both Houses, and is now in the hands Of
the. Governor. Those who profess to
know. say that be will sign it without
any hesitation; but we shall be better sat.
isfied, after be has done so. In the House,
when it was found that the bill would
surely pass. q last effort was made
to kill it. BY attaching . provision to
submit il to vote Of the peoples
course which is not authorized by the
Constitution except in special cases /; and
all measures take effect upon their publ
cation in the Statutes. 1t was merely sn
attempt to postpone the question. and
make it a hobby in the next political
campaign.
During the discussion in the Honse.
the enemies OF Northern Kansas made .
final effort to crusl, her ont. by the mo-
tion of Mr.. Click, of Atchison, to strike

It will be seen that the Representatives
OF these great rivals, Lssvsnworth and
stood together in opposing
Northern Kansas. with . nsgnanimity
worthy of sll praise. They thas stand
together on all occasions. when our sec-
lion asks for justice. But they will all
overflow with love for us, next Fall, when
Ihs Senatorial question is at issue. J.
During the discussion on the bill, Mr..
Allen, of Jefferson, endeavored to ami
iilate j. with Aowery quotations from
We have heard Shakespeare
quoted upon almost every imaginable sub.
Iset, But never before saw his sentimental
crestions launched BY wholesale against
bill granting lands to Railroads.
As en- evidence that the passage Of the
Railroad bill severely hurts some men. We
may state the fsct, that at the Banquet
given BY the citizsus Of Popsk.. to the
members Of the Legislature; the other
night. q member from Atchisou wss call
Cd upon to respond to toast to the L.
dies. and in his remarks. had the bad |
taste to cast slur at the friends of the
Railroad bill-insinusting that very few
Of them would ever get back to the Leg.
islsture. and that the question would be
made an issue in the next State election.
