Memorial of the People of Kansas
to Congress.

The Kansas Herald publishes Memo
rial to Congress on the subject of the out
RACES on the right Of suffrage and SELF
government by TIE armed bands from
Missouri detailing at length the yarious
instances in tie Territory, ard stating
that from a careful examination II til,
returns. il appears that over three thou
sand votes at the late election were cas-
by the citizens and residents Of the States.
and that very large portion Of tie resi-
dents OF ;he Territory were deferred CT
discouraged from going 10 the polls The
Memorial is an able and candid appeal 10
Congress. and the Herald says il i being

these facts we are prepared to establish, If

The following is the closing paragraph
of the Memorial;
" Inside cur bounds we shall h.ve no

i JuLY 3, 1855-The select committee 10
which was referred the petition Of Messrs.
| Austin, Bargis and others relative 10 the drain
aye of wells on Front and Pearl streets BY
hydrants, submitted report agans. the city
authorities taking any action In regard to the
bject-deeniny i: unnecessary" The
comm ittee say, after exploring, examining and
personally investigating the matter complained
of. the conclusion arrived at is. that the drain
age by hydran.s has mo influence upon the
wells from the fact tina, the water Is taken
out OF the bluff above the surface of the
g,ound below or directly west Of the bluff;
j and. consequently. were these underground
channels for the water cut off. this water
now running through the pipes, forming va
rious hydrants south Of Main street. would
vent itself upon the surface-making a per
feet swamp, and lots now dry and valuable
would become worthless The committee
also give it their opinion, THAT if the bluff
from Main to Iden streets was tapped by Al
least dozen underground drains, il would be
a great advantage to the lands adjacent and
add materially 10 the health, comfort and
beauty to tia: part Of the city-thus making
dry land of what IS now wet and swampy."
The committee further say that mo more
wells have required sinking deeper on Front
and Pearl streets than IN any other portions
Of the city, far more remote from the fountain
heads Of hydrants" The report was concur
red in and the committee discharged.
The same committee also reported, that the
proprietor of the stables. in the rear of the
Sloan House. complained of to the Council
as nuisances. had promised to have the same
aba, ed--that lie had sold them and they
would be moved. The committee were con
tnued to see that the promise complied
With. and the nuisances removed.

More Outrages at Birch Creek--ReservoiI
DESTROYED.

We learn that letters have usi been receiv-
ed by Gov Wright from the Wabash canal sta
ting that the Clay county rioters have again
cut the embankment of Birch Creek ReSer-
voir. and let the water out. II was at first
reported that the injury was not serious, bu.
further in Information shows that the reservoir is
destroyed, all the water gathered BY the late
rains being let out
The Engineer, Mr.. Ball, writes, on the Cd
instant:
The Reservoir at Birch Greek is again de-
stroyed, We had bat just finally completed
the repairs of the la;c dep-edations in Clay
county. and let out the completion OF tie
cleaning II the reserroir. upon which The con
TIA. tors hare made commencement when we
are again suspended by another act of vio-
lence and outrage. On Friday night com
pauv OF men assembled and cut the bank dis
charging all tie water that had been collect
ed during the late rains" The Clerk of tie
Board of Trustees, Mr. Hager. writes:
ION Friday night. the cmbankment of the
Birch Creek Reservoir was again cut, and
the water let out There We're not
more than dozen men who perpetTs.ed this
outrage. Some FIVE or SIX men were sent
there to watch. in anticipation OF this, bu,
though well armed. and it bright, moon
light ni,ht. they were too tinlid 70 attack the
scoundrels, or 10 approach near enough 10
identity them. even after it was done to
watch them to their homes. They saw them
distinctly. and report that there were only
ABOUT twelve. The work has been thorough
~ done aud the water completely drained of,
and II Is now too late TO do sny good bv re-
pairing the breach. even If the people there
should consent 10 let ii stand,
There IS something almost appalling in
this invetera;e lswlessness. Whatever NAV
be the causes OF complaint against the Trus-
tees, and il NAV be that heretofore there have
been many. there is no possible excuse for
these repeated outrages- The business of a
large section of country IS vitality injured bv
them, the reputation OF the Stale suffers. and
they cannot but cause such decentralization
among the people committing conaisins at
them, as will produce bitter fruit for many a
year.--Isd!asa Journal
