The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-02-13

Nearly all the acts of general nature,
pending in the Legislature, were reserved
until the last days of the session; and on
Friday were hurried through with break
neck speed. We had purposed publish
ing them as they were finished up; bn. to
do so, will be to fill dozen papers like
ours with them. We shall select the
most important ones, and publish them at
leisure. The Legislature, though tardy
during the first part of the session, has
made ample atonement during the last
few days. Their acts have now to be
submitted to the bar of public opinion.
What the verdict shall be, remains to be
seen. A large majority of the members
have been actuated by an earnest desire
to conserve the public interest," though we
are frank to admit, that their legislation in
some respects, gives indications of q
desire to look after their own interests.
Atanother time, when We have sufficient
leisure, it is probable we shall review
some OF their acts, in the spirit, however,
Of tolerance, and with desire to serve the
best interests of the public.

A Aquarrel sprang up in liquor saloon
in Tecumseh two weeks ago, when a man
by the name of KERR was set upon by
Adams and another man by the name of
Hon, we believe. The latter struck
Kerr over the head, when E. fell against
the counter. Adams then drew his re-
volver and shot Kerr through the liver.
DR.. Huston extracted the ball, which he
found lodged near the kidney. The peo-
pie became greatly excited, arrested
Adams, and determined to hang him
upon the spot. A jury of twenty-four
men were selected, who heard the case,
and decided that Adams should hang as
soon as Kerr should die. He was passed
over to the civil authorities to await the
result. On Thursday morning last Kerr
died. Friday morning the people were
greatly excited, and were rushing in from
all parts of the country to be present to
endorse the execution, which was to take
place yesterday. No doubt Adams has
paid the penalty of his crime with his
life.
Adams was the man who Ruddle shot
In the thigh last Spring, the former being
engaged at the time in the pleasant past
time of stoning him.

Kansas Climate.


Nothing can exceed the beauty and
comfort of Kansas winters. We are so
unused to such climate, that we can
hardly make ourselves believe that it is
winter The brilliancy of the sun BY
day, and the bright moonlight nights
the heavens clear as crystal-the luried
fires running on the prairies by night
all have the appearance of September in
Illinois or Wisconsin. The frost during
the night forms thin crust over the sur
face of small pools of water, and our
small streams have not, this season, been
clothed with an icy mantle, nor has the
ground been frozen enough to Withstand
the rays of the sun. Mechanics have
found but very few days that they could
not work upon the outside of their frames.
At this writing the sound of the hammer
is heard around us, and "he-o-heaye"
greet Our ears. Notwithstanding the scar
city of money and the hard times, prepa-
rations are being made for extensive build
ing the coming spring snd summer, and
we are confident that our town will 60
ahead faster than it ever has. The nu-
merous farmers settled in this vicinity are
fixing up" more comfortable-the favor
able season being very much to their ad-
vantage and comfort, as many were with
out comfortable houses in the fall.-Ot-

Ths Progrssz Of rrasdom

A few short months since, Rev. Pardee
Butler was seized by gang of lawless
citizens of the town of AtchisoD, stripped
of his clothing, tarred and feathered, put
on raft and sent helplessly down the
wild Missouri; and for what ? merely be-
cause he respectfully, quietly, but firmly,
claimed the right Of free speech. After
these Atchison fiends had thus turned that
noble man helplessly adrift on what they
hoped would prove his watery grave, he
foated on few miles and effected land
ing in the forest on the very spot where
the hourishing town of Sumner now
stands; on the very spot where the fol-
lowing notice tells that the sons of the
prairie have planted free speech, free
dom of conscience, and freedom to wor-
ship God:
NOTICE. Rev. Pardee Butler will
preach at Sumner, in Massachusetts Hall,
on Friday and Saturday evening next,
and on the Sunday following.
Sumner, Jan. 20, 1858.
Little did these bowling fends of Atch-
ison think that their victim would safely
land only five miles below, and in few
months be listened to by the hardy sons
of freedom on the very spot where he
was so fortunate as to -Osouatonaie
