lowing week. Doctor Philipson and Doctor
Nash were both present, but Harry Crofts HIM
self did it. His nerve was wonderful. Lettie
behaved admirably too; indeed nobody was fool

1t was entirely successful; my sister has her
sight now as well as have. For several weeks
We kept hepin darkened room, but she was
gradually permitted to face the light, and the JOY
of that time is more than can describe.
Harry Cfofts soon after claimed her as his wife;
and really, to say the truth, nobody had better

had made lifted himsat once into consideration;
and as he made diseases of the eve his particu-

Dr. Philipson himself; and many persons indeed
give him the preference. The operation, then

Official Report on the Kansas Cutrages
The report OF the majority ofthe House lnves-
tigating committee fills seventeen columns OF the
n Y. Tribune. 1t will, with the testimony Ia
KEN which is also vounnous, be printed by
Congress, and viii form an authentic history of
n series of the most dark and dainning wrongs
and outrages ever recorded
The Committee report the following facts and
conclusions as established by the testimony:
First-Tbat each election in the Territory held
under the organic or alleged Territorial law has
been carried on by organized inyasions from the
State of Missouri, by which the people of the
Territory have been prevented from exercising
the rights secured 10 them by the organic law.
Second-That the alleged Territorial Legisla-
ture was an.ilegally constituted body and had
no power to pass valid laws, and their enact
ments are, therefore, null and void
Third-That these alleged laws have not, as
general thing, been used to protect persons and
properly and 10 punish wrong, but for unlawful
purposes.
Fourtk--That the election under which the
sitting delegate, John w. Whitfield holds his
seat, was not held in pursuance to any valid law
and it should be regarded only as the expression
of the choice of the resident citizens who voted
for him.
Ftth-That the election under which the con-
testing Delegate, Andrew III. Reeder, claims his
seat, was not held in pursuance of law, and that
it should be regarded only as the expression of
the choice of the resident citizens who voted for
him.
Si1th-That Andrew H. Reeder received a
greater number of votes of resident citizens than
John w. Whitfield, for Delegate
Serenth-That in the present condition of the
Territory a fair election cannot be held without
a new census, stringent and well guarded cleo
ton law, the selection of impartial Judges, and
the presence OF United States Troops at every
place of elect on.
Eighth-That the various elections held by the
people of the Territory preliminary to the form
alton of the State Government, have been as reg
ular as the disturbed condition of the Territory
would allow; and that the Constitution passed
by the Convention, held in pursuance of said
elections embodied as the will of majority of
the people.
As it is not the province of your committee to
suggest remedies for the existing troubles in the
Territory of Kansas, they content themselves
with the foregoing statement of facts.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
WIN. A. HOWARD,
JOHN SHERMAN.
