The President has had a pleasant visit to Kansas, and has been cordially received at all points. Entering the State near its southeastern corner, he passed westward to Parson-, thence up the Neosho Valley to Emporia, thence westward up the Arkansas Valley to I Judge, and thence, by way of Topeka and Lawrence, to Leavenworth. His journey has enabled him to see a exeat deal of Kansas country. He has had an opportunity to examine its agricuPural rod cts at two Fairs, and we should judge that what DifKF.xs calls its "eloquential aspect has been presented to him, at every stopping place, in the siieeehes of; its Governor and numerous Mayors or 'iiairmeti of Reception Committees. And tlie Presidential party areevidently pleased with all they have seen.

At least their sj leeches indicate this, and we have no doubt these airly express the opinions of our distinguished visitors. The President's addresses have not been particularly profound or brilliant. They are rather off-hand pleasant, practical taiKs, abounding in gooo ncujor, compliment, ami congratulations upon the evident prosperity of the State and the Nation. Gen. Sherman has talked, as he always dies, with vigor, dash and enthusiasm, and has detailed some interesting reminiscences of his visits to Kansas mauv vear airo.

iVfore the Territory was organized. Everything connected with the journey of the Presidential party through Kansas lias been enjoyable. The weather has been fine, and the people have gladly irreeud their distinguished guests, and paid them all ihe respect and honor due to their exalted positions. And the visitors, on the other hand, have gratefully acknowledged their appreciation of the lie IMl ilOJl guru iuc vn- world-wide advertisement. It is said that Kansas is the best advertised State in the 1 nion, and so jt is.

But it is alwas doing something wot-thy of advertising, When iu people stood upon the picket-line, fighting for Freedom, their cause enlist, the sympathies of the civilized world. When they sent lo the war more soldiers, in proportion to population, than any Male in the Union, they advertised their courage and loyalty. In dotting every valley and prairie swell with schoiil-houses, they have advertised their devotion to popular education. The extraordinary development pf the SiHie has ad? vertised its fertility and its enterprise. Nearly three thousand miles of railway advertise the remarkable growth of it carrying trade.

Kansas comieled with all tlie Niiuons of the world at Philadelphia, and won the prize for its products. Its harvest- of ls7S advertised it as the greatest lieat and corn producing State in the Fnion. It has been advertised by liorder wars, by drouth, by grasshopper invasions, bv Indian forays, by the exodtr, by the i 'enteiinial, by the largest crops ever produced on the continent, by a growth that is phenomenal even this country, by its railroads, its nchooli, iu churches, and its newspapers. And finally, the President is only one of a long line nf distinguished men who have visited Kansas, or resided here. President Lincoln was here in 1 Mr.

Seward in 1-SdO, and General Grant paid the State several visits during his Presidential term. Gen. Sherman lived in Kansas atone time, and hundreds of the most ijistimfijished men this country has ever produced have vis- i(e, during the past quarter of a Presidents Pierce and Bl'- of E.i nth 4 ii ii lair I iue Soldiers lU'-l ion Nearly l.c)-il Stale Represented.

Tiie attendance throughout was gornl, ranging from one to five thon-and, on the several VEoirrAiw.Es.

HEATH OF M. J. IWYLE Otir citizens were surprised, yesteilay morning, to hear of the death of Michael J. DOYIX. He was sick only two days, andhad hardly been missed in his accustomed avocations when his death was announced.

Mr. Doyle was one of the oldest residents of our city. He located in Atchison twenty-four years ago, and engaged in mercantile pursuits. About ISM he retired from business, but two years ago he again established himself in the grocery trade. He was a man of exem plary habits, strict integrity and blameless life.

He gave close attention to his business, and had accumulated a comfortable property by industry and frugality. Mr. Doyle leaves a devoted wife to mourn his death. He had no children. The funeral will occur at three o'clock to-day, from the Late residence of tlie ileceased, on Kansas Aranue.

CoMMENTixn on the quarter centennial celebration of Kansas, the Pittsburg fsaihr says To-day she represents more wealth and population than Ireland after a thousand years of existence, and has more reasonable expectations for the near future than any of the smaller king doms of Europe.

Centennials and mil-lennials are well enough to measure the snail-like progress of nations that have got their grow th and are even in their decline. But quarter centennials are scarcely close enough together to mark the giant strides of such a community as that of Kansas." The Topeka correspondent of the Kansas City Journal says that when Wirt. Walton, clerk of the House, testified before the Senatorial Committee that there were two or three members who had failed to return his posts! cards sect out to inquire their ages, religion, politics, and consequently he could not positively say what their politics were, a leading lawyer for the defense suggested, in an undertone, that "they must be an added, with a wink at Senator Loi.an, not being able to read, they mistook the postal cards for railroad passes amd pocketed them."

The prosecution is not leing veryskla-fully managed.

Ih. as his idea of the best government, one which imposed equal burdens and equal duties, and secured equal rights, equal privileges, equal power, and universal suf frage. The nianv, he uud. were always wiser and better than the few everybody is better than anybody. He declared that the history of the human race revealed no instance where the many had denied any civil or political rights to the lew.

Ou the contrary, history was a long record of attempts on the part of the few to usurp the rights aud power which belonged to the many, and at the same time to evade the burdens and duties which should at tach to all alike. If there was any place in the world where universal suffrage ought to be a failure, it was in New York city, which is at once the largest Irish city in the world, the largest Hebrew city in the world, the largest German city, with one exception, in the world, and the largest Kthopian city in the world. Vet the wretched government of that city was not attributable to universal suffrage, but to a denial of it to a persistent attempt, on the part of the few, to deny the rights of the many. In other words, no trouble has come to that city from the legal votes of the many the bad government and the corruptions in New York came from illegal votes polled by the few from the few who count votes not cast, and refuse to count the votes honestly cast. Among the powers and duties of good government ien.

Bi ti.er declared that none ranked higher than the duty and power of protecting its own citizens. The humblest and poorest citizen of this Ke-publjc can travel anywhere abroad with the full assurance that all the authority and power of the government will be exerted to protect and defend him against wrong and injustice, either to his person or his property. There was nothing in the Constitution which, iu explicit terms, declared it to be the duty of the Government to do this. Hut it was a solemn duty, nevertheless, and had always been rigidly and fearlessly asserted and performed. The Nation had the same right, and it was equally its duty, to pro tect its citizens at home in Mississippi as well as in Illinois, in Louisiana as well as iu New York.

If it failed to do this, it was not a good Government. The Government had the right, and it was its impei stive duty, to see that every American citizen, white or black, was fully protected in the enjoyment of all his civil and iiolitieal rights, anywhere under the lag. I would see to it," said the Gen eral, "and I would find authority in the Constitution for the exercise of such a luty, or if 1 could not fiud it there I would find it in that unwritten law which the essence, the vital spirit of all good Government." Our Government imposes certain burdens upon all of its citizens. if it is attacked by foreign or internal foes, it can call upon all of its citizens to protect it, to defend its authority, and to uphold its laws. It is absurd to say that the imposition, by the Government, of such duties and burdens upon its citizens does not imply that the Government is equally and solemnly bound to protect the life, property and rights of its citizens, home or abroad.

We heard this speech, and listened to it with decided interest ancj satisfaction. We give but a meagre outline of it, but our synopsis is sufficient to show that upon the issues which stalwart Republicans everywhere regard as the paramount questions of the hour, Gen. Butler is as earnest a Republican as there is in the land a truer and better Republican than thousands of those who delight in assailing his utterances and denouncing his political course. JAMES REOPAT1I. The relatives and intimate friends of James Ked path scout the idea of his insanity, or that he has committed suicide, and have apparently much faith that he will reappear shortly.

They say his disappearance is nothing new, hehavingdone similar things before, once going to Europe unknown to a single acquaintance. Exchange. Reppath was a queer compound. He was nervous, euergetic, eccentric in sjeech i.nd action, restless, ambitious, and never satisfied with yhat he was doing. He came to Kansas in IS-Vi, as the correspondent of the St.

Louis Democrat. He an Englishman, and was a pronounced Abolitionist. He had the courage of convictions, but lacked physical pluck. He was employed, during the Kansas struggle, the correspondent of several eastern journals, and his letters were exceedingly interesting and vigorous. As a writer he was crisp, pungent and witty, and his command of polite invective was very decided.

Iu the fall of 1 v7, at the suggestion of Gen. Lane, he established a weekly paper in the neighboring town of Doniphan. It was called the Crnaler of Freedom. The writer was employed upon it, for several months, as a printer. We understood that Gen.

Lane promised Red-path pecuniary assistance to support his journal, but failed to keep his promise. Jmne was generally impecunious, ani it is remarkable that Keueath, who knew him well, ever trusted him. The Crusader was first friendly to Lane, but a quarrel soon ensued between its editor and the "Grim Chieftain," and thereafter Red-path fiercely denounced Lane. One of Redpath's intimate friends, after Ids quarrel with Lane, was a man named Shepherd, then living in Doniphan, and somewhat noted in Kansas as the man who shot one Sherrard, a pro-slavery man, at Lecompton, some time before. Shepherd was a violent hater of Lane.

He did much to poison Red-path's mind ttrainst Lane. Redpath left Kansas in the summer of ISoS. He was a devoted frieud and admirer of John Brown, and was, it is believed, familiar with Brown's scheme for the invasion of Virginia. During the war he was employed on several Eastern papers. Several years ago organized his Lyceum which was a decided success.

On Tuesday wheat advanced from two to three cents ovr the highest quotations of the day previous. For present delivery, the prices reached The unfavorable reports by cable as to the crops in Fiance and the deficiency in Great Britain gave prices a firmer upward tendency.

Pork also advanced about 25c per barrel, selling from cash and ctober delivery. A Jondon dispatch states that the Mar: J.atf the English grain authority, reorts that in England much grain has been stacked iu such condition as renders sprouting almost inevitable, and that id Scotland the outlook is most gloomy. Thecrep is backward, the fields being yet green, and the season is now so far advanced that the prospect of the crop maturing is reduced to a minimum. With this prospect, there has been au upward movement, an advance ot two shillings per having been maintained for the past week, with a strong speculative tendency prevailing. The Paris Bulletin ea llilfe reports the new wheat threshed so far unsatisfactory iu yield and quality, aud deficient even in the districts where it was expected to be favorable.

In several depart ments new wheat brought trom three to four francs per quintal less than the old, some of it requiring several months' drying before it can He milled. The grain and breadstuffs exKirts from New York for the past week were almost unprecedented. They included bushels of wheat, bushels of corn, bushels of rye, and bar rels of flour. The figures imlicate the mighty vol uje of the- business boom that has io. These facts account for the steady advance in the prices of all breadstutfsdur- ing the past two weeks.

The Encyclopaedia Britannim, under th? article "Army," awarded the palm of superiority to our republic in the words copied below The military history of ihe I'ni ed States as utrange as the ne and rapid growth of rhe nation. Iu 1790 the rank and file of the army, as fixed by act of Congress, amounted to 1,21 men and in 1SI4 an English expedition of only men was able to seize and burn Washington, the capital of a country, which even then numbered 8,000 of inhabitants. In at the commencement of the war of the secession, the whole regular force amounted to oniy men.

In April of that year the President called out volunteers for three months to defend the capital, which was threatened and in a further call fur i'-Vtw was made, lu July two calls for fiOU.tMjti each were authorized by Congress, and, a even that vast force proved insufficient for the gigantic niggle which America had no embarked in, it was found ueeessary to introduce the conscription. In October, IStJ-'t, a levy of men was ordered, and in February, IHo-1, a further call of was made.
