w. II. Clement. ESQ.

We see that this gentleman, long and
favorably known as the Superintendent
of the L. NJ. Railroad, has accepted the
Office of Superintendent of the Ohio &
Mississippi railroad, and will enter upon
its duties early in June. The Cincin-
natl Gazette, in noticing the fact, pays
Mr.. Clement the following high compli-
ment, which all who know him, viii hear
thy endorse:
Mr. Clement has been connected with
the Little Miami Railroad from its earli-
est days, and has proved himself a most
efficient officer and popular gentleman,
commanding, through his long term of
Office, the entire confidence Of the Man
ayers of the Company, and the respect
and good will of the travelling public
His salary, which was liberal on the Lit
tie Miami Road, has been considerably
increased by his new employers sub
stantial evidence of commanding abili-
ties. This appointment is sufficient
guarantee that the business Of the o
x NJ Railroad will be managed to the
satisfaction Of the public.

Will Kansas be Free?

R. McBRATNEY, formerly the editor
of that staunch Republican paper, the
Xenia Torch-Light, is now resident
of Kansas. In a recent letter publish
ed in the Torch-Light, he thus conf

know that the contest 10 fasten slavery
upon the soil is abandoned, by both the
leaders and the rank and file Of the
pro-slayery party, and that all are desi-
rous to see Free State men come in and
build up the new State, as only Free
State men can do such work. There is
comparatively but little emigration from
the slave States, and decided majority
of those coming from that section come
here to vote for free State. Having
been among the first to take the sound
iugs Of this question and to ascertain
the true state Of the case, l am anxious

old friends of Greene county, and to in
vite those of them desiring homes, to

A. s. Evans Improvement.

We have inadvertently neglected here
tofore to notice the handsome improve.
mentrecently made in this gentleman s
Store Room on High street, opposite the
Court House. A large brick addition
has been built in the rear, by which the
total depth of the room is increased to
Sc feet, being considerably the largest
in town. A sky light window of
ground glass in the roofof the addition,
gives mellow light to the room, and
adds greatly to the facilities for dis
playing goods to advantage.
Mr.. Evans bas brought on a much
larger stock this Spring than ever be-
fore, which will be found to include al
most every variety of Dry Goods, Bon
nets, Hats and Caps, Boots and Shoes,
Hardware, Cutlery, Queensware and
Groceries.
Among the many handsome goods We
saw on his tables, were some entirely
new styles of Dress Goods, of beautiful
fabric and elegant designs, which are
worthy the particular attention of the
Ladies. One of these styles which we
greatly admired is called Lustre de Suoi.
OF this goods Mr.. Evans informed
us he was the only one of our merchants
who was fortunate enough to obtain a
few patterns, having bought them of
the only house in Philadelphia which
had imported them in time for the Spring
trade.
Those who wish TO see a handsome
store-room and fine stock of goods,
should give Mr.. Evans a call.

On this subject a cOtemporary makes

On this subject a cotemporary makes
the following sensible remarks;
Some men advertise for short time
after they commence business, aud
think that is sufficient; others intermit
advertising after they have established
fourishing business by its aid. This
is great mistake. From the moment
house ceases to advertise, however
large its reputation aud standing, it be-
gins to decline. The changes are SO
rapid in this country, and the public
mind is so constantly occupied by new
applicants for its favors and its atten-
ton. that to be out of the papers, where
everybody seeks for information on ev.
cry subject, is to be forgotten. The
press is daily more and more becoming
a necessity, and its usefulness as an ad
vertising medium is as constantly in
creasing. No man is wise or just tC
himself who undertakes to do business
without ayailing himself of its advan

On Thursday last, pile of about one
hundred dead hogs was being burned.
We learn that there have lately been
some cases of this singular disease in the

LATE FROM KANSAS.

QUINDARo, K. T., April 90
On Friday evening last Acting Cover
nor Stanton addressed the people of
Lawrence. A large audience was pres
ent to hear what he had to say and find
out what he proposed to do. He was in
troduced to the audience by Gov. Robin
son. Governor R. somewhat detracted
from the dignity and importance of the
occasion by the following remark: "Fel-
low-citizens, introduce to you Hon. f.
P. Stanton, the new Acting Governor of
Kansas. We often have new Governors
in Kansas" He consumed some time eu-
logising Gov. Walker, ranking him with
leading American statesmen, in review
ing some acts of his own, and in discuss
ing the moral aspects of slavery, endeav-
oring to prove that neither the Indian
nor the negro were of the same race as
the whites.
He seems to have adopted the theory
of Prof. Agassiz on this subject. He
did not however tell who their first pa
rents were, nor did he allude to the
great work now going on of bringing
this poor benighted, fatherless race into
the stock Of the family of Adam. Nei-
ther did he discuss the parentage of what
is known as the mulattO race.
After patiently listening to this for
some time the meeting requested him to
speak on Kansas affairs. He then direc-
ted his remarks as requested. He
frankly avowed that he was a Pro-Sla-
very man, and that personally he was
strongly attached to the institutions Of
his own native South. If he were vo-
ter when the question of the recognition
of slavery came legally before the people
of Kansas, he should vote to recognize
and continue it. Said he came here for
the purpose and with the intention of
enforcing the laws of Kansas. "Never.
never" shouted his hearers. "The fed
eral laws must be enforced" he contin.
ued. eyes, that's right, they have al
ways been obeyed by u.s." replied the
crowd At length he said that the Ter.
ritorial laws had been approved by the
Senate and the Executive, and even by
the House of Representatives, which
had Republican majority. They cor.
rected this statement by telling him thai
the House never had a Republican ma.
jority. "At all events" said he a
length, "the Territorial laws must be O.
beycd" "Never, never" again shouted
his hearers. "They shall be enforced!'
"Never, never, never! was again shouted
"Then it is war to the knife and knife t
the hilt." "Well, war it is then!" To
wards the conclusion he talked verv
mildly, and the meeting quietly adjourn
ed.
To test the sincerity of the Presiden
in his inaugural and the Governor in hi
address, the following letter, containing
a proposition to Mr. Stanton, in regar,
= to the election of delegates to the Con
stitutiOnal Convention, was drawn NJ b,
Gov. Robinson, signed by number o.
the citizens of Lawrence, and forwards
q to the acting Governor. As yet he ha
q not accepted it, j.. NJ. w.
= We will give the letter of Gov. r. an
! Mr.. Stanton's reply in our next issue.
