have opened one of the same sort in his studio
in Rome, in compliment to his many friends Of

the order given to him by Congress at its last
session. His old friend and patron, Nicholas

fame and fortune of our talented countrvman.

The early recognition of the genius of Pow
ers by Mr.. Longworth, and the timely aid he
rendered him, are as honorable to him as his
horticultural enterprise. Let us assure him
that the token of his courtesy to the Press, SO
gracefully rendered, was not needed to quicken
our cordial wishes for the welfare of the Amer.
lean Sculptor and his first patron.
In this connection, it should be remembered,
that the order referred to by the Star, SO hon.
orable alike to Congress and the artist, was due
to the timely and graceful action of Senator
Chase, of Ohio.

THE FORAY IN KANSAS.

We are yet without the details of the late To-
'ay of Slavery in Kansas. 1t is currently re-
ported, and thus far not denied, that armed
bands OF Missourians, regularly organized, pro-
,eeded to Kansas on the day of the election,
ook possession of the polls, thrust aside the
Judges duly appointed and sworn to reject ille-
gal votes, chose their own judges, and then not
only voted themselves, but compelled others to
Hote for their candidates. All our advices from
Kansas previous to the election had prepared
Us for this result.

Il The PahsesviHe TO- Telegraph says:
"Not long since, 1900 emigrants for Kansas
md Nebraska, mostly for Kansas, passed
trough Toledo in one train. Two steamers
: rived, from Cincinnati, in st. Louis, on the
9th ult., with 600 for the land of promise On

es well as the axe, have established themselves

raeans that the bowie knife gentry understand.
There is another matter. Let the free State
emigrants avoid dissensons among themselves.
In the face of such an enemy as they have to
contend with, it is madness to be quarrelling
about titles and land sites and monopolies.
