How its Fixed.

The bogu legislature Of Kansas hav ap-
pointed pro-slaveIy census takers, and 80
districted the territory that il renders their
triumph at the constitutional convention elec-
ton certain beyond all doubt. They have
also provided that no person except those en-
rolled by the present census takers, will be
entitled TO vote for members Of the Legisla-
ture at the election in October nex.. Thus
everything is cut and dried for slavery, and
ncr hem man may next expect chief JUS
tice Taney 10 declare Linn not citizen Of the
United States, and therefore not competent to
vote or be vo'e1 for, or sue or to be sued. -

DutY Of thc' 'LcgisIaturc.

We believe i. TO be the duty Of the Ohio
legislature, and the wish of the people, to
take such steps as may be deemed necessary
for the protection Of our cilizens now resident
or who may hereafter settle in X nsas terri
tory and for the mainainance Of the funda-
mental laws of our Government which guar
antee to all citizens equal rights. We be-
lieve the people of Ohio have confidence in
the ability and integrity of Governor Chase,
and would approve the passage OF a law EN- l.
powering him to use money, and, il necessary
men, to meet any emergency which may ar
rise before the convening of another legisla-
tire. Similar action is about to be taken in
Rhode Island Massachusetts, and New York,
and these will be followed by all of the Mr.
thern States The issue is near al hlnd.--
The crisis may come at any moment. and the
North should decide either to take upon
themselves tie yoke of criminal submit son,
or prepare at once for the enforcement Of the
principles which lie at the foundation Of our
government.

DnInocrntic Honesty.

In the course of his speech on the canal
contracts, Senator Buckland introduces the
following specimen of democratic financiering,
which is new to us, and may be SO to our rea-
ders: ..Ir
"In 1899, an examination was male, by
order Of Congress, into the def,lcations Of
Democratic office holders under the Gener-
al Government, which disclosed more corrup-
tien, more stealing from the public treasury,
and more defaulters, in number, than was
ever before discovered, in the same lenth OF
time, in any Governmental the known world
1t was shown conclusively, by correspondence
on file in the Treasury departm' mt, that men
were kept in Office, month after month, and
yenr after year, after the Secretary of the
Treasury knew hey we're defaulters. will
refer you to one instance, which will serve to
give pretty clear idea of the depravity which
pervaded the administration Of the General
Government, at that time. A prominent
Democrat, by the nsme Of Garche, was sent
by the Secretary of the Treasury 10 examine
into the official accounts Of one Gorden G
Boyd, Land Receiver in the State OF Mis-
sissippi. He finds Mr.. Boyd defaulter, in
the sum of S55. .s65, ga His predecessor was
also defsulter. will read the advice,
which this democrat gave to the Secretary OF
the Treasury, in regard to Mr.. Boyd:
"' l am inclined to think, in common with
his friends, that he is honest, and has been
led away from his duty by the example oI
his predecessor, and certain looseness in the
code of morality, which, here does not move
in 80 limited circle as it does with us al
home. Another Receiver would, probably,
follow in the footsteps of the two. You will moi
therefore, be surprised il recommend to you
his being retained, in preference 10 another
appointment; for he has his hands full now,
and will not be disposed to speculate any
more This advice seems 10 have been
followed for time, for Mr.. Boyd was not re-
moved until severel months afterwards
Another Democrat was finally appointed ia
his place, and. as Mr. Gaiche predicted, fol-
lowed in the footsteps of Mr. Boyd. and bis
predecessor. He had been in Office but a
short time, before he, too, was found to be
, using the public money for his private purpo-
ses, and he went out of Office defaulter to a
large amount. There were, undoubtedly
honest Democrats ia the State of Mississippi,
but the Administration did not seem to be
abe to find one Of the sort This state Of
things was not confined to Mississippi :
There was scarcely Land Receiver. OF Col
lector of Customs. in The whole Union, thai
was not defaulter." Some good certainly
came of that exposure, for at the Presiden'
tial election, which took place soon after, the
people sent the whole theiving crew " a XII
