The Judicisn.

The administration at Washington can
not be ignorant of the fact, that the Judi
ciary of Kansas is not qualified for the
responsible post now held by the rcspec-
tive appointments. The decisions ofboth
the Judges are constant subjects of rail-
cry by the members of the bar, being so
contradictory, and so clearly in violation
of all precedent. Kansas deserves the best
judiciary in the world-judges who have
pure hands, and can deal justice to all
parties; but we cannot thus compliment
the present occupants of those offices.
If the administration at Washington
wishes to deal fairly with the people of
Kansas, let it remove the murderers
which it is now retaining in the land Of
fees, and give us an entire new set of of
ficials everywhere, save the Governor and
Secretary-and take means to give the
people voice in forming State Consti-
tuition, and soon they will see themselves
released from their Kansas troubles, and
the Central State of the Union on the
highway of prosperity equaled by no other
in the confederacy.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-06-27
Don't Ek5 IL.

Pate, of the Star Of Empire, is evidently
not well pleased with Gov. WALKERS in
augural. In his last issue he says:-
"If the Governor is not misunderstood,
he wants the Convention to submit the
Constitution they make, to all the ''6ona
fae inhabitants of Kansas at the time of
voting. That is nonsense, unless he
means by the term bona tide, those who
are registered. For there can be no other
basis for the Convention to go on, than
the census returns, and the roll of regis
tered voters. To submit the Constitution
to a set of rebels who stoutly denied the
validity of, and are every day multiplying
the law calling it into existence, is doing
what no sensible man considers right or
Just. The Governor, in effect, says to the
abolitionists You should by all means
vote at the coming election; but if you
don't, it makes no manner of matter just
vote on the Constitution, and if YOU are
able, then it is time to kill it Such is
the plain meaning of his address, and sc
the rebels will understand it"
So it seems that nothing short of an lln-
conditional surrender of Kansas to slavery
would please the fire-eaters. We cannot
however, accede to their wishes or cater to
their tastes, so they must make the best
of it if they can. Chevalier Pate will be
compelled to seek some other field il
which to display his military prowess.

How many persons are there in Law
renee who are willing to join in COM
pany to test the practicablity of sinking
an artesian we'll here, for the purpose of
supplying the town with water?
The first well sunk viii be more ex-
pensive than any which will be Ding after
wards. No single individual viii engage
in the enterprise, alone, as it is a mat
ter of public interest at the outset. It
is believed that springs of pure water can
be obtained at the surface, by penetrating
the earth to a distance not exceeding two
or three hundred feet. Establish the fact
that artesian wells are practical in Law
renee, and the question viii be settled for
the Territory, so far as to induce every
other town in the Territory to try the ex-
pertinent. It is believed that the cost OF
such a well will not exceed two or three
hundred dollars. Twenty or thirty bust
ness men, paying ten dollars each, would
meet the expense, establish the fact, and,
if successful, confer lasting and inval-
liable benefit upon Lawrence and its flu
ture prosperity.
Who will improve this suggestion o.
organizing company, and pass around
subscription for the funds, which need
only be paid in as the work progresses?
| 1t is stated that there are gentlemen il
the East who are ready to come here witt
machinery and workmen to prosecute
the enterprise, if their services are de
manded in. that connection.

OfsuInVa.

Mr.. EDITOR Let me, as a new conner
into the Territory speak few words
through your paper 70 my many acquaint-
anees; for my employment, which requires
nae to travel, has made me known 70
Eaany, who, perhaps, would Ike to hear
nay opinion, although it should not be
worded in classical phrase.
/ am now at 0ttumwa, which is
pleasantly situated town at the junction
of Hickory Greek, with the Neosho River.
The plot of the place is upon an elevated
prairie between these two streams, the
banks of both of which are thickly covered
with timber. Coal is found in this i'm
mediate vicinity, and plenty of stone for
building purposes. Good water, too, at
every spot yet tried, has been readily OBJ
tanned at short distance beneath the
surface. The simple facts speak very en-
couragingly for the future of 0ttumwa.
Although commenced this last spring,
there are here now, two stores, an apoth-
ecary's office, and several workshops. A
large steam saw mill is in process of cree
ton, but there are now facilities for get
ting out lumber by horse power. A num-
Der of buildings are under contract
among which are meeting house, (there
is school-house aiready,) and a commo-
dious hotel. A line of stages has just
commenced running between here and
Leavenworth via Lawrence.
The best guarantee of flourishins
future for 0ttumwa, however, consists il
the character of its inhabitants, who, fol
industry, enterprise and morality, vii
lose nothing by comparison with the In
habitants of any town or village in tn,
land of the Puritans. They are. too
good substantial Free State men, with ;
principal-Dr. HAMILTON SNITH--wht
is equally prompt at call of benevOlenc'
or duty, and iIrall respects pre-eminenti,
qualified for the station he occupies.
There are good claims yet in this vicin
ity that arc not taken-come and see TO
yourself, reader. Travelling is both agree
able and healthy, and if you are wha
you had ought to be, honorable and hon
est, you will be sure to here find friends
| expect to travel some more yet over til
Territory, but now think l shall agai
return to Ottumwa. In the meanwhil
you may hear more from me.
Yours truly, II. 5. b.

Post Offices.


The government Will be doing the peo-
pie of Kansas great favor by remodeling
the whole system of P0st routes in the Ter
ritory. To illustrate. a letter put in the
Post Office, for Moneka, will require nearly
two weeks to 60 there. The same in pro-
portion to other places. 1t will probably
so to Independence, Mo-, first, and then
following An old Indian trail, will go on
horseback to various trading posts as far
as Coffachique, on the Neosho. Other
routes are in the same condition. 1t is al
most impossible for the inhabitants of the
Territory to correspond with each other
through the mail, as at present connected.
The people of Emporia and vicinity carry
their own mail by private conveyance
from and to Lawrence. A private mail
of about 100 letters and papers is carried
weekly from Lawrence to Moneka. The
only mail service which is reliable is
from Westport UP the Kansas river in
daily coaches. The mail routes within the
Territory should be made to radiate from
the most active business center and reach
every extremity, at least once a week.
Since it is no longer an object to crush out
the Free State settlers of Kansas, we hope
they will be allowed the common mail
facilities afforded to other communities.

Mr.. DoDswoRrH is doing well in the
book binding and blank book business. It
was apprehcnded he had commenced the
business too soon for the wants of so new
a country, but experience has proven to
the contrary. In three months he will
require the constant service of journey
man, judging from the way business has
increased on his hands. His work will
bear close examination, and viii give
ample satisfaction to all who employ him.
