H Some persons seem to have mis-
apprehended our meaning in last weeks
article, in relation to giving away town
lots. They take it that we recommended
the City Company to give away no town
lots whatever. This was not the case. On
the contrary, we think it would be very
good plan to give lots TO men who ex-
presses willingness, if sufficient induce
ments are offei ed, to come here and estab-
lish some useful and necessary branch Of
manufacture, bushes or mechanism, which
would give character to the town, and
bring trade here and we believe the Com
pany have been willing to do this. What
we condemned, was giving away lots in
discriminatory to any and everybody who
would come and build house or live here,
regardless of character and everything
else, merely for the purpose of multiply
ing the number of houses in town, and
rendering the vacant lots apparently more
valuable, and which would eventually
operate as drawback to the place, in
stead Of as benefit.

returns of the vote on the Lecompton

election, in order to make it appear. al

voted. But with the advantage of having
had it all to themselves. and nothing to
prevent Illegal voting. they have prOba-
bly, made a poor out at it.
At Iowa Point, some 100 votes were
cast. At the October election. there
were 112 Pro-Slavery votes. This is
rather poor show, all circumstance.

E Senator Douglas speech has had
aPOwerful effect in Congress, against the
Lecompton Constitution. Most of the
Northern members have deserted the
Administration scheme, and sided with
Douglas; and it is said that the President
himselfhas considerably moderated. The
Indiana Delegation, which had sided
with Buchanan. waited upon him, and
informed him that they could go for the
LecomptOn Constitution no longer, after
hearing the expose of Douglas. The
Fire-Katers at Washington have threat.
ened to tar and feather Douglas. An
attempt has been made to read him out
OF the party, and efforts have commenced
to crush him politically. He will b.
retained as Chairman of the COMMITTEES
on Territories, but will be left in a mi.
nority on that Committee. But it is vel
confidently predicted that Douglas viii
beat them.

SOMETHING Coon IN NAzARETH.-Chas

ry Constable of this Township. has been
ousted from the place, and D. S. Chap.
son appointed in his stead. 1t appears
that the Office is not an elective one, but
has to be filed by appointment by the
Probate Judge. Mr.. Chapson was the
Free State candidate, against Blakely,
at the October election, and would then
have been elected. had not the Judges of
election adopted rule which defrauded a
large number of Free State men of their
votes. Notwithstanding his boast that
he could be elected to the Office a en-
as he wanted it, B. finds there's many

"hero of the war" to be served so, but
it can't be helped. He may think that a

forcing upon them. It frequently hap

seven months, which, at the rate Of 80

continue sending him the paper, and If he

HE LEoIsLATgRE.-We have at Length
ascertained whatWas done BY thu LeSis.
lature. The acts are briefly as follows:
They petitioned Congress to reject tn,
Lecompton and accept the Topeka Con.
stitution.
They passed an election law, with
heavy penalties for all kinds Of election
frauds.
They passed an act to submit the lie
compton Constitution to the people, t.
be voted upon on the first Monday il
January. the day appointed for the cleo.
ton Of State officers under that Constitu,
ton, but at separate poll. conducted BY
Judges appointed by three Commission.
ers in each County. who are to be ap,
pointed by the Governor. There will b
three forms of ballots, viz +: "For Con.
stitution with Slavery" For Constitu.
ton without Slavery" and "No lie.
compton Constitution" This vote is tc
be sent to Congress. as an expression o.
the win of the people of the Territory.
They passed militia law, and ap.
pointed officers of the militia.
And they repealed the Rebellion Act.
Most of these bills were vetoed by the
Governor. but passed over his veto. We
think there was not much consistency IN
their petitioning Congress to receive the
Topeka in preference to the Lecomptor
Constitution, when the same objection
may be urged against the former as the
latter; and then passing an act to submit
the LecomptOn Constitution to a vote o.
the people. The latter was a very good
move, but they mixed most too many
things together. that do not tally with
each other"
