KANSAS ELEoTIoN-The vote in Kar-
sas has resulted as expected-all against
Buchanan's favorite second rate machine,
known as the English Bill, which provides
that $4,000 inhabitants and negro slaves
make a slave State, while 10000 free
white persons are necessary to make free
state-that is about two white men are
as good as negro. This is considerably
elevating the colored people. No wonder
the mud sills of South Carolina Hammond
are deserving old Buck and going in for
white men and soil uncursed with negroes
and human bondage. Eternal praise 10
Republican principles!

School House Dast royers,

Several boys around Lancaster, whose
names are known and testimony Of whose
guilt may be had at any time, have long
been in the habi5 Of breaking the windows
and otherwise ipjuring the public schoo
building; also srespassing upon the pub
lie and private property about town. Two
of them have been caught in the act, and
another has confessed the crime. The
penalty is Imprisonment in jail, and fine
unless their parents repair the damages
Most of the glass in the lower schoo
room are broken, the bell rope of the Bap
fist Church has been cut, and last week
pile of shavings were set on fire SO neal
buildings as to endanger them. The pa.
rents of these boys know their habits and
ought to see to them In time.

Atlantic Telegaph-wonders never Cease.

From all parts of the United States and
England come rejoieings at the successful
laying and operation of this great work,
the atlantic Telegraph. Our daily pa
pers will henceforth TEEN with news re-
ceived only the day before from all parts
f Europe-also, from Asia, for there are
Telegraph lines extending from England
into that far distant land where our first
parents were called into life; Perhaps al
so from Africa, for that too Is not far from
civilization and Telegraphs. The achieve
ment is wonderful, more so than we at first
thought. Yet, wonderful as the achieve
ment is, greater will surely be attempted,
for man never stops. Who knows but
that Gods throne may be somehow arti-
fcially reached by Telegraph. It is an
easy matter to imagine that the spiritual
chain between God and man is only an
electrical current, worked at either ex-
irene by angelic agents and repentlng
men. If communication exist at all be-
tween God and man, heaven and earth,
something like magnetism and Telegraphs
must be the vehicle of conveyance. We are
lost here, though science, Jehovah consent
ing, may enable us to find our way, even
to the source of all light. If such notions
and conclusions be foolish, fanactical-even
crazy, we may yet be rational, for who
dares now to say that anything, however
visionary, is impossible. Call any man a
fool, mailman, but remember it is out
of fashion and vulgar to deny that impos-
sibiIities are exceedingly Visible, and that
because we can't understand thing,
that therefore it is untrue and car be done
Henceforth, we are convert to anything,
except the doctrine of South Carolina
Hammond, that public schools and free
press, free labor and free speech, are lncen-
diarisms-with all their of-shoots, such as
Telegraphs and other Yankee notions
Hurrah for Telegraphs, and newspapers
too, for what would the one be without
the other; where would the world man.
aged by kings and tyrants now be without
Telegraphs and newspapers. Give it up
dealers in human flesh; surrender Kings
and High Priests, for your days are num-
bered as were the days of Belshazar when
the writing appeared on the wall. Tele-
graphs, newspapers-glorious emancipa-
tors!
