numbering eighty-siX men, left work at
o O'Clock tonight. subsequently three
men went back and eleven more were pro-

Thompson to get men from out of town to
take the places of the union men in the
Office. 1t was rumOred that a large party
of compOsltOrs were to be brought on from

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The Press Associa-

nell, asking for his opinion in regard to

Queens Bench to-day, before Chief Justice
May, the trial of Robert Elliott and others
on the charge of conspiracy to murder
William Smythe was resumed. DIR.

was an alibi. He complained that
Mr.. O'Brien, the counsel for the
Crown, had in open court called
him "a ID coward" and challenged
him to contradict it outside the court.
Chief Justice May observed that the
language was scandalous and improper.

CREAM OF THE SPECIALS.
What Washington Correspondents are
Saying About Men and Measures.
THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.


A general canvass among the Southern
Senators shows most kindly feeling to-
wards Mcdonald. of Indiana. One South
ern Senator said to-day:
Mcdonald is one of the most popular
Northern men in the South. We believe
in him and he can be trusted. You would
never hear such talk from him as came
from Hendricks the other day, when he
talked about sectiOnalism. Why, the
South to-day has really no offices and eX-
poets none. We are willing to stay on the
back seat. but we do not like to be con-
tinually reminded that we can't come to
the front row if we want to-"
The Southern Senators think well of
Bayard and Pendleton in their Presi-
Dental aspirations, but they are of the
opinion that Mcdonald is the most prac-
ticable and available man.
wANAMAKER's TRADE DOLLARS.
Newton Evans. of the Seventh PennsyI-
vania district, has introduced a bill in
the House providing for an abatement of
the trade dollar nuisance. Mr.. Evans is
authority for the statement that the Wana-
makers, of Philadelphia, have $4,000 of
these dollars, received in the ordinary
course of business. in bank. The Penn
sylvania Representatives bill provides
for the exchange, by the Secretary of the
Treasury, of standard dollars for the trade
dollars for one year, and that the latter
be recOined into standard dollars, which
shall also become full legal tender.
ssCRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT =
The recommendation of o. 0. Howard
that deserters from the army shall be
punished by long solitary confinement and
have the letter 'tD'' branded upon them
has occasioned excited comment in army
circles.
THE TEXAS SLAVE SUIT HOAX
No suits have yet been filed bysTeXas
parties to recover the value of their

Chief Justice Drake says if such suits
are brought they will amount to nothing,

just now there is lull in cattle trans
actions, buyers and sellers being desir-
Gus Of waiting until the roundup is over
that they may count more accurately.
When the cattle are gathered. howey-
er, We look for several big trades. as
there are several in contemplation. A
considerable part of our stockmen came
here in the early days, when the coun-
try was not crowded, and when there
was not an animal on the range, where
now there are hundreds. They have
felt that the range was getting crowd
ed, that they have not sufficient elbow
room, and many Of the pioneers have
already gone further west. They know
that this is still a good country. but
they feel that they arc being crowded
too closely, aud will seek new pastures
and greener fields. Their places will
not remain vacant, nor will they take
their cattle with them, for there are
two men ready TO come in where one
goes out.
Now, If two men could cause TIVE
blades or grass to where but one grew
before, the increased population would
be welcome, but il the two insist that
the one blade Of grass will be sufficient
for the wants of both, then one had
better prefer to stay without" In
palmer words, there should be no more
cattle put on this range. The natural
increase will more than equal the num-
Der Of cattle shipped to market; and
every hoof turned on the range i'm addi-
ton to what are already here cannot do
well, and win prevent stock now here
from existing.
As sure as the range is crowded the
losses will figure up as they did last
winter, unusually heavy.
So, to purchasers we would say, buy
out any st ok you can, but don't expect
to put on range only calculated for
one hundred head twice that many.
There is no money in the experiment.

OUR ROADS.

If there was ever a community that
had reason for kicking about it's roads,
this community has. 1t is fact that
there is not a mile of road near this town
that is even respectable. Our people
are called OH and made to pay their
road tax promptly. We go through the
motion of electing overseers, and vet
the roads are actually in worse shape
than if shovel or pillow had never been
used on them. Look at the road through
the bottom in the southeastern part of
town, connecting with the bridge! 1t
is almost impossible, and yet it is pre-
tended that much money and time has
been spent there. The bridge across
Spring creek was placed on a dirt foun-
dation, and of course washed away. So
1t is over good portion of the county.
Taxes sufficient to keep the roads in
good order are collected; but they are
expended with such bad judgment that
they might as well remain uncolIected.
Here is letter we have received from
Lake City, on this very subject and we
publish it as pertinent at this time:
Mr.. EDIToR:-I wish to enquire IL
there is any law to make a road super
visor fix the roads. Near this place
there are holes in the road that are
nearly impossible.

urer and surveyor. In Lake City town

I'LL the vacancy sccasioned by the res

The impression appears to have gain
ed ground that the roundup Of Conan

a wrong impression. According to the
report of the roundup committee APP

two divisions of this county have com

The anniversary of the battle of Will
sons creek, which occurred in Green
county, Missouri, August 10, 1861, will
be observed this year on the old battle
ground, and soldiers who took part in
that engagement will camp on the
ground the night preceding. 1t does
appear that as the years are drawn out
since the close of the rebellion, that a
greater effort is made to revive the
bitter recollections of that conflict.
Events that twenty years ago were
classed as ordinary are now magnifed
into occurrences without parallel in an
cient or modern history, and all for the
| glorifc%tion ola few ambitious and as
piring men, who desire notoriety. The
battle of Wilson's creek is no exception
nor is this digging up of buried events
confined 10 the UniOn men. The south.
ern soldiers, after looking on the glory
their blue-coat brethren appeared to re-
aliZe out Of these reunions and fought
over-battles concluded to prospect in
the same direction, and about this
time of the year survivors of battles and
skirmishes are called for over the whole
country. Every year these anniversa-
ries and reunions are becoming more
frequent. If the men who saved the
union and those who fought for the
stars and bars live as long as the sur
vivors Of the Mexican war have, and
stay with us as the old Black Hawk SOL
diers have, men who are now young
may as well prepare to take a back
seat during the remainder of their lives.
For at least half century we expect to
see the old soldiers rushing around in
professions, with their coats covered
over with more badges and medals every
year. We expect to hear of picket
skirmishes being magnified into battles
as severe as were those of Anteitem and
Shiloh; we expect to hear cross roads
engagements described with all the hor.
rors we have learned of Vicksburg.
These things must naturally be. There
is only one consolation: Our grand
children may be exempt from these
worn out and tiresome stories. We
never expect to be.

He says:
The republican party Of Kansas i. I'm

less such of their own members as they

We are informed by Mr.. Ely, who was
here this week, looking into the land
business, that in coming from Larned
he passed through three belts Of grass
hoppers, from eight to twelve miles wide.
They appeared in shape to devour any
kind of vegetation that might come in
their way. Having had considerable
experience in Kansas, Mr.. Ely is OF the
opinion that farmers have much to
fear from the ravages of these pests.
Mr.. Ely was questioned about his
opinion of this country, and he said he
thought the government made a mistake
in putting these lands on the market
in 16O acre lots, instead of in tracts of
sufficient size, with water frontage, to
insure pasture for ranch purposes.

about so Apache scouts and hundred
soldiers and went 200 miles into old
Mexico, into the Chuicahuas country,
into the very heart of the Sierra Madre

captured $50 prisoners, including a
number of Mexicans the Indians were
holding as prisoners. Besides the pris-
oners a large number of ponies and
mules loaded with provisions and all
