The ReDOrt..RresIin.
LIBERTY, johnson Co., july 10.

Ike Columbus Gazette, of Friday an
nounces that the report Of Mr.. Sparrow, the
Commissioner appointed by Gov. Chase to
investigate the condition of the State Treas
ury, will be made in the course of week
Or ten days. The Gazette thinks Mr.. S.
will be able to show where great part of
the public money has gone to; and adds
that "the history of some very curious and
interesting financial operations may be look
ed for"
The plundered taxpayers are impatient
for the Report, as well as for the arrest and
and return of the big treasury robber from
Canada, or where ever he followed the I'M
derground railroad to. 1t is stated that
Breslin is at Sandwich, and that his and
other lawyers say he cannot be brought
back under our treaty with Great Britain.
The matter can and should be tested at once.
1t is certainly great oversight if the treaty
with England falls short of treaties with
Switzerland and Frace in its provisions rel
ative to the surrender of fugitive criminals.

WASHINGTON, Aug

WASHINGTON, Aug. /.
New Orleans papers of Sunday last are
to hand. They contain Vera Cruz dates to
the 21s., and City of Mexico dates to the
18th. As far as heard from the elections
are all favorable to Comonfort. 1t was
believed that Benito Juarez, progressis-
tro, was elected President of the Special
Court. In the election for Deputies in
City of Mexico on the 10th the lib
erals were triumphant. Serious alarm
was felt regarding the state of affairs
with Spain, The Secretary of the in
terror had addressed circular to the Gov
ernors of the States on the subject.
1t was stated that rapture was then
inevitable and called on the Governors to
hold the National Guards ready for orders,
and to transmit reports of their numbers
and deficiency to headquarters. The Rio
National says that in case of wal, Com
monfort will need the army of Juares, and
act as President i'll his stead. The news
of war with the Pinto Indians was con-
flicting.
Gen. Alvarez had not succeeded in sub
dueing them, and it was reported that his
health had given way.
Gen. Lepez Wiaga, who was formerly
exiled, has offered his services to Common
fort in case of war with Spain.
Vera Cruz papers were silent on the sub
ject of Vornito.
The revolutionary movements at Jalapa
in favor of Santa Anna had caused the
government considerable uneasinesS. 1t
was in Cuba.

A SLAVE WHIPPED TO DEATH-We
have received information that slave was
chained with long chain, on the 25th ult.,
in Pulaski county, KY, by Mr.. Stigal
owner, and whipped every morning daily,
for six days, from fifty to one hundred
stripes. On the morning OF the seventh
day he approached to complete the weeks
torture, but failed to enjoy that days whip
ping. He found the poor tortured mortal
dead.
The slave had asked permission of his
master to go to see his wife on Saturday
night, which request was denied him: but
Notwithstanding, the black man, after his
work was done, and all were in bed, went
to see his wife but returned before daylight
to make fires and to feed.
He was put into box and buried, but
the coroner, hearing of the outrage, had
the body dug up and examined by three
physicians who pronounced "death by
whipping" Officers are in search of the
inhuman murderer, but we presume moth
ing will be done to him if found. Let the
reader imagine that negro has whipped
a white man to death for going to see
his wife at the end of his weeks work,
and that, too, at night when all are asleep,
and see what will be his feelings.
White men are put to death for muir
der, black ones for love and true affection.

Another Attempt ut Murder.

On the 21st of July, Geo. d. Prentice,
editor of the Louisville Journal, met on
the sidewalk of that city, R. Z. Durrett,
one of the editors of the Courier and shot
at him five times, with revolver, but
without wounding him. The Courier, it
seems had accused Mr. P. of drunkenness,
and for this the life of the editor was sought
The morals of community are sadly def
cient when any respectable public senti-
ment apologises for such outrages. 1t is
but yesterday since Gay assassinated young
Price, and attempted to assassinate his
father on the public highway, for very
innocent story supposed to have been writ
ten by young Prices mother, and publish
ed in our paper. John Clay recently shot
man in Lexington, and we have not heard
that he was even arrested. Indeed, scarce
ly month passes without recording a
bloody tragedy of some kind in Kentucky.
There is but one remedy for these evils

ERGoT IN GRASS AGAIN.-Mr. G. G..
Atwate of Munla Station, Portage county,
has sent us specimens of June grass, of this
years growth. which are badly ergoted.-
He states that his whole crop is so affected.
We were afraid that the large amount of
rain in the early part of the season, would
have this effect and would recommend
great care on the part of farmers in feeding
such food to stock. There is not the least
doubt of the injury which such diseased
feed inficts upon animals eating it. Cows
in calf are liable to abortion, by eating any
grass or grain containing ergot. We know
of no antidote to. this poison, although it is
highly probable that an undiscovered one
does exist. AS June grass seems to be
more liable than any other of our forage
plants to the attacks of this parasitic fun
gus, it would be well if our farmers who
have pastures covered with it, would sub
stitute timothy or some other grass less
liable TO ergot. Grass so affected is far
less nutrious than that which is exempt, as
the seed affected loses its nutritive quail
tiles, and large number of the other seeds
are undeveloped and abortive,-Reporter.

RAILROAD IN OHIo.-The editor of the
Cincinnati Gazette says, that in this State
we have $500 miles of finished Railroad.
the cost of which was about $9O,OOO,OO0,
They employ constantly about thirty thou
sand men, six hundred locomotives, five
thousand cars, and consume two hundred
and fifty thousand cords ofwood annually.
Remarking upon the power of locomo-
tives, it says that twenty years ago, it was
held that locomotive could not ascend a
grade of more than fifty feet to a mile.-
1t has been satisfactorily proved that a
locomotive can ascend grade of two hun
dred feet to mile, with moderate train
of cars. If this were not the fact, some
of the most profitable roads in the country
would not have been built.

The Threatened Kasuas War.

This valorous attempt of Walker 10
frighten or to ruin the the people of Law
renee will appear more wanton when it Is
remembered that Leavenworth City has
an organized government with Mayor and
other municipal officers, and in fact even
now, with the hirelings at the doors of the
persecuted city of Lawrence, no one can say
what the people Of that place have done
except to organize local government for
the purpose of bridging a ravine, watering
the streets makeiug sidewalks and attend
ing to other local matters. Now when
Leavenworth City was organized under the
reign of terror assisted by the Border Ruff
fan Democracy two years and half since,
why were not the United States troops Or
dered to invest that place? Why did not
the Locofoco papers of that time denounce
the people of that city as traitors, insur-
gents, etc.? A letter form Lawrence gives
the following account of the insurgents: :"
"Gov. Walker has entered Lawrence this
afternoon at the head of a United States
army of several hundred men. These are
dragons, and are under the command of
Cook. He issued proclamation at Leav-
enworth, against the city charter of Law
renee. HIS proclamation l have sent
1t is at issue of absurdities. There is scarce
ly town in Kansas that had not some ar
rangement for managing its affairs. Law
renee had a President and Town Council
nearly three years ago. The design for
city charter is necessity originated
in the recent rapid growth Of the place.
1t was to have the ravines bridged, roads
made out of town, and nuisances re-
moved from the streets. There was no
design to employ force in doing anything.
The tax would be voluntarily paid, and
an irresistible public sentiments alone
would give force TO those arrangements.-
There are only one or two Pro-slavery men
in the city. These participated in the char
tar election, and are cheerfully in favor of
it. AS yet nothing has been done. An
election was held on Monday. Officers
were elected by the people. As yet they
have not even been sworn in. Some of
them were absent from town at the election.
Gov. Walker has writs for the arrest of the
persons thus voted for. He has gone off
At half cock. This stupid warlike demon
stration is the most insane thing that was
ever done in Kansas. Don Quixotte's tilt
against the windmill was joke to it."

Elections last MOnday.

In Kentucky the election for Members Of
Congress and State officers, came off last
Monday. The contest was between the
Americans and Democrats, and both par
ties had candidates in all the Congressional
districts except the fifth.
On the same day an election for men,
bers of Congress, Secretary of State, Mem
bers of the State Legislature, &c, was held
in Kansas.
On the same day an animated contest
for governor, closed in Missouri. Col.
Stewart is the regular nominee, and Maj.
Rollins the independent, Bentonian candi-
date. The contest has been very excit-
ing one, so much so, that the rival candi-
dates came to blows on several occasions.

ONO STATE FAIR.-The State Fair oi
Ohio, to be held this year, at Cincinnati
promises to be equal to any of our preced-

agricultural implements, machinery, stock,

expect to see there the best products of the
farmers Of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana
The Fair Grounds are being put in order.
Thirty hands are constantly at work.
Manufacturers Hall will be three hundred
feet in length; Farm Implement Hall 200,
and Power Hall l2O. The accommodation
for stock will embrace about 500 stalls.

EThe crops in New England-as in
almost every other section of the country
are looking as favorable as could be de-
sired. The frequent showers, followed by
warm sun, are bringing on the corn finely.
Potatoes never looked better, and if not
attacked by disease, will turn out large
crop of excellent quality. A large guam
tity of hay has already been secured, as
much probably, as the whole crop on some
seasons, and half of it is yet uncut, the
work having been delayed by the heavy
showers of the last few days.

ANOTHER MAN HUNG IN lowA.-The
Oskaloosa (Iowa) Times. of July 10th
states that Judge Stone on the l4th in
slant opened special term of his court at
Montezuma, Powshiek Co. for the trial of
VIM. B. Thomas, charged with the mur-
der of Mr.. and Mrs. Castell, who are sup
posed to have been murdered in conse-
quence of their bodies having been discov-
cred in the woods near Montezuma last
fall. As soon as the court was open,
Thomas arose and asked change of ven
ue. But no sooner had the decision been
made, than mob of two hundred armed
persons seized the prisoner and took him
out of the custody of the sheriff. They
took him outside of the limits of the town
and hung him without going through even
the formalities of mock trial. Judge
Stone followed the mob urging them to re-
spect the laws, but at length had to leave
the town to escape the same fate as the
unfortunate prisoner. This makes the
SIXTH man hung by mobs in Iowa during
the last eight weeks.

Shannon, who resides as LAWYER at Le-

A New Star in the West.

We observe in the Missouri Democrat
some of the first fruits of the emancipation
movement in that state:
"The sales of public lands in this dis
trict, within the last sixty days, have reach.
ed 100000 acres-entered almost exclu-
sively by persons from the free states
Ohio and Pennsylvania being largely rep
resented among the purchasers. The
amount of entries exceeds that of the three
previous years at the Springfield office
Our readers will recollect that the land reg
lister at Warsaw, published in this paper
some weeks ago, that 100000 acres had
been entered in this district within about
the same length of time, aud that the Of
flee was in consequence closed until further
notice. About two thousand acres per day
are being entered in the Jackson district.
At Palmyra there are only, we are inform
ed, about $4,000 acres of government land
now subject to entry. In the Northwest
ern part of the State, emigrants are crowd
ing in from Iowa, where the lands have
become too high for actual settlers to pur-
chase. They have consequently turned
their attention to Missouri, where lands at
reduced prices can be had, and milder
climate, and more fertile soil offer great
er inducements to farmers. The prospect
of Missouri becoming free state is set.
tied conviction in the minds of the people
Of the north, and to this significant fact we
owe the unparalleled activity in our land
market"
These facts, says the New York Ere
ming Post are eloquent. They show how
promptly emigration responds to the call
for free labor in the slave states, and how
simple is the remedy for the decaying ten
denotes of southern society. While their
demogogues are quarreling with every one
who will not make the propagation of sla-
very the chief end of government, their
lands are wearing out under awretched and
impoverishing system Of culture, labor is
become more scarce with them, their prop
erty is depreciating, their enterprise is dis
couraged, their schools are deserted, their
newspapers stop, and finally, private and
public bankruptcy is hanging like a black
cloud over all the states under the control
of this class of men. How suddenly is
the prospect changed in Missouri within
the short period of two years, of less, by
the free labor movements of the independ-
ent and vigorous band of young statesman,

The Fremont Land Claims

The Supreme Court decided a number
of cases some of which are elaboratelv nre-
pared and of very great Importance The
case of the Mereed Mining Companv vs.
John C. Fremont and Others, decided bv q
majority of the Court, settles de6niielv
the right of the Merced Company to pros
ecute their mining operations on the Ere
mont grant, by perpetuating the injunc-
tion against the defendants.
The Importance of this case is evinced
in the fact that improvements amounting
to eight hundred thousand dollars have
been made upon the property. The deci-
sion is rendered by Mr.. Justice Burnett.
Mr.. Justice Terry concurring. Chief JUS
tice Murry dissented in seperate opinion.
The majority of the Court expressing no
opinion upon the point whether the min
erals in the soil of California belong to the
State or to the United States, hold that
the heenee granted to work those lands,
whether 1t be tacit or express, confers GER
tam rights upon the occupant, which will
enable them to sue. Although the right
10 eh)olh tresspassers was once questioned,
1t Is now conceded, and as the value of
those lands consists in the gold contained
in them, to remove that gold is to work an
irreparable injury TO the occupant. Hence
an injunction TO restrain the removing of
the gold was perfectly proper. Upon this
the Chief Justice bases his disagreement
He does not consider the injury Of such an
irreparable character as 10 bring it within
the scope of the rule laid down in the au-
thorities as well as by the Supreme Court.
