"Soft Sawder" from Washington.

The instructions of Gov. Walker of Kanzas are
full, clear and explicit, andin them are quoted the
exact words of Mr. Buchanan's inaugural, that ait
IS the indispensable duty of the government to
cure to every resident nhabitant the free and in
dependent expression of his opinion by his vote ~
In this the cabinet cordially concur. They, and
those who will shortly administer the affairs Of Kan
zas, believe that there is nothing to prevent such
result in the adoption Of state constitution, as
the legislative assembly at their last session repeal
ed that portion Of the election law which required
challenged voter to take the oath to support the
fugitive slave law. Gentlemen who have made per-
sona enquiry relative to this subject have been as
sured that the administration and Mr. Walker will
endeavor to carry out their promise in good faith,
being fully impressed with the Importance of the
result.
They guarantee free suffrage to the settlers, and
they guarantee to the ruffians the enforcement of
their bogus laws. Both things cannot-bc done, and
one party or the other is to be cheated.)

THE PosT OFFICE REGISTRY SYsTEM.-By
paying five cents, person wishing 10 send
money by mall may have his letter registered
at the office of deposit, but this certificate car
rles no guaranty Of safe delivery 10 the proper
person if it goes through safe. Instead of pre-
venting, there is good reason to believe that the
registry system actually facilitates fraud on the
part of post office officials, by pointing out the
letters which contain money. Ia confirmation
of this We have the experience of the New York
Times, which keeps record of all the letters
containing money sent to that Office, including
those which never reach their destination, so
far as they are subsequently, advised of their
having been sent. By a transcript from their
record for the month Of February last, it ap-
pears that two-thirds of all the lost money du-
ring that month was contained in registered let.
ters; and it is added, the same holds good
throughout the year. This certainly exhibits
curious result in a system intended to insure
security, and the abandonment of the registry
plan will naturally follow such an eapose. The
Times, recommends a trial of the English or
der system, as the next resort.-Bosion Jour.

Daniel Webster and Judge Story on the
u. s. Supreme Court.

In O conversation with friend in 1851, upon
the character Of the Bench, Mr. Webster said -
"The time was, sir, when well-read lawyer,
who thoroughly understood his case, could form an
opinion as to its result before the supreme court !;
but not now, sir, not now That court has become
q court of expediency.'
Judge Story, himself member ofthe court, the
predecessor of Judge Curtis, in letter dated April
IL, 1916, said -
''I have been long convinced that the doctrines
and opinions of the old court were losing ground,
and especially those on great constitutional aues-
tons. New men and new opinions have succeed
ed. The doctrines of the constitution, so vital to
the country, which in former times received the
support ofthc whole court, no longer maintain their
ascendency am the last member now living Of
the old court, and cannot consent to remain where
can no longer see those doctrines recognized and
enforced. For the future must be in a dead mi
norty of the court, with the painful alternative of
either expressing an open dissent from the opinions
ofthe court, or, by my silence, seeming to acquicsce
in them.''
The Boston Journal adds this explanation -
'Under the influence Of these views Judge Story
came to the conclusion definitely to resign his seat
in the supreme court, and to fall back on his law
professorshp at Harvard College, q station which
he had occupied for several years and with this
view he returned from his last term of service at
the session of 1916. His death, however, occurred
before he had an opportunity of accomplishing his
design"

Accident on the Illinois Central Railroad

We learn from gentleman who arrived yestcr-
day from La Sale that frightful accident occur
red on Thursday morning on the Illinois Central
Railroad, near La Sale. About o'clock in the
morning, the gravel train. loaded with laborers,
who work along the line, started from La Sale
southwark. The train crossed the bridge all right
and as the engine came on to the embankment on
the other side of the bridge, it all ut once gave
way, and the whole train was precipitated n dis
lance of probably twenty-five feet. Four men
were killed on the spot, and one died few hours
afterwards. Eight others were severely injured,
some with broken legs, arms, &c. The engineer
and fireman escaped with their lives though some
what injured. The marvel is that so many escaped
The heavy rains of last Sunday, along with the
general thaw that ensued, had so softened the en-
bankment that it appeared as soft and as incapable
OF bearing up a train as the softest kind of mud
Whenever the engine came off the bridge il seemed
as If it had fallen over precipice
But disastrous as the occurrence has proven. IL
seems providential that ii is not much more flta!
The passenger train that ought to have passed over
the road at that point on Wednesday night, BY
some trivial accident was delayed, and did not ar
rive at the fatal spot till after the gravel train was
wrecked. AS it was loaded with passengers, boxed
up in close cars, the sacrifice of life that would
have attended its attempt to cross must have heen
Our informant did not learn the names of the
dead and injured. They were all Irishman.- Chi

More "Soft Sawder" About Kansas.

The administration has initiated none of the pro-
ceedings in Kansas, having in view the election of
delegates, previous to the formation of state con-
stitution, but with the determination and desire to
terminate the distracting question Of slavery will
assist in carrying forward the measures which have
been commenced in the territory for that purpose
leaving the people at large, without any reference
to their political divisions to settle it by vote for
themselves. 1t having been repeatedly asked how
Independent suffrage be exercised if the laws
of the territory to be regarded valid, the
ply from the best of information is that the
law providing for the election is a fair one, it ex-
plicty declaring that all free white male citizens
over twenty-one years of age residents of the ter
rtory the LIST of April shall be entitled to vote
for delegates to the constitutional convention
This is to be administered without regard to any
test oaths Governor Walker and his secretary of
state, Mr. Stanton have frequently said their efforts
in accordance with the administration will be to
secure the fair expression Of the opinions of the
people Of Kansas, while they will carefully abstain
from any act which could be construed in favor of
one side or the other. Whatsoever way the citi-
may decide, the administration will be con-
tent. Gov Walker repeats his opinion that Kansas
will be free state.
The president has made the following Kansas
appointments John W. Whitfield, ex-delegate, to
be register, and Daniel Woodson, ex-secretary of
state, to be receiver for the Delaware land district
and Frederick Emory to be register and James p
Downer to be receiver for the western land district.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE. Monday afternoon the
mail train from Concord, when few miles this side
OF that city, had remarkable escape, us follows
countryman with two yoke of oxen, hauling two
large logs one end being loaded upon the cart axle,
had just cleared the track with the cart, the logs
oeing directly across it, rs the train came at full
speed, striking the logs and completely seyerinr
them, and demolishng the cart. The logs were
above eighteen inches in diameter The steps were
all torn from one side of the train. The fireman
leaped from the engine, as did also an engneman
from the Vermont Central Railroad, who happened
to see the danger from the forward end of the mail
car. Both escaped with slight bruises. The logs
were elevated just enough to strike the front of the
engine centrally. Had they been lying upon the
track, as the engine was without u cow-cather, the
train would probably have been thrown from the
track

Several unfortunate members of our community

redress from all governments trading at the port

on the increase Several skirmshes had occurred
between the Mexicans and Indians, and numbers
of both parties were killed. 1t is reported that
Judge Hoppn, James Lucas and two other Amer-
cans had been killed by the Indians near Ell Paso,
and also that James Hubble who had gone to So
nora to purchase mules, was killed by the govern
ment party. A letter from Sonora SAYS that the
people of that state, if they had encouragement,
would declare themselves Independent of Mexico
and ask to be annexed to the United States. The
country is overrun with Indians who are robbing
and numbering the people in every direction.
