We are clearly of the opinion, that this
Legislature will perform q much greater
'smodnt of work. snd Of more useful
character, than the last, notwithstanding
there was no fraud" perpetrated last

Every day bat strengthens the feeling
in those members who voted to 60 into
an election. not only that they committed
no fraud. bat that they did right, and
took the only course to redeem the State
from disgrace. This action is cause for
rejoicing throughout the entire Union; for
it has long been = matter Of surprise to
the grest AMI the leading men Of the ma
fion, that Kansas sends such a man as
Gen. Lsne-destituts alike of character
anil tru,h-to represent hor in the Senate.
An almost superhuman effort is being
male by Lanes of1ice-heliers, to ge. up
inlignation meetings throughout the
State; bat 10 nearly every case they hare
proven miserable failures. Men whom
the Government ia paying from $1,000 to
1000 year, are travelling over the
State denouneing the Legislature. because
itatook the responsibility Of riiding the
8 State Of nuisance. Some arc even try
ingt6Pfossitu,a the Union League to this
base purpose. But let them run. They
will send forth their dismal howls for
. brief season. then sink into obscurity,

people with their howls. ,i, ,s
The Legislature seems determined to
keep up the good work which they have
commenced. Il having been ascsrtained

some sort Of an enforcement of Dslahsy.
the Legislature, BY very decisive vote,
passed s''concarrent resolution denounc.

tion.s The Sidney Clarke resolutions have
been rssurrected. and have passed the
Ilsnse by ,vbte Of more than three to
one. They will pass the Senate. They
req1sst the President and Secretary OF
WH to remove Clarke from office, for
his insult to the State, in writing letters
to the Provost Marshal General. charging
the Governor with falsehood, and pro-
nouncipg him disloysl. On questions of
this character, the mem bers who opposed
. Senatorial election seem to think they
are bound to go togsther., They are
froubled with q dangerous attack of sore
hesd. and instead ofshowing their weak
ness by voting. they have adopted the
plan of not voting at all. Well. let them |

The Lsns mitigation at. the Capital
has assumed very low type. Those
afilictediwith it. show it by sneaking in,
togroups Of Csrney's friends. and report
ing such rem marks as they may chance to
hear:S by smuggling spies into caucus,
to report what traaspires;o aud, it is even
limited. by robbing the post-office. and
breaking open private correspondence.
The results of these indignant practices.
may be seen cropping out in every issue
Of the Lane organs.
On lsst Friday night. there was
grand Legislative Banquet. in honor OF
tie Senator elect. It was the largest and
hsppiest gathering of the kind ever as,
ssmblsd in Topeka. There were, FEAST

which occupied the entire night. The af-
