The Result.


The booming of cannon from Capitol
Hill and from the Presidents end of the
town, announced the qualifications and lib
arality Of somebody upon the occasion Of
the passage of the Kansas conference bill
If we knew who had won victory, we
could venture . more probable conjecture
than it is now possible to make as to who
stimulated this discharge Of artillery.
One of the worst things about the sue
cess 'ofthis bill, is its tendency to destroy
all confidence in the purity of legislation.
On Wednesday it would have been defea-
ted, and the friends of he Anministra-
tion forced an adjournment because they
saw that defeat was inevitable. On FRI
day, il was carried by the triumphant ma
jority Of nine votes, with the Speaker and
two Democratic impaired absentecs in re-
serve. The thing varied in its aspect, as
to the probability of success, from day to
day. All the while, the measure itself
remained identically the same. 1t is as
impossible to doubt as it may be difficult
to prove, that the uncertain conduct of sew
eral members grew out of pendency and
changing aspects of negotiations for Execu-
tive rewards.
The bill SO passed, that while it docs not
submit the Lecompton Constitution to the
people of Kansas, does submit the fate of
it to them, and the difference between
the two things, is only the difference be-
tween tweedledum and tweedledee. So
far the Administration is distinctly defea-
ted.
If its defenders shall, at any time, un-
dertake to arroe any merit to them
selves for this part of the conference bill,
it should always be borne in mind that the
Administration endeavorcd for five months
to forco Lecem pton through Congress,
pure and simple, or, as Mr.. Buchanan
phrased it "naked," and they yielded what
they have yielded to the people Of Kansas,
only on the dirsst compulsion. So far as
any option is secured to Kansas in the m at.
ter Of her Constitution. it has been secured
to her by the perseverance and steady
front of the opponents Of the Administra.
ton.
The objection to this bill s, not that il
does not submit the fate of the Lecomp-
ton Constitution to the people of Kansas,
but that it makes the submission with such
attendant circumstances of menance of ex.
clusion from the Union. and the bribery
of land grants, as to impair real freedom
Of choice; that it places the machinery
of getting at the will of tie pcorle Of
Kansas in hands not deserving of confidence,
and that it insults the free States, by re.
quiring more population for free State,
than for a slave State.
The Democrats caucusscd on Friday eve-
ming for the purpose, as is understood,
Of raising money to carry the election in
Kasnsas, which is to decide the fate of Le-
nnnrntnn Thew, ranar1 .Sroon, IN ,h;s nlen-
tion as most vital to their party prospects,
and to insure it, will omit no honest, and
we greatly fear no dishonest efforts.

10000 Indians on the PIair s-Detcrmin-
ed HOstIIItles against the Whites

ed Hostiltties against the Whites
COL. A. McKissick. agent for the Witch
ita Indians, and Woods B. Roggcrs, of
tho Albuquesque expedition, arrived to- day,
and We learn from them, that in conse.
quence Of the hostilities of the wild Indians
and advices of friendly Indians, the COM
pany for Albuquerque reluctantly aban-
doned the expedition.
Jesse Chisholm, half-blood Cherokee,
who has been trading with tho Camanches
for twenty years, started a few weeks ago
with goods on trading expedition to the
Camanche Nation, and after travelling sew
eral days, was met by a company Of friend
ly Indians who had bocn to the place
where all the wild tribes had assembled,
and had talk with them, and they ad-
viscd him TO return Immediately, which he
did, as the wild Indians arc very hostile.
They told tho friendly Indians that
the great chief out West, had sent del
egation, who had told them that this great
chief was 10 make wal on the people of
the United States, and that he was able
to poison the whole atmosphere and kill
the whites off by thousands. Tho wild
tribes knowing that tho troops have bcoil
withdrawn, are congregated near the An
telope Hills, along the head waters of tho
Canadian and Red rivers, preparing for a
descent on the fontiers, This is moyo
Of Brigham Young to draw off the United
States troops from Utah 10 protect the from
tier States.
The Indians on the reserve with Maj.
Neighbors have all joined the wild bands on
the Plains. Near Fort Belknap, they
have killed some of tho frontier settlers
and stolen number of horses. Maj. Neigh
bors had raised company of whites and
friendly Indians to pursue them. -
Chisholm demonstrated with the Albuq-
uerquc company about going on the cx-
pedition, as it was next 10 impossible TO
! ct through the multitude of Indians be.
tween Arbuckle and Albuquerque. Their
camps and lodges extend for $50 to 20G
miles. The Delawares, Shawnecs, and
other friendly Indians, also advised the
company to return. The settlers appre-
hended trouble from these wild tribes,
and the Kickapoo Indians are at Fort Ar.
buckle, intending to protect the public
property there. In the neighborhood of
Arbuckle there is great CONSERVATION, and
the people live in constant fear, as there
never has before B,cn such a large col
lection Of hostile Indians in the ncighbor-
hood.
Chisholm has sent out runner, while
tn, Albuquerque company was there, to
ascertain the true state of affairs, and tho
messenger brought in Kccchi chief, who
informed him that it was fact that all the
wild Indiansl were combind, that war was
their determination. Delawares arrived at
Fort Arbuckle week last Tuesday, who
otos>u t'iss ~-.f
cd several on the Texas frontier.
War parties were prowling about be-
tween Fort Arbuckle and Fort Belknap,
stealing the horses and killing tho whites
and friendly Ipdians. =.

OUTSIDE CRIrIcIsM.-Very few men
seem TO think that their work, the opera
tions of the farm, the arrangement Of the
grounds, the manner of building fence, or
preparing the ground for crop, is a sub
ject for common criticism. Yet it is so,
and the veriest town snob will have his say,
and express his delight or disgust rs he
rides past fields with all your transactions,
and the general effect. And, farmer, this
effect establishes your reputation abroad, in
town, behind counters, in parlors, among
buyers and sellers--it either attracts or
repels. 1t is positive or negative mag
net. The farmer is an architect as well
as artist. He builds his own reputation

How TO EAT WIsELY.--Dr. Hall, il

How TO EAT WIsELY.--Dr. Hall, in
his journal, gives the following advice: =
l.. Never sit down TO table with an
anxious or disturbing mind; better hun !.
dred times intermit that meal for thefo
viii then be that much more food in tho
world for hungrier stomachs than yours;
and besides, eating under such cireumstan-:
ces only, and will always proIong and e
grsvate the condition of things.
2. Never sit down to meal after any
intense mental effort, for physical and men
tai injury arc inevitable, and no man bas
right to deliberately injurc body, mind,
or estate.
8. Never 90 to full table during bodi-
ly exhaustion designated by somo one as
being worn out, tired to death, used up,
done over, and the like. The wsest thing
you can do under circumstance is, to take
a cracker and a cup of warm tea, either
black or green, and no more. IN ten mi
nutcs you will find degree of freshness
and liveliness which will be pleasantly sur
prising to you; not Of tho transient kind
which glass of liquor affords, but pcrma-
nent; for the tea gives present stimulus
and little strength, and before it. sub
sides, nutrimcnt, begins 20 be drawn from
the sugar and cream and bread, tiiSs allow
ing the body gradually, and by safe az
gree, TO regain its usual vigor. Then in
couple Of hours youmay take full meal,
pryided it docs not bring it later than two
hours before sun down; if later, then take
nothing for that day in addition. to tho
cracker and tea, and the next day you
will feel freshness and vigor not recently
known.
No reader will require to be advised
second time, who will lmake trial as. a.
bove; while it is d fact Of no unusual OBJ
scr,ation, among intelligent physicians,
that eating heartily, and under bodily ex-'
baustion, is not unfrequently the cause of
alarming and painful illness, and somo-,
times sudden death. These things being
SO, let every family make it point to as

feelings, with cheerful humor, and o copri
teops spirit; and Jet the member bo sent

silence, or impatient look, or angry tone,
or complaining tongue. Eat with thankful
gladness, or away with ycu TO the kitchen,

tom Of having buffe on. or music at tho

EXCLUDING THE BIBLE FROM SCHOOLS

EXCLUDING THE BIBLE FROM Schools
We note considerable surprise expressed in
the columns of our distant cotemporaries
at the late vote of the School officers Of
our Fourth Ward excluding the Bible from
their Ward Schools. Our own notion is
that it was an act of justice to the Bible
for which those who revere that book shod
be deeply grately. About every fourth
dwelling in the Fourth Ward is either a
grog shop, gaming house or brothel; ma
ny of them are two Of these rolled into
one and some are all three. AT least
half tho voters of this Ward are residents
of grog-shops, or brothels, or both; and
these institutions are rather lower, filthier
and more revolving than similar dens al
most anywhere else. There arc about p
900 legal voters in the Fourth Ward, and
they pollej 9,637 votes at our last election,
of which, Fernando Wood had 2,ll2.-
Of course, the Ward officers elected are
all Jealous Wood men. II the great ma
jority of the people of the Fourth Ward
saw fit to live with any sort of respect to
the precepts of the Bible, it would be very
well to keep the sacred volume in their
schools; but, as the case is, they do well
to kick it out. There is no other course
among those which they are at all inclined
to pursue which would do the Book so
much credit.-[N. Y. Tribune.

The Spring.

Loi where the rosy -bosom'd Hours,
Fair Venus train, appear,
Disclose the long-expecting flowers,
And wake the purple yearl
The Attic warbler pours her throat,
Responsive to the cukoo's note,
The untaught harmony OF spring;
While. whispering pleasure a. they ny,
Cool Zephyrs through the clear blue sky
There gather'd fragrance hing.
where'er the oaks thick branches stretch
A broader browner shade,
Where'er the rude and moss-grown beech
Ger canopies the glade,
Beside some waters rushy brink
With me the Music shall sit, and think
(At ease reclined in rustic state)
How vain the ardour Of the crowd.
How low how little ale the proud,
How indigmdnt the great
Still is the toiling hsnd Of Care;
Tn, painting herds repose:
Yet bark, how through the Psopled air
The insect youth are on the winS.
Eager to taste the houied spring.
And float amid the liquid moon:
Some lightly oer the current skim,
Some show their gayly Sided trim
Quick -glancing to the sun.
To contemplation's sober eye
Such is the race OF Man;
And .hey that creep, and they that hy,
Shall en- where they began.
Alike the Busy and the Gay
But futteI through life's little day.
In fortunes varying colours brest:
Brush'd by the hand of rough Mischauce,
Or child by Age, their airy dance
They leave, n Gust to rest. D..
Methinks hear In accents low,
The sportive kind reply;
Poor moralist! and what art thoui
A solitary ayi
Thy joys no glittering female meets,
No hive hast thou of boarded sweets,
No painte plumage to display;
On hasty wings thv youth IL flown;
Thy sun is set thy spring Is gone
We frolic while It's May.

Coaxing Douglas Back.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald has the following:
The discussion in the Senate to-day on
the Oregon bill is important, as showing
that Judge Douglas has no intention of
joining the Republicans on any other sub
ject than the Kansas bill; and that meas
ure having now been disposed Of by Con-
gress, be considers it his duty to acquicsce.
He will not, therefore, be found acting
with Walker and Stanton in their Kansas
crusade. He states explicitly that no per-
sonal feelings shall interpose to prevent his
sustaining all those measures of foreign
and domestic policy with which he has
heretofore been identified and Mr.. Buchan-
an is pledged to carry out. The Admin
istration, having triumphed, can afford to
act generously, and there is no reason why
a reconciliation should not be had, as Judge
Douglas sedulously abstained from making
any personal reflections on the President.
