Conservatives Gaining Strength.

The number of conservative Free State
journals in the Territory are multiplying.
The Topeka Tribune, from being one of the
most crazy eating journals in the Ter
ritory, and bent upon nothing only to
resist everything practical, has become, in
the hands of its new editors, an honest,
faithful journal, strongly Free State, and
desiring no other party until Kansas is
fairly out of the woods. We account for
this on the hypothesis that Mr.. CUMMINGS,
its new proprietor, came to Kansas early
in the spring of 1856, was present at the
organization of the Free State party, and
remembers the pledge then made to
maintain our organization until Kansas
was Free State.
The GrasShopper has given place to the
Crescent, at Grasshopper Falls, and with
its new editor, it is readable, intelligent
and interesting paper. The Grasshopper
was disposed to be right, but somehow the
EDITORS prejudices were in the wrong di.
rection.
: The Palermo Leader is a new paper,
but is straightforward, and dares speak
right out in favor of maintaining our old
party organizations.
The Leavenworth Ledger and White
Cloud Chief have always been on the right
track.
The only ertrems papers now, ara the
Leavenworth Times, Lawrence Republican,
and Emporia Ne,cs. The latter has some
what improved during the last few
months.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In reply to the inquiry
of Mr.. "Mal- feasance, "-"by what author
ity does the County Clerk charge thirty
five cents for every county order that he
issues ?''-I have to say that / have never
charged, or thought of charging, ons cent
for issuing county orders or warrants. On
the contrary, for the purpose of accommO-
dation, ! have. when requested in time 20
to do, drawn orders in sums TO suit, and
in almost every instance Of demand
against the county, have, for the same
drawn off accounts in form, all
without charge.
The law requires all accounts against
the county, to be receipted by affidavit
where it can be done before any officer
authorized to administer an oath. When
applied to, / have attended to this busi-
ness, making the usual charge. This has
no connection with issuing county orders.

Tic importance 70 the people," let the dis
organizers Of both parties remember that
our many wants demand cooperation to
reach the ear Of Congress. In this re-
spect, as we are yet Territory, it is q
matter Of the first Importance to show q
union of purpose. Though we may hope
sincerely that all difficulties of local ma
turs are past yet as we do not indepen-
IDENTIFY possess the power Of protecting our
own interests, the emergency Of single
day may demand our united energies.-
This sentiment already pervades the whole
people Of Kansas. and let no party think
that it will gain BY organizing first, until
Kansas becomes State. The party which
takes this unwary step should know that
among its adversaries will be found Free
State men Of little sympathy, who cannot
agree with it in the necessity Of politi-
cal organization. It will find that its or.
ganization a. q political party first, win
give the opposing element chance to

We would again inquire, why are
the journals Of the proceedings Of the
last Legislature Of this State withheld
from the peoples 1t was the duty Of
the State printer to distribute them a
long time since. They contain facts
which the people and tar payers should
know. They contain proofs Of charges
which we have brought against the
Republican party Of Iowa. The people
from whose pockets every dollar Of the
moneys which have been stolen and
extravagantIy appropriated, has been
taken, have a right to knowledge Of
the men who are guilty.
We suppose that the proposition Of
the "long heads" is to keep them hack
from the people until after election ;
but we are entitled to them now
and we demand them at the hands OF
the republican authorities Of this State

We have the following additional
particulars regarding the late murder
in Jones Co., mention of which was
made in our issue Of yesterday.

other hired man named Clancy, had
gone to work some distance from Kin.

Moloney, we understand, relative of
Kinneally's. While at dinner in his
house, Peudergrast made the remark
while in liquor, that he would give no
thing for Klnneally's oath. Wo1ds en-
sued, but the lady Of the house inter
fered and stopped the difficulty. All
three then went back in the evening to
Kinneally's house. While at supper
Pendergrast used some annoying or in
sulting words to Kinnoally 10 regard to
