The Nebraska Amalgamation Scheme


We see by Leavenworth papers, that
some Nebraska men have gone down To
Wyandotte for the purpose of asking seats
in the convention there assembled To make a
constitution for the State of Kansas We
hope the proposition to receive them will
not be entertained for single moment. We
have just returned from an extensive visit
in South Eastern Kansas, aud the opposi-
ton to any such movement is unanimous.
It will not be tolerated, and any constitution
which amalgarnates Kansas and Nebraska.
will be voted down most summarily. The
recent vote. although very lig in South
ern Kansas, (the whole county of Douglas
hardly polling as many votes as the census
and registry show the town of Lawrence
alone to have, shows that large majority
of the voters of the Territory live south of
the Kansas river. They do not wish to be
annexed to Nebraska. Il is not a party
question at ALL We neither lnow nor care
what the politics of these Nebraska men
are. We are opposed to the amalgsmation.

exactly on this annexation scheme. We

A MOurnful Event.

Yesterday. as we were passing alone
Summit street, we noticed that the shoe
store no. far from the corner OF Jefferson
street, occupied by an Irishnan named
Henry Morris, was closed, and that Grape
vas attached to the GoOr-knob. Many OF
his countrymen, who knew him, made en-
quiry during the day, as to what bereave-
meut had befallen the merchant. but receiv-
ed no satisfaction beyond a vague rumor
that brother ofhis had died. Morris was
not to be seen.
To-day, however, strange to relate, the
Grape was still waving from the Shoe
makers door and no signs of life were visi.
BILE about the establishment. Suspicion
was perhaps started by the noticeable fact
that a very small portion of Grape was
allowed for his brotherly mourning demon
stration, coupled with the report that GER
tain friends of his were severely bound'
by certain instruments of writing, much to
their pecuniary disadvantage in case of any
"acciaent" and an examination of the
premises was resolved on.
"'Twas said-'twas done, and lo."-a
beggarly account OF empty boxes, and
stock of boots and shoes non est proved to
be the only remains for which the Grape did
duty. The enterpris;ng merchant and his
goods were gone! Whether his creditors
will each attach piece of that "weed" BY
which to remember their bereaved friend,
or not, we won't pretend to say. but we do
