The Kansas Question.

The st. Louis Leader, in speaking of
the Kansas Constitution question, says
"The, only question on which there is
any difference of opinion is tho subject of
slavery-and hat the Constitution pro-
vides shall be submitted to the people of
Kapsas-iu other respects the coustitu-
ton which has been framed by the con-
v~eDtion agrees precisely with those which
exist in most States of the Union irdeed
it is copied almost verbatim from those
of two or three of the adjoining States
We do not believe that a better one has
ever been framed. The question of sla-
very can now be settled by a direct vote
Of the people of Kansas. The anti-sla-
very party affirm that they outnumber
their opponents three to one if so, they
can settle the question at once without
further agitation.
"This we are aware the Black Repub-
licans of the North do not want, as they
thereby lose all their thunder, but the
whole country is tired of their shrieks
and bowls, and we may hope that at
length the people of Kansas will look out
for their W interest, and refrain from
prolonging a disturbance which can effect
no earthly object"

The Craddock Murder-The De-
PENDANTS DISCHARGED.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 4.-Commonwealth OF
Kentucky VS.. Miller and others. The
primary examination has closed, and the
seven persons accused by Miller of the
murder of Craddock were discharged
Miller's testimony occupied two days
All the defendants, save Miller, severally
introduced testimony proving an abb and
good character; also giving Miller a bad
character, as unworthy of belief.
District Attorney Craig moved a CON-
mitment of Miller for perjury. The Judg
es replied that he was already held on the
charge of murder by his own confession.
Tremendous applause was given by the
large crowd upon the discharge of the
parties implicated by Miller.
This is an extraordinary case. Grad
dock was a rich but bad man, who man
aged to escape the punishment of the law
for his offences. He was warned by his
fellow citizens to leave the country by an
appointed time under the penalty of death.

The Love Cure.

A recent number OF the Cincinnati
Times says:
Our Western Reserve is becoming
quite noted for its adoption of illicit doc
trines and practices. The "higher law"
principle, first invoked, during an inten-
sified feeling relative to slavery, is now
applied to questions of a moral or social
as we'll as political nature. The last
movement of especial Importance, in that
region, is tie establishment of what is
termed a "Love Cure" 1t seems that a
community of Social Revolutionists has
been organized at Berlins flights, in Erie
county, that they have purchased proper
ty, and are now making arrangements to
demonstrate in their own lives the beauty
of their reformation" There is nothing
especially new we believe, in their code.
They are like all such Reformers, belize
vers, in spiritualism, and regard the rev.
Citations of the Bible as secondary to the
Inspirations with which they are person
ally favored. They reverse individual
independence, and hold that society has
no right to enact any Law or to install
any custom which trammels individ-
ual action. For instance, the laws in
operation and the customs in vogue re-
lative to marriage are considered, by these
'sreformers'' as tyranical and odious, be-
cause once married a mans or woman's
action is thenceforth fettered. They re-
pudiate these avs and all others which
prevent unlimited individual freedom.
The community at Berlin Heights, is
said to number eighty strong, including
thirty females. Among their establish
ments is a hotel, which is conducted on
the vegetarian and bydropathic principles,
and which they have been pleased to de-
nominate the " Love Cure" tits not
intended, as fts name indicate, to cure
that most holy of passions in the human
heart, love; but, by proper treatment, to
eradicate the popular notions of love-
In other words, regarding all minds but
their own diseased in reference to matri.
mony they purpose to cure those who ga
vor them with their patronage by a prac-
teal application of the doctrines of free
love.
1t is said that some opposition has
been manifested to this patent moral re-
who have wives they love, and women who
have husbands they esteem, and parents
who nave children upon whom they bestow
affection, fear the Influence of the Love
They have met and expressed
their disapprobation, but yet have failed
to effect the Berlin Heights Hotel. The
"reformers'' AVE planted themselves upon
the "higher law" principle, aud regard
all opposition persecution. SO far they
hold their OVID, and they will continue to
do SO until the novelty of the "reform"
dies aUav. |

OPENING OF Il

The first session of 35th Congress open
ed to-day, with a harmony unsurpassed at
any former occasion of the kind. The
House has organized by the choice of ME.
Dan, Democratic member from South
Carolina, as Speaker by a vote of l28
votes to 81 for Mr.. Grow of PennsylVa-
MIA. The Vice President being absent,
the Senate chose Mr.. Fitzpatrick, OF Al
ALBANIA, its temporary Chairman.
What q striking contrast is here pre-
sented to the session of last winter. The
Black Republicans then, with a clear ma
jority in the house were two months elect
ing a speaker, at an expense to the nation
of almost millions. A Democratic Con-
eress elect their speaker upon the hrst
day Of the session, and upon the hrst bal
lot.

RURRAR FOR ATLANTIC AND
E WESTERN RAHL ROAD!

rs LLA Van
The Cincinnati Commercial of Satur-
day states that a contract providing for the
resumption of work on the Cincinnati
Extension of the New York and Erie Rail
Road to Dayton, has been signed in Eu-
rope, and an amount of iron purchased
sufficient to lay the track from Olean to
Crestline. The Commercial says:
Tho Ohio extension of the New York
and Erie road is no new project. 1t was
located several years since, and a consid-
cradle amount of the grading done from
Dayton eastward. The road leaves the
main stem of the New York and Erie at
Olean, on the Allegheny river, some so
miles from Dunkirk, and follows a straight
line through Hudson, Junction of the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh. with the Cleve-
land, Evansville and Cincinnati,1 Crest
line, Urbana and Springfield, to Dayton,
whence it is proposed to lay down a third
rail on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton trunk line, to its connection, already
perfected. with the Cincinnati Depot of
the Ohio and Mississippi road-and so
continuing the six feet gauge from New
York City, through Cincinnati, to st.
Louis.
It is understood that work will com,
menee at Crestline and Olean, in order to
perfect the communication with the Erie
road with the important functions at the
former point. as soon as possible, and it
is stated that the iron for this section of
the project has been purchased.
The contract provides for and secures
the subscription of FIVE millions of dollars
in Europe.
EWe hope most earnestly that the
above is correct. It will be a matter OF
great rejoicing to many hereabouts, sub
scribers to the road, who have looked up
on it for some time as a " broad gouge"
already completed. If once finished 1t
will be one of the best paying roads in
the Union, and Ashland will no longer
be known as the town " clear away from
nowhere" Be of good cheer.
