Congress has been liberal to many of the
Territories, but there is much yet to be
done for Kansas, which you stand greatly
in need of. to place you on proper footing.
From her disturbed condition for the past
few years the appropriations have not been
advantageously disposed of. have every
reason to hope and believe that an appropri-
alton will be made during this session for
the building of a penitentiary for your spe-
cial benefit. Also, an appropriation for the
completion of the capitol, that it may re-
main an ornament to be looked upon and
wondered at. You have only to state, how
ever, that accommodations at the capitol,
are not sufhciedt for your fastidious tastes
that there are no priudte rooms for com
mittees to deliberate upon the relative value
of an ace and ''a small par and for other
tpurposes-to remove your sitting to any
place, either to Harper's Ferry or Halifax,

Railroads are slowly approaching us from
the East, and pointing their way around
the borders of the Territory-leading us
in their passage away from the shores OF
the Pacifc-to return with large cargoes
of hungry spectators, to ruin Kansas
with worthless thoroughfares to the States.
The hope may not be entertained, under these
circumstances, that Kansas may one day be-
come the concentrating point for population.
wealth and influence. To facilitate this
matter, would suggest that the Pacific
Railroad be so laid down that it should
reach every town in the Territory. For
this purpose all the lands in the country
should be at once appropriated; every alter
nate section to be donated to the Railroad
Company, and the remaining sections be
donated to your honorable body.
I would irrespectively call your attention
to that portion of the Territory, lying in
the region of, but not where the gold dis
coveries have been made. = A large number

a thousand dollars to the pan, but could

friends. might here suggest, that a me-
mortal be sent to Congress for the establish
ment of Buffalo Bull Team" to trans
port the immense products of the mines to
the States and would further suggest, as
some protection will be needed, that the

In connection with the question of cam
eralistics, would advise your honorable
body to enact Eberable Banking Law, un-
der the operation of which bogus capitalists
emigrating hither in hurry from the
States, can food the Territory with sspuri-
GUS circulation, and make money matters
much more easy. The example of the ''Gos-
