The Uniox processes to Get forth what are or must
be Governor Geary's views Of Kansas affairs, and
his reasons for laying down his trust. The article
betrays throughout a consciousness that the facts
are not as it would represent them. We have
never had any direct communication with Governor
Geary, and, if we were now 10 address him, would
baye no sapsuine expectations Of response. The
Union is more favored: 1t 10 published in the city
where Gov. G. now sojOurns, and it can doubtless
obtain from him ready and prompt responses. We
challenge it therefore, to procure and publish his
answers 10 the following questions:
/. Aie the outrages, robberies, devsstaion' and
murders which have darkened the infancy of Kan
sas Justly chargeabe in the main oa the Free-Sssto
or on the selfstyled Law and Order party
2. Was the election Of March 80, 1855, . free and
true expression Of the will Of the settlers Of Kansas
then entitled to vote and is the so called Terrific
rial Legislature of Kansas fairly constituted rep
resentatiOn of the then pioneers Of Kansas
8. Are the Free-State party right or wrong In re-
fa,pg to recognize that BODY as true Legislature,
and in scouting the suggestion Of obey its dictates
as Isws9
e. IL there any rational hope that the Off ,ers just
dtsjgaa'ed TO take census of the lega. voters in
Kansas vii discharge that responsibility Impair
italy, and mike q true list Of the legal voters
therenl Ifnot, why not!
s. Suppose the Free-Ssa'e men to number two
to che Of the legal residents of Kansas, is there
the smallest prospect that they might, ny the most
earnest eforts, secure majority in the approach
ing Constitutional Convention
6. D. es Gov. Geary, as friend advise the Free
State men Of Kansas to vote or take any part IN
that election
Z. Does he, or does he not regard the Free
Safe men of Kansas as grossly wronged BY the
course Of most Federal Officers In Kansas, az well
as OF the Border Ruffsnsl
g. Does be- or does he not, regard the influences
which bear sway 10 Kansas as oppressive aud I'M
Just toward the Free.Staie men and their cause
O. Does be, or does be not, believe that Kansas
is in imminent danger Of having Pro-Slavery Con-
stituton fastened upon her in defiance of the en-
phatic repugnsnce Of three-f5urths Of her people
10. Does be, or does be not, regard the Border
Ruffian usurpation in Kansas and the "aid and
comfort rendered it from Washington, - the real
causes Of the troubles there prevailing!
When The Union shall have procured for as
Gov Geay's answers to these searching QUESTION:,
we ,hall be ready to prosecute the investigation.
We wish only that the whole case should be fairly

Strainiug at q gnst and swallowing camel is no
novelty in the moral world, but the INST striking
recent Illustration of II 10 furnished by the State OF
Mississippi. The Legislature Of that virtaous
commonwealth have just amended their criminal
code 10 the effect that no lizard table shall be kept
under penalty of not less than $500, nor moro than
$1,000, while person renting house for billiard
playing is subject to hae from 800 to 81 600.
Now, We don't preteni to cay that these arc
not wholesome provisions, that they don't eviacs
q lofty anxiety for the preservation OF tho public
morals; but we must add that We should respect
such measures a great deal more coming from -
honest State than from one which has refused for
years to pay its own just debts and still perssS h
cheating its creditors.

100 bushels 10 the acre would be 10 uncommon crop
While the dairy should be the Leading branch,
by no means follows that others may not Be added
which viii prove equally profitable, If in accordance
with the leading maxim on the preponderance on
the animal product. The land should be made %
productive as possible; bat the farmer should con-
vert all his vegetable products into butter, cheese
pork, beef, or mutton; and only IN one or the
other of these conditions should they be sold from
The farm. There may be localities where different
policy could be benefciauy pursued, but in looking
ever this r,gicn we cannot discover them. The
wbest-R Of Western New-York may chal-
lenge the correctness Of our conclusions as applied
to them. Still, the experience Of the last hve years
ought to sa.isy them that had they devoted more Of
their land to stock, and less to wheat their profits
would be much more satisfactory than at present
To give an idea of the limited extent Of tho dairy
region, a. compared with al the land in use IN
the United States, We have condensed few
statistics fIsn the United States census Of 1850,
which, moro than anything we could say, e.
tablisbes the correctness of our position. TIE
following table of dairy products IN the "frxs
dsiyy rsRiom " includes the whole Of Ohio, and
excludes both Illinois and Indiana, as the amount
manufactured in the valley of the Ohio in the latter
State, would be about equal to the amount manu-
hctured in that portion OF those States lying within
the limits Of the basin Of the lakes.

"An Iriah Republican" writes Us from Hartford

against the Minnesota BILL because Of ito PERM ting

We answer that We emphaticaliy disApprove Of that

do not object to Mr.. Cark's voting that mono but
citizens (nstive or ns!uaised) should enjoy sAe
right Of suffrage; but when that question was de-
cded, we think he ought, both Is Northern repre-
sentative and National Legislator, to have voted
for the bill. Minnesota has to-day population

FRIDAY, MARCH 81, 1857.

We oondole with our anti Usury.law friends on
their conclusive defrat in the Senate yesterday.
For some yean past they have grumbed at The
TRIBUNE as m.inly responsible for their inability 20
make an impression on the Legislature This year,
THE TRIBUNE has attended to other matters aud
lot them entirely alone, yet their success has been
exactly as usual. The fact is, there are too miny
morteseed fsrus in our State, and the men who
owe the mortgages have no relish for having the
rates of interest thereon raised whenever money Is
tieht in Wall street. This may be vulgar pref L.
dice on their part but it will take some effort and
time to overcome it. Keep trying, gentlemen.
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1857-03-27

The Senate of our State hiss, after due delibers-
tion substituted. by vote of sixteen to thirteen,
bill reviviDg the system of Licensing the sale Of
intoxicating Beverages for one decreeing Total
Prohibition of the Liquor Traffic. Our convictions
are entirely with the minority on this vote yet We
do not regret the result. FOr, while we hold Bro.
hbiton to be the true and only efectua remedy for
the fearful evil of IDtemperance, We cannot see
how it is to be upheld and enforced under tho
rul pgs of our present Court Of Appeals. We have
not therefore, participated in the present ef)rt for
revised act Of Prohibition, as better men, doub;-
esf have done, for We could not zee that any prac.
tcal good was likely to be attained BY the success
of that effort. We should very gladly aud heartily
unite in suppressiDg the sale Of Intoxicating Bev-
ersger, but merely to pass act saying this traffic
shall BE- suppressed, with perfect conscousness
that this act would remain dead-letter on the
STA book, reemed to us f'uitless and unadvs,-
bic. And though ingenious exposltions of the
Court of Appeals judgment in the Liquor cases
have been put forth pdrpo ting to show the perfect
compatibility of that Judgment VITA the support Of
q differently framed Prohibitory Law, they have not
shaken our conviction that the Judges forming the
majority in fhe case OF The People against Toynbee
would have nulhfsd, and will always nulHfy, any
effective Prohibitory Act Whatever.
1t being now settled that We cinnO; have law Of
Prohibition enacted by our present Legis ature, We
trust no serious resistance will be made t. the
pssssge of License Act. We have little faith in
acts OF this class-we believe tney will be evaded
ard de6ed as f,grantly % Prohibitory Act would
be-that for every licensed seller under the Books
&C, here will be two sly or bold unlicensed dis
psnsen Of Alcoholic poisOn-but we are anxious 70
have Lcenfe tried in every shape, but especially in
that most acceptable to i.s champions, so that the
public shall zee and confess that other devices for
restraining depraved appetite are no more success
ful than Prohibition. We exhort, therefore, the
fr n6s of Prohibition in either House not to seek to
suend the License bill in such manner as TO make
it their owp nor 10 give any votes for il than
,hal appear to be needed but BY no means to per.
nit il TO be shpfied off or 70 fail in any minner
Let us see what il the best that License can do
for us, in the hope that this may page ths way
for something better.
