sUFFERINGS IN KANSAS.

Thaddeus Hyatt gives an extreme picture of
the destitution existing in Kansas In letter to
President Buchanan he says: Thousands of once
thrifty and prosperous American citizens
perishing for want. Winter is upon them; Of
clothing they are nearly beret food they have not
to last them through the cold season that is ap-
preaching. OF hundred thousand people
upon Kansas soil six months ago. at least one
fourth or onethird have left of the remainder it
is safe to say that forty thousand at this moment
see nothing but exodus starvation at the end
of the sixty days now before them; from ten to
twenty thousand look with only despairing eyes
upon November; thousands cannot subsist month
longer unaided, other thousands are living upon
the little which their neighbors deprive them
selves of to give to them-neghbors equally un-
fortunate, and with whom starvation is merely
question Of but few days longer while still other
thousands, if not at once relieved, must perish
from hunger the diseases that follow in its train
Some have already died, others are daily dying;
while the hours grow darker and the days longer
for the living to whom relief comes not, and whose
eyes aching with watchings for the succor that
delays.
| Such is doubtless, truthful picture of the re-
suit of the labors of the abolition emigration aid
societies, to shape the institutions of Kansas
| New England preferred to have them. These
starving creatures neither more nor less than
| the sweeping of the cutters of Northern towns,
villages and cities, who, without the least fitness
for successful life on the frontier, transported
| by thousands to Kansas on the money raised by
the New York Tribune, Henry Ward Beecher,
ct al, to accomplish political end at war with the
| spirit of the Constitution. They of the class
with whom Ossawatomie Brown worked there
The work of that description being over in Kan
sas, they art no longer of value to the emigrart
aid societies, who have turned them out to starve.

! THE VoTE.-For the first time in several years
our Opposition friends manifest passion for lead
pencils and figuring. They are stuffed with the
notion that they will run right through the South
ern States in the Democratic fssure-in fact, that
the crack will open wide enough to pass them dry
| footed through the red Of popular majority
| against them. Some of them request that we pub
ish the popular vote Of the Southern States at the
last Presidential election. Here they have it ac-

GOOD ADVICE.

|
Those who wish to do good, but hesitate to do
it, would do well to read the following The reas-
on may be suggested to them by the perusal
Do not delude yourself with the idea that you
can please everybody. Who ever knew any body
that was worth anything that had nobody to find
fault with him? You would have to do evil in
many cases to please the evil 1atter some to graft
iy their pride indulge the selfish, submit to the
tyrannica be tool for the ambitious and be care
full not to have anything as good as those who de-
sire to have everything superior to their neghbors
If you are public man be diligent, you must ex-
pect to have many secretly dislike you and talk
against you for your success; and if you accomplish
little, though many show themselves friendly it
often leaks out that some who appear pleasant to
you, can do thus because they do not fear your ri
valry-they can smile upon you outwardly, and
yet entertain contempt for your inefhciency. AL
ways do that which is right, be diligent, do the
most you can, pay no regard to fault-fnders and
you will find as many friends as any sensible man
need desire
WOMEN IN ADMINISTRATIONS should be
more trusted and confded in as wives, mothers
and sisters. They have quick perception of right
and wrong, and, without knowing always why, read
the present and future, read characters and acts,
designs and probabilities, where man sees no letter
or sign What else do we mean by the adage
"mother w.t., save that woman has quicker per-
ception than man? How often, when man aban-
dons the helm in despair, woman scizes it, and
carries the ship home through the storm. Man
often lives from home and family to avoid impend-
ing poverty or ruin. Woman seldom, if ever for
sock home thus Woman never evaded mere tenn
poral calamity by suicide or desertion. The proud
banker rather than live to see his poverty gazet-
ted, may blow out his brains and leave wife and
children to want, protectorless. Loving woman
would have coons eled him to accept poverty and
Woman should be couns eled and confded in.
1t is the beauty and the glory of her nature, that
it instinctively grasps at and clings to the truth
and right. Reason, mans greatest faculty, takes
time to hesitate before he decides; but woman's in
stinct never hesitates in its decision and is
ly wrong where it has even chances with reas-
on. Woman feels where thinks, acts where
he deliberates, hopes where he despairs, and tri-
umphs where he falls-Nat. american.

THE CENSUS OF VERMONT. The returns
come in slowly, but sufficient dates have al
ready been received upon which to predicate
the assertion that the population of Vermont
has materially diminished during the last dec
ade. The 16 towns named in the ITttair OF
last week, lose 1893 Caledonia County loses
399: Franklin County loses 1919; and Wind
sor County loses 1867. Total loss thus far
443S. The total population Of tie State in
1850 was 3l4,l2O. 1t is not probable that
its present population will exceed 100000
The first practical political result OF this de-
crease will be the loss of one Member of
Congress. Hereafter this State will be enti'
tied to only two members Of the House OF
