OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.

Private letters from England received at
Washington by the America, says a correspon-
dent of the Herald, state that very little ex-
element was produced there because of the
recognition by the United States of Nicaragua
the dismissal of Mr.. Champion. They also
state that our Minister will not receive his pass
ports, and that there is no danger of a rupture
between the two governments. This is cor
roborated by dispatches received at the State
Department, which it is said removed a great
weight of anxiety from the mind of Mr.
Marcy. Up to the 19th instant, the news Of
Mr.. Champions dismissal, had not been official
" announced in Parliament, though the fac
was well known to the British public.

KANSAS INVESTIGATING cOMM1rrEE.

We publish the following abstract of the
majority report of the Congressional Investi-
cation Committee. The reports very volum
inous. We have not as yet seen the minority
report, but when we become possessed of a
copy, viii, also give our readers extracts from it.
Your Committee report the following facts
and conclusions as established by the testi-
mony:
First-That each election in the Territory
held under the organic or alleged Territorial
law has been carried by organized invasions
from the State Of Missouri, by which the peo-
pie of the Territory have been prevented from
exercising the rights secured to them by the
organic law.
Second-That the alleged Territorial Legis-
lature was an illegally constituted body, and
had no power to pass valid laws, and their
enactments are, therefore, null and void.
Third-That these alleged laws have not,
as a general thing, been used to protect persons
and property and to punish wrong, but for I'M
lawful purposes.
Fourth-That the election under which the
sitting delegate, John w. Whitfield, holds his
seat, was not held in pursuance of all valid
law, and that it should be regarded only as the
expression of the choice of those resident
citizens who voted for him.
Fifth-That the election nnder which the
contestng delegate; Andrew II. Feeder, claims
his seat, was not held in pursuance of law, and
that it should be regarded only as the expires
sion of the choice of the resident citizens who
voted for him,
Sixth That ANDREW H. Reader received q
greater number of votes of resident citizen:
than John w. Whitfield, for delegate.
SeVenth-That in the present condition
of the Territory, a fair election cannot be held
without a new census, a stringent and we'll
guarded election law, the selection of impair.
tial judges, and the presence of United States
troops at every place of election.
Eighth-That the various elections held by
the people of the Territory, preliminary to til,
formation of the State government, have beer
as regular as the disturbed condition of tn,
Territory would allow; and that the constitu
ton passed by the Convention, held in persu
ance of said elections, embodied the will of
majority of the people.
As it is not the province of your committe
to suggest remedies for the existing troubles il
the Territory of Kansas, they content them
8 selves with the foregoing statement of facts
All Of which is respectfully submitted.

JOHN SHERMAN.

BALLOT BOX

That our readers may have some idea how
election matters are sometimes carried on, we
publish the following extract from a California
paper:
There was on exhibition last night, at the
rooms ofthe Vigilance Committee, a ballot-box
used at the elections in a certain ward in this
city, which gives US one of many clues to the
noduS opeTandt of the suffers. The box
referred to, is about eighteen inches square,
painted blue, rather roughly made, but a ballot
box, and known to have been used for that
purpose. .Ithas the hole, and the old wax used
to seal it up with at the closing Of the polls,
still remaining on the box.
On opening the lid all appears right--a plain
simple box, nicely planed and smooth; at the
bottom lie a few ballots, Gust as it was found,
opened. Pull out the bottom, and presto
change! Turn the box upside down, when a
fresh supply of new and unopened ballots pre-
sent themselves, Of the right stripe, and in
quantities. If these are found to be insufficient
presto change again, and you pull up one side
of the box, and 10 and behold! there are
hundreds, if not thousands, Of the little
jokers," all closely folded, and of the genuine
stripe, all nicely printed, reminding one of the
millions of maggots that cover the Wondering,
decaying remains of some vile animal.
Now the claw and Order' clique can see
and behold how easy it IS to elect a Casey fol
supervisor, when he was not even a candidate,
nor received a single vote for the Office; or how
Sheriff Scanned and Billy Mulligan hold the
keys Of the county Jail, when johnson, ths
peoples candidate, received a majority Of the
votes. What think YOU now rs to the necessi,
ty Of a Vigilance Committee?

private letters
NEBRASKA ADvERTIsER.-W We have received
two numbers of the above paper, just started

make himself felt not only at Brownville but
throughout the territory and country wherever
his paper may circulate. We wish him the
most abundant success in his warfare against
all corruption and wrong-wherever he dis
covers them may he lash them with an I'M
sraring hand, and may the lonrishing town
which had the enterprise to give his paper a
start, prosper with that prosperity which re-
wards the worthy. We earnestly advise our

Poor TRUMBULL rarely attempts a speech
that he does not make a foolish exhibition of
his weakness. A man who would introduce a
bill into Congress for the annexation of Kan
sas to Nebraska, under existing difficulties, is
just the person to perpetrate such a witty re-
mark as the following, which we copy fromt the
Toledo (o.) Rep@ioan, a Fremont paper:
The Hon. Mr.. Trumbull, who resides some
where in nlonois, is a wag. At the Republi-
can meeting in New Yord city, on Wednesday
evening last he made a speech, in which he
called the Democratic party the "Nak-ass par
ty." This IS q colossal witticisfn, thounh il
takes several hours to discoer the point. 1t is
thus rendered visible: Take the word Kansas,
spell the first syllable backward, and plt the
6rst $ after the last s. This is a tremendous
joke. Take all the wits, living and dead, Ra-
balais, Swift, tho Editor Of the Delta, indie.

The Ice TRADE.-The New York EUening
Post estimates hat from six to seven millions
of dollars are annually. employed in prosecut-
ing the ice trade in the United States, and that
the sales do not fall short of thirty millions of
dollars annually, amounting, even in its present
imperfect development, to. about one-third of
the value of the cotton crop, and one-fourth
the wheat crop Of the. whole country. 1t is,
moreover, an article exclusively of Northern
production. The laws of nature have given
the monopoly of il to States lying north Of
$50 30, and its consumption, at the present
rate of increase, in a few years will equal, il
not surpass the entire cotton crop of the South
ern States.

Since the Presidential campaign has fairly
commenced, and the political press opened up
its batteries, we are forcibly reminded of an
article we read in a London paper, some years
ago, something after this style: "Let a man
take the political papers of the United States
for his guide, in forming opinions of candidates
for the Presidency, and he could but COM to
the conclusion that the American people were
running their greatest %scOundrels, for their
highest Office" There is too much truth in
this cut. .

We take the following from the proceedings
of the late Republican meeting, at Springfield,
Mass, as we find it in the Argus of that place;
"Fitz Henry Warren, of Iowa, said that the
difficulties between the North and South would
be settled by the cartridge box, if not by the
ballot box; that in certain contingencies. the
Constitution of the United States was not
worth a rush."
To sectional agitators the Constitution of the

FARMING LAND.-We have been over most
of the country South of the Flatte," and are
DOW confirmed in the belief and feel perfectly
safe in asserting, that Nemaha county has more
good tillable land, more and better timber, and
more stock water than any other county.
Her prairies are more level, and her soil more
productive. Persons looking for homes in this
Territory, find this out by examination, and the
county is rapidly filling up.

"WoMAN's RIGHTS ."-Not, however, reader,
in the broad sense in which that term is gener-
ally applied. Women have "rights," and very
Otter" "a right" to do as they please. So thought
the young ladies of this place, on Friday eve
ming last. They asserted their rights" by CIV
ing a ball at McPherson's Hall, and taking up
on themselves the position of "~galIants." The
gents were invited, called for, and gallanted to
the ball room by the ladies, just as natural as
though they were used to it." And we didn't
escape, either. In the evening, as we were up to
our eyes in "engagements"-putting up our
papers for next mornings mails,-we were
suddenly aroused by the "r~ustling of silks and
satins," and looking around, found. ourselves
surrounded y" c%ornered ." captured " by
four smiling, lovely, fun-nnaking young ladies
Like Davy Crocket's coon, we told 'em they
needn't shoot, we'd come down." Go? What
else could. we do? Certainly we went; and en-
joyed the fun until a reasonable hour for retr-
ing, when we were gallanted home, slept sweet
ly, and dreamed that won 1en-young ones,
