Governor Reeder's Prospects of Seat in Con-

gress. 1-.4. 49,
understand, says the New York Evening
Post, that very careful counting of noses in the
next Congress gives majority Of sixteen in IA
vor of admitting Governor Reeder as the repre-
sentative from the territory of Kansas in that
body, and against the admission of Whitfield,
who brings the certificate of Gov. Shannon
This includes no vote from any Southern State,
nor does it include the vote of Walk, Kelly or
Havens of New York, who will probably vote
against the admission of either delegate
The impossibility of cecting Whitfield is now
apparent and the proper course for the admin
istration to take to extricate themselves from,
the difficulty in which such decision by the
house of Representatives will place them, has
been as we have reason to believe, the subject of
protracted and earnest consultation.
The plan which is most likely to be agreed up
on by the slavc-state interest is to send back
both delegates to test their seat at the polls in
Kansas. To give certain aspect of fairness to
this proposal it is suggested that some of Doug
las friends should move an amendment to the
hahsas phi, eoiiieirlhS Po"cr upon tic resiueIt
to protect the polls from violence by United
States soldiers, if necessary. .e .H
This amendment is an ingenious attempt to
get from Congress an implied admission that the
president had not power to interfere before, and
was therefore. cxcusable for his supineness at
the two last elections. 1t is also expected to
give an appearance of concession to the Free
State interest by wich it may be concliated OF
divided Whatever course free State men may
take about other matters, we trust they will moi
offer any obstruction to any amendment Of the
Kansas bill which only looks to greater security
of the elective franchise. s o .4.ssg !

enact the terrible scene which ence cleared Nat.

This may be- all wrong, however, but whcrc
there is so much smoke, people win be searching
for fire somewhere
We feel authorized in saying that, should Mr.
Caldwell feel induced to make u confession, he
will be sustained in so doing, and there will not
only 60 down TO the Governor a petition for his
pardon signed BY all our business men, but he
find immediate and honorable employment in our
city. We hope Mr.. Caldwell will reflect well on
this matter, and remember that confession is the
best proof ofIepcntenec.
We hear some complaint of, the partiaty OF our
authorities in the treatment Of Mr.. Caldwell over
and above men in similar circumstances Should
Mr.. Caldwell be safely taken to Alton we think
what has been done in this respect will be passed
over But, should he escape, it will tend to
create the conviction that our authorities were
party to it. Wesay this much in season
We now close by saying to all our Young men
who handle the money Of Others, keep away from

Caldwell was few months ago Where he Is
now your employees will soon be If they are not
kept from gambling houses.
p s.-Since the above was in type, We learn
that several Of the gamblers in this town are
largely indebted to Caldwell and he has their
paper therefore. Where could he get his money
to loan!
1t is also reported that the defence had sever
al witnesses here from Rochester to prove his
previous good character, but were deferred from

Purk Packing in Harlineton


We Yesterday took advantage Of the delight.

tablishraent is just below the city on the river
an excellent place, by the way. We found the

it is too-very much improved since we last saw
It. Many fine and substantial dwelling houses,
mostly ofbrick, have been erected and the whole
bears very prosperous and progressive appear.
ance.
The above house is owned by j. P. and W.
Sunderland, r. C. Kendall and j. G. Law. The
business is principally under the management Of
the latter gentleman, by whose politeness VIC
were shown through the extensive buildings,
yards &c. The inside arrangements for scalding,
dressing, cutting, packing, and rendering We
found fully equal to the best houses East The
several rooms were clean and sweet, those below
being neatly white-washed and all of ample size
aud well adapted to facilitate the work in hand.
The rendering is done by steam in immense re-
ceivers made of heavy boiler iron where sufficient
heat is thus applied to render the work perfect
and complete.
Our Slaughter houses are in no respect inferi.
or, and the work done in them as good as that
in the best Cincinnati houses. And every part
of the otIal converted as proftably, save and ex-
ccpt the blood, which is there manufactured into

surpass Ohio for hogs. Ours is destined to be
the greatest hog growing State in the Union

7Hompson'* Reporter discredits the Kanawha
Bank, Va. This bank is one Of the chartered
banks of Virginia, but is owned, and the notes
are circulated in Cincinnati. Such is the doubt
felt in regard to the notes in Cincinnati that, al
though they are par during business hours, be-
ing redeemed by one of the banks, yet after bu-
sness hours they cannot be used better than 5
per cent discount In relation to Land Warrants,
the Reporter says:
"The price Of Warrants, even for twenty.four
hours ahead, is so uncertain that We prefer to let
our paper go to press without giving quotations.
From the inquiries sent to us to know what we
will pay for large amounts of Warrants, We infer
that dealers and spectators in all parts of the
country have an overstock and therefore the
price must take very decided turn downward.
