More Testimony as to How Greeley
was Deceived.
In the Grand Rapids Eagle we fluid a letter
from Mr.. Holden, ofthat city, who writes from
Pixies Peak thus:
Horace Greeley, A. D. Richardson, of the
Boston Journal and Henry Willard, of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, came here to make an in
vestigation. An appointed committee took them
to Gregory's d~iggings, where the miners had
sprinkIed 500 Of gold dust about. When him
of the Tribune came around, they worked it out
and so the Editor was humbuggedi-Greeley

when the miners came in from the mountains

strongly of giving him an extra coat.

Homestead Exemp,ion

The original proposition in the Constitu-
tionhl Convention contemplated exemption
of personal property to the amount of $2,-
600, as we'll as of homestead, a choice
being allowed to persons. The personal
property clause was stricken out and not
embodied in any other form. This will
bear most severely upon the class of me-
chanics and day-laborers, whose tools and
household property are thus left TO the mer-
cy of creditors. The well-to-do farmer,
who rarely runs in debt, and has farm OF
100 acres, well improved, or the owner of a
comfortable house in village, has the ben
eft of exemption to the value Of his farm
or lot, but the laborer who commences with
nothing but his muscle and skill, and above
all others should have the aid of law that
he may not be embarrassed in his efforts tC
provide for his family, is overlooked
Such is Republican justicel
"The Legislature will provide for that
Are the people at all more sure that thu
Legislature will not be as recreant to thei
trust as the Constitutional Convention hav'
been? Are they sure that their rights will
not again be sacrificed for the benefit o
party success?

The Apporuonment.

The "wicked" Democratic apportion-
ment still exercises the consciences of the
Republicans. Their own sins seem mere
peccadilloes compared with that. They talk
about Brown county with 900 voters not
having its proper share. This was just the
Republican apportionment, and in violation
of the principle of the Wyandott Constitu-
tion, that representation should be appor-
toned according to the population instead
Of the number Of voters.
The Republicans stand convicted of vio-
lating the principles of apportionment ac-
cording to population, Of single districts,
and of giving each organized county one
representative. They also Joined counties,
whose interests are entirely dissimilar, in
one district, thus enabling the strong Re-
publican majority of one county to rule the
district. The first Legislature will have
the disposal of the land grants from the
General Government. Douglas county hopes
by this arrangement to control the votes Of
Wyandott and Johnson counties to suit its
own interests. Linn county expects to con-
troll the votes of Bourbon ard Lykins, in
favor of the Jefferson City and Neosho VAL
ley R. R. Anderson, the votes of Franklin
and Allen for the same Railroad.
The first Legislature, if it is like its pro-
totype, the Convention, will be unscrupu-
lous, and furnish another illustration OF
legislative corruption.

1t gives Us pleasure to state that the
HERALD OF FREEDOM BooKBINDERY and
BLANK Book MANUFAcToRY is now in sue
cessful operation, and large amount of
work is being executed weekly. There are
tiro frst-clGss iCorkmen now engaged con-
stantly in the bindery, with two additional
hands on pamphlet work. Orders for blank
books from the various counties are coming
in very rapidly, and are being filled with all
possible expedition. A large order has
recently been completed for Cofey county,
and smaller one for Franklin county,
Douglas, Shawnee and johnson counties
have recently replenished records, indexes,
maps for town maps, &C., and other orders
are now being executed.
Those in want of work, whether re-bind-
ing old books or new works, such as maga-
zines or pamphlets of any kind, can be sure
of getting their work done with expedition,
and in any style desired, by bringing for
ward their orders Immediately. The ex-
pense for workmen is so great that the
business will only be ,carried on SO long as
there is work, SO those having jobs should
not defer them, for in doing SO they may
lose the golden period.
We are happy to state that the workmer
purpose competing with all others who may
offer for premium, at the Douglas County
Fair, which it is understood will be held il
the fall. We are satisfied there will b,
some nice work on the ground, as we hay,
no doubt Mr.. DoDswoRTH, of Leavenworth
and probably Mr.. GILL, of Kansas City
will compete for the premiums.
DON'T wait for the premiums, but hurr,
forward your orders. We have not calle,
attention to this establishment before, a
the orders came in so fast that Mr.. KATE
ENsTINE could not execute them as rapidly
as they came upon him; but with two frs
class workmen it is expected they will b
| able to keep up.

Political Calculations.

Candidates for office under the Constitu-
tion are beginning to appear in reasonable
numbers. The Republican mind seems
most exercised just now in regard to the
future Governor, that being considered the
most Immediately important office. Our
Wyandott friends, not desiring to be con-
sidered tardy, have already offered a can
didate in the person of that well-known
Republican, Judge Mckay. While his fell
low townsmen would willingly support
him, some think his election as Supreme
Judge under the Leavenworth Constitution,
and of Attorney for the Territory under the
Claim Bill of last winter, should be enough
to satisfy his ambition for the present.
Upon the whole, sentiment seems to be
gaining ground that the party will be drawn
to unite on Charles Robinson as the strong
est possible man for the office. There would
be some fitness in electing to that position
that man, who, as the Governor elect IN
der the Topeka Constitution, has so long
borne the jibes and jeers OF the "Fierce
Democracy"
On dit, that Gen. Lane proposes to make
a full canvass Of the Territory in new

der the Wyandott Swindle He would make
a very fit executive officer under that in
strument. If the Constitution is adopted,
Jim should be Governor. His character
would be SO far purged of the killing of
Col. JENKINS as to justify his election to
the United States Senate. James H. Lane
for Governor, NJ. F. Conway for Repre-
sentative in Congress, James H. Lane and
Marcus J. PARROT for United States sena-
tors, and VIM. A. Phillips, the "Brougham-

Court; or, slightly varied, and we have ].
NJ. Winchell for U. S. Senator. If such
men are to be the expounders of the Wyan-
dott Swindle, the people will give the Con-
stitution and candidates each wide birth,
and they ought to do it. Mark that.

"Ths Irreprs..ibls Conflict. ,,

"Mr. Parrott stands squarely on the Osa-
watomie PLATFORM" which permits the peo-
pie Of an organized Territory to establish
and protect slave institutions.
The National Republican Committee have
sounded the first note for the campaign of
1860, in a circular under date of Aug. 16.
The party was organized on the principle
of Congressional prohibition of slavery in
The Territories. The Committee speak of
it as "faithful to the fundamental principle
upon which it was erected" Kansas Re-
publicanism, faithless to that principle, is
"outside of any healthy political organiza-
tion." They also add that, "Although
some of the exciting incidents Of the elec-
ton of 1856 have been partially disposed Of
by the energy, enterprise, and valor of a
free people, the duty of Republicans to ad.
here to their principles, as enunciated al
Philadelphia, and to labor for their estab.
lishment, was never more pressing than al
| this moment"
This circular is signed by NJ. F. Con.
way, in behalf of Kansas. Is Mr.. Conway
now engaged in preaching up Kansas Re
publicanism or its opposite, national Re
publicanism Will Thacher & Co. stanc
by Parrot, or by the Philadelphia plat
form? Which side of "the irrepressibl,
conflict" will they take?

Jim Lane, who has just experienced reli-
gion and politics, finds his hands full in
"serving the Lord'' and "the dear people. u
His confessions of sin at the altar are peni-
tential and pertinent. His imitation of Paul
in pronouncing himself the "chief among
Sinners" will be credited as genuine, but
repentance has done its work, and he now
steps forth as the apostle of liberty, the
oracle of the "party of freedom" and the
Christian candidate for Governor. He has
no expectation of falling from grace prior
to December next, unless the Republicans
commit the, to him, objectionable folly Of
determining by their primary elections, priol
to the fourth of October, who shall be Gov
ernor Of Kansas. Such an event would, il
his opinion, kill the constitution, so bitteI
are the different factions of the Republican;
towards each other. If Lane and the "In
dependent Sons of Liberty' cannot contro
the State government, they don't want one
If they attempt to become, by party nom
ination, our rulers, our judges, and our leg
islators, the law-abiding class of commu
nifty will repudiate them.

How is it,

The Kansas State Register says that Mr..
Parrott "stands square upon the osawato-
ME platform, which is unequivocally op-
posed to the extension Of human bondage
on American SOIL" The fourth plank OF
that platform is to the effect that the peo-
pie of an organized Territory should be
permitted by the general government to elect
their own officers and make their own
laws.
This, Thacher and Phillips justly con-
tended opened up every Territory to The
extension of slavery, if majority of The
people voted for it. That We suppose is the
sum total of Mr.. PARRoTT's unequivoca
opposition to the extension of slavery. HI
is, OF course, willing to let any Territory
have slavery that may so vote.

Rsnor 10 Whom Honor i. Due.

Mr.. Hutchinson, during the discussions
on the suffrage clause, in the Wyandott
Convention, having due regard for con-
sistency to principle, moved to strike out
the word "white." lie argued that it was
a violation of the provisions Of the Bill Of
Rights and of the spirit of liberty to retain
it. Messrs. HUTCHINSON, STOKES and
RIrcHIE alone voted for it, while twenty
five Republicans, including such distin-
guished friends Of the colored man as
Thacher, Ross, Hanway and Arthur voted
no. Messrs. Winchell and Townsend dodg-
ed, but turned up Immediately after to pre-
vent the Democracy from comforting the
right of suffrage on civilized Indians.
While we cannot indorse all the acts of Mr..
Hutchinson or the general course of Mr..
Richie, we are grati6ed to learn that on
this point they stood true to principle. All
honor to the minority of three, who had
manliness enough to stand alone if need be.
Mr.. Stokes generally voted judiciously,
and proved himself working member,
more valuable by far than those noisy talk
ers who are continually mouthing about the
interests of the "dear people," as step to
notoriety and official reward.

Land Sales.

The public sale of lands at the Kicka.
poo Office closes to-day. The land office
opens on Monday for land warrants al
private entry. The public sale has beer
one Of the dullest ever held in the West
1t has frequently happened that out Of
the immense number Of acres offered for
sale some days, not more than one or two
quarter sections have been sold for cash.
This fact tells much for the hard times
The lands that will now come in mar
Set embrace some of the finest districts
in Brown, Nemaha and Atcbison conn
ties, and an excellent opportunity is Of
fered for persons to secure beautiful farms
with land warrants.
The second sales at Lecompton close
one week from to-day, after which all the
lands to the thirteenth range, embraced
in the Delaware and Pawnee Land Dis
tricts north and south of the Kaw, will be
open for private entry.-LeaU. Times.

This carries iron to read heat, and of
course softens it. The temperature rises
often with great rapidity. If the water
becomes low, or if it is let in suddenly,
steam of high tension is generated acting
against weakened boilers. This, he had
no doubt, was the true cause of the explo-
sion of boilers.
Prof Henry said that the amount Of
latent and sensible heat in steam was the
same, according to the law discovered by
Daltun. This would lead to most terrible
results when water was allowed TO become
low in boilers. He coincided with the
view presented.
Prof. Silliman said that he had never
had the subject so wildly brought to his
mind as at the present moment, by the
remark Of Prof. Henry. It was, he hsd
no doubt, the true and only cause Of all
explosions. People resorteG to other sub
'erfuges, but this he was satisfied was the
cause. The relations between latent and
sensible heat were such that it was like
kindling another fire in the boiler, above
the one already kindled. Other gentle
men coincided in the opinion advanced

Mob Law.

The N. Y. Times, commenting on the re-
cent riotous proceedings at Baltimore, says:
The history is not very heroic, but is a
history of our own day and of our own
country, and it demands our attention. 1t
is not an isolated history, we are sorry to
say, and it is identical in substance with
many other signs of the times. The infa-
nous way in which petty mobs in our coun-
try villages have recently taken the law
into their own hands; the cowardly on
slaughts of small armies of poltroons, dis
guised and blackened as to their faces, upon
obnoxious individuals, with tar and feathers
and all the paraphernalia of the vulgar
Inquisition, these all drift in one direction.
They indicate not merely the relaxation of
public, but the decay of private fairness and
courage. In this respect they are very
dark and disastrous incidents of our nation
al experience, and it becomes all concerned
to make vigorous effort towards ending
them forever.

Tn. ou..,,on s.,,lsd.

Judge Petit has decided that q. S. sol
dier has no right to vote, under the organic
act, in case which came up before him
recently. A soldier named Montgomery
was tried, found guilty and sentenced on a
charge of Illegal voting. In passing SEN
tence, the Judge expatiated at some length
on the propriety of the law which prohib-
tied this class of persons from voting-a
law obtaining universally-showing what
power it would place in the hands of the
President, whose command Of the army is
entire and absolute, and in the hands of
subordinate officers to control elections, if
no such law existed. The Judge charged
the prisoner to carry his words to his COM
rades at she Fort, and wherever he went,
telling them that their reward for honora-
Bile service to their country was to be sought
in other channels,

ca M. F. Conway is canvassing the
northern counties, in anticipation of the
Topeka Convention, and with reference tc
his own prospects for the Congressional
nomination. He had southern Kansas all
right before, now he is currying favor with
northern Kansas. OF course he viii win
defeat.
His strong argument in favor Of cutting
off the gold region in the formation Of the
new State, is that "the mere mileage of the
members of the Legislature and officers
going to and returning from the State capi-
tai, would more than exceed that of the
whole State government" Giving the gold
region one-tbird of the members Of the
Legislature, thirty-three members, their
mileage, by any fair calculation, would not
exceed $500 each, making total of Sc, 600.
To pretend that this sum would suffice to
carry on the State government, may be a
kind Of political cIap-trap perfectly conclu-
siye to the editor of the Atchison Champion,
but adds no credit to the ability or honesty
Of either Mr.. Conway or his endorser.

Oh. the scoundrel. >,

Oregon and Eli rAay.r.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Recent advices from Ore.
gon assure US of the success of the Ra
publicans in that State. David Logsn
Republican, is elected to be the first Rep.
resentative from the new State in Con.
gress. Two Republican Senators will
soon follow.
| Prior to its admission into the Union
Oregon was ruled by Democratic politi.
clans; principally Office e-holders and other
hired emissaries of the Administration
So great was their power aud influence in
the Territory, that they fondly hoped by
gaining early admission as a State, to
strengthen the Democratic party in Con.
gress. Under this guidance its peculiar
Constitution was framed and applied for
| admission. They expected also the united
opposition of Republicans in Congress, and
thus make the Republican party perms.
nently unpopular in Oregon. The ccntes,
in Congress is fresh in remembrance
The Democratic scheme was working
beautifully. Nearly all the Republicans
IN the House opposed admission Pary
screws were applied to unite al Republi.
cans in opposition, which would defeat tho
Bill.
But the Representative from this dis.
trict, and few others, saw clearly that
the cause of freedom was not thus TO be
advanced. They were fully convinced
that its interests would be best subsery,d
by freeing Oregon from the control Of the
employees of the Administration, and
submitting its government to the people
themselves. Also, as a matter of party
policy, they regretted the Republican op.
silion, believing it would affect adversely
the interests of the Republican party in
Oregon and other western States. Eli
Thayer, in his speech in Congress assured,
the Republicans that "if Oregon be ad.
mitted by their action and thus set free
from the influence of executive patronage,
she would very soon become a Republican
State" but if rejected by their votes she
would be permanently Democratic and
the success of the Republican party else
where imperilled.
Oregon was admitted. The severest
censure was cast upon Mr.. Thayer, be-
cause, to his influence was attributed
and doubtless truly-the success of the
Bill. No objection was more freely ex-
pressed than that his "tr treachery" had in-
creased the Democratic power in Congress.
Long editorials-not in the "Reveille"-
calculated its effect upon the next Prcsi-
dental Election if carried to the House.
Five months have not passed without
demonstrating the political expediency of
his action. The Republican party has
gained immediate strength.
The means used b, the Republicans in
Oregon to gain their recent victory are
worthy of notice. The opposition Of Re-
publcaus in Congress to the admission Of
Oregon was capital for the Democratic
party, and extensively used against the
Republicans in the late election.
But the Republican State Central Com.
mittee of Oregon" issued Eli Thayer's
speeches as campaign documents and cir
culated them extensively among the peo-
pie. David Logan, the Republican noini-
nee, took his stand upon the sentiments
and doctrines enunciated in those speech
es, and 'stumped the State" The result
is known. Oregon is RepuJliean.-COr.

OF Last winter delegation from the
Delaware Indians was at Washington, to
represent the interests of that tribe. Some
one proposed that they should sell out
their lands, have missionaries sent among
them, and settle down as citizens-to save
the white men from being jealous of them,
and keep them from trespassing on their
timber lands, &c.
"Had you not better send missionaries
to civilize the white men ?'' asked the In
dian chief.
The Wyandott Convention thought the
civilized Wyandotts and other Indians
unfit for the civil privileges of American
citizens. It is no wonder the Indians
should ask to have missionaries sent to
civilize the white men.
