changed they should pay the enhanced price for
paper without whining, and without attempting
to get it back out Of their subscribers. The in.
crease in the price Of paper will make differ

LEDGER. That will remain as it is. We can AZ.
ford it. The retail price will continue to be four
cents; and our club terms will remain as they
always have been. Onr subscribers have stuci

tend to increase our rates to them now when it
is dear. "It is poor rule that won't work both
ways"

A friend Of ours, in . temporary
"pst," not long since. made the aattsring
remark that We were "gettipg to be .
fool on the subject Of Jsyhswking."-
That reminds us of little story.
A few years since. . young man. be-
longing to one of the most honest and re-
spectacle families Of Southern New York,
smigrsted to Kansas. He located on .
farm. worked hard. aud was . respected
citizen. Several years since. be was elect
ed to the Office Of Assessor Of Doniphsn
County. When the war broke ont, he.
like many others, was led into the system
of Jayhawkisg. under the pretence Of ta-
king tbs property Of disloyal persons.
Az a.mattsr of course. the practice, in
his case. (being persisted in long after
public opinion had condemned it., found
its propsr level, through the grade of pro-
miscuous horse-stealing. down to highway
robbery. About two weeks ago. q man
living on Welt River, in Brown County.
took some produce to Atuhison, which
he sold for the cash. and returned home,
but was seen and followed by the person
Of whom we write. in company with
another notorious thief They entered
the mans house early one evening, drew
their revolvsrs. and dem anded his money.
Two other men whe were stopping there.
left the house by another door. one arm
ed with shot gun and the other with q
revolver. and coming around to the front
door. rushed in and fred spon the two
thieves, who Immediately fled, bat no
doubt severely wounded. As they lef,
marks of blood behind. The thieves left
their horses, which fell into the hands Of
the persons they attempted to rob. For
come cause. pursuit was not; made that
night, and the fellows escaped.
Perhaps, if there had been few more
"fools upon the subject of Jayhawking. -
this lsvlessness, horse thieving, and
highway robbery would not he so preva-
lent in Kansas. nor 30 many once honest
aud respectable men be degraded TO the
level Of bandits.

We zee it stated (Ssm. Wood says II.
and he pretends to know everything ana
the price Of is) that our State Treasury
is sgaiu empty. and that State Scrip !"
down to 65 cents. 1t was represented
sometime during the Summer, that tho
Treasury had been so well supplied by
the sale, Of Bonds, that there was no dan
ger Of its again running low, and that
hereafter the State wsuld pay cash in
stead Of scrip. But We think it very
good idea to empty the Tressury and
run down the scrip. just about the time
the Legislature convenes. Many poor
cu.ses who are 50 unfortunate - to be
elected to the Legislature. start OF with
ba.ely sufficient funds to defrsy their *.
penses to the Capital. At the com
mencement of each session. there is usu-
ally an appropriation for the members.
upon which they depend to pay their
board and washing bills. They must
have money, and there are certain ones
hanging around resdyto buy their scrip
at heavy discount. These fellows
then keep posted on the arrival OF Coun-
.ty Trsssurers to settle with the State
Treasurer, and generally manage to get
full value Of their scrip in q very few
days after the purchase. How would 1t
answer for the Legislature to play sharp,
BY passing . law. early. in the session.
prohibiting the Treasurer from paying
ont money upon scrip. until there was
enough to pay the members and officers
ofthe Legislature in full? Another prsc-
tise Of these leeches. is to get hold Of
County Trsssnrers, Immediately upon
their arrival. and swap Cd their scrip to
them for cash. which scrip the County
Tressurers can turn over to the State
Treasurer readily. as so much money
That game might also be blocked.

Among the many schemes of retrench-
ment proposed in our State. is rsduc-
lion of the number Of members Of the
Legislature. A reduction of 25 in the
number of members of the House is geo.
srslly proposed, so that it will consist o!
so instead Of IS members while some
are in favor Of . still greater reduction.
Now. It will be utterly impossible to pass
bill making the proposed reduction.
until the Constitution is amended. We
cannot conceive what singular freak came
over the wise men who framed that in
strument but they provided that every
organized County should bs entitled to
Representative, and that the RspFSsen-
tativs Districts should be single &
County may organize whenever it con-
tsins 600 inhabitants. Nov, what would
be the effect Of reducing the number oi
Representatives to so? There are in the
State something near 40 organized Coun-
ties. That would take up 40 Of the Rep
resentatives, leaving 10 to be scrambled
for by the larger Counties. Leavenworth
would get probably four. and Douglas.
Doniphan. Atchison. and several other
of the larger Counties, perhaps 2 apieee.
The little frontier Counties. containing
from 600 to- 1000 inhsbitants, would
have half as much representation a. Doug
las. Doniphan and Atchison, with their
5000 to 10000, and fully as much as
Jefferson. johnson, and Miami. with their
1880 to 5000. The populous Counties
would bear the burdens of taxation.
while those paying scarcely any tax at
all would hold the political power
Therefore. we say. it will be impossible
to make the proposed reduction. as long
IS tbs Constitution is in its present shape;
for the Representatives of the large Coun-
ties will never permit the passage Of q
law which, while it leaves them the bur-
dens of taxation, will reduce their repre-.
sentation to an equality with the least
populous Counties. The demand for re-
trsnchmsnt is not strong enough to In
duce them to submit to so great an in.
justice. Amend that unjust and foolish
provision Of the Constitution, so that |.
number Of the frontier Counties may be
united in one Representative District,
and population and taxation made. the
basis of Representation, then there will
be no difficulty in reducing the numbers
of the Legislature.

A KNOCK Down ARGUMENT. = The
Lawrence Tribune, speaking of petition
in circulation in that city. asking the
Senate to reject Delshsy's nomination to
the District Judgeship, holds up fright
ful buggaboo to prevent its being sent to
Washington. After boastingly declar.
ing that no Senator can be got to pre-.
sent the petition, it says that Delahay is
a particular friend Of the Presidents, and
was his own choice and appointment
that Lawrence will have some favors to
ask of the Administration and is that
the way TO obtain them. by setting them
selves up against the Presidents wishes
We think that if the President. in his
anxiety to give . snug life berth to an
incompetent friend. imposes him upon
the people Of Kansas. against their wish
es, they should raise their voices against
it. whether it please or displease him
although h we do not anticipate that Della
hays rejection would cause the President
any serious annoyance, unless it might
be from Delahsy himself, who would be.
siege him fer something else. Perhaps
il Delahsy and his friends would go in a
body before the Senate. get down on
