THE COUNTY STATEMENT.
i
Wo presume that by this time our readers
have rarefully examlnel the Cuntv state-
.rot which h unusually clear and explicit,
Its., readily explains Itself that wo shall
only call attention to a few points.
In the first place it will bo observed that
of the taxes .messed for 1877, over one-half
remains unpaid. This Is all
County is paving Interest on bonds and on
mousy borrowed from Hanks, when there Is
due it for 1877 over $19,000, and from
1S73 h 1877 over $.1700. It is not fair that
lliose who pay their taxes promptly, should
Miller for tho negligence of others. Much
(it ll;l evil comes from tho selection of in-
competent collectors,-men who are generally
chosen with mora referenco to their pat or
prnipectlvo political tcrvice lu the com

We al-o think the payment of MM, to
Mr. Comly for Jail argument, should have
eomo out of the Commissioner s pockets, as
it was their suit, and not the pooples. He-
side the County has already an able attorney
who works an entire year lor the same sum
iu was paid Mr. Comly for one suit.
Itut upon the whole, the Statement makes
a fair showing considering the new Jail ex
penses, aud the unusual Court expenses.
The Iteturnins Board Conviction.
The conviction of General Thomas C,
Anderson, a member of the Louisiana Re-
turnlnir Board, marks another and the first
ImporUnt step in the onward march of retri-
bution aeainst the infamousconspirators who
fraudulently manipulated the returns of
election aud falsely certified the result in
favor of the Hayes electors. The ofl'ense of
which General Anderson Is convicted was
the greatest crime in the political history of
the country, committed, ns it was. without a
palliating condition, and powerful as it was
for evil in example as well as In immediate
effect, and any other result of the trial that
has iust closed In New Orleans would have
been a travesty of justice and a lasting re-
preach to American civilization. The crime I
was not committed in any corner ; it was
seen and known of all men. Some of the
most eminent citizens of tt9 United States
were present, and. knowing the Infamy In I
progress, held their peace if they did not
actually encouraee its perpetration and as-
sure the criminal's of protection. Others of
equal eminence viewed tho proceedings with
diseust and published them to the world
with Indiunant nrotests. Everybody now
knows that Louisiana voted for Tildec and
was counted for Hayes, and that the men
who thus perverted the will of the people,
la utter defiance of tiie real figures, were
Thomas O. Anderson and his associates. It
is idle to pretend that such men are entitled
to Immunity and absurd to say that the
legal proceedings against them have any of
the characteristics of a political persecution
Sufficient time has been allowed for the pas-
sions of the hour to be dissipated. Tliejury
that convicted Andernon was fairly chosen,
and embraced two colored men, and, per-
haps, other Republicans. He has been giv-
en a fair hearing, in the face of a (light that
constituted presumption of guilt, and no ono
who has followed tho testimony dare say that
any. other verdict could bo given by a sworn
conscience. We believe that a New York or
Philadelphia jury would have arrived at the
same conclusion. It was a just finding, and
justico demands that the penalty of the crime
shall be exacted, unless Executive clemency
shall intervene.
It is not to be regretted that Mr. J. Madi-
son Wells has determined upou a broader
line of defense tbau that proposed in behalf
of his colleague, Mr. Anderson. Mr. Wells
proposes to make the issue so broad, indeed,
that it may be made to cover not only his
own personal and official responsibility lor
tho acts of the Returning Board, but lnci-
dentally the whole question of the legality
of the canvass made by the board in so far
as it affects the State and rederal admlnis-
trations seated through its iustrumeutality.
The issue will, of course, be made on a plea
to the jurisdiction of Judge Whitaker's
court, which is the creation of the Nicholls
government. This involves the position
that Louisiana has uot the republican form
of government guaranteed by the Constltu-
tlon, aud that Packard anil the Hayes elec-
tors, were duly chosen at the election in No-
vember, 1870. Wells thus makes common
cause with the present incumbent of the
White House and hopes to manufacture new
claims upon tho sympathy and support of
the national administration and the tiatioual
Republican party. If the court decides
ngaluit him that decision will, in the opln-
Ion of his legal advisers, carry with it the
decision that tho Hayes electors are lraudu-
lent and had no standing, auu inai mo lute
of Mr. Hayes to the Presidency is conse
iiuently invalid. Whatever the decision ol
Judge Whitaker the case will bo taken to
the Supreme Court of the United States,
whose opinion on the legal points Involved
is well worth the trouble, regardless of tho
purposes of Mr. Wells. This good, although
unfortunate, man should remember,however
that the title of Mr. Hayes rets now not so
much upon the validity of the fraudulent
electoral certificates from Louisiana as upon
the act creating tho electoral Commission
and making It a finality, an act to the con
stitutionality of which a majority of the
iiiembew of the Supreme Court aro fully
.committed. He may magnify his own cause
And secure an Important legal decision con

The Houso Committee on Ways and
Means is making considerable progress in ex.
amlning the new tariff bill of Mr. Wood.
So far, greatly to the delight of that gentle
man, tho bill meets with tho almost unam
"PP"1 of 'ho Committee.
It is
hardly to bo exposted, perhaps, that a single
session will bo sufficient timo for both Houses
to discuss and pass so comprehensive a uicas'
ure, but it is evident that there is a strong
disposition to hasten action as much as pov
sible. The distinguishing feature of Mr.
Wood's bill is the simplicity it introduces in
to a subject heretofore very much comphcat
cd.It practically repeals tho patchwork leg
islation of the past.
After a few more speeches the Senate will
voto on the silver bill. Davis, of West Va
Conkling, and Jones of Nevada, are all those
who aro announced for speeches. Mr. Hayes
causes it to bolannounccd that he believes in
what ho .calls '"the old whig doctrine" that
veto power should uot bo exercised except
to prevent a violation of the Constitution. If
that "old whir party is responsible for all
tho twisting and turning of Mr. Hayes on
this aud other subjects the evil that it docs
after death is greater than what it could have
done before death.
In an interview on Saturday, Mr. Hayes
entered into an elahorato discussion of his
Southern appointments.oxcusing the selection
he had made of a few Democrats for office
tho most creditable ones he has made by
tho way.
It is now well understood that hereafter no
man not a Republican will receive office by
appointment from Mr. Hayes.

At the ripe old age of 86 I'io Nono, tho
Pontifex Maximus of the Uomau Catholic
church, passed into eternity. Perhaps no
PontilT ever enjoyed a larger share of the re
8pect and affection of the members of the
Catholic Church than l'io Nono. For thir-
ty-two years he stood at its head, a model of
gentleness, benevolence and Christian char
acter, and the happy influence excited by
him was felt throughout the entire Church.
He was essentially an honest man, and al
though during his prolonged Pontificate he
was frequently called upon to encounter tri
8Is of the seerest character, and was sub'
jectcd to the sharpest criticisms of hisadver
saries, ho maintained throughout the deport
ment of a man eminently fitted for tho (lis
charge of the immensely responsible duties
with which he was intrusted, and the world
at large was not slow to recognize these no'
ble traits In his character. Large-hearted in
every sense of the term, he endeared himself
to all with whom he came in contact.or who
were familiar with his many good deeds. He
was essentially a great and good man, a title
which only bigoted religionists who differ
with him in their theological views will re
fuse.
The aged Pontiff has passed away bearing
with him tho respect and esteem of all who
have hearts big enough to appreciate true
worth at its proper value. In his death the
I Catholic church has suffered a severe loss,
I which will bo uoue the lees severely felt be'
cause it is not absolutely irreparable. It
may not be fortunate enough to secure a sue
cessor whose life will be as positively pure
and blameless as was that of him who now
lies dead at Rome, but the wisdom which
has guided the Catholic church in the seleC'
tlon of its head in the past will not bo like
y to desert it now. Who will be his sue
cessor must for the present be left to con
lecture. Let us. for tho sake of humanity,
benevolence and Christianity, hope that he
may be as worthy tshis predecessor. J'hita.

In the death of Gideon Welles, at a com
paratively advanced age, the nation loses
another of the living licks that bind it close
ly to the period of the civil war. Mr.
Welles was not a man of genius, he was not
even a man of rare talents, but it fell to bis
lot in the order of Providence to bear a
promic cut part in the councils of the admin
Istratlon that bore the Union on its should
ers through the times that threatened iU
destruction. Of the eight persons who first
shared the confidence of Lincoln as mem
hereof the Executive touucil in those dark
days, Mr. Welles, although one of the oldest
was nearly the last to leave the stage. His
greater colleagues, Seward, Stanton and
Cnase, were uot permitted to live to see the
fruition of their labor and their hopes in
the thorough restoration of tho Union and
reconciliation of estranged sections that
came to us twelve years after the arms of re
bell Ion were grounded. Tho cltlcn whose
death Connecticut and tho whole country is
called upou to mourn to-day will uot have
ono of the highest niches in the temple of
fame, but he will aUays bo remembered as
an ardent loyalist ynd an h.onewt and useful

l'lrrsnuno, February 11. The passengers
on the express train on the l'an Handle
Railroad, which reached thU city yestsrday
morning at eight o'clock, met with a start'
llni aihenture. A dastardly scheme to de
stroy life nas averted by a beneficent Prov
idence. Thirteen miles outside of Xenla
'jayhawkcrs" had provided fur Bn extensive
railroad accident. Tho through mall car
from Cincinnati was known to be loaded
with four tons of valuable umll matter. The
express car had, directed to consignees,
$03.1,000 in coin. When the train left Xe
nla (at 11 o'clock Saturday night) thero was
a drizzling snow storm, which completed the
absolute darkness of a starW sky.
The train left Xenla forty minutes behind
regulation time. Coming out of the cut
thirteen miles this side ot that place, where
there was a level grade, the engineer threw
the throttle wide open to make up for lot
time. He was hardly out ol the gloom un
til his head light showed him an obstruction
on the track. Ho was upon it beforo he
could put his hand on the lever He re
versed the engine, whistled for brakes, and
in the same instant he was upon the mis'
placed tie : the englno was overturned and
he was a parboiled victim to his duty. The
train consisted of ono baggage and one ex
press car, two passenger and two sleeping
coaches. The passengers, about eighty in
number, were asleep.
After running about sixty yards, with the
tie between tho pony wheels, the rear truck
of the cngirio left the track on the edgo of
an embankment, and, turning over twice,
laid a perfect wreck at the bottom. Ed
Roberts, the engineer, Frank Gardiner, the
fireman, and H. McFarland went over the
embankment with the engine. McFarland
jumped as the engine turned and escaped in'
jury. Roberts froze to tho lever of his en
gine and went over with the wreck. Hi:
fireman stayed with him.
When the passengers recovered from their
fright sufficiently to go out upon the track
they found Roberts scalded under a bursted
steam pipe, and the fireman hsld by a cross
section of the cab. Both men were taken
out in an insensible condition. The fireman
suffered a dislocation of the collar bono and
Internal injuries of so serious a nature that
his life was despaired of. The sympathy of
the passengers centred upon the heroic engi
neer, who, while his life was burned out, re
mained firm to his trust, and who was found
insensible under the engine with his hand
glued to the throttle. The hand was burned
to tho bone. His flesh was actually flayed
from his body, but the skeleton of his hand
grasped the lever with the determination of
a death hold. His injuries are fatal. For
tunately the mail car next after the engine
was freighted so heavily that the momentum
of the locomotive was not strong enough to
carry it off the track. The devilish fiends
who projected this wholesale scheme of
slaughter so protected themselves against
discovery that, in tho moment of the com
pletion of their nefarious plan, they were
beyond the reach of immediate pursuit.

hare 80 acres of it in winter wheat, and expect
to sow the oilier 20 in spring wheat this montli

men go west," as 1 am sure it is a good one.
However a man cannot expect to get rich even
here without work. He must work and man
sge right in order to succeeeO, A young man
with a little money can very soon have a home
of his own here, though he cannot in the Hast,
Ten chances here for mo ley making to o:e i

n town and do not wish to exert theiuelves,
Tiiey think farming is too hard work. So it
n the eastern part of I'a., I agree, but here
Kansas farming la not near so nurd as we use
riding plows as well as riding cultivators, liar
rows, corn planters &c.
I have traveled in the last two years about
6000 miles East and West to and fro aud I have
not yet seen any place I fancied so well as the
Solomon Valley. The Mirror I ent you will
give you a full history of the valley describing
soil, climate Ac. 1 endorse the same as I find
this place just at described in the Mirror by the
editors. We have just any kind of land lying
n the county a man wants. Messrs Olnev Itros.
at Minneapolis, Kan., have for sale any kind,
hence can almost if not quite suit any luan, In
fact a man must be very particular if they can
not suit him in land. If any in-on wUhcs to
emigrate West, he willdoellby sending for
a copy of the Solomon Vallry Mirror which
tells them all about this country. Now is the
time to emigrate to this place. The new rail
road is to bo finished to M!nncaioles and the
cars to run by April 2nd 1878, hand is 'Demis
ing in valuation very fa-.l, hence the kooner a
man buys the cheaper he can get the laud, Em
igrants who have already located in the south
ern part of the state, uame up the valley last
fill, The consequence was, luey told their
property down there and bought here. Tills
county is very healthy. I am healthier this
Hummer than I ever was as far as 1 have
knottii. One team and man can here
raise from 12 to 150U bushels wheat besides
corn, barley, .Vc. A man who came here
two years ago and bought 320 acres of land
(railroad land) had tins last year over 2300
bushels of wheat and before harvest wheat was
up to l.f0 per bushel, and mill i t don't pay I
still hear some say, Now where is a fanner
that raised 2300 bushels of wheat iu one year in
Columbia county ?
Young men, why don't you come out and try
to make yourselves a nice home? This is the
place for you. loo many In the East. We have
room for thomands of you here; fur my. part 1
would say no Pennsylvania for me as far as
firiqlng goes, as this Is too tine a country to
be lying idle. Come out here and the sooner
you come the belter as the longer you delay the
more you will have tp pay for hud. I. always
said 1 never would farm, until I saw the Sol
owou Valley aud now I am satisfied that there
is t fortune to be made here 10 to 1 in the East,
) shall send you a copy of the Mirror which,
please Insert some of It In yogr paper so as to
give your renders some idea of the place where
we reside. I shall write again, erelong.
