THE CoNNEcTIcUT COLONY IN KANSAS
The New Haven Journal says that a letter from
Waubonsee, Kansas. states that during the late
canvass both candidates for Congress visited the
place. Parrot, the Free State candidate. came
first and after hearing him, the people voted
that they would vote unanimously for him after
wards, Ransom, the Sham candidate. came
They also heard him. and again voted to cast a
unanimous vote for Parrot. On election day
they did as they said they would throwing in
the precinct, 100 votes for The Free State ticket,
and not one for the Pro Slavery Democracy.
Waubonsee itself cast 76 votes, and would have
cast more were it not for the restriction requir-

W An editor Of one Of the Vermont papers
says: There is but one city in this State and not

been committed in this State within the last ten
years. We have no museums or crystal palaces"

we are most consumedly anxious TO know what
you hare got in Vermont' 1t must be terrible
dull place We can believe that there is only one
city, for suppose there is not level land enough
to locate another, but-no murder in ten years!
We don't think we chn quite swallow that. Trim

In Vermont we have men who have been ac-
customed to labor for their living from their
earliest youth. They have been educated 10
wait upon themselves and not depend upon the
~G.ns nc servants They have heen trained Ia
obey and reverence the laws OF the land. In
their mems estate they own the farms they till
and till the farms they own. Deprived of the
genial climate and fertile soil OF Alabama, and
bound to country where daily labor is the
price Of daily bread they have no time to in
dulee in such paslimes as murders, duels and
street fights. If our contemporary will come
up hther and see the Green Mountain Boys hi
will find an Industrious, peaceful, happy people
men who are not given to fight, but who if insul
ted will like the old Quaker lay aside their peace
garments, give their assailants "Jessie" ant
then resume their business as if nothing at al

Vermont Judiciary,

The Legislature Of 1885 passed bill re-
modelling our Judiciary system, and placing it
substantially upon the ground it occupied pre-
vious to is49. The present circuit courts and
circuits were abolished. The nisi prius courts
are now to be held by one of the six Judges Of
the Supreme Court as they may DETERMINE
This system is believed on the whole to present
the fewest objections Of any ever tried. 1t has
prevailed in England for centuries, was adopt
cd by the United States in the organization of
it's coul,s and has been copied in nearly every
state. In practice il works admirably inasmuch
as il gives each Judge an opportunity of be-
coming practically acquainted with the facts in
every case, thus keeping them from rusting out
in an entire devotion 10 the abstruse theories OF
mere techncalities and musty decisions. I'm
der this system Vermont has added bright
page to the calandar Of eminent jurists, contain
ing names that will ever ne illustrious memo
ries that will ever be green.
On Wednesday the Legislature elected the
following gentlemen 10 compose the Judiciary
of Vermont under the law of 1855 ISAAC +.
REDFIELD, of Windsor Chief Judge MILO L.
BENNETT of Burlington, LUKE P. POLAND oil
ST. Johnsbury, ASA o. Adds Of ST. Adams
JOHN PIERPoINT Of Vergennes, and JAMES BAR
RErT of Woodstock, Associate Judges.
Measrs Redfeld and Bennett have occupied
the same places on the Supreme Court bencl
as heretofore constituted. Mr. Poland has dis
charged the duties of Circuit Judge for severa
years with great acceptance. The others arr
new men, but abuHdas,ly qualified for thei
new positions. Judge isham declined being
candidate for re-election. Mr.. Lucus B. Peel
of Montpelier, could have had seat upon tn
bench, hut he declined the honor.

1t is an undeniable fact thai President Buchan-
an is getting into very awkward and uncomior-
table position in relation to the Kansas question.
Some of our contemporaries, we see, ara urging
him "to press straight onward with unwavering
"firmness, regardless of the anthemas Of politi-
''cans," and they promise him in this way an
easy escape from all his difficulties. But is there
not in this advice good deal Of concealed satirel
To speak of the Presidents coward course"
and "unwayering firmness," is rather back
handed compliment, when everybody knows that
the whole aim and effort OF the President has
been TO pursue a noncommitial course, such as
would allow him TO pass at the South as the friend
of Slavery Extension. and al the North as the
friend Of Free Labor. So far from the Presi-
dents psrsuing an onward course, he seems At
last to have run out the fu length of his rope.
He can no longer sustain the Border Ruiiian
usurpation in Kansas or the plea, set up in his
| New Haven letter, that he must take things as
he found them, and that for what had been done
in President Pierce's time he could nj be held
responsible. lie is now brought directly to the
point Of allowing the people Of Kansas to choose
their own legislators. or Of forcing them To sub
NIT to new fraud, Walker must either be sus.
tanned, or he must be repudiatcd The sort OF
middle course which some of the teegraphic dis
patches from Washington are marking out for
the President, the reprmandng Walker but still
keeping him in Office, will not answer. What
he may do with Walker is Of no sort of conse
quence except as it bears on the question, Does
he recognize those to whom Walker has given
certificates. or does he intend to uphold the DO

Kansas. Governor Walkers Proclamation

On our first page we publish the pr0clama-
tion Of Governor Walker and Secretary Stan
ton, in which they give their reasons for throw
ing out the votes of Oxford Precinct in John
son County. The poll lis, was As feet lung
and contained about 1900 names for the pro.
slavery ticket, nearly all Of which were copied
alphabetically from the Cincinnati Directory Of
1855. That precinct did not cun,ain one hun
dred actual voters. Since then the return Of
1900 democratic voters in MCGEE County has
shared the same fate.'
These are but average sampled Of the way
in which the democratic poll lists have been
made mp at every election in Kansas. 1t is by
such frauds as these that the Free Starc men
have been cheated out of their rights by the de-
mocracy. In rejecting such returns many of
the most influential administration papers in the
country denounce the Governor and Secretary
and demand their recall by the President
They openly side with bordet-ruffianism as has
the party, in effect for more than three years.
This course on their part proves nconlroveriibly
the position we then assumed that the Kansas
Nebraska bill was originated and sustained for
the purpose Of making Kansas a Slave State.
If it becomes such, and we think il will, it will
be in spite Of the persistent efforts of the de-
inocracy.
We are anxious 10 see what position the dem
ocratic papers of Vermont will assume relative
to this last "Shrek from Kansas They
apologized for the first territorial legislature,
elected as it was by fraud and sustained by
blood, by saying that Reeder, the then Cover
nor, gave them certificates of election, thus

One of the effects of the present commercial
crisis is an ebb in the hitherto huwing tide of en-
igraton To see ship laden with emigranls
from America to Ireland is novel sight. On
Saturday last the clipper ship Dreadnought
sailed from New York for Liverpool, with three
hundred and forty passengers, the largest num-
her ever taken in a sailing vessel from this coun-
try to Europe. Most of these are destined Cor
Ireland. Up 10 the present time The emigration

But the news of commercial and manufacturing
