Gov. WALKER.-Immediately after the
adjournment of the Constitutional Con.
vention, Gov Walker started East, os-
tensibly on official business. This move
is made the pretext Of a severe handling
of him, by some of the papers. They say
he has left, to avoid any responsibility in
regard to the vote on the Constitution
Some insinuate that he had made sort
of promise to tie Free State men, that he
would call session of the Legislature,
in order that it might repeal the act call
ing Convention, and thereby kill of the
Constitution. 1t is now predicted that
he will never return, and that Stanton
will soon follow, leaving the Territory in
a perfect uproar. 1t is also said that he
has gone to Washington. to prepare for
engineering the Constitution through
Congress. Perhaps none of them hit the
mark. The Herald of Freedom still de-
tends the Governor. There is evidently
a beautiful fight in prospect, before the
Kansas business is settled.

JusrcE.-We several weeks since sta
ted that David a. Williams, recently of
this place, but who had commenced keep
ing public house in Rulo, Nebraska,
had been arrested on the charge Of stealing
800 from a person stopping with him.
In justice to Mr.. Williams, we win state
that he was arrested without any proof
whatever of his guilt. His house, like
too many of the hotels in this part Of the
country, was without lock sor bolt to
any of the doors, and could be entered at
any time. night orday. Mr.. Williams
had been unwell, and had been lying in
bed, in the room where the trunk was,
from which the money was SAID to have
been stolen. Other persons were also IN
the same room. on the same day. he
was charged with taking the money, and
brought before the Grand Jury, who found
true bill against him, but without any
other proof than that he kept the house
in which the theft was committed. Sew
eral of the Jury refused to sign the bill
Of Indictment. Williams is now at lib
srty, without bail. and expresses his de-
termination to attend Court. and demand
a trial. His accusers seem to be in no
hurry to appear against him Aand will
perhaps drop the matter. The opinion
is beginning to prevail, that the money
either was not stolen, or that some other
person took it.
p. s. We have just learned that the
real thief has been caught, and is now
confined at Fort Leavenworth. The mo-
ney was found on his person. His name
is Boyd, and he is a cousin to the person
of whom the money was stolen. He was
boarding at the house. at the time of the
theft, and he was the principal witness
upon whose testimony Mr.. Williams was
addicted. We learn that his arrest was
not upon charge of stealing this money,
but for robbiug the mail in Iowa.

How Amour THAr SCHOOL HOUSE ?,

How ABOUT That SCHOOL HOUSE p
We have of late heard numerous express
sions Of dissatisfaction in regard to the
School House in this place. Some three
or four hundred dollars were collected for
the purpose Of building 1.-THE house has
been put up, but not finished. 1t is not
vet plastered, and it only requires little
more funds 10 get that done. We were
informed, some time since, that the car
penter who put up the building, has taken
9 lien on it, to secure his pay, but we do
not know how this is. But the greatest
dissatisfaction arises from the rumor that
the house is being built and is to be prin-
cipally used for Church purposes, under
the control of one denomination, while
School has to be held IN the Company
Office. Now, surely, this was not the
object for which the money was solicited.
At that time, we rarely heard Church
mentioned-it was only School House.
The paper was handed to us, and we con-
tributed our mite, to build School house
1t may have been stated that the house
would be used for church purposcs.-and
ne one would object to this-bpt most Of
the money was subscribed, for the purpose
Of building a School house, where the
children of the town might he Taught
At that time, church was but minor
consideration and on that score, but
little. if any. money was subscribed. The
City Company donated lot, for the pur-
pose of erecting School house thereon.
If it be true that the managers are build
ing the house for Church, instead of a
School house. they are assuming an au-
thority never delegated to them by those
who paid the money. This matter should
he determined, before-t gets mixed up so
that legal investigation only can settle
IL. If churches are to be built, no doubt
the people will subscribe money to build
them. But now School house is needed
the people have subscribed money to
build one, and they expect School house
to be built.

FENcISG PRAIRTEs FOR STocK.-A far
mer of Brown County has recently called
our attention to the above subject, and we
think his idea is good one, for various
reasons. The first is the scarcity of tim
Der. But few persons have timber suffi-
cient for fencing purposes, and it is so
costly, that not many farmers can afford
to fence their farms. But every one can
afford to fence, say twenty or thirty acres,
in which to keep their stock. This guam
tity of land is amply sufficient for the
grazing of all stock required on farm.
For crops, they can then take the open
prairie, and cultivate as much ground as
they want, without any additional expense
of fencing. There would have to be a
law enacted, requiring every man to keep
his stock in an enclosure, to prevent it
from destroying the crops of his neigh
bors. This is necessary law in all
plalrle countries, and such law will be
one among the first passed by the first
Legislature of the State of kansas
There is still another consideration in
favor of fencing for stock. When farmers
are done working their cattle, they have
TO turn them out on the prairie to Craze,
when they wander of, sometimes dozen
miles in single night, and it requires
much trouble and great loss of time to
hunt them-in fact, many are never found.
We venture to say, there is scarcely a
man in Kansas, who owes working cat
tie, who does not spend more time in
looking up his cattle, than he does in
working them. This is matter worthy
the attention of all our farmers.

a large majority in favor OF making it q
Free Statess PARROT, the Free State candi-
date for Congress, has large majority.
These results, says the Chicago Times,
have produced a perfect horror among
the rampant abOlitionists. All prospect
Of Kansas becoming Slave State has
petri6ed them with alarm. The contest is
over; the question has been virtually de-
cided, and Kansas shrieks no more. The
Kansas-Nebraska act, which secured to
the people of Kansas, the right to deter
mine the question of slavery for themselves
has been vindicated. The people have
resorted to the polls, and have accom-
plished that which could never have been
done by rebellion. Kansas is at rest--the
means that have produced that lest, the
