1t was this modification Of the Toombs
bill, made by Judge Douglas, which, more
than anything else, determined the Rcpub-
licans Of the House to kill the whole bill.
Tho truth is, simply, that Judge Douglas
was compelled by tho condition of public
feeling in Illinois, and as giving him the
only chance Of a Senatorial election, TO op-
pose the Lecompton Constitution. His
opposition was not based upon any principle
whatever, and the shortness Of his memory
has betrayed him into assigning reason
which is found to be false and spurious by
his own record in 1856.

1t will be seen that the bill, as offered by
MIR. Toombs, provided for submission Of
the Kansas Constitution to tho people, and
that this provision was struck out of the
bill while it was passing through the hands
of Judge Douglas.
In speech In the Senate December 9th.
1857, MIR. Douglas says, in speaking of this
bill: .... ,4. ar{.I
"During tho last Congress reported q
bill from the Committeo on Territories to
authorize the people of Kansas TO assemble
and form a Constitution for themselves.
Subsequently, the Senator from Georgia,
(Mr. Toombs) brought forward substitute
for my bill, which, after Aaving been mod
Jsed 6y him and myself an consultation, was
passed by the Senato."-See Congress;on-
al Globe, part /, first session 35M Con-
grsss, 1898, page Is.
Senator Biglcr gave last winter, as will be
recollected, particular account of the con-
ference at which it was determined to strike
out tho clause for the submission of the
Kansas Constitution to tho people. The
conference was held at the house of Judge
Douglas, and the striking out was agreed
upon for "peculiar reasons" So says Sen
ator Bigler, without specifying, however,
what the "peculiar reasons" were. Judge
Douglas denied that he was present in the
room in which tho conference was held
But he could hardly have been ignorant of
the considerations which controlled the re-
suit Of it, and, at any rate, he became a
subsequent party to that result, by himself
reporting the bill with tho submission
clause stricken out.
The fact that this clause was stricken
out was the subject of universal comment
In Washington at the time, aud it appears
prominently in the Congressional debates.
Thus, on the night Of tho passage in the
Senate of the Toombs bill, as modified by
Douglas, Judge Trumbull said:
"No provision as made an this bin, for its
(the Constituticn's) ratification. This is
Objectionable to my mind. l do not think
the people should DO bound by Constitu-
ton without passing upon it directly them
selves. II looks to mo TOO much
like the exercise Of arbitrary authority to
vest in the hands Of the fifty-two men, who
are authorized to be elected by this act, the
power TO fasten any sort of constitution
upon the people of Kansas, ,Sitsom allow-
ing them 10 vote directly upon IL. 1t is
quite enough for Congress to call a conven-
ton, without being asked by the people Of
that Territory, or consulting them at all but
1t is going little too far, to allow the Con.

DOUGLAS AND HIS NEW DOCTRINE
OF SUBMITTING CONSTITUTIONS TO
THE PEOPLE.

There are many democrats who pretend
10 be opposed TO tho principles and prac-
tioes of tho Buchanan dynasty, and the
course pursued by it in striving, with all its
corruption and bribery to force upon Kansas
Slavery Constitution, who yet arc in exta-
cies on the mention Of Douglas name, and
they cite with peculiar gusto hisopposition to
Leccmpton, and its illegitimatc bantling,
Bill-English.
The truth is, and it is well established, that
Douglas is only opposed to the adminis.ra-
tion Of Buchanan in this one point, and in
this we SEQ that he has, within short space
Of time, stood on both sides of the cues
tion, as may be found by reference to the
record. The question now is this; Where
does Mr.. Douglas standi We know he is
opposing republican principles and moas-
ures in Illinois with all his might And
to-day, S. A. Douglas would be just as we'll
pleased to see Slavery forever fastened up
on the people Of any Of the Territories, as
would any Of the Southern Shareholders
His advocating and sustaining the doctrines
of the Dred Scott decision substantiates and
proves this. Those who so loudly shout for
Douglas now, will, before 1860 sec that he
had no genuine regard for freedom, in the
Congress of 1858.
True, as tho Washington Republic says,
the only point upon which Douglas has
differed from the President, relates to the
submission Of tho Kansas Constitution to
the people. 1t suited Judge Douglas re-
cent purposes to take tho right side of this
question. Two years ago he took precisely
the opposite side, A conduct thus inconsis-
tent, can hardly have been based upon any
well-settled principles. isar ro7 aft nj
On the 25th of June, 1856, n bill for the
paclfication of Kansas, known as Toombs'
bill, was offered in the Senate by Mr..
Toombs, and referred To the Committee on
Territories, Of which Judge Douglas was
Chairman, On the 3Oth of Juno, Judge
Douglas reported it in new draft. We

Toombs' bill, and as it read when reported

THE HAG-A WATER SKUNK. This curl
Gus little fish, about four or five inches in
length, seems to be the parasite and scourge
of the shar.,. 1t fixes itself upon the shark
by creating vacuum with its lips. Once
firmly fixed, it lacerates the skin and flesh
with its lancet-like teeth, and sucks the
monsters blood and fat. But, being unpro-
vided with defensive armature, and having
no agility to escape its own enemies, Proyi-
dence has provided it the power of emitting
an excrcment, which, after adhering to the
slime of its skin, shrouds and hides it from
sight. This substance is so abundant that
it surrounds the animal TO the depth of
eighteen inches or two feet, and is so dis
gusting 10 all the inhabitauts of the waters,
that none win come near it, Thus the hag
is, in one respect, a sort of a sea skunk.

A Leak i'm the state Treasury.

The Bloomington Hepu0Rcda MAKES the
following exposure;
The Salary of the Governor is 81, 500,
and the people think that this is all he re
ceives. But herein they are greatly mis-
taken. He has fees, such us allowed from
the swamp landfund, &c. Besides these, he
resides in house owaed and furnished 6y the
State. 1t is known as the Governors House.
1t is plain, comfortable building, and ifnew
would cost about $4,000; yet for repairs
costs the State from 500 to 1900 a year.
Where all these repairs are put no mortal
eye can see, In 1856, they cost So, 194 So
in-1856, S784 AZ, and 1857, 50, ,e45 Al :
more than enough to pay for the building
when new. a- - -as
The State House is another leakage of
the same sort. Its repairs in 1856 amount
ed to S1,876 6z i'll 1866 70 81, ,419 &c, and
in 1857 to S2,9l5 81. 1t would be apretty
hard matter for any one familiar with this
building to discover where it had been re-
paired. Yet abuses of this kind are allowed
by the Legislature to pass unnoticed. They
go on increasing from year to year, without
an effort made to reform them. Fiolentpar-
tizans are sent to the Legislature instead of
business men, who spend their time on party
questions of tke day, instead of the business
of the people. Hence, instead of economy,.
we have reckless expenditures.

SENATOR DOUGLAS IN WALL STREET.-A
good deal has been said relative to certain
applications made by Senator Douglas to the
capitalists of Wall Street for 4 loan of from
fifty to one hundred thousand dollars to car
ry on the contest in Illinois. The last time
the Senator was in New York, he opened Il
negotiation in Wall Street for loan ofover
one hundred thousand dollars, the major part
of which, we understand, was to meet en-
gagements in the shape of mortgages on
landed property and othcr spceulations out
West As to Tamnany Hall or any of
the politicians here aiding him with five
cents, it would be more than they have done
for the last fifty years. 1t is we'll known
that the present managers of Tammany Hall
are secretly in favor of Douglas, and are
willing to assist him in every possible way,
money always excepted.-N. Y. Herald.

account Of q homicide in that vicinity. 1t
appears that Mr.. A.Y. Brown killed man
named James Pickens, mistaking him for
Johnson Pickens, a brother Of James, against
whom he had a grudge. Brown fed after
the murder, but soon returned, gave-hinlself
up, and was bailed. johnson Pickens then
went after Brown; found him, shot him with
a double barreled gun, came upon him when
he fell, took from his (Brown's) belt his
bowie knife and revolver, cut histhroat with
the knife, and shot him fonr times with the
pistol; then, after stabbing him in the breast
fourteen times, he left the knife sticking in
one of the wounds, and then went and gave
himself up to the tar. He ,cds tried and ac-
quilted.
