Tho ManieIpal Movement at Lawrence and
Address TO the. People.

In presenting the accompanying charter, il
may not be improper for your Committee 10
state few reasons which seem to render the
organizations of q City Government not only
proper bat imperative.
It will hardly be disputed that the people
are the only true and legitimate fountain Of
! all human government Political and social
rights are not dependent upon the gift Of or
| ganizations, but aro inherent in the people.
As-al governments, whether State or mu-
nicipal, depend primarily upon the will Of the
people, and exist only for their protection and
convenience, IL follows that, in the absence of
constituted authorities and organized govern
ments, the people are left to act in their pri-
mary and indedendent capacity, and form n
government for themselves.
Such is the condition Of the people of Law
renee with reference to their municipal af
fairs. For more than two years we have
lived without law. Owing to the orderly
and peace.loving character Of our citizens, we
have happily been preserved 30 far from many
Of the evils which our population, however,
increases, and the city fills up, the necessity
for some municipal organization is every day
becoming more and more apparent.
Police regulations are necessary for the
preservation of order and peace; sanitary
measures are essential for the preservation of
health; we are unprotected against the rava-
ges Of fire; in short, all the varied necessities
ofa rapidly growing city demand municipal
government.
The only point of embarrassment in th is
movement arises from the unhappy condition
Of political affairs in our Territory. Under
ordinary circumstances, the moro regular mode
Of proceeding would be to obtain charter
from the Territorial authorities. AS tho Ter
ritorial Government, however in no sense
represents the people of Kansas, was not elec-
ted by tnem and can have no right to legis-
late for them, we cannot accept Of n charter
at its hands. As the State Government has
net yet deemed it advisable to proceed to the
organization of local and municipal govern
ments, we cannot obtain charter from it,
There is, therefore, left us only the alternative
Of charter springng directly from the pco-
pie, or continuance in our present unorgan-
ized condition.
Under these circumstances, you have seen
fit to instruct us to present charter, have
discussed it's provisions in preliminary as
semblaer, and now propose to submit it to
full vote Of the people for approval or rcjec-
ton.
In the event Of its adoption, it is believed
that the beneficial effects Of a city govern
mcnt will be so apparent to all, that no good
citizen will feel inclined to dispute its author
ity or resist its claims, AS its action will be
purely local, and have reference merely to
our own internal affairs, no collision is appre-
hcnded with any other organization claiming
TO exercise general jurisdiction in the Terri
tory. j. BLOOD,

We heard few days ago an old story told
that was ne good rs new, and here is the sub
stance Of it:
A young man who ardently desired wealth
was visited by his Satanic Majesty, who
tempted him to promise his soul for eternity,
if he could be supplied on this earth with oil
tho money ho could use. The bargain was
concIuded-the Devil was TO supply the mon
ey, and was at last to have the soul, Unless
the young man could spend mere money
than the Devil could furnish. Years passed
away-the man married, was extravagant in
his living, built palaces, speculated wildly,
lost and gave away fortunes, and yet bic cof-
fers were always full. He turned politician.
and bhbed his way to power and fame, with
out reduci his pile of gold He became q
"fllibuster," and fitted out ships and armies,
but his banker honored all his drafts. He
went to St. Paul TO live, and paid the usual
rates Of interest for all the money he could
borrow, but though tho Devil made wry
face when he came to pay the bills, yet they
were all paid. One expedient after another
failed-the Devil counted tho time-only
two years-that he must wait for the soul,
and Knocked thk efforts Of the despairing
man. One more trail was resolved upon -
the man started nscspaper. Tho Devil
growled at the bills at the end Of the frst
quarter-was savage in six Notwithstanding
choly in ninc-and "broke," "dead broke"
at the end Of year. So, the paper went
down, but the soul was saved.

Liqnor Murders,

The Ottowa (Grand Havcn) Clarion con,
tains the following account Of death caused
ly whisky:
"On Thusday last Charles Moscllc came
to the residence Of Peter Labclle in a state
oG iDtoxication, and lay on the saw dust out
side the house in stupid condition. Not
liking this exhibition, tho inmates Of the
house conveyed Charley into the barn near
by Peter Labele and another went to see
him soon after, and from his stiffness believed
him to be sound asleep and so lefc him.
They returned again at supper with the in,
tenlion of inviting Charley in to supper On
attempting to rouse him however, they found
him stiff-dead
An inquest was held next day by w. II.
Parks, Esq, acting coroner, when the above
facts appear in cydenic. A port norton
examination was ordered. Tho physicians
took the stomach to analyze its contents
and we learn that there is no indication of
any other poison than alcohol having been
administered. We have not heard who
supplied him the liquor, but public salty de-
mands that the proper officers at once insti-
tutc proceedings against the guilty party or
parties.
Charley was a good mechanic, and has,
we believe been citizen of Grand Haven
some twelve years.
Here is still another example of tho do
ings of liquor; more outrageous, more hor-
rible, and moro distinctive. We copy the
particulars from tho Pontiac Jacksonien:
"Last Sabbath morning, man named
JAS, phillis made n sayaro assault with an
axe on his wife, at his house in Orion, not
far from the Steam Mill at Mahopac. He
struck her twice on the back and inflicted
two very severe and dangerous wounds, and
it is very doubtful if she can ever recover
!. A son of Phillips, in attending to save his
mother was struck across the temple, and
scull fractured and the result is in this case
doubtful. a young man by tho name of
Bcrdslce was present and with blow Of
tho axe in the hands of Phillips his arm was
nearly sevred Whiskey was at the bottom
OF all"

The NORTH AND THE SoUTH.-That most
eloquent Of all Southerners, as think, Mr..
Prertiss Of Miss. was addressing n crowd Of
some 1000 people in that State, defending
tho tariff and, in the cRurse of an eloquent
l.eriod which rose gradually to some -beauti-
ful climax, he painted the thrift,th energy,
the comfort, the wealth, the civilization Of
the North in glowing color, when there rose
up on the vision Of the assembly in the open
air, horseman of magnificent proportions;
and just ot the moment of hushed attention,
when the voice Of Prentiss had ceased, and
the applause was about to break forth, the
horseman exclaimed, "D--n the North"
The curse was so much in unison with the
habitual feeling Of Mississippi audience, that
il qucnched their enthusiasm, and nothing
but respect for the speaker kept the crowd
from applauding the horscman. Prentiss
turned his lame foot around and said, "Major
Moody, will you rein in that steed a moment"
He assented. Said he, "Major the horse on
which you sit camo from Upper Missouri; the
saddle that surmounts him came from Tren-
ton, N. j.. the hat on your head was made
at Daubury, Conn, the boots you wear came
from Lynn, Mass; the linen of your shirt is
Irish, and Boston made it up; your broad
cloth coat is Of Lowell manufacture, and cut
in New York; and if to-day you surrender
what you owe the "D--n North you wo'd
sit start naked" daughter and loud APP
plause. )-Speech of Wendell Philips.

THE FoURrH or July IN THE INDIANA
STATE PRrsoN.-The celebration Of Indcpen
dcncc day by convcts in the pcnitentiary may
be considered as n wonderful anomaly, but
not at all inconsistent with the ideas of prog
ress psevaent in this age. Such IN ovcnt
actually occurred in the State Prison Of Ind-
ana, at Jacksonville, opposite Louisville, last
Saturday. The prisoners were granted ho-
liday, and in the morning an address was dc.
livercd by DR.. Menes, of Greene county, con-
victed for life, having committed murder
His speech is said to have been an exceeding
ly crcdtable production, aboundng in good
advice TO his fellow convicts. After dinner n
dance came off in one of the largo halls, and
foot races were run in the yard. Tho celc-
bration was closed b. an Grafton hy l. r..
Crawford, Of Tippecanoe county. 1t was Of
the regular Fourth Of July style, radiant with
'siar.spangled banner notions, and fights Of
rhetoric about the land Of the free.
