Kansas.

Gen. Lane was not shot, as reported.
The repor, is supposed to have origina-
ted from the murder Of Mr.. Latham. It
is supposed that Mr.. Latham was former.
ly a residen. Of this place, and left here
last spring. He was, when here, Ma
tional Democrat, but, like most others,
when he got to Kansas, he became free
State man. His blood cries aloud for
yengence, and We are human enough to
hope that his murdcrers will all be serv-
ed az he was, or worse. When govern
ment fails, wholly, to protect its citizens,
aids in expressing the people, and pro-
tects their murderers, then it is time for
the people to rise in their might and
drive out those who have usurpcd the
rein. of government. Call it revolution
or treason, if you like, it is such treason
as the sgners of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence were guilty Of in 10; it is such
a revolution as will be gloricd over in
1888.
We give below the particulars of the
murder as We find them in our cxchan-
ges:--

Boards and Smooth Chius.

Mr.. Dixon, OF the SulpsI, has rather
pencllant way Of expressing his views of men
and matters. He makes some very clever,
but hard hits, at some overly nice peop'e
who 90 into fits on seeing a large pair Of
whiskers or a muSforhe. III the last number
of his publication he says:
"Why do you allow your beard to grow"
said smooth shaved gentleman, with Il pair
Of light blue eyes, and beautiful red cheeks,
and light blue cravat, and sncer on his lip,
to dark-eyed, swarthv and bronzcd young
man, with glorious beard and superb mus
tache, the eye Of a falcon, and the nostril of
a war-horse, a hard worker at his trade--that
Of printer--and the father Of two children.
"To improve my appearance" said he, ITO
avoid catarrhs, to please my wife, and to save
time. And why do you sllave?"
because it is the custom," replied he.
Il think you are mistaken" replied the
printer, "do you not shave because you fancy
it improves your appearance"
"Why, yes" replied the shaven gentleman,
'that too, Of course is part of the reason"
The printer, like most truly elegant men,
was natural gentleman, and made no fur
ther reply; but he might have said, with
truth, "you have told two falsehoods, and
you are vain man, a coward, saucy man,
and fool. You shave because your beard
is light colored, and you dare not wear it:
you are vain man, because you shave to
make yourself look bctter--therefore you
have told Two lies; you are an ignorant man,
because the color of your beard harmonizes
with that of your eyes, lips and skin, and ne
other would, and you do not know it; and
you are saucy man, because you are igno-
rant and sneered at me- You are continual.
y snuffing with a catarrh in your nose and
you look like baby with your face just
washed by your mamma"
We add to the above two little incidents:
An ancient maiden lady asked us, on a very
short acquaintance, if our mustache and
whiskers (never very large or heavy) did not
trouble us a great deal. The GOODNESS of the
question under the circumstances, compelled
us to answer, "Not half SO much as they do
some other people,"
A minister not long since in this city,
preached asermon against Young men weay-
log the hair on their faces which nature had
placed there. The evening preceding, this
same man had shaved his face and assumed
an artificial appearance He said to God,
virtually, "you have caused hair to grow on
my chin and face don't like the way you
have of doing things. | intend to have
matters as fancy them. l don't want to
appear as you have made me. can make
an improvement on your original plan.
acon't wear the appearance that you intended
me to assume"
The next day after shaving, and by his
actions using the above language, the minis
ter proclaimed Gods perfection, and said it
was the duty of every man to obey his will

The radical error of the whole system,
however, is in this: Mr. Hammond forgets
what is the chief end of American Govern
ment: it is not to protect the rich; it is not
to make of chosen few accomplished gen.
tlement or eminent statesmen. Popular
government has higher uses. It's aim and its
end are to exalt the masses. If we were to
concede-which we could not do-that
restricted suffrage would give us better Off
GERS and better laws-and these for the whole
peope--still we would oppose the restric-
ton. Why1 Because 1t acould not give as
a better people. The exercise Of political
privileges, in making every white man
citizen and freeman, has the tendency to
impart to that man dignity and individual
ty of character, which not only rises him in
his own estimation, but in the respect of 9th
ers: it gives him love for his country-an
interest in his welfare and honor--an intel
ligence of its movements--a stimulus to
qualify himself and to educate his children
for an intelligent participation in political
affairs. He is in fact identified with and be-
comes a part of the government. If many
abuse the trust, or are Indifferent to its cx-
SiClSC, ollll lIOIt IL anu dIc
by it, and it cannot be doubted that in the
aggregate, the body Of patriotism and intel
ligence is greatly enlarged by the extension
of this privilege, and the mass of the popula
ton made better men and better citizens
Accordingly, English travellers have observed
that, while we had no upper class" equal in
cultivation and accomplishments to the Eng
lish arstocracy, yet the masses Of our popu-
lation were beyond all comparison, superior
in all respects, to the masses of the English
or any other people: and to this cause of free
sufi'rage-which produces much of social and
entire political equality---s to be attributed,
in great measure, this result. The electo
raj right then produces "the greatest good
to the greatest number" and thus fultils the
requirements of American Government
The wisest and best form of government is
that which makes the best people-not that
which has the best laws or the best rules
though it remains to beshown that minori-
ty government would give either better laws
for the entire people or better rulers
