LAWRENCE, X. T., April IL, 1877.
The acts Of Pro-Slavery National Ad-
ministration are again beginning to en-
barrass the interests of Kansas. Busi-
ness was remarkably brisk this spring. -
Real estate rose rapidly in value. Emil
grants have been pouring in. The in
fuence Of wealth ana active prosperity
was beginning to Be felt Emigrants
still arrive, bnt there is more distrust,
and business and speculation are neither
OF them SO brisk. II is feared that the
administration of Buchanan designs to
sustain and carry out the provisions of
the bogus census act. If this be the
c.use, it is well known that disturbances
of some kind will be sure to ensue.-
The government which that of the Mis-
souri, Legislature proposes to set in mo.
ton, can never be carried out without
causing civil war. The people will not
be frightened out of their rights by the
United States troops. They have alb
stained from asserting their rights, and
putting down usurpation, only by the fear
of involving the country iu a civil war.
They expected, with justice, that the L.
nited States Government, viii see fair
play done. 1t is now seen that this
hope is unavailing. The people must at.
tend to their own rights. They are de-
termined to do it. 1t is very desirable
that the emigration should not stop
Thirty thousand Free State voters into
Kansas this summer would insure peace
and Free State Government for Kan
sa3.
The Secretary Of the Territory has ar
rived. He reached Lecompton yes
terday. He has declared that he
would see the bogus enactments ell
forced. 1t is supposed that he will pro-
coed to the collecting of taxes assessed
by the bogus officers, and to making ar
rests under the ferocious bogus law. If
he does he will learn that the task is more
difficult than he supposed.
PRE-EMPTIoN OF LAND.
The land office is TO open next week,
and there Is great stir amongst the
squatters. AL those who contest claims
are To appear and have the matter in dis
pute adjusted. Many have attempted to
hold claims fraudulently; where these
are contested the fraud will not be ex-
posed. The Border Rullian officials ap-
pointed by Buchanan are to sit in iudg-
ment. They have already outraged ev-
cry right the settlers possess, and it is
mortifying, besides unsafe to submit to,
their arbitration. Where the claims of
Pro-Slavcry men conflict with those of
Free Settlers apprehension may we'll be
entertained. We viii soon see whether
they can act impartial, and without bri-
berry, between Free State men. The set
Element of disputed claims, and payment
Of prescriptions, will give spur to bust
ness and'greater security to investment.
S4uatters may pre-cmpt, and hold for
one year without paying for their lands,
or they may pay at once, after proving
presumption.
CENSUS LISTS.
The census lists have not been posted
up for public notice The time for con-
testing Is near y over. The Free State
men determined that they would have
nothing to do with fraud. il now seems
that this was Unnecessary; as the bogus
officials are determined that they shall
not have chance to do so.
