Douglas Letter.

In general terms, Sen. Douglas re- af-
firms the doctrine of popular sovereignty,
but he does not define what he under
stands by that term. Once, it meant that
the people might interfere with slavery
at any time they deemed best. Now,
the Democracy put an Interpretation on
it which virtually negatives the power OF
the people over that question. But
Douglas does take position against the
re-opening of the slave-trade, and the
passage of Congressional slave code fol
the Territories. He thinks the South
will hardly insist on the adoption of the
latter projects by the Charleston Convcn-
ton. They may clamor for both as justly
due them, and with a show of magna-
nimity waive them, and thus induce
the Northern Democracy to yield them
what they really desire.
Douglas has, however, placed himself
in a position where he can be the nomi.
nee of the Charleston Convention, or take
an independent nomination if he is repu.
dated.

Banking in Minnesota

We must have banks in Kansas, to pro-
duce ease in the money market it is said.
If such would be the legitimate effect OF
banks, why has this not been the case in
Minnesota That State was crushed
down with the same usurious rates of in
terest as Kansas, and currency was scarce.
The Bank of Glencoe was established
on State stocks at So cents on dollar,
when it was impossible to establish any
market price for them in New York
The consequence is, the bills of that
bank are looked upon with suspicion, and
the people are flooded with worthless
currency. A second bank has been start
ed on the basis of the bonds of the &C.
dar Valley Railroad, at an estimated
value of 95 cents to the dollar. Such is
the result of currency tinkering in Min
nesota. If under the plea, that we must
have banks to furnish home currency,
they are permitted to be established in
Kansas, it is to be hoped the Minnesota
blunder will NOT be re-enacted.

Dr.. DoY Convicted

The second trial of DR.. boy, under the
Fugitive Slave Law, took place last week
at St. Joseph. The Gazette, speaking of
it, says:
"The jury yesterday brought in a YER
dict against John boy, and he was sem
fenced to the Penitentiary for five years.
This is the first conviction for negro steal
ing that has fallen under our observation
in this quarter of Missouri, and we trust
it will have wholesome influence. Upon
refusal to set aside the verdict, motion
was made by the prisoners counsel to ar
rest judgment, which was sustained by
the Judge, and boy will remain in orr
Jail for thirty days"
We also clip from the Leavenworth
Herald of Sunday last the following item:
"Gov. Shannon, Gen. A. C. Davis, of
X. r., and Judge Spratt, of Platte coun-
ty, Mo-, defended boy. Eleven of the
jury, on retiring, were for verdict o.
guilty; the twelfth man, after an absence
Of twenty -four hours, yielded to verdict
of FIVE years imprisonment, though most
OF the jury were for ten years"
The judgment was arrested for two
months, to allow the case to be taken up
to the Supreme Court.

An able and interesting sermon was de-
livered from Acts 20: 16, IL, Is, by Bro.

Away with The "oId Guard +"

The Kansas Neps, speaking of the Re
public, published at Washington, remarks:
sit il the only Republican paper published
at the national capitol, and it should be
well sustained BY the Republicans" The
National Era, edited by one Of the bold
est, bravest, and truest Republicans, is
read out Of the ranks of the faithful. The
courteous yet fearless stand of the Era,
has made it possible for the Republic to
be tolerated, and it will continue to be
the leading Republican paper of Wash
ington, unless Republicanism there de-
generates to a mere glittering generality,
synonym, as in Kansas, Of political
trickery and misrepresentation.

Atchison county has three Republicans,
by a very small majority, though the
Democratic party brought forward only
one Democrat on Saturday, and two on
Monday, the day before the election, ana
was wholly unOrganized. Of course such
a victory should be heralded the word
over as something to boast of, PARTICULAR
ly as that county, three years age was
Border Ruffianish.
Jefferson, Calhoun alias jackson,
Leavenworth and Wyandott counties, all
heretofore largely Free State, have gone
Democratic by handsome majorities, ma
iorities sufficiently large to balance up all
the counties which have gone Republi
can, and yet we are told of the brilliant
and glorious victories ofthe Republicans.
We assert it as fact, that less than q
two-thirds vote was polled at the late
election; that thousands have stood aloof
from the contest because they were uu-
willing to be forced into the ranks oil
either of the parties by the trickery and
ehicanery Of party leaders; that as far as
we have heard expressions, we believe
the probabilities are great that large
majority of this suppressed public senti-
ment will be thrown in such manner
as to defeat the aspirations of those arch
demagogues and taith-breakers who have
gone out from the oil Free State party
and have organized new party, with the
avowed purpose of driving out from
among them a large number of leading
and influential men who were in the way
of their ambition.
We are conscious that we shall b.
charged with a desire to play into the
hands of the Democracy, because of THU
article. Our design is to show our friends
in the States the great strength q of thu
Republican party in Kansas, and SHOW
how much has been gained by provin!
false to pledges, and organizing new
party with new tests, for the purpose o
giving "aid and comfort" to party out
side of Kansas. We mean to say further
that the late vote is significant of tn
future, and renders the prospects of fina
Democratic triumph more than probable
and the sending up of a Democratic Del
egate to Congress in the fall, and, finally
one Democratic Representative and tw
Democratic Senators to Congress, unde
our State organization. OF course thi
would be a brilliant Republican victory
Just such one as james II. Lane, Marti
T. Conway, and host of other worthie
of that ilk came to Kansas to secure.

Death of Dr. Railer.

Several days ago the telegraph announc-
ed the death of Gamaliel Bailey, editor OF
the National Era. He had been COM
PEELED to resign his post and venture on a
trip to Europe to recruit his failing health.
But rest came too late. As one of the
earliest anti-slavery editors, in "the times
that tried mems souls" he won reputa-
ton for ability and bravery which will
hand his name down to posterity as one
of the noblest and truest advocates OF
human rights. We regret to lose so able
and forcible writer and so true a man in
the present state of the contest with the
slave power. May his mantle fall upon a
worthy successor.

Judicial Decisions.

JUDGE WILLIAMS decision has sadly
disturbed the conscience of the Lawrence
Republican. 1t charges him with parti-
zanShip, laboring only to cast odium on
the Legislature, and prostituting his posi-
ton as Judge to political ends. 1t charges
that our federal Judges are necessarily
partizan, and are sent here to build up
the Democratic party.
II this decision was given to cast odium
on the Legislature, and for political ends,
why did Judge Petit decide the very OPP
posite of Judge Williams in reference to
the repeal of the criminal law? No mat
ter what decisions may be given, it is the
policy of ultra Republicans to denounce
them as partizan and unfair. 1t seems
TO be sin of deepest dye to be Demo
crat; while the errors of omission by the
late Legislature, and the frauds practised
upon the people by nominating Conven-
tons, are to be CLOSED over because Re-
publicans are responsible for them.
Thatcher lays down the rule of the con-
struction of statutes thus ave believe
that the rule of common sense-an arti-
Gle very rare among judicial politicians
and pettifoggers-is, that statute should
be interpreted according to the intention
of the aw-making power" Apply his
rule to the Convention law, and it fails,
because the intention of the Legislature
failed to be embodied in the enrolled bill
Judges are under no obligation to find an
intention. where it has not been clearly
expressed.
But the taunt that Judge William:
evidently neglected to consult the Law
ITSELF" is as unjust as it is uncalled for
If the editor himself was present at the
time the decision was rendered, then h
lies wilfully. If he was not present, he
lies ignorantly, but scarcely less malicious
ly.
What are the facts? The prosecuting
attorney had engaged Ex-Gov. Shannon
to assist him in the prosecution. Havin:
doubt upon the point involved in Judge
Williams decision, and aware that i
would be raised by the counsel for tn,
defence, they examined the U. S. Cour
Reports on this subject. FVty-t,co decis
ions were found in the United States Re
ports, sustaining the principle of Judge
Williams decision; and the prosecuting
attorney and his assistant counsel fount
it useless to contest the matter. 1t il
necessary that the saving clause be en-
braced in the repeating act, and refer spe.
officially to the law which is repealed, tt
have effect in criminal lar. The "Cod,
of Criminal Procedure" was repealed IN
conditionally.
The counsel for the prosecution had
copy of the laws, and this was submitted
to the Judge. To follow an almost I'M
broken line of presidents is crime in tn,
eyes of the Republican, and it does no
scruple to falsify facts rather than admi
that the Legislature committed errors.
Thacher claims to belong to a part!
"whose main appeals must be to con
science and to moral right" Why, then
does he SO continually give the lie to hi
profession ? Because he believes tina
politics has become trade-a game,
he should not attempt to measure ever,
other man by his own Procrustean bed o
trickery, hypocrisy and falsehood.

taxes, shall be entitled to vote for mem
Der to represent such town in the House
of Commons" &c. Certainly, women
were included in the first class, though
whether they exercised the rights thus
guaranteed to them, we have no histori-
cal means of knowing.
The Constitution of Delaware of 1892,
gave the right of suffrage to "every white
citizen" No distinction of sex.
The Constitution of Georgia, as revised
and amended May 30, 1913, provided /:
"That the electors of members of the
General Assembly shall be citizens and
inhabitants of this State, who shall have
attained the age of twenty-one years, and
have paid all taxes which may have been
required of them, and which they may
have had an opportunity of paying, agrea-
bly, to law, for the year preceding the
election, and shall have resided six
months within the county" &C. There
is no distinction of sex here.
This disposes of the plea, that in de-
handing the right of suffrage woman is
clamoring for an unheard of innovation,
and one which would contravene the Con-
stitution of the United States. They ask
for the right which was accorded them
under the Constitutions of at least four OF
the original thirteen States-aright which
is the natural outgrowth of the self-evi-
dent principles of the Declaration of In
dependence. That instrument denounced
taxation without representation as an act
Of tyranny, and asserted the inalienable
right of elf-goysrament. 1t was vim
