New CAPITAL of Kansas.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Re
publican, writing from LecomptOn, the
new capital of Kansas, says:
1t is situated on the Kansas River near
the geographical centre Of the territory.
Convenient as it is TO all portions of the
territory, the location will doubles give
general satisfaction. The town cite is
beautiful. Timber abounds. Water is
plenty. Both timber and water are of
excellent quality. Yesterday, shares in
the Lecompton Town Company could
have been bought for 500, to day they
cannot be bought for less than $1,000,
except when a party is compelled to sell
by a money pressure. This evening
men are considered worth SO. 900, who
last evering were considered worth moth
ing. To-day men are considered as
good for $50. 600, who yesterday were
regarded as good for several hundred
less than nothing. What is it that fc-
kle fortune will not do for lucky people 3?
This result adds much excitement and a
great deal of long rolling, and splash
es with cold water many high hopes of
fortune. Some are elaled /; more are de-
pressed.

There is the record. If there is any
mistake, lei it be shown. If there is any
excuse for doubling the taxes in five
years, give it to US. Give US something
better than preaching about fluctuations
of grain crops-about canals being fro
zen up during the winter, and dried up
in the summer. Tell US how the sala-
ries of many of the public officers have
been doubled-how the contracts on the
State works, have been farmed out to
political favorites, under the exclusive
control of Democratic Legislatures and
Administration.
But more than this. We can prove
by its own official documents, that the
State Administration, has burdened us
with an enormous, unwise and wholly
unnecessary State tax, and a tax with
which counties, city corporations, and
local authorities, had nothing 10 do.
Article s, Section Z, of the constitu-
ton, is as follows:
"The faith of the Slate being pledged
for the payment of its public debt, in or
der to provide therefor, there shall be
created a sinking fund which shall be
sufficient to pay the accruing interest on
such debt, and annually to reduce the Grin
cip0l thereof by a sum not less han one
hundred thousand dollars, increased gear
iy, and, every year, by compounding, at
the rate Of siE per cent. per AMMAN. The
said sinking fund shall consist, of the net
annual income of the public works and
stocks owned by the State, of any other
funds OF that are, or may be
provided by law, and of such further
sum, to be raised by taxation, as may
be required for the purposes aforesaid"
Of this section the Mansfield Herald,
well says:
% The new Constitution took effect the
first day of S ptember 1851, and in the
year 1852, therefore, was the first year
which the above quoted constitutional
provision, in reference to taxation for the
purpose of sinking fund. would be ex-
tended. If then the State Administra.
ton had done what the Constitution re-
quired it to do towards raising funds to
be paid on the principal of the State
debt, and had stopped there, there would
have been, and would be raised by tax
alton for that purpose:

river improved, but not your Ohio and
your Mississippi, not Erie, ST. Clair. and
Michigan. Northern and free interests
predominant there, and their encourage
ment and protection is unconstitutional in
The eyes ofthis Kansas Nebraska Admin
~istration.
The Courts of Hamilton County have
rebuked the corrupt officials. One has
been removed from Office, and fined
Another has been put on trial for poach-
ing the poultry. AS well might he have
been tried for robbing hen roosts.
The tax laws demand revision. The
people are taxed for what they have not,
as well as what they have. Banks are
taxed twice on the same capital. One
man buys land on credit, and sells it to
another on credit. First the land is tax
ed. Then the first seller is taxed on the
notes he holds against The first pur-
chaser. Then he in turn is taxed on the
notes he holds against the second pur
chaser, and thus the sans property is ak
ed three times, and just as many more tines
as it is bought, and sold, on credit IN
the same year. Thus a man, not worm
a dollar, not holding q single dollars
worth of property in his hands, may be
taxed on thousands. Thus the poor but
~enterprisipg man is taxed again and
again, while the man of capital, who
buvs and sells for cash only is taxed
once upon his actual capital, and no
more.
We might fill our whole paper every
week with these facts. There is no end
to them. We intend to keep our read
ers fully posted in regard to taxes, and
we shall cut out enough work of this
kind to give our brother of the Democrat
plenty of occupation.

Here we have the aggregate amount
which the constitution requires should be
levied in taxes for payment on the princi-
pal of the State debt for the six years,
commencing with the new Constitution,
and ending with 1857 ; six hundred
ninety seven thousand five hundred thir-
tv-one dollars and eighty-four cents.
And now by reference to the last report
OF Mr.. Morgan, Auditor of State, GOV err
ing the year 1854, page six, We find that
there was levied that year for this pur-
pose the sum of S698. $50, 32, being
S486, 600, 80 more Than the Constitution
required for that year and being $685.
48 more than the Constitution requires
in the six years from 1852 tc 1857, both
inclusive Thus throwing on one year
mole than the proper and constitutional
burden Of sir years; crushing labor and
business under Its enormous weight /;
keeping desirable emigrants from the
east from settling among US, and driving
large numbers of our own most thrifty
people to the far west to escape the in
tolerable exactions! What wisdom !
What Craftsmanship And pray, Messrs.
Morgan, Medill d. Co., was this done by
the local authorities Are he munich

questions to her Among the queries
thus submitted TO her were How many

From the Boston Transcript
Corpse Of a Guide found in the Ice TWEEN.
ty Years after Death.


Your columns on Monday contained a
paragraph from the Gazete de L usanne,
informing us that Jacques Balmot, one
of the earliest and most celebrated of AL
pine guides of Chomounix, lost twenty
years since, had recently been discover
ed, Gin the broken up ice, which forms
the alch of Arverson, still buried in Its
frozen tomb" This must have been a
great event for the Chamounians, and a
fact of more interest, perhaps, than
many Of your readers would suspect.
The exhumed body of this popular old
lrlend-the famous guide of Sassure in
1885 was received, We are told, with
every demonstration and II nor and re-
spect /; and nothing, 1 dare say. since the
fureore created by Albert Smith has so
excited the villagers resident under the
shadow of what Mr.. Choate, in his bril-
liant Oratory characterized as "culmina
ton of grandeur unmatched on earth"
Murray's Hand Book of Switzerland
and Savoy informs US hat Jacob Bal
mot, the most daring, skillful, and expe-
rienced of the guides, was the first who
made the ascent of Noun Blanc. When
he disappeared in 1885 he was 20 years
old. He went out with a hunter of Val
Orsine to chase the channels, parted from
him zeal the Pie du Midi, having propo-
sed an ascent which the other deemed
dangerous /; but poor Jacques was from
his youth a gold finder who believed thai
it would be possible to become rich by
such : discovery. He always preferred
to follow this ~pbantasy rather than act as
guide. and he paid for it The forfeit o.
his life. The spot from which he Tell,
over the precipices of the Mortine, /:
known, but to recover the body was con
sidered impossible"
This vas penned ten years since, anC
twenty from date of his loss his body i.
found at the mouth of the great Glazier,
the 'Merde Glace," in a perfect state o
preservation, at a point many feet below
the line of vegetation, and in the imme
dia'e vicinity of cultivated feds. The
source of the river Alveron is in this ola.
zier, and tie arch is as its extreme point
into the valley whence the river emptie:
itself.
Here are continually deposited the de-
bris of the mountain sides, borne n.
ward in the impreceptible sluggish course
of this sea of ice /; and here, preserved
from the decaying hand of time, the
tearing effect of ~avalanches, and the at.
triton of such a subterranean journey.
at this late hour hsscome forth the corpse
of poor Jacques.

the distance traversed by The body du-
ring this score Of years, but recollection:
of time consumed in a pedestrian excur-
sion in the vicinity of the catastrophe,
%inclines me to believe it from three to
five miles. Here is an item in the phi.

illustration of the Il cory of their mobili
ty. The body was literally engulphed
in solid ice at one end, and reappeared
at the other. KAHoTA.

The War Feeling in England.

The Courier and Enquirer saw
1t is certain that no government could
exist for a day, or bear the test of a sin
gle division in Parliament, much less of
an appeal to the people through a gener-
al election, which did not distinctly and
solemnly pledge itself to the prosecution
of the war. There is other evidence of
this popular enthusiasm for the war than
the assertions of a war like press or the
buster Of parliamentary harangues.
Three fourths of the electors of Great
Britain would declare for war. Now,
without stamping tn snaaiSA-What are
the grounds in the popular mind of this
conviction OF the business and necessity
of the war. What is to come of it ?
What does it portend? First, the gloomy
prospect of a protracted war. Let TO
one pretend to say, in the face Of what
England dared and suffered and spent in
the long wal which followed the French
Revolution, hat when her flag has once
been unfurled. her people once reused,
she will too niggardly count the cost of
what she has undertaken, or for any light
pICSSulSs vi any mOuiChlail ulStiVSS'
draw back her feet before she has o
auered her demands. And yet Russia
seems sill less likely to abate anything
of the desperate energy she has thrown
into the struggle. No trivial measures
will induce her to yield what the Allies
will persevere in dmanding. How many
Almas and Inkermans may yet have to
be fought /; how many winters endured,
how many CARS, ST. ARNAUDs, and
RAGLANs victimized /; how L-any Sebas
topols taken, or beseiged without being

fury these calami,ies may be prolonged,

really disheartening to read what I'M
mense preparations are being made in
