How the Registry Law Work..


Sheriff Walker offered his vote last
Tuesday at the Lawrence polls, but it was
refused. He had been registered in Le-
compton township, had recently removed
to Lawrence, and had neglected to be reg.
istered. Many Others were cut off from
voting by the operation of the registry
law. Voters who have not been regis.
tered should see to it that they apply per-
sO''aRy at the Office of the township clerk
for registration on the 18th or 11th day
before the December election.
The law is defective 80 far as prevent
ing frauds is concerned, from the fact that
1t does not require the voters of each cleo
ton precinct to be registered separately.
The main end of the registry law is to
prevent the importation of voters from
one precinct to another, yet the defective
registration Of this township does not set
up any bar against the importation of
voters from one precinct to another, nor
from the township outside of the city, at
city elections. This requires the same
process Of challenging, to prevent illegal
voting, as when there was no registry
law.
The township clerk can remedy this
deficiency BY classifying the voters &C.
cording to their residence in the CITY or
out of it, and in the different precincts.
Let US have a fair registry, an effective
registry law, or none at all.

Give ms the Eacts

The Estate Record' tells about Old
John Browns wife and family, who came
to Kansas; were broken up, and their
homes destroyed. Will the editor tell us
the particulars about that affair, since he
seems to be posted Z? Our understanding
always has been that he never brought
any "wife or family" to Kansas, and that
his home was with his SONS while here !;
that he came here, as he stated at Har-
per's Ferry, "because of the difficulties" {"
and that here would have been the last
place in the world for such man to have
brought family when on such mission.
Please post us and the public fully on this
subject; for, since the name of Old John
Brown is to fill an important page in his
tory, it is but just that we should have the
facts. Redpath says we owe our freedom
in Kansas more to "Old John Brown than
to any other living man." If the horrid
massacre on Pottawattamie creek, or the
running of of slaves from Missouri has
given us freedom, then let us know all
about the man that we may sing peans to
his memory, and erect monument to per-
petuate his fame.

caugh, In their own rrap.

The Leavenworth Register takes occa-
sion, in late issue, to deny that the Leg
islature of the Territory of Kansas have
any right to organize counties on Indian
lands, and asserts that such organizations
are illegal. On this ground it denies the
people of Arapahoe county the right to
be represented in the Territorial Legisla-
ture, and to participate in the Delegate
election.
If the position be a correct one, no Ter
ritorial organization can take place until
the United States has extiDguished the
Indian titles in the Rocky Mountains
Till that event takes place no counties
can be organized or elections held. The
voting which has been had for Terrific
rial organization, and for Delegate to
Congress, has no show of law, and is less
worthy of the attention of the Territorial
authorities and of Congress, than any vote
which may be cast under the election
laws of Kansas.

Or In moralizing upon duelling the
Chicago Press and Tribune informs us how
the law became dead letter in Illinois,
by reviving the hrst and only duel ever
fought in that State. In the year 1920, AL
phonso Stewart and VIM. Bennett fought
with rifles in St. Clair county, and Stew
art fell mortally wounded on the first fire.
Bennett made his escape into Arkansas,
where heremained two years. His where
abouts was discovered, he was arrested,
brought back, indicted, tried, convicted of
murder and executed. Governor Bond
was besieged days and weeks by the bar
barisn disciples Of the code, clamoring
for the wretch's pardon. But he closed
his doors against petition and sutresty,
and VIM. Bennett dangled at ropes end
in the presence ofsome thousands Of spec
tatou, who took in great moral lesson.
This was the FIRST and last duel ever
fought on the soil Of Illinois, aud it effec-
tually crushed out all respect for the
bloody code in that State.

How Lane Triumphed.

Phillips described Lane as working
nervously with the means by which the
political lever is now moved"-means
characterized by Lane himself as skull
duggery," which he de6ed any one to
beat him at. Lane rallied the rowdies
through the day, and graced with his
presence the drunken revel in which they
engaged on Saturday night, after the pri-
mary election. He had voters present
from other townships, Clinton particular
ly, thus himself perpetrating an invasion
of the polls as vile as that of the Border
Rufisns. and probably gained his majori-
ty by such fraudulent voting. By dint
Of money, promise Of Office, liquor. and
fraud. he triumphs, and then claims that
it is due to the gratitude of the people.

Navigation of .hs Kav.

We are informed that Nj. Valentine,
the enterprising and successful steamboat
man of the Missouri, has recently COM
pleted critical examination Of the Kan
sas river, descending in small boat from
Fort Riley to Wyandott. and has deter
mined to commence its navigation in the
spring. He has already two boats in pro-
cess Of construction at Wyandott City for
that purpose.
Mr.. Valentines thorough knowledge Of
the navigation Of Western rivers. besides
his eminent qualifications in other re-
spects for the business, will contribute
materially to the success Of the enterprise.
and we confidently anticipate that the
next season viii witness the regular pas
sage of boats from the mouth to the re-
motest business settlements Of the Kan
sas valley.-State Record.

CONWAY.


We received a letter a few DAYS ago
from NJ. F. Conway, evidently designed
for publication, in answer to charges made
against him in the last number of the
HERALD OF FREEDOM. His letter was put
in type, to appear in this issue, with an
editorial calling particular attention to it;
but we observe that Mr.. c. preferred that
his communication should first appear in
the columns of cotemporary, where we
found it last Thursday morning. As we
are unwilling to lower the dignity Of the
press, in the manner we should be COM
pelled to, BY virtually copying an article
directed to our paper from a neighboring
sheet, we have thrown it aside.
We were glad to see Mr.. Conway's de-
NAL of any completely with the Harpers
Ferry tragedy, and only regret that his
own action in the premises will forbid us
the pleasure of giving the public the ben
eft of that denial through the columns of
the paper in which the charge originated.

The KEY.

The Republican press of the country,
though generally denuncia:ory of the con-
duct of Old John Brown, in Virginia, yet
are determined to make party capital out
Of him, by claiming that he is a monoma-
MAC, made such by outrages committed
on his family by the slave power>in Kan
sas. We have shower, by articles in our
last two issues, that if Old John Brown
was not of sane mind, his lunscy COM
menced anterior to his setting foot on
Kansas soil, and that he had no provoking
causes extended to himself or family, un.
til more than three months after the aw-
ful murders in which he was engaged on
Pottawattamie creek.
Old John Brown is q religious zealot.
After his massacre of the Wilkinsons and
Doyles, his whole manner changed and,
according to Redpath, lie became taciturn,
avoided conversation on the subject of
those murders, particularly, and Stunned
society. Like the Crusaders, who rushed
to Palestine to rescue the Holy Sepulchre
from the Saracens, to appease an offended
God for some real or supposed guilt, So
he wished to wipe out the Pottawattamie
massacre from his mind, appease his con-
science, and reinstate himself, as far as
possible, in the good opinion of Heaven.
To do this he set about freeing the slaves
of the South. He believed he was doing
Gods service while engaged in that act,
SO he was desirous of accomplishing all
in his power to Offset against his crimes
in Kansas.
The above is the only rational explana-
ton Of Old John Browns penchant for
running off slaves, and we believe fur
nishes the key to all his movements in
Kansas, or out of it, since that horrible
night alluded to.

OF "Hurrah for Jim Lane, he furnish
es the liquor" was the shout from dozens
of drunken throats in Lawrence last Sat
urday night. Lane has connected him.
self with the Msthodists, apparently to
gain influence with that highly respecta-
BILE and Christian denomination. He
joined the Good Templars, probably, to
accomplish the same object; but if his
drunken supporters are to be credited in
their bacchanalian shouts, he Furnished
the liquor to secure the votes Of the
bhoys. Shame on such Methodists, and
shame on such Good Templars.

Southern Nsbraska

Nearly all the Republican journals in.
sisted that Southern Nebraska was intense.
" Democratic, and its annexation would
overbslance the Republican strength Of
Southern Kansas. Tho delegates from
that section to the Wyandott Convention

Marshal, returned to our city on Saturday
last, after an absence Of some two weeks
in Southern Kansas, upon sn official visit.
Maj. Castleman travelled over four hun

number was Captain james Montgomery,
whom the Major arrested without posse or
guard, and without difficulty. Had the
conciliatory course, used BY Major c.. been

The Late Contest.

Occupying something more than half
way independent position we are lately
frequently led to "smile" over the posi-
tions of partisans and politicians. Indeed
those whose risible muscles are not affect
ed in these times have no occasion to
remain on this mundane sphere. There
is no mistake but Jim Lane, last Saturday,
triumphed over both the HERALD OF
FEkEDoM and Lawrence Republican Offices,
and in spite of the entire opposition from
nearly every business house in town, and
that with one hundred and three majority.
1t is reported, how truthfully we don't
undertake to say, that the Lane party
rolled barrel of lager beer on the ground,
and that it was freely used by many of
his supporters. We do knotc that drunken
men were in the street that night, halloo-
ing "Hurrah for Gen. Lane, for he furnish
es the liquor" We know, further, that
the "b'hoys," as Lane calls them, stood
with him, and labored in his service all
day. The best argument which he and
his friends employed was the assertion
that those who were opposing him had
arranged to nominate, with others, LYMAN
ALLEN and G. W. DEITzLER for the Sem
ate, and T. Dwight Thasher for the House,
With s. o. Thacher as a candidate for the
judiciary the party began to feel that it
was being piled on little too thick-the
selection of four nominees for lucra-
tive offices out of one house in Lawrence.
We are led to believe that the prejudice
which the people felt towards T. Dwight
Phacher, and the consciousness that he
seems to desire to monopolize all the
Offices under the State government, did
more to give Lane the ascendsncy than
his personal popularity with the "b'hoys," /"
his lager beer, or his Methodism, which
his enemies say is assumed for the time to
serve him political purpose.

v..a,.sua K.a.s. xi.,.rr,

A correspondents of the n. 7. Tribune,
over the signature of .'Pennsylvania Re
publican" attempts to correct the mis-
statements Of the press, relative to Old
John Brown, and yet is guilty Of as gross
errors as were the papers which he pre-
tends to correct. Old John Brown did
not emigrate to Kansas from Pennsylvs-
mia. No son of his was driven all the
way from Osawatomie to Tecumseh, where
he died. On the contrary, he was carried
from Paola in q Government baggage
wagon, with several other prisoners, who
had hearing before Judge HooGLAND
and all of them were discharged or held
to bail, but John Brown, Jr., and Il. q.
Williams. Neither of these gentlemen
died On the contrary, Williams is now
Sheriff of Lykins county, and John
Brown, Jr., who is the one represented to
have died, is now residing in Ohio, and
figures occasionally in the Harper's Ferry
correspondence as u. B., Jr," from
West Andover, Ashtabula county, o.
Old John Brown never had house in
Kansas, we presume, but lived with his
sons. We never heard of any "insult" to
any of the women of Browns family
and doubt the correctness of that state.
ment.
The 14th of September, 1856, the time
when the army of 2,7OO men, unde,
Reid, was marching into Lawrence, there
were not to exceed 200 men, all told, in
town. Old Brown did taks partial COM
mand of the inside defenses, but he did
not lead the Free State forces with Sharp's
rifles, against the advance forces of 300
of the enemy.
The representation that there were 500
men in town eager for the frav; that Old
John Brown felt sanguine of our success,
and all that sort Of thing, is mere bosh.-
Maj. ABBOTT was first in command. Capt.
Walker, with 27 horsemen, and the Wa
baunsee Rifles, numbering about 40 men,
sailed out to meet the 800 horsemen, and
their exhibition of determination to re-
sist the invasion, was all that saved us
from complete route before Gov. Geary,
with Col. Cookies battery, arrived, which
was at about 9 O'Clock that evening.
To read the letters of Eastern cores
pondents, and editorials in leading jour.
nails, one would suppose there was no per-
son else in Kansas during our difficulties,
save Old John Brown and his sons
While we are willing to do full justice to
the bravery and honorable bearing of most
of the sons, we must repeat that Kansas
would have been infinitely better off if il
had never been disgraced by the murders
and the violence Of Old John Brown.
