psqFreqneue complaints are made, with some
slight fsilOW of reason, that the postal faeili4
ties OF the iTerFitory might be improyed.---
This deem unreasonable, inasmuch as we
now are able to receive letters In the same
yeerein which they are written, (if we ever
do get them atsall, and the postmasters and
malsboys in our neighboEing State of Mis-
souri, eonfine our losses solely to such letters
ssaNe have been big enough fools to have
registered.ulA few dollars of = Gosport cur
rency, - sentby mail, registered as above;
mighEperhaps remedy the evil, inasmuch
as the delinquent would find himself far
worse of with such funds con hisT hands
than he was before. Still, if the evil should
BOT be abated within "a reasonable time, /
Wohld suggest that the Atlantic Cablesb be
submerged on dry land, so that ie shall have
a station at each Post Office in the Territos

lstruction--in cooperation with Cyrus w.

purpose of carrying the wire across lots. 4t
F. Your attention is called to an act in reia-
tion to g Counties and County officers, 2
Fallowing them bounty for the destruction
of noxious animals. From complaints made
in regard to the destruction of property and
I the peace and quiet of the citizens. direct
your attention to the 'sPatent Animal Trap, -
for the annihilation of skunks, 'possums,
stray hogs, bed-bugs, and loafers; and
would suggest further, that purchase be
made of all the refuse cooking utensils, for
the removal of certain dogs, that congregate
in large bodies, at late hours of the night;
and further. that each citizen be supplied
with cart load of waste bricks from the
capitol, to be used in giving warm recep-
/ tions to the overssffectionate grimalkins that
infest the neighborhood, and make night
hideous with their caterwaulings. 15
Complaints are made of Territorial and
County officers, that they do not hold their
offices at such places as are designated by
law. IF the power were given to me-the
Executiye-to kick them out of Office when
see fit, it would soon cure the evil, or
make it a dog gone sight worse.
- AS Agriculture must always be the pre-
dominating interest in the Territory, l would
suggest law encouraging the promulga-
ton of hemp, and the raising of niggers,
and the various divisions of agricultural la
Dor be confined principally to the land

From official records it appears that the
amount of land sold and pre-empted in the
different Districts amounts to considerable,
| if not more. Although the sum total is a
! big figure, much more could be done to in
crease the business of the District Offices.
| The large tract of the Miami Lands could
be brought into market by mere scratch
of Governmental pen, but Government, like
all other large and indolent bodies, is per-
haps too lazy to scratch. The application
of cow-itch might be attended with benef-
cial effects, and is certainly well worthy OF
your consideration.
The most extensive and valuable tracts oi
land IN The Territory, are still in the pos
session of the Indians, who surround us,
and are becoming as t'hostile as wolf. %
Every remedy having been exhausted to ex-
/ tinguish their title to the same, without
avail, the awful and only alternative now
left is to extinguish the Indians themselves
Ny mind has been seriously exercised in
trying to suggest to you some plan to effect
this, most expeditiously. A liquid called
s.kiH-a-mile," has been tried, but which has
Eonly served to make them ''fat and saucy.''
Reading of late, report of a celebrated
chemist, the much desired plan Is present
ed, which will accomplish the object most
/ completely. The introduction of the mild
and aperiently harmless ''Seidletz Powders
into use among them as beverage, will
work wonders. They should be taught to
take each paper alternately, and You viii
perceive at once, that efervescenee taking
place internally, as soon as the component
parts of the powder came in contact with
leach other, before they can catch theil
breath, they viii burst into thousand pie
ees. Sad will be their fate, but their bones
will remain a monument of once proud
and happy people!
J It is due to you, who have done enough
for your country, that each should have al
least section of land as a reward, and this
is the more desirable, as each section would
have the advantage of mill seat. if there
was only a plenty of water. To obyiate the
lack of water power IN the Territory, you
viii do well to consider the propriety of ne
gociating for the purchase of Niagara Falls
to be placed in some central place, for IN
stance, Minneola. and worked ~ steam
and have the power conducted over all the
Territory by means of gutta percha betting
and leather FIRE buckets. recommend thi:
to your very careful consideration.
/ For time Kansas has been remarkably
quiet and well behaved, but I fear that cir
Icumstanees are tending to make the Neec
