The DECREE OF KING CALHoUN.-The Washington
States supposed with good reason to be in the conf
dence and certainly known to be in the support of the
views and purposes of Senator Douglas denounces the
decision of Gen. Calhoun giving the government of Kan
into the hands of the Topekates The States says
"At last General Calhoun has opened his breeches
pockets and in the munfcence of his nature proclams
that the reeStae of Kansas possess the Legislature
He generously makes over to the feeState party the
lawmakng power of the State that is to be- after hum
buggng the South in the most insulting manner both
before and since he to this locality Why was not
this announcement made long since? Calhoun had as
good foundation for his statements month ago he
has to-day. He gives a for publishing the re
turns now that recent information through Governor
Denver &c. leaves doubt that the returned vote from
Delaware Crossing should be rejected and in the next
paragraph he tells us that he has not yet received any
reply to his letter to Gov. Denver asking for norma
ton He says however, that from various sources he
has got it. Why, then start out by abiding to DenverS
name at ALL if it were not for the sake of making people
believe that Denver had sent him correct list The
other sources Calhoun aludes to we take to be himself
and his associates who had the best information on the
subject of the frauds they concocted and which were
fragrant as to leave him no chance of escape save by
such an acknowledgment of them as he has just pub
lished."
If Mr. Calhoun is to get no comfort from those who,
like Mr. Douglas try to sit astrde the fence in the Kan
sas business the only alternative that to be left to
him is to rush after Gov Walker into the arms of the
Black Republicans And there, perhaps, both by in
stinct and association, is the best place for him.

How TO SAVE GAs.-An observance of the following

cial may money to gas consumers matter worth
looking after in these hard times -" The high pressure
in the main pipes if allowed to go unchecked to the burn
valves, will consume much larger quantity of Gas
than they otherwise would even if is regulated at the
burner valves The proper place to regulate is the main
valve near the meter which should be shut off until the
burners are just right with their valves open full By
this means all our burners will be uniform, and the light
will be as good with two thirds of the main valve on as
it would turned on full Look to your main valves every
time the Collector goes to the metre This information
came from an experienced gas manufacturer after he had
sold out.

The Passage of Kansas through the Senate.

The Passage of Kansas through the Senate
We published last week the Kansas bill it passed
the Senate, with the vote thereon. We have since
looked it carefully and cannot find anything
so far Objectionable us to render it unacceptable to
Southern members of the House. One feature of the
bill we particularly keit does not recognise the pre-
amblc, whereby Kansas agrees to waive all power of
taxation the lands other property of the United
States on condition that certain extravaganza grants of
lands shall be made for railroads dictated by the lie
compton Convention. Kansas is put on the same foot
ing in this respect with the other land States.
Congress declares that its action in admitting Kansas
under the LccOmptOn Constitution has nothing to do
with the right of the people of that State to alter
amend their constitution Congress hereby discaimng
any authority to intervene declare the construction of
the constitution of any State except to see that it be
Republican in FORM and not in conflict with the consti-
tuition of the United States.
This whole explanatory portion might very well have
been omitted We should have preferred its omission
but them we cannot see that it will do any HARM and it
may facilitate the passage of the BILL which, per can
make no practical difference, except as precedent and
as relieving the legislation of the country of load
which has clogged its wheels for months past We are
therefore glad that the Senate is relieved Of Kansas and
shall rejoice when the news reaches that the House
is enioying the same blessing"
