KANsAs.-Goy. Walker has issued leng-
thy proclamation relative to the October
election in Kansas, of which we have the
following Geographic synopsis:
admitting that injustice was done in the
apportiOnment, which excludes fifteen Coun-
ties from participating in the election, the
Governor attempts to cxculpate himself from
by declaring that only four days remained
after his arrival in the territory to make APP
portiOnments; that he did not know of the
existence of the law requiring him to make
the appOrtionment, therefore the duty de
VOWED upon others. He expresses his opin-
ion that no one can vote except those who
are qualified under the territorial law OF the
goth of February last; also under this law,
that territorial tax is not required as a
qualification for voters. The governor states
that troops were TO be stationed at the va
riOus voting voting places 'sJIere violence
was apprehendod, and concludes with the
hope that all officers will use their best cxer-
tons TO make the election the fair and hon
est expression Of tie views OF the people

The Springfield. Massachusetts. ReDuLI;

The Springfield, Massachusetts, RepuJi-
can tells the last dog story, which it says is
true. 1t is that gentleman started from
Holyoke for Springfield in buggy, and took
a favorite dog with him. On the road, for
amusement, he teased the dog to such an
extent that the latter got angry. At this
juncture the gentleman's hat fell off, and
when he got down to get it, the dog jumped
into the buggy and started the horse. The
dog watched both horse and master, and for
some miles forced the latter to perform the
journey on foot. Upon arriving at the river,
the dog resolutely drove the horse into it,
leaving the master on the other side, the dog
evidently enjoying the joke he had played
upon his owner.

BRYANT AND SrRArToN's MERCANTILE COL
without a parellcl in the history of educa-
tional enterprises. Not five years have
elapsed since Messrs. Bryant & Stratton
planted in Cleveland the first of their chain
of colleges, that now reach from Albany, \.
Y, to Buffalo, Cleveland, and Chicago
Their catalogue for 1857 lies upon our table,
in which they furnish to the public much in
teresting matter and all necessary informa-
ton in relation to the course of study in their
colleges. They have met with splendid sue
cess and they have merited it. Five years
ago mercantile education was a pretense, or
at least of little practical importance. But
these gentlemen, approaching the necessities
OF the occasion, and bending their whole
energies to the work, have built up system
OF Observation-Disclosures, practical and eff
cient, for preparing young men for the active
duties not of the desk only, but the general
responsibilities Of mercantile life. This they
engage to do in the manner set forth in their
catalogue, and that they fulfil their promise
their thousands of graduates will testify.
Their catalogue contains the names of up
ward of 1000 students vino have entered
their schools since their last was issued. 1t
contains also a lecture on mercantile educa-
ton, by the Hon. Horace Mann, delivered
before their Chicago College last winter,
which will repay an attentive perusal. All
persons interested, and especially young
men, are invited to send for the catalogue,
which will be furnished gratis. Address

Republican Nominations.

The Hindoo Republicans and the Adolf
tionists Of this county had a partnership
convention in this city on Wednesday, to
nominate county ticket. All the bargains
having been struck outside, of course the
action Of the convention was very harmoni-
Gus, and the following ticket was nominated
by acclamation:
County CIerk-PHLo LILpLEY.
Comfy IreGsu-er-SANUEL K. LEWIS.
School CJEmissiOaer-W Ellis WAIr
County .SurUey0r-W. FgANK WnITMoRE
The convention concluded to let the coun-
ty judge business alone, and Mr. Champlin
will probably have the course to himself
Henry luri5ut was the only candidate
that had asked the nomination for county
clerk, but as the convention wanted strong
or man, charge was trumped up against
him of having voted for Buchanan last fall,
and the nomination was forced upon Mr..
Lindley against his Will Mr. Hurlbut ex-
purgated himself Of tic political delinquen-
cy with which he stood charged, (may he
never be guilty OF a worse one , and know
ing the convention didn't want him, declined
to 90 before them.
! This Experimentation party,
which owes its vitality to niggerism, is still
so little agreed within itself that no resolu-
tons were ventured upon by the convention.
The negro-equality abOlitionists admit the
majority was against them, and have poor
show upon the ticket, but say they will fare
better next time; and as their way is to grow
lax in principle as the chances Of getting
office improve, they will probably 60 the
ticket as il stands.
