EXOrhifanf.

We are informed that lady and gentle
man destined for this place, arrived in Law
renee in the early part of this week, and
not wishing to wait until Friday morning
for the regular hack for this place, hired a
man with a two horse team-or rather what
was intended for two horse team-to bring
them to Burlingame, distance of about
thirty miles. for which services they had to
pay sizteeR dollars each. and the drivers
expenses. They also had to hire an OK
team eEerS time they crossed sluiee- way
IN order to pull the horses out Of the mud,
We give the above facts as they were rela-
ted to US. but we hope for the sake of Law
renee, that there is some mistake about it.
We advise every one coming to this place
by public conveyance. to take passage with
Messrs. Hard d Reynolds, and come thro'
with GAO team, and gentleman for q
driver. Their Hack leaves Lawrence for
this place every Friday morning.

At the Old Game.

The Lawrence Herald of last week urges
strongly the holding of 8 Free State Con-
vention at Big Springs on the Sd of May
next The main reason which it puts forth
for this movement, is s'to defeat both of fhe
new parties which are Iaboring to foist them
selves upon the people in opposition to their
wishes" "Both of the new parties" allu-
ded to, of course, means the Republican
and Democratic parties, the latter of which
has already been organized, and the former
is about to be. to the utter. horror and dis
gust of the editor of the Herald, and men
of his stamp. This is one of the Herald
man IS old games, and nobody need be fright
ened 1t is dodge stave-of-intended
to defeat the effort to organize the Republi-
can party of Kansas at the present time
1t won't win. The organization of the Re
publican party is measure demanded BY
the masses of the people. The question of
Freedom or Slavery for Kansas is settled,
and it is high time that her citizens were
taking their positions in one or the other of
the great National parties of the county
1t is useless to have third party in Kan
sas. The mission of the Free State party
is accomplished-th end for which it was
organized attained. No one-not even Bu-
chanan himseIf-looks upon Kansas now
with the least hope that she will ever be-
come slave State. The game now is to
make her black Democratic State, and ev-
cry effort to divide the ranks of Freedom
will only strengthen the Democracy. The
freemen of Kansas have worked together
in times past to accomplish the one great
object of putting down the usurping and
corrupt Democratic party, and now when
victory is about to crown their efforts, shall
they be divided into miserable factions to
answer the purposes of ambitious and un-
scrupulous politicians? We answer, never!
Let them continue to work together for the
right. Let them organize under the great
National Republican banner for the struggle
of 186Ol And now is the time to do it
There is danger in delay. The Democratic
party is every day becoming more corrupt
and more oppressive. Let us mow unite as
band of brothers and put it down. We
can do it if we will. The attempt to re-or-
ganize the old Free State party can result
in no possible good. 1t never can have the
sympathy and support of the masses as it
has had in days gone by, for the simple rea-
son that the causes which called it into ex-
istence are removed. Let all then who are
in favor of rescuing the administration of
the Government from the hands of the par
ty now in power, and thus saving it from
bankruptcy and anarchy, take their stand
with the Republican party, and prepare to
fight the great battle of freedom. The
cause of Republicanism will triumph be-
cause it is just and right.

Legislative.

We have expressed our opinion pretty
fully as to the doings of the late Legisla-
ture. Here is what A. D. Richardson, the
able correspondent of the Boston Journal,
aud one of the clerks of the House, says Of
it, in letter to the Atehison Champion:
The Legislature has certainly accom-
plished a large amount of work, having
passed IN all nearly three hundred acts
With the exception of its course on the
Anti-Slavery Bill, its action will be highly
satisfactory to the people. Some things
have doubtless been done hastily aud i'm
perfectly, but it would be hardly reasona-
BILE 10 look for perfection in Legislature
of frontiersmen, with little more than thirty
working days in the session.
After touching upon several local mat
ters and the Amnesty bill, which he highly
approves, Mr. Richardson comes to the
Bogus Statutes.
These are formally repealed and wiped
from our statute books. Thank God! AT
midnight on Friday, after the adjournment
of the Legislature, huge bonfire of tar
barrels was kindied in front of the Eldridge
House, and copy of them was publicly
burned, amid the jubilant shouts of the
crowd. On the following morning another
copy was sent by express to the Governor
of Missouri, with message that the peo-
pie of Kansas had no further use for them.
Several divorce bills were put through
in great haste near the close of the session.
These are matters which should be left to
the courts, and not be permitted to occupy
the time of Legislative bodies; but the par
ties who desired to have the hymemial bonds
separated happened to have strong frinds in
the Assembly. AS both partses in each
case were restored to all their original
rights" perhaps no injustice was done;
but the haste with which they were rushed
through afforded the sensible members a
good deal of material fer ridicule One oI
the members proposed just before the ad-
iournment ''that the bachelors of the House
now proceed to ballot for the widows they
have divorced Another-BaiIeY, of EN-
poria-introduced burlesque bill abolish
ing the institution of marriage in Kansas
aud establishing Free Love in its place
In The course of speech on the subject,
he remarked wittily that these divorces
were being put through so hastily and SO
thoughtiessly that il was unsafe for mar
ried man to seek his domestic couch at
night, lest he should wake up in the morn
ing and find himself committing adultery
the Legislature having divorced him during
the night without his knowledge.

From Council Grove.

COUNCIL GROVE, Mar. 90, SO.
Mn. EDITOR: Nothing particularly new
has occurred in our town this week except
the six days of sunshine. The Pixies Peak
travel is still the chief excitement. Five
men found their way into this place the first
of the week; having started for the Peak on
the Smoky Hill route and lost their way al
together; or rather they could not find it,
it was so indIstinct. Last Tuesday won
derful outfit entered our town, en route for
the Peak, consisting of seven men with q
small cart drawn by young bull. A bull
Iy team. as one of our citizens remarked
They left their team however, here, think
ing they could travel faster, propelliug
their cart with about twelve hundred pounds,
load, themselves. There was one inde-
pendent man in their company. carrying bis
outfit, amounting to a hundred and fifty
pounds, on a Wheelbarrow. Other and
more reliable teams passed through our place
also. Indeed. the travel is daily increas-
ing; though I think the profit expected
from the Pixies Peak emigration has been
somewhat over estimated. The Santa Fe
mail arrived in due season. reporting 10
trouble with the Indians. REPORTER

We observe that a paper is in circulation
here recommending to the electors of this
county who believe in the great fundamental
principles of Republicanism, to meet in
their respective townships on Saturday next,
the 9th inst, and choose delegates to a
County Convention to be held at Fremont
on Saturday the 93d of April next, at 12
o'clock NJ, for the purpose of choosing
three delegates to represent this county at
the Osawatomie Convention on the 18th of
May. And further recommending that the
apportionment of delegates for each town
ship to the county convention be as follows:
Let each township choose one delegate, and
one additional delegate for every forty votes
polled at the township election on Monday
last, and one delegate for fraction of for
ty if it exceed one-half of that lumber
The proposition, so far as We have heard,
meets with general favor, and is being sign
ed by almost every Republican to whom it
is presented. The apportionment of dele
gates, it seems to US. could not be fairer, as
all will admit that township which only
casts forty or fifty votes should not be as
fully represented as one which casts a hun
dred. We sincerely hope that the Republi
cans of the county will take hold of this
matter as they sheuld. and have out full
meetings. As this plan seems feasible and
Just, let US all unite on it and set the ball in
motion. Several counties in the Territory
have already organized, and it is high time
we were doing the same. The propositions
have been sent to the different townships in
the county for signatures, and as we design
publishing them next week, we hope those
having them in their possession will get as
many names as possible and send them to
this Office by Thursday next.
