Gresley's $1,000 Bride /:

The Border Ruf6an Journal of this city has de-
voted seven of its valuable columns recently to the
Congressional Corruption case, not on account
of the enormity of any crime connected Herewith,
Tits conscience is not so sensitive as that) but
because it can, with little maneuvering, drag
some Republicans into the scrape. We have no
desire to screen bribery or villainy in any form,
anywhere, and we shall protect it no whit the
sooner because committed by our own party or
kindred. But ths Border Ruf6an's lies have so
long gone unrebuked that it grows holder, and
yesterday proclaimed to its readers that Horace
Greeley had been caught at and proved guilty OF

The facts with respect to the 81 900 paid to Mr..
Greeley by the Des Moines Navigation and Rail-
road Company, are as follows. Mr.. Greeley was
at Washington, where some of the Company were
looking after their interests before Congress-
Just as he was leaving, one of them handed Mr..
Greeley draft for 81 200, asking him if he would
take it and honor their draft at New York for
that amount. Mr.'Greeley, supposing it 6nan'
cial accommodation, said he would. But subse-
quently concluding that it was intended as COM
pensation for services which they might ask, int-
mated to them that they could get their money
when they wanted it, and it was drawn out of his
hands. And that was all Is such conduct very

No Compromise!

We learn that Compromise was entered into
on the part of the beligerents of the Council on
Wednesday, to take effect yesterday morning,
whereby the Capital question was to be dropped
and important bills put upon their passage; but
the Honorable gentleman from Winona sought to
either back out or violate the agreement, and
consequently the wheels of legislation have again
been blocked. There is now no probability Of the
Council transacting any further business during
the session. Let it be remembered that the whole
of this difficulty is attributable to those who have
persisted in forcing upon the Legislature. against
the wishes of the people, this removal question.
They refused to leave the matter to a vote of the
people-they refused to listen to the Press-now
let them bear the responsibility.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9

The Legislative, Executive and Judicial bill
was called up. Mr.. Tappan moved to strike
out $4,000 compensation to Kansas Legislature.
Mr.. Whitfield replied, that this money was to
pay members to be elected in future. The people
of Kansas having been economical, there was
enough funds from the appropriation under the
organic law to pay the members of the present
Legislature.
Mr.. Washburn, of Maine, took the ground,
If the House vote this appropriation they would
stultify themselves, and in effect declare the Leg
islature legal contrary to their former expressed
opinion.
Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, while reiterating bis
belief that the Legislature of Kansas was fraud
which he condemned as much as any man, re-
marked that the appropriation now pending was
for the expenses of future members. ~

Messrs. Editors IL learn by pro-slavsry man
just from Lecompton, that the last final effort to
make Kansas a slave State, will soon be made
The triggers are all set, and they are confident
of success. The plan is, to be all law aud order
men-have this Legislature allow none to vote
who have not been in the Territory ninety days,
and fix the election ninety days from the 18th or
10th of February, so as to prevent the Free State
emigration next spring from voting. In the mean
time every member of the Blue Lodge in Missouri
is to send over one citizen, and get his neighbors
to send one, who are to 60 over before navigation
opens, get Claims, hold prescriptions away from
the Free State Settlers, and have them entered
BY Southern companies, and then elect pro-sla-
very Convention and return. They threaten es-
pecially to keep the Yankees out Of the Shawnee
Reserve. They are building towns there. and
numbers are daily coming over. Gov. Geary tells
them if thev srample ON justice, it must be- over
his dead body. They are devising some scheme
to get HIM out Of the way. Whether they will
urge Buchanan to remove him, or get some worth
less scamp to massacre him, is not yet determin-
ed. Pistols are carried for him. The Ruaians
threaten to open the ball again n the spring. If
they do, they will find it an uphill business.

into tho United States in 1854, and has been cul-

numerous instances the results have proved high

10 feet in the 45th parallel of latitude, and has
matured its seeds in various points in Massachu-

DESCRIPTION AND HABIT OF GROWTH.
When cultivated in ordinary land, somewhat
after the manner of broom-corn, it grows to
the same height its stems are straight and
smooth, and put forth at the top conial panicle
of dense flowers, green at first, but generally
changing into dark purple at maturity. Each
panicle will produce one gill of seed, and one
quart of seed is sufficient to plant an acre of
ground.
CULTIVATION.
The Chinese Sugar Cane has proved itself we'll
adapted to our geographical range of Indian Corn
it should be cultivated the same, either in hills
of or 6 stalks or in drills four feet apart and
one foot between the plants-care should be OBJ
served not to cultivate this plant in the vicinity
of any kind of corn, as it mixes freely with those
plants, which would render the seed unit for
planting.
When cultivated for syrup the plants should be
cut before the seed is ripe.
1t is particularly requested that those who
cultivate the Chinese Sugar Cane, plant at least
portion of the seed at an early period, that the
seed may ripen. P. P. FURBER.
