made for great
display this season. We suggest to the
managers that now is the time to obviate
this year what was general source of
dissatisfaction last Year-the quality and
price of meals served up in the large
eating house on the ground. A good meal
ought to be served up for at least 80
cents, and for church societies To mon
opolize the dining room business and
charge 75 cents for very poor meal
very inefliciently served, is not condu-
Give TO the popularity and success of the
fair There is time this season for the
managers to guard against this mistake
The Kansas City fair is an institution in
which all Kansas and Missouri take "a
deep interest, and we want to see it a
success in every particular.
