Iu making the pro raa allowances the act of Congress
being specific this point have taken the basis
of the calculations the original pay under each contract
instead of the higher sum $50 000 to which above
observed the compensation has been raised But even
upon this lower basis, the allowed will be per
ceved is very considerable independently OF the further
increased compensation of sixteen Thousand dollars under
the old and seventeen thousand five hundred dollars per
alnum under the contract.
The settlement Of this claim has not been made with
out considerable embarrassment The act of Congress
was pcreinptoy to adjust and settle not according to the
proofs that might be taken before the final action but
as shown by the proofs and adavits file in the House
Representatives These to be the sole guides
in the settlement and neither the records of the depart
could be taken by the government TO assist in attaining
what might be considered exact Justice in the case The
act directed that the claimant should be paid pro rata for
carving his mail under his contract from Sacamen
to- around by San francisco and the coast 10 San Pedro
instead Of cast by Carson Valley to Salt Lake. and that
he should be paid also for carrying the Independence mail
that way when the records and correspondence of the de-
parmen show that the change in the route was permit
ted at the claimants own instance and request and not
forced upon him by order wish Of the depart
ment The pro rata allowance for this change alone It
will be observed is s2l 1874 g. The act further direct
ed that he should be paid pro rata for carrying the east
ern mail for Salt Lake sent round by the isthmus TO
California whereas by the contract itself and the usage
of the department in all such he was bound as
contractor TO carry the mails of the United States,
from whatever quarter they might be sent 10 his line
The principal difficulty in the case however, was In
deciding the true intent and meaning OF the act in
requiring him TO be paid pro rata Pro rata in pro-
portion what The first contract 10 carry the mail
at 0o0 and the second at sl2 500 per annnn Con-
gres however in the very act which granted him this
pro rata relief raised these prices up TO $50 600 per an
mum Now in making the estimate required by Congress,
should the basis OF calculation be pro rata on the S4
600 and the sl2 500 contracts the $50 600 The
department could find nothing in the act throwing light
on this subject and therefore made the calculation the
contract or lowest basic instead Of the $50 900 basis
In doing the department has gone on the principle
that In every case Of doubt in matter of this kind the
entitled 10 the benefit of that doubt until
Congress by enactment, should remove H. VI

THE PRESS ON THE KANSAS CONSTITUTION,

SO long as the fundamental principles which have been
batted for so long are gained we should accept the sue
cess with gratitude rather than peeyshy grumble be-
cause all the details not precisely as we would have
wished them All that has been contended for was the
liberty of the people to decide for themselves whether
they should the Union under the banner of freedom
or slavery That the constitution provides for this lib
ery of decision is plainly evident to every one whose
eyes blinded by prejudice The opposition, backed
by the first imperfect reports have set forth that only the
clause providing for slavery being submitted rejection
of that even would leave sufficient in other provisions to
warrant the introduction Of slavery. That such is not
the case is very evident The provision for submitting
the question to the people explicit in its intentions and
cannot by any possibility be SO construed. IA
q n NJ .-4af Il O II
Taken all in ALL we find to favor than To cen
sure both in the convention itself and the instrument
which it created The rights of the people are recog
missed sufficiently to insure, in estimation the adm
sion of Kansas constutionay free State. That DONE
the question is forever settled further adopted
by the people beyond concern, and the Union
for the present at least will be free from the fierce agta
tions which have so injured its peace

MERCHANTS GARGLING OIL.-There Is a sat
isfaction in bearing testimony Of the real merits
Of an article in the Healing Art, whose intrinsic
value sosrs above the myriads Of useless nos
trums with which our country abounds.
From the multitude Of evidences in favor Of
this article, it would seem that the time has gone
by to entertain doubts of its utility, as it ranks
among leading items Of commercial trade with
dealers in medicines.
The Garglins Oil, though originally designed
for use upon animals, and its importance as such
IS still acknowledged as without rival, hiss been
by tn e present proprietors, Messrs. NJ. H. Tuck
er, & Co., Lockport,,N. Y, purified and refined
BIZ chemical process, BY which a pleasant and
desirable preparation for Family use, has been
obtained, the efficacy Of which may be satisfac-
torily realized BY timely application to many Of
"the ills to which flesh is Iieir."
From testimonials of numerous reliable per-
sons, we have no hesitancy in publ shing its po-
tency to the world. In chronic rheuma.t ism and
neuralgias, chilbains, sprained joints and wounds
Of all classes-in fact, any conceivable cas-.
where liniment is indicated to relieve suffering
humanity, and promote restoration. this article
as adapted to Family use will not disappoint rea-
sonable expectation.
Those who have the care of animals should
not fail to keep constantly supplied with the
original article, to serve in cases Of emergency.

ARE YOU SICK!

Then you can't be cured too soon. Don't de-
lay until your complaint is incurable, and then
mourn when it is too late. Four-fifths of all the
diseases which people the church-yards, might
be cured by Ayers Cathartic Pills, if taken in
season Don't go dragging through the Spring,
faint, sleepy and listless, because your blood is
loaded with bile. Don't wear the Headache,
Heartburn, and their kindred disorders, because
your stomach is foul. Don't parade yourself
around the world, covered with Pimples, Bloteh-
es, Ulcers, Sores. and all or any of the unclean
diseases Of the skin, because your system wants
cleansing. Don't show yourself about, lean,
haggard, all caved in, because your Stomach and
bowels need strengthening into healthy action
Ayers Pills set these things right, as surely as
water quenches fire. They purify the body and
blood, and restore their functions into healthy
activity, which you can feel as quick as they are
taken. They are the one great medical wonder
of the age, recognized by all who know their
virtues, and many thousands know them. Take
the Cherry Pictorial for cough, and the Pili'
for all arrangements requiring purgative me-
dicine.

JUDICIAL DIGNfrY.-The Lecompton
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
gives the following graphic description Of
q court in Kansas:
"While the examination Of witnesses
is going on the Judge will take his hat
and leave the room to visit some one Of
the numerous saloons in the town, for q
drink. The proceedings are stopped,
and after waiting while for the return oil
the Court, aud that dignitary not coming
back. the Attorney General then, in imi
tation Of eye Court," goes out to drink
The Jury seeing both the Judge and At.
torney go out to liquor. conclude among
themselves to follow suit, and soon the
U. S. Marshal is left alone in the room
with the prisoners and witnesses.
''If the Judge gets too drunk to return,
the Court is adjourned until the next NOR.
ming. Lecompte, in spite of his stupid,
ity and prejudice, has some decency in
this respect. while Cato has none what.
