Dear amt it nice? Oh, what a charming
snow
How sweet it falls--so seathery soft and
white!
Scene of enchantment, fair light and bright!
And how the winds Economically blow !
Oh, won't we have glorious sleigh-ride now?
With lovely bells, the dearest little horse!
And Harry, he will go with me, of course
And we will gaAop, Lord l can't tell how !!
Wen have the ride! Well have a splendid
dance,
And supper, toe, and some of that muled
wine!
And aiterwardhis dear, devoted glance,
AS we come back by moonlight so divine
And then one ieasure must ne'er forget
'Twould heavesly be if we could .ust upset!

Lana Acnriffad

During the whole period of our con-
nection with the press, we never knew
such gross case of usurpaticn of the
preFogatives of Justice of the Peace, as
that of Justice Ladd, rendered on Wednes-
day last, in aeqHitting Gen. Lane, and turn
ing him loose upon community. instead
of committing him. or holding him to
bail for trial before a jury of his coun-
try. Col. JENKINS was killed. No man
doubts that fact. There were circum-
stances surrounding the case, which should
have sent the matter to petit jury, and
there it ,OiH go at last. The province of a
Justice Of the Peace is not to try criminal
case, but to see it there is sufficient cause
to put him on trial before his peers.
1t has been represented for weeks that
Lane would be acquitted, and that he had
resolved to take the stump ostensibly to
speak against the Lecempton Swindle,
but, in reality, to show that he is a great
martyr; that his enemies are prosecuting
him; and that in killing Jenkins as he did,
he did so in self defence. Attic first Con-
ycntion of the Free State party for the
Territory, by his trickery, he will manage
to get seat in the Convention, and viii
claim the right to be elected chairman to
wipe out the foul stain which his enemies
have heaped upon him. Wherever he
goes, however, Uooa will be seen drip
ping from his fingers, and in every speech
the dying voice of Col JENKIEs will be
Kissed in his ears, Lane you know your
duty!''
We do hope the Free State party viii
not allow itself longer to be disgraced by
this man. Because he has effrontery to
foist himself upon the public or all occa-
sions, both in season and out of season, it is
no reason why he should be feted and
petted as has been the case with him in
the past.
The time will come when the Intricate
web of evidence, SO handsomely woven
on this occasion in favor of Lane, will be
broken.
We have published elsewhere hasty
review of the case. doing so as irnpartially
as possible. We believe it embodies all
the leading facts, and to us, as TO every
impartial reader, it presents case deserv-
ing of thorough investigation in court
of law, and by an intelligent ind honest
jury.

GOV smiih.

.
We give place this week, to the third
communication from Gov. SMITH, touch
ing his views in regard to the Leeompton
Swindle. Our readers all understand that
we do not indorse him on this subject |;
but he is oneof our Oldest and most reli-
able Free State men he has devoted his
best energies, during his nearly foury years
residence in Kansas, to make this 8 Free
State his age of life preeludes the sup
position that ne IS acting in this matter
from sinister motives Indeed, those who
know his past history are fully conscious
that 10 influence but his own judg-
ment could guide his action. His letters
are straightforward and bear the marks of
honesty, and yet, we conceive they are
impracticable, and his position would be
very unsafe to follow. There is no time
to hesitate in regard to the Lseompton
Swindle. 1t is a child of fraud, and it
must be- put down on the first Monday in
August. Could we have knos0n that there
would have been a chance given rs by
Congress to have voted, even indirectly,
against it, so as to defeat its action, we
should have been opposed to voting
for officers under it in January. II was
the voting for officers under it, and the
election of Gov. Smith, and other Free
State men to these Offices, which defeated
the bill in its original form, and which
has sent it back to US for our final action.
But for the vote of those who endorsed
Browns cellar kitchen nominations in
January, Kansas would have been to-day
slave State, and the last hope of max
ing it otherwise would have been cut
off.
Because we would have taken that Con-
stitution, and made it stepping stone to
the Inauguration of government of the
people, if that instrument had been forced
upon US by Congress, it does not follow
that we would now take it by a voluntary
act of our own, to use for sinister pur-
pose.
Gov. Smith has had fair hearing in
our columns. He di ffers from us, but
does so as gentleman and as such we re-
spect him. They who can express diff
ference of opinion courteously, and with
due respect to the feelings of an oppc-
nent, have right to be heard at any
time, and always shall be, through the Her.
aid of Freedom, differing as widely as they
may from US.

Disgraceful LEGISLATION.

We stated some months ago that the
peculiar province of the Topeka.tes, in the
Territorial Legislature, last winter, seemed
to be to either get Incorporated them
selves, or place their friends in that posi-
ton, for all the franchises in tLeir power.
In reading the proof sheets OF the local
and special laws of the last Legislature,
We were actually startled to see the fire.
quency certain names occurred as CORPORA
tors in those laws. They have incorpo-
rated railroad, bridge, ferry anG insurance
companies in every part of the Territory,
and university for every hill top, and a
town company, we should suppose, for
nearly every quarter section of land in
Kansas.
These Legislators, who labored so hard,
and so successfully to secure the number
less franchises at their disposal, offered a
resolution, and consumed some ten DAYS
of the session in an effort to get that body
to adjourn in favor of the Topeka govern
ment. All the time they were pressing
that resolution, those same men we're
consuming each morning hour Of the ses-
sion by the Introduction of pirate bills,
which now lumber the statute books to
the exclusion of general laws, which the
real interests of the people demanded.
The idea of Legislative body, which
consisted of but thirty-nine members, so
managing affairs that some of the names
Of Its members, generally of the fire-eating
wing, appear in nearly every law, run
ming through nearly two hundred local
acts, is an outrage not to be tolerated.
We trust the people will take the remedy
into their own hands, and hereafter leave
the members of the last Legislature, whose
names are thus found disgracins the stat
ute books. TO look after thei. personal
interests in some other capacity than as
law makers. We need Legislators whose
services viii be directed to conserving the
PUBLIC interests, instead of keeping an
eye constantly on private speculation.

o. But one feeling reaches US from
the East. since the small vote OF the Leas-
enworth Constitution, and that is, that
that instrument should never be sent up
to Congress on the happening os any con-
tingency whatever. Many who favored
the adoption of that instrument, have
since changed their position, aud now
conceae that the framing of it was an IN
necessary work, or if necessary, the Oc-
casion that calledit into being has passed
away. In Kansas, all classes a7e in favor
OF remaining in territorial condition for
two or three years yet, until cur claim
ants get their lands paid for, ard business
has assumed more settled condition than
is now the case.
