GOV. CHASE ON KANSAS.

We welcome to our columns in another part Of
to-day's paper special Message of Gov. Chase to
the Legislature of Ohio on the affairs OF Kansas. 1t
is lucid and able resume Of the political history
of Kansas, which will commend itself to every
reader who sympathzes with the struggling people
of that territory. But more than this, it is hope
ful sign Of the times. 1t shows that the cause Of
Freedom is hourly gaining. Gov. Chase comes
boldly out az an opportune moment, and shows
himself ready to resist the encroachments Of Sdv-
cry in the name and behalf Of the great State Of
Ohio.
This fact is deeply significant. II the President
Of the United States has flung himself into the scale
against Freedom in Kansas Gov. Chase-with the
powerful State OF Ohio at his back-appears as a
champion on the other side This event. like the
famous Virginia Message of Gov. Seward. forms
an era in our political history. Without consult.
ing any musty precedents OF deferentia considera-
ton for the central authority at Washington, Gov.
Chase intrepidly opposes the National Executive
with a firm and commanding attitude in behalf Of

A question which has agitated the community is
put TO rest A topic Of debate in our Municipal
Parliament at the City Hall is shelyed forever.
A source ofinfnite amuse ment 10 the public is ex-
tineuished. The two DromOs of Americanism and
Of absurdty-we know not whether the style of
their firm be Briggs and Branch or Branch and
Brsgs-are not only butt Of ridicule as they have
always been, but are utterly defeated. The right
of the muchbadgerea Chefof Police to add the
honored prenomen of Washington to his patro.
nymic of Matsel is at last established. 1t was
proved in the investigation of Saturday, not only
that the maternal relative OF aponderOus function
ary had in days of yOre, and in the unsuspcious
confidence of private friendship impaired to great
many persons the fact that her distinguished de-
scendant first saw the light Of Heaven in the
| nited States but il was also proved that his pa
ternal relative was naturaized here in the Marine
Court in the year 1927, when the future Chief was
only sixteen years old This being the case his
citizenship is legally established, even if he was
not born here, for no act of naturalization is re-
quired for minor whose father has been duly nat
uralized.
But ii is not to call attention to this point that
we refer anew to the farce of Messrs. Branch and
Briggs. Whatever antics they might indulge in,
there could be no occasion fer honoring them with
the last notice, so long as more serious matters
were not involved. But it appeared on Saturday
that in this attempt to deprive the Chief of Police
Of his inalienable privilege of writing the appela-
ton of Mr.. G. Washington Matsell upon his visit
ing csrd, the records of the Marine Court have
been unlawlully visited and mutilated. The sheet
containing the naturalization of his father it seems
has been torn out and the index referring to ii al
tered. This was evidently with a view to destroy
the evidence of the fact that he had been natural
lied; but the work had been only half done. and
the truth was easily established by a collateral
memorandum in smother volume Of the records.
That seems TO settle the rights Of Mr.. Matsel, but
it leaves open questions of much grayer interest,
for which the public will be likely to demand an
answer with much more peremptory emphasis.
Who thus mutilctes the records of our Courts
How happens it that they are accessible to the
hand Of fraud and macel And are all the public
records liable to such Justification as those of this
incOnsiderable and unexpected Marine Court
alone Let us have light on this subject; and
especially let as know who is guilty of the partc-
ular act Of neanness and villainy that has now
been exposed.

Freedom. The moral influence Of so true and
manly an art ia ncaIcuable 1t will stir the blood
Of the Northern heart everywhere. And best Of all,
il will iufuse hope and encouragement into the
breasts Of the men Of Kansas. 1t is but simple
truth 10 say that Ohio is fully with Mr. Chase, and
that if every Free State had Governor OF his
temper and mettle, and would follow bis example,
the people of each and all would respond eathusi-
asiicaly to the position.
lis the want Of our times as it is Of al times,
To fud mea clear-headed enough to discern the
progress of events, and bold enough to confront
and embrace their issues. Men generally love to
navigate only those waters that have been sounded
in every part and clearly mapped Intrepid pOlit-
zeal navgators on the stormy seas of history have
been ss rare as great nsyigators in the physical
world. The great crowds follow the known chan
mel, and that alone. Where nothing has been e1-
plored the mass Of common minds Will not venture.
Mr.. Chase has the great merit Of leading the way
in this Kansas question, in important aspect Of
it. WELDING the executive authority of great
people his voice must be potent in the contest that
now RACES. 1t was easy for him TO have chosen
silence but he la, preferred to speak, and TO speak
Oh the right side. And while he has done no more
than his duty, he deserves that applause which the
friends of Freedom everywhere will freely accord.
Let but very few States throug Executive
arm, backed by their Legislatures, distinctly de-
clare themselves on this Kansas question after the
manner of the Governor Of Ohio, and we shall
speedily witness a memorable abatement of the
pretensons of Slavery. Tmidity on the part OF
North the great cause of the insOlent exactions OF
the Slave Power Were the Free States bold and
retolute, there would be no difficulty in dealing
with the question Of Slavery. While no injustice
would be done and no constitutional right invaded
it would be kept within its proper limits. And we
should hear far less than we do now of agitation,
secession, danger to the Union and such like ao'
surd bugbears of the doughfaces and slave'driyers

PEACE.

The individual decision of the Emperor Alex
der III. to accept Internationally the Austrian pro-
posals as prelminaries for peace negotiations, is
something alike sudden and unexpected. OF
course, in the West of Europe, it was received
with Joyous reclamation, but in st. Petersburg
with gloomy sullenness. The Austrian ultimatum
carried to the Car by Count Esterhazy is already
known. AS Austria made this demonstration with
the consent Of the Allies, the pride of Russia may
find consolation in the fact that the advances came
from the other side, and not from her. The tenor
of this ultimatum differs considerably from the
celebrated -Four Points. 1t stipuates for the regu-
lation of the boundaries OF Russia and Turkey
along the Danube, and contains besides, fifth
paragraph, by which the Allies reserve the
right to introduce in the course of the
negotiations new special conditions Aside from
this ultimatum, Esterhazy was furnished with
instructions containing the special wishes of Fran
els Joseph. In this paper the Austrian Govern
ment literally begs [svYpiie Russia to yield TO the
general wish, and to accept the proposed means of
pacifcation. This document also states that so
soon as Russia shall sign the preliminaries, an
armisiice shall be arranged to suspend hOstities.
Was Alexander moved by these entreateS of Aus
triai AT any rate the ultimatum is accepted,
and so far as it goes, is absolutely OBJ
ligatory upon Russia Still during the
negotiations the parties may stumble upon intracta
BILE details and indissouble knots. Russia admits
In principle the obligation to regulate her frontier
on the Danube, and the Allies intend to push her
wholly back from the banks Of the river and its
iusry. This may include the cessiOn of Ismael and
other fortified spots, which she will not be likely

WASHINGTON, Saturday, Feb. 9, 1856.
Much interest is felt in high quarters here for tho
arrival Of the two steamers now due, as the dis
patches by them will probably inform the Govern
ment of the action of the British Cabinet upon the
demand for Mr.. Champions recall. This presump'
ton is predicated upon the suppOsition that Mr..
Buchanan did not fail to inform Lord Clarendon
Immediately of the tenor of his instructions on that
subject 1t must be remembered, however, that
on former occasion he assumed the responsibility
of holding portion of Mr.. Marcy's correspond.
ence in his hands for more than three months, and
never did submit the particular dispatch until iE
was claimed by Lord Clarendon from o reference
in succeeding one. The urgency and importance
Of the present matters will be likely, however TO
preclude the recurrence of such diplomatic freak
at this time. Mr.. Buchanan is very anxious 70
be relieved Of the mission, and has been so for tho
last six months. He will go to Paris as soon
Mr.. Dallas shall be received, and perhaps return
to the United States in April or May. some Oh
his political friends advise absence until after inc

From The mass Of statements
made on the occasion referred to,
it appears that, though there are
some individual peculiarities, the
prevailing system consists in feed.
ing turnips, mangolds or other
roots, and cut straw, with the adj
dition Of the meal of barley, peas,
beans, or Of oil cake. As much
straw is given as the cattle will
consume, cut, wetted and mixed
with the meal or the oil cake, pow
dered. The prevailing opinion
seems to be that the use Of tur-
nips makes the cattle relish and
eat the straw better than they
seem to do without the turnips.
Hay seems not to be used at all,
save by a very few, and that only
in stormy weather.
The success Of a system such
as this, if found to answer here as
well 1T does in England, would
lead to a more general cultiva-
ton Of turnips, ruta bagas and
other roots. Trials might be
made Of molasses. One pint in
one and a half gallons of warm
water, will moisten from one to
bushels of cut straw. A little
corn or bean meal will improve it

Dr. Hall, in his Medical Jour-
nal, gives the following directions
for breaking up a cold:
ga bad cold, like measles and
mumps, or any other similar ali
ments, will run its course of about
ten days, in spite of what you
may do for it, unless remedial
means are employed within forty
eight hours ofits inception. Ma
ny a useful life may be spared to
be increasingly useful by cutting
a cold short off in the following
safe and simple manner: On the
first day Of taking a cold, there is
a very unpleasant sensation OF
chilIiness. The moment you OBJ
serve this, go to your room and
stay there; keepit atsuch a tenn
perature as viii entirely prevent
this chilly feeling, even if it re-
quires 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
In addition, put your feet in wa
ter half limb (leg) deep, as hot as
you can bear it, adding hot water
along from time to time for a
quarter Of an hour, SO the water
shall be hotter when you take
your feet out, than when you put
them in; then dry them thorough
ly, and put on warm black stock
ings, even If it be Summer, colds
are the most dangerous; and for
twenty-four hours eat not an atom
Of food, but drink as largely as
you desire Of any kind of warm
teas, at the end Of that time, the
cold will be effectually broken,
without any medicine whatever
