LAWRENCE, Kansas, Dec. 5, IS

LAWRENCE, Kansas, Dec 5, 1867.
Probably no part of the country has Witnessed
more extensive and important changes, during
the past ten years, than Kansas and Western
Missouri. Two days ago 1 stepped aboard OF
the cars at st. Louis, In the afternoon at half.
past three o'clock, en- route for this place. The
afternoon and evening wore rapidly away In
conversation with old friends whom chauced
TO meet, and about IL o'clock we took our berths
for the night. Morning found us refreshed by
sleep, and clear across the State of Missouri, at
the State line between II and Kansas, where
fine hot breakfast was awaiting us at the rail-
road eating house and hotel transfer TO the
cars Of the Kansas Pacific Railroad a couple OF
hours rideup the malchless valley OF the Kaw

and historic city of Lawrence, renowned not
less for her devotion TO- than her sufferlngs in,
the great cause Of human freedom.
made this same journey ten years ago last
spring, and, by way OF contrast, let me briefly
describe 1t. The simple recital may serve more
Vivldly to picture the actual changes that have
taken place than any general expressions
could serve to do.
Then, as now, took the cars of the Missouri

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ORDEAL.-To
the foreign element we are now adding
u still larger one, more untaught and
quite as susceptible Of easy control; and
very o we shall add another in the
hundred, Of thousands Of Asiaties who are
pouring into the Pacific States, into
whose heads the FIRST idea of s~slf-goyerp-
mens has never entered. For zoe cannot
90 backward: ICE must go through p'h the
experiment zoe hSve undertaken, FOR VEAL
OR WOE. There are many thoughtful
men who believe that the severest ordeal
Of our institutions is yet to come, and
through this unlimited and unqualified
extension of the suffrage. Nor does it
relieve this apprehension 10 insist that
the theory of universal suffrage is right;
that whoever must support the govern
meat and obey the laws should have a
voice in the making Of the laws and the
selection Of their administrators. Those
who have established the government,
and maintained it a, great cost Of treas
ure and blood, are not to yield such
blind and unqualified allegiance to Il
theory as to surrender the control Of
affairs to those nanifestly incapable OF
p%erpetuating free iustitutions.-Sprtn3-

Proxress of the Pacific Railroad-Chcy-
enne-General Dodge and Colonel Sey.
10
We clip the following from the noun
tain correspondence of the Chicago Tn
6une:
The road is now finished aud running
to Point OF Rocks, on Pole Creek, four
hundred and eighty miles west Of Oma-
ha, and is pushing along rapidly, ex-
pecting by the FIRST of October to reach
the base of the mountains. Here is the
new town Of Cheyenne, u name, for the
last few weeks, in everybody's mouth,
and which, if half that is said Of it is
true, will be the place appointed for the
next great world exhibition, by which
time Omaha and Chicago will be coun-
try villages, tributary to this infant
giant, which is TO surpass in growth
anything elsewhere OF its kind.
AN IMPORTANT PLAcE.
But, seriously, Cheyenne is likely to
be "a place of importance. Here the
grades of the railroad, for FIVE hundred
miles no, exceeding thirty feet to the
mile, suddenly jumps to ninety feet,
making it the point at which light en-
giues must be changed for heavy ones,
and trains rearranged. This brings the
important workshops Of the road to this
point, and, as illustrated at Altoona, on
the PENNSYLVANIA Central, will make a
large place without any other consider
alton. Besides this is the fact that it is
the junction Of the Denver branch, and
will eventually be the junction Of Il
branch to Montana by the Powder River
road that it is in immediate vicinity TO
what will be the largest military post on
the froutier-a post which, for its rail-
road communications, must eventually,
and soon, become the great depot Of sup
plies for all the troops stationed in Mon
taua, Western Dakota, Colorado and
New Mexico. II is situated at the point
where the railroad crosses Crow creek,
described as a beautiful little mountain
stream, with water aud fall enough to
irrigate the whole town and country
near about, in full sight OF the glowing
snow caps of Longs peak aud the Med
iciue Bow, and with inexhaustible guam
titles of the best Of pine timber in the
Black Hills, twenty miles of.
All these things combine to make a
probable future for this town as the
great city Of the mountains. At any
rate, people have confidence enough in
it to buy its lots greedily at from two
hundred to six hundred dollars, which,
for n town, in a wilderness, with the
Railroad as yet a hundred miles OFT,
and not a house in sight, is perhaps n
rather steep price. suppose, however,
the sanguine investors know their BUSH
ness.

A NEW QUITE.

General Dodge, their chief engineer
| OF the road, is engaged west of the
black hills in trying to find some more
favorable route than the one through
Bridger's Pass. 1t is hoped to accom-
plish this by going further north than
was originally contemplated, and fol-
lowing a route suggested by Mr.. Reid,
bu, which the approach Of Winter last
year prevented him from ~reconnoitering
fully. If it should prove a favorable
route-and so far nothing tells against
tit will most decidedly improve both
the alignment and the grades of the
road west OF the Black Hills, and give,
in all probability, a much better means
of crossing the Wahsatch range into
Utah than by the line originally con-
templated.

treal and Liverpool. From this state
ment 1t appears that in September, 1865,
Surratt took passage on the Peruvian
for Europe, and became intimate with
Mcmillan, confessing who he was. He
also confessed that: .
"He had been from the beginning in
the Confederate service, carrying dis
patches between Washington and Rich
mond, and also as far as Montreal. That
he and Booth had planned, at first, the
abduction OF President Lincoln; that,
however, they thought they could not
succeed In that way, and they then
thought 1t was necessary to change
their plan. After this, and before the
assassination, Surratt was In Montreal,
when he received letter from Booth
ordering him Immediately to Washing
ton-that 1t was necessary TO act and
promptly, and he (Surratt) was to leave
Montreal Immediately for Washington.
He did not tell me he came to Washing
ton, but he told me he came as far as
Elmirs, New York, and from that place
telegraphed to the city of New York to
find out whether Booth had already left
FOR Washington, and was answered that
he had. He did not tell me whether he
had gone any further than ElmIra. The
next place he spoke to me of was st.
Adams, Vermont, where, he said, he ar
rived in the morning about breakfast
time, and went to hotel there for break
fast. While he was sitting there he
heard several talking about an assassi-
nation, and he inquired, What was up?'
They asked him if he did not know
President Lincoln had been asssssinated.
He replied that he did not believe it, be-
cause the story was too good to be true.
On that gentleman pulled out news
paper and handed it to him. He opened
it and saw his own name as one OF the
assassins. He said this unnerved him
so much that the paper fell out of his
hands, and he Immediately left the room
and walked out. AS he was going oHt
through the hotel he heard another party
say that Surratt must have been or was
at the time in st. Adams, because such
a person mentioning the PERSONS name)
had found a pocket handkerchief on the
street with Surratt's name on it. He
told me he actually looked in his pocket
and found he had lost his pocket hand
kerchief. From that place he went to
Canada and was concealed there from
April to September"
During the passage Surratt avowed
his intention Of returning to the United
States and assassinating President John
son for causing his mother to be hung
DR.. McMillen, on arriving in Liverpool,
made affidavit to the above facts before
the U. s. Consul, and it was on the
strength Of these revelations that Sur
raft was pursued and captured.
