CONGRESS AND THE Contractors.
Washington, Jan. 13.-The contractors
for constructing public works, for which
Congress failed to make appropriations
at the last session. are here in force to
urge upon Congress the necessity of inn
mediate organization. The payments
may be made for materials delivered
under their various contracts. They
are said to be suffering more than the
mail contractors. An effort is making
tonight to concentrate the Democratic
vote upon Mr.. Boteler of Virginia. Il
is said assurances have been given that
81 Democratic votes can be thrown fol
him.

Kansas Overlooked.


We have called attention TO the Pres.
dents singular omission from bis Messas.
of all reference to Utah, whose anoma,.
Gus condition now interests all lovers NJ

as significant, relates to Kansas. Two
years ago Mr.. Buchanan was urgent for
the admission of this territory into the
Union as State. When once admit.

with or without slavery, the excitement
beyond her borders will speedily pass
away, and she viii then, for the first time
be left, as she ought to have been long
since, to manage her own affairs in her
own way" What argument which then
led fairly to this conclusion, has not been
immensely reinforced by events as they
now stand !? Then Kansas had about
10000 inhabitants, and now she has more
than double that number. Then political
dissensions convulsed her community
and now they have disappeared before
the accepted decisions of the ballot-box.
Then she was forced before Congress
with constitution to which an immense
majority of her citizens were invincibly
opposed, and row she comes voluntarily,
with a constitution which has received
the deliberate endorsement Of the people.
who have also elected a complete set Of
State officers.
Why, then, should not the President
favor her admission? Itmay be said that
she has not taken census Of her popula-
ton as required by the last Congress-
But the same Congress that imposed the
requisition, refused to grant the means
as it was within its power and duty to
do-by making an appropriation for the
purpose. This absolves the Territory,
were there any rational foundations for
this new distinction. But there is not.
The same Congress that proposed to take
in Kansas with $4,000 inhabitants, adj
mitted Democratic Oregon with $4,000.
Neither Delaware nor Florida to-day
have so many white inhabitants as Kan
sas. The attempted distinction is a
sham, originated for partisan purposes, as
the utterly inconsistent record of those
who coucocted it abundantly shows, To
insist upon il is to deny the plainest JUS
tice TO a thriving community, which, by
its own patriotism against border inter
ference and executive oppression, has
worked IFS way up from anarchy and
misrule, 10 peace, good order and general
prosperity. 1t has vindicated itself from
every aspersion with which the Demo,
cratic press has teemed since the free
State citizens first determined to resist
the outrages of the Border Ruf1ians; and
it now knocks at the door Of the Union
with the sympathy of every man in thu
country who loves fair dealing and take.

E The editor of the Brandon VaSit-
or, in commenting upon the outspoken
manner in which he has endeavored to
treat all subjects which he has thought
best to notice, says that in nearly three
years "only two subscribers have felt so
aggreved as to order a discontinuance of
their paper" and adds:
We hope that all our readers will
remember that if at any time they may
feel injured by anything we print, or
that we may ourself write and publish,
the columns of the T5Sitor are open for
disclaimer, correction or defense. One
of the most striking eyidences of small
mind is to get angry at a real or fa'scied

Answers to Problem.

Mr.. EDIToR,-Win you please 10 in
sert in your columns the answer to the
mathematical problem, or puzzle, found
in your paper of last week ?
Mr. Pedagogus: understand the log.
you spoke of to be 80 inches in diameter,
which term denotes distance through its
centre from circles opposite. You say
A, B. and G are to saw it off, and you
wish to know how much of the diameter
the saw, or A saw must do TO do its
equal share. Now if we consider the
saw to take the place of D, he will do
one fourth, which is Z IL inches. 9th
erwise, if we can but believe we never
saw saw saw as that saw sawed, then
will we decide the work accomplished
with the saw with the aid of A, B, & C.
A. SCHOLAR.
Coventry, Jan. 16.
Mr.. EARLE,-Dear Sir-Having no
ticed a problem in your paper, with the
request of an answer from some of your
mathematical subscribers, I will forward
the following answer:
A would saw 11-46447 inches.
B would saw 7-07106 inches.
G would saw 11-46447 inches.

one of his popular concerts to a very full

as well as ever and appeared to good ad-

take this method of expressing their
gratitude to their friends in Glover, South |
Troy, and vicinity, for their recent pas

ceived at their hands.
Thursday the 18th instant being
beautiful day, we had the privilege of
sitting down to tea under our own roof,
with some sixty or seventy persons, most

were greeted with the presence of a good
houseful of the young people of Glover,
whose smiling, happy faces added plea
sure to the occasion.
Saturday afternoon and evening, by
previous arrangement, we were permit
ted to greet large concourse of friends,
old and young, for like purpose. Mr.
Flint, proprietor of the public house,
kindly offered his large and spacious hall

Both at Glover and at South Troy we
received liberal presents in provisions, in
clothing, and money. The nice broad

furnished for Mrs. Severance, especially
were received at most acceptable time,
nay, all of the gifts were very opportune
and acceptable, for which we most heart
lily thank the generous donors, ever ho-
ping to merit their respect and esteem.
