Shortly after the close ol Hie session, he was appointed reporter ol the supreme court, nnd continued to hold this position until be went Into Hie army in August, 1862. When authority lor the nilsing of Ibe eleventh Kansas cavalry was received, Col. Plumb actively Interested himself lu organizing that regiment, tor wliich lie raised two companies. He was llrsl commissioned as second lleulenunt, nnd successively promoted to be captain, major and lieutenant colonel.

One ol Hie oldetl aettlent of Kansas; auccettlui at a printer, an editor, a lawyer, a tolQier aud a banker; a legUlulor of large and valuable experience; liiU ol energy, Industry and courage, no one who knows bim will deny that Colonel Plumb will make a senator of whom no Kansan will have occasion to feel ashamed.

3l-4t The Gratthepiirr Quollen. D. EWS much has licen said and written on I lie grussiioppcr quesUon thai it is with considerable reluctance that I approach it now, nnd II the tact were not niuiiifest to us all. thnt we are culled upon individually uiid oolleeliveiy to face tiiat great problem, and contribute our part towards its tolullon, 1 would on this occasiun, or on any other, presume to trouble you or the public with any private views ol my own upon that subject. That grusabopper eirgs have been de- poslleil III large numbers In Ibis county, and tliut liicv are now being rapidly developed III the ovn, by the wiu-ni weather we have enjoyed, are facts which are patent to us nil.

'I 'he question with which I propose to deal, la tlie manner in which we ought to face this impending danger, nnd the duly which we owe to ourselves, and to one another, in provldliie against it. It Is triio that our individual etiorts unassisted by God's favor would count as little in dealing with an emereen- 11 Is generally iissls to help themselves. uy of this kind, but it Is also tnie that God generally iisststa those most who try The ellorts of one or even of many in dividuals 10 aiinlbilnte the 'hnppers alter their appearance, would certainly prove nnsncccssl'ul, but tba onmblned action ol all the people in thia county, men, women, and ebildren, togeHier with the nsaistance ol an InclemeMt season which we can confidently expect, would to my mind settle the grasshopper question as lar at we are concerned beyond the possibility ol dispute. Tills combined action, guided and controlleil by an intelligent supervision, and employed slmnllaneoiisly at the proper lime, either in certain locallllea or throughout the entire county as the exigencies ol the caso might require, would produce results that would astonish ourselves anil relieve us from those vexatious doubts nnd uncertainties which will more or less hamper and retard our spring work. To secure united aclinn.

we should hold meetings In every township In Ibe county. These meetings should be attended by al I ponwiia who expect to be benelited by the dettriiction ot the hoppers, and are willing to onntrlbute towards the same. Every person attending the uieelingt should come lo propose some plan or lystcm of nctinn, which in hit ettimatlon would be the most applicable In the emergency. A oommlilee should then be ap- polnteil to Invrallirate those plans, and embotly in resolnllont, tlie most feasible and niiproprlate tuggestlons made. A committee should also be appointed to meet timllar cainmittees from the other lownslilps, in UlMchliiion on tome up- pointed day, lor the purpose of leciirlng united and liarmoniou) action and of agreeing upon tome plan of mutual ostlst- aiioe, if neoctsary, In protecullng the campaign agalntt Iha enemy.

TliU is a vital question to ur nil. It ef- loctt the merchant, the profesilonal man and mechanic, as well at Ihu farmer. There It no person In this county tu Utile or to great at to be beyond the reach of IU Inllucnce, and the sooner we learn aud appreciate the fact that our tuloty Irom Ihit vlsituilnn lies In our own bandt aud It not conllded to Uie keeping of govaroort or tiatetmen, or learned piofettort, the Iba tooiier we will bo prepared to deal witli tlilt queillon iu an lotelllgoiit aud praotloal manner.
