Kansas and the Organization Of
Congress-, .....H

"Inspector," the able and reliable
Washington correspondent of the New
York Courier and Enquirer, has written
some views in relation to the effect of
the Kansas question upon the organiza-
ton of the House, which are Of impor--
tance at the present time. We repeat
our conviction that neither Whitefeld nor
Reeder will be admitted as delegate, but
that the great question will turn upon
the admission of Kansas as a Free State.
But, this correspondent no doubt repeats
the present talk and feeling at the Ma
tional Capital, and as such it is of inter-
est:
The organization of the House will.
probably turn upon this single question,
of admitting Whitfield or Reeder. The
Northern members with the exception Of
about fifteen Democrats attached to the
Treasury, will vote for no man for Speak.
er who is not previously pledged to con-
stitute the committee on Elections in q
manner which shall preclude the recog-
milton of WhitGeld's pretentions. If he
is rejected, it will be upon the ground
that the election by which it is pretended
that he was chosen, was wholly invalid,
from the unconstitutional exclusion of
the Free State settlers from the polls.-
The election laws of the mock Legisla>
ture required, as a condition precedent to
the right to vote, that the voter, if chal-
lenged, should pay one dollar as regis.
traton fee, and swear to support the stat
uFs framed by its authority, and the fu-
gitiye slave act. Now whether these
conditions were Locally proper or improp-
er, there is no doubt that they were di-
rectly in conflict with the constitution.
In voting upon WhitGcld's preposterous,
claim to seat, therefore, it will not be
necessary even to pass upon the generak
question whether the mob meeting, CALI.
ing itself Legislature, was legal or not.
1t is enough that the decree adopted by
it ordering an election, was wholly uneOn-
stitutlonaI and void. 1t will remain to
be decided by the House whether. during
this suspension of Legislative authority,
the people of Kansas had right to elect
a delegate in order to secure their right
of representation. Upon the decision of
that point will depend the admission or
rejection of Governor Reeder who was.
of course, returned by the legal votes Of
the Territory, on the 9th instant, there
being no opposition We have yet heard
nothing of the proceedings on that day,
and it is only after the lapse Of fort
night that we have positive information
of the fact that Whitfield imported his
constituency the day before his election.
The Free State party have taken all suit
able measures to represent the whole
case to Congress, and not the slightest
pretext for misunderstanding its merits
will be left to either party. I

A New FEATURE IN BARNUM1sM,-We
observe the once renowned HENRY WARD

modest price per head of 50 cents per Ice

Of admirers, has subjected himself to such
mercenary objects; being toated around
as a monkey or a big "snaik" by some
lame or blind or deaf and dumb creature,
for the purpose of soliciting livelihood
at the hands Of the people. In Cincin-

there are Lecture Associations, he has re-

BABY Snow.--This affair, which has
Just came of at Cincinnati, has been made
the scolf OF every one that was in atten-
dance. We cannot immagine to what de-
gree of shame that any mother can arrive
at, to attend such an affair with their off
spring, whore they are subjected to the
sneers and jeers of all grades of people.
Could there be had record of the re-
marks made, upon that occasion, and han
ded TO each of those innocents after arriy-
ing at manhood, or sweet sixteen, what
would be the feelings of these then uncon-
cious brawlers, Shame, upon mother
that is so lost to humanity as to make a
public show of their babies, as does the
organ man with his monkey, or the show
man of dumb beasts, The nursery, is
the only place where such exhibitions
should be made.

ted by several ofour citizens, the proprio'

the Public Schools. This source Of edu'

pat into practice the better. Hosts oi
children, by this delay, are debarrcd from
these rights and privileges, and are per

A VIEW OF THE GRAVES, "A CORES

from Norfolk under date Of the 7th ult.
as follows: 4" | was out at the cemetery
last evening, and saw three graves open,
waiting for occupants, but there were for
tunalely none there for them. The Gem
etery presents sight sufficient to make
the stoutest heart feel sad to see the i'm
menSe space of broken ground. More
than half the lots have each three or four
newly made graves in them, and in other
places you will see twenty or thirty to-
gether, There are also numerous pits in
which the collins have been piled away
Unfortunately. There were number
of ladies there weeping over the graves
Of their relatives, and sprinkling them
with flowers placing beautiful boquets
on them. 1t was indeed a melancholy
sight, and though stranger among them,
with no near friend or relative to mourn,
it was difficult 10 withhold the tear OF
sympathy"

Work for the Legislature.

We had partly prepared an article upon
this subject, but as the following from the
Greeuville Journal, published in Darke
County comprehends all that we wish
ed for; we cheerfully copy the article and
endorse every word Of it; it comes from
the pen of true Republican, and will be
met by every one that loves equal rights,
with loud huzza:
But there are other questions which
have been decided by the people of Ohio,
of which the Republican majority in the
next Legislature must not be unmindful
The issue Of Siate reform was power
full element in the late canvass. The peo-
pie are tar-ridden, and they are tired oft.
Relief was promised in this respect, and
it must not be Withheld. Official snecures
must be abolished-the fashion of award
ing fat contracts to political fayorites -
which has wellnigh put our Public Works
"upon the township''-should be aban-
doned at once, and rigid economy char
acterize the administration Of the Board
of Public Works. The system of raising
the pubic Revenues should be changed,
30 that men shall pay taxes upon what
they oaon, and not upon what they O,ce.-
Our Banks have been taxed out of exis-
tence, and the circulating medium of the
State is composed almost exclusively of
the paper of foreign Banks. This error
should be correctedas speedily as possible,
and our currency furnished by Banks un-
der our own control.
These are some of the measures Of re-
form, which the people ask for, and which
they look to the Republican majority IN
the Legislature to accomplish, and that
speedily, Shall they be disappointed ?
" Gentlemen Of the Senate and House of
Representatives" it is for YOU to answer.
There are several other measures which
the people of Ohio have not asked for
and we trust our Legislators will not waste
their time upon them, and neglect the re-
forms which we have referred TO above
They have not asked for the passage of
the Maine Law or any thing akin to it.
They have not demanded the enactment OF
the personal liberty" law Of Massachu-
setts, in Ohio-and after the Reforms him
ted at above have been accomplished, if
nothing better should suggest itself upon
which to expend the time of the Legisla-
ture, an adjournment would be decidedly
more popular than any thing else, at al
likely to be done. Let us have session
of the Legislature, Gotorous not for talk,
but for acork. Do what has been promis-
ed, and whatever else you can think of that
! is good, and then adjourn. Don imag,
inc that you were elected to legislate fol
the United States, and spend your time
and your breath in telling Congress what
to do and what not to %. Look after the
interests of the people of Ohio, it is they
who elected you, and they who pay you
for your services. The twenty-one Re,
pubicans who represent us at Washington
have the ability and the back bone to at,
tend to our National affairs. Do y0u look
after Ono interests at Columbus, and
there is a glorious future for the Republi,
can party"
