Kansas Laws.
The Democrats in the Senate of the Uni
ted States twice passed an act repeating GER
tain obnoxious laws Of the Kansas Lcgisla'
ture or, rather, declaring them void, from

creating the territory. The Black-Republi-
cans in the House, however, refused to con-
cur with the Senate in destroying those laws,

nuke political capital. Upon the negroteS
therefore, rests the responsibility of the con
tinuance of the obnoxious Kansas statutes.
