Destitution in Kansas.--Appeal for Help

Tho undersigned. citizens of Ksnsas.
would call attention to tho following state.
mont of facts: ...
During tho year preceding the lst inst :.
dreadful drouth has prevailed throughout
the interior of Kansas. A narrow strip
bordering on the Missouri rivsr has had
occasional showers, and has Welded foil
crop. Some othor small and isolated dis
trlcts have also had light showers, and
raised part of crop, But residing. as we
do, in widoly.soparatod localities, we believe
that four.fitths of tho cultivated land in tho
Territory has not yielded tho smallest crop
oil any kind, except n little corn fodder.
In our localities tho best yield OF corn
does not exceed ten bushels to the acre ;
not potato or vegetable of any kind has
been raised gardeus have proved au ontire
failure, although thoy have frequently been
repanted. FiuIs havo been resown in
wheat, then buckwheat, then turnips, and
all a total failure.
From personal observation and inter.
course with people from various localities,
wo are satisfied this is, with the above OK
ceptlons. the condition throughout the
Territory.
The inhabitants havo not old crops on
which to rely for bread. Last years vog.
o'"o'os' VI COuTee, arc consumed, Tho
wheat was either used for seed or ground
for food. Nearly all the old corn has beon
ted out, or was sold last Spring. at from
twenty to twenty-five cents bushel. Not
ono farmer in twenty has peck OF old grain.
Nor Is there money to buy bread. OuI
people have expended oil available means in

We only make those statements because

our adopted homo, aud fearing that the
truth would injure us, the Inhabitants of
hansas have waited through weary months
OF doubt without making known their fears
or their wants. Even now those living in
tho favored localities, above alluded to, write
hopefully of the future.
This drouth is an exception in Kansas
To this fact We have the explicit testimony
of missionaries who have lived there from
fifteen to thirty years.
But the terrible fact confronts us that

Where is South Carolina Going {?

We rather sympathize with South Car
olina, for her experience is similar 10 our
own. We well remember how sorely we
were aggtieved, when boy, by being
denied privileges accorded TO other boys
of our age how we were seldom allowed
to be out late at night, or to attend public
meetings, without parental escort and
how mortified we would become in the
presence of ladies. Though often coun.
se!ed 10 resist, we bore all this meekly,
as South Carolina has borne the op-
preston OF her Northern masters, until il
was no longer bearable, when we made
our declaration OF independence, solemnly
recillng the wrongs which had made us
laughing stock for every high. minded
young gentleman in town, and pedging
our sacred honor that, unless new guar
antics We're made for the future, we should
certainly secede-run away. A parental
council was held, and we were quietly
told to 60, but where we knew not
Things looked decidedly "squally" for a
while, but, suffice it to say, we concIuded
10 await the covert act." So with South
Carolina MIR. Buchanan admits her righr
to peaceOhly secede, and every body says
let her go, bat where on earth is she

To the People Of Ohio.

Our fellow. citizens in largo portions Of
Kansas Territory are threatened with fam
inc. All their crops havo Jailed. Their
prospective destitution is without parallel
IN the history of our country. Tho people
arc without the necessary means to provide
themselves with food for the approaching
winter. Their sad condition appeals to the
charity of tho humane everywhere. God
in His infinite mercy hath blossod the people
of Ohio and Of all tho States of the Union.
Is IL not our duty, out of our abundance.
to supply tho wants of our brothrcn in Kan
sas The 29th inst. has been set apart in
many of tho States by tho proclamaiions Of
thoir respective Executives for tho Thanks
giving offerings of their people. As the
Governor of this State lot mo recommend
that contributions be takon for tho rolicf of
the people Of Kansas in the several churches
of tho State on that day. Let me invoke
tho clergy to call tho earnest attention of
thcr congregations to this work of charity
and lOvo. Whore other suitable arrange.

Gov. Dennison's Proclamation and the
Vote of Ohio.

Tho Plain Dedier and other Douglas or.
gans have circulated the story that, owing
to Gov. Donnison's failure to mako the ro-
quircd Proclamation 60 days before the
Presidential election, tho electoral vote oe
Ohio may be thrown out in tho official count
at Washington. This would not change tho
result it would only reduce the whole num-
bcr of votes to $50, of which Mr.. Lincoln
would be certain of l46, a clear majority of
8. But tho utter absurdity of the story will
appear from the following statement Of tho
Ohio State Journal:
In 1916. Congress, seeing tho OWLS arising
from holding tho elections at different
periods in different States, passed law that
the Presidential Election should be uniform
all over tho Union, and fixing he Tmrsduy
nert after The first Monday Of .NouemJpr US
tho day for voting in all the States This
| substantially repealed all tho State laws on
tho subject. 1t fixed tho time and placed
it beyond tho power of any of tho States to
vary or change it in any respect. Tho only
legislation that was proper, (and that was
not necessarily was to change their lava to
conform to tho laws of Congress. This law
OF Congress merely fixed the day, without
providing for any notice. Our statute had
been permitted to stand except tho change
of timo. In 1913, the Governor of Ohio
made no proclamation iohdteurr. We sup
pose ho regarded tho law of Congress as a
virtual repeal of that requirement. In
1852, tho election of President camc on tho
81 day Of November. Gov. Wood issued
his proclamation on the 27th of September,
being 27 days before tho election. In 1856
Gov. Chnse Issued his proclamation on the
2Oth day of September; tho election was on
tho lth of November, making 4G days notice
Gov. Donnison considering. AS we suppose.
the law OF Congress as substantially dis
pensing with tho necessity CT notice, yet
in dot eronce to tho practice of his immedi
aso predecessor, published his proclamation
en- the l7Ih day of September, being 81
days before the election, thus giving longer
notice than his immediate predecessors.-
" Courts bavo uniformly decided
that the want of notice for the election of
County Officers, &c., by Shoriifs, did not
render their election nullity The law
fixes tho lime and manner of their election,
and it never was tho intontion to give Sher-
IFS or Governors tho power to distranchsc
Counties or States. by either a neglect or
refusal to issue their procIamntions. %.

The New Hungarian Constitution,

Francis Joseph Of Austria, still continues
to promise concessions to the Hungari.
ans, which have verbal seeming of reai.
~ and importance. The new charter
promised partially restores tho Hungarian
nationality in form. and makes the Hun
garian its official language. 1t reviyes also
the Hungarian diet, but does not give it
the right to grant or refuse supplies to the
government, and with this and other
checks upon its influence, the Hungarian
revolutonists insist that It will give the
name of power without the substance
Besides, the diet is not to meet for six
months, and they insist that the whole
thing is desperate resource of the Empe-
ror for Shaving off insurrection, and that
when the crisis is past the Hungarians will
find that they are cajoled as they have
been before. We have yet to learn, there
fore. whether the Hungarians have really
been quieted by the new Austrian artifce,
and meeting OF indignant Hungarians in
Paris, which declares that Hungary can
not be thus deceived, indicates at leas,
the feeling OF the Kossuthans in regard
to compromise with the house OF Haps-
burg. 1t is very important TO Austria to
dispose OF this chronic internal difficulty
before renewing her efforts in Italy, but
her success is exceedingly doubtful.

How Mr.. LINCOLN VoTED.-A dis
patch from Springfield, Illinois, speaking
OF Mr. Lincoln's visit to tue polls to vote,
on Tuesday, says:
Mr.. Lincoln advanced as rapidly as pos.
sible TO the voting table, and handed in
his ticket, upon which it is hardly neces.
sary to say. all the names were Republi-
cans. The only alteration he made was
the cutting off of his own name at the
iop, where it had been printed. AS he
emerged, after voting, from the tempo
rary inclosure, The manifestations Of en-
thusiasm, were frequent, and MIR. Lincoln,
removing his hat, bowed in acknowledge
ment.
