MR EWING ON THE FATE or THE ENGLISH Bril- IN
kASsAs-In reply to the inquiry as to the probable
fate of the English proposition Mr. Thomas Ewing,
Jr., formerly Of Ohio. and now Of Leayenworth,
Kansas. writes letter dated May 10th, which con-
cludes with the following assurance of the rejec-
ton by the Kansas people of the proposed bribe
Mr. Ewing, it may be remarked, represents the con-
sentative wing of the Free State party:
The character Of the English bill is as generally
understood here as in any northern state-and much
more generally despised The mind of every man is
made up as to the vote he will cast upon it, The
proe bride will get hearing before the people,
but will be rejected with indignation and scorn 1t
will not add hundred votes to the strength of the
naked Lecompton. If the national democracy make
no effort in its behalf it will be voted down by
about eigM thousand majority-if they make such ef
fort it will be voted down by about tcelue thousand
majority. The pro-slavery party will vote for it,
and some of those Douglas men who prefer a slave
state. The rest of the Douglas democracy will go
against it-and the faces of the united free-state
party will turn all one way.
. sThere is no terror to the people of Kansas in
the threat of temporary exclusion from the Union
feel safe in saying that if they could have had the
control of the territorial government from its or
ganization, they would not yet have asked admis-
sion. They sought to be admitted under the Tope-
Ka Constitution only to rid themselves of the usur
perS VINO nelu Inc GerFltoIfti government. Alter
getting control of that government, they framed
the Leavenworth Constitution merely to defeat the
Lecompton. The people of Kansas are poor, in
debt, struggling to open their FARMS and make
homes for their families, and have neither the num-
beers nor the wealth to bear the burden of state
government-and they will not hasten to assume
that burden to beleaguer the doors of Congress
for admission.
Very truly yours, Tho. EWING, JR.

Old George III. once interposed in behalf of a
London printer, whom the Ministry had resolved to
prosecute for publishing bogus speech from the
throne to newly assembled Parliament. He mop
cd at any rate, that the punishment would be very
light; for, he Observed he had read the genuine
document. prepared in his name and put fur.h by
the Ministry, and also the bogus; and, far he
could understand them he considered the latter de-
cidedly the better speech. In the same spirit, we
would advise our Democratic contemporaries in Maine
to cease their attacks on Coy. Morrill, for having n
his late Proclamation for the Annual Fast borrowed
two or three paragraphs in substance from one Of
the sermons Of the Rev. E. H. Chaplin of this city.
Governors are not chosen, this side of China, for
their literary qualifications and one who ey;nces
good taste in borrowing expressions adapted to his
purpose deserves emphatic communication The sen
fences adopted by Gov. Morrl are appropriate and
admirable Governor who would issue each month
Proclamation made up of such, would do more
good than often falls in the way Of functionaries of
this class We prsfer happy selections to comm, IN
place originals and we thank Gov Morrill, for hav-
ing aured the Buchanan journals of his State into
printing and reprinting Mr.. chapin.s glowing peri
DDS SO conspicuousy. Such excellent matter IS NOT
often found in their columns we hope this taste Of
it will create in their readers, minds thirst FIR
more. Gov. NJ. has thus achieved great good--per-5
hans more than he intended. We trust he NAV he
reelected by an increased majority. (Ib

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-The Bucyrus Journal
says that man living near there, lost his wife some
years ago, in Homer, N that they had a little
girl which he gave to friend and left the country
He was gone ten years and returned but could find
no trace of his child. She had two marks by which
she had scar her arm. The man gave her
up lost to him, and finally settled near Bucyrus
and married The rest we give from that paper =
About two weeks ago, he happened to pass by the
the room i'll his house occupied by servant girl who
had resided with him for nearly two years, at time
open saw her foot. He merely glanced at it, and
happened to notice that the little of the right foot
was missing He thought nothing of itat the time,
but after retiring, the idea struck him that it
might be the daughter he had searched for SO
long. AT first he dismissed the thought as improv-
able, but it still forced itself upon him, until finally
he requested his wife to go to the and ascertain
whether there was or not, marks of a scald upon
her right arm She went and to his immense de-
light reported that the mark was there. The poor
man was SO positive of her identify, that the girl
was awakened, and in the middle Of the night was
questioned as to her origin.
She could only tell them that she did not know
her nts that her earliest recollectons that
she had lived somewhere in the east with family
named manning the family she had been left with by
the woman originally entrusted with herr and at
their death she taken charge of by the overseers
of the poor place provided for her and she had
come to Bucyrus with family and had supported
herself by doing housework since. This talliedso
nearly with the ascertaned facts in the that the
next day the father started east with her. and visit
ing the different points named, ascertained to his
great Joy, that she in truth his daughter. She
is an extremely beautiful girl of great natural in
lligence and though totally uueducated is still in
teresting. She is now at Grandvile, Ohio, receiv-
ing an education to fit her for the new station she
has assumed in life.

s,D IsrILLERY Sw1LL MLK.-Frank Leslie's Paper,
which has justly excited much feeling in New York
by portraying the loathsomeness Of the Swll Milk
business, says:
With regard to the cows that are kept and the
milk that is produced in these swiH stables, we find
that distemper broke out in the swll stables
the South Ferry about twelve years ago, and from
them it spread through all the swil stables in New
York. At first it was almost uniformly fatal 1t
was no uncommon thing for O milkman to milk his
cows in the morning and on his return find two Or
three dead Cows which took the disease lived from
two hours to a month, and generally MIXED
to the last. The disease still prevails to an alarm
ing extent in the swll stables, and bears the same
character A that dies suddenly generally
swells to twice her natural size. On opecg it the
inwards are found highly ntamed, with all the ap
pearance of consumption, with cough and foyer
On opening them the lungs will be found destroyed
except q part about as large as mans hand this
swims in a mass of purulent matter.
This disease, which we have just described, has
prevailed for the last twenty years in these stables
Cows still die in them daily from it. TIE only re-
medy that has been found, is to cut a slit in the
cows tail, and insert of the matter from a
dead cows lungs All fresh cows as they are in
troduced into these stables SO innoculated. The
tail generally rots off, and about one COW in five
dies On removing the skin, the whole IF the hind part Of
the body acH be found many instances, to be mortified.
During the time the COWS are under the influence
of the innoculation they are MIXED with the 9TH
ers and the milk sold. One Dlilkman in these sta
bes had twenty five fresh innoculated at one
time !; and the milk from those cows during the
time they were under the influence of the opera
tion was sold with the other milk
