A Voice from Kansas.

The Lecompton National Democrat ha;
heretofore been exceedingly severe upon
those who framed the Lecompton constitu
ton, and all who favored the admission OF
Kansas under it. 1t has been the territorial
organ of Gov. Walker. 1t seems, however
that the Democrat has given up Its opposi'
ton. That paper, of the 18th inst, reviews
the origin and subsequent history OF the
Lecompton constitution, with the questions
now before Congress, and declares, under all
the circumsta noes, it's readiness to "cheer'
f,lly acouiesce IN the speedy admission o. me
'Ts,1itoru into the Union as State" 1t says
in regard 10 the origin of the constitution
eve admit that the convention when
framed the Lecompton constitution was q
le0ql body, that all rho might have voted Tor
delegates, and refused or failed to 90 so,
were bound by the acts OF those VINO OLD
VOTE"
In another article the same paper remarks;
1--WE understand that the majority OF the
committee on Territories in the Senate OF tue
United States have reported bill TOR the
admission of this Territory into the Union as
State, ,olich ignores a portion Of me Scnea .1
of the Lecompton constitution, and admits
the right Of the people of Kansas to auer'
amend, or construct ne,o constitution when
ever they please, after the new State 10 or
gsDized. Now that there is no room to
doubt the fact that free-State state and legis.
latiye candidates are elected, and that the
majority Of the people have the power in their
own hands. We care not how soon Congress
msy admit % ss State"

SHIT my Dog, Hit Mel"

The "Oyster Fundum" is not the only iv.
ing illustration Of the homely scrlptural
truth-what great fire little spark kind
leth. Another source of indignant commo-
ton among certain OF the good people OF this
glorious old tax ridden commonwealth, IS a
law passed at the last session of the Legisla-
ture, authorizing the County Court OF Gray
son to impose tax on dogs, with view. we
presume, of "curtailipg the superiority" OF
the canine species in that region. The To-
dependence Patriot publishes o card from
MIR. Dickinson, the worthy delegate from
Grayson, in which he undertakes to VlodIcate
himself from the serious charge of misrepre-
septng the wishes of his constituents IN pro-
posing the obnoxious measure, and stating
tina, his conduct was determined by the coun,
sel and advice of numbers of substantial
men throughout the county. among whom
were several veterans of 1872" This last
EXPRESSION suggests curious historical fact,
viz: that the "veterans of lSl2" have an
antipathy to dogs - South Side Democrat.

although every attention has been paid him
by his kind hostess, he has gradually grown
worse and worse, until his recovery was hope

Chess run Mad,

The papers once in while recount some
extraordinary feat Of of the great chess play
ers, Paulscn aud Morphy, such as playing
six or seven games at & time blindfolded.-
These feats are truly extraordinary, requir-
ing proigiOus memory and great concen-
tration Of thought, such as few men are ca
psble Of. To waste such great natural gifts,
which would, if properly applied, elevate
their poSsGssyTS into the first rank az states.
men, di5oo7eFers, or profound thinkers aud
writers, and make them benefactors Of their
species, and on q mere game, seems a per
version Of Gods bounty. The game Of chess
is one Of the most elevated and improving to
the mind, as well as the most ancient Of
amusements. Statesmen, soldiers and phi
losophers have been chess players; and if it
could take the place Of many Of the more
popular games among US, it would decrease
gam bling and add to the attractions of the
domestic circle, for il is an exclusive game,
requiring calculation, and cannot well be
played enid the noise and confusion OF q
place Of public resort. But the feats Of
Mes.rs. Paulsen and MOrphy are no more
calculated u bring chess into general favo.
tlan the public exhibition Of the acrobatic
feets of the Bedouin Arabs were to diffuse
q taste for the exercises Of the gymnasium
Chess will never become q popular game
with Americans; they are too restless, and
want more excitement than is furnished by
pouring over checker board for two or three
hours, racking the brain and memory.

A RRnhrnpt LAW,

We can scarcely credit the announcement
that the present Democratic Congress con-
templates the passage Of Bankrupt Law,
and that some of the party place this as
ranking next in Importance to the Kansas
question" 1t is quite true that Demo
cratic President recommended Bankrupt
Law several years before it was passed by a
Wing Congress, in 1912, but the party lost
sight of this fact, and uniformly denounced
The measure as Wing act aud poured con
tumely and cast reproach upon the Wings for
carrying into effect Democratic recOmmen-
dation!
Senator Toombs, now shining light, and
leader Of the Democratic pbalanx in the
Senate, has bill which includes all corpora
tons and individuals in the benefit of the act,
fully recognising the voluntary feature. a
feature that has been denounced by every
cross-road Democratic orator, throughout the
length aud breadth Of the country.
The Washington corEesp ondent Of the Rich
mond South says that Judge Caskie of this
State will report another and very different
bill IN the House Of epresentatlves-"in-
tended only 10 operate upon banking lDstltu-
tions. 1t has," continues the correspondent,
"the obvious merit of initiating great re
form in our financial system by taking the
first and simplest step, leaving it for exper-
fence to determine whether this system OF
uniform bankruptcy shall he extended 10
railroad corporations and others. The pro-
visions Of the bill will be very stringent,
compelling the bank to go into liqu daslon
within ten days, in case OF failure TO redeem
its specie obligations. Fred. Herald.
