Information.

In reply to querist, we cannot
state when the land office viii be open
ed. Until it is done and public lands
have becn exposed to sale, and are
made subject to private entry. one
person. representing party of four,
cannot take up piece of land and
helIit for the whole. On the con-
trary, the claims would be snbject to
be taken by pre-emptors who would
locate upon, the lands at nytime.
The boot and shoe business will be
good anywhere in Kansas. a person
could hardly go amiss to establish .
store or mandatory. at present
t,,ere are but very few shops in Ran
sas, none, we believe. in Lawrence
which is engaged in manufacturing.

On motion of DR.. Jas. Davis, the
committee on a public address was
increased SO as to number thirty two,
and selected SO as to represent the va
risus parts of the country from which
they had eniigrated.
On motion, all newspapers friendly
to Freedom in Kansas, in and out Of
the Territory, were requested TO pub
lish the proceedings of this Conven-
tion.
On motion. vote of thanks was
rendered TO the President for the abil-
ity and impartiality with which he
had presided over the deliberations OF

Claim Jumpers.

Why do men attempt to Jump
claims" while there arc so many in the
Territory which persons can get by
the occupancy? Persons building
cabins and moving into them after
night acquire no right by such praeti
ces. and only give contested case at
the Land Office to become the defeat
edparty. We despise these claim
jumpers.as they closely resemble those
who acquire other property in viola
ton of law. Let the wholc public
join in frowning down persons, who
takes advantage of the sickness. Of
temporary absence for the family o
another. and we shall soon be rid o
the genus homo. They are not want
ed in Kansas, and are curse to any 10
cality If a man has two claims, taxi
one.

PALMYRA.

This is the name OF town on the
Santa Fe road, twelve miles south of
Lawrence. 1t was commenced several
years ago, but it has recently passed
into new hands. From what we have
learned Of it we are confident its iu-
ture will be pleasant one. 4 quiet
inland town. on high elevation, insur-
ing health, in the middle of thriving
population, and with many advantages
peculiar to its own location, it must
necessarily attract the attention of
those who wish home for family.
The Methodist Episcopal densmi-
nation have determined upon building
q College in Kansas. 1t is said they
have, or intend to select site on an
eminence near Palmyra, which has a
commanding view of the whole coun-
try, and that the work viii be COM
menced this season. This fact will
give to the point indicated a promi-
ncnce which, otherwise, it would not
have attained. They have very ex-
cellent steam saw mill now in opera
ton and intend adding other machine
ry soon. Being contiguous to large
body of timber, known as Hickory
Grove, it will not suffer for the want
of fuel or lumber. We should be
pleased if some person in the vicinity
of Palmyra would furnish an article
for publication in regard to the ad-
vantages of the locality. We have
no desire to favor any one point in
Kansas over another. on the contrary
we believe thus far we have published
ell articles which have been forwarded
to this office in regard to different To-
cations, provided we had list of sub
gcribers at such point.

other States and when they were adj

California was admitted under Pc
culiar and extraordinary eipeumstan-

observe by the Message of the Gov

$50. 900. The taxable property
amounts to between thirty and thirty

DC. the Governor favors a change
from Territorial to a State Govern,
ment. To this end he suggests that
a Convention be called to form Con
stitution f; that an Act be passed foI
the taking of census in April, and

necessary and that if the Constitu-
tion be ''r0tyfed by tie people" at tbs
next October election, it shall be pre-
sented to Congress in December fol
lowing.
These facts furnish an additiona
argument why t.le Constitution shoul,
be submitted to the people, as the ma
jority, preferring territorial govern
ment. and thinking a State govern
meDt premature, may desire to avail
themselves of that opportunity to vot
against any State Constitution what
ever.

EVENING SESSION.

The following resolution was offered
by w. w. Ross -
Resolped, That DR.. Chas. Robin

sons why he resigned the Office of
Governor of the State of Kansas.
Gov. Robinson said he was happy
to have an opportunity to explain

people of Kansas. His business was

M We see by card in another
part of our paper that project is start
Ell to organize an Ep s:opal church
in this city. We are heartily glad
that the Episcopalians of Lawrence arr
making move TO establish a churcl
here, for we are happy to see all chris
tan denominations accomm odated
with the forms of worship, church
government, &C., for which they hold
preferences. Besides, the more church
es we have the less the Sabbath is des-
ecrated, and the higher the moral tone
of society will become. All this and
more too, to say nothing about the
enhancement of the value in real eS-
tate where churches abound. We
wish the project Of building an Epis-
copal Church in Lawrence success.

We were again compelled to delay
the publication of our paper last week
for the want of paper. Our stock ar
rived at Leavenworth too late to get

burned. he forced his way through
the window of his house, aud made
his way to a neighbor,s about half q
