CLAY's CAMP ON BACHELER CREEK,
KAN, June 10, 1880. !
DEAR JOURNAL "A few items may
prove interesting. Wheat harvest is done
here; wages for good binders $3.50 per
day, and board. Wheat and oats are
each short in the straw, caused by drouth
in April and May, The yield per acre in
bushels probably will not be below the av-
erage, but next week will decide as the
threshers W i'll start then. OF corn it is too
early to predict. There is II large acreage
out and' opportunc rains will give a full
crop. The yield oil fruit where the trecs
are old enough to bear is seldom surpassed
by the Queen of the North; that is the
Mnumee valley. OF strawberries, raspber,
res and black berries, the bushes are loaded
down, and apple and peach trees are al.
ready bending with the weight of the fruit,
all of which give promise Of high living
next Winter.
It isa sight worth going miles to see

sward, cut into ribbons and Inverted by

Tlmmops, we have never duly appreciat-

Mr.. Gibbs OF Grimes county, Texas, who
is reported to have "got away" with three
or four men, writes to some of .he "Texo.
busters" here asking them to recommend
him 10 Gov. st. John for nm Office and pc
lition for his appointment 10 the same.
Very likely His Excellency will take am

west her representatives are considered sec

Fatal is the Wine Cup.

Mr.. EDITOR IL am good deal
amused as we'll as hurt at the position
" Constant Reader" takes in reply to my
article relating to ruin seller who met
his death by his traffic. I am amused to
see his attempt 10 evade truth which is
generally known, and am hurt that he
should come boldly out against an at
tempt at II temperance reformation. Had
he been determined before saloon was
started here that there should be none, we
might still be free from the nuisance, and
ore Of the brightest intellects Of our
neigh hborhood might still be spared to
elevate society.
did not write on this subject to iniure
the feelings of the unfortunate mans
friends, but with a hope of doing some
little good, and because my feelings were
so wrought up at his terrible death that it
seemed MS though l must write Had he
been my brother would have been will
ing and would have expected that his late
would have been pointed out as warning
10 others to shun the accursed cup. / am
told that once, when the rawlings OF the
subject of my sketch somewhat subsided
he declared that il his life was spared he
would never sell another drop Of intoxi-
eating drink. 1t seems as though his dy.
ing reso I've, under such heartrending cir
cumstances, should be sufficient warning
to all, especially to those connected with
him by the ties of blood and marriage, to
shun all intox icating beverages. But such
seems not the case. His brother-in-law,
with the sanction OF his mother and other
relatives, has stepped into the repentant
mans place, to pour the liquid fire down
his swn throat aud the thrOals of even his
own kindred, or any who win take it from
his hand.
Now, Mr.. Editor, with these facts be.
fore us can We hope TO reform our town
by simple moral suasion To the ruln-se Herr
Is it not evident that nothing but the rigid
enforcement of law will save cur town
from being one OF the most drunken aud
degraded places TO be found2
| Constant Reader" should learn, ii he
does not already know, that temperance
advocates find so much truth by which tc
prove the Importance OF their cause tha
! they have no inclination to resort to fa lse
hood and he, who ever he may he, wei
knows that have stated nothing but thu
truth. / am surprised that he shoul,
make the least attempt to deceive the pub
lie. -

PhIIOpcna Pnrty.-Monday Eve, July
5th, the young people OF the NJ. E. church
celebrated by giving aphilopena party at
the church parlors. Notwithstanding the
time for preparation was short, they went
to work with will and made such excel

complete success. The entertainment con-
sisted of literary exercises, usic, ice cream
and cake. Tie philopena" was where
the fun came in. During the evening
each person was obliged to eat n candy

the gentlemen to answer the numerous
questions propounded by the young ladies,
without using at least one OF the forbidden
words, and many of the gentlemen we're
compelled TO go down in their pockets for
change to settle their hi for being "talked
TO death" by the fair ones.

The Fif= John Porter Report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE House committee
on military affairs to-day took action ON the
case of Gen. John Fitz Porter The Democratic
members all voted to recommend the passage
of bill based upon the measure introduced
by Representative Bragg, containing several
important features OF an amendment adopted
on his motion to-day. The Republican men,
bers voted TO, a substitute prepared by Repre-
sentative McCook, providing simply for Gen.
Porter's restoration to his former rank in the
army, without back pay or other pecuniary
award, and Tot agreeing with the assertion of
the jority bill that injustice was done him
at the time of his dismissal.
TEE MAJORITY REPORT
will embody the findings of the Schofeld board
of inquiry and will be presented early next
week by the chairman of the committee
Representative Sparks.
The first section of the majority bill recites
that the findings and sentence of the general
court martial in the case of Major General Fitz
John Porter, late major general of volunteers
and colonel U. 8. army, are hereby set aside,
revoked and annulled, ana the disquali6catlons
of Fitz John Porter Hereunder be and they
a.e hereby removed, said findings and sentence
having been based in error and without due
knowledge of the facts in the case.
Section restores Gen. Porter to all the
rank, rights, title and privileges to which he
would have been entitled if there had been no
court martial, and in conformity to the recon-
mendatlon of the board of officers convened
by special order, provides that he shall not be
entitled nor receive any pay or allowances as
an officer while not in the service of the United
States.
Section declares the colonelcy of the Fiji
teenth infantry, held by Gen. Porter in Jan
uary, 1865, having been filled by regular pro-
motion and confirmation by the Senate, the
position of colonel now to be held by Gen.
Porter will be supernumerary until vacancy
shall occur in the army, when he will be as
signed to that position and the supernumerary
colonelcy shall cease to exist.
Section says:
IF GEN. PORTER SHALL so ELECT
the President of the U. s. may retire him to
the rank of major general, the rank held by
him while in the service. Sec. requires the
Secretary of the treasury to pay General Por-
ter out of any money in the treasury, not 9th
erwise appropriated, the sum of 5000.
awarded by the government as a measure of
amend In acknowledgment of the wrong done
to, and suffered by him through his dismissal
from the army and deprivation from the rights
of citizenship. upon charges now established to
be unfounded, as we'll as to reimburse him for
expense incurred in vin6ication of his charac-
ter and conduct as an officer and soldier from
the disgrace and obloquoy now shown to have
been cast upon him by the government.
The minority report will take the ground
that the testimony and condition of the coun-
try at the time of General Porter's trial jus.i
fed the findings of the court-martial with the
LIGHT then before them
