A Topeka despatch s.ys the Legisla-
turs has epfrsncbissa Barney O'Driscoll.
Of Doniphan County. he having been
disfrsnchised BY the Constitutional
Amsnduens. for having engaged in the
rebellion. O'Driscoll was one Of the
original and worst Of the old Border Ruf.
isus Of Kansas; and when the rebellion
broke oot, be rushed of to aid the South.
Report said that he bad been engaged 10
bushwhacking. The people Of the Stale.
BY . m.jority Of over 1000. have decided
that such men shall be deprived Of the
right of franchise; bat the Legislature is
empowered, (intendsd 10 cover rare and
special cases. BY q two-thirds vote. to
remove the disability. What particular
merit does O'Driscoll possess. that 10
should be thus favored? He must be an
extraordinary man: as we believe thst
while he was in the brush. be lost con-
siderable amount Of Doniphsn County
scip, and our late Board OF Commission
ers. with rare magnanimi.y, ordered du-
plicate warrants to be issued to him.
From what We have seen of our Legisls-
tu'e. thus far. we regard it as great pity
that the Democra did not elect ma
jority Of the members. They could not
have had it more completely under their
thumb than they now have. and then oil
the disgraceful acts would have gone to
their credit. THIS is . splendid smisrs.
tion dodge. Let JEFF. Davis snd sil the
graf disfrsnchissd of the rebellion,
come to loyal Kansas: our tender hearted
and tender-backsd Legislature will restore
them to their rights.
A correspondent at Topeka writes us
that the O'Driscoll bill bas only passed
the Senate. and that it will probably be
defeated in the House. If . Senate al
most unanimously Republican passed the
bill. what reason is there to hope for any.
thing better from House more than two
thirds Copperhsad!

About . School House.

It 10 fact we'll known to our citizens.
thst our present school house is filed and
jaoued with scholars. and not roou for
oil. at that. It-is evident that some pro-
vision must be made for the secommoda-
tion Of the school children. If the in
GREASE for the next year is in proportion
to whs. it wss during the past, house
doabls the size of the present ono will
not answer the purpose. 1t will be .
losing business for our citizens to build >
new house every yesr or two. The only
propsr thing to be done. then. is to build
Q house Of snch Dimensions that there
will Be no doubt Of it's answering the pur-
pose for years to come. There are towns
IN Ksnsss. with less population and
wealth. and less bright future prospects.
thst have tuilt school houses costing
$4,000. and $4,000. Why can not
vss ty issuing bonds. or BY sons other
osaas. put up . school house worth at
lssst e25. 900? With such . sum. we
eonld establish here graded school. sim.
liar to those in Ohio and other Eastern
Ststss. that take scholars from the slpha.
bst far into many Of the high branches
taught in collsges-in fact, s6ording an
sdnestion equal to that obtained in many
colleges. 1t looks like big sum to be
taxed for; but taxes paid for schools are
the most valuable investments that can
b made. And the money now spent by
our citizens in sending their children
sbrosd to school 10 big item. and would
thsa Be- saved. Such . school house
would be an honor to the place. and
would be . strong inducemert to bring
The better class OF settlers here, who
would readily share the burden of the
taxes. 10 order to svsil themselves of 50.
psrior school advantages. In fact, ths
present population Of the town would
have very small proportion Of the ta1es
TO pay. If bonds were issued to run for &
series Of years. This is q question thai
will do for our citizens to think over and
discuss. The annual school meeting takes
place in March. and they may arrive o,
sous definite conclusion BY that time.
Is 9 more profitable subject for discus.
sion than politics; and the long and short
