Tho Knnans Election.

BY the telegraph dispatch from St. Louis
published yesterday, it appears that large
number of the Free State men have taken
the advice of their true friends, and caused
;heir names to be registered as voters at the
ensuing election Commercial.
1t is little amusing 20 notice now anx-
ious the Border Ruflians are to have the
Free State men vote at their election
They have set thoir trap; baited it nicely
with roastc 1 cheese carefully adjusted all the
springs; de Jared themselves t, the be trut
friends Of Kansas; and are waiting impa
tienily to have the bait taken, and the vic
tins caught. But why should the rul
friends of Kansas be so anxious? Gov
Walker says that it will mako no difference
whether they vote or not; that if they stay
away from the polls they virtually empower
tho minority to cast their vote for thom.-
This is another step in democratic princi-
pies" which our neighbor has not sufficient.
ly considered. The true friends of Kansa;
need not be so exercised about this matter
Of voting. They will have everything theil
own way at the election Toledo Blade.

Important Decision.

Judge Petit, of Indiana, recently madc
decision in an important case on bill of
exchange, at Fayettc, which, if sustained as
law, will have material effect on the ex-
change business of banks and bankers. The
case was founded upon bill of exchange
drawn and accepted by parties in Toledo
and discounted by bankers in Lafayette, for
the accommodation of the holder at n con-
siderable shave, tho holders endorsement
being required to tho bill, rs condition of
its being taken. The bill was not paid at
maturity; the bankers camo on the en-
dorser for payment, who set up the plea OF
usury for defence. The Judge charged that
the fact tho plaintiff required the endorse
mrnt of the holder Of the bilI--now the de-
frndant in tho suit--made the transaction
loan Of money to him, and not sale OF
the JW and consequently uSurious, if more
than six per cent, was taken. and that they
could not in any event find for the pla ntiffs
for n greater sum than tho amount paid by
them upon the bill, when they received it.
and also that verdict must be rendered
against the plaintiffs for cnsts. The resul,
Of tho trial was verdict for the plaintiff,
fpr the amount advanced hy them upon the
bill, without any interest whatever, and
against them for costs.

GEN. Lafayette and a Colored mau.

Lorain county contains numerous party
Of white men, and women, too who seem
ready and willing to do all in their power
to promote the elevation Of their colored
fellow citizens. This was abundantly evinc-
cd by the various tokens, in meetings and
social circles. At Elyria, at tho close of an
interesting meeting in the Court House, DR..
Griswold volunteered an encouraging speech
during which he cited fact witnessed by
himself in Hartford, Conn. When Gene
raj Lafayette was on his triumphal tour
through the United States in 1925, he
there discovered in the crowd an old colorcd
man whom he recognized MS his gallant
companion in the Amrican revolutionary
war; He had been shaking hands with
white fellow-soldiers, but in this instance he
transcendcd these formaities, and actually
embraced colored veteran--inquiring for
other colOrcd soldiers engaged with them in
the war.
This scene of mutual rejoicing and re-
mcmbrance produced marked sensation at
the time, and left an indeliblc impression
upon many hearts.

Good Rules for Gardening.

Never work with bad tools. The differ
ence between the work done in month
wonld buy set of new ones.
Havo place for every tool, and never
leave one out of its place; or to go further
"a place for everything aud everything in
its place"
Never waste animal or vegetable refuse.
The very soap-suds from tho laundry arc
rich manure.
Have all flower-pots washed, dried and
put away as soon as they are empty.
Never fill pot so full of soil hut that il
may hold water enough to go through it
every pot should have half an inch of vacan
CIV above the compost.

Frank BiaIr,n Brother on the stump for
EntameiUottOM.


Hon. Frank Blair Of st. Louis, has .
brother, James @. Blair, residing in Lewis
county, No, who like Frank, is in favor Of
Kidding his State Of the curse Of Slavery
The National Democracy Of Clark county
held a meeting at the county scat, Water.
loo, a few days ago, and James @. Blair
was called upon TO address them, which he
did.
He declared his oposition 10 the agitation
Of the slavery question, but at the same
time he admitted that he looked forward
with delight to tho coming Of the time
when slavery ,CoUid be blotted out in Ms
souri,. Mr. Blair said that while he endors-
ed the principle Of non-invention, he felt
that he had right to entertain private
opinion with regard TO the subject Of slavery.
He gave his private opinion on the sub
ject at considerable length, and in bold, man.
ly language against the continuance of
slavery in thot State. He said:
'Not far distant in the future, can be-
hold the extinction of negro slavery in Mis-
souri,, and in tho morning Of that day, the
fresh footprints Of the departing slave will
be blotted out by the advancing steps Of
thousands of white freemen, who will come
to people your rich lands, quicken your en-
ergics, develop your natural resources, in
crease the value of your farms, build up
your cities and towns, spread wide your com
mcrce, extend your already commenced
railroads, erect your iron and other manu-
facturing establishments, and mako yours
the brightest, the proudest, and most pros.
porous star that glittcrs in that national con.
stelation which gives light, and life, and
hope, TO the world Let Missouri but kcer
the fututc in view, and she must become
the great interior agricultural, commercial
and manufacturing State of the Union.
Yours ia the white mans State; and so
cialy, politically, or any other way, the ne
gro question cannot control its destines.-
Further South, tho slave may be of service
to the people; but in your State he il curse
both to those who hold him and to every
man who does not hold him to service
He does not belong to tho fixtures of your
State, and it will be the brightest day in
your history when he is emancpated, or re.
moved from your soil. Missouri possesses
elements Of greatness not excelled, if equal
led, by any State of the thirty-o and is
destined to he the finest State in the Con.
federacy. The exodus Of slavery from among
you will date the period when Missouri will
step to tho head of the sisterhood of the
Union
1t may not be improper to add that thc
ncighbors Of Mr.. Blair are talking Of running
him for Congress, to fill the scat made Va
cant by the election of Greene to the U. S
Senate. Would it not be glorious to SO,
the two noble Blairs in Congress from Mis-
souri.--National Era.

A verv sensible writer in the Steubenville
Herald, recommends every citizen Of that
city, and of every other town or city, in
control of garden spot, to use the same
this season to the best possible advantage.
The great scarcity of money, and the exor-
titlnt high price of vegetables demand it.
See that every foot of ground you occupy,
that is designed for cultivation is judicous-
" planted with something for the table,
After your garden has been rs thoroughly
planted as usual, see if there is not room
for something more. Remember the pro
verb, that she who makes two blades Of
grass grow, where but ono grew before, is
n public benefactor." How much more n
"benefactor' is he who makes two hills OF
potatoes grow where mono grew before, in
these days of contracted currency and 'la-
mine prices" 1t is evident, too, that it moro
attention were paid to gardening, our tables
would be more fully supplied, and with
more tempting varieties. Vegetables arc
conceded to be moro healthy, and more
economical than so much fesh-gristly beef,
diseased hog meat-dirty and rancid grease.
Besides, the more vegetables that are pro-
duced, the less other Tr)visions arc to be
purchased-and the loss dependent is the
consumer. So, to bo more independent
Ito guard against high prices, let every
citizen be admonshed, and have his garden,
this season, aoeH filled and a0eR titled.

FIVE thousand dollars reward for the detec-
ton of the murdcrers of Burdell, simply
for desire to attract attention. The Mer-
cury says:
