THE Reason Why.

The Washington Union has the follow
ing characteristic item of Court intelli-
gence. Our republican King is not the
first tyrant who has been compelled to ac-
knowledge the power of the people, or who
has resorted to the most petty and con
temptible acts of tyranny for revenge
The Union says:
The people of Kanzas complain because
the lands in that Territory have been so
early brought into market, contrary to ex-
peetation and precedent, compelling squat
ters to pay up in July. or forfeit their pre-
emption. This hard discrimination against
item is probably owing to the rebellious
disposition of the faetious majority. The
President has felt their power, and means
to give. them an unpleasant experience of
his IN turn.

District Land Office.

We learn that instructions have been re-
ceived by the Register and Receiver of the
Land Office, not to permit parties engaged
in making pre- emption papers and proofs
to occupy any portion of the Register or
Receivers offiee-that "this privilege must
at once be withdrawn"
Pre-emptors will therefore be required to
have their proof papers prepared before COM
ing to the Office. Their cases will be exam
ined and disposed of in the order in which
they present their papers to the Office.
Pre-emptors who settled previous to the
survey, must have fled within three months
from the date of the survey in the field
Those who may have settled after the sur
vey must file. or have fled, within three
months from the approval of the plat, which
is 1.-THE evidence of the Legality of the sur
vey."
Hereafter, where parties may not have
fled in time, they viii be permitted in con-
tested cases, to submit proof as to the date
Of settlement, as well as other facts. The
word settlement having technical meaning
in the pre-emption law, it is made the duty
of the local officers to Judge from the testi-
mony submitted sss0hen tie settlement acas
made ''-Leconspto Democrat

The new Superior Company are now erect
ing good and substantial bridge across
Dragon Greek, opposite the town of Supe-
rior, about two miles south of Burlingame.
It is also their intention to lay out road
from Superior to Onion Greek. at the cross
ing of the Emporia and Burlingame road,
which will be ''cut off" of at least four
miles for those travelling to Lawrence from
this region. This win be quite an induce
ment to go by the way of Superior, and we
hope our citizens will avail themselves of it
the first opportunity. We understand that
the Messrs- Walker win shortly change the
line of their Hack route so as to go through
Superior instead of Burlingame, on their
way to Lawrence.

Emigration.

= The tide Of emigration flowing through
this place to the West and Southwest, IS
steadilyon the increase, and bids fair to ex-
ceed that of last year. An additional i'm
petus has been given TO it By the late pro-
clau,atioh of the President advertising the
lands of Eastern Kanzas for sale. 4 large
proportion of the emigration to Kanzas this
year is composed of class of people in
moderate circumstances, but who, owing to
the late financial crisis in the East, have not
been able TO bring with them sufficient means
te pay for and improve their land this pres
ent season. They are therefore obliged to
take claims out of the range of the Presi-
dents proclamation. There is room for
them in the broad and fertile fields of the
South and Southwest. What is now called
West and South and Southwest, viii be COM
pletely filed this season-but there is still
room beyond and good country TO I'LL.

An Example.

The Legislature of Minnesota has set an
example of independence worthy of the
imitation of the Legislature of Kanzas, OF
of any future Territory which may be SO
unfortunate as to be organized under a
Democratic Administration.
That Legislature has passed an act FIX
ing time when the new Constitution and
State Government shall go into operation
independently of the action of Cons ngress.-
They have seen Kanzas kicked about by
Congress and the Executive. because she
seemed willing to be kicked, instead of as
serting and maintaining position becom-
ing a free and independent sovereignty;
and are determined that they will endure
no such treatment. Mark the effect teo,
in Congress. Although the same game had
been attempted with Minnesota, no sooner
is emphatic and independent action taken
by her Legislature, than the Minnesota bill
begins to receive that consideration which
a measure of so much importance merits,
and now comes the news that it has passed
the Senate, with fair prospect of immedi-
ate concurrence by the House.
We hope the people of Kanzas will profit
by this example, and should Congress long
er delay that measure of justice which we
have so long in vain demanded, let the Peo-
ple's Government be instituted at once, in
all its branches, and let us teach the one
idea politicians at the Capital, that they
cannot trife with impunity with the rights
of a sovereign people. Let US not always
supplicate. but demand, conscious of the
justness of our position. Then the Kan
zas imbroglio will assume on the floor Of
Congress that attitude which will not fail to
command that respect and consideration
which is its due, and we fear not till then.

fulness will be much enlarged during the

''Blackwood'' is to Great Brain. 1t treats

able and fearless manner, quite in contrast
with the eringing and fawning servility of
the greater number of our so-catled

we are enabled to furnish to new subscribers
THE News and the ATLANTIC one year for
the low price of .foaty dollars-the price of
the Atlantic" alone being three dollars
Now is the time to subscribe. and we hope
that club will be raised in this vicinity to
