It is the opinion Of high authorities. that
the proposed law is unconstitutional, in
asmuch ss it proposes to create new

avote Of the people. E
1t is now pretty certain that all amend
ments to the Constitution will fail. except
perhaps. that ons confsrring the right Of
ufffsgs upon voluntese soldiers.
A great many "Bomcombs" resolu-
tions and amendments to the Constisu-
tion have been offered, by men who wish
to give .bsir constituents an exalted idea
Of their principles of economy and re-
trenchment; yet the time which these
same members consume in discussing
"Bumcombe." and raising foolish points
of order, is costing the people of the
State more money than would be saved
by their resolutions and amendments.
The Senate spent the entire afternoon
in approving yesterdays Journal, quib-
bling upon points of order. and debating
nice questions Of dignity.
We notice, in list of officers appoint
ed for the new Indian Regiments, tho
name Of Of Reuben Partridge, As Colonel.
Is that our fellow citizen Partridge 7 or
like some other names. are there more
persons than one rejoicing in the name Of
Reuben Partridge?
We observe that the Topeka cores

The CRoBArE MAIL LIEs.-f ever .

mails and q neglected mail route, it is
ours. The wind glandered, poll
evil'd. ring -boned, spavin'd sore-footed,
lousy horses that are used in carrying the
mails between st. Joseph and this place,
fail to make time in almost every in
stance. When the roads are bad. il yis
almost an impossibility for one horse to
get along with the blackboard and heavy
mails. When the roads are good the
mail comes regular-ffequently. Why
this negligence to put proper amount
of stock on the road and see that the
mails do go through in time. is thing
to be seen to. The Company who run
the line get well paid. and. if in the fu-
ture they do not see to putting the mail:
through promptly. the voice of the people
Of this section will bs heard in unmis-

Forbesrance sometimes ceases to be

fate is yet to be determined. It is the
belief Of some persons that it will not
carry. as there are supposed to be num-
Der Of money Lenders in the Senate. Do
not understand Us as giving this IS our
opinion, as it does not become rs to
''impugn" the motives Of any Senator.
The all-absorbing question now before
the House, is bill to assume the Terri.
torisl debt. The present prospect is.
that it will pass. There is . portion Of
the Territorial debt Of which the State
has received the benefit. and should pay;
but the greater part of it is the result of
extravagance and rascality and should
never be paid. For example. there is the
bill run up BY the Lecompton Constitu-
tional Convention, and costs Of Border
Rufisn officers for prosecuting Free State
men. Such debts should never bs paid;
and If Government cannot extend to Kan
sas the favor Of paying her Territorial
expenses, - it has done with other
States. We zee no reason Why the people
of Kansas should BE- saddled with the debt
and another batch of. bonds issued to give
riss to speculation and swindling. Last
winter. . bill was passed to compel Lsav-
snworth and Douglas Counties TO- pay

How IT WoRKs.-An officer in the army gives
us the following incident: .0a
"Somewhere in the Southwest, within the
Federal lines, dwells the owner of several slaves,
who had succeeded in keeping bis human pro-
perty safe through all the events of the war, and
who was accustomed to boast not immoderately
of the devotion which his slaves bore towards
him. He was not afraid of the Presidents proc
lamation-not he. He treated his slaves like
humans, and they knew it. They didn't want
their liberty-could'nt be induced to leave
preferred remaining as slaves under good mas.
ter, &c. &C. On the morning Of the first of
January, the aforesaid owner was surprised by
the noise Of cheering and other uproarious dem>
onstrations before his door, and on going forth
to see what 1t meant, was still more surprised to
find his negroes drawn up in body, with bun
dies on their backs, and everything indicating
they we're about to take their departure A few
words suficed to explain the situation. The ne.
groes had concluded to avail themselves of the
liberty which they supposed had been given
them by Mr. Linkum, but as they felt grateful
for past kind treatment, they thought before they
left they would stop and bid .massa' good-by.-,
Thie unmistakable Indication of Independence
brought things to Q crisis. The master was not
prepared to lose his slaves and the slaves had no
personal disliking to the master. 1t was, there.
fore, not difficult for all parties to come to an
understanding when the disposition for mutual
concession existed. The master sgreed to pay
the negroes wages for their labor, and the me-
groes agreed to stay and work for wages And
20 the thing Was settled"

The RIGHT OF HOMESTEAD AND DOVER
We find the following in the Des Moines COR
respondence ofthe st. Louis Republican, writ
ten during the session of the Supreme Court
of thi. State:
The Supreme Court is still in session. Since
the holiday recess, it is disposing Of the large
calendar quite rapidly. A decision of impor-
lance, affecting the right of homestead has just
been rendered. To secure the payment of q
certain sum, Joseph C. Bailey conveyed his
homestead, by mortgage deed, to one Sharp,
the wife of Bailey joining in the deed, SO far
as to relinquish her right Of dover, by express
terms, without conveying any other title. To
make the conveyance of homestead valid, the
statute requires that the wife shall join her
husband in the deed; and the Court held that
the right Of the homestead is q higher right
than that Of dover; therefore that the deed
from Bailey to Sharp is void. 1t Is supposed
that great many titles will be affected by this
decision. sg..,ae.sg 7.s ,, ..-.e.ss ..a
