Schoola

While in the older and more densely
settled portions of our Territory schools
have been in successful operation for
long time, the sparse settlements, in the
interior, have been deprived of the great
advantages resulting from the establish
ment Of these nurseries of Freedom"
much to the grief of parents whose chill
dren, accustomed to their books and the
District school house near their former
homes in the States, are anxiously inquir-
ing when school will commence Pr
We are pleased to record the fact that
in most Of the townships in our county,
the people are moving in this matter, and
meetings of the settlers are this winter
being held for the purpose of comforting
together in regard to building school
houses, and opening schools with the open
ing of another spring. In the north part
of Kansas Center, township meetings Of
this character have recently been held, and
the people have determined to erect COM
Portable school-houses Large accessions
to the settlements on 142 and Elm creeks
are confidently expected the coming
spring-friends of those who are already
settled in the pleasant valleys of those
streams; besides the location of numer-
GUS families whose "heads" have, during
the past season, been there from Illinois,
Wisconsin, and other States, and taken
claims preparatory to removal there in
the Spring.
In the extreme north part of the town
ship the first settlements were made about
eighteen months ago, by energetic, 60
ahead business men from the Western
States-many of whom shared in the
hardships incident to the settlement OF
the then Ear West :" but for the benefit
of their children, pecuniarily, have sought
and found homes for them upon our pro-
life soil. And now, that the first days
tolls and opening farms is gone by, and a
little leisure is obtained from the time
requisite to produce something for theil
sustenance, they are beginning 10 turn
their attention to the mental food, so nee.
essary to the proper growth and devel-
opment of the minds of their children
We are glad to see such q movement
on their part, and commend it to the con-
sideration of other settlements, where
without such action, schools may not bs
established, nor school houses built fol-
some time to come Let not these insti
tutions be neglected. Remember that up
on these rests the perpetuity of our fabri,

The Territorial Legislature and Republican

Parry
Certain of the members of the Lower
House of the Territorial Legislature, un-
der the lead Of Gen. ]. Henry Lane and
Timothy D. Thatcher, have. organized
what they style Republican party, which,
to use the rather profane expression of
one of its members, is mot only id
select, but correspondingly small" They
succeeded, by good display of brag and
bluff, in electing speaker com mitted to
their views, and by virtue of the same
means. chose the Timothy D. Thatcher
aforesaid to the Office of Public Printer
this being part of the programme of
which the election of the Speaker was
the first act. The members composing
this organization are mostly new converts
to the faith, and, of course. arrogate to
themselves a monopoly of Republican
principles and-spoils! Men who have
grown grey in the service, and whose
claims to membership in Republican
party would ordinarily be considered as
entitled to some little consideration, are
"snubbed" after the most approved style,
and informed that their services are not
needed in this emergency-such men,
too, as are necessary to the permanency of
the party, and without whose aid, a sue
cessful Republican organization cannot be
effected.
These men are now engaged in watch.
ing Gov. Sam Medary, Jwho, they have
been informed, is perfect ogre-who will
organize a successful Democratic party in
Kansas at once, if he is not watched. So
they have appropriated the job to them
selves, and they bid fair to spend their
forty days session at it, instead of doing
the work the people have set them to
perform. Now is not the time to make
capital for political parties The people
demand something different They are
suffering for the want Of proper legisla-
ton, and are asking for RELIEF. They will
repudiate these men as they did those Of
the last Legislature. Political specula-
ton is as much to be condemned as stock
jobbing.
We desire to enter our protest, as Re-
publicans, against this Lane Thaeher
movement. It is spurious from beginning
to end. This is not the time to begin it,
nor these the men to lead. In fact, the
party would be much better without them,
in any capacity whatever-EmpOria Ne.cs.

Prospective Peace,

We are rejoiced to learn that President
BUCHANAN has withdrawn his orders for
bidding the employment of the Federal
Troops to preserve the peace in Southern
Kansas, and that Col. SUMNER, with his
command, is now at Fort Leavenworth
awaiting the requisition of Gov. MEDARY.
With this state of facts we may hope for
the immediate restoration of peace in
Linn and Bourbon counties. When the
civil authority gets control of matters
there again, they must maintain their pc.
sticn with tight rein, and not allow the
outlaws to take the bit in their mouths and
run things to the devil, as in the past.

ing power, or other sources.

Ob- The Legislature has been making
considerable progress the last few days,
and is now turning off business pretty
fast The services of the Codifying Com
mittee greatly increases their facilities
for dispatchiDg the business. 1t is to be
regretted that the Committee had not
been appointed year ago, and in the
mean time devoted their attention time to
preparing a suitable code Of laws for the
government of the Territory. The new
code, we apprehend, will give evidence Of
haste, yet the members of the committee
are gentlemen Of good legal attainments
hence pretty fair report may be expected
from their hands.

Mr.. T. W. TAtuNAs who has inst rs.
turned from the vicinits Of tie Trading
Post, gives US the following information
In regard to a serious difficulty which oc-
CURED near that place, Thursday night
last.
IL seems that an old man by the name
OF JACKSON, who has for some time lived
IN the edge of the State, keeping a store
and tavern, we believe, was attacked by
quite large body from the the Territory.
The attack was made, by rushing upon
the house, and firing a v0lley of Sharp's
balls into the window. JACKSON antici-
patiDg the movement, had SO placed him.
self as to avoid their FIRE, which was re-
turned by him, taking effect in several of
the assailsnts, which caused them to re-
treat. They again approached the oppo-
site side and effected an entrance. but
were met at the stairs by Mr.. Jackson
In an attempt to discharge his pistol, the
cap bursted, and he received a shot.
slightly wounding him in the nose. He
then discharged his double barrelled shot
gun, which again forced them to retreat
Mr.. JACKSON had previously directed
his wife to stay in the kitchen, but she
supposing he was killed, started ND the
stairs; he, hearing her footsteps. took il
to be the robbers, and aimed "Mississip-
pi Rife" at her, but fortunately the cap
exploded, and in all probability saved her
life.
The Captain tried hard to get his men
to make third charge, but they refused.
The house and store was then set on FIRE.
Mr.. JACKSON then, for the first time.
endeavored to make his escape. He was
met in the yard by three men, and order
ed to halt, which he responded to by a
well-directed shot which felled one of the
robbers, and the remaining two fed.
Mr.. JACKSON says that "Snyder,n of
Osawatomie, commanded the crowd, and
that large number were from that yicin-
ity.
1t is reported that three of the assail-
ants were killed.
Since writing the above, we learn By
GEORGE, driver on the Kansas City and
Fort Scott Stage Route, that DR.. Jenison,
OF Osawatomie, has since diedof wounds
received in the above ARRAY. 1t will be
recollected that this same DR.. was pres
emit and participated in the late murder
and robbery in this place.-H. Scott Dem.
