claring that large number of members of this

INCREASE OF PAY.-We are glad to see that the
General Assembly of this State has voted to allow
the members something like reasonable compensa-
ton for their labours Under the old law each men,
Der received three dollars day for sixty days, after
which they we're entitled to only one dollar. The
consequence was that the Legislature generally ad-
journed after session of two MONTHS whether they
got through with the business not, since they
could not afford to work for so small an amount.
We had feared that many important matters would
have been passed this session for that reason
But since they are now we'll paid, we presume We
shall have quite long session. and that considera-
bic amount of work will be performed.
1t is impossible to live decently in jefferson City
for three dollars day. Five dollars little enough,
and we believe that the people generally will APP
prove of the increase. It was delicate matter in
tie members to increase their own wages but we are
glad to that it did not deter them from doing SO.

Further from Kansas.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. give have further advices
from Kansas in aelation to the attack upon Governor
Geary. 1t appears that Sherrod was candidate for
sheriff of Douglas county, but that the adrotness Of
Gov. Geary's private secretary prevented him from
securing the office. Sherrod was, in consequence,
~ he dealt him several severe blows, telling him to
the ground. No steps being taken to resent this in
suit, Sherrod soon after approached the Governor
hpscf and shook his fist in his face and denounced
him with oaths
There is no confirmation of the rumor of Sherrod
having been shot, but the settlers about to take
immediate measures to inaict punishment. Should
the Legislature take sides with Sherrod, it is feared
there will be a renewal Of hostilites between pro-
slavery and free State parties.
