They have taken tho testimony of over a hundred witnesses during their absence, including officers and attaches of Fort Laramio and Bed Cloud, and visited the cattlo herds of contractors.

Edward Hewitt Sou, provision dealers, have failed, with $121,000 liabilities. In delivering their judgment the Abbotsford investigation court of inquiry said they wero perfectly satisfied that the vessel was in good order; that the general character and condnct.of the officers was perfect and all that should be desired by the critical owners or a mo9t critical public. Tho vessel made the journoy safely until uear Holyhead, and then was lost on the coast of Anglesea. Every precaution seemed to havo been" taken that prudence dictated all that was printed for the guidance of the officers Ifad been done soundings were made regularly, and as the weather thickened, a constant and doubtless vigilant and efficient lookout had been preserved. Still the vessel was finally lost on a summer's day in the fog, and it remained for the court to ascertain the cause, as far a3 possible.

They were unable to accept tho theory of a sudden disturbance of the compass, but that when an observation was last taken after leaving Holyhead, that some gross error was made in calculation. They were of tho opinion that the loss of tho vessel was due in the first instanco to the master's misjudged distance from Holyhead, and they also thought that sufficient allowance was not made for the force of tide, especially during the several times tho vessel was slowed, or stopped for soundings. They held these mistakes deserving of censure. Thev could not say, con sidering the state of matters after passing Holyhead, it was. prudent to proceed at the rate of speed at which the vesse The loss of the vessel could not be attributed to that cause.

The captain's certificate would be returned to him. London, Aug. 23.

The mili tary are forming a line preparatory for a public welcome of the American International Rifle Team. There are but few decorations along the prescribed lino of march, either in the way of flags or otherwise. At the city hall the flags of all nations are flying, and flags are also dispersed, about the cupola and across the balcony above the porch. The procession will move up Broadway, and along the prescribed route to the army and navy club house, where there will be an informal lunch this evening. At Gil-moro's Garden, tho prizes brought home by the team will be on exhibition.

A musical programme at the Graden has been arranged with special reference to the occasion. The Turner societies numbering about three thousand men, paraded through the streets to-day, and afterwards took cars and steamboats for Jones' Wood. The festival in the woods will be continued three days. About two o'clock the team were driven up to the City Hall in carriages, where they were received with three ringing cheers by the crowd. They then alighted and passed in, Col.

Gildersleeve and Gen. Shaler leading the line. After ten minutes of informal conversation and handshaking tho party adjourned to the Governor's room. The party arranged themselves in a semi-circle, when, after a brief pause, Gen. Shaler introduced team, and Mayor Wickham welcomed them in a brief speech.

Col. Gildersleeve in reply hoped the mayor and friends who had so kindly tendered them this reception would accept their sincere thanks. They had gone away with some frienda, and returned to find many. The place he was in should inspire him to give thanks in fitting terms, but inspiration failed him. He epoke of the warmth of the team's reception in Ireland, and said that American citizenship had been a passport everywhere abroad.

At the close of the proceedings in the mayor's office, a military and civil procession was formed, the team and invited guests took their places in the procession, and under tho escort of the 22d, and 69th and 12th regiment, marched tip Broadway over the prescribed route to the army and navy club, whore a banquet was given, at which speeches were made by members of the team and club. The progress of the procession up Broadway was au enthusiastic ono, and notwithstanding the drizzling rain many spectators crowded the sidewalks to honor the return of the riflemen. Many buildings along the line of march were decorated with national colors, and at the approach of the procession enthusiastic cheers were given and continued nntil it had passed. New York, 23. Gilmore's immense uoncert warden was crowded to-night ou tho occasion of a special musical reception to the American Jtifle Team.

Just inside Madison Avenue entranco were suspended four American flags, four Union jacks, and four Irish flags. The team entered amid the cheers of the vast audience. After the preformance of a number of operatic airs the Irish Team took position on the music stand and Gen. Shaler introduced Gen. Sharpe, who delivered the address of welcome, which was responded to by Col.

Gildersleeve. The remainder of the musical programme was then carried out and the audience dispersed. The Trophies won by the Americans were exhibited at the upper end of the garden and at the lower end were posted up the diagrams of the scores each made at Dollymont. GEORGIA. Augusta, Aug.

23. Several prominent negroes connected with the troubles in the counties below have made confession. Jake Mormon, First Lieutenant of a negro company, testifies on oath that nineteen counties were to be embraced in me insurrection. i-ast riday was appointed for the uprising. All the white men and ugly white women were to be killed and the pretty women were to be spared and the land and spoils to be divided among the negroes.

All who have testified so far testify substantially the same as Jake Morman. Gov. Smith arrived this afternoon from Waynesboro. He is determined to preserve peace, enforce -the laws and do jus tice to Doth whites and blacks. Augusta, Aug.

23. Governor Smith was serenaded to-night, and made a speech to a large concourse people. He said there was serious cause for apprehension of an insurrection in the disturbed counties, out owing to the timely and prudent action of the whites, all danger has passed. The great mass of the colored people really knew nothing tho gravity and danger of the plot into which they were being led by a few bad negroes. He counselled prudence and forbearance.

All men, white and black, should be protected in their rights of person and property. would see to it that peace and order and good government were preserved by a rigid enforcement of the laws. The courts were open and all violations of the peace would tried and punished. There was reason to apprehend any further infractions of thopeace. He will offer a reward of $500 for arrest of Gen.

Morris, the leader the recent troubles. It is reported that a colored man was killed in one of the counties. The Governor says he will offer a reward for the arrest of the murderers the report proves correct. in the ent the ing In nas The smiling and pleasant look up on the countenances of the farmers when they come into town is an in dication that the prospects for a large potatoe crop are most excel lent. Fruit of all kinds appears to be very abundant in the market, and the apples and peaches look sort of countryfied, still we confess our in ability to tell where ail comes from.

The turnip crop in this county this year will be most excellent. The growing "roots" are large and ten der, and cover the grcuud very thickly. This crop is not the most valuable in the world, and will sel dom pay to ship, yet for feed for cattle it is very fine, and an agree able change from corn during the winter. KEEN WOO COINTY. furtkallfrald.lSh Wc call especial attention to the a'rticlea headed "Agricultural Sta tistics" and.

"Finances." Is there a county in the State that can make a better showing? Our population is 6mall, it is true 6369 but this pop ulation is not on the begging list. Greenwood county took caro of herself during last winter, and has actually gained in population, while many other counties have last. To show the wealth and character of our population wc will refer to the statistics of 1874. Greenwood is the fortieth in population. In value of school property she is surpassed only by twenty.

Thirty-six have moro cultivated land, but not that number surpass her in any staple crop, while only Miami, Shawuee and Howard county beat her in cat- tic. MCPHERSON COUSTT. Independent, 13. The McPherson agricultural and mechanical association have decid ed to hold a county fair at the coun ty seat this fall. Farmers in the north part of the county are now busily engaged with their broom corn.

A flock of 4,000 sheep passed north ot town on Thursday. JEFFtltSON COUNTY. Valley Falls Era, 21 Hay pressing is lively at Norfon- villc. Much of the corn in Stranger Val ley is late, and issufferingsomowhat from dry weather. Moro people traded in Valley Falls last Saturday than in any one day for a year past.

Tho farmers near Nortouville will pay their running expeuses for the year with hay money. The "hay fever" has got from Brooklyn as far as Nortouville. Two moro presses are to be put up there soon. Tho farmers in the Blue Mound neighborhood have been too busy to eat for two weeks. Wheat thresh ing is what ails them.

How is that for growth? In Melvern township farmers are plowing early and late for wheat. O. C. Williams will sow about 100 acres, and others irom that down. North of town tho threshing sea son is over as a general thing, and farmers are fully satisfied as to the result.

Prospects for fall crops are mag nificent. No lean shoats for pork this fall. Mr. J. Patterson threshed from 5 acre3 of ground 127 bushels of millet.

HEPCBI.IC C'OUVTY. BollTll'e Tilescope 12 Such a corn crop as Republic Co. promises this year has never before been equalled, and we would sug gest to those having stock iu the eastern portion of the State, that this is the place to winter and fatten them Not only this, but nearly all of the western counties have an immense surplus, and no stock to feed it to. Nearly every farmer is putting up a large quantity of hay, so that thero will be plenty of that to supply the demand, which can be had at reasonable figures. KlTaiNER COUNTY.

The Press, 19 Farmers are all busy plowing for wheat and it f3 thought that the number of acres that will be sown this fall will be double tha.t of laU season. John Dean, one of our old subscribers in the southeastern part of tho county, paid us a visit this week, and renewed his subscription. He reports everything flourishing In his nelgborhood, and all busy getting ready to sow wheat. Mr. Dean says he never saw corn looking finer, and the yield will average from sixty to seventy-five bushels per acre.

There is no "Republican" war upon greenbacks. The Republicans desire to see the greenbacks honored by. being paid according to their promise.

Is a man making "war" upon his own paper when ho pro tecta it and pays it. On the contra ry the man who refuses to pay his paper dishonors it, and those who are endeavoring to prevent the nation from paying its notes are the ones who are "making war" upon the greenbacks. They are trying to fulfill and make true the copperhead prediction made wnen tne green backs were issued, that they would never be paid, that they would be discredited, fall below gold and finally be repudiated. There Is where tuis Democratic war on greenbacks leads to. Tho "Walnut Valley Times lays down the following platform, which every good Republican can endorse: Retrenchment and reform In every branch of our State and National Government atfd a getting down to a solid basis of gold dollars, or a cir culating medium that Is worth its faco in gold.

Honest men for office instead of blatant blatherskites. A conservative policy that will Join the hearts and hands of all good and true men of this vast country into one great nation. An iron rule that will totally dis regard the wishes of northern poll clans and southern demagogues who live and fatten Qon tho misfortunes of others. And, withal, a patrioctic desire iu the heart of every man to so conduct himself as will in the immediate fu ture secure equal rights and exact justice, in public and private, to all people, nign or low, rich or poor, who are legally entitled to be called citizens of this nation. THE TUT OF FACT.

There is nothing that punctures a theory so remorselessly as a fact. The irredeemable paper money inflationists are perpetually telling us that there it a great lack of currency with which to do the "business1' of tho country. We point them to the act that money abounds in all tho great baalnes3 centres, where the vast business exchanges of the country are done, that Its rates for use are cheap, that tho banks are full to overflowing of deposits; aud their reply is, not there, but "out West." Well, Kansas is "out West." If there is lack of currency to do "business" anywhere it should be here. But what are tho facts. No man pan put his finger on a single place in Kansas where there is "business" to be done, things to be old, and there is any lack of the needed currency.

We called attention the other day to Wichita, the great wheat mart of the Southwcit. There aro hundreds of thousands of bushels of wheat there offered for sale. Is thero any lack of currency to do the business? Not at all. Wheat buyers are there by the score with their pockets full of money ready to bay all that is offered. Take it out on tho Kansas Pacific road, at Abilene.

There is another great wheat market. If currency is lacking to do tho business, there is the spot where the lack ought to be felt. Is It so felt? Let the Chronicle of that place reply. It says There seems to be plenty of money In this country when we have anything to bring it here. From July 20th to August 17th, there waa brought into this county, through the Abilene bank, for wheat, $54,314.12.

So it Is all over our State. Wherever there is anything to sell, there Is no lack of the currency with which to buy. If men have wheat, cattle, pork, hogs, wool, there Is plenty of currency for handling them. What becomes then of all this howl about a lack of currency? It vanishes. There is nothing In it.

It Is false. It has no basis. It Is a deceit. Against the Ohio Democratic platform, Tom wing's platitudes, and Pig Iron Kelley'a wild theories we hurl the stern logic of acts, which are dally transpiring before our eyes. Any one wishing to keep posted as to the conditlou of the crops of Kansas should take the Lawrence Jocbnil.

The Journal makes a specialty of this. Abilene in Wichita ana the towns in mis part of the State. Farmers have put off forever the long laces they assumed last fall, and are happy. A greater area of wheat will be sown this fall thin ever before. If anything has been conclusively established it is that wheat can be successfully and profitably grown in the Arkansas valley.

The yield of corn this year will also be very heavy. The number of acres plauted was never greater, and in the six years that we have been in this part of the State we have not had such a favorable season for all kinds of crops as we have had the present one. New corn sold by tho wagon load on our streets Jsaturnay tor lorty-five cents. The Grangers' warehouse was completed on Monday. WOODSON COUNTY.

PresUiU. o-y a county this fall than ever before in one season. Tho promise for buckwheat cakes is splendid. A large amount of seed was sown, and it promises a heavy yield. We took a very pleasant ride Into the northwest part of the county, past Emerald post office, last Tuesday.

On every hand we saw large grain stacks, and thousands of acres of splendid corn. Every one was at work putting up hay, and better grass never grew in Kansas.
