At late hour the House informed that the
Governor had signed the five bills passed by the
| General Assembly.
A concurrent resolution to adjourn at half past
IL o'clock then agreed to- it being evident that
the Senate were determined not to pass any bills
but what We're absolbtely necessary to keep the
State organization alive.
Votes of thanks passed to the Speaker,
| John Hutchinson, and to the Chief Clerk and his
Assistants and at past IL O'Clock the first Gene
tings and rendered back the trust reposed in them
/ The proceedings in the Senate were mostly char
acterized by determined effort to prevent the pas
sage of any bill except those Necessary to barely
keep the breath of life in the State organization,
and provide for the general elections. The House
refusing to in the resolution to adjourn the
Senate took the responsibility of forcing through
and the House finally agreeing both bodies ad-
| journed. The Delegation from Leayenworth and
the Districts north of the Kanzas river, were all
opposed to action, and it is principally through
their exertions that the bill fer county organiza-
tions and other important matters were deferred.
We trust vigorous efforts will now be made to Sc
cure large vote at the general election in August,
and that the right kind of men will be sent up to
Topeka that the well known wishes of the people
may be obeyed, and they be provided with local
tribunals and county and town organizations, that
the Free State Government may become a real, liv-
ing fact, and a power in the land.
