over the road regret to lose the gentlemanly and

They have been on the road for some time, and
have performed their duties well. Last winter
during the long season of ice and high water
these gentlemen spared no efforts to serve the
people, with the mail, often crossing the stream:
on the ice and carrying the mail bags to town on
their backs and returning it in the same way
next morning. They have done many acts of
kindness, for which they have the thanks of the
public. We hope they may be retained on the
route as drivers, under the new contractor.

Shall we have a Jail!

The subject of building a Jail in this county is
now being somewhat agitated. Whatever may be
said about the matter, pro or con, thecountv cer-
tainly needs such an institution, asa matter OF
economy. At present We have prisoner charged
with the crime of murder, who has been in the
hands Of the sheriff for week, and has to be kept
at the hotel at an expense Of So so to $500 per
week, and attended by guard constantly. An
other one left the hotel last week, who had been
there for ten days or two weeks, attended by a
guard. At this rate the county will incur a debt
in one year almost sufficient to build cheap and
substantial jail. One could be built to answer
all purposes for number of yeara. for sum not
exceeding $1,000 The nearest Jail is at Law
renee, and if evil-doers in this county are to be
placed in dungeons, they have to be taken there,
where the cash is demanded every week in ad-
vance for Keeping them This would be great
ineon venence. and a heavy cost TO the county. If
we had Jail We could make it pay for itself
in few years. by harboring prisoners at the ex-
pense of the counties south and west of us.
Something should be done in this matter, this
ummer, to save the county from expense.

the bill brought forward by M. Pomeroy,
of Kansas. for organizing territory of that
name, applies to the entire region lying be-
tween Kansas and Texas, west of Arkansas
and east of Colorado, Texas and New Mexico.
This district has hitherto born the appella-
ton of the Indian Territory, and Mr.. Pom
eroy has simply translated 1t into Shawnee.
The boundaries recited in the bill are the
same as those of the Indian territory. One
of the peculiarites in the bill is that it pro-
poses to allow the Indians in the territory.
all the privileges of white men in any other
territory. free participation in government
affairs, and equality before the law. This
is necessary, as some of the tribes are far
advanced in civilization, and the territory
can be organized in 40 other way. Nor is
the feature new one; as bill was oppsed
in Congress some years ago. by Mr.. John
son, of Arkansas. making similar provisions.

about as follows: Quite a number of the hands
were "baching" together. and Ward was cook for

Ward and Kursh had difficulty. resulting in a
fight. in which Kursh was badly mi ured bya kick

tired of staying in the house, went to where the
hands were at work, q short distance off. AS he
passed on his way. he saw Ward fishing in Rock
creek, few steps from his path. and they ex-
changed some .ords ina friendly manner. When
Kursh returning to the house, half on hour
afterward, he stopped to see Ward. and sat down
on the bank Of the creek by his side. W. laid
down HE fishing apparatus, and made the ex-

The Memphis AV0loncke of the 26th is
received. Il contains little of interest fur
lther than the confirmation of the fall of
New Orleans. The paper complains that
the rebel government suppress details re-
garding the affair and says nothing but the
bare facts of the surrender is known.
1t also states that the Southern people
are fast losing all confidence in the river de-
fences. and says il is generally admitted
that the Federal army can be nc louge: sue
cessfuily opposed. Insinuates a lack of
confidence in the stability of the Southern
fCe6federacy by re commenting its patrons
to invest their money in real estate while
purchases can be made with the currency
now IN circulation which is principally rebel
treasury notes. a1hEgEs
The CONSUMPTION law is being rigidly en-
forced. Union citizens are secretine them
selves orffying to avoid its operations.
A refugee who brought the paper repre-.
sents the city in the highest state of excite
ment, anticipating the advent of the YAM
KEGS. The merchants of strong secession
proclivities are removing goods TO places of
concealment and security. The idea of

conversations with the Secretary of the In
terror, in regard to the contract made by
him with the State. by r. s. Stevens. act
ing as agent. for the purchase, of 81 SO. 600
Kansas seven per cent. bonds. He says the
$50, 900 of bonds belonging to the State.
which were deposited in the Department
but not paid for. shall not be Withdrawn
except by an agent appointed in pursuance
of a law or joint resolution hereafter passed.
1t was his wish, to secure the whole issue
authorized by the first Legislature. because
he understood that further issue was pro-
-hibited by the Constitution. and therefore
the contract was confined to those bonds,
and made to cover all of them. But while
he cannot properly pledge himself IN ad-
vance of the presentation of the question for
his official action. he has no doubt that if
the Legislature shall authorize q new issue
of bonds to make up the balance Of the
$3.50. 900. he viii accept them in execution
of the contract; on condition. however, that
the State affirms and legalizes the issue and
sale of thesseyen per. cent. and the ten per
cent. bonds. he has already bought and paid
for.
. Asths purpose of the Secretary IN this
matter is of general interest to the people of
Kansas. I have obtained his consent to make.

execute the contract IN full, the State will
