in the impotency Of Congress to effect It's Legislative
enaotmehis, and IN the contemporsneous blight In
fcted on our commerce by the absence OF any tarlii
and laws common TO the States ana at the

In order meet the evident objection 20 his propo-
sitous arising from the probability that some OF the
States would refuse TO collect their quotas as hxed 6y
Congress, Mr.. Boyce suggests that this dIfhculty
might be by providing that in the case OF recusant
States the Federal Government should collect the

The Mails.

The U. s. Mails are at all times and at
all places the most uncertain accommo-
dations that can be imagined, but during
the past month, they have been growing
worse and worse. The Lightning Line
of Packets contracted to take the Mail
through to st. Joseph By boat, leaving
il at all points on the Missouri river
Instead Of doing so, they have, since they
entered upon their regular trips, left three
mail Gags at this city. They turn back
from Weston leaving the Mail to come
from that place by land. But this how
ever, would be an acceptable state Of at
fairs in comparison with others. Leav-
enworth has, as the Emporia News says,
Through the efforts Of Mr.. Parrott,
been made the distributing Post Office
for the Territory. The Mail matter is
first put off at Independence. in Missouri,
and distributed. 1t is then put on the
first boat that comes along and taken to
Leavenworth. where it is again distrib-
uted for the Territory. II it ever reach
es Northern Kansas from that place, it is
certainly not owing to any exertion OF
those connected with the Leavenworth
office. To convey the whole of the vast
Mail matter of Northern Kansas, there Is
a one-korse Mail. three times Deek. If
this horse can take the whole. well and
good. If not it remains at the Leaven-
worth Office, or is sent to Kiekaroo,
which is Just as bad. We are informed
by the Post Master at this city that
there are now and have been for three
weeks no less than six bags Of paper
Mail matter lying at KickapoO, 10 which
place it was sent from Leavenworth, af-
ter lying at the place one week. Three
of these bags were destined for Atchison |;
the others for Doniphan, Geary City,
White Cloud and other points above
If a stray boat should touch at Kickapoo
and consent to take the mail up, it might
probably be sent. Otherwise it will re-
main there forever, as it is impossible for
the horse-mail to carry it. II it was
even sent to Weston it would come,
but they will not do this. 1t has got to
Kickapoo and there it stays; and what
it was ever sent there for is more than
we can imagine. MeanwhilGthe people of
Northern Kansas are deprived Of their
papers because Leavenworth must be the
distributing Post Office. The people oil
the Northern counties must certainly APP
preciate the disinteresfed cohorts" Of Mr..
PARROT, in accomplishing this result

CoNTEMPTIBLE IMPUDEScE.-A few
days ago, we were informed Of one Of the
meaneSt things we have heard for many
a day. Among the passengers in the
Stage from St. Joseph to this place was
lady-the wife of respectable gentle
man in White Cloud. 1t seems that
she was travelling alone. Night came
on before they reached this place. and
one Of the passengers. 6end in human
form, under the cover ofdarkness attempt
ed to take liberties with her person.
The lady though unprotected gave him to
understand that such things would not
do, whereupon he desisted. from fear no
doubt, as the stage was full of passengers.
The individual, whose name we did not
learn, was going to Nebraska City, with
the intention Of getting q situation as q
teamster, and then to Salt Lake. It was
one Of the most dastardly, cowardly
tricks we ever heard Of, and the punish
ment ofthe man who would be guilty Of
such an act-taking advantage Of an I'M
protected female-with hanging would
be to good. The whelp may feel glad
that it was nos found out here before the
stage got away. The probability is he
would never have seen Salt Lake-but a
Lake much hotter and better suited for
such as he.-Hoh County Ne1s.

THE MAIs.-We have been wondering
and grumbling about the Kansas mails,
fof q long time. and never knew where
ihe difficulty lay. until we received the
last nnmber Of the Atchison Champion,
from VII we cspy an article ex-
planning al about it. The paper mails
Cor Northern Kansas are lying at Kicka-
POO, with no way to remove them; and
we presume that they are accumulating
every week. There are bushels of papers
there for White Cloud and the other Off
ces in Northern Kansas. For the last
month, we have not received a Kansas
paper published below Atchison.
We have thought Of plan by which
70 get the mails sent along. Get up a
petition. headed by some of the most
prominent Anti-Lecompton men in the
Territory. and nuncrously signed, 1.-THE
more names the better, and send it TO
President Buchanan, praying him to use
his influence with the Post Office De-
partment, to have the Kansas mails de-
tanned at Kickapoo for month at time,
thst they may accumulate, as it will be
more satisfactory to the people to receive
fewer mails and more matter at time,
than to have it come in little dribs every
week. Well wager the dough-nuts that
this will have the desired effect. The old
reprobate, as sure as fate, will go contra
~ to the expressed will Of the people Of
Kansas, in order to vent a little dirty
spite upon them, and will have orders
issued to carry the mails regularly! We
don't charge anything for inventing this
plan but if those who will be benefited
by it desire to express their gratitude,
they may subscribe for our paper, and
call it even

THINK OF IT.-Why is the South ur.
ging the admission of Kansas with the
Lecompton Constitution
Thereby, she violates a principle Of
free government important to her own
safety.
She strengthens and builds up her enc
mics in the free States.
She weakens and ruins her friends ev-
erywhere in the North.
She gains nothing, NOTHING, MOTH
ING; on the contrary. she hastens into
the Senate of the United States, two
ABoLIrIoSIsTs, and adds ONE to the anti
slavery party in the House Of Represen-
tatives of the United States LouiSval.
Democrat
These things are all strictly true, and
yet, strange as it may seem, the Lecomp-
ton party in several Of the Southern
States swear that they will go right ont
of the Union, and take their States with
them, if Lecompton be not promptly
admitted. Will not every calm and
sensible man agree with us, that, if the
issue of Union or Disunion is to be made
in this country. it will probably be q
fortunate thing for the cause of human
freedom, that this issue be made upon
such point rather than upon one from
which powerful appeals might be made
not only to mems passions but to theil
reson.-LouiSville journal.

The WASHINGTON HOTEL MYSTERY
We conversed on Tuesday, says the New
York Journal of Commerce, with very
Intelligent gentleman of this city, one Of
the officers of the American Telegraph
Company. who is among the sufferers by
the mysterious disease which broke out
in Washington City, just prior to the
last Presidential inauggsation. From a
condition of great. bodily vigor, and a
comfortable degree Of. corpulency, he has
gradually wasted until reduced to feeble
invalid. Daring the many weary days
Of confinement allotted to him, he has
carefully watched the progress of the
malady, till the list of deceased victims
has reached twenty including many
eminent names and he calculates that
ont of total Of three hundred sufferers,
at least one-half are in q state of decrep-
itude no better than his own. In spite
of all the theories which have been ad-
vancel by medical men and sanitary
committees, he adheres. to the belief that
the fatal epidemic" as it was called,
was occasioned. by nothing else than .
malignant mineral poison, and the same
opinion is held by other sufferers with
whom he has conyersed.
Up to q recent period he was treated
by physicians of this neighborhood as
for malarious or atmospheric poison,
with no pereeptible benefit but upon the
physician and treatment being changed,
substituting an antidote 10 arsenic, favor
able symptoms became at once apparent,
and he is now able to leave his apart
msnt. The conclusion Of the examining
COMMITTEES, which attributed the disease
to noxious effluyia, may have been caused
to some extent by the desire at the time
existingto secure large appropriation
from the city governmcntfor an extensive
system Of sewerage, and which has since
been obtained.

LEcoMPToN G oSsrTUrroN.-Some days
since we noticed the defeat Of the Kansas
Lecompton Constitution in the House oil
Representatives /; and expressed the belief
that the measure had met with perma-
nent overthrow. By the correspondent
Of the st. Louis Republican, we CLEAN
the following:
Great hopes are entertained that the
original bill win now go through the
House. 1t is asserted that several mem
bers from the North, who have at every
stage. resisted the admission Of Kansas
under the Lecompton Constitution, hav-
ing thus placed themselves upon the rec
ord before their constituents, viii, rather
than keep Kansas out altogether. finally
vote for the Senate bill as a last resort

that this is the fact
White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1858-04-22
~ The WASHINGTON correspondent

re- The Washington correspondent
Of the St. Louis Republican. is still
hopeful for Lecompton, and thinks the
Democratic members will come around
20 its support yet. He says they have
now placed themselves upon the record
against it, Which will satisfy them. and
that they will now admit Kansas with
the Lecompton Constitution. A great
opinion be must have Of these men, if he
supposes that they have lsbored so long
and so arduously against Lecompton, just
70 show that they could vote against it,
and will now wheel around and give the
lie direct to their previous actions. When
lnen calculate upon this. theirs must be
the hope Of despair. In the meantime,
the Anti-Lecomptonites are rejoicing
throughout the Union, and their shouts
are ascending from every city, village
and hamlet in the North-and from many
parts Of the South, too. How we should
like to see Old Buck gnashing his teeth,
about this time We could enjoy it !
