PRACTICABILITY OFl)A3tliT5'Cf fltt KAW, We learn. tlxt Holland Wheeler JUr. twtet partial exxtveja of the Kansal mer, tinder instructions of. -the reference to the proposed water power. He has ascertained, by taking JeVela for five miles commencing a above the bridge, that the fall is at the rate of a foot and a half per or even feet and a half in the This fall, it seems toriM-ii satisfactory for the object of improving the, Ijower.

Good engineers say that a dam six feet high is all that ia required, and that with turbine wheels an immense power can be secured. i This fall would Bhow, that even if the rise of the water by the dam were equal to the height of the dam (and nobody will pretend tiiat, with any knowledge upon the subject), it would only back the water up four miles, the; depth of the water being proportionately laa far as it was backed r'' U' A look at the river now will convince aoy one that a six-feet dam will not raise the water four feet, By a six-feet dam is meant six feet above low-water mark. Going over last evening, we asked Mr. Patty, the toll-keeper of the bridge, How much is the Kaw above low-water mark He replied, Five feet." Now, let any citizen go and look at the river. The sand bar above the bridge, nearly a fourth of the distance across the river ia bareAt Tow-water mark, not half of river bed is cov ered, so that a sheet of water the width of the dam all the way across the river will absolutely not raise the river at any point above the dam more three feet.

We suppose it will hardly be con troverted, that six feet in depth of wa ter, three hundred and fifty 'feet wide, will not oocupv more than three feel feet deep in a stream seven hundred feet wide all other things being equal. If this be true, a six-feet danx will not drive the water back moto than two miles inordinary stages." I This question of water power is -too much importance to be looked at lightly. The natural advantages given us must be cultivated. We have ia the Kansas river a source of wealth unpar alleled by any city west of J-he Mississippi now often we hear Kjor my travels East, I passed a dozen thriving places where water power Tike that of the Kaw built them up taities." We can see them all -along such streams as Scioto and Muskingum, in Ohio, and every man of any observation can recall recollections of some city which has sprung up within a few years without any other advantages than its motive power. Let our business men never cease prosentiDi? facts till the necessary capital is.

THE SAC FOX As our readers are' already-iware, the I ate "treaty with the Fex' Indians provides that the trust lands be immediately opened to settlement, 'at' the land office, at Topeka, Kansas', at per acre. Representative Clarke called the attention of the Secretary of the Interior to this subject, at the commencement of the session, and has- repeatedly urged the but for1 some unac-countable reason the Secretary has thus far refused to put the lands in market, and the settlers who--occupy the same, and those who are desirous of doing so, are left in doubt and uncertainty, and are justly fearful that they may yet be made the victims of the land monopolists. We are glad to see by the Globe of the 13th that Mr. Clarke, has in voked the aid of the House in behalf of the settlers, by securing thepa8sagetof the following resolution Whereas, By' the provisions of a treaty between the.

United, States Twith the tribe of Sao Fox Indians of the 'Mississippi, proclaimed October 14, 1868, it is provided that certain lands known as "trust lands," should, immediately upoa the ratification of this treaty, become the property of the United States," and should be open to entry and settlement, and should be subject to all the laws and regulations CLOSING W.

We gave, last week, the particulars, taken from the Chetopa Advance, of the murder, near Westralia, in Montgomery county, of a man named Parker, by two brothers named Qen, and a boy named Powell. The citizens of Chetopa appointed a committee of twenty-five cit izens to visit the scene ot the murder, thirty miles distant, to arrest the mur derers for trial. The editor of the Ad vance accompanied the party, and gives the following account of the finale of the affair On reaching Snow creek, some twen ty-five miles west of this place, the party went into camp about sundown, while a squad of six were dispatched in advance to apprise the citizens of oar coming, and arrange details for the arrest of the murderers. This party reached the vi cinity of Westralia-a little after dark, and just in time to hear the report and distinguish the flash of a volley of fire arms, and the rapid dispersion or a body of some fifty or more men, in the margin of timber just north of Wes tralia town site, pn Pumpkin creek. On riding up, they found the body of a man who was recognized to be Tom Oden.

Some eighteen buckshot had penetrated his head, neck and body, The dead body was carried to the near est house, where the intelligence was obtained that the Odens and the boy Powell had been arrested that morning, as they were attempting to recross the Verdigris, by a posse of armed men who, after their arrest, had decided to send them to the eivil authorities of Wilson county, and had designated a eruard of five men to conduct them there that the guard had proceeded to carry out their instructions that they had gone but about a mile when they were overpowered by about forty armed men, who ordered them the guard to run for their lives, which they did, leaving the prisoners to their mercy. We learned no further facts that night. No one knew what had become of the elder Oden and Powell. On the following day, however, the body of William Oden was found in the timber, some thirty rods from where his brother had been shot. 1 wo balls had pierced him through the head, and one through the spine.

Late in the day we learned that Powell shot in the thigh and lower extremities had escaped, and wounded, bleeding, with his hands tied behind his back, had swum Pumpkin creek and the Verdigris river, had run some four miles barefooted, over the frozen ground, on a cold night, and had sought refuge at the house of Captain Thompson, on' the other side of the erdisris. The river where he swam it, could not be less than fifteen rods in width, and a deep and rapid stream. There are few instances ot more des perate daring on record. Inasmuch as ho was a weak-minded boy, misled by the Odens, and probably only an acces sory in the murderous deed, it is perhaps well that he escaped with his life BY TELEGRAPH.

It was participated in by Messrs. Blaine, Price, Scofield, Phelps, Benton, Farnsworth and others. In the midst of the discussion, Mr. Butler obtained the floor, and final appeal to the House in favor of his amendment for the redaction of the army. He characterized the amend ment offered by Mr.

Blaine as a delusion. It only provided for a consolida tion as oiheers were reduced by death 6r court martial. There would not be by it a single dollar saved, or a single servant cut off; but the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Kelly), a new recruit, came here this forenoon and told the House it must trust Gen.

In reply to that, he would; say the Constitution puts it on the represen tatives of the people. Any gentleman who says he does not understand it, had oeuer learn or ero home he has no business here. It is'hjs duty to understand it. We have no business to come here if we do not know how to do the duties which the 'Constitution devolves upon us. Mr.

Blame, of Maine, made an earn est appeal to the House against the adoption: of Mr. Butler's amendment. He hoped the House would not vote to deprive Gen. Sherman of the chance to attain the rank of General of the Army, and that it would not deprive General Sheridan or General Thomas of the chance to attain the ''grade of Lieutenant. General, and would not render necessary the mustering out of Generals Meade or Hancock as Major Generals.

That would be the effect of the adoption of the amendment. The amendment which he (Blaine') had moved, just tied up the army, so that there should be no appointments or promotions until Congress could take hold 'of the whole and by this means, under ad ministration ot Gen. Grant the army could he very rapidly reduced After further debate the question was taken on the substitute offered last night by Mr. Blaine, for the conjoined amend ments of Messrs. and Butler.

The substitute was agreed to-v-1 11 to 64, and the bill passed. The Inauguration Ball. Washington, Feb 19.

He knew the party had rights, and he should not allow his per sonal feelings to interfere with these rights. Good Feature. Washington, Feb.
