| The RUMoR RELATING TO SAMUEL LAwR nc
We copy from the Boston Journal an article
giving painful rumors which are current in Bos-
| ton, affecting the commercial honor of one OF
| the most prominent business men of that city.
Mr.. Samuel Lawrence is the youngest Of the
famous Lawrence family, and the only surviving
member, at least of the male branch-his
brothers, Luther, William, Abbott and Amos,
being all dead. He commenced his business
career as agent Of the Midd.esex WOODEN mills
at Lowell, and for many years gave his atten-
ton to the details of the business. Some years
ago he removed to Boston. A Boston cores
pendent Of the New York Tribune says that the
transaction In which he has now been engaged,
whatever may turn out to be its precise char
scter, is likely to be "blot in the escutcheon Of
family hitherto celebrated for commercial
honor and probity.
TIE LEcoMProS CoxsrIrurroN-It requires
but little exposition to make the sense Of the
Lecompton Constitution plain to the lowest un-
Outstanding. Let us suppose at once that the
pro-slavesy article is stricken cut by the cleo
ton on the 2lst of December, and then inter-
pref the remainder. Under the bred Scott de-
cision, slavery exists wherever it is not abolish
ed by positive law. Hence it is an institution in
the Territory Of Kansas, and as the transition
| from Territory to State cannot affect it, it
will necessarily be an institution of the State Of
Kansas. To give time to extend and solidify
any alteration OF the Constitution is prohibited
for eight years; an alteration or amendment,
even that can only be effected by tedious cir
cumlocutory process, vote Of two.thirds Of
each House Of the Legislature, ratified by vote
Of the majority Of the citizens of the State being
necessary to initiate the movement. No amend
ment of the Constitution for eight years; and
no amendment then If there be minority of
pro slavery men to the number Of one-third in
either branch Of the Legislature, and the num-
Der of slaves increasing in the meantime by
importations from Missouri. for every Missouri
STAKEHOLDER who has lot or claim in Kansas
will contend that he has a right to hold his
slaves there, and the authorities will sustain him
| in its assertion. This is the mildest view which
| can be entertained Of the present aspect Of
| Kansas affairs.-Mo. Democrat.

LITTLE BILLS TO CONE IN.-There is no fear
| that the United States treasury will be allowed
| to suffer from plethora at present. There are
several little bills to come in Immediately, which
will give considerable relief. The last Indian
war in Washington territory has cost over mil.
lion aud half, and that in Oregon probably
twice as much. Gen. Wool declared that both
these wars we're only schemes to plumber the
treasury, and we suppose nobody doubts the
fact Nevertheless, the army contractors in
both cases are good democrats, devoted to the
propagation of national" principles in the ter
ritories, and their bills will be paid without any
such ungener0us scrutiny would injure the
democratic cause or damage the reputation Of
its standard bearers Then there is the Seminole
war in Florida last summer, which achieved the
death of an Indian and the capture Of two
squaws, and likely papoose. if we remember
rightly, and the war against the Cheyennes,

several wars against the free State men of Kan
sas, too, are yet to come IN, including the sack
Of Lawrence under Shannon, and the twelve
weeks siege by Gov Walker. These will not
be small items in the military operations. OF the
past year. The Utah expedition has already
cost round sum in outfit, and will draw heavi-
ly upon the treasury before the rebels are sub
dued. On the whole, therefore, the suppression
of the Indians, MormOns and 'black republi-
cans" is likely to swell our war bill to large
figure, and prevent any such accumulation Of
gold in the government vaults as to give uneasi-
ness for some time to come.-Sprngfeld Re-
