How THE LADIES DRESS IN KANSAS
A Kansas letter writer, who recently
came down the Missouri on the steamer
Omaha, says:
At Atchison we took on young Kan
sas belle, whose only attendant was a
young Missouri blood. The young lady
was apparently dressed in the latest ago
ny Of style and fashion-the ehaste straw
hat-the innumersble hounces and wide
spreading hoops of her gay striped silk
dress, set off her commanding figure very
gracefully. Her statue tall-as Byron
says, hate dumpy woman. But the
richest scene in relation to this young
belle was behind the curtain, and is to
come yet. At Leavenworth our fair one
left us, and. as she was standing on the
bank casting a last. long lingering
look" back, we were tempted to admire
her delicately turned ancles-''who can
resist nicely laced gaiter or peeping
cle?"-when, behold she hadn't any
stockings onl am unable to say what
the fashion is in Kansas-whether it IS
fashionable for ladies to go without hose
or not, but certain am that the finest
dressed one whom L saw in the Territory
didn't use the article.

Why DoHIPHAN COUNTY WENT FREE
STATE.-It will be remembered that in
order to secure the northern counties of
Kansas to the pro-Slavery party, they
were embraced in a Council District with
the county of Doniphan, making the dis
trict extend from the Missouri River to
the Rocky Mountains, being about 900
miles in length to 30 in width. At the
defeat of a scheme 30 we'll laid, they are
of course measurably taken aback, and
the Doniphan Constitutionalist thus in
advertently discloses the secret Of the
failure:
eff the reports from other places in
this county be true, DoniDLan was not
the only place where the ferry boats were
cut loose or damaged so that they could
not run on the day of election. The
sneaking abolitionists are competent to
do any dirty and villainous deed. Ths
triAing and dishonorable act of sending
every boat adrift was in keeping with
their whole career in Kansas. Jim Lane
concocts meanness and his white slaves
execute his orders"

The BoRus Convention Daeuereotyped.

We clip the following graphic descrip-
ton of the VersOnells Of the members Of
the bogus Constitutional Convention from
the Kansas correspondence of the hide
pendent Democrat. Concord; N. II.
These creatures. who have the audacity
to sit and frame a constitution for peo-
pie whom they in no sense represent,
deserve to be held up to the contempt and
ridiculs ofall good men everywhere:
ga more incongrIous mass Of hetero-
genous materials than this said CONVEX
ton it has never been my lot to meet.
do verify believe that If the Messrs.
Fowler Of New York city were to come
out here and take casts OF the heads oil
the delegates, they would make such a
splendid addition to their phrenclogic
museum of "busts of distinguished erimi-
nails" as could beprocured under no 9TH
er circumstances. The low, retresting
foreheads, the red. infamed eyes, the
bullying development of animalism at the
back of the Uranium, eclipse everything l
have heretofore seen or ever again hope to
see. You might rake the purlieus of the
Give Points" ofNew York city to their
very d-egs, but you could fad nothing
whose characteristics of depravity were
more marked than those Of the men who
have usurped the Office Of Lawmakers of
the people Of Kansas.
There was Henderson, of the Leaven-
worth Journal, with face like dogs
snout, smiling for cffal and garbage.
There was Sheriff Jones, with face
like murderer's knife with ahalf-pulled
scabbard,
There wasthe face of Judge Gilmore,
withdrawn Of its good and bALa mere
castated face.
There was the face Of General Calhoun,
like an emetic Of bitter herbs.
Faces so much like snakes you could
hear their sibilant misses.
Faces like trodden worms, beseeching
you to let them wriggle to their holes.
Faces like a tormented conscience,
livid with rage, and purple with the pains
of hell.
Faces like the concentrated essence of
all meanness and all scoundrelism; faces
which struck a chill to your hart like
death.
Such are the faces of some of those who
are to draft State Constitution for the
government of the people Of Kansas.

MODE OF PRoCEEDISG IN MAKING PUR-
cHAsEs OF THE PUBLIC LANDs.-When an
individual applies to the register of q
land district to purchase tract Of land,
be is required to file a written "applica~
ton" On such application the register
endorses his certificate, showing the land
is vacant and subject to entry. That
certificate the applicant carries to the re-
ceiver, and it is the evidence on which
the receiver permits payments to be made.
and issues his Original receipt" the
duplicate of which is handed to the pur-
chaser as his evidence of payment, and
which is required to be surrendered when
q patent is forwarded from the General
Land Office for delivery. The Original
receipt" is handed to the register, who
indicates the sale on his township plat,
enters the same in his tract book. and is
transmitted by the register of the General
Land Office, with the monthly abstract
of sales and certificates of purchase.
This is the formality prescribed to in
dividual purchasers, and must be observed
not only for their protection in securing
titles, but for the protection of the inter-
ests of the government. The law has
established two officers in land district
the register and receiver-and prescribed
a mode of proceeding to serve as a check
upon each other. If a claimant fails to
observe the requirements, he does il al
his peril. If he deposits money with any
person connected with the district Office,
even with receiver, without having first
fled a written application with the regis
ter, lie does so at his own risk, the gov
eminent not being responsible for any
loss where the terms on which the law
authorizes entries are departed from
Wash. Union.

WHEN A LADY MAY WITH PERFECT Pho
PRETTY USE HoRsE WHR.-A lady
named Mary Jane Jewett was recently
driving alone near Brim6eld, Conn,
when scoundrel stepped from the woods,
seized her horse by the head, and COM
mandei her to alight. The only answer
to this request was tremendous cut from
the lady's whip on the horses flank,
which caused the animal to spring for
ward in terror, throwing the BLACKBOARD
to the ground, and dragging the carriage
over his neck. He was badly bruised,
but managed to crawl away.

BLEED UNTIL HE GOT SLEEPT.-A mixed
sssemblage of blacks and whites met in
convention lately at Syracuse, N. Y, to
discuss matters and things in general re-
lating to slavery, Kansas and the colOred
population. Gerrit Smith and Fred
Douglas were the principal speakers
Smith said, according to the New York
Courier, che had done bleeding to the So
ciety. 1t had cost him now over IS, 900,
whereas the Society had only raised
81, 800" He said It was "riding free
horse to death, ;" and he would no longer
stand it; that he had got note after note
discounted last fall for the purpose Of
raising funds for Kansas. and he didn't
know where it had gone, and ne didn't
see that the Society was any better for it.
He said in conclusion, that he had done;
that the Society must help themselves;
that he was tired, disguised, and needed
sleep, and If there was no other question
before ths house, he would declare the
Convention adjourned sine die.

RA great ado is now being made
over the election of Andrew johnson to
the United States Senate, by the Tennes-
see Legislature. His greatest merit seems
to lie in the fact that he could not read
nor write until after he was married, when
he was taught by his wife. His chief
accommodation to the favor Of the party
that elected him, was probably the fact
that he has been in the habit of stigmati-
zing Jesus Christ as a bastard, and his
mother as prostitutel In the Tennessee
Legislature, he termed Christ swindler,
and declared that Democracy was as re-
liable a system of religion as Christianity!

The Democrat, abiding to the flight Of
laboring men from the suspended shops
and factories Of the East to the West, re-
ioices that Kansas, uncontaminated with
negro slavery, may be the refuge Of these
unemployed men. 1t says:
The white laborers of the North and
South viii now see, more clearly than
ever before, how immediate and personal
their interest is, in shutting up our public
domain against the contamination and
ruin Of negro slavery. So long as this
heritage is kept for freemen, it is a refuge
in times Of disaster, and the white men
will not suffer politicians to barter it of
for a mess of pottage.
