was Mr.. Calhoun's Chief Clerk; bui
because he was too honorable to enter
into the corrupt and fraudulent schemes
tha, characterized Calhoun and the rest
Of his Clerks, he Was abused and dis
missed from the office-ihough he was
the mos, competen. man who ever held
a place under Calhoun. We are pleas
ed 10 say that the honorable course pur-
sued by Mr.. Ream in those trying
times has been rewarded. A vacancy
was made in the Office by the death OF
Mr.. Van. Zands, late the Chief Clerk;
and Gen. Delahay has restored Mr..
Resm to his old position. Much ere
dit Is due Gen. Delahay for this act OF
justice to competent and faithful Of

who live few miles above this town

comfortable. About this time Mr. Wood
hearing men around his house. went to

The Railroad Iutsrests Of Kansas.

Col. Isaacks las, evening showed us
a letter from Washington which con
veyed the gratifying intelligence that
the Potiawotomie Treaty had been con
firmed by the unanimous vote Of the
Senate. A few unimportant clauses
we're struck out by the Senate but none
impairing any rights Of the company
or keeping them from the full use and
con,rol OF the most valuable tract Of
land in the State.
The greatest credit is due TO Senators
Lane and Pomeroy who have given
their most hearty assistance 20 this great
public measure and who have acted
throughout its entire progress not as
par,isans or as men who simply repre-,
sented locality. but as large minded
statesmen who had al heart the interests
Of the whole population and who would
overcome any personal prejudice if. by
SO doing. they could advance the inter-
ests Of Kansas. The present and The
future will accord this fact 10 The per-
pe,ual honor of Pomeroy and Lane
We learn. also, that there is the best
reason to believe that the Pacific Rail.
road Bill will become a law.
Our railroad interests are now as
favorable As the best wisher of Kansas
could desire. No new State ever stood
better. Before three years have elaps-
ed every important Town in the Kaw
Valley will hear the shrill Whistle Of
the Conservative.

PARDON DECLINED pardon
which President Lincoln has given to
the Rev. George Gordon. now in the
county Jail at Cleveland. Ohio. states
that Gordon was legally convicted Of
violating the fsgi,ive slave law. but
that owing 70 his piety, learning. and
reverend calling. and the fact that he
is sufficiently punished. he is uneondi-
ii ,nally parlo-sd. The Cleveland Ga
zette says that when the document was
handed TO Gordon he objected to the
passage stating that he was '.lsgally
convicted" and declared that. If the
point is p essed. he will positively de-
cline the pardon. His purpose is said
to be TO use his own case in testing the
constitutionality Of the fugitive slave
law.

To squatters On Delaware Lands-

reliable info, nation that the general
government is preparing 10 pFotscs the
Ieavenworth. Pawnee and Western
Railroad Company in the full ENJOY
ment of their rights TO the lands pur-
chased of the Delaware Indians. The
Government. feels bound under its treaty
stipula,ions with the company. and the
Indians 10 prevent all interference by
illegal combinations Of squatters With
the company in the possession OF their
lands. Orders have already been. or
will shortly be. issued authorizing and
commanding the. employment OF sufh-
cien; military force tocject all squstters
upon the railroad lands. who are obnox-
ious to the company.
This we say not from rumor merely.
but from full knowledge Of the facts.
Within a short time all squatters. defy
ing the rights and authority OF the
railroad company will be summary
elected.
In view Of these facts We souho
note of warning to all squatters on the
lands Of tho company. They are there
without right or authority Of law. They
are defy;s9 the authority and the laws
Of the general government. and soon
will feel its strong and relentless hand
Under no possible circumstances can
.hey hope or claim TO occupy the lands
on which they live. without making
payment therefor. In law and morals
Mey at least occupy the lands without
color or right. The railroad company
now offers the most generous terms te
all actual settlers. They can have
lands by contributing by their labor C

upon which alone the title depends. II
any guarantee were needed Of the gooc
faith Of the company. this surely woul1
be sufficient.
A short time now is left to choose
between the two alternatives. T. e.. eject
