The Work cOaaa21aeseced.

Notwithstanding the want of rain, and
the backwardness of the Spring the People
of Kansas and Nebraska will have cause
to rejoice when they learn that two parties
have entered upon the surveys of the prin-
cipal lines In the twe Territories; and will
proceed with the execution of their con-
tracts with all possible dispatch: and cause
return of the standard parallels and guide
meridian lines to be returned to the Sur
veyor Generals Office at the earliest day
possible, so as to enable other parties To-
enter upon the survey of the Township
lines which will be followed up with sub
divisions of sections and quarter sections
The gentlemen Messrs Ludlie & Manners
head the two parties that have entered the
field. Mr. Ludlie's field of operation is
confined to Kansas and Mr.. Manners goes
to Nebraska, both of whom rank. high In
the scale of their professions and are known
to beieliable and energetic men That their
work viii be executed with accuracy and
dispatch, none who know them will doubt.
The operations in the Surveyor Generals
department has been much retarded on ac-
count of the lateness Of the grass, which is
an indispensable element to the undertake
| ing of the surveys. General Calhoun has
been using every effort to organize his
board of surveyors from the best practical
men in the country; and he has left undone
nothing that Will tend to the execution Of
his official trust-in the most satisfactory

MANY SauATTERs.

In consequence of the great num-
Der OF communications received this week,
We have been necessitated to retrench a
great portion OF our editorial matter, and to
exclude from eur columns number OF In
,eresting articles which will appear in our
nsxt issue.
Kansas weekly herald., 1855-04-27

The Citizens Of Kansas 4erraorE. after
more reasonable period Of projection, have
been efnphafeally convinced that the pre-
sent Govenor Of Kansas Territory, 10 pos
aitiyely unit for, and incompetent to the da-
ties Of this high and responsible position.
This assertion is. s.demonstrated to nniyersal
satisfaction in want of acqnaintancs with
and interest in the people, an ignorance Of
their character and general necessities, and
other important points of view, as shown In
every official step which he has taken, from
the time that he commenced acting in the
capacity as Governor. These inconyenien-
ces arising III the appointment of an East
ern man, necessarily ignorant of our West
ern country, and all our characteristics,
whose competency would have consisted IN
a possession of the very qualities, the abb
sence of which IN the gubernatorial compo-
sition of Mr.. Reeder, establishes his incom-
potency to the duties of the Office which he
now holds. -
The citizens of Kansas Territory regard
the appointment of any man as Governor
of people, without reference to the choice
to those who are of necessity to become sub
ject, to his administrations, as an exercise
of arbitrary power, unsustained by any
sanction of republican form, principle or
precedent: Therefore, the citizens of Kan
sas Territory have resolved, for the pur-
pose of remedying the evils and inconye-
niences inflicted upon them from the Exc
eutive Chair of Kansas Territory, TO hold
Election at LeavenwoTth city, on the 2Sth
day of April, (present month, for the pur-
pose of electing some suitable person to
succeed the present Governor whose reno
val from said Office will be solicited at the
hands of the President of the United States
by the citizens of Kansas Territory.
1t is, therefore earnestly enjoined upon
the citizens of the different Districts through
out the Territory to send one Delegate to
Leayenworth city on the 20th of the pre-
sent month (April, } for purpose of conferr-
ing upon this subject and TO select some
suitable and competent. citizen of the Ter
ritory to fill this office; whose appointment
by said convention at Leavenworth city
shall sent or cause to be sent to the Presi-
dent of the United States, as may be deter
mined by the said convention, and request
ing the removal of the present incumbent,
and an appointment as his successor of the
person who may be selected In the manner
above described as the choice of>the people.
It is earnestly requested that the citizens
of every District in Kansas Territory will
give this subject their undivided attention,
and not fail to be represented in this con-
Yention.

Citizens of Kansas Territory.

Ihe 1olloWlng resolutions, WHICH WcIe
adopted at meeting of the Pawnee as
socintion on the 1lth inst, we publish for
the special benefit of all stockholders who
are delinquent in the payment Of the last
voted assessment.
Gentlem en-! 'sshell OUT before the 11th

and your names expungned from the As
sociation.
PAwS4E, KANSAS TERRITORY,
April, 11th 1866.
At meeting of the Pawnee Associa-
ton held this day the following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Whereas there are number of stock
holders in the Town of Pawnee who have
neglected to pay the assessment last voted
by the Association; and whereas it is at
this time especially necessary that means
should be at the disposal of the Trustees
wherewith to prosecute successfully the US
ual undertakings in which they are enga-
ged; and whereas it is improper that a few
members of tee Association should have
the chief burden of our operations whilst
others contribute little or nothing to its
advancement but are willing to aggrandize
themselves at its expense; and whereas it
is provided by the I'd Section of Article Sd
of the Constitution that stockholders who
after due notice shall fail to make pay
ment of such assessments as are duly lev
led, shall by majority vote of the Asso-
citation forfeit their shares to the remaining
stockholders: therefore
Resolved, That those stockholders who
after thirty days from this date shall not
have paid the assessment voted by the as
sociation at its meeting On the 18th of
March last shall forfeit the share or shares
owned by them and shall no longer there.
after be deemed members of this Associ-
alton.
ResolUed, That the Secretary of the Board
of Trustees be divided, as soon as possible
after the expiration of the period mentions
ed in the 1st resolution to advise the pub
lie through one or more newspapers pub
iished in this Territory, of the forfeiture OF
such shares, the owners of which shall not
have made payment as required, stating
the numbers of the forfeited certificates
which are hereby declared cancelled and
of no effect.
Resotued, That the Secretary of the
Board OF Trustees be directed to advise de-
linqnent stockholders of the passage Of
these resolutions either by public adver-
tisement, private notice, or both if in his
opinion it is necessary.
Resolvsd, That upon such shares as may
be forfeited by these resolutions the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the Board of Trus-
tees will Immediately Issue new certif-
Gates naming the corresponding numbers
of those cancelled in favor Of the Trustees,
who are hereby instructed with the pro-
prietorship of such shares to be sodisposed
of by them as will in their opinion best ad.
vance the interest OF the Association.

enues Of fine old lindcns, as many fountains and
statues as Versailles, and splendid cascade
The furniture is in keeping with the hotel and
grounds; it cost $40O, 900. He lived in this es-
