Gov. Buchanan Of Tennessee has
commutsd the sentence Of Colonel IL.
Clay King, the noted southern lawyer,
to imprisonment for life. But 1t was
expected that he would. Such prom
inent personages as Col. King do not
die by the rope. Col. u. Clay King
shot and killed David II. Poston on q
public street In the city of Memphis
on March 10th last, and after q long
and wearisome trial he was adjudged
guilty by II jury composed Of twelve
"good men aud true" and by judge,
before whom he had often argued
cases OF the same kind as his own, wac
sentenced to be hanged. His case was
taken from one court 10 another until
II reached the highest tribunal In the
land. Even the supreme court had
denied him a rrhearing. But there
was one more hope. Governor
Buchanan was appealed 10 to spare
Col. Kings life by changing the SELL
teuce OF death TO imprisonment within
the walls of the Tennessee penitentiary |
for life. Governor Buchanan did so.

CIRCULAR NUMBER ONE.

COMRADES: Having been chosen 10
serve once more as your commanding
officer, / take this opportunity to thank
you for the honor conferred and 10
assure you that with your earnest c.
operation the Eleventh Annual Reun.
union will surpass all others in every
respect. The wonderful success of the
Interstate reunions in the past, may
be attributed largely to the fact that
they are of, by and for the men who
wore the blue. The badge, button and
sheopskin not only give you the liberty
of the camp but they are passports
into the very hearts OF the "bOys";
they are letters Of introduction that are
read before they are presented; they
admit you to full fellowship without
initiation; they give you proprietary
interest to every thing belonging to or
under control Of the association; they
are the "Open sesame" 10 everything
10 tho reunion and the moment an old
soldier or sailor enters the lines Of the
camp he feels that he is in the midst
of friends whose interests, whose cor.
dial greetings come straight from q
loyal heart that beats in unison and
harmony with his own; he notes the
absence of cold formalities, regard for
former rank, rel-tapsim and unneces-
airy discipline and appreciates the fact
that the successful management Of the
great gatherings rests wholly "upon
the honor Of q soldier" whose pride IN
the organization prompts him to a
strict obedience to orders and the rules
Of the association, and renders rigid
discipline unnecessary. This is the
secret OF our success IN the past and !
assure you the same line Of policy will
be followed in the future. Prof1ting
from past experience shall endeavor
to keep tho coming reunion as free
from Objectionable features as my lin
tied authority will permit and ask
every soldier and soldiers friend TO
support me IN so doing. Again re-

Topeka Capital: No western state
can boast more magnificent prospect
in wealth Of crops than Kansas. The
splendid young giant Of the prairies, in
its valleys and on its uplands, every
where promises q bountiful crop.
Providence seems to smile upon our
fair land. The rains come when
and where they are most wanted, and
the propitious sunshine waited upon
the harvesters while the millions of
bushels of wheat were saved to feed
tho multitude. The fields of luxuriant
corn, rich in color and strong in
growth, encourage the farmer, while
the innumerabls cattle on q thousand
hills grow into wealth. The song Of
the husbandman is full Of hope, aud
sunny Kansas, with all it's vicissitudes,
brings to him who labors and waits q
rich reward. The homes Of FOUR people
improve each year; our school houses
are filed with our healthy boys and
girls, working with the inspiration of
tho incompatible west. 1t is here we
are to build the ideal common wealth
of the nation; here TO combine in the
state and the people the best of the new
and the old communities. Kansas,
the central state of this great republic,
will be strong in the intelligence and
character of its people and its wealth,
beyond the dreams Of the present gen.
