The Kanzas news., 1858-03-27
Speech of Senator Seward.

We publish this week, to the exclusion of
our usual variety, the speech of William H
Seward on the Lecompton conspiracy and
the Free Labor question generally. We
know our readers will approve of our pub
fishing it, if they will but take the precau
ton to read it. We were about to say take
the pains or the trouble to read it, but those
words would not answer, for it will surely be a
pleasure of no ordinary kind to peruse the
simple yet searching apd transcendently
powerful exposition which is here given of
the whole subject which has SO long occu-
pied public attention both North and South,
and which is daily becoming more and more
the absorbing question of the nation, and
the age. Again we say read the speech OF
rather, studyit: If a good story is none the
worse for being twice told, a speech like
that will be none the worse for being twice
or thrice read.
The Kanzas news., 1858-03-27
The Latest Test.

There was something of test vote in the
House on Friday last, on a motion made by
Harris, of Illinois, which was overruled
Harris appealed to the House, and motion
was made to lay his appeal on the table.
The Speaker announced that the pending
question was on the appeal of Mr.. Harris,
of Illinois, from the decision of the Chair,
that he could not read the journal and state
ment of the Kanzas Committee, to show
that the Committee had not executed the
order of the House, for the reason that the
minority could not make a report from a
Committee, and that, therefore, this was no
question of privilege.
On the question of laying the appeal on
the table, the vote stood-yeas, Lecompton-
ties, 109; nays, AntiLecompton, ILL.,
Chicago Tribune, March II.
Close as the above vote was, it is never
theless considered an Anti-Lecomptnn tri-
umph and the President is understood to
have said, previous to the vote being taken.
that if the Opposition carried their point,
the defeat of Lecompton would be certain.
The Kanzas news., 1858-03-27

We learn that the Grand Jury, now in ses-
sion at Leayenworth City, has found true
bill of indictment against Mr.. R. Crozier,
member of the Council of the Territorial
Legislature from that place, for accepting
bribes of money for services rendered to in
dividuals by virtueof his position as a mem
Der of the Legislature. The particular case
specified was one in regard to the charter
of the Kanzas Valley Bank. for his services
in securing the passage of which Mr.. Gro
zier demanded FIVE hundred dollars, but fin
ally consented to take two hundred. The
case is now undergoing investigation, and
many '.rich' items In regard to the pecul-
lar manner in which certain especial bills.
were passed by the late Legislature, may be
looked for. No doubt if the actions of this
body could be laid bare they would be found
to be the most outrageous that ever disgraced
the Legislature of any State or nation
But let them be exposed and held up as a
warning to all future Legislatures +

New Towns.

A new town has been laid out recently
by an enterptising company from Lawrence,
at the Santa Fe crossing of One Hundred
Forty-two creek, the name of which We
have not learned. It is about twenty miles
north of Emporia.
"A new town has also been laid out be-
tween the Cottonwood and Diamond Spring
creek, near their junction, about twenty
miles west of Emporia. ,s-- MI
Col. Phillips. of Lawrence, with small
but select company of enterprising associ-
ates, has projected a. town on the Smoky
Hill Fork of the Kanzas River. about fifty
miles southwest of Fort Riley, and seventy
miles west of Emporia. The country along
the Smoky Hill, which we have had occat
sion to notice heretofore, is not surpassed
by that of any other portion of Kanzas in
fertility of soil, quantity and quality of tim
Der, stone, DC, and abundance of mineral
wealth. Iron ore of great richness is found
in abundance in the hills on the Smoky
Hill. Gypsum and salt are also found in
large quantities. Take it all in all, the Val
ley of the Smoky Hill is one of the most
desirable portions of Kauzas now open fol
settlement, and although now comparative
ly unsettled on account of its remoteness,
will one day be densely populated. The
town which Mr. Phillips and his associates
have projected is. to be called SALINE, and
to those who are acquainted with Mr. Phil
lips, we need but say that that gentleman
will apply his capital and best energies to
make this town worthy of the great valley
in which it is situated SALINE ''stock''
will always be above par.
The Kanzas news., 1858-03-27
Kanzas in washington.

Gen. Shields, U. s. Senator elect from
Minnesota, has explicitly contradicted the
statement that he has agreed to support Lei
compton. He denounces the fraud unqual-
ifedly, and declares that no honest man can
support it.
Senator seward's great speech on the Le-'
compton Constitution is everywhere spoken
of as one of his ablest efforts, and was lis
tened Ito with marked attention from the
Southern side of the Senate.
The House Investigating Committee met
on the night of the Sd instant, and held a
session of nearly three hours length. The
first business was the presentation of Mr..
Stephens report on behalf of the majority,
which occupied nearly three quarters of an
hour in reading. He maintained the legality
of the Leeompton Convention throughout,
claiming that the election of delegates con-
formed to the requirements of the law, and
that therefore the act of the Convention in
framing the Constitution was binding upon
the people. He contended that those who
refused to vote were barred by tEeir own act
and could not complain. He reviewed SEN
ator Douglas Springfield speech. and the
letters of Gov. Walker and Secretary Stan
ton, with the view of demonstrating the
inconsistency of their present and past posi-
tions The report concluded by recon-
mending the admission of Kanzas under the
Lecompton Constitution, purely and simply.
The report was adopted by vote of 8 to 7.
Mr.. Stevens report win probably be made
at as early day as possible. All attempts
to proceed to real investigation have been
stifed.
Letters from prominent Opposition mem
bers of the House, of late date, report the
chances of Lecompton as on the decline
The admission can be STAYED off seyeral
weeks longer, at any rate, and the longer the
better.
