The Abend- Zeitung has an excellent article
on the conflict in Kansas, in which the cause
of the evil is shown to be not only the lnVa-
sions of the Border Ruflians, but the sham laws
they have enacted, and which the Cincinnati Con-
vention and Mr. Buchanan have sOlemnly endorsed.
Let no one be deceived, says The Abend-Zeit-
xng. "there is absolutely no other means of put
'ting an end to the struggles in Kansas except the
entire annument of the DEGREES OF that quasi
" Ieeislature and the holding of new elections
upon the basis of new electoral law to be
passed by Congress" This is good idea; but
what would be better would be the admission OF
Kansas under the Topeka Constitution. Ii, how
ever that cannot be done, the next best course is
that so forcibly recommended by our cotemporary'
