u The following extract from article in the
Peru Republican, should have appeared some weeks
ago, but the crowded state of our columns has
prevented its appearance until now. The article
from which this is TAKEN is well written, and takes
a correct view of the subject. After endorsing
to the publication of the laws, the editor says:
Sis it right to hold the civilly and crmi-
naly responsible for dsobedience to laws which to
TO them have been q sealed bookl Consider, a
moment, the system of publishing the laws now in
vogue. The Legislature passes act, and de-
cares it shall take effect from and after its publ
cation in either the State Sentinel or the State
Journal, and the filing Of certified copy in the
office of the Clerk Of the county. Now then there
is not one hundredth inhabitant of the State who
by such publication sees, hears or knows any,
thing of the act he '.- bound TO know and pun
shed for disobeying. In this there IL paipatle in
Justice and wrong But there are other reasons
for giving a wide publicity to legislative enact
rnents, and first il would enlighten citizens as TO
their legal rights, obligations md duties, ard go
far TO do away with ne ghborhood contentious ard
litigation. While we are free TO admit that there
would be some points which legal minds alone
could comprehend, the great body of Jaws would
be read and understood by the people al large, and
it i. upon this suppoSition that the present Insult
cient) publication is ordered by the Legislature
Again, secondly: the people have right to know
in detail all their servants at tho capitol dO and We
submit, whether the publication in county papers
of all the acts passed, and all the appropriations
of money, would not operate as a check upon ex
travagant legislation, and result in a saving equal
to the entire cost of publication

rdattingly and the Ears"

The public printing has been tormenting Mat
finely for the past two wears, like the mule ears
did Ahu Hamooi Abu was kadi who fourished
in ancient DAYS anil was Ike unto other men of his
time EXCEPT that he had a passionate fondness for
mules-rthe same that Mattingly has for public
printing Abu's numerous stables were filled with
the finest specimens of mules that could be OBJ
tanned. Having procured one superior TO any he
had ever before seen, he was delighted with it,
that he caused it 10 be taken to his parOr, and
tered from vessel. when to his astonishment and
horror it stepped into the vessel and miracuously
Disappeared occupying position TO Abu like the
printing does to Matingly-a little ''out o. reach.
When Abu looked into the vessel he declared that
the ears we're there ''bobbing at him." but when
he attempted TO put his hand on them, they VAN
ishe'l-[ the same that the printing does from Mat
tingly.l The would rc-appear when he looked
iutO the vessel, causing longing sensations very
Ike those experienced by MattinSly when thinking
OF the pap His friends, believing him to be
mad we know Mattingly is had him put in
chains, and the vessel beyond his reach the
same that the printing is from Mattingly's.l In
order to secure his release, he told them he was
mistaken: that the mule had no ears-TThis part Of
the anec,lote is not applicable TO Mattingly l.
Whether it will be necessary to conine him, time
and the prices charge for advertising, alone

sl"enotice that some Of the country papers
are pitching into few of the city printers with
just severity, for furnishing blanks to county Off
at prices calculated to starve out the country
papers aforesaid. There appears to be a general
willingness that the city printers shall have all the
patronage that would naturally ia into their hands
but for them to send runners all over the State
whose business il is to sell their blanks for less than
their value, in orderto get opportunity to shave
the counties on blank books, is an injustice to the
country press that should be promptly resented
Many county officers, seeking popularity among
SGT ct penny wise and pound foolish indiyid-
uals, !" no are 20 penurious that they magnify the
proportions Of dollar to the size of a wash tub
bus their blanks OF these foreign institutions: thus
depfivinS the local press Of means of support
which lis labors in behalf the county entities il &c
without any bidding or solicitation.

just now, to an alarming extent, and as kind OF
antidote for those who are down with it, we pub
lsh the following correspondence of the Miami
County Sentinel
LOUISVILLE Kansas, Nov 80.
! Editor Sentinel.-Permt me through your pa
per. to give the public some information in regard
to the Kansas Gold Mines. Gold does not exist at
Pixies Peak, Is has been represented by MANY of
our public journals. The mining district lies a
bout seventy miles north east of Pike. Peak, on
Cherry and Longs Creek and also Oh the valley
of the South Platte.
Mr. William G Russell of Georgia, left our,
County with a small company of men in May last
to prospect these mines. They arrived in the val
lev of the Platte about the 25th of June, and COM
menced prospecting Cherry Creek, which they
found would pay from four to ten dollars per day
to the man. Thinking to find richer dig@ings, they
left Cherry Creek and went to prospecting Longs
Creek which they found would pay about the same
10 Cherry creek. They then prospected among
the Black Hills, and also among the head waters of
the South Platte. They found gold at all places
prospected.
On Cherry creek, four of ar Russell's party took
out and washed, in day, fortyseven dollars and
sixty cents; at another place Nr X. washed out of
one pan full of dirt. three dollars and twenty cents
Mr. r states that they prOspected one thousand
acres of land which will yield from three to nine
dollars per day TO the man, Ii worked with proper
instruments.
The correspondent also states that there fine
farming lands in the valleys Of the Pattc-as
good as any of the farming lands in Kansas. He
also states that game exists in great abundance;
bear, elk, antelope, deer, mountain sheep and also
the cougar american Tiger. He states that
provisions are very scarce. There were ut the
mines when he left, Oct Sth about 6D0 men. Flour
was sen ut fifteen to twenty dollars per humid
rcd wliiskev scarce at one dollar pc: pint-half
water at that. Mr. Russell advises all companies
starting from the eastern States to outfit at Lcav-
worth City. as Leavenwo rth and Fort Rily Militia
~ Roads the best route to take. From Fort Rilv
there Is good Road mp TO the Smoky Hill fork and
across to the old Santa Re road, which emigrants
can follow as farup as lhe crossing of the Arkan-
Sas river; from thence they follow up the Arkan-
sas to Bent's Fort, which ID some three hundred
and fifty miles to the waters of the South
Platte. Thousands Of Indians were seen in the
valley OF the Arkansas, but they ali semci friendly
and seldom visited them at their camp grounds un-
lessit was to beg for tobacco.
The writer. Mr. John !. Taylor, say. he has been
acquainted with Mr. Russell for the last three wears
and knows him to be a man Of truth and yeracity
