KANZAs SEAT OF GOVERNMENT. We un-
derstand that on his arrival in Kanzas, Gov.
Reeder was provided with accommodations
in the buildings of the U. S. military post of
Fort Leavenworth, as were also from time to
time other gentlemen who happened to visit
the place. The commanding officer of the
post, taking umbrage at an arrival Of par
ty III the northern interest as he conceived,
saw fit to post up an order that all ciUiIian8
should either leave the premises of the gov
eminent, or hand him report Of their busi-
ness, and the length of time they expected
to stay. The order had wider range than
he meant. Gov. Reeder upon seeing the
notice, with proper spirit, remarked that he
was himself civilian, but not responsible
to any military authority; he did not wish
to stay where he was not wanted and i'm
mediately removed himself with his secre-
taries, to the Shawnee Mission, which is now
headquarters and the seat of government for
the time being.
AS there has been great rivalry among the
people Of the different localities in this
State, in the eargerness to secure the estab-
lishment of the seat of government! each for
themselves, this incident is especially anu
sing to the people of the territory generally,
and vexatious to the citizens about Fort
Leavenworth.-- Boston Courier.

Bossuets coffin has been opened by supe-
rior order, and theatrical ceremony has been
performed over the ashes of the dead bishop.
On raising the lid, the head was found
wrapped in linen folds; these We're cut
away, and the face, so TO speak, was dug
out Of Its inner grave. Considering thai
Bossuet had been dead a hundred and fifty
years, the features were in good preservation
and the resemblance Of The counteuance to
Rigaud's portrait is said to have struck the
bystanders. An artist made sketch of the
face. At ten in the morning of the day fol-
lowing the disinterment, grand mass and
funeral service was perform+d--the bishop
and a great many priests officiating. All
the officers of state were present the coffir
was covered with gaudy ornaments, Gro.
2ier stood near it, and the old bishop was
once more buried as solemn spectacle.

are insdequste only one water closet is to be al.

In both of the above instances the British law
is departed from: First, in not having surgeon

number OF water closets required by that Law.
Mr.. Fish calls for one water-closet TO every 81
persons and PROVIDE that those for the use of the
females shall be located in separate aud remote
part of the ship. In the next place morality is
not considered, nor is any provision made for the
separation OF the sexes by the merchants bill.

them in separate apartments to be divided By

the Bishops to the laws of the land aud to the

hurting st their guilty heads the ligbtu ing Of OK

These proceedings against Piedmont form a
singular parallel to certain recent events in our
own country. few years sgo. the Romsn
Catholic Bskops of the United States, in Synod
assembled, decreed that church property should
benceforth be Invested in the persons OF the re-
speciiye Bishops-s decision in direct conflict
with the spirit Of cur laws regulating every kiAd
of property. Certainly, in none Of the most
Catholic countries of Europe would the Bishops
have presumed TO publish such syuodal decree.
Nowhere else would the cisi! authority have
allowed Il em to take measures thus recalling the
most arrogant epochs of clerical domination.
Even in the pending cases in Piedmont and Spain
though the struggle is for life or death on their
part, being for absolutely uncontrolled power
the Bishops would net dare TO congregate 10 such
a synod to promulgate their resolutions under
the form of laws obligatory on their congres,- I
tions. The thur derbot suspended in msnsce /
over the Piedmontese nation recalls that not long
ago leyeled at the St. Louis Church of Buffalo.
for presumiDg to maintain the an ,ient usage OF
the Church, and to keep their property out Of the
Bishops possession. 1: is striking fact that
this coDhc. between clergy and people should be
thus universal in the Catholic world, aud that
the point st issue should not be question Of
doctrine, but only the possession of those worldly
goods which the tue believer ought not to covet
or esteem.
