GREAT EAsrERN.-Some idea may be frv
ed of the immense exertions that are be-,
made to complete the gigantic hull of the Gra
Eastern and its appurtenances when We stat
that there are now no fewer than 100 us
continually employed upon it, and that vr
men are engaged day and night preparing a.
timber and iron word for the launching Grads
The cost for wages and salaries to ariag
laborers and employees in the building-yards h
we understand, reached $4,000 for ont wei
These extraordinary efforts are neceSsary !
order that arrangements shall be completed q
the high Spring tides, it has been defni3
settled that the launch of the Leyiathan Sly
shall take place.

" Throughout the pineries of Wisconsin
they are discharging their hands. Lumber has
not been in so large supply and so dull of sale
since 1850. Improvements in cities and villa

hence the glnt in market The same is true
Of the pineries of Michigan, ard hundreds of

our rejection of them will have the effect OF
defeating the will of the people sought to be
fairly expressed at the polls, Inathe event OF
such consequences, we might hesitate to reject
vote upon any defect of form, however es-
sental in law. But in the present case, we
feel ourselves bound to adhere to the very let
ter Of the law, in order to defeat gross and
palpable fraud. The consideration that our
own party by this decision, will lose the ma
iority in the Legislative Assembly does not
make our duty in the premises less solemn and
imperative. The elective franchise would be
utterly valueless, and free government itself
would receive a deadly blow, if so great an
outrage as this could be shielded under the
cover of more forms, and techncaiities. We
cannot consent, in any manner, to give the
sanction of our respective official positions to
such transaction. Nor can we feel justified
to relieve ourselves of the proper responsible
ties of our Offices, in q case where there is no
valid return, by submitting the questionto the
Legislative Assembly, claiming to be chosen by
this spurious vote, the power to decide upon
their own election.
In view of the condition of affairs in Kan
saS for several years past, of the efforts so long
made to put in operation here revolutionary
government, and of the fact that this effort
was suspended under the belief that the po-
ltical difficulties of this territory might at
length be fairly adjusted at the polls :
if that adjustment should now be defeated and
and the people deprived of their rightful pow
er under the laws Of Congress, by fictitious re-
turns of votes never given, it is our solemn
conviction, that the pacitcation of Kansas,
through the exercise of the elective franchise
would become impracticable, and that civil
war would Immediately be recommended in
this territory, extending, we fear to adjacent
states, and suhjectng the government of the
Union to imminent peril.
Because, therefore. the paper now under eX-
animation is not one of the original poll-books
by law required to be returned, and from the
absence of the oath prescribed by the terrific
rial statutes for the judges of election, the re-
turns being thus clearly invalid, and as we be-
lieve, fictitious and simulated, we have, under
the circumstances no alternative but to reject
the whole return from the Oxford precinct,
and to give the certificates to those whoiappear
to have been elected by virtue of the other
regular returns.

The Hoe CRop-We hear of a sale 200
hogs at 81, within day or two, and yesterday
25O were offered at the same price, but pur-
chaser can't be obtained This is terrible tam
BILE in price, and must disappoint the expecta-
tions of great many persons. But there is
no help for it. There is little money here, or
anywhere, to invest in this way, and farmers
may make up their minds to take even less
than the sum named, or to keep their hogs
over another year. Luckily, the corn crep is
so great that it will not cost SO much as usual
to keep their stock through the winter, and
they may choose to keep them another year

"How?' he asked. flashing quick

I lifted the hair from my temples,

'd FREEM AsoNRr IN RUSSIA The Berlin
correspondent Of the London Times says:
The last great innovation that has-been
made on Russian prejudices and religious
feeling by the reforming spirit of the
pfeseht1 Emperor is the toleratioh accor-
ded by him TO offreemasonary in Russia, q
The society of fresmasons has hitherto
been strictly prohibited from constituting
itself on the soil of Holy Russia; the en-
ployeesi Of the State were always required
to bind themselves never to belong to it,
and the Greek church has an 'anatbema
upon it, i-for more than halfa year." how
ever, lodges have been forming in. the IN
terror of the empires, and entering into
with other lodges in for
eign countries, and there are indications
of different kinds that this phenomenon
in the Russian State is far from unwelcome
to the powers that be. Two results are,
as it would seem, expected from the be-
nevolent workings of this society, Wa
better spirit on the part Of various govern
rnent functionaries, and greater willing
ness to cooperate in the gigantic. task the
government has entered on Of coh1mutiuk
serfdom''ihto a free relation of land owner
and tenant. 1 believe I shall not he far
