Peace in Kansas Not Wanted by the Poiti-

Peace In hansas Not Wanted by the Poiti.
Telegraphic dispatches say the Free Kan
sas party are again marching into that Terri
tory, armed with Sharp's rifles. We hope
that every one of them will be dsarmed be-
fore he will be allowed TO cross the borders
of the Territory. That Territory is now un-
der martial law, and the United States au.
:horities have turned the lawess, fighting men
of both sides out. There has been peace with
10 the Territory ever since, but peace is not
wanted. The Kansas troubles are too good
for electioneering purposes to allow peace
and quiet 10 reign, and hence an attempt 10
create disorder and outrage again. The ma.
iority in the House of Congress are endeav.
oring to assist this state of affairs. They have
passed an amendment 10 the army bill, de-
claring that The President shall not use any
Of the military in enforcing The laws of the
present territorial government. This is equiv
alent 10 saying that there shall be no law al
all, and oulrages may take place with impu-
nifty. This amendment will not pass the
Senate, but the attempt 10 control the Presi-
dent in his constitutional duty shows that
there are those who would rather have The
murders snd burnings in Kansas which they
have SO industnously psraded before the pub.
lie, continue little while longer till after the
Preside ntial election, so that they may polit-
icatly trade upon Them. The President un-
derstands his duty, and seems determined TO
perform it faithfully and impariially. Hence
be will not withdraw the military till Con.
gress pass law providing for an election by
the people Of Kansas 10 decide whether they
shall come into the Union or not. The pres.
ence of the military is necessary in Kansas
till that election is over, TO guard against IN
cutsious from surrounding States on the esc.
tion day, with view to intimida!e voters, or
10 fill the ballot box with illegal voies. The
absence of force sufficient 10 prevent such
outrages has been the cause of bitter revil.

and likely to prevent any Interference with
the legal residents of the State and the fair
expression Of their opinion, the same persons
who SO loudly complained are trying to get it

CURTosiTIEs OF DUELLINa.-Among the most
remarkable circumstances connected with
the dueao in this country, is that of the change
of sentiment at the North and South relating
10 the code Of honor. According to Sabine's
Notes, the first duel fought in North Amer.
ca was in New England, between two Puri.
tans, while the first law against dueling was
Introduced into Congress, in the year 1902,
by Virginlan, while the most forcible and
eloquent appeals against the practice of du-
elling have been made by South Carolini-
ans. Gen. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, OF
South Carolina, one of the most eminent
men that State has produced was Chairman
OF a. Committee, appointed By the Society of
Cincinnati, to draft memorial against duel
ling. 1t is bu, four years since, that another
eminent South Carolinian, MIR. Rhelt, de-
clined TO engage in duel with Senator
Clemens, of Alabama, aud proclaimed his
abhorence of the practice in The Senate
chamber. Although every State in the Un.
ion has assed laws against duelling, yet the
first opposition 10 the practice appears 10
have originated at the South, where il has
now become an institution, while al the
North il has ceased 10 be resorled 10 by any
class of the people-N Y. Times.

= The President has pardoned Wagner,
the ouly person convicted of being engaged
in the enisting in the United States for a
foreign power in the Crimean war. The
reasons are that the International question
which grew ont of this scan,alous violation
of our laws has. been happily and amicably
disposed of; the official functions of the
principal offender have ceased, and it is moi
considered necessary TO pursue further the
municipal offence of subordinate persons con-
cerned.

We learn from the Philadelphia press, that
Hollis who was charged with counterfei,ins

has been committed to Moyamensng jail for
trial in default of bail. The examination
remedies in this country had long since ex-

cry city of the Union, has been closely watch
ed, the extent of their business ascertained,
and finally system of counierfeiiing planned
out which, In extent and magnitude, has
probably never been equalled ir this or in
any other country. We hope the fortunate
arrest of the chief conspirator, Hollis, vile
tend 10 explode the whole scheme all the
Mat erial of the rascaly combination is now
in the hands of the police. Is is somewhat
difficult to counterfeit the remedy Of Prof.
Holloway with impunity. His agents "cove,

ever open TO the interests OF the sick, which
are in fact 'one and inseparable.' Hollis and
his gang forgot this independent medical po.
lice, ever on the alert, all In direct communi.
cation with the Office in New York. They
left out Of their calculation the boundIess
pecuniary resources of Professor Holloway,
and under estimated his zeal and Iiberality
when engaged IN hunting down the double
kpavery that tampsred with the public health
while it songht TO rob him of his reputation.
The timely discovery of this scheme of
wholesale rascaIiiy, will, we trust, be warn.
ing 10 medical counlerfeiers. The counter.
felt plates, labels, &c., are all in the hands
Of the authorities of Philadelphia, and the
conspiracy is utterly crushed. It's effect has
been to exhibit in more striking light the
unparalleled popularity OF Holloway's Pills,
