Mr.. Parrot telegraphed to Leavenworth.
on the 18th inst, announcing tbs passage
through the Lower House of Congress OF
the bill for the admission of Kansas, under
the Wyandot Constitution, by q majority Of
sixky.
The bill has now gone to the Senate, and
will be pushed to vote in that body at an
early day-though probably not until after
the Charleston Convention. The fate of
the bill in the Senate is still involved in
some doubt. Only twenty seven Senator'S
are kno,On to be committed in favor OF the
bill. though its friends count with much
certainty upon four more. But even with
them there would be only thirty one for TO
thirty three against. We are of the oP'n-
ion, however. that the emphatic vote Of the
House, including as it did most of che
Northern Democratic members, will have
good effect upon the Senate. and that few
weeks more will see Kansas State in the
Union

A; majority of the Republican party of
Kansas undoubtedly prefer the nomination
of Gov. Seward as the Republican candidate
for the Presidency. It is also true that a

mont. Now would it not have been good
policy. as well as simply just, that this
minority should have had one representative
at least in the Chicago delegation
There is very serious discussion now
going on in the ranks of the Republican
party as to the strength of the various can
didates proposed. The Republican who
stands the best chance of carrying the
doubtful States is the one to be nominated.
In determining the question, personal pref
erences have nothing to do, whatever; and
the friends of all the aspirants, being need,
ed to carry the election of whom is nomi-
mated, should have hearing. If it is te
be this or that man or nothing, then the
party may as well prepare for a defeat. But
if men are considered only as means O
securing the triumph of a principle, success
is measurably certain.
The Republican party of Kansas is-young
yet, and has many things to learn. One o
the most prominent of these is, to let per.
sonal quarrels alone and stick to the legiti
! mate business for which it was organized
It may. perhaps. take good drubbing tC
learn il these things. If SO, it might q:
well take il sooner as later.

The editor of the Americas Sentinel in
the last issue of that sheet savagely accuses
US of disappearing his 'fwell known"
political position. AS we don't happen to
know what Mr.. Kenyon's "weH known"
political position is at present, he must be
mistaken. Last fall he was rabid Repub-
lican; last winter he edited the Sentinel
while it was the organ of the Buchanan De-
mocracy of this portion of Kansas, and noO
having passed through all the. stages of de-
cided Republicanism and rampant Democ-
racy. he appears to be in about the posi-
ton of Phenix's Joe Bowers who, when
running for Office in one of the western
States, was asked by party committee.
"Mr. Bowers, what are your politics 90
To which he replied, "Genllemen have
no politics. What exclaimed the COM
mittee in surprise, ono politics go mo.

Gang Of Horse Thieves Broken Up.
For several months past company of
men have been organizing in Topeka with
great parade. for emigration to the Mexican
State of Sonora The Topeka papers gave
them columns of fulsome eulogy-endorse-
ments as to good character, &c. The com
pany numbered nearly twenty-aud one
day last week made It's FINAL departure from
Topeka, followed by: the regretful good
wishes of the citizens. The day after their
departure several valuable horses were
missed from the vicinity of Topeka. and
suspicion was most unaccountabiy directed
to the pulled and feted Sonora company.
The Sheriff of Shawnee county, with a
numerous posse, Immediately started in pur-
suit. The company in the meantime had
separated, doubtless with the intention Of
securing the whole country and running off
the CORRESPONDING together again at some
appointed rendezvous in the Indian country
to the southwest The Sheriff's posse fol-
lowed the trail of portion of the gang, and
overlook and captured three of them on
Mill Greek, in Waubensa county. and re-
covered FIVE stolen horses. The thieves
were taken back to Topeka and lodged in
Jail. The Deputy Sheriff, with posse of
eight men, following up another portion of
the gang, overlook, and arrested three of
them at Waterloo, in this county, on Sat-
urday last. LEAVING them in the charge of
portion of his posse, the Deputy Sheriff
came on to Emporia Saturday evening. ho
ping to overtake more of the gang, beliey-
ing, from what he had learned that the gen
eral rendezvous towards which they were
all making was on the Walnut, to the South
west of this place Not finding any trace
of them in this nieghborhood, on Sunday
morning he retraced his steps to Waterloo
leaving description of one Stewart, one of
the leaders of the gang, with some of our
citizens. About an hour after they started
on their return, man answering to the des-
cription of Stewart, came out of the woods
on the Neosho. near Mr.. Lloyd's, and start
ed in the direction of Waterloo, evidently
going to meet his comrades. Mr.. Lloyd
came Immediately to town and left the in
formation with Constable Rickabaugh, who
Immediately started after the supposed thief,
arrested, and took him to Waterloo where
he was identified. and taken into custody by
the Deputy Sheriff, who took the whole
gang back to Topeka.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to
the Sheriff of Shawnee county, and his
Deputy. in thus promptly breaking up so
formidable gang of thieves before they
had fairly commenced their marauding OPP
erations. The prompt action of Constable
Rickabaugh too, was of material service.
Kansas is rather a ''hard road to travel"
for such gentry-still there are entirely too
many of them yet at large for the good of
the community.

The following is one of the sections of a
law recently passed b: the Wisconsin Leg
islature
SEC. /. There shall hereafter no final execution
be issued, upon any judgment rendered upon any
action for the recovery of money due or owing. by
reason of any contraet. expressed orimped, either
for principal or costs.
This of course applies to all debts con-
tracted after the passage of the act. The
effect will be to practically abolish the cred
it system. IF the credit system is bad,
then the act of the Wisconsin Legislature
is good one; but if the credit system is
good. and ought to be extended, why then
this act is wrong. That's the whole ques-
ton.
