re- The Baltimore Patriot, in tie
following paragraph, speaks the senti-
ments of tens of thousands south of Ma
sons and Dickson's Gne:-
So far as we have been able to discern
the reflex of public sentiment, upon the
proposition Of Mr.. English, from the
Conference Committee to admit Kansas
into the Union as State, it is decidedly
adverse. Even those partizans OF the
Democratic faction who claim to be hon
est and Independent in their views, OPP
pose it as fraudulent andunconstitutional,
whilst all unbiased persons are free to
pronounce the measure a bride in order
to sustain the Administration and not
few are inclined to the opinion that
bribery has already been practised to
place the matter in its present condition.
This looks plausible, and with SO forcible
an array of circumstantial testimony,
strong almost as ocular demonstrative
proof, we can but draw such inference.
The River Falls journal. (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1857-1861, 1858-05-26
Report Of tEse Land Grant IN
yaStigatiOn.

The report Of the select Investigating
Committee of cur Legislature on the La
Crosse r. R. Land Grant Corruptions, so
long and anxiously looked for, has at
length been made. It is very lengthy,
making book of between four and five
hundred pages. Our space forbids more
than limited account of the affair, as
shown up by the Committee.
The report makes full statement OF
the affairs of the Lacrosse road, and dis
closes the fact that nearly all the Legisla-
turc Of 1856 were bribcd into the sup
port of the Land Grant scheme. The
remuneration received by the different
individuals composing the Legislature for
their aid in the passage of the Land Grant
was regulated according to tho position
AMI influence they held. The price PAID
senators was $4,000, and members of
the lower house was $4,000. Some, in
deed. who held Offices and could exert an
extra influence, received even more than
this. The name of every person accep-
tho a bride is set forth in the report of
the Committee, and affords a record that
will blacken the pages of Wiseonsin's his
tory.
The brides were paid in bonds of the
La Crosse Road, and were at that time
worth sixty-fve cents on the dollar.
The amount in bonds and stock assign
ed by tho Company to senators for vo-
ting for the Land Grant, was $175,00o
Aside from theamountpaid the MEM
bers of the Legislature, there was Al, 900
divided between tho Bank Comptroller,
Tt. Governor, Private Secretary Of the
Governor and a. d. Smith.
There was also $246, eco paid to per
sons not belonging to the Legislature,
and holding no Office in the State.
Pump Carpenter of the Madison Pat
riot, received $1,000, and the editor o.
aho Milwaukee Banner, $4,000.
In addition to this, the Company as
signed $4,000 in bonds to Gov. Bash
ford.
The Committee have reported bill
on the subject, which provides that any
person belonging to the present Company
can institute proceedings and recover from
each individual the amount paid over to
him.
Such disclosures as the Investigating
Committee have made, are unheard Of in
the annals of legislation. We think great
honor is due the Legislature Of 1858 fol
the efficiency with which they prosecuted
the complicated work Of exposing tho
corruption ofprevious Legislatures.

BuscKaanan om Old Age

TIE PRESIDENT BECOMING SENSIBLE.
MIR. Buchanan has had a rush Of brains
to the head, and declares that another
deficiency bill shall never be created du-
rino. his administration; that he will only
administer tic Ii government 50 far as Con-
gross appropriates the means, ana Sl'Sn
the government has to stop for want Of
means, he will take the responsibility Of
calling Congress together. The Presi-
dent is getting sensible in his old age. If
he had begun his Administration with the
same views, the treasury would to-day be
millions of dollars better off, the country
would be in a more prosperous condition,
and his party would be more popular and
powerful.
1t would be encouraging to those who
are daily mortified by the fact that man
is placed at the head of the government
whose extreme seryility makes it impossi-
BILE for him to execute the duties of a
place embracing SO many details and so
much responsibility, if he would verify
the declaration he made when he read
the closing sentence of Senator Broder-
ick's great speech against the Presidents
pet swindle, Lecompton. Senator Brod-
er;ck, it will be remembered, uttered the
following pungent observation:
~ hope, in mercy, sir, to the boosted
intelligence of this age, the historian,
when writing history Of these times,
will ascribe this attempt Of the Executive
to force this constitution upon an unwil-
ling people, to the fading intellect the
pelulant passion and trembling dotage Of
an old man on the verge of the grave"
When Mr.. Buchanan read this he ex-
claimed to a friend Of his: Why sir, |
am only seventyJour! and | feel as
young and vigorous to-day, as l did at
fifty !'-N 7. Post.

The INJUSTICE OF LECoMPToN.-Da-
vid Paul Brown, of Philadelphia, and
who is well-known as great lawyer,
lately received a speech from distinguish
ed member Of Congress, in favor of the
Lecompton bill, and in reply Mr.. Brown
wrote as follows
DEAR SIR;-- I have received your
speech in favor Of the Lccompton bill,
and it certainly manifests no inconsidera-
bic ingenuity which was indispensable
for in my view, there never was a
more ubiquitous bill proposed to Congress.
I cannot draw the distinction between
personal and national justice: and | tell
you plainly that if owned an entire
Southern State, and all the slaves it con-
tanned [ would vote with both hands a.
gainst the cause and course you have in
this case adopted.
Very Respectfully,
DAVID PAUL Brown.

v,s,e latest from Utah.

The St. Louis Republican has derived
the following additional particulars Of d
Utah news from Mr.. Garish, who left
Camp Scott, April 18th. While his IN
formation does not fully corroborate the
news already given, it leaves no room to
question the fact that Gov. Cummings
had entered Salt Lake city.
Col. Kane, who was sent out as Peace
Commissioner via California, arrived at
Salt Lake City on the 18th Of February.
He remained there eight days, and then
proceeded to Camp Scott. While there,
he frequently passed from the camp to a
place Of conference with the leading Nor
mons outside.
Negotiations having been entered into,
Gov. Cummings left Camp Scott on the
9Th of April for Salt Lake City, and was
met by a gentleman on the 9th, two days
travel from the city. He was accompan-
led by Col. Kane, and escorted by Porter,
Rockwell, Egan and other Mormons.
His arrival was expected on the 18th.
Handsome apartments had been provided
for his reception. A gentleman well in
formed in regard to the Mormons, just
from Salt Lake City, told the Repu51i-
cans informant that the general feeling
in the city was in favor of peace, only a
few of the leaders among them adyoca-
ting resistance.
A scouting party in charge Of B. +.
Ei;Gcihiin, about whose safety apprehensions
had been felt, has returned to the camp.
The provision train for Camp Scott, left
Fort Laramie on the oath of April. Col.
Hoffman was to leave the next day.
Captain Marcy, with horses, mules and
about 5000 sheep, was heard from on
tho Cherokee trail about 200 miles south
of Fort Laramie. He had not been join
ed by the troops detailed by Gen. Gar
land, but was waiting their arrival
When heard from, his progress was very
slow, but thought that he would reach
Camp Scott by the 9Th of May. The
mail party experienced heavy rains east
of Fort Laramie. The roads were IN
wretched condition. Powell and McCul
Tough were met on the 9th Of April, &c
miles from Fort Kearney.

Terrible Tornado in Illinois.

we are continually receiving accounts
OF the havoc produced by the terrible
tornado that has swept over portion Of
Illinois. Disaster and ruin mark its trock
The total amount of damage done 70
property is iuestimable. Buildings were
demolished, bridges and fences were swept
away, fruit trees torn from the earth. and
the grain much damaged by the hail.
This singular and terrible phenomena.
somewhat resembles that which swept
with such disastrous effect over a portion
of New York last season. 1t was first
noticed in the form Of dark and singu-
lar appearing cloud, with whose approach
came the storm, which suddenly burst
into furious hurricane. 1t swept entire
ly across the State, seeming to exhaust
Itself at the Mississippi.
