The Cincinnati Commercial. one Of the
most prominent Republican papers in the
State, the other day used this language:
"There. are men at Columbus who ore us

publican orgsn, fos the prosecution of de.
signs upon the Treasury of Tie State that
are. to say the least Of very doubtful homes.
ty; and these members OF the Republican
party and this Republican organ, are per
mitting themselves to be thus employed"
The plain English OF this is, that there are
Republican members of the Legislature 90
corrupt that they can readily be brought up
to make unlawful forays upon the Treasury
Of the State. We fear very much that the
people all over the State have. gotten the
notion into their heads that the professions
Of pre.eminent purity, which the Republi'
Can leaders induleed in with prodigal pro-
fsseness, was all make believe. The soon.

A few weeks ago, Thomas Evans, of Ches,
Creek. Clearfeld county Pa, while out on
a hunting excursion, observed a ledge ,oI
rocks, which his experienced eye detected
as being the haunt OF bear: 1t being late
in the evening, he went home. but returned
next morning accompanied by bis brother.
They found narrow passage between the
rocks that led into dark and dishial cave.
On arriving at the mouth OF the cavern, az.
ter throwing down his gun, and divesting him
self Of bis hunting accoutrements, he crawled
in through the narrow entrance, and after
groping about in the dark for some time,
had the pleasure OF laying bis hand upon
bruin's e back. at.L'
Having ascertained the position OF the
animal he returned to the entrance of the
cave and got his gun, then went back into
the cavern to visit bic new acquaintance, e,
While his brother remained outside to act
40 sentry, provided the animal ATTEMPTED to
escape. Hsyiag come up to the bear again
be placed The fnuzzle of his gun against the
animal aud fired. a furious growI ucccm-
panied the report OF the gun, and young
Evans hurried out Of the cave 40 soon ss nos
sible. He, however, put anotfief losd iato
his gun and scrambled back into tie cave
again. This time he succeeded in putting
ball through the vital part Of the animals
body. Il wac dragged out, and weighed
over three hundred pounds. Nh -, 70

~ ........ -. FROM tne hVenlhs Mlrror
The ropeiS:i Convention.

The Topeka Convention.
The recent Topeka Convention did many
nnwise things--such as reviving the dead
snd buried Topeka Constiiution, calling
Upon the next Congress to ratify It, and re-.
appointing Robinson Governor Of the Ter.
ritory. We call these acts unwise because
they are impractfcable and known to the
Topeka gentlemen to be impracticnble. e.
Their Free State Constitution was irreku-
larly framed, was rejected by Congress and
il void. The next Congress will be strong.
ly Democratic, and will Iiotfecede from the
action Of the previous session. As for Rob.
inson, he Is no more President OF Kansas
than Kine:of England, and has ne more leg Il
title to be. The Governor Of Kansas is the
gentleman whom President Bachpnan has
just named Tor that office, under the provis.
Ions Of the organic act Of the Territory.
The obstinate and stupid conduct Of the
Topeka people is unworthy of the Free
State men OF Kansas, with whose honest en-.
deavors to make Kansas Free State we
have always sympathized But we cannot
sympathize with this rebellion against the
law OF the land, and this insult 10 the Fede.
raj Government. The whole thing is silly
farce, and the resolutions Of the Convention
arc not worthth paper on which they are
written. We may laugh the thing off, as
practical joke-but 1t is fool hardy to Jest
on such dangerous gr,dlds.
But 1t is no joke for these Topeka gen.
tlemen to resolve not to participate in tile
approaching election of delegates to the
Constitutional Convention. Bit this is the
substance ofthe very frst Of q very long
string OF resokitiohs they passed: ~
1. Resolued, That the people Of KansaS
Territory cannot participate 10 ony election,
under such regulations, without comprom:s
ing their rights as American citizens, sacri.
ficing the Best Interests OF Kansas, aud teop.
utdiziDg the public peace. 81 @
II the Free State men act under this wick
ed and stupid advice, the late Of Kansas is
sealed. Ii is equivalent 10 making Kansas,
at the outset sIaveholdng State. Why do
they not come up TO their work like men
and DO their best 10 give Kansas free Con,
stiiation! Are they afraid Of being beaten!
Well-if they are to be beaten, it is better
to die gallantly fighting for the good causc.
Bat this giving up the battle in advance,
throwing themselves sapinely on their backs
lor their opponents to run over them, is u
piece Of cowardice and imbecIity which we
do not believe the Free State men can rec.
ohcile with their manliness Or their con
science. en#.fa ,-tfat !, r,,.-l;4
