CO The committee on elections in Washing
ton will act definitely this week, on the Kansas
Delegate case. The most prevalent impression
seems to be that they will report the seat vacant,
on the ground that the House, by large MAORI
ty at its first session refused to admit either Mr..
Whitfield, who was elected under the Kansas
laws, or MIR. Reeder, who was elected by persons
who did not recognize them, and there was 10 re-
solution of the House, nor any law of Kansas,
directing special election to I'll the vacancy.

"Pepalnr SovereLsaty.H

From our earliest knowledge OF the introdnc-
ton and passage of the Nebraska Bill by the
Congress of the United States. TIE TINES took
the position that the "popular sovereignty doc
trins" as promulgated by Pierce, Douglas 4 Co.,
was humbug-a transparent, palpable humbug,
and that it would lead to serious results. The
bill was passed aud the question was tested. The
citizens of Missouri, acting under this doctrine,
left their own State, and without being in the
Territory of Kansas rHREK HOURS, signife.l their
intentions of voting, and did vote, and by this
means succeeded in electing spurious Legisla-
ture, the laws Of which stand to day as black
er monuments than were ever reared in the ages
of the past. The Free State men of Kansas and
throughout the Union, revolted at such proceed.
ings and stgmatized the act which gave such
power TO the Border Ru6ans as not only uncon-
stitutional but unheard of in the history of Leg
islation. The People (actua settlers.) refused to
recognize the laws passed by this Legislature,
although perfectly willing to sustain the laws of
the u States, and then came the contest which en-
listed the sympathies of great portion of the
American people and out of which grew the Or
ganization of the Republican party. The work
ings of this patent "popular sovereignty doc
trine," was deemed to be evil-evil in its incipi-
enoy, evil in its progress and evil in its results.
However. the matter was brought to more prac-
tical test. The settlers of Kansas who had resi-
ded in the Territory sufficient length Of time to
entitie them to full and free citizenship, and
many of whom were bona-fde owners of the soil,
said: Let us get together quietly, take census
of the Territory, adopt Constitution not at va.
rance with thas Of the United States, and ask
Congress in n gentlemanly and courteous manner
to accept our Constitution and admit us into the
Union as % sovereign State" Accordingly the
Convention was held, the Constitution adopted,
and Immediately after presented to the Senate of
the United States for the approval of that body.
But what did it do Rejected it on the ground
that the action of the people was revolutionary
and that they had no right to meet and adopt a
Constitution without first the consent of Congress.
And this suggests to few thoughts on the pres
ent aspect of affairs in this Territory, to which
we will give expression in our next issue. t1

A VICTIM or UNREQUlTrED LovE-A
strange .tancy.-George B. Smith, man
about % years of age, and native of Massa-
chusetts, died yesterday at the New York
Hospital from epilepsy, brought about by in
temperance. Coroner Gamble held an inquest
upon the body, when facts were revealed
which gave the case a tone of the most
marked romance, and made the listeners to
the tale lnvoluntarily exclaim, "Truth is
stranger than felton, The history of de.
ceased's life was found to be full of Interest,"
ing and exciting events. Springing from
highly respectable family in New England,
Smith was well educated and fitted for the
bar. When he had attained his majority, he
became enamored with lovely young lady,
(whose name, perhaps, it would not be proper
to MENTION and after an ardent suit his love
was returned, and the young man was full of
bright hopes for the future. But his dream of
bliss and happiness did not last long. The
lady was coquetIsh, and loved dearly to tlirt
with other gentlemen. Her conduct made
Smith desperate. Jealousy took possession Of
his soul, and the green eyed monster"
prompted him to pursue revengeful course
towards the most favored rival He challeng.
ed him to mortal combat, but the request was
coldly declined. Soon afterwards the rivals
met; analtercation sprang up, when Smith
drew pistol and fired it at his antagonist, but
happily without any serious effect.
Well knowing that he had set the laws of
his State at defiance. Smith fled from Massa-
chusetts, and escaped to New York. While
here, the fugitive pursued a most Incorporate
course of life. He drank necessarily, and
finally became confirmed inebriate Intern
perance brought on epileptic fits, and while
suffering under the dreadful malady, he died,
neglected and unknown.
The sequel to the story is far more melan-
choly than the story itself. Upon an examine
alton of the body Of deceased. sickening
sight met the observer. The arms were ia
tooed with red and black ink. On his right
arm was his name in full, the initials N. H.,
and also two hearts pierced with an arrow.
On the left arm was the strange and fearful
inscription, " l LOVE RUM" in large Roman
capitals. That the deceased did "love rum"
his melancholy death fully attested. The OBJ
server had not much difficulty in coming to
the conclusion as to the cause of death. The
emaciated and care worn features, together
with these fearful words 81 love rum" in
scribed upon the left arm, told the fearful
tale too truly. In the Prime of youth and
manhood he had been cut off and sent to an
untimely grave, victim to intemperance.
