Death Of Captain Norman Allen.
The announcement Of the sudden death
Of Capt. Norman Allen, at st. Louis
last Thursday. will cause pain in large
circle of friends and acqnaintances.
Capt. Allen was widely known as the
founder and publisher Of the Lawrence
Republican. His efforts in behalf Of Kan.
sas during the days OF her darkness, can
never be forgotten. He came here among
the FIRST settlers. and Immediately identi.
fed himself with the Free State cause
His labors were unceasing, patriotic and
disinterested.
He was ready when his country called
for brave sons to put down treason, to
offer his services, his life.
To his efforts may be ascribed the rails.
ing Of the men requisite to man the bat.
terry Of which ne had command at bis
death.
In all the relations of life he was true
man. honest, despiser of meanness and
demsgogues. An admirer of honorable
dealing among men. be always practiced
it himself.
His life is another addition to the cost
ly sacrifices this land is making to the
cause of freedom.-Lawrenee Republican

England has united with Austria in

"It is impossible that the Czsr will
grant what is hereby requested-wem might
almost say it is hereby required. The
war-prepsrations in Russia are proceeding
with. great rapidity and on vast scale
ostehsibly to quell ihe Polish revolt. but
evidently the chance of hostilitiss to ba
com mmenced by the three great Powers.
The prospects Of bloody war in Europe
are certainly very much augmented BY

Treasurer, is now in the city. He has
hosts of friends in Leavenworth and Kan.

ed. Mr.. Dutton is now in business in
Chicago. as we have already stated.
One year ago, the tone of the Conserv'

never speak Of Dutton. land often went
ont of its way to speak Of him. without
referring to him as a defaulter, q swim
dler, a tool of Robinson's, and similar
epithets. But at that time Dutton had

make difference with some folks.

CATHOLICS AND TIE New YORK MOB
Great credit is accorded to the Catho.
lie clergy of New York, for their efforts
to quell the riot in that city. They are
entitled to some credit; but they are al.
so deserving Of blame. for endeavoring
to screen their members, BY declaring, in
their sermons, that they did not believe
the rioters were Catholics-tbst the per.
sons before them did not look like rioters,
Of course. the mob was not composed
wholly Of Catholics, but a majority oI
them were; and for priests to stand up
before men who had been engaged in the
outrsges, and tell them they believed them
to be innocent of the whole affair, was
only encouraging them to do the same
thing over. While the villains were ra.
ging through the streets. knocking down.
robbing and numbering hdiscriminately,
every one who replied to their hailing
call. that he was " Democratic Catho.
lic." was permitted to go without farther
molestatiou; and the cry was heard from
the mob. "Burn out the heretics!" Are
not these singular sounds to come from
other than Catholic throats! They for
chilly remind the reader Of history of the
scenes of the memorable St. Bartholo-
news Day, in Paris. If another Native
American or Anti-Catholic party should
spring up in this country. who would be
to blame for it?
