Kansas. A epecial correspondent gives us a very readable letter this morning from Kansa3. It is out of tho usual order in that the writer finds a good many things in that Westera Eldorado to criticise and condemn. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm The Cleveland Leader says Demo'crats need give themselves no anxiety with reference to the Republicans of Cuyahoga Co.nty. They were never mora harmoniOES and united than &t present. Their nominations will be made with a unanimity which will disappoint their foe, and they will carry the county by at leasttwenty-five hundred majority. TnE conflict between the Superintendent of Government Printing and the Washington Typographical Union. regarding the employment ot apprentices, has ended in favor of the former, and a day or two since eight apprentices were put to work. The controversy has been an unfoTtunate one for the Union, since the result cannot but mate2 21y weaken ita in fluence, but it ended as all such issues must, in favor of self-evident right The tide of emigration from Europe to this country is in steadily increas ing volume, the number of arrivals so far this year exceeding that for the corresponding period in 1SGG, the great immigration year. The larger number scatter themselves through the Western States, as the aection holding out the best promises of reward f'cr their industry, but a diversion is being made toward the South, which will probably in the future take a considerable per cen tage. ; Many of these emigrants bring money enough to establish themselves in homes.'and nearly all bring industry, frugality, and a determination to render themselves useful citizens. The New Albany papers report the grape crop in that vicinity almost an entire failure. In many,. vineyards the yield will not be one-fourth the average of former years. The fruit promised splendidly for a time, but as tho ripening season approached, it rotted and fell off the ' vines. The same condition of things is being experienced by our grape grower. The Catawba grapes in particular will prove almost an entire failure. Ia some iastancos the Concord grape has stood pretty well, but in other localities that grape suffers equally with the Catawba, and the yield will be very small. This is unpleasant to contemplate, as we have come to regard our grape and wine crops as of great importance. j i The Shawneetoiva Mercury is recovering from the spasm of ill-nature into which it was thrown by a very in nocent paragraph fin tho Journal with reference to the Vincenaes & Cairo Ilailroad. It now says it " don't want to throw a single straw in the way of our railroad enterprises." But, nevertheless, the Mercury persists in declaring that a railroad from Evans ville to Paducah is not practicable. How could such a railroad be anything elso than successful, when it would be tapped by a branch road running to tho : important-city of Shawnectown? We are sure tho Mercury don't appreciate the great advantages we expect to derive from a railroad connection with its city Its modesty prevents the Mercury from -realizing how very desirable it is to make Shawneetown a railroad point, that we may compete with Chicago for its valuable trade. Our merchants and business men are wide awake on all these points, however they may be overlooked by tho citizens of Shawneetown, and the Mercury in particular. ' " "- Conservatism. The telegraph has told U3 over and over again of the success of the Con servatives in Southern elections. I order that tho political standing of these Conservatives may be better understood, we copy from the Mobile Register a wail over the defeat of the Conservative candidate for Congress in that District. The Register is edited by that noted Conservative jJoaitf FoiSYTHE. The article from which we copy is headed "A new phase of the most extraordinary revolution of modern time?," and concludes as follows: - , - " Theso reflections lead us to believe that wo " have- entered upon a now phase of this extraordinary revolution, and that the years to come will not be as quiet as those that have passed. It is not in the nature of J men, especially ot men ot our race, to sit down supinely while they are taxed to a confiscation" of their property by a handful of strangers. Brutes will fight for their lives, their food and their young, and our homes, our subsistence for wives and children are threatened; and when liberty is thrown into the scale with the means of livelihood, and when we are boldly told if we do not like it we can abandon our country, an issue is presented that is not long debatable. When that issue comes to be made up and it ia imminent it ii one that a e park may at any moment kindle into a conflagration our nonvoting white people will discover that they had some interest in the late election. They vill have to fight whereas they only had to vote. Ia what we have written above, we doubt not that we have given true expression to the thoughts that are struggling for utterance in the minds and hearts of this people."

F.ettcr from Kunani. Topeka, Kansas, Aug. 10, 1SG9. Editors Journal: I have new been in this 41 city" about fifteen days, and I am quite vain enough to believe that your readers will bear the infliction of "these few lines" with commendable fortitude. I must premise, however, that Topeka, Kansas, as it is presented to the . Visual organs, and the Topeka, Kansas, as described ly the real estate agents and "news"-papers of this city are almost as strikingly different as a bright day is from a cloudy night. As this fact is so plainly susceptible of explanation, I shall content myself with having made the statement. I would, however, earnestly advise all those who contemplate emigration to this State to rely upon nothing they see in a Kansas rewspaper, and beieve nothicer they hear from any man who owns a foot cf Kansas real estate or who has the least interest in the world in saying a single word more in r r- . , f i Til praise ot xvansas tcan tne lacis win warrant. Lome and see tne country with, your own eyes, and form ymir opinion from what you see, and nothing else. ; Livery man wno invests a uouar here expects in fifteen, or at furthest thirty, days to get at least two dollars for the investment; ana to lurtner this desirable end he begins at once tr nraise and extel the country. - ''Topeka has n.lonajide population of about lour or nve inousanu sou;. Tfo rpnsus will, no doubt, tell a dif ferent story, but when it is understood that every man, . woman and nansrht within the limits of the city are numbered among the actual inhabitants, it is not astonishing. The situation is a pretty one, and it is no otrtinn to cflv that ' distance lends enchantment to the view." Topeka rpspmhlps an overcrown village much mfl-P than a citv. Four-fifths of the dwellings and a majority of the busi nfiqs houses are small and unsubstan tial, and the former are scattered over an area of one and a half or two miles. Th streets, however, are unusually wide and reeularlv laid out,-and if the present rate of improvement con tinues. Topeka will, one day, be a re sectable citv. There is no question hut that it is " even now a long way ahead of the surrounding country, and if it should have to sit quietly Anwn one of these davs. and sit there for four or five years and wait for the country to catch up with it, I should not be' astonished, although the natives hereabouta would look upon such 'an intimf tion as an insult for which there is positively no atone ment. This city - derives its greatest importance from the fact that it is tho Capital of the State, and to fix that matter forever beyond any peradventurfl. tha Legislature has already ap propriated 1 half a million of dollars for the erection of one "wing" of the State House, which, when completed nnpordinsr to the present plan, will be almost eanavnoua as the Capitol at Washington. It is darkly hinted by a few men, in wnom tne Dump oi cautiousness is not large, that tho memhera of the Legislature did not vote appropriations for nothing. This city sports two daily newspa pers, bat whether they are as wel annnnrted as they are sported is i question upon which I shall hold my peace. . The Record holds the age and the Associated Press dispatches over the Commonwealth, but the latter is owned in part t.y the "State Printer," is edited by Ward Burlingame, private Secretary to the Governor and Governor sub rosa, and claims to have a telegraph line of its own. It is said, however, that its telegraph line is run by express. Both of these papers are llepublican in politics, but are now, in common with almost the entire pre3 of the State, waging a bitter war upon Senators pomeroy and lloss and Representative Clarke. No Democratic paper is published here, and it is evident that a daily could not survive, but a good, live weekly might do first-rate from the start. At all events, even to tako the testimony of Republicans, a Democratic paper would have plenty to talk about, as oQcial corruption is the order of the day. ; Politicians in Indiana and ail of the older States are comparatively honest, upright, virtuous men, when put in Juxtaposition with those ot this State. Charges of . tho gravest kind are made everywhere, and by everybody, against Pomeroy, Ross and Clarke, and if only half is true that Republicans say of them, they are pertainly "prone to evil, and above all things, desperately wicked." ,0a the 2J inst. I attended the colored celebration in honor of the abolition of slavery in the West Indies by tho English Government, August 1st, 1834. It was Dot by any means brilliant. A few white men participated in the ceremonies, and sandwiched promiscuously among V niggers," eat heartily cf a good, sub stantial dinaer. rrommcnt among the white speakers of the occasion was lion. James Guthrie, formerly of Logansport, Indiana, and at present Representative of Shawnee County in tho Legislature, lie goes the whole hoir. and more too, as he declared himself unanimously in favor of John Chinaman, as well as negro sufTrare. Mr. Guthrie, although evi dently a very ordinary man in point of talent, cuts quite a prominent figure here: but whether he thrusts himself ' I 1! Ui-. fin-wAc Ar. iorwaru, or uuuna w iJi.cuuai.wuu it, I 8m net, at present, . sufficiently versed in Kansas affairs to sar. A vonns man whom folks here call "Colonel Hoyt," who took part in the defence cf John Brown, whose soul is mai'ebing. on, and who takes especial pains to inform strangers that he was once (Jaiet of: js . Aansas lvea Legs," also addressed te gable celebrators. I must ba excused for sayins that his " speech V was one of the inl'ernalest harangues that I ever listened to; and if all ;RepubIifcacs entertained such sentiments as this Slassachusctts Border Rnfian, I would rather be a " nigger " at once and b j done iih it. lie referred to his expti during the Kansas troubles, and boasted jtyf havirg robbed the slavebolders of Missouri, not only of thei slaves, but of the very choicest of all their other property, lie said, "When I was chief of the Kansas Red Legs I went to the slaveholders of Missouri and after l aving captured their slaves would call them cut and givo them their choice to eiiher settle with their slaves or be strung up to the nearest tree. And they generally settled. The only trouble I had was to get the negro to estimate his services high enough. I sometimes had to raise him." He stated again that at one time he drove int3 Lawrence with eighty-six waon leads of negroes, every one of whom coall purchase a farm and stock it.. .He always took the best horses and wagon, tha best cow and calf, tha best barrel of flour, the best bacon ham, the choicest fruit, tha best can of pickles and the best jar of preserves. At night the festivities of the day

' "' ' . TT M t tV, meeting- was addressed pnncr pally by Mr. Langdon, a negro, una .IK " 1 brother ot me "UV."'U,7U the office of Minister io jiucr a. .ur. Langdon is a talented speaker, and evidently a gentleman of culture as well as color. He is very radical in sentiment, and maintained that there should be perfect political and social equality between the races. He was opposed to separate schools for negro children and separate churches for negroes. He advised the negroes to be industrious and economical, and get property. He said no matter how place a man was, if he nad ricnes, an men would respect him. He said, " I don't ask to be invited into the white man's parlor; that is a social matter, we are told, lint the man who said. if the negro i3 allowed to vote and to hold ofhee, the white man must invite him into his parlor, told the truth. He said the negroes, after the ratificaof the Fifteenth Amendment, would hold tha balance of power, and then separate school houses for negro children and separate churches for negroes, and all other unjust discrimi nations agp.in3t men on account oi color, should be done away with. A fine supper was spread in the hall, and Mr. Langdon invited the white persons present to sit down with their colored orntners and sisters, and see if the chickens would jump off the table,' or if anything else miraculous would nappen. x tooK particular notice, however, and did not see a single white person at the table. Whether it was owing to the presence of the negroes or the cost of the supper l, ot course, could not, outside of my own case, judge. As for myself I must confess that the atmosphere did not sharpen my appe tite, though, as a rule, it is sharp enough for any emergency I have come to agree with Mr. Langdon, who said, during the course of his speech, that he did not pretend that the negro was any better than the white man. A few days ago I visited St. Mary's Mission, down tho road from here about twenty-five ciiles to take a look at the Pottawotamie Indians, who had just been paid off the day before. These Indians are said to be civilizd, and . many of them are, but take them altosethcr in a lump, as I saw them, thev are certainly the most deraded looking mess of humanity that ever beheld. Along side of an Indian, the dirtiest negro is exceedingly respectable. Many of the men, on this occasion, were beastly drunk, and while a drunken white man is certainly a most unpleasant sight, a drunken Indian fairly caps the climax of indecency. The women were generally sitting around in the shade, quietly witnessing the ; ; drunken orgies of their husbands, or gathered about the sutlers' stands eating ginger-cakes and drinking pop. These Indians receive an annuity of twenty-four dollars a year from our generous Uncle Samuel, for what are here " known as the Pottawotamie Lands. It is paid twice a year, and serves to enrich a few white thieves, who furnish the Indians with whisky, tobacco, and ribbons at very little less than a thousand per cent, profit, while it also gives Mr: Lo a splendid chance to have two big drunks per annum. About half of these Indians were dressed in their native costume, while as many had wholly or in part adopted the white man s garb. " lhere are trequcnt instances wnere wnue men have married native Indian . f a l a 1 women, caving peen lunuenceu io uo so from mercenary and beastly motives, and are now rearing half breed children by wholesale.. There are also a very few instances in which white women have married Indian meD, but they arc comparatively rare exceptions, which certainly speaks well for the discrimination of Mr. Lo. Real estate in this city is as high as it is in Evansville. As I said in another part of this letter, every man who buys real estate here expects to deuble his money at least, in a short time. For instance, if a man buys a lot for 1200, he immediately puts it back into the. market at $400; the next purchaser, if there is one, puts it in the market at $b00, &c. 1 he rise of property is exactly upon this principle, and there is nothing else in God's world to warrant it. While property in this city is at such a fear ful rate, prairie lands within seven miles canoe bought from six to thirty dollars. It must be borne in mind that ToDeka proper, or South Topeka, as it is called, is on the right bank of the Kaw River, a rapid stream, about three hundred yards wide. whila North loDeka is on the oddo site side of the river. The Pacific Railroad depot is in the latter. North and South Toceka are con nectcd by one of the craziest old pontoon bridges that ever spanned a poor, dirty riyer, and for the privilege of crossing it the pedeatrian is obliged to pay five cents, while a team is chareed a "bit." This bridge is owned by a private corporation, and, it is said. pav3 a hundred per cent. There never was a greater outrage of the kind. I am astonished, and so is every stranger, that the enterprising business men of Topeka will sit qui etly and allow such an-outrage to be perpetrated. . There is but one poor foundry here, and that, I am told, don't make enough money to pay its employees, and, at present, I believe it is doing nothing Attorneys at law and. notaries public, real estate and insurance men are as thick as grasshoppers everywhere on the prairies, and every train brines fresh installments. This is no place, and, indeed, take Kansas altogether, and it is a poor place for professional men. Every little , town is full of poor, ragged, . half-starved lawyers, whose legitimate law business does not amount -to enough to pay their board. Now. notwithstanding all I have said, and I have written the truth, if I know it, Kansas is a beautiful countrj. and Topeka is a lively, flourishing little city. But what I aim to say is that Tcpeka is cot the only city, and Kansas is not the only State, in the Union, by a long shot. If any man comes out here: expecting to enter a quarter section ef vacant lajuu o- buy a town lot and then sit down, do nothing, live and grow rich on' their increase Ta yaiue, he will wake up next morning after ' his arrival with his mind terribly disabused. With the same amount of energy and economy that it requires to get rich here, a man can get rich almost anywhere. The great advantage here lies in tbo fact that a poor devil can get a farm with much less money than he can in the elder States, though setting along the first year or so will be a very steep up-hill business. If, however, a man has money, say from 2,000 to $100,000, he can do well in this State from the start, if he only knows how. Among the merchants here, I find Messrs. Johnson & Son, brother and nephew of the gallant and jovial Col. Tom, of the old 5th Indiana. They haye made and are making money. They have been here a good while, and know how to do it. Also, Pr. Eli Lewis, of Newburg, is here, in the

practice of his profusion, and is

doing well. Last week I met Capt. S. R. Hornbrook, who has been on an extended foraging expedition; and he informed me that hi healtu had greatly improved. He expected to continue his peregrinations to Omaha and Lincoln City, Nebraska ; but I learned that he gave up the ghost at Kansas City and started for Kvansvnie. Now. in conclusion, thirdly and lastly, I must insist, by way of apolo gy, that this 39 a much larger dose than 1 intended to prepare, at first, but I trust nothing fatal to your readers will result from it. In future I will try and draw it a little milder. Very truly. Btlt, Jones. The Kecknfe commercial Convention. CIRCULAR FR02I GOV. BAKER. The following circular, which will be of interest to business men throughout the State, has been issued by the Governor: . State of Indiana, Executive Dsp't, 1NKIANAPOL.IS, Aug. 11, lSotf. The following call has been received at this Department, with a request that I should appoint delegates to the proposed Convention, as indicated in the call. 1 he can reads thus MISSISSIPPI VALLEY COMMERCIAL CON VENTION A Commercial Convention, which recently convened at the city of JNew Orleans, havinst recommended the holding of a Convention on the Upper Mississippi, at some convenient time during the present summer, to consider all matters connected with the commerce and trade of the Missis sippi River and it3 tributaries, and the undersigned having been duly appointed a Central Committee to make arrangements for holding such Convention: Now, therefore, all the States and communities of the Mis sissippi Valley, desiring to see the great river and its branches freed from the fetters, natural or artificial, that obstruct its navigation, or retard its commerce, or in any way hinder the development of the country drained by its waters, are , requested to send delegates to meet in Conven tion at the city of Keokuk, Iowa, on the 7th day of September, A. D. 1869, at 2 o'clock p. M to devise means and to ' adopt measures for the thorough accomplishment of these desirable ends. The ratio of representation will be two delegates at laree for each ctate ot the Mississippi Valley, and one delegate for each Congressional Dis trict in said States, one delegate for each city or town situated on the river, or any of its branches, and one delegate for each five thousand of population ot such city or town, or traction over. Chambers of Com m.'rce and Boards of Trade, of cities and towns along the river are re Quested to see to the selection of dele crates from their respective localities The Governors of the several fctates of the Mississippi Valley are requested to appoint the delegates at large for their btates, and lor the Uongress:ona Districts within the same. Add. II. Sanders, James Renwieic, John L. Dayies, James M. Buford A. T. Wilkinson R. F. Rower, Wm. Patterson, Wm. Vandever, A. Chambers, Chas. Seymour, Committee of Arrangements. Believiag it to be important that Indiana should be represented in the Convention, but EOt uesinng to a3 sume the right to appoint delegates thereto, which, in my judgment should be done by the people of the respective districts to be represented instead, therefore, of appointing dele gates, 1 issue this circular, directing public attention to tho call, and ex pressing the assurance that if those in the several Congressional Districts who feel an interest in the objects for which the Convention is called, ,see proper to designate delegates, I will it defcired. give each delegate so des ignated a letter to the Convention requesting that he may be recognized and received as a delegate horn the proper District. Cokrat) Baker, Governor TnE Republic.'iDs opened the cam paign in Uuio. at Wilmington, on Thursdjy, ia magnificent style. Th crowd in attendance was much larger than expected, and the enthusiasm corresponded with the numbers. Th speeches ci Governor hates and Senator Morton were listened to with marked attention the speaker being frequently applauded and wil have a great influenco in deciding doubtful voters. The Cincinnati Ga zette says of these speeches: ! ! The ten thousand people who were at lllmington yesterday,- had th benefit of listening to a pretty thor ough overhauling cf Democratic pro fessions and Democratic practices To day ten times ten thousand peopl will read these speeches, and it wil perhaps occur to even the most care less that the Democratic party has miserably, wretchedly, palpably failed to redeem the bracgart promises it made two years ago. Possibly, too, the hundred thousand voters, who will read what this Governor and this Senator have to say, will find, if they read with only half an eye, a rather plain setting forth of the real character of that party which has allied itself to all the oppressions, hates, and bitterness of not only this decade, but former ones. The ability of the efforts, the high authority of the speakers, tha strength of the positions assumed, and the arguments adduced, all call for a very general reading of thesc two speeches the first of thecampaign of 18C9. Attention, and careful consideration we hope they will get. Notica cf Copartnership.
