UNTIL recently tho third term move
ment seemed to DO advancing not so much
by reason OF its inherent force as by reason
ofdivision and disagreement among its OPP
ponents. Men who agreed that they did
not want the ex.President were unable to
unite upon anybody else. ~ am opposed
10 Grant and in favor Of Blaine" said
one. 81, too" said another, IAN also OPP
posed to Grant, but l am also opposed to
Blaine. Between the two would choose
Grant" Here is difference so far as this
group is concerned fatal to any edectual
resistance to the third term movement. II
third person, say one who believes that
the currency should be the paramount
question in the canvass, added the name
of Sherman to the problem it became no
easier OF solution and the discord in
creased. Up to certain point mere hos
tility to Grant will have weight, but there
must come time in the working OF polit-
zeal forces in and about Chicago when it

Gov. HoYr, of Pennsylvania, says that
the unit rule adopted by the Harrisburg
Convention is entirely artificial. 1t did
not bind tho district delegates. Only the
delcgates-at.large were shackled by the
resolution, and they would doubtless
stand by Grant as long as there was q
reasonable hope Of renominating him. but
the direct delegates are limo sense bound
by the resolution. The Albany Journal
remarks on this: whether this view oil
the potency or impotoncy OF tho resolu-
ton Of instructions is tho right view or
not, it is the cOmmon.sense view, espec'
ially in this State, where the delegates
were chosen by the representatives from
the Congressional districts. Such mode
OF selection was clear recognition OF the
rights OF the districts to be represented in
tho Convention by men who knew and
would give expression to their wishes"

a rapidity seldom equaled. Thisinaation,
as tho Public freely admits, has greatly
stimulated speculation in stocks, and IN
many kinds Of merchandise, and the END
is not yet. Stock speculation may have
been temporarily checked, butspeculaton1
in other directions Is on the increase, and
Il has reached real estate much earlier
than 1t usually does in the course OF such
movements. Prices are advancing on all
sides. Landlords are marking up rents,
merchants are marking up their goods, and
laborers are demanding higher wages to
match the increased cost Of living. and
speculation always thrives upon rising
i 6riCes.

Tng term "wate:ed stock" originated, it
is said, with Daniel Drew, who was q
droyer in his early days. 7. Carpenter, a
leading broker in Wall street, was son OF
iarmer1n Putnam county, where Daniel
Drew came from, and he went to Drew
one day to sell him some stock which had
been put on the market ut considerably
above the ectual cost Of the property
brow said, "That stock makes me think Of
old farmer Brooks up in Put who used
to salt aud water his stock to make his
cattle weigh heavy when he sold them!"
Tho broker told the story in the street,
and it became an adage.

cal Christianity, but X picks it up and with a flourish of trumpets, heralds it abroad as. an 'irreconciable conflict of statement" first, however, importuning the reader to make a note of the fact that he has "no desire to in. jure MT. Reid" X also figures among hls arguments the statement that t.Mr. Reid would necer leave with debt on the society for his salary" a statement that weighs the heaviest on the side he opposes.
 Those who thought the resignation meant what it said, for the sake of peace, made no effort to attend the meeting,' says X, but he produces no proof to show that the resipna- tion did not mean what it said and further more, it is questionable if the absence of those who thought the resignation meant what 1t said' can be accounted for upon the ! theory that they were conscious of their in. ability to keep the peace at church meeting, or whether Ks ten or twelve families had | been fishing on the Sunday the resignation was tendered, and knew nothing about it.
 The assertion that votes were solicited and | accepted from those not church members is contradicted by prominent members of the society, who say that although one or two such votes were cast, they were thrown out After having exploded all his thunder, X has so little confidence in it's efficacy that fo, the furtherance of his scheme, he not onl, depends upon. but openly calls for the exer else of the same Christian spirit which he publicly assails, conscious that he finds hi: most potent argument in the fact that if tht church is divided it twill be regretted by none more seriously than by MT. Reid him | self"
 It is not my purpose to carry on contro 1versy with the writer of the other side, hay ing no personal interest in the matter, as l O oR
 simply represent the sentiment of a large DOT tion who know Mr. Reid Tn the relation o neighbor and citizen; man whose precept and practice perfectly harmonize, and who's daily walk is. free from selfshness or hypoc risy. We feel that the article of last weel tends to leave an. unfavorable and false. i'm pression in the minds of outsiders not ac quainted with the circumstances, and a sens of duty prompts reply.

Kansas Letter.

ED. NEWS Usually one of the first sal utations that pass between people on meet ing, is the state of the weather, so we observe firstly in regard to it.
 The months of November and December were rather cooler than usual the last week in Dec. was cold, the mercury sinking one day to below at a. m., 6o above at noon and 15 below at 10 p. m., but it seemed nc colder at that temperature than at zero if Connecticut owing to the dry state of the at mosphere, and the absence of frost in the ail that you have in the East. Since. then, we have had generally very mild, and at times al most summer weather. Farmers have been ploughing through the month of January Had our pony out on picket rope consider able portion of the time; been no time but what we could screw the picket pin into the ground. The town herd of cows been out all winter. Have had two or three dashes. oi snow, just enough to show. Winter wheat that failed to germinate at the time of sowing. has shown itself in the green leaf during the month of January, and the report from far mers is, that the prospect of a good crop is SC far very good. Among the large farmers in this vicinity is Mr. H. E. Smithes. He is a young gentleman of means, who came here from England four years ago, and purchased of the late Geo. Grant 24OO acres of land To. cated on Big Creek, miles east of Hays City. He has built fine dwelling, and barns for different kinds of stock. He has an over- seer who has immediate charge of operations on the farm, also secretary, with an office fitted up for their use. MT. Smithes contents himself with a general oversight of his busi- ness, and being the fine young English gen. tleman of the modern time." He is mainly turning his attention at present to raising grain. He had the past season 800 acres of wheat, which yielded l5 bushels to the acre, 70 acres of corn, which from personal obser. vation we know was good. He employed the past summer, 85 men in farming and

FROM THE PEOPLE,
The Truth, or 32 AgaansrA A. Side.

Having seen in the News of Feb. 4, a heading, ''The other sdej7sand under it a statement of such untruthfulness, eo many minds,) and misleading some to believe wrongfully, feel it duty to call the attention of the public to some of the facts in the case
 lst, there is no serious difference of opin- ion in regard to the pastor of the Congregational church and society in this place. as a vote of 32 against 4 sufficiently proves to any fair minded man.
 2d, there is evidently desire to injure Mir. Reid, or why came to be published in public newspaper, to go abroad throughout the land, that he lacks in preparation for his services; that the best part of his time is giv- en to work outside of the parish .aad that a church harmonious when he came will be divided under his hands.
 Sd, it is sincerely hoped that the Christian heather" families will not have to be number ed to make out the 10 or l2 families repre-, sented as not receiving the good which is SC earnestly desired; but where else shall we go to find them?
 4th, there has not yet been. witnessed any great irreconcilable conflict of opinion, as 32 against does not look like conflict that should last very long with those who are dis posed to do right.
 9th, the truth is perverted in the statement made regarding salary. The other side states that MT. R. expressed willingness to accep of a less sum than the agreed amoAnt of hit salary. The facts are, the salary, is no agreed upon nor fixed for next year, as yet but the true statement was, if Mi. Reid stayed land there was some reason to think ht would if the people were well united ane Emuch desired him to stay, and his hsalth per mitted that he would be willing to ascept O a little less salary, but not very much less, al he did not wish to establish a precedent. H' also stated that Providence had been kind t, him, and he believed he had direct answer tt his prayers and that he intended, iftbsre wal but small indebtedness at the end of thu year, to cancel it; but it has never yeE been { pastors obligation to do this, and it is no likely to be the case in the near future. i
 9th, the other side state that they made IN effort to attend the meeting, of which a propel notice had been given. was not aware O any extra efforts being made by any side t get to the meeting. Such meetings are oper to all members, and this was as largely atten ded, if not larger, than is usual. It wal their business to attend and settle all differ ences of opinion, instead of ventilating ahem selves through the newspapers; and, besides 32 against looks as if they were in the mi nority sufficiently to induce them to uncon dltionally surrender for the good of. all con cerned. .''
 To sum it all up, it looks like an unyield ing, subtle, go-as-you-must sort of schemG :tt get rid of good man who leaves better record than any other man in our midst fo several years, as his New Years report full ly confirms, and who the great majority O this people hope may still continue, with us while all who love harmony and peace depre cate the actions of the other side.
