A Change of Programme.

AS it may not be generally known to our
readers that the naodus operandi in the ma
chinery of county and township government
has been materially changed by law passed
at the late session Of the Territorial Legisla-
ture, we this week call attention to the fact.
By the provisions of the law in regard TO
counties, the Board of Supervisors, as here
tofore constituted, is done away with, and
instead thereof board of three Commits
sioners are to be elected, who are to consti-
tute the tribunal TO transact county business
with powers and duties about the same as
the former Board of Supervisors. This
Board of Commissioners is to be elected
annually at the general election in November;
but for the purpose of putting this machine
ry into operation at once, provision is made
in the law for the election of these Commits
sioners at the March election-fourth Mon
day-who hold their Offices until the first OF
January. 1861, when those elected at the
next general election in November enter
upon the duties of their office.
Under the same regulations, also, a County
Assessor is TO be elected, whose duty it is
to assess the property in the whole county
the office of Township Assessor having
been abolished.
We hope now that our friends will see to
it that the very best men will be elected to
these important offices. There has been
much complainant not without some
cause-of the manner in which our county
and township affairs have been managed
heretofore, and it is desirable, at the ap-
preaching election, to place in office men o.
integrity and worth, who will economically
and carefully conduct the business of the
county.

The Way it Goes.
county

The Legislature passes law to prohibit
slavery in Kansas: Governor Sammedary
vetoes it. The Legislature passes The law
over the veto-and then what? Why, bred
Scott again! The Supreme Court stands
ready to decide that the Constitution of the
United States carries slavery with it into all
the Territories. and hence all laws passed by
the Legislature against slavery are null and
void-because. the Kansas Nebraska bill
declared that its "true intent and meaning was
not to legislate slavery into any State or Ter
ritory, nor 10 exclude it therefrom: but TO
leave tie people thereof perfectly free to folm
and regulate their domestic institutions in
their own way-sn5ect only to the Constitu-
ton of the United States. =

THE HORSE THIEF CHAsE-On Saturday last
six of citizens left Emf oria, in company with
VIM. Coffin, prisoner for evidence, for Centropo-
lis, taking with them horse, pony and mule,
which We're found at Hellers, and supposed to be
stolen property. The object was, if possible. to
obtain possession of Mccormick who was in Gus
tody at the above named place, and bring him
back to Emporia, and warrant was in the pos
session of the party for that purpose. On reach
ing Centropolis, however a trial had-at
Minneola, the county seat of franklin county
in which Mccormick convicted of participa
ton in the robbery of four ponies some three
weeks since at the Sac and Fox Agency-one of
which was proved to be that in the possession of
our party--and he was conveyed to Leayenworth
to await the sitting of the U. s. District Court at
Fort Scott in May next. Mr.. Benson recovered
his other horse, which stolen from this place.
The party also brought back the horse ind mule
which they took up. On their return, {Wednes-
day. meeting was held in this place for an ex-
animation of the prisoner, Coffin at which no
proof found against him, but he is suspi-
cioned pretty strongly, he was ordered, by vote
of the meeting, to leave the county in two days.
Heller is still at large.

Yours, truly,

the Lecompton pets. It has whisky shops
for the accommodation of the officers and
soldiers of the Fort, and Lecompton news
paper, called the Kansas Statesman, edited
ard published by Sammedary, ira pretty
good fellow, by the way. barring his politics
land hence something must be done for
Junction City. So at it they went, cutting
and carving in all sort of shapes to make a
county of which it should be the centre.
and truly they made county with about
as many heads and horns as the beasts that
Daniel saw in his vision, or st. John on the
Isle of Patmos But Junction City is in
the centre, and so it was all right. Since
Oxford and Shawnee and Kiekapoo have
given up the ghost, Junction City is dear to
the heart of our old public functionary as
Benjamin was to Jacob. after Joseph was
sold into Egypt. The new county is called
Davis-in honor of the Hon. jeff. Davis,
who was on the point of Sighting duel
with his colleague, Brown, at last dates.
because Brown intimated that Davis made
Union speeches IN Maine and Disuuion in
Mississippi.

Rooms WASHING MAoHINE.-This is one of the
labor-sayng inventions that is attracting consid.
erblc attention st this day. 1t is indeed valua-
BILE utensil for the household. We cannot give a
better description of it than the following, which
We find in exchange:
"This machine will wash perfectly dozen gar
ments at once, in fifteen minutes, without tearing
or loss of buttons, and lad of ten years work
it. This is accomplished in very simple and
philosophical manner. The clothes put In a
cylinder, which reyolyes in a tub, made tight ex-
cept few holes at the periphery, so constructed
that while the suds admitted in end they
take their exit Mt the other. By using scaidiBg
hot suds the garments undergo thorough steam
ing and szSansiOH pushing all the dirt they contain
the suraee OF each garment, aid is there readily
carried off by the continuous currents of suds
through the cylinder, and their action against the
ribs ON the inside !"
We have examined the opentions of one Of these
machines, nov on exhibition at the Emporia
House, and accord t. it the high praise which il
has every where else received. DR.. c. H. Mack.

CHESTER TnoNAs AND THE REPUBLIcASs.-It is a
little curious to observe the position in which Hon
Chester Thomas has placed our Republican neigh
bors. They openly denounee, charge him with
deception and violation of solemn pledges" etc
The above we find in the Topeka Tribune.
The position may be ''eurious'' in the
ewes of Democratic editor. and of Democ-
racy generally and it would be very '-cu-
rious'' if it were not SO. in these days Of
degenerate Democracy. But until this hour
we were not aware that Mr. Thomas prac-
ticed any deception upon his constituents,
or violated any solemn pledges" nor do
we believe he has. II Mr.. T. made any
.'solemn pledges it is little singular thai
of the nine delegates from this county to
he convention which nominated him, no;
one heard any of them. The course of Mr.
Thomas has been fair and consistent. and
he is entitled TO the thanks of his constit-
uents. al least: and We venture the asser-
ton that he has them from a large majority.

FROM LAWRRNCE.
Correspondence Of The News.

LAWRENCE, Feb. 90, 1860.
Well. the Legislature has adjourned, and
we can now ascertain the results arrived at
by our Solons during a double session of
about sixty days. They passed about seven
hundred and thirty bills, which may be
classified very much as follows: Bridge
charters, i75; ferry charters, 1876; d.
vorces, 100; town interpretations. so; rail-
road charters, Is; mining companies, 80 /;
county lines and county seats, 20; amend
ments. 100; charters. for purposes other
than above mentioned, so; bills of a gem
eral nature, fire. The only laws which will
interest your readers, that can think of,
are the following: County organization,
which provides for the ''three commissioner"
system, and county assessor; road law,
which is free from the objections urged
against the law of last winter !; time for eel
lection of taxes is extended to first of June
revenue bill, at three mills on a dollar,
and fifty cents capitation tax; an act to
provide for new assessment in your coun-
ty, also to provide for a vote on county seat
at the next general election-one section of
which provides 'that no tax shall be levied,
assessed or collected for the purpose of
building county buildings until the county
seat shall; be permanently located according
to the provisions of this act - an act ex--
tending the boundaries of Chase and Butler
counties two miles further east; redemp
ton law, for lands sold under mortgage !; a
usury law. making any rate of interest
higher than go per cent. illegal. A com
mittee was appointed to procure the print
ing and distribution of the general laws at
an early day. A desperate effort was made
to take off three miles from the south side
of your county and attach it to Madison.
Mr.. Elliott, of Breckenridge, voted in favor
of it. A bill passed both houses, almost
unanimously, upon the solicitation of A. L.
Baker and others, extending the eastern
boundary of Morris county two miles. All
parties in and out of the Legislature agreed
TO it, but after its passage, the same parties
who were so anxious for its passage went to
the Governor and begged him not to sign it,
and he didn't. The Governors vetoes have
been strictly partizan in every instance, SO
FAR as can recoliect. He makes no preten-
sions to being the Governor of the people
of Kansas, hut only that portion of them
styling themselves Democrats, and even
with them he diseriminates in favor of those
who swear the hardest and drink the most
whisky. In other words, the old Border
Rufian element rules him.
It is generally understood, believe, that
each Territorial Legislature makes its prede
cessor respectable by contrast. That the one
which has just closed its labors land follies)
may be the last which shall meet in this our
fair land, is the. earnest wish of all true men
of all parties. as well as of

Attempted Assassination.

An eyewitness informs US of most dis
graceful scene which transpirei in the
House of Representatives last Saturday
evening. Mr.. Cornwell, Of johnson county.
accused S.sN.s Wood, of Chase county. OF
suppressiDg part of bis report as Chair
man of the special committee on Claims.
After the charge had been twice made, Mr..
Wood replied that the charge was false,
whereupon cornwell rushed upon Wood with
a drawn dirk. and struck at him twice. AT
the second stroke, Wood caught the hand
holding the dirk, and would have inflicted
the chastisement SO richly deserved, but
other parties interfered, and disarmeG Corn
well, when he and Sims, and one or two
ately left the House.
On Monday morning Cornwell sent in
what he termed an apology, but what was
in fact greater. insult to the House than
the assault. He only apologized TO that
portion of the House, a minority, which
acted with him. and said they we're the on
ly ones ''entitled to respect" thus directly
insulting the Speaker and majority of the
House.
A motion was made,to accept the apology
"a in full satisfaction for the insult of Sat
urday night, which motion was carried by
one majority-a sufficient number of bas-
tard Republicans voting with the Border
Rufians to carry it.
Here is list of the sneaking towards
who digest one insult b. swallowing anoth-
er-who voted to sustain the man who at
tempted to murder one of their own mem
bers before their eyes: Gaze, Elliott. Can
milf, Fitzpatrick and iStesOard. We hope
the people of the country will remember
these men, so that should they have occa-
sion to use a sneoking puppy. they may
know where to find one. We are glad to
hear that the apology was erpunged from
the journal, by a vote of the House, before
the adjournment
