White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1863-01-22

stirring news. We make . brief state.
ment OF the measures which he recon-.
mends. and the policy which he favors:
He takes strong ground in favor Of The
Administration. an energetic and thorough
prosecution Of the war. and the Emanci.
lpation Proclamation.
he asks the appointment of Stats
Sanitary COMMITTEES. and appropriation,
for the relief Of soldisn' families. and sicl
and wounded volunteers; and that roll
OF the Kansas dead be preserved in the
State archives.
He gives careful attention to the finances
Of the State, and recommends, measures
to retrieve and maintain the State credit.
The Agricultural and Educational in
terests are carefully considered. and meas
ures recommended for their Advancement
and protection. He rsfors especially to
sheep-rsising. and gives valuable statistics
on the subject. In fact, he interspsrses
the whole document with copious statis-
tics. showing much care and research in
it's preparation.
The State University and other Public
Institutions are BY no means neglected.
Upon the subject of Internal Improve.
ments. he comes down square upon the
language of the Constitution. that "the
State shall never be . party in carrying
on any works of internal improvement" I"
While upon this subject. the Governor
was observed to smile-no doubt at the
recollection of his last Winters Bridge
Bill.
He considers the early completion of
the following roads military necessity.
and recommends that the matter be press
ed upon the attention of Congress: The
completion of the Railroad from Weston
to Fort Leavenworth; the wagon road
from Fort Lsavenworth to Fort Scott and
South; from Fort Leavenworth to Fort
Union. ria Riley. Larnsd and Lyon; from
Fort Leayenworth to Fort Laramie, and
West.
He declares. that the laws shall be
maintained and enforced, lawless bands
shall be dispersed, and raids. robberiss,
ETC.. shall be suppressed. This is sup
posed to refer to Jsyhawking.
He claims for Kansas her full share of
public lands; fsvors the extinction of In.
dian titles. and the opening of Indian
lands to settlement; and takes decisive
ground in favor of the completion Of the
Kansas branch of tho Pacific Railroad,
and Of State Railroad System-stick-
ing in an extra good word for the Leav-
enworth, Pawnee and Western Railroad.
lie desires an extension Of the public
surveys in Kansas; wants foreign Insu.
rance Companies taxed; thinks the Gen
ersl Government should make an appro-
priation or a grant of lands. to aid in
building . State Capitol; and recon.
mends general laws, to take County and
local affairs out of the Legislature.
Lastly. he urges upon the Legislature
to make an immediate call upon Con.
gress to reimburse Kansas settlers for the
losses sustained during the troubles of
1855. 1856. and 1857.
In short the Message was evidently de-
signed, (and will in great measure sue
ceed) to please the people of the whole
State. and of every mind; but if all his
claims upon tn. General Government are
granted. (although they are every one
just and fair. it will make Uncle Sam
grunt.
Some persons have made especial re.
mark of the fact that the Governor. in his
message, quotes Bacon. This but proves
that lie cannot at once divcst himself of
his thorough business habits. Having
packed 10000 hogs this season. it is by
no means strange that he should feel in
terested in quoting Bacon. From cut.
ting hogs to being Governor of Kansas.
is big jump.
1t was q cause Of complaint, last Win
ter. that very many of the public servants
were in the habit of getting "eorned." It
is better this year; but in the absence Of
the "corn." be have q plentiful supply Of
CoJ6:. We have one as Supreme Judge,
one On the floor of the House. and one in
subordinate position in the same body.
Blu. as there are some dozen or fifteen
physicians in the House. we think it
necessary they should have also supply
of Cobbs.
The House will doubtless soon be in
undated with bills. while the Senate, for
. week or more to come. will have to 60
through the interesting process Of meeting
and adjournipg.
To-day it is as cold as "blue-blazes."
Hope it will not get warmer for about
four weeks to come-not that We have .
fancy for cold weather, but the present
arrangement smscks of full ice-house,
and huge pile Of wood now lying use
less over in Pukedom.
