LEGAL Disabilities ofwomsn.

We have more than once said that it
was good deal easier to laugh down the
friends of what are called Women's
Rights" than to argue them down. Some
thing, whether education, or instinct, or
prejudice. or precedent. tells US that wo-
men have nothing to do with politics or
public affairs, but, when anybody asks
why woman who pays taxes should not
have the same right to voice upon their
expenditure that the loafer has who saws
her wood and runs of her erTands, the in
quirer must look beyond Us for the answer.
And when We are pointed, for illustration,
to the women who, as sovereigns in their
own right. or as regents for their minor
children, have governed kingdoms well
and wisely, when we are referred to the
women who have distinguished them
selves in the various departments of active
life, and are asked why they should not
have voice in the choice of their rulers,
and in the enactment of the laws which
affect ali their rights and liberties, we are
not able 70 snswer.-PropidMce Journal

Commissions for New County and Township

Commissions for New County and Township
Officers.
We understand that it is currently re-
ported in some of the counties that the
Governor refuses to issue commissions to
the County officers elected on the 22nd OF
March, under the Territorial. Law passed
at the late session of the Legislature.
We have enquired at the office and find
this is not so, but as fast as the returns
come in properly authenticated, the COM
missions are made out.
The commissions are made out for those
counties who have sent in their returns.
There is great deal of misapprehension
respecting the manner of the returns.
Some of the township returns have gone
to the County Clerks offices and have not
been forwarded to the Governor. The
notice was so short that some counties did
not receive the law in time to hold the
election on the day specified. But the
law has been distributed throughout the
Territory by mail, and as it provides the
manner of holding future elections, we
presume they will act speedily wherever
they have not done SO.
It is equally true that the Governor
has not given commissions to any of the
Military officers elected by the Legisla-
ture, including the saliant Major General
Lane.
The law, being contrary to the Organic
Act, is null and void, and all the proceed
ings of these pretended officers are illegal.
We understand that they have been issu-
ing orders on the Comptroller of the Ter
ritory for the value of provisions taken
by them in December and january last,
during what they term the Fort Scott diff
ficulties.
As the Governor, who is the only au-
thority for such purposes, never called out
the militia, there is no warrant Of law for
such drafts or orders on the Territorial
Treasury.
James Fl. Lane and his officers are liza
BILE for every ear of corn, grain of oats,
pound of hay, and other provisions they
have so taken.
They will escape responsibility until
the parties who hold their orders bring
them up to the Comptroller or Treasurer
of the Territory, and have them protested
for nom payment. They can then be sued
individually for what they have pretend
ed to purchase, and if they have forcibly
taken anything, are liable as thieves and
robbers; and that which they have taken
under pretense of military law, they are
liable to be indicted as for obtaining prop
erty under false pretences.
Send up your claims, and put them in
such shape as will enable you to obtain
the money these hard times.-Lecomptoa

AFres s,aie Kansas Panio,.

DR.. Gazzam, the Indelible Republican
Free State Senator from Pittsburgh, made
a minority report on Kansas last week, in
which he quoted the remarks of one G.
W. Deitzler, speaker of the Kansas House
of Representatives, made at the adjourn
ment Of that body. The Doctor called
the wrong witness on behalf of bleeding
Kansas, for Col Strsub, the Senator from
Schuylkill, knew more about Deitzler
than the Doctor liked to hear. The Co
lionel arose and stated that this Deitzler
formerly lived in Schuylkill county; that
he removed thence to Bernville, Berks
county; that he became the acting Post
master at Bernville, and robbed the Office
and ran away, stealing horse to help him
on his hasty journey. He is a Kansas
Free State patriot now. Having run fol
Freedom in Pennsylvania, he does vel

Git seems as if the hand of Fate was
raised against Kansas. Blunder succeeds
blunder, and misfortune closely follows
misfortune. The Topeka Constitution is
entirely defunct. The Lecompton affair,
now trembling in the balance at Washing
ton, will receive its only vitality from Con-
gress, and will prove an abortion if passed.
The Leavenworth Constitution, with a
shadow of doubt hanging over the legality
of the body that framed it, is very unfor-
tunate in some of its provisions, and can
not be ratified by strong vote-its only
hope of vitality. Thus we are still in the
woods, with but two rational methods of
egress. Let Congress give us an enabling
act, providing for taking census and other
necessary preliminaries, and our difficult
ties are ended. Or if the people will con-
elude to remain Territory for a year or
two lopger-thus letting the United States
foot our bills-all would be well. We
prefer the latter course, but are willing to
accept the former as satisfactory solution
to the Kansas problem. If the Lecomp-
ton Constitution fails, we will receive an
Enabling Act from Congress, or be permit
ted to remain Territory while yet. The
Leavenworth Constitution, in our opinion,
is an abortion.-AiRneola Leader.
