ENCOURAGING News FROM KANSAS
A writer from lawrence, under the date
of December 18th, says;
Everything now looks encouraging.
Gov. Geary, believe, with an honest
purpose, is striving to establish justice.
The Judiciary stands as much in his
way as it does in ours. If Pierce
should cut off the head of that internal
villain, Lecompte, | believe | should for
give him to about one-quarter of my
hate. My impression is that this will
be done, and that the next Bogus Legis-
lature will likewise vote grand spong-
ing operation all around-as much per-
haps to save the heads of their own men
as to conciliate those whom they have
found it an expensive operation to try to
'sUBDUE.'
kansas is not yet conquered! Prop
erty in Lawrence is to-day worth fifty
per cent more than it was before the adj
ministration of Gov. Geary was inaugu-
rated. Tell the North to be of good
cheer Roll the emigration in! There
was never better time Il mean next
spring. 1t is too late now for comfort. J
But when Spring shall again unlock the
flowing waters and the juices of the earth,
and every vale and every hillock shall
be vocal and verdant with re-awakened
nature after Winters repose, then let
the notes of preparation be heard-the
preparation of a great army-an army
invulnerable in their NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Gus in the greatness of their strength
mighty to save!''

The Senatorial Question.

The Racine Advocate, speaking of
that clause Of the Constitution in rela-
ton to the election of Judges to offices
other than those of a Judicial character,
says: "The disqualification evidently
is intended to apply to thcm-thc Jud =
cs-whilc they are such, and not to the
individual who may at some anterior
date, have been on the bench" Will
the .19c0c0te look again ut the Constitu-
ton, and tel rs what that sentence
means, which says, 10 Judge "during
tie ternt for arhich he rae olected," shall
be eligible, &c, Sc. The term for
which Judge is elected is six years,
and if the Constitution means anything,
how 1t can embrace any other period
than the six years in question, it is diff
cult for us to imagine.
1t is very true that the Senate of the
L. 5. will Judge OF the qualifications OF
its members independent Of State Con
stitutions, but our State Constitution il
will be borne in mind, is intended foi
the govemance of our own Legislature
and not the Senate or Congress of tn,
|. ). Our Constitution says, that al
votes cast for a Judge for any Office ex
cept Judicial office during "thc term
for which he was elected" shall be void
and without effect. Will the Advocate
tell US how, under such provision, the
Legislature can possibly elect any mar
L. 5. Senator, who has been clectet
Judge, and the time for which he wa,
elected, not having expired. We would
rather or as leye see Judge Doolittle U
;. Senator as any man in the State
Just show us how he can be made such
