ifz- The reason there are more pfoYs wo-
men than men, IS no. because women are
weaker or their passions less powerful.
but because feeling of dependence is
native in TIE female heart. Itis because
he female mind has TO undergo compare
lively small resolution to become re-
lisious. One powerful barrier that stands
before the path of every man IN his ap-
proach 10 the valley of humiliation, does
not oppose the passage of a true woman.
1t is very rare that those who are denomi-
mated the "Strong- minded women." be-
come religious. The pride of personal
independence prevents this.
s. sweet and so natural thing is pie:y
among women, that men have come to re-
gard woman without it as strange. if not
unhealthy. and goddess men often select
pious wives, because they see that piety
softens and deepeus and elerates IL e natu-
raj glaces of person, and everv accom-

Since the passage Of the English bill
we have heard very Iittle about kansas.-
True. the Republican journals have sought
yaiuly t. keep up a discussion by assert
ing that the people Of thu. Territory will
rcjact the proposition submitted; bat no
one seems to quarrel with them on that
scoee. The people Of Kansas have the
natter in their owa haads, AM viii act
their own p!easare. The reoalt will effect
only themselves.
The New York Times, (opposilion) in
IN article Soliciting an answer to the
question, .Wha. has become of the Kan
SIS question: thus glances at the practi-
c.d effect OF lis disappearance from the
field Of political controversy:
The passage Of the Kansas bill has GER
tainly succe led in "locaizing'' the con-
test; anl the kansas question has ceased
t. ensloss the debates in Congress and to
vex The ear Of the pt.ient aai long suffer
ins public.
The Conference bill had this virtue in i,
af.er all. 1t took the subject out of the
federal field, anl sent it where it belong
ed--lo the people of the Territory. 1t
left them to decide whether they desire ad-
mission into the Union, up'a the conii-
tons proposed. or not. 1t did not do This
fairly, frankly. and in style creditable to
the Federal Govern ment; but Il did Il, new
ertheess. And in spite of the angry
disputes and technical sophistrles which
have been wasted upon this point. il seems
now to be universally conceded that by
that bill the Lecompton question Is sub
miitel to the popular vote, and that the
people of the Territory have the fall pow
er of accepting or rejecting it, at their
discretion. Until their decision, there
fore, the whole subject, as a national ques-
ton has been disposed of.
The removal OF the Kansas question
from the field of national politics Is having
its natural effects upon political parties
Iocompton has ceased 10 b the test of
LOYALTY to the Democracy. and the Admin
istration is showing a willingness to receive
back those erring members of the flock
who strayed into forbidden fields We
hear no more of the Presidents determi-
nation TO crush the "traitor." and see no
more heads of malcontents struck OH by
the official axe. Harmony begins again
to be talked about; the Democratic mem
bers of the House begin to vote together,
and it is even intmatel that no opposition
will be made by the Administration in IL

Application for aninjpao.ioa to restrain

granted. Appeal.
Itappears that Wayne Township had
contracted deb. Of between 5000 and
$1,000 for The building Of school houses
under the School Law OF 1857, and that
the Trustees of the Township levied u
tax Of sixty cents Oh The huniseI dollars
to li4uiIa.e the debt The tax was levied
under sections eish. AMI nine of the
School Law OF 1850, pa5s l62. Thos
sections are rs follows:
SIC. 9. The Board Of Trustees sh4l.

The township, employ teachers satjact to
the provisions heretofore manlioneI. an
shall establish ana conveniently locate u
sufficient number Of schools for the claca-

also establish gralei schools, or such

SIC. 9. They shall have power to levy
a tax III gheir respective townships iJr 80
construction AMI repair of school houses,
and for ths prJvilins OF furniture aal fu-
el therefor: but 10 such tax shall exceed
he sum of twenty-five cents on each one
hunlrcl dollars of property, and lily
cents on each poll, in any one year, anI
they may c:elit each taxpayer upon
such levy wih two thirds Of any tax
paid, or donation mad, for the building Of
5chool.houses within five years prior TO
the taking effect of the act Of lf-h of
June, 1852; and they shall levy taxes to
pay any amounts due for the erection OF
school-houseS, which Were in whole or In
part erected under the provisions OF an
act entitled An act TO provide for 4 gene
raj all uniform system of common
schools ana school libraries. anl matters
commonly connected ,herewth," approv
ed jane l4h, 1882 And any tax payer
who may choose to pay to the treasurer OF
,he township wherein said tax payer has
property liable to taxation, any amount o!
money, or furnish building mlteri1ls for
the construction OF school houses, or fur
ni,ure or fuel therefor, shall be entitled to
a receip: from the trustees Of said town
ship, which shall exempt said tax payer
from any further taxes for said purposes,
urtil the taxes of such tax payers. levied
for said purposes, would, if not thas paid,
amount to the sum or value Of thc ma.eri-
ais 50 pail: Progifed. tha. sall building
materials or furniture and fuel shall only
be received at the option of the proper
township trustees.
The injunction Was granted upon the
ground, that the trustees could not levy
a tax exceeding the sum OF twenty i've
cents on the one hundred dollars IN any
one year. But, we think, that limit is fix
Ell upon taxation for constructing, repair
inc. dGc., school-houses under the law OF
1855; and that the latter part fthe section
authorizes an extra tax to pay debts con-
tracted under the law of 1852.
The INDUCTION WAS wrongly granted lhe

manleI to be dismissed.

Ehe BLACK Republicans and
tiae NcsyHy Admitted States.

The spiri Of Inconsistency and s.upidi-
y seems TO have taken possession OF the
black republican party during the presen-
session Of Congress. Witness their action
on the subject of admitting Kansas and Of
admitting Minnesota and Oregon. Would
anyone have believed before the sensation
began, that this peculiarly free soil party,
organized for the purpose Of establishing
free-soil ascendency in the federal gov
ernment, and of putting down the siaveOc-
racy. would be found asserting to the ad-
mission Of a slave State and opposing the
admission Of TWO free States? Is theirs
another instance Of the truth of the adage

stroy they first make mad? 1t seems 10
