Wecopy the following from the Topeka
Hibaas, edited by Mr.. Ross, who lately held
the post of Public Printer IN the Teniso-
ral Legislature. These gentlemen who
voted for him win feel highly honored
with the compliment -
"The Herald of Freedom Is getting face
iioas. He attempts to siigmatizs the
Free State Legislature, recently IN session,
as literary body. His aversion to the
State Legislature on that ground may.
perhaps be accounted for by the almost
entire lack of literary qualifications on
the part of large portion of the mem
bers of THAT OTHER Legislature, which
the Herald has so kindly taken under has
protection.n
The small caps in the above are in the
original.
In another article the editor says
without disparaging in the least the
claims of the members of that Assembly as
gentlemen, and men of intelligence, we are
constrained tosay atthat politiealacumen
and forethought which should character
ize the deliberations Of legislative body,
have been, with a fsp honorable excep-
tons, entirely acanting."
It is that few which Ross compliments,
with whem we took issue last week.

.esAtr.r. ri.d.nr rnlt

There are certain people who cannot
i've without finding fault. No matter
what subject or person comes up in the
course of conversation, they start some
frivolous objection or make some eenso-
rious remark. Instead of trying to be in
charity with their neighbors, they take
malicious pleasure in speaking evil about
them. They obstinately shut their eyes
to good qualities, while they employ mi
croscopes 10 discover and magnify evil
ones; and afterwards torture language to
exaggerate what they have seen, SO as to
depreciate as much as possible They do
not, however, speak out boldly; but they
deal In inuendoes, in hints, and omineus
shakes of the head. Instead of frankly
assailing in front, they assassinate behind
the back. Practically, they persuade
others that all men are so evil that there
is not even chance of reform. Even in
acts incontestibly good, they pretend to
find latent selishness. They spend their
lives in defling human nature, like the
foul Yahoos whom the satirist had depict
ed. To believe that there are none virtu-
Gus but themselves all the rest of man
kind being knayes, brutes, or devils.
| The proverbial fault finder little thinks
that in censuring SO maliciously and in
discriminatory he is only painting his own
portrait. It is q secret consciousness of
his own demerit, gnawing rage at the
superiority of Others, which is the real
cause of his want of charity, the princi-
pal inducement to his abuse. His own
heart is the mirror from which he de-
scribes all mankind. The best men have
been those, invariably, who spoke the
most kindly of their race. The great
type Of all mankind, whose perfect hu-
manity is the admiration of even Pagans
and Atheists, ever spoke in benighted
terms, having charity even for "publicans
and sinners" It is to his preeepts that
we owe the great doctrine of human
brotherhood. In the ideal of the fallen
Lucifer, we have, on the contrary, the
incarnation of malace, hate, slander, i'll
will, and all evil speaking. AS the One
is said to have come to bring "peace and
goodwill to men," so the other first de-
filled the fair creation with strife, and
sowed "war among the hosts of heaven
Wc never hear a professed fault-fnder
but our thouhts recur to his type. We
never listen to the benifcent language oil
one who is in charity with his race with
| out feeling that he is advancing more to
"the perfect man. Paddle Ledger.

No Governor of Kansas has been more
deservedly popular than our present Ex-
ecative. Some of the ultra Free State
papers appear to have profted by their
treatment of Governor Walker on his
arrival among as and his subsequent acts.
and are now giving Gov. Denver 3 fair
triafbefore condemning him. Good sense
ought to have taught them that this was
