Wepublish below copy of the ia
nous Treaty" as VIC find 1t in the 81.
Louis Democrat. of Thursday. We
don't see that either Of the high con-
tracing parties (as the diplomats say }
could have asked more or taken less.
THE TREATY.
Whsreas, There Is misunderstood
ing between the people Of Kansas. OF
a portion Of them. and the Governor
thereof. arising out Of the rescue, near
Hickory Point, Of a citizen under ar
rest. and some other matters:
And Whereas, A strong apprehen-
sion exists that said misunderstanding
may lead to civil strife and bloodshed:
And Whereas. IL is desired by both
Governor Shannon and the citizens Of
Lawrence and vicinity. to avert ca
lamity so disastrous 10 the interests OF
the Territory and the Union: and 10
place all parties in a correct position
before the world. now. therefore. il is
agreed by the said Governor Shannon
and the undersigned citizens Of said
Territory, in Lawrence now assembled.
that the matter in dispute be settled as
follows, to wit:
We. the undersigned citizens Of said
Territory. protest that the said rescue
was made without our knowledge or
consent; but that il any of the citizens
Of the town Of Lawrence were engag.
ed in said rescue, We pledge ourselves
TO aid in the execution Of any legal
process against them. That we have
no knowledge Of the previous, present
or prospective existence OF any organi-
cation in said Territory for the resist
ance Of the laws: and that we have no;
designed aud do not Dc , "a to resist
the legal service of ay criminal
process therein; but pl, age ourselves
to aid in the execution of the laws.
when called upon by the proper au-
thorities in the town or vicinity OF
Lawrence.
And that we will use our influence
in procuring order therein; and we de-.
clare that we are now, as we ever have
been, ready al any time to aid the
Governor in securing posse for the
execution Of such process. Providing
that any person thus arrested in Law.

shall remain in the territory, shall be

Bad Titles.

All lands in the eastern, northeast

c>unty that have been sold Of late, at
sheriff. sale. have imperfect titles, as
viii be seen frou the following ex-
tract from the Revised States, Of 1859.
pages lac and las. sec. 467 provides
- follows:
"The time and place of making sale
Of Real Estate on Execution shall be
publicly advertised by the Sheriff for
At least twenty days SUCCESSFULLY next
before the day Of sale BY FASTING up
written or printed notices thereof in
three Of the most public places in the
township In which the Real Estate is
situated. and like advertisement at
the door of'the Cont House OF the
county; and also BY advertising the
same Tor three weeks successfully in a
newspaper..printed nearest to the Real
Estxte. IL any such newspaper be
printed within the jurisdiction Of the

All such property should have been
advertised in the American. according
to this law.

ting liquor. But that so much Of the
act as lelstes to the manufacture and
agency are unconstitutional and void;
but | do not putt on the ground as
sumed by Judge Perkins.
What the practical effect Of this
ruling will be is not for me to say
The intent with which the liquor was
sold in each particular case, whether
as incident to the right to manufacture
or otherwise. will always be a. ques.
ton for the jury. 1t presents similar
difficulties to those in Brown VS.. Mary
land, IL Wheat. 419. The courts
will have. TO settle it on analogous
principles.
Z The case for manufacturing should
be reversed and Bebee discharged on
IFS merits.
The conviction for selling is right,
but the record and return being de-
fective should. for that reason only,
be reversed also.

How stands the Liquor Lawi

Judging from the closing paragraph
Of Judge Ssuart's opinion, we fear We
we're mistaken as to the status Of the
law. From that we infer that every
body is authorized to sell for the pur-
poses specified in The law. without
giving any bond, and it win devolve
on the prosecution to show that he
sold for other purposes We shall
wait with great anxiety to hear the
opinion of some Of the courts on this
point. II the law were so construed
as to require every person who sold to
give the bond required Of agents, and
keep book. as agents. and prosecute
those who obtain liquor under false
psetenses. the law would yet have
some vitality.
But any construction upon this
law, since the decision, will make IL a
lame affair. Our only hope is in an
other legislature. Meanwhile, let not
the friends Of whisky triumph. We
have gained a great victory, in the
passage and temporary enforcement Of
the law. twill be years before the
question is finally settled. and we are
willing to toll on and toll ever.
Since the above was in type, we
have received the Lawrenceburg Reg
lister. acquainting rs with the process
by which whisky can be made free

They refused to pay their fine and were

Judge Perkins in the Bebee case. 1t
Is identical. mostly with the opinion

Taylor had been a Wing, and Major
Donelson had been a Democratic

that, with the pen of prophet, "did

thought of old lack for President be-
fore he crossed the Rio Grandea We
begin toIsuspect that the Major is at
