KANSAS.

We have nothing of very great import
ance from Kansas this week. At last ac-
counts the man who shot Jones had not
been discovered. Robinson, the Free
State Governor had offered $500 reward
for the apprehension of the assassin. We
have seen it stated that Jones had died
from the effects of his wound, but will
not vouch for the truth Of the statement,
as the announcement, like many others
connected with this unfortunate Kansas
affair. may have been made for political
effect.
Many Free State men have been arrest
ed by the civil officers, assisted by the
U. S. troops, and it is supposed the trou-
BILE has ended for short ime--the bor-
der rufians have made sufficient a.
mount of political capital out of the shoot
ing of Jones to answer their purposes al
this time.

ASSESSORS BLANKS.

Dennison is determined not to be salts
fed. He now finds fault " ith the Auditor
for allowing us just the same amount for
printing Assessors blanks that was allow
ed that establishment last year for print
ing ten guires less than we furnished this
year.
ed by the Auditor to send for said blanks,
shows that he is either disposed to mis-
represent the facts, or, that he has been
deceived by his informant. The facts
are these, the Auditor ordered us to print
what he considered a sufficient NUN
Der of blanks for the county, which we
did in our own Office. When he come to
distribute them among the Assessors, he
found that he had not enough, and order
ed sufficient number to supply the de-
dciency. AS we had the type distribu-
ted, we sent to Cleveland for fifteen qu;res,
for which we did not charge the county
one cent. Our bill for printing Asses
sor's blanks was the same as that of the
"Vindicator" last year, notwithstanding
the increase Of taxables made it necessa-
ry to furnish great eaany more,
We never believed, nor did we ever in
innate, that the publisher Of the "Vindi-
Gator" received more than fair compen-
sation for york performed for the county,
and by reference to our bills fled in the
Office Of the Auditor, it will be seen that
we have not, in single instance, charged
more than was charged for the same work
by the proprietors of that establishment.
We believe. also, that it is the duty OF
County Officers to get their blanks print
ed at home, instead of sending to Cities
for them. where they are printed by
steam, in large establishments. with which
it is impossible for the country press to
compete successfully. ADd we do not
think there is . tax payer in the
county who would be so mean as tc
thus contribute his mite to the support
of the local press with any other than
feelings of pleasure. We think that any
editor who will honestly counsel differ
ent course on the part of county officers,
is a perfect 6ooby. and one who will raise
the cry for political purposes, to say the
least of him, lacks discretion. I'VE know
.hat printers are more poorly paid fol
their labor than any other set of men who
are employed by the county, or the State
either, and we hope we never shall show
ourself to, be such consummate n;ncum
poop as to engage in any effort having
for its object the reduction of the misera
bic pittance allowed them for their la
Dor.
These are our sentiments, neighbor
/ plainly expressed, and we think that
when you have been engaged in The
printing business as long as we have, your
opinions will coincide with ours.

work day and night, endeavoring to keep

RAIL ROAD CONSOLIDATION.

For some time project has been on
foot for the consolidation Of the o. q Pa,
the o. d Ia, and Fort Wayne and Chi
cago Railroads, and We are really glad
to be able to inform our readers, that all
the necessary arrangements have been
made, and that The action of the repre-
sentatives of the severa! companies only
awaits the ratification Of the stockholders
to complete the consolidation.
The following points have been agreed
upon at the recent conference of the Di-
reetors VI the several lines: -=s-'4
1st The stock in the several roads hav-
ing been conceded to be of different val
ue. the relative values were agreed upon
as follows:
Ohio and Indiana Stock. 100
Fort Wayne and Chicago, LOG
Ohio & Pennsylvania, 12O
9. Interest in stock on stock entitled to
draw interest to be allowed to the first
of July. 1856.
3. The name of the new corporation
to be the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railroad Company.
4. The number of directors to be IF
teen, of whom one shall be a resident OF
the city Of New York. four of Pennsyl-
vania, four Of Ohio, four Of Indiana, and
two of Illinois.
S. The articles Of consolidation to be
submitted to the stockholders of the
respective companies on the second day

the election of Directors to be held in the
city of Pittsburgh on the Gath day o.
July, 1856.
Z. There shall be a President, and
Vice President who shall be elected BY
the Directors from their own number.
This will be good news to the friend:
of the o. & Ia. road, and we cannot lie
the occasion pass without congratulating
our friend JUDaE McKELLEY, who has Ia
bored so zealously and faithfully for the
consumation Of the consolidation project
He certainly deserves the thanks of those
interested in the o. q la. Railroad, fol
under the new arrangement this road viii
be portion of one OF the most importan
lines OF Railroad in the United States-i
will bring Chicago. and large portion o
the great west, nearer to Philadelphia
and New York than any other line nov
in operation. This being the case, W
look, upon it as being the best thing tina
could possibly have been done for the pro
motion Of the interests of this road.
/ The only thing required to consum
mate this important arrangement is th'
consent of majority of the Stockholders
which will be obtained without the leas
difficulty.

WONT BECoMFORTED.

It seems that it is impossible for the
kind and courteous old gentleman who
holds the Office of Auditor of this county
to satisfy Mr. Dennison, of the "Vindica-
tor" He mourns over the loss of the
spoils in manner that is truly heart
rending, and, no matter what we say or
do for him, he will not be comforted-his
grief cannot but awaken feeling of pity
in the most callus heart.
: Some OF the childish freaks of the gen.
tleman are a little amusing. too. One
day he finds fault with the Auditor be-
cause he will not give HIM some of the
laws to publish; and on the next, when
the Auditor offers him such laws as he
deems it expedient tA r-.hl;-l. ;-.-L:~ p
per, he flies off in tQntrum and says he
won't have them.
If an ill-dispositioned child were to
ask you for cake, and you would break
it and offer him half of it, he would feel
himself grossly insulted and refuse to take
any at all. This is our neighbor Denni-
sons position. He asked the Auditor to
let him have grab at the spoils; and as
that officer deemed it proper to make the
grab for him, in order to make it as light
as possible, he throws himself back upon
his dignity and says he prefers to maintain
his inde ependence. That is, if he cannot
get all that he wants, he prefers to gram
6le on, with the hope Of creating the i'm
preston that the Auditor has not done
his duty in the premises.
Now neighbor, let's be serious. II
these laws about which you are raising
such a hub bub are of so much impor-
tance to your readers as YOU intim te.
why, in the name of all that's honorable,
don't you publish them. even though
you are not paid for doing SO. This
should be our course. We do not ex
pect Locofoco office holder to publish
in our paper, if he can avoid it in any way
we know we would be disappointed il
we did-and you can rest assured that
We will never find fault with him for pur.
suing such course towards US. Come,
neighbor be a man-acknowledge that
all your talk about the publication of the
laws has been-for political effect. If you
do, you will no doubt add very much tc
your reputation for sincerity and candor

GIBSON VS.. KELLEY. .

We this week, to the exclusion of our u.s.
ual variety, give place to the able defence
of w. H. Gibson Esq. We have observ-
ed in the conduct of Alfred Kelley-the
great Bank King or ''land shark"-ever
since Mr.. Gibson entered upon the du-
ties of his Office, a disposition not only to
.embarass him in the discharge of those
duties, but to throw shade of suspicion
upon his character as a man and an off,
Ger. -.sos..
Being pretty well acquainted with the
State Treasurer. and knowing that, IN
this part of Ohio, where he is best known,
the character of the peoples favorite.
Bill Gibson, for honesty and integrity. is
above suspicion, we come to the conclu-
81 on that there was a colored Individual
concealed in the fuel somewhere, and that
old Alfred was not actuated by the pu-
rest motives which the mind of an honest
man could conceive Of, in his studied ef-
forts to embarass and injure Mr.. Glib
son.
The sequel has proven that our sus-
picions were well founded-Mr. G. re-
fused to deposit the funds of the State in
a certain institution in which Mr.. Kelley
was interested, and hence his repeated
attacks upon that officer. II seems that
this man Kelley has constituted himself
one of the owners of the State OF Ohio,
and he consideredi it presumptuous on the
part of Mr.. Gibson to refuse to obey the
commands of his lordsbip. Bel ng mem.

late arrival from California make it almost
certain that the wheat crop in that State
will be abundant beyond precedent. The
late rains ale producing the best effect,

most fourishing condition. This will have
the effect to entirely stop the shipment oI
flour from New York to that country. AS
the war is over in Europe. and the people
are left to the undisturbed cultivation o

that prices will rule much lower in Grea
