Talking fer the Sake of Talk,
Ing.

New York, S-The Herald comments
on the fact that Indiana is very likely to
go republican next month. The solid
south is broken reed. Republicans can
carry off three or four southern state:
from their opponents if the October cleo
tions make it advisable 10 do so. They
will not he,itate 10 do so if Indiana
should go democratic next month. They
have already resped al the advantage
from southern solidity which that can
give them, and the south is so ready to
break up that we see in the singular
spectacle of Bayard speaking in states
ike South Carolina, which according to
democrats asssrtions,sre SO solid that de-
hate should be a waste of bre=th 1t Is
one of the comic features of the canvas
to men like Wade Hampton, Bayard
and others getting out the solid south,
entreating white voters for heavens and
the democratic psrty's sake, not to split
spaxt at least until after November.
Why DO not Hampton and Bsyard go to
illinois and try to secure the twenty-oue
electoral votes Of that great state? and to
Ohio to win its twenty-five votes? These
two northern states would enable them to
fling away half dozen Of the petty little
southern rotten boroughs, which if they
should carry the election by their help,
would only embarrass them sfterward?

EvARrs AND THE MoRMoNs
More TwaddIe by the Seere-
tarY Of State.

Chicago, 9.-Ti1es' Wsshington: The
attention of Secretary EvRrts was to-day
called to the fact that number OF emf
grants had embarked from Europe, fol
this country, evidently with the intention
of going to Salt Lake to join the MOI
mons, where they supposed they would
be unmolested in the full enjoyment OF
the religious belief and customs of that
sect. Il will be remembered that some
time ago a large number of emigrsnts
passed through the country westward to
Utah, having left their own country to
escape the restrictions placed upon them
because of their belief in Mormouism,
and especially the practice ofpolygamy
There was at the time and is now q law
in force in the territories and part cularly
Utah, prohibiting polygamous marriages.
AT that time Secretary Evarts issued.
circular to suborGinates OF the state de-
psrtment in foreign countries, giving no
tice to foreigners preparing to go to Utah
with the view of practicing polygamy
that they would be duly prosecuted il
they did SO for VIC alton of this law.
Inc object of the circular was to dis
courage foreigners from coming to this
country, with the view ofjoining Nor
mons. Secretary Evsrts was asked what
he proposed to do with the immigrants
now on their wsy to Mormondom. He
said if they attempted to carry out their
peculiar views 10 regard to marriage
they would be proceeded against at once
for polygamy. They would be trested
as criminals and punished accordingly.
They had received due warning in the
circular issued to foreign countries, and
in accordance with this circular which
has been widely circulated, prose-
cutions would at once be insti-
tuted against them. There could |
have been no installing the circular. 1t |

abroad TO communicate to foreign GOV
ernmenIs the position OF the administra-
ton upon the Mormon question. THIS was |
that this government intended to take |
most active and vigorous steps for the |
abolition Of the Institution of polygsmy |
IN this country. The circular was
Issued, and it was so stated therein, for
the main purpose of securing co-opera-
lion upon the part of foreign govern
ments in preventing the emigration of
their subjects, who intended to come
over here to join the Mormons and prac-
tee polygsmy. The circular created a
good deal of sensation at the time, be-
cause the administration merely indicated
4 desire TO shut off additions to polyg-
amists from outside sources, but at the
'ame time took no steps to punish Nor
mons who actually practiced polygamy
n Utah beyond test case or two, which
IN practically nothing.

TIE PANAMA CANAL.
Ammen defends the scheme.

| Washington, s.-AdmirSl Ammen has
written letter in reply to the recent
pamphlet by Nimmo upon the inter-
oceanic canal ia its commercisl aspect.
He says: The objection to the Panama
route, so far as calms are concerned Is
not applicable to the Nicaragua route,
| although the distance between them IS
| not great. lis well known to hayl-
gators that the Red Sea and Upper Med
iterranean-sIe, during the winter, subject
10 very sudden and violent gales, with
lack Of sea room, and during the sum mer
the heat is great and calms prevail, so
that the danger Of navigation at one sea-
son and the delay of another prevent the
use of the canal by sailing vessels, to-
gether with the fact that they can so
readily pal around the Cape of Good
Hope, which lies in about $50 south lati-
tude. These are otanalagous conditions
to the canal cross the American Isthmus
at Panama. No sudden and dangerous
gales in narrow seas, nor oppressive
heat and calms will be found IN its ap-
proAches. Ammen then contrasts the
voyages around the two eapes, and
shows that 10 double CIpe Horn pre-
senLs far greater obstacles than to sail
around Good Hope. Ammen presents u
supp0eitious case of two vessels leaving
San Francisco together, bound for Liv-
erpool. one going around the Cape and
the other through the canal. 1t is shown
that the latter traVerses only half the
distance passed over by the former, and
supposing canal transit to be without
cost, the freight of the first vessel should
pay more than double rates to make the
voyage of equal profit to the owners of
ships. Ammen also quotes from the |
Commercial NelOS Of San Francisco re-
gaIding the quantity Of WI eat for export |
this year, and says that staple will find |
0 stursl outlet toward Europe through |
the canal. and an increase of traffic will |
be insured sufficient not only to pay in
terest on the investment, but decrease |

The average newspaper, il in The

the result, we will make no particular

that majority of the Republicans Of
the county were for him rs their hr-i
choice. The way we arrived so cor
rcctly at the actual fact was by talking
with the people from all portions Of the
county We found that eight out of

another, but all giving utterance TO the
one prominent conviction that in the

The convention Saturday was very
harmonious and pleasant one. as much
so as any we ever attended. Three out
of four, by careful estimate, preferred
Grant but opposed Instructions. So
went the convention. for il will be seen
that while Grant was endorsed and a
Grant delegation elected. no insirre-
tions were given further than tina; the
delegation should oppose imstr'iciiny
the States delegates TO the National
Convention at Chicago. A splendid
good lot of men were chosen and we
expect they will make themselves felt AT

GRANT ON GRANT.

GRANT TOWNSHIP March 10. 1880.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:
Our Republican primary held to-day
to elect delegates to the county con-
vention passed off quietly notwithstand
ing that there were two sets Of candi-
dates in the field representing the north
and the south parts Of the township.
But we of the solid and chivalric south,
with full determination 10 die in the
last ditch. have bravely met the enemy
and we are theirs, they having COM
plctely routed us and elected their en-
tire delegation without the loss Of
man. While among the sad disasters
OH our side might be mentioned your
correspondent as being the worst de-
feated candidate of the whole outfit,
and up to the present writing all efforts
10 console him have proved Of no avail
and no doubt but what weeks and
months and, nay, perhaps years hence
he will continue to feel most sore over
his defeat.
A ballot was taken to ascertain the
preferences for President which result
ed in majority for Grant Of three to
one over the combined vote for all other
candidates. If there are any other
townships which can beat that we shall
be glad to hear from them at proper
time, but for the present we would most
earnestly request them not to make the
fact public as it will require many days
for friends Hoss. Beard, and others, to
recover from their present PROSTATE and
delirions condition caused by the unex-
pected and overwhelming defeat of
Blame in Grant aud by Grant. But
Mr.. Editor, laying all jokes aside, and
kindly wishing our fortunate friends a
speedy and perfect restoration to health
and consciousness, the Republicans of
Grant can be relied upon to give their
full and cordial support TO the nominee
of the national convention.
Rev. J. p. Mitchell formerly. Of Cow
ley county. and recently appointed BY
the NJ. f. Conference TO the Valley Gen.
ter circuit. has removed with his family
to that place and earnestly assumed the
duties of his work. The fact of Rev.
MilchelI's appcintmen; having been
made in compliance with the special re-
quest of the members of the circuit is
sufii Gent evidence of his ability and
general fitness for the position.
The Baptist organization of Grant
will shortly commence the erection of a
church editce.
A literary entertainment in the near
future il talked OF, at the Park school
house. Similar entertainments recent
~ held at the Wright aud Sherman
school houses were largely attended and
gave entire satisfaction.
