DIR. J. II. Robinson, the great story
writer. as will be seen by an advertisement
in another column, is writing a story: for
the New YORK WEEKLY, under the title of

which cannot. fail to create an extraordi-
nary demand for that already popular
paper. The field chosen by the author is
one of the most interesting that could have
been selected The whole History of the

IN the hands of man like DR.. Robinson
cannot fail to attract the universal atten-
ton of the reading world In the partic-
ular line he has chosen, DIR. Robinson
has no rival in the world of'lstters, and we
should Judge from the fact that the pro-

elusive reryices, in addition to such writers
as Francis 8. Smith, Mrs. Mary Q Vaug-

L.; Trouble in Kansas.

For a few days past we have had
variety of reports from the south part of
the Territory, which leave no room TO
doubt that deplorable state Of things eN-
let in those parts. The accounts received
. are coored according to the medium
through which they come. From all we
IRE able TO gather, it appears that the
free state citizens have suffered the ag-
;,essions of the lawlcss borderers, and the
outraecs of the troops, who should have
projected them until there is no hope Of
relief but by taking arms in their own
defense. What society would be in such
a disorgonized, beligerant condition 1t is
easy 70 imagine. Terror, robbery and
bloodsfIsd are the rule, aud to say that
the right, if there is any in the care, is
exclusively with either party, would prob
ably be.to much. We look for further
and more reliable information with no lit
tie interest. That a bloody border war
will ensue is-not improbable.
The latest accounts from the Territory,
are" to the effect that tho yots for tho
Leav,nworth Constitution will not exceed
6000. of Which number 5000 will be for
the.g Consultation. The writer says there
are numerous causes for this comparative
.ls sus ID vote! First, The opposition Of
the black iaw" men, because Of the
omission in the Constitution of clause
prohibiting negro inigraticn, and restrict.
ing suffrage to white male citizens 2nd'

Congressional.

For the week past, Congress seems to
have been quite earnestly at work upon
the necessary business of the session.. A
large number of appropriation and pri-
vate bills have been passed, and many
more otherwise disposed Of The fifteen
million Loan Bill has been strongly urged
aud proposition to amend the tariff, With a
view to improve the condition of the
treasury were made, but whistled down
the wind as readily as though the treasury
were in the most plethoric condition. Mr..
Lewis Campbell, in the House, was un-
seated, and Senators Fitch and Bright
confirmed. Both branches have display ed
quito q warlike mood, in view of the
British outrages in the Gulf The eager
pcss with which they WED with one anoth-
er in their beligerant demonstrations, ar
susd the impression that the devil was
sure to take the hindmost. The Home
stead bill, which gives 100 acres Of land
to actual settlers was defeated. 1t is not
improbable that the session will be pro-
longed beyond the tim, Low indicated for
adjournment.

Governmental Expenses.

The cry of retrenchment and ref,rm is
so old, aud has been SO frequently made
without any pclmarent impressions, that
it is apt 10 pass by as the. idle wind. No
other people ever get taxed themselves so
thougbt1essly and needlcssly as this peo-
pie. Millions ana ten millions are voted,
with the least ado, when it Is absolutely
eertain'that the money is not needed in
the administration of our affairs, but
goes into the pockets Of hungry common
ants, or no valuable consideration beyond
the interest Of these and their friends in
support of the administration. This free
and easy way cfspcndng money has made
our rovernmcut the. most notable and the
most reckless spcud,hrift Of which we
have any account. Those habits Of econ
omy, Which in the infancy and attendant
p,verts Of ourgovernment we're necessary,
and dcamel commendablc virtues, have
given place to profuscness, which, long
continual would ruin any country, no
matter-how wealthy. or, prosperous and
would undermine its virtues, though its
people were all saints. To give some idea
of ths,tenleucy Of this thing we can con-
trast our recent history with that moro
remote. THE expenses of President
Pierce's administrator were $50, 100000
more than the whole expenses of the gov
eminent prior to 1915. The first year Of
tho pfeseat .lminist, alton has cost the
nation s. Goes 900 more than the whole
expenses cf government, during the first
twenty years OF its existence. While the
:. population has in sixty years increased
seven fold, expenditures have increased
forty-sight fold. The greater part Of this
-. increase is for miscellaneous and other ez-
psnses'' which might better be dispensed
with, being used directly to corrupt or
Cypress the people, and indirectly to
strength the administration in power and
to kecp,in orlx this great Corruptihg Ma
chine, every. yater pays twenty three dol
lars annually, with prospect of rapid
. increase i'll the future.
@ In this direction the present admins
tration has outstriped all its predecessors
1t found sl7 100000 in the treasury but
before the expiration of one year, it de-
. manded and obtained the issue Of S20,.
. 100000 Of Treasury notes, and is now
calling loudly for moro.
Habits Of extravaganza and dissipation
are difficult to correct in indiriduah
much m6fe so in nations. Taxation j:
seldom or never permanently reduced
Let the same increase of taxation contin'
ue. t.s il will if the same indifference
prevfils, and the President and Senate
dictate the appropriations and we shal
soon he the worst taxed people upon the
Earth.

Committee have called q Republican Con-.
vention, to be held on the 9th inst, We are

A fact was few days since brought
to light in this village which shows how,
sometimes, we may live, even for years, in
the most imminent danger without the least
consciousness of it. Those at ali acquaiu-
ted here know that the Bank is attached
to the north end of the. Hotel the. latter,
being somewhat the higher. Over. the
gable of the Hotel there rises, to the hight
of several feet, battlement, of one foot
in thickness On the same gable, and of
course forming part Of the battlement,
are two massive chimueys, which rise to
the hight Of fifteen feet ubove tho roof.
In putting on the new slate roof it was
found that the sheet lead, which was laid
between the roof and battlement, to keep
out water was all broken off. On further
examination it was found that the gable
was not attached to the roof, but might be
swayed by the hand from the top of the
chimney down to the. roof Of the Bank.
We presume no time was lost in securing
it, as the Cashier remarked TO us that he
|, would not have,risked himself under it for
million Of dollars. 1t seems that that
vast pile of brick has been standing there,
without no collateral support, no one
knows how long; and had it, by a violent
wind, or eny'other cause been thrown over
!, upon the Bank, it would tayc met with no
perceptiblc obstruction till it reached the
bottom of the cellar. : -.
