Leavenworth and LecomptOn.

We have already called attention to
the fact. that the Leavenworth Constitu.
lion does not permit negroes to vote un
less they are "citizens Of tho States. -
STILL we see the clamor is kept up by the
Iecompton organs, that the new Consti
tuition coufers the elective franchise with
out any regard 20 color. il we have not
sufficiently answered this outcry, there is
still another mode of doing it. The Le-
compton Constitution uses almost pre-
cisely the same terms, and if the one in.
strument allows negroes to vote, then
does the other also. The section of the
Lecompton Constitution which presoribes
the qualifications of voters, SAYS that
"evcyy male citizen Of tie Uaited States,
above tie age Of tgeRty one gears, having
resided in this State Kansas one year
and in the county, city or town in which
he may offer to vote three months next
preceding any election, shall have the
qualifications of an eleo,or, aud be eut
led to vote at all elections ~ Gin. Gaz

Won't let the People Rule,

some OF our Democfauo exchanges are
trying to prejudice the people against the
Leayonworth Constitution, recently fran
ed in Kansas, because, as they say, it al.
lows negroes to vote at the FIRST election.
This is in keeping with the conduct Of
tho "Canlle-box" Democracy. They
utterly repudialo the doctrine Of Popular
Sovereignty, They are not willing that
the people Of Kansas should determine
this matte. for themselves We say, il they
woat negro suffrage, let them have it,
irs none of our business. The question
Of universal suffrage is to be submitted
at the first election, whom tho sense Of
the whole people Of Kansas can be fully
lscertaiued. If We were citizen Of
that territory, Of course we should vote
against negro suffrage, but we should give
others the privilege Of voting as they
please. With regard to the authenticity
Of the Loaveuworth Constitution there eau
bo no doubt It was framed by Con.
vontion Of talented men, family chosen by
the people and authorized by tho regular
territorial logislature---the only one in the
election of which tho free state men ever
had showing of fairness, II all other
constitutional instruments lacked regular
| ity and Legitimacy, surely this does not,
And yet these hirelings oppose it, simply
because it allows the people to make their
own laws, They win either have Kausas

A STORY OF FEMALE IEROISM.

In the course Of recent speech in Congress-
by the Hon JOSEPH LANE, of Oregon lie re-
lated the following incident, which occurred in
the Indian war of Oregon:
While in Oregon last summer, | took occa-
sion to inquire Of the chief who was mainly
instrumental in getting up this war, TO learn
the particulars of the fate Of some OF our peo-
pie who disappeared in the war OF 1885, and
of whom we had been able to learn nothing.
When | suggested to the agent, in the coun-
2il that proposed to inquire into the fate of
Mrs. Wagner, Mrs Haynes, and Others he
was inclined to think it would raise the bitter
feelings of the Indians but said that we could
make the inquiry. told him that had pass
cd through the country where these people
had lived, and that their friends were very anx-
ious to learn their fate. We inquired in rela-
tion to Mrs. Wagner, who was welleduca-
led and handsome woman from New York,
who had lived long in the country, and spoke
the Indian tongue fuenty.
She kept public house by the roadside, and
Jhe good cheer which she always furnished
made it place where travellers delighted to
STOP Tho Indians informed us that on the
morning of the 9th of October, they came in
sight of the house, where they met some team
SIcIS anu pachcIs, u poIJioi VI hhon thcJ iHui-
dered. destroying the wagons and cargoes, as
we'll as the animals, while she was standing in
the door.
AS soon as they had murdered the people
outside, they came towards the house, which
was strongly built of hewed logs and had a
heavy door, which fastened with crossbars
When she saw them running towards the house
she shut the door and dropped the bars to pre-
vent their coming in. They came to the door
and ordered her to come out, and bring her
little girl. She said "no"
Her husband was abSent--and, by the way,
he was the only man on that road who had es-
caAd. They said that if she did not come
out they would shoot her. She declined, and
after some delibcration, they determined to set
the house Oh fire. The house was directly en-
veloped in flames and the chief who watch
ed her through a little window, told me that
he saw her 60 to the glass and arrange hei
hair then take seat in the middle OF tht
room, fold her little girl in her arms, and wal
calmly until the roof fell in, and they perishee
in the flames together. And the statement
was confirmed by the people who found theil
remains lying together in the middle of tht
hoWe.

I&T Away out in Missouri they live on
the primatiyc system. People sleep as well as
eat in companies, and many Of their hotels
have from three to dozen beds in each chaul-
Der. On cold winters night, II weary and
foot-worn traveller arrived Mt one Of those car
rayanSaries by the roadside After stepping
into the lar.room and taking the requisite
drinks he invoked the attention Of The ac.
commoda ing landlady with the interrsgatory:
"l say, madam, have you got a considerable

answered, Il reckon we have "lIow many
beds have you ut this time that amt now0ys

said the traveller. "l'll take that room and
engage all the beds you please" The land
lady, not expecting any more company for the
night and thinking that her guest might wish
TO be alone, consented that he should occupy
the room. But no sooner had the wayfarcr
retired, than a large party arrived and demand
ca lodgings for the night The landlady told
them she was very sorry, but all her rooms
were engaged true, there was one room with
eleven beds III it, and only one gentleman,

discovered every bedstead empty, aod all The

When you meet with one suspected
OF some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
As thing OF evil fame;
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word of hcartless blame,
For the slandcrer's vile detrnction
Yet may soil thy goodly name,
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have entered in,
Working out his own undoing,
With his recklessness and sin,
Think If placed in his condition,
Would a kind work be in vain!
Or look of cold suspicion
Win them back to truth again?
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil Is bad,
But the summers genial showers
Never make their blossoms glad
Better have an act that's kindly
Treated sometimes with disdaiu,
Than by Judging Others blindly
Doom the innocent to pain.
