L Hi attention OF the community generally. and of
house builders particularly, is invited to the EEY-
STONE HEATER, lately patented by ]. ID. Green
of Philadelphia.
All persons interested are solicited to call at our
store and satisfy themselves of the superiority OF
this Heater over all others in use. So successfully
have the principles of combustion been applied in its
construction, that although IT presents radIating
surface of one hundred apd Gfty squars feet, it re-
quires thirty per cent less coal than any furnace
heretofore manufactured.
Every improvement that an experience of thirty
years In the furnace business could suggest, has
been applied in the production of the keystone
Heater, and its proprietOrs feel assured that for eff
oiency and economy OF use, 4 is unsur rpassed,

ST. LOUIS, Monday, July20.
A gentleman who left Kansas on
Friday says that at a public meeting at
Lawrence, on Thursday, it was deter
mined to resist the United States troops
if an attempt should be made to collect
taxes.
The gentleman met Governor Walker
ten miles from Lawrence, with even
companies of infantry, who said he
would arrange matters peaceably if pos
sible, but would use force if necessary.
Free-State men were hurrying to
Lawrence, and it is said that General
Lane has been sent for.
At the municipal election at Law
renee, on the 18th inst, James Blood
was elected Mayor.
The State Convention finished their
business at Topeka on Thursday.
Marcus ] PARROT was nominated to
Cangress. The convention was very
large, and the utmost unanimity and
enthusiasm prevailed.
The Topeka constitution for 4 State
government was unanimously sustained.
The constitution will be re-submitted to
the people at the August election.
The city government of Lawrence
have not yet passed any acts or done
any business.

A Republican Editor in Ohio
Arrested for ROb5in$ fhe Mail

John Caskey, the editor of the Holmes
County Republican, a violent Republi-
can sheet, has been arrested on charge
of robbing the mail. lie has been in
dicted by the Grand Jury. The follow
in" are the circumstances of the case
Caskey went to the post Office for the
purpose of mailing Il letter with thirty
dollars in money, to be sent to Cincin-
natl He gave the money, letter and
envelope to Mr.. Tidball, the Post master,
to seal up and register. Tidball placed
the money in, scaled the letter and laycd
it down upon his table. He then
turned away to call his son to write Il
receipt, leaving Caskey standing by the
trblc, and when he came back he found
the supposed same letter lying about the
same place. After Caskey had left the
Office, Tidball picked up the letter, and
upon examining it, became suspicious
that there was no mcney in it, or that
it was another letter. lie tore open
the envelop and found that it contained
nothing but a piece of brown paper.
lie Immediately went to Caskey and
demanded an explanation, when the
latter pulled out of his pocket and
handed over the original letter contain
ing the money.-Cfn. Ing.

Judge Lcavftt,s Dccision abroad.

SO far as we have observed, the late
able decision cf Judge Leavitt, in the
Clark County rescue case, meets with
general appreciation. Its doctrines are
everywhere received as legally correct.
With the exception of the Columbus
Journal no Black Republican paper
seems disposed to attack it. The New
York Herald, a Fremont paper says
The decision of Judge Leavitt, in the
contest between the United States Mar
shall in Ohio and the State authorities,
will be found elsewhere, and will repay
3. perusal. 1t will be seen that the Judge
goes very fully into the facts of the case,
and brings out the collision between the
two sets of authorities in a very clear
and striking light. Proceeding from
the facts as gathered and grouped to the
law governing them, the Judge arrives
at. the real question overwhelmingly
Can a law of the United States be
cvaded, because certain citizens do not
like it? 54..-..
This question, of course, the Judge
answers in the negative, and puts the
point very conclusively as-ifevery man
were a law to himself and could choose
what laws he would obey, the result
would be unmitigated anarchy and a
dissolution of the social fabric. He
therefore decides in favor of Marshal
audagaiuts the State authorities.
We are aware that the doctrine on
which this decision is based will be OBJ
noxious to censure from our contempor-
aries of the Times and Tribune. Still,
we apprehehd it will commend itself to
the approval of our people generally
The doctrine of a higher law, which
these. journals vindieate, has not yet
bees put in a shape to command the
sanction of any considerable portion of
: the community. Nor has any decided
desire for anarchy, riot, disorder and a
general convulsion of society yet mani
tested itself among any respectable class
in this nation. Under the circumstan-
ees, therefore, we imagine that Judge
Leavitt''s decision viii be upheld By the
people at large, in spite of any critic
isms which may be made upon it by the
higher law advocates.

Ex.PREstDENT VAN .BUtEN.--Thc
Albany correspondent of the New York
Svcning Post, in noticing the funeral
~obseqdics of tx -Secrctary Marcy, says
The NOW very aged, but scarcely ven
cradle Van Buren, was there, with his
old bright, healthy look, and smiling as
evcr-not solemn oven in the presence
of death, for soleninity seems impossible
for his ever happy face. He does not
whittier than it has been for twenty-five
years. He walked in vigor from the
Capitol, after the ceremonies were over,
to take the cars at the river for his home
in Kinderhook. To-day he looks
younger even than President Pierce,
with whom; side by side, he entered the
Assembly Chamber, from the room OF
the Governor.
