Boz ACRES N THE SESATE.-The SET

given in our telegraph column, will re-
mind the public Of the narrow escape SIR
Lucius O'Trigger met. in his encounter
with the inAammalle Bob Acres. When
Sir Lucius called Bob a poltroOn, that
great warrior made vehement noise, anil

DEMOCRATIC EXTRAvAGASCE.-Th cX-
amples of extravaganza which the Ga.
zctte gives were all the work of the las.
Congress. The popular branch Of that
Congress, the House of Representatives.
which originates all the Navy bills, con-
tainei Republican majority.-E"q.
No well informed person will be DE-
crive, by such reckless statements as the
above 1t is not true that the last Home
Of Representatives contained Republic
can majority" Is our contemporary L.
normt ON this subject. or deliberately
untrnthful ? Neither is it true that thu
Navy appropriations originate with the
House. IN the sense the Enquirer intends,
They are based on the estimates Of Cab
met officer. for whose acts the President is
responsible.
We will 60 step farther. and show
that. were all the Enquirer above alleges
strictly true, it would not in the least al
lcviate tie charges we have laid at the
door Of the Democracy. The Senate
was all the time strongly Democratic. Ii
had full power tn defeat any bill. The
Democratic President had the sane pow
er, in his constitutional veto. In truth.
these appropriations originated in the
Cabinet, passed. House in which no PG-
ty had an absolute majority, as the Ex-
ecutive demands for government expenses
are too apt TO do, rather as a matter Of
course, were concurred in by a strongly
Democratic Senate. and having made
the circuit, received the iinal approval"
Of the President. The party in power
is the one solely accountable. On that
point, the people cannot be cheated

scheme shall be consummated ? Per-
haps they will then wish for the aid Of
White Cloud, to assist them out of the
difficulty.
In conclusion, we request the reader to
get a map of Kansas, and contemplate
the graceful outlines of Doniphan Coun-
to. Is she not beauty, with trunk at
one end and a tail at the other, ike an,
elephant, and all manner Of shapes ina
ginable in the middle ? Would It not
be sin to mar her fair proportions. by
cutting three miles from the upper snout
and attaching it to Blown, merely for the
convenience Of the people Of that part ?
0URsELF AND THE GOLD MISEs.-There
has been considerable grumbling at us.
on account Of the course we have seen
proper to pursue in regard to the gold
mines. Now, our belief in the matter,
does not. need to influence any one else.
If persons wish to go to the mines, let
them go-we cannot prevent them, and
they have no need to sit down and grum-
BILE at us for it. Our disbelief in the
abundance of gold, will not change the
reality one iota. If we are wrong now. it
is not the first time we have been so, and
in all probability will not be the last time.
We shall occasionally publish copious
gold news, leaving those who road them
to believe or disbel;eve them, as they may
choose. They surely can ask no more.
Upon the whole, we would advise all
those who are positive in their belief that
gold is abundant, to go and see for them
selves-they viii not be satisfied until
they do. There is one thing certain
many will go and be disappointed, when
they will curse the newspapers that pub
lished stories to induce them to go; and
others, who stay at home, and hear oil
persons making large hauls, will curse the
papers that published stories which in
duced them to stay away from the mines
LIQUoR LAw.-There has been some
excitement and considerable huttering
hereabouts. within the past week. in con.
sequence of Liquor Law which was
passed by the Legislature. 1t is very Sc.
we're upon both the liquor sellers and the
persons who own the property in which
the traffic is carried on. Heavy fines and
imprisonment are among the penalties fol
violating the law, and offenders can b.
convicted upon complaint before Justices
of the Peace. Owners of property ir
which liquor is sold. are responsible fol-
any damages arising therefrom. Imme.
diately upon receipt of intelligence of the
passage of the law, the Saloon in this
place was wound up by the owners of the
