KANSAS QuEr.-From all accounts it seems
that the troables in Kansas are over, and all
parties are relapsng into peace and tranquility.
The shareholders and the free settlers have set
themselves down side by side, and are usefully
engaged in tilling the earth, or building houses,
or undertaking other works necessary for the
deyelopement of the country and its preparation
for admission to the Union. Where, short
time since, there was nothing heard but the
sound of strife, and threats Of revolvers and so
forth, the voice of merriment has now the field
to itself, and the only tools in requisition are
the axe, the plough, and the saw. So much for
the ominous forebodings of the free sellers.
1t seems likely that Kansas will afford a
solution of problem that has been much dis
cussed without as , ct, any definite understand
ing being had upon its merits. The free sellers
from the East and the slaveowners from the
South have, as we said, settled side by side,
and engaged in similar pursuits. Labor for
profit is the spirit of both. Now it is quite
clear that in very few years all these pie
will know exactly whether free labor or slave
labor is the most profitable for that region, be-
cause they will have tried both under like con-
ditions, and watched the results. If afer few
years trial, say, when they apply for admis-
sion as State, slave labor has been found the
best, they will frame constitution acknow-
lodging slavery; if on the contrary as the
abOlitionists pretend, slave labor be really
more costly than free, they will Of course have
found it out, and will exclude slavery by their
own act.
An experiment of the kind has been much
needed in this country to settle the debated
question of the relative productiveness of slave
and free labor. It is pretty nearly established
now that in by far the greater part Of the South
whites can labor as safely and as productivity
as the negroes; though it seems unlikely that
any European race will ever be able to labor in
the fields in such climate as that of Cuba or
parts Of Louisiana, Alabama and Texas. The
question is whether hired white labor would be
as profitable as slave labor in those regions
where the whites can work. Aud that question
can only be decided by full experiment in
southern latitude, where whites and blacks
work side by side. This experiment is being
tried in Kansas. If for no other reason than
the Importance of having it made, it would
have been a pity to exclude slavery from the
country.

Curious CRIMINAL CASE BEFORE THE Court
OF SEssIoNs.-The second trial of Lyman Cole
for forgery on the Chemical Bank commenced
the day before yesterday, and will probably
continue for several days to come. 1t will be
recolected that the first trial on this indictment
resulted without a verdict; the jury disagreed
and were diemisssd.
The evidence in this case is precisely of the
the same character as that which was given on
the trial of Kissane, who owing to its force and
clearness, was at once convicted and sentenced
to two years and half in the State prison,
where he now is. If the evidence, after rigid
examination, was sufficient to convince an impair
tal jury of the guilt Of Kissane it seems strange
that the same facts should be questioned o,.the
trial of his associate on the same charge. This
discrepancy in the two trials has drawn in re-
markable degree the attention of the public to
the management of the case before the Court
of Sessions, in which his Honor Recorder
Smith presides II must be in the recollection
of most Of our readers that Kissane and Cole
were implicated, with number of others, in the
famous MarthaWa Washington case, which occupied
the courts in the Western States for such
length of time, and which baffled all the legal
industry and skill that were employed
to procure conviction against the ac-
cused parties. 1t is generally supposed that
tie outside pressure brought to bear during
this trial in the Western States was of such
character as to prevent the healthy current of
public justice from flowing in its natural chan
nels. We are certain, however, that when pub
lie attention in these ATTITUDES is directed to
the action of courts and juries, no secret or in
direct influence can prevent the operation OF
truth and fact on the minds of those engaged
in the administration of justice.
If on the same evidence Lyman Cole should
be acquitted Of the charges brought against him
in reference to the forgeries on the Chemical
Bank, we see no reason why Kissane should
continue any longer an inmate of the State
prison. OF the fact Of the forgeries there can
be no question. Money was drawn by their
means from the Chemical and other banks, and
the only point of difficulty is as to the identid-
cation of the parties who perpetrated them
This is the question for an honest court and
jury to decide.
THE curious trial has already developed some
remarkable features, which we recommend to
the attention of our readers. As the trial pro-
ceeds it will, no doubt disclose some new facts
which may call for further comment at our
hands.

SALARIES OF JuDGEs-Tbe resolutions now
before the Board of Supervisors for incr easing
the salaries of the Judges seem to encounter
strong opposition on the part Of some of our
contemporaries. We differ from the conclusions
Of these political economists. The salaries OF
our judicial officers are in general too small
Of all the functionaries Of republican govern
ment, the Judges are the most important; and
this is particularly the case in this republic.
Other officials have various direct and indirect
ways Of adding to their emoluments, such as,
for instance, by contracts, lobby fees and
brides. The Judges are, however, isolated
from the public treasury, and, it is to be pre-
sumed, also from all corrupt influences. Their
position gives them great power over the moral
elements of society, but il is expected that they
sbsll only employ il for the public good. To
preserve them from the temptations that beset
otter men IN public life, it Is important that

The Hon. c. G. LEIGH.-Lawyers are used
to have hard things said of them, but Mr.. Leigh
has surpassed the most vindictive of the enemies
of the bar. He compares them to Cyprians;
and afterwards seeming to consider even this
comparison too hatteripg, he adds that they are
like cabbage or sleeps head. These compliments
are predicated on the supposed venality of
the gentlemen of the bar, who according to Mr..
G. c. Leigh are ready to give an opinion on
either side of a question for a fee. It is unfor-
tunate for the temperance orator that the next
proceeding after this speech of his was the
"sending round plate and the taking up a
collection" The bar may be venal but i.
appears that even such pure patriots and moral
reformers as Mr.. G. G. Leigh cannot dispense
with plate and collection. And if the law
yers are paid for their opinions, the thing is
done openly and is understood by every one;
whereas the greener portion of humanity
would be likely to suppose that the Carson
League and G. G. Leigh are disinterested were
it not for the published appeals Of the former
for "forty thousand dollars or a larger sum-"
and for the plate which is sent round after the
latter has ended his homilies on corruption

Too MANY IRONS IN THE FIRE. Citizen Robes
pierre McElrath, true to his instincts, still de-
tends the bloody policy of the Mayor of Port
land, and now declares that the enemies of the
law who coDspired against it in Maine have been
discovered. We suppose that if such is the
case, Neal Dow will have them brought out
and shot down like rabbits, as he did few
days since with another party of conspirators
who wanted Neal Dow to obey Neal Dow's
law. Citizen Robespierre McElrath is also fa-
rious against increasing the salaries of Judges,
but he has no objection to take salary as
President of the Nassau Bank while plotting
against the interests of the business men who
support it. Citizen Robespierre McElrath ar
IDENTIFY desires that the system of English club
life shall be introduced in this community. Now,
the London club life system is one Of exclusive
grogshops, where drinking, gambling and
gormandizing are carried on in private way,
hey ond the reach of law or public opinion.
Citizen Robespierre McElrath has rather too
many irons in the fire. We should not be sur
prised if some of them the Nassau Bank iron,
for example-should suddenly get cool.
