the trouble-breeders will attempt revo-

with internal commotion, surprising the
Dorr rebellion in Rhode Island, for the
public mind is more excitable now than
at that time; more to be deplored than
the conflict between Gamble and Jackson
in Missouri, for that is between loyalty
and treason, while ours would be q wal

On Saturday morning the Monticello

The rebel steamers were also landing
troops to cooperate with them. They
were within easy range. and the Monti-

Eve second fuse. two hundred and eigh-

great execution. The Confederates tried
at first to shelter themselves, but soon

upon their vessels. A she'll passed through

already employed against us. 1t is
thought their loss must have reached be-

had been taken prisoner, managed to es-

The Banking Law.

Inc EiW00Q + rec freS6 u OUT aSainst
the Banking Law, and urges upon the
people to vote it down. As this is q
subject of some considerable Importance.
one would naturally suppose that weighty
reasons would be given in support of the
advice. Not so, however. The Free
Press gives as the only reason for its po-
sition, that the State is impoverished and
cannot afford Banks, and the public has
been swindled by Banks in Missouri and
several other States. Because the Mis-
souri, traitors have stolen the school mon
ey and alms-house funds, we presume the
people of Kansas should also vote down
free schools and benevolent institutions.
And we have never before heard that be-
cause people were poor. paper money was
q damage to them more than at any 9TH
er time. In fact, when the currency is
all in hard metal, it is grabbed up and
boarded away in vaults, safes, and old
stoeking-legs hidden deep down in heavy
oaken chests. and the poor get to handle
very little of it, particularly in times
OF money pressure. like the present. Be-
sides, the law does not compel the people
of Kansas to establish Banks. if they are
too poor to do so; nor to receive even the
best Of paper in business transactions, if
they object to it. The Constitution Of
tho United States expressly prohibits the
States from making anything but gold
and silver legal tender.
Now. We venture the assertion that the
editor Of the Free Press has not read the
Banking Law. and only opposes it from
motives which we believe we could name.
II he had read it, be would have discov.
cred that the great object of the law is to
prevent the swindling he speaks Of Sc.
curity for every dollar in paper to be is
sued, must be deposited with the Auditor
of State before Bank is allowed to go
INTO operation and if that security de-
preeistes. more must be given to keep it
up to the full amount. In all its opera
tions. from the opening to the winding
mp of its affairs, the Bank is compelled
to secure its bill.holders. And o time
like the present is the very time to get a
good Banking Law. When the affairs
of the country are in an unsettled state.
people are apt to be more careful and
particular in money matters than at other
times, and then is the time to secure good
currency laws. But in seasons Of pros.
perity. when every man has plenty Of
money, speculation is the order Of the
day, business is left at ''loose ends" and
many swindles are permitted to grow up.
no one taking time to look into matters

Now is the time to secure good Ban

Of the above candidates, Crawford and
Stinsou are Democrats. The politics of

Robinson is the present incumbent of the
Office of Secretary Of State. and is very
good man. He is sure of the office, in
any event. Dutton and Stinson are can.
didates for Offices which are vacant, and
are sure of an election. We know moth.
ing about the balance of the candidates.
They are all new men, and may be very
good ones. but are engaged in a mis-
cheivous business. if they consent to the
scheme. Crawford has accepted. and is
making speeches. Stinson has also made
q speech, giving his decision in the case
before he is elected. To make the under

E% We received call last evening
from Mr.. Sulliver, of Elwood. Doniphan
County. He gives a cheering and lively
report of the Union feeling in Doniphan.
and the scattering of the secessionsts. The
Convention held on Tuesday for the pur-
pose Of nominating State Senators and
Representatives he states was unanimous
for Lane. and that only Lane men were
put in nomination. Robinson has not
much sympathy in Donipbsn for his
traitorous course.-Leav. Conservative.
If Mr.. "Gulliver" told all that, he did
it upon his own responsibility. or must
have been hard pushed for talk. While
all the cadidstes, we believe. are friendly
to Lane. in the present ''situation." there
was not a word said in Convention about
Robinson or Lane. The candidates were
nominated without any reference to the
personal quarrel between these individu-
ais, and, at the time, the views of but few
of the candidates on this question were
known. Doniphan County was looking
after her own interests. After they are at

may devote it to the above mentioned
topic, which some men are in fair way
to render greater nuisance than ever.
