subscriptions. We should be happy to
double our list Immediately. and feel
confident we could do so If each friend of
the paper would give the subject little
attention, and labor with his neighbor and

that q claim exists against every freedom

most to sustain free press in Kansas

ED. HERALD-DEAR SrR IL Lail your
paper as among the most interesting |
peruse. The facts which are developing
themselves on the Kansas question are
truly alarming. Can it be that the South
generally win acquiesce in the outrages
perpetrated by the Goths and Vandals of
western Missouri? IF so. must we not
calculate on troublesome times
The northern press is speaking in
terms not TO be mistaken in behalf of the
rights of Kansas, and It's cheering TO see
a southern paper. the ablest, probably, in
the whole Mississippi yalIey-I mean

law and justice; and condemning in char
acteristic language the riotous. acts of
Atchison and his white slave coadjusors.

A Good Book.

FowLERs & Wells. 3os Broadway, n.
Y, have our thanks for copy Of their
late publication entitled "Results of Pro-
hibition in Connecticut" being special
returns received from every county as 10
the effects of the Maine Liquor Law,
containing contributions from the Cover
nor and upward of fifty clefgymen, judg-
es, and private citizens. The work is
edited by Henry L. Cfubb, Sec'y of the
Maine Liquor Law Statistical Society,
and contains portraits of Rev. Lyman
and Henry Ward Beecher and Rev. John
Pierpont. with map showing at a glance
the extent of prohibition in the United
States. Price 95 cts.
The publishers of that map must erase
those black lines from Nebraska; as the
Legislature of that Territory has already
closed up every avenue to the liquor traf-
6c in that region. AS soon as the resi-
dent voters Of this Territory can elect a
Legislature of their own, the same will
be true of Kansas. Our people are al
most invariably in favor of a prohibitory
liquor law.

dReturned ana sin Alive.

From our young friend Mr.. Lyle, who
has just returned from a flying visit to
Independence, we learn that the notorious
M. f. CONWAY reached Kansas city, on
his return to our Territory, on Tuesday
last. Wonder if CONWAY aspires to q
seatin our Legislative Assembly? There
is fun ahead.-Leauenacorth Herald.
Nr. CoKwAY has been sojourning for a
few days in this city, but we believe has
now passed on to Pawnee. He is desir-
Gus of making the acquaintance of the
miserable tools of the slave power who
have been SO liberal in their abuse of him
during the last few months, because he
dared to have mind of his aown. He
was born and reared in the South, and
his warm blood is quite as sparkling as
the most brilliant of those wboare seeking
to crush him. 'There Is fun aheadt' in
earnest, and the man who lays the weight
of straw contemptuously on ii. F..
CONWAY, Esq, viii experience liberal
share of that "funH for himself. "There
is time when forbearance ceases to be a
virtue - 1t is possible to find men UNI
prepared for an attack, as was the case
with Mr.. PHILLIPS, when he was so inhu-
manly treated; but one case of that kind
viii suffice for a whole year.
We had prepared another article in re-
lation to Mr.. c., but by some means it
has become mislaid.

Concealed Weapons

A law against concealed weapons has
just been passed by the Legislature of
Louisiana. The first section declares
that whoever shall carry a weapon or
weapons concealed on or about his per-
son, such as pistols, boWic-kniges, dirks,
or any other dangerous weapon, shall be
liable TO prosecution by indictment or
presentment, and ON conviction, for the
first offence shall be fined not less than
two hundred and fifty dollars, nor more
than five hundred dollars, OF imprison-
ment for one month; and for the second
offence not less than FIVE hundred dol
lars nor more than one thousand dollars,
or Imprisonment in the parish prison at
the discretion of the Court, not to exceed
three months.
A law of that kind would have had no
force with the marauders from neigh
boring State who desecrated the ballot
box in this Territory on the 3oth March.
Their weapons were displayed in every
form, apparently with the object of
frightening those whom they supposed
never saw such instruments before
Poor simpletons! Had they made dis
play of their prowess they would have
received a practical demonstration that
reuolpers were not the only instruments
of death which brave men could employ
in defence of their hearth-stenes.

Cholera.

Various opinions exist among physi-
eians in regard to this disease. We have
conyersed with several intelligent practi-
TONERS in this place on the subject, and
some of them deny positively that a well
marked case of this disease has been
among us. The general inclination at
this season of the year is to bowel COM
plants, and these are of mild or more
aggravated form according to the nature
of the surrounding circumstances. In
our opinion water or atmosphere has had
but little to do with the disease further
than to produce ravenous appetite.
which being gratiied has over-taxed the
digestive organs. produced a morbid
liver. and general. bilious habit which
presents itself in hillary diseases of which
diarrhea and dysentery are types. We
have not yet heard Of a case of bowel
complaint which has not readily yielded
to the usual remedies, if attended to dur
ing the first stages of its attack. The
danger seems to be in allowing it to run
any length of time without being checked.

What are the Facts.

When the returns were made to Sec
rotary WooDsoN of the recent election
in this Territory, TO 6ll the vacancies
made such by the frauds Of March 30th,
instead Of acting upon them they were
sealed up and pu. away until the arrival
of Governor REEDER, without an exam
iRation. Perhaps, it was this incident
which gave rise to the rumor that cert;f-
icates of election had been issued 10 the
fraudulent candidates /: and then again,
perhaps il was owing to the previous IS
suing of certificates which induced Mr.
WooDsos to take the course be did in the
premises. We shall wait with anxiety
for the facts In the case.

Mowinz Machines.

Is anybody making preparations for
putting up hay this season in the Terri
tory There are millions of acres of
the best grass in the world in Kansas,
now nearly ready for the scythe, and
many thousands of cattle must be sup
piled next winter with food, and vet we
see no preparations for cutting hay. We
would suggest that several persons in
every locality join and procure moving
and raking machines, and set them to
work. Last winter hay commanded
$50 to s25 ton. With machines the
biggest kind of wages can be made st
81 ton. The heavy emigration in re-
serve for Kansas this fall win furnish q
market for ell that can be supplied at not
less than SIS. and more probably as high
as 81 ton. Grass viii remain green
until the first of October. though that
cut in July and Angus. commands the
best price.
