The acnl and ability displayed Wy sena'
tor Bioitn, IN his defence Of The Kansas
polic, of the National Administration, Is
rlici,inp praise and commchdoiion even
nom those who differ both with the Sena.
t,r and the President ON this issue In
the last number of the Grcen,burg D,mo'
crat we find the following notice Of the
Senator'S recent speech on the Kansas
question, which is fair and just tribute
TO the distinguished Democrat who so ably
represents this commonwealth in the Sem
ate of tho United States. The Democrat
says
We regret that tho incorporate zeal OF
some OF our cotcmporaricss should have lea
them to dcnunciation of Senator Biglcr
for the stand hc has seen proper to take
upon this ycXatious and IT oublcsome qucs
ton. For our part, while we have differ
ed with the Senator from Pennsylvania
upon the proper ex,cnt of Congressional
action, we have always reconized, in q
broad sense, his right to view the question
in the light which his own conscience tell'
him is right and proper; and although We
may not endorse his position, yet we must
not condemn for an honest difference oi
opinion upon a question Of eXpediency.
/ To Senator BIGIER this question is pre-
sented in a different light and is regarged
from different stand point, from that in
which it is presented to and regrded bv
us. Holding as he does. that the applica-
tion Of the people of Kansas for admission
has been made in due form, and that their
appearance at the door of Congress with q
State Constitution is legal evidence oi
their application for admission, he con
cludes tina, AN allowable oppoi tunity is
presented to admit them as a State. lie
believes that, a as mattea Of policy, it will be
best TO admit them-that, if the popular
mind is turned from the unpleasant strife
in Kansas, and from the elimination Of al
legged fraud, usurpation and violence upon
either side, admission will be Insidered
less Objectionable as q matter of policy than
rejection. While we may differ with the
premises and conclusions of the Senator
yet we may differ with the premises and
conclusions of the Senator, yet we must
not forget that others are Democrats be-
sides the Ant-Lecompton men, and there
fore we should be sparng of our curses
lest, like chickens, they come home some
times to roOst.

n@-A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Inquirer, writing from Camp Scott, Utah
on examining the wagons of the contrac
tors for freight for tho army, there were
fonnd one thousand pounds of powder and
other merchandise intended for the Nor.
mons, and directed to an agent of the Nor.
mon church. The powder was carted
across the plains at the expense of the Uni
ted States Government for its enemies
and in the trains which were employed to
carry provisions to put down the Mormon
rebellion. This is taking advantage Of
Government liberality with vengeance.

The Conference

The committed Of conference on Kansas
affairs appointed by the two houses Of
Congress to devise some feasible mode Of
solving that intricate political problem,
have at last agreed upon report which
they have submitted to the House The
main features Of the bill foe the admission
Of Kansas contained in the report are
practically similar to the Senate bill and
the measure will receive the support Of
nearly all the Democrats in both houses.
The contest now seems to be made upon
the time Of reciycing and acting upon
the report. The enemies of the bill, and
of course of the admission of Kansas,
striving to postpone the question until
they can marshal and drill their forces
for the final struggle; feeling rs they do
that it will require all the tact and gener
alship of Observation-Disclosures both in
and out of Congress to defeat the hopes
and wishes of the nation, The second
Monday of May is the time to which it is
proposed to postpone the consideration ol
the question.

The ADDITIONAL S2OO.-Iu cndeavoring
to give a brief summary Of the important
performances Of the last State Legislature
we omitted to state that our disinterested
representatives deems their valuable ser,
vices not sufficiently compensated by the
salary of $500. Tor the session, which had
been fixed by a former legl lature as q
compensation Of member, instead of
the 50. per diem and milage allowance OF
former times they magnanmously voted
themselves an additional $500. as sort
Of premium for the superiority of their
Legislation over that of former Legisla-
tures. That this measure was not car.
ried by unanimous vote is however one
redeeming feature in the character of that
body for cupidity. There were many no,
BILE exceptions, who have recorded their
protest against it. And we are only sorry
that we have not the vote on the question
at hand to give to our readers.

Kansas Observation-Disclosures Post ONCE
The Commercial has information that Col.
Medary will probably accept the appointment OF
Governor of Kansas, and that Mr.. Miller, OF the
Ohio Statesman, will be restored to the Colum-
bus Post Office by the same Administration
which removed him. Mr.. Cox has been at
Washington fixing up Columbus matters
The Statesman is evidently anxious to get
Medary out of the Post Office and out of the
State again. Of the appointment of Medary
Governor of Kansas, it says:
In this the President has made capital Sc
lection: for we know of no man better fitted to
be Governor of a Western Territory than Gov.
Medary. N
We do not know whether the Governor VIII
accept the office, but if his affairs will suffer
him to do so, we think that the country has a
right to his services. =,
Should he proceed to Kansas, he will ind
enough of his staurchest admirers and friends
there before him to give him hearty and earn
est welcome.
