in point of ability. There is enough old members to keep things straight till the new ones get posted. I think the present House is ahead of any heretofore in having officers qualified to do their wor. Under the plan of choosing officers in vauge in Kansas, it is an accident, if good clerks are selected, and this I believe to be the lucky year. The chief clerk should seleet all of the minor clerks, and then be held responsible for their faithful preformauee of their duties.

When they are elected by the members, the chief clerk, although held responsible, really has little control over them. To judge from present appeareutes, this Legislature will attend to the duties for which they were elected, and but little time will be spent in log rolling for schemes that are of doubtful utility. Ol'course visionary men will try to get some of their crotchets engrafted upon our Statutes, but ui good seus of die majority will, I think, defeat unwise and expensive legislation. Corporations, as such, will not find this Legislature easily handled, for the purpose of advancing tlieir interests as agams those of the people. Thus far I see no evidence that the great eoporations will endeavor to exflect legislation in an injurious manner.

The Lower House of the present Legislature, iff am any judge, is inteusly Anti-Poincroy. If an election of United states Senator was to come oil" this winter Mr. Pomeroy's vote would be very small indeed. By the way. the general feeling here is that Mr.

Pomeroy made a grave mistake in his Open Letter" to you. There are but few men who believe a word of hi statement, as to the amount of his property. Iu fact fifs bfsr friends boot at the idea of his being worth but S7o.000, and Vy tbat Tor him to make such a statement, but confirms what his opponents say when they call him the premium liar of Kansas but is there not intelligence enough in Kansas to-combine the opposition to him. and defeat the money that he will put into the canvass next year. That the people are opposed to him is universely conceded, but there is a well grounded fear that as usual when a Senator is to be elected, ajclassof" mercenary politicians," will secure an election to the Legislature next wint rof a.m ijority who will take his monev and vote for him.

The only way to defeat him in my opinion is an organization of the best men of the State, for that purpose, who will see to it, that members of the Legislature SHte elected pledged against hiin, but not in the interest of any other candidate. If this is done, when the Legislature convenes, some honest, able man can be agreed upon and his defeat secured. Topeka is gay as tisti 1 this term. This gay-ety takgs tl.e forai of dancing parlies. The old plan of festivet.s of all kinds has lost its charm, and dancing parties take their place- Thc ladies give a Year Masqureade" party in the Onera House next Monday, which just now keeps them all on the qui vive.

Kansas, and another from Cherryvale to Independence, Montgomery county, making 2i8 in les. The Company has a grant of land, consisting of about 500,000 acres, which they now otter lor sale at lair prices and on easy terms. LOCATION OF THE LAXDS. These lands are situated along the line of ie road, for twenty miles on cimer side, and are located lor DOe most part in tlie counties of Franklin, Anderson, Alien.

Neosho and Labette. These counties constitute the second tier west an! twenty io forty miles distant from the Mi-soun border. In regard to climate and seasons they are iu every respe.t similar to south western Missouri, and" to souta-eru Kentucky and norliiein Tennessee, being about the latitude of Nashville and Bowiiug Green. CHARACTER OF THE -SURFACE. The general character of the surface is that el smootn and level or moderately rolling prairie, diversitied bv occasional mounds and ridges, and intersected by numerous streams, among which are the Marias des Cynge or Osage, the various brandies of the the Neosho.

the second longest stream in ibe with its numerous tributaries, the Labette and Verdigris and their tributaries. All these are clear streams, flowing rapidly over rocky or gravelly beds, and-in the values ot all are wide rich bottoms, and bodies of excellent timber from a quarter of mile to a mile or more in width. CHARACTER OF THE SOIL. The soil over this entire region, with slight exceptions, is a rich, dark colored loam, on the higher lands inclining to fed or mulatto, such as in Missouri and Kentucky is considered superior hemp land. It varies in depth from a loot or two on the high lands to ten or twelve feet oh tin- botlonis.

uiid is underlaid by slielly limestone, or rich, calcarioiis clay, containing inexhaustible stores ot fertility, which only require to Ie, brought to the surface to renew tiie soiiduri.ig a century of -cultivation FROHLCTIOXS. From this description of the soil, any farmer will say that it is adapted to the production of all tiie gras-. s. vegetables, grains and fruits indigenous to this latitude, ami in their greatest perfection and the experience of fifteen years "Of very imperfect cultivation proveS lbis to be eminently true. Corn, here, as in thi- entire belt of country from Virginia to Kansas, is a staple production, and.

owing to the length of tne growing season, is of very superior quality. Wheat is, al-o. extensively grown, and. with proper cultivation, seldom fails while oats is a surer rop than in anv other State, not having made even a partial failure since KjfiU. Ail vegetables do well, especially potatoes, which invariably yield good crops of excellent quality and have ever been attacked by the bugs.

As for fruits, judging froin these alone, this might have been the garden of Eden, and some of these streams the river Euphrates. At any rate every variety. apples, pears, peaches, grapes ami small trull. grow luxuriantly and attain their highest: perfection. Peaches may partially fail once in four or live years, other fruits never.

FUEL, FFNCIXG AND RUII.THXr, The ultimate fence for this country will be hedges, or what is better, though not so ornamental, stone wa Is. 't he first succeeds admirably, ami for the last, stone is found nicely stowed away in some spot on almost, every quarter section. For a temporary fence till hedges can be grown, wire is verv cheap and tfective. For building purposes, such are the facilities for transportation by the various lines of railroads passing through or near these lands, that pine is the cheapest and most available material, unless one prefers a stone building, ihe material for which is abundant and of the best quality. PRICES AND TBRMS OF SALE.

farmofMr.JohiiClayis.in my opinion, the brightest spot in the valley. While passing over this portion of the countv, I could not help thinking how hard it was for the settlers just opening farms at a great expense of time, labor and money, to be burdened with anv unnecessary tax. and our late Board of County Commissioners have made that tax nearly equal to the other. Greet indignation exists among the larmers at the course of the Board in retaining their lucrative position, for another year, and many express themselves in this wise If the Commissioners won't go out when elected out, I am in favor of an organi-z it ion to wait upon them and ordering them it." I am not in favor of harsh measures but think that all officials should subserve the pressed will of the people. In the due course of time I reached EXN1SVILLE.

which, wben the south line of the State was run. was left three quarters of a mile the is-to-be territory of Oklahoma. This town (excepting the sitk) will be moved to Cana. and the business men of both places will be benefitted by the change. Mr.

G. It. Ennis expects to hare his hotel in running order, at the latter place, in a short time, and all travellers that stop with him will find it a traveller's home. About one and a half miles north of Ennisville is CANA, another small thriving place in Montgomery county. The prominent business men here are the Smith both live, energetic men.

Leaving this pl. ee I took the road to ST. PAUL, and after experiencing some difficulty in crossing tho little Caney, (I will add here, that Montgomery and Howard counties ought to unite torc-es and build a bridge here, as it is about on the division line. also as the State road crosses here) I reached the place. It occupies a beautiful position in the valley, and is the most picturesque illage I have seen for a long time.

Our enterprising Druggists of Cofleyville, Messrs. Guest have a branch store here and are doing a good business. Mr. J. II.

Tiffin is kept busy doing up groceries for a large number of customers. But while here the traveller ongh'nt to leave without stopping at the Nuekall's House, and getting one of those excellent meals for which this house has a wide reputation. Late in the alternoon I left, and that night partook of the kind hospitality of Dr. in. Floyd.

Early next morning I reached rEitr. the county seat of Howard county, sometimes known as Belleville. This place contains about 0)0 inhabitants, alive and wide awake to their interests. Here is a splendid opening for new spa er nun. As it is the county seat, the county printing could be secured, and the business men are very anxious for one, and would do their utmost to sustain it.

Some person contemplating starting a newspaper would find it to his interest to talk with the people of this place on the subject. Tlere I found T. M. Concannon, formerly of Cofleyville, busilv engaged in the Photograph busi. Beat.

He advertises to take babies and other produce, in exchange tor pictures, and this being a productive country, he expects to be able in the Spring to furnish newly married people with a complete outfit. This place is doing nobly in the cause of education, having built a large line school house, surmounted by an excellent sounding bed. J. J. Stearns is fltting up a building in a neat and comfortable manner for a hotel, which will be known as the Sherman House, where persons will find as good accommodations as any hotel io Kansas.

I had a pleasant chat with Mr. D. B. Kceny, one of the first settlers and at present a member of the town company. The prominent business men oi this place are Cunningham Hardware ami Groceries, the Endicott and L.

F. Symmes. Druggists. L. B.

Close, Groceries, W. S. Lud-dington. Jewe ler, and all are doing a thriving business. Messrs.

Milton, Fay and Light represent the legal fraternity. J. B. Elcook is doing an extensive Banking business, but soon starts on a three month's visit to Pennsylvania, and on his return will do a more extensive business. Howard county has more than its share of hills, although It contains many tine farms.

It is better adapted to stock-raising, as it is well supplied with good living water. The county is ones of the largest in the State, being forty-two miles north and and thirty-one east and west. The Legislature will be petitioned to divide the county into two counties, each twenty-one by thirty-one miles, and it is thought the measure will be successful. L. K.

There was some considerable improvement in the local demand, yet business in that direction was not as large as could be desired.

In view of the liberal supply of common to lair butcher' stock placed on sale, and for such stock prices were little, if any, better than on the preceding week. There was just a moderate inquiry lor stock steers, a few droves being taken by State feeders, and also a few lots went to Indiana and Ohio. If we accept something oi an over supply of butchers' stock and stock steers, the receipts of the week, although very liberal lor tne season, were quite readily disposed of at quotations.

With the beginning of the year 1872, The "Weekly ban will be its present size, and wid contain eight pages instead of lour, making it equal in dimensions to any other weekly secul ir journal n'dished iu tins country. At the same time its price will not be increased. It will be furnished to subscribers at the uniform rate of one dollar a year for each copy. To this rate no exception will be made ami no reduction will be possible, either to clubs or agents. Every subscriber who sends us a dollar will receive a copy.

While the Weekly Sun will furnish as much reading matter as 'other papers furnished at double or treble the price, it will contain new features, which will add greatly to its interest and value as a family newspaper Its independence of opinion, audits unqualified hostility to Tweedism and Giantism, and every form of public robbery, bribery, and corruption, will be maintained, while poi ut political news its reade.s may rely upon always receiving the most accurate as well as tlie freshest intelligence that can possibly be obtained. The enlargment will enable us to devote additional space to valuable agricuitui al intelligence, and print iiiterestii stories and romances more extensively than hitherto. For miscellaneous reading presenting the quaint and humorous aspects of life, and for geuful information respecting not only what takes place in this metropolis ami this country but in all other parts of t8e Wbrld. we shall now have ample room.

The condition of this market is unvaried with ices remaining quiet and unchanged from following quotations.

The market remains without animation, and receipts either by rail or otherwise are light. The principal buyers are tlie millers, who continue t' purchase lots desirable for special brands. Prices are ruling steady without mueh variation from former reports.

Offerings are light by rail, although on the contrary, pretty liberai receipts are reported by wagon.

January IS, 1872. During the past week trade has been good, and a slight improvement on the previous one. The number of country merchants, who have visited the city for the' purpose of purchasing stocks of goods, has been noticeable. There has been a slight advance in dry goods. Other markets outside of cereals remain unchanged.

Receipts ol wheat have been light and the market inactive. There has been a large am mnt of corn received here, which served to lessen demand. Prices remain about the same. Business in Barley has been mostly confined to brewers, but there are many hold 1:30 a. m.
