FOR DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
GEN. J. w. WHITFIELD
Gov. Reeder's Message.

In another place, we lay this document
before our readers. 1t is a tame affair,
affecting tone of sincerity totally at va
rance with the acts of the author.
We have always, in our unsophisticated
view of such illusions, supposed them to be
mainly devoted to statement Of the offic-
ial acts Of the Executive, rather than dis
sertation upon matters Of history; hut
perusal Of his Excellency's effort has re-
vealed to us different theory. The Gov
ernor treats very cavalierly the result OF
his labors during the past twelve months,
thinking it, doubtless. more to his benefit
to gloss over his course with a treatise upon
the pedigree of theTerritory. To this
subject he devotes himself quite elabor-
ately, without having, in our opinion. any
practical object in view. Now that the
Legislature has convened, it is imma-
terial whether the laws Of the Territory
Of Louisiana-of the Territory of Indiana.
Or Of the Territory Of Missouri, are in
force. Conflicting opinions prevail on this
point, and therefore it would be time lost
to investigate satisfactorily which of the
various codes are in effect. To obviate
this difficulty, it is only necessary to declare
them all void, and determine upon laws for
our government, derived from the best adap-
ted and and most accessible sources. Gov.
Reeder may have penchant for scrutinis-
ing the antiquities Of legislation, but we
doubt if the members elect would appreci-
ate tedious investigation into the merits
Of laws framed by their predecessors of
half century.
Upon the whole, the message is a COM
mon-place affair, though the few sugges-
tions found in it are mostly marked with
good judgment and correctness; and were
to measure the author by the general out
lines OF his production, we might safely
accredit to him a liberal mind. and de-
sire to promote the welfare of the colnmu-
nifty. But his acts belle his words. Con-
trasting the ,duplicity of his official course,
and the raseality of his private transac-
tions, with the easy and conscientious tenor
of the message, it can only he correctly
viewed as the emanation of a smooth
gued villain. His protestation against the
the interference Of the States in Kansas
affairs, is the climax of his impudence, en-
anating, as it does, from funct;onary
who has prostituted his office to enable the
hirelings of the East to gain exclusive pos
session of the fertile plans of our much
envied Territory.
But it is not our purpose to treat at
longtll upon this subject. We are content
that the Governor should reap all TIE cred
it his production may entitle him to, salts
fled that he is duly appreciated by all save
those whose eullatilitv makes them ever
ready TO swallow the cantings of hypocrite
We cannot. however, dismiss his worship,
without noticing the curt and significant
manner in which he breaks off his epistle.
Not even parting hened;ction-not even
the doNo!ogy, does he deign to hestow upon
the assembled Legislators for Kansas.

herewith submitted in n separate report for
your consideration and final action.
The last Legislature, chapter l79, See. 9th,
amended our charter allowing us to change
the annual meeting of stockholders from the
first Monday in January to the first Wednes-
day in September. We ask Il ratification of
the amendment and with it a change in the
Termination of the fiscal year, from the
last of November to the last day of
June. This change OF fiscal year would give
the officers Of the company two months, in
stead of one, in which to close up the busi-
ness of the year. and more fully and correctly
prepare the affairs of the company for the in
specton of the stockholders ut the annual
conventions.
It is Il matter of heartfelt gratitude and
sincere thanktuness, TO an Advise Provi-
dence, that 50 far in the history of this road,
we have been spared the melancholy duty OF
recording the casual death of a passenger or
an operative. No passenger has yet beer iyur-
ed-the case of the Post Master on one &C.
casion, and that of the mail guard on anoth-
er, are the only instances of casualty, of
sufficient importance TO be worthy Of no.
tice.
In concluding this report The President
must be allowed, for himself, 30 say, that
in all things pertaining to the finances and
the general management of the road in all
its varied interests, with any thing less than
the wise councils and efficient and cheerful
cooperation Of the Secretary, r. &. Jackson,
he feels sensible of The fact, and takes pleas
ure in acknowledging, that he would have
failed and come short in accomplishing one
half of what has been done.

with no nconsdcrable amount of paper forced

so dear. Our large banks discount beyond

show no willingness to-day to part with their

TEMPERANCE IN RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
The last Railway Times makes the following
wholesome suggestions:
We have had frequent occasion to com.
mend the efforts that have been ma ic BY some
of our Railway Superintendents to prevent
the use Of sprituous or intoxicating liquors,
by engine, drivers, conductors, brakemen and
other railway employees. 1t is surprising
that the effort has not been made little
more unanimously and determincdy. 1t is
the only safe rule, and one that should be
insisted upon at all hazards, to employ only
practical temperate men in the operation of n
railway. We are glad to sec that Mr.. Nc
Callum, the Superintendent of the New York
and Erie road, has, with other reformatory
efforts, attempted to close up all the drinking
places or bar.rOoms on the entire line, and in
future VIC learn that none of the keepers of
depots and eating houses on the line will he
allowed to sell ardent spirits AS the Com
pany own most of the tenements on the line,
the effort will we hope be successful. We arc
fully aware of the difficulties which are en-.
countered by any railway officer who tries to
prevent spirit-drinking by hundred or n
thousand men in the employ of the Company,
but difficult rs the task is, it should be per-
severed in determinedly to the end Where
an engine driver has his brain stimulated, ex-
cited or confused by drink, he is not fiji
agent to entrust with the lives of three or
four hundred passengers, and half million
dollars worth of property.
