her 20.- Since the meeting of the
of the executive com
mittee at Topeka, on Tuesday
last, the political cauldron has
beeeri boiling over. Many
thought that George T. Autho-
ny would Withdraw, and the com
mittee would preseut a uew can-
didate for Governor, but instead
of this, Anthony presented a
lengthy statement tb the com-
mittee and says it was his broth-
er Ben Who done the ‘‘loaning on
inadequate security’,, while Loan
Commissioner, arid n6t himself,
and that he helped his brother
out of trouble1. States that he
did not know the condition of the
affairs of the firin' of Hill,' An-
thony & Co., and denies the
statement contained in the fifal-
liday deposition, it took two
hours to read his statement and
there were a number of letters
from army officers and others.
Only five of the fifteen mem-
bers of the committee were pres-
ent. After’ the reading of the
documents the committe wefit
into secret session, and the fol
lowing resolutions Were agreed
upon:
Resolved, that it is the sense

Committee,. after having a full
and complete explanation of Geb.
T. Anthony of the charges and
specifications made against him
and published by newspapers in

State,-that such explanation is a

against him:

of the Committee be instructed
to publish this resolution, and

To the Editor of the Cominercfaf:
A gentleman coming in from
Montague, reports great excite-
ment in that eountjl, over new
developments which implicate
certain parties in a Systematic
series of murders and robberies.
They say the plan of these mur-
derers has been to kill off all
witnesses, and that this terrible
system has been kept up for a
number of years. Seven mur-
derers well armed, ai-e nowsu:*
rounded in a house in Montague
by a large number of citizens.
They will be starved out arid
captured. The England family,
murdered not loug since, weTe
witnesses against some of them.
The following is from the Cam-
bridge North-West, of the 23rd
rust:
Excitement in Montague.
We learn from Mr. Johns that
developments have recently oc-
curred in Montague county that
implicate a family of Bfowus,
consisting of Geo. Brown, Jr.,
Jesse afid Anda Brown, living
near Red river, as the murder-
ers of Rat Morrow and wile, a
man By the name of Bachelor,
and air. McClain.
Some of these murders were
committed near two years ago,
but no certain due to the mur-
derers had been obtained recent-
ly some domestic difficulties oc-
curred fesfilting in one of the
Brown’s wives leaving her hns-
oaud, and threatening to re-
venge herself for wrongs she
had endured by informing the
public who were the mfirderers.
This determined the murdering
party to protect themselves by
putting her out of the way, aud
oue of them was ordered to kill
her.
He refusing tb obey, became
another dangerbffs element, aud
was sentenced to a like fate. He
flew to the authorities' for pro-
tection, and the secret was out.
How true it is that “murder will
out ”
The Montague people are
alarmed and excited, which will
result in bringing such crimin-
als to justice, and shielding so-
ciety from their dangerous influ-
ence and destroying power-
Sowing Grass Se4d Alone.
Farmers as a class’ Cannot be
made to believe that grass seed
Will succeed just as well, and
often a great dbaf better,* if sow n
alone than with grain, in the
nsufal way. If the land is right
aud the following season is fa
vorabie to the growth of grass
than a good stand may usually
be obtained by sowing with
grain; but if droughts should oc-
cur the young, delicate gras is
likely to be smothered 6’r to
perish for want of Water. The
grain amoug which it is growing
being so much larger aud more
vigorous will appropriate to it-
self the bulk of tire moisture
and fertility of the soil.
The severe drought which has
prevailed in the Atlantic States
the preseut season will ma'ke re-
seediug of thousands of
acres necess'ary, and we suggest
to those who have never given
the sowing of grass seed alone a
trial to do so this Fall, and see
if a better stand of grass cauuot
be obtained in that way than by
the old doubling-up system.’
YVhen grass aud grain are sown
together both must necessarilly
suffer more or less from Crowd
ing, if not for lack of moisture,
and as the grass is' the weaker,
it is injured mostf the result be-
ing a feeble growth not worth
gathering for hay, and of a little
value for pasture until the sec-
ond year. But if the grass' seed
is sowtV alone in early Autumn,
or about the time of sowing
Winter grain, it will generally
grow sufficiently rank to yield a
lair crop ol hay the following
season, aud will not be half so
liable to be destroyed bv
droughts.
This system' of sowing grass
seed alone, may not answer
equally well in all localities and’
soils, but it is beiug practiced by
our best farmers, some of whom
have expressed to us surprise at
their own stupidity at so long
practicing the.old aysteniv \te
have tested bo'tb systeffis1 time
and again, and invariably the
grass sead sown alone was far
the best; hence the above sug
gestions to those who may have
PRICE FIVE CENTS
failed to get & good stand in
their field the preempt season.
There is, however, this disad-
vantage in sowing grPss seed
alone, that one plowingphid har-
rowing does not answer fp:r two
crops as when it is put in with'
grain.—Pea and Plow.

The “Expositor” on Division.
We try; the digestive organs
of onr readers to-day with a!
precicus mbrceail from the
Hillsboro Expositor. The cur-
rents of the human mind, we
know, do sometimes run m
singular channels, and we are
now and then surprised at the
expression of an opinion, when
from locality, material interest
or some oiher other circum-
stance, we are led to anticipate
a different result; but however
much may be onr surprise, of
even regret, we are loth to de-
nounce, with* offensive epithets,
for mere opinion’s' sake; and
when a man, especially an edi-,
tor, so far violates the sense of
this tolerant age as to make a
sweeping proscription of all
who differ with him, denounc-
ing them as senseless fools, sen-
timental idiots or designing
demagogues, we are puzzled
whether to class him with the
assine species of to' regard him
as l&bofiiig finder a teiPporPry
mental aberatrofl. Charity in-
clines to the latter, Bud we hope
it may be so in this instance.
But heaf this Solomon of the
Expositor expound the division
question:
The division of the State is
becoming a popular idea almost
everywhere. All sensible peo-
ple favor it. We hear men re-
mark every (lay: “It is all that
can save the State from bank-
ruptcy and ruin.” None op-
pose it but natural born fools,
sentimental idiots or designing
demagogues.
Kow, we submit whether, for
arrogant presumption and fin-
veiled bigotry, the abfive effu-
sion does not cap the Climax.
And is Such really your opin-
ion, Mr, Sturgis? Ye descend-
ants’ of the martyrs of the
Alamo—ye living men of San
Jacinto—ye shades of Houston,
Rusk, Green and others—ye
honest anti division men of Hill
and of all this .broad State, lis-
ten at the Hillshorb’lFa^csfior.—

—Here is a warning for men
to advertise: One of this de^
seription wanted to sell some
land, aud so he put a written
notice in one of the hotels the
other day. A man who was in-
quiring for a small farm was re-
ferred to the written notice,
when he replied: I can’t buy
land at a fair price of man who
does advertising in this way,
He’d steal the fence, the puffip-
handle, and the barndoors be-
fore he give up possession.
