The HOUSE QUESTION. is ques-
tion which is beginning to elicit some at
tention. A very large emigration is now
coming into this part Of the State. most
ofthem Of very desirable class Of people.
There are daily Inquiries for dwellings.
and we believe that If twenty houses
could be erected to-day, tomorrow they
would be filled, and three times that num-
Der in the course of few week. The fact
is, it will not do to turn people away at
this rate. unless it is agreed that the town
is finished; and some means must be
adopted to supply the demand. Persons
are not prepared to build for themselves
Immediately upon their arrival. They
must have time to look around, to settle
themselves, and to make the necessary
preparations. We believe that If some
capitalist. with about $4,000 of loose
green. backs about him. were to put up
say twenty houses. at cost of $500 each,
be would Immediately find demand for
them, at rents which wosld pay him q
handsome interest on his investment.

trumped up against Governor of the
State. an attempt made to impeach him,

felon. Another Governor may be CD.
psssd in all bis official acts for the ben
eft of the State, and issinustions sent
forth that he is disloysl, and falsi-
fer OF the truth. Offices may be openly
peddlsd out to increase an individuals
political influence, and the fact boasted Of
by him. Utterly incompetent men. and
persons possessed of no moral character,
are appointed to political and other re-
sponsible positions in the State, to do
the bidding of corrupt demagogus. and
defraui its Executive. None of these acts
disgrace the State; but let the Represen-
sativcs Of the people hurl from power the
man who does all this, and BY that act
they disgrace Kansas forever!

"FERNlNsr" FRAUD.-We notice that

When the Appropriation bill was before
the Senate, we were one Of those who
voted TO allow the Secretary the amount
he asked for Clerk hire, because we
thought he told the truth when he said it
was necessary that he should have Clerk
throughout the year. He succeeded in
getting liberal salary for Clerk; but
no sooner is tho matter settled, than be

MAILs.-This part Of the State is es-

never reaches subscribers at Offices in
Brown and Nemaha Counties. until two
or three weeks after date. when it should
reach all of them on the following Mon.
day or Tuesday, at the very farthsst.
This is the cause of heavy losses to us
every year. We wish to goodness the

to- be in attendance, when perhaps the
troubles could be laid before him, and be

ARRESTED FoR MAIL RoBBrsa.-Arthur
W. Williams. Postmaster at Sabetha,
Nemahs County, and his son Justus,
young man sged about eighteen. were ar
rested. few days sgo. on . charge OF
robbing the mails. A great deal Of
money had been lost in that vicinity, and
suspicion was Grst excited BY the young
man. who had no means of earning
money, keeping fancy woman" and
lsvishing large sums upon her. and her
statement that she had seen 500 in his
possession. When the party approached
to make the arrest. young Williams at
tempted to escape. but was soon caught.
They evidently felt that trouble was
brewing. and the young. man was just
ready to start for Bannock. Williams
was held to bail in the sum of 81 1000.
and his son in the sum Of $500, for their
appearance at the next term of the United
States District Court.
Mr.. Williams formerly occupied re-
spectacle position in his neighborhood
He was . Captain in the Kansas sth'

against him. They were finally settled
in some manner, on condition Of his re-
signing his ofics. which he did. Most o.

The Indig. papers insist that they do

Mitchell. Conway. Anthony, or any other
man of their choice. This is sll bosh.
The question will be Lane or Carney. and
60 the friends of Lane intend it. Their
game is to unite the friends of every as
pirant in the indignation business. under
the pretence that there will be show for
their respective favorites; but they in

In nominating members Of the Legisls-
ture. they will take good care to select
such only who are sound on Lane, and il
will be very nice arrangement, if they
can get the assistance Of any other aspi.
