THE STATE TICKET.

, The issue of Tin News has been de-

ferred until the last moment to enablehi to announce the nominations of theState Conyentlon. We clip the reportof the proceedings published In theRecord of this morning, which closedwith the nomination of Judge D. P.Lowe for Congress, about ten o'clocklast night, which is the .latest we couldobtain. This is glory enough for thisIssue. It Is sufficient to know that Sidney Clarke, Pomeroy, Specr & Co. didnot hare money enough to elect a Congressman for Kansas. " The people wereIn earnest, this time, and were determined that they would elect a Repretentative of their own choosing. liehas been nominated fairly. Pomeroydeclared his Intention to buy the nomination of Clarke, and carried bis check-book with him to Topeka for that pur--pose, but he mistook the character ofthe men he had to buy. He did not havemoney enough. The delegates votedtheir instructions unwaveringly, and anhonest man will go to Congress. "Hallelujah, praise ye the Lord."

THE CAPTURE OF N1P0LE0X.

The news of the surrender of Mac--Mahon's army at Sedan and the captureof Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was receired here, by letters from the Recordand Commonwealth editors. The interest mat is everywhere felt in the warfound here an Illustration. The news atfirst was received by the few Germansof the community as "too good to betrue," but "I do hope it is so," came upfrom the depths of not only every Ger-man heart, but of everyone to whom itwas told with a thrilling sense of an inward Inexpressible joy. "The war ispractically ended now," was the firstconsiderate expression that followed af-ter the manifestations of surprise andhappiness had subsided into a consider-ation of the situation and probable re-

sults of the war. But the late news donot indicate that the war is ended. ThePrussians are still marching ou to Paris,and the Parisians, amid their clamor fora Republic and the tumbling superstructures of the empire, are mustering theirforces and rallying to meet the invadersand vindicate the honor and pride ofthe nation so terribly wounded by thedefeat of the unscrupulous Emperor.At the outset King William declaredthat he did not make war against theFrench people, but against Napoleon,and we may hope that with the defeatof the Emperor, tho Prussian invasionwill only be prosecuted until their termsof capitulation shall be acceded to,ITowever the "power behind the throne,"Bismarck, may have some undiscovereddesigns upon France that may make itimpossible to capitulate on terms honorable to the French, and the war maynot be ended until the sympathies of theworld, heretofore on the side of Prus-sia against Napoleon, may be turned infavor of the French in their struggle forliberty which ever enlists the sympathies or too masses the world overagainst the aggression of Prussia underthe leadership of a king and the advocates of monarchical forms, which, combined with the interposition of otherEuropean governments from considera-tions of their own safety, will compelthe Prussians to close tht --ontcst onterms that a congress of nations maydetermine to be reasonable and just.But in any event, the dynasty of LouisNapoleon shall never be established, tothe great Joy of Americans in particu-lar, who are ardently wishing and joyously expecting that a "government ofthe people by the people for the people"hall rise in beauty and power from the

blood and ruins of despotism to blessthe earth. So mote it be.

THE BALANCE OF TOW ER.

Every circumstance in the policy ofany European government that hasevoked a manifestation of the antago-nistic relationship existing between thetrans-Atlant- ic powers has, from our ear-liest recollection, been made the occa-sion by American journals, great andsmall, to declare Europe on the verge ofa war that would likely involve thewhole continent, and deluge its citiesand color its streams with huraau blood.The past two years have been exceed-ingly prolific in this respect; and espec-ially at the beginning of the Franco-Prussia- n

war did we hear that eventswere propitious to bring about thelong told,anxiously looked-fo- r struggle.Napoleon III, ambitious and unscrupu-lous tyranical and hated, it was ear-nestly believed would oppress the peo-ple, whose eyes were already turned up-

on the great American Republic withan earnest desire to enjoy its system ofpolitical and religious liberty, untilthey should rise in their might, and un-der the inspiring sentiment of liberty,burl kings and emperors from theirthrones, and establish governments ac-

cording to the example furnished themby our own. How visionary and un-

reasonable were many of the long edit-orials written upon this subject, tho ed-

itors themselves may learn while wait-ing for the fulfillment of their prophe-cies. For three centuries it has been acontinual struggle in Europe to destroyor preserve the balance of power. Allthose nations have been directly inter-ested In the advancement or destructionof any other nation, and every govern-ment is affected by whatever is to theinterest or loss of any other. For thisreason they watch each other so jealous-ly. For this reason do they keep largestanding armies in time of peace. Theeffort to sustain this condition of affairsaccounts for the apparent barrenness ofall the wars that have been waged byEuopean nations. One nation or onegovernment is not allowed to dominateanother. ' Napoleon I attempted itand failed, Napoleon III has tried itand been defeated. He would havebeen defeated in his war with PrussiaIf it had required the interference ofevery European power. The protest-an- t

world was united in the wish forbis defeat. It has been accomplished bythe direct interposition of Prussianarms alone. His defeat has beenspeedy, overwhelming and humiliatingto his nation. France seems to be atthe mercy of the triumphant invaders.And now it is the desire of the neigh-boring nations that the war should end,and the Prussian armies will recede totheir own boundaries, or England,Austria and Russia will interpose tocheck the extension of Prussian author-ity, if she should undertake to use hertriumph to extend her dominion overthe French empire. It is not likely thatPrussia will take the responsibilityof involving all the European powersin a war, and when her terms of peace,which'must, to insure peace, be consider--!ed favorably by the neighboring gov-ernments, are adjusted, the war willcease between the two nations, andFrance will be left to patch up the rentsof war and popular strife within herborders as she can. If the cry of thepeople for a Republic shall prevail,Americans will say amen ; but unlessthe Napoleonic dynasty is supercededby a better and more liberal govern-ment the results of the war will simply

bo the terrible loss of human life, per-sonal suffering, and destruction of prop-erty iucident thereto, while the relativepower of the several governments willbe the same, to which the crownedheads of Europe will respond amen.The circumstances which have tendedto strengthen and advance the powerfulgovernments of Europe have not beenthe sheddiugof blood and the triumphsof war, but industry, intelligence andChristianity ; and whatever changes areto be hoped for concerning the king-doms of the old world they will mostlikely be accomplished by the purifyingand healing principles of virtue .andgeneral intelligence.

WALNUT VALLEY.Passing down the Walnut from Eldo

rndo the eye is greeted by laage bodiesof timber on one hand, while on theother we have the beautiful level bottom lands and gently sloping prairies,covered with a luxuriant growth ofprairie grass, except where the breakingplow of the settler has changed thegreen pastures to black, rich-lookin- g

grain fields.Hundreds of men within the last

year have forever ceased huntingclaims, and have decided to make thisvalley their homes. Everywhere thefreshly-turne- d land indicates the fresharrival of settlers, and great numbersof wagons and herds of cattle are continually passing over the road, eachtraveling toward their favorite part ofthe great Walnut Valley. The countryis well settled, but there is still roomfor thousands of others who are de&irous of obtaining cheap lands for homesin this most "beautiful Kansas."

In this valley, about five miles fromEldorado, is the residence of Y. S.Hughes. Mr. Hughes has only been lo-

cated here about one year. lie lias anexcellent farm near the river and has itwell improved. He planted an extensive orchard last spring on newly broken sod. The trees are nearly all living aud have a thrifty, growing lookThe grass here is very heavy. Muchhay is being made, and much more willbe put up than will bo consumed by thestock now here.

Twelve miles from Eldorado, nearthe junction of Walnut and Whitewater, is situated the thriving village of

AUGUSTA.

Few places in Kansas possess better locations than Augusta. Situated in thejunction of two valleys unsurpassed inbeauty aud fertility, with several othervalleys of less extent, the trade ofwhich will center here, they have abrilliant prospect before them. Thetrade of the place is good at the present.C. N. James and James & Manninghave each a good assortment of grocer-ies, dry goods, hardware, etc., for whichthey have a ready sale, and are continually increasing their stock to meet thearrowing demands of the country. Ter--man & McKitrick are doing a good bus-iness in the real estate line. G. II. La--Kettra is erecting a new building to beused as a law office. A large two-st- o

ry frame school house is being builtwhich, when completed, will be one ofthe best school buildings in the south-west. We called on A. A. Putnam, ed-itor of the Crescent, and foui d him firmin his own opinions, though to all out-ward appearances he was haunv andcontented.

THE OSAGE LAND OFFICEis located here. The books and some ofthe clerks have already arrived. Theregister and receiver will be here thisweek ana business will commence soon.

Between .Eldorndo and Eureka thefine four-hors- e coach of the "Old Reliable" Kansas Stage Company rattledrapidly over the "Flint Hills," as theuplands between the alnut and Fallrivers are called, to the utter discom-fort of tired, sleepy and naturally profane travelers. We arrived, at last, at

EUBEKA,the county seat of Greenwood county.we iouna an excellent uinuer providedfor us at the Eureka house, which littleaflair we immedately attended to. Du-ring our meal we were convinced thatMr. Cummins knows how to run thatdifficult and complicated machine ahotel. Eureka wae all excitement onthe question of railroad bonds. Thiswas the day of voting on $200,000bonds for the Kansas City, Burlingtonand Santa Fe railroad. In certain lo-calities the bonds were meeting withvery decided opposition and Eurekawas consequently rather busy.

During our limited stay in town wevisited Stoddard & Hoover, real estateand insurance agents; Olney & Sons,druggists ; and Garlick & Warr, hard-ware dealers. Found them all busy.The streets of Eureka present quite alively appearance. Much building isgoing on. A large building for a hotelis just completed, but is not yet occu-pied. . J. A. IL
