LECOmPTON AGAIN,

We had hoped this abomination was
dead, and believed it was; but foolish and
wicked attempt has been made to resurrcct
its foul carcass, and galvanize it once moro
into life by the aid of treasury pap. Eng.
lish of Indiana and Hall of our own district
1--WE write it with shame) have gone over to
tho enemy. They, with the aid of a confer
ence committee, have patched up meaner
measure than Lecompton itself. 1t propos-
es that if the people of Kansas will take
tho Lecompton puko they shall have several
millions Of acres of public land to sweeten
the dose. But if they won't take it, then
they shall stay out of the Union till they
have population enough to ontitle them to
one representative, which would be about
$4,000 now, and 10000 or 10000 in
1850. Thus Lecompton is offered them
with bribe in ono hand and threat in
the other Did man or devil ever conceive
anything meaner7 We thought total de-
pravity had done its utmost before this con-
trivance of English was hatched, but we
give it up, and concedo that these northern
Lecomptonites, bought with treasury gold,
can do meaner things than have yet boen
conceived. But no matter. Let tho peo-
pie of Kansas once get chance to give their
opinion of Lecompton and the men who
have begotten it, and we shall see as pretty
funeral as heart could wish. AS for Hall
and English, and the other traitors who
have betrayed their constituents, the people
will bury them too deep for anything short
of the last trump to reach their unwilling
cars and then they won't rise if thoy can
help it.

Tho uIlssIssIppI Flood.

Dispatches frem Memphis state that the
whole country below there is again over
flowed by tho waters of the Mississippi, and
that the utmost distress prevails, Tho cre-
vase near Baton Rouge was nearly closed
on the 10th. Over 1000 acres of planta-
tions had been submerged by ii. The river
was over the lcyee in many places between
Bayou Sara and New Orleans, and opposite
the city the crevasse was working ruin 10
the country.
Col. Forney having been accused of op-
posing the Administration on Lecompton
out of revenge for personal neglect, says
that he was mover candidate before Mr..
Buchanan for any Office whatever, but that
several of the most important positions were
offered him, which he declined, assuring the
President that he was not an aspirant for
any office, high or low.
The official vote of Connecticut at the
April election has been declared. Bucking-
ham, Republican candidate for Governor, is
elected by a plurality of 1874 over Pratt.
The full vote was as follows buckingham,
30,2os; Pratt, 33,544; Scattering, 2s5.

New Yo,.l, Anil OF
Toronto, April 26.
One of the vulnerable Points.

In discussing the English Lecompton bill,
the Times with truth remarks that Mr..
Howard, of Michigan, hit tho vulnerable
point of this bill when he said that it
made tho admission of ,SIqve State easier
than Free State. 1t requires the popula-
ton to be larger for Free State than for a
Slave State. 1t allows $4,000 people un-
der slave constitution to have Reprosen-
tative in Congress, but denies the right to
a Free State unless it has 100000 inhab-
itants. So unjust discrimination as this
in favor Of Slavery, is abhorront to oyery
fair-minded person. 1t strikes at the root
of State equality and creates direct and
odious discrimination against freedom. 1t
is the boldest and grossest possible form of
Congressional Intervention, and violates ut
terly the spirit and the letter of tho Nebras-
ka bill. 1t sets precedent which may re-
coil upon its contriyers. 1t points out a
way in which they being judges, future
Congresses may discriminate against slav-
cry in Territories, even, if they cannst pro-
hibit it.-Blade.

All Hands Round.

Wheeling into line is the order, and the
heretofore Anti-Lecompton papers are using
the miserable apology called English's bill
as an excuse for getting again into the ira
ces. The Detroit Free Press, tho Colum-
bus Statesman and tho Cleveland Plain
dealer, have given in their adhesion to Eng
lish's bill, which amounts to this-that
Kansas shall have from three to five mill
ions of acres of land if they will take Le-
compton. The Philadelphia Press spurns
the bribe, and pronounces this bill worse
than the original Lecompton.- Herald.
Tho Ohio Statesman opposes the bill of
English, and all such subterfuges, as will be
seen by an article in another column.

An Army Contract.

The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Post gives the items of one contract
connected with the Utah expcdition
The freight contract is monster in its
way. 1t was mado with Messrs. Russell,
Majors & Waddcll, January 10th, and pro-
vides for tho transportation of l0,0oO,oOO
pounds of stores and supplies at certain
rates, and of 100000 pounds additional
at higher rates, if required'by tho depart
ment. The price per lbs for 100 miles to
Salt Lake is 81 from January to March, So
90 during March, 81 50 from April to Sep
tcmber, 81 90 for September, SO for Octo-
bcr and 81 SO for November and December
Perhaps fair average would be 80 25.-
Forthe first 100000 pounds the agrre-
gate amount to be paid is S2,475,0oO, for
the next 100000 pounds additional it is
81, ,544, 800, and for the last total 100000
it is sl,698,9o0, making grand total for
which the Department has provided in this
one contract, of $5,6l9,0O0. As thore
would bo no sufficient market at Salt Lake
for the cattle of the trains they are to be
taken for beef at an average price of $50
per head. Some items in this bill of costs
are startling. Take for example barrel OF
flour. A stout wagon will convey 20 bar.
rels. Tho distance from Leavenworth to
Salt Lake may be stated at l,l00 miles vio
the South Pass and Bear River. The stores
conveyed in January and February cost $44
per hundred, barrel of flour started then
which may arrive in camp by the middle
OF May, would havc cost $sS for freight
and adding its cost at Leayenworth, il
would draw from the Federal Exchequel
exactly 500. A bushol of potatoes which
at Buffalo is worth so cents, will cost tho
Government in Utah $32. A barrel o
pork will cost $l65, barrel Of whisky 500

French emigration system, by Senator
Hunter, of Virginia, in late speech in the
Senate, are important to be remembered

Col. Benton and GEN. Cass.

In contrasting tho conduct of these old
public servants, the Cincinnati Gazette re-
marks:
Benton died poor. Cass is millionaire.
The former was man who never suffered
from an imputation upon his integrity, as
a servant to the people. The latter may
have always kept within the letter of the
law, but has forgotten his enormous items
of "extra pay" Every dollar that could be
safely abstracted from the public treasury
he has been willing to take. There are
many who, in their last hour, would prefer
to look back upon success" like that of
Cass, but wise man would prefer the ca
reor of Benton. "a good namo is rather to
DO chosen than great riches"

Col. johnson, who has been superseded
in his command Of tho Utah expedition not
withstanding tho eminent prudence and
judgement he evinccd in the critical position
to which he was pushed forward, unsupport-
cd and unprovidcd, by an incompetent adj
ministration, is Kentuckian, and said to
be a warm friend of Senator Crittonden's.
We learn that it is tho current topic of re-
mark at Washington, and it is also affirmed
in the kentucky papers, that he has been
superseded because Of Senator Crittonden's
opposition to tho Lecompton villainy. II
was thought to be the most pointed mode in
which Mr. Buchanan could manifest his
chagrin, and thus brave officer suffers for
the anger of the President at opposition to
his cherished project of subduing Kansas
and extending slavory.-St Louis Dem.

at was confidently stated that the Pres
ident had written to Gov. Wise, with view
to express his disapprobation of the attacks
made upon him in The Union. Whether
that be so or not, it is well known that some
days ago friend of tho President called
upon the Governor, and told him that the
President held him in the highest esteem,
and hoped that he might rely upon his sup
port and friendship hereafter. Tho answer
was, "Why does he not call off his dogs,
theni' Tho President has often spoken of
Gov. Wise's detection with regret"

The COMMITTEES OF Conference.

The plain "English" of the matter, is
that the Anti-Lecompton Democrats have
had traitor in their camp, who has just cx-
posed his treachery. We are sorry to say
it of our neighbor on tho west, but truth
compels the assertion, that Indiana has fur
nished some of the most servile and base
of the political tools who have for so long a
time kept the North under tho foot of the
slave interests of the South.
Mr.. English has made his report by which
tho people of Kansas arc offered o golden
bribe to vote for Lecompton.
Tho matter is postponed in the House
until the second Monday in May. This
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by Southerner-
shows merely that tho wires are not yet all
in working order but we havo little doubt
that Executive appliances will remedy any
jarring and finally carry Lecompton through
in more Objectionable form than that in
which it made its first appearance.
Of the nature Of this English proposition
the telegraphic correspondent of the New
York Tribune says:
Mr.. English's bill in no manner or form
submits the Lecompton Constitution to a
populr vote as stated in the Tribune and
elsewhere. Messrs Green, Stephens and
Hunter would never have agreed TO such a
CONCESSION, and tho scheme was contrived
by their manipulation in part. 1t presents
a proposition to Congress rendering the land
to grant vote, making tho admission Of
Kansas under Lecompton, contingent on its
acceptance or rejection-nothing more.
OF the detection from the Anti-Lecomp-
ton ranks, the same dispatch says:
There is every reason to fear consider.
able detection of the Douglas Democracy,
add II is not expected that moro than
twelve will stand firm. The Others have
yielded to besetting temptations.
Tho correspondent of the New York
Times says that under the bill Kansas
would get five million acres of land, also
says:
Ten Douglas Democrats go with tho Le
comptonites Qutman has paired off,
Hill, Trippe, and Zollcoffer, Southerr
Americans oppose the new plan. The rel
atiye vote will be-Lecompton 100; Anti

Washington, April "a


Among the papers transmitted to tho
Senate to-day by the President on the sub
ject Of African slavery and African coolio
labor, is ono from Mr.. Mason, our Minister
TO France, dated Feb. 10Th, in which he ie-
lates conversation with Count Walewski.
Mr.. Mason inquired whether there was
any truth in the statement that French
vessel freightod with African emigrants
would DO considered by British cruisers as
Engaged in the African slave trade. Count
Walewski replied, no, and that the British
would not object to tho French scheme
while the wants Of tho British Colonies
were being supplied by the Coolie trade.
There is also letter from Secretary Cass
to Lord Napier, dated April 10th, in which
the former says that the joint blockade Of
Africa has been pursued some years, and
the benefit it has produced bears no rea-
sonabIo proportion he regrets TO observe, 10
the expenditure of lifo and treasure it has
cost. Butthere Is another way Of pfoceed-
