This smeuut the people have to foot
up at the close Of go. and from which
no dollar ever returns.
The appropriations to the Asylums.
which are benevolent institutions for the
heneit OF the unfortunate. none should
grudge. il the unfortunate receive an equi-
valent therefor. The question is. do
thew?
Let rs see Ths Blind Asylum has
thirteen students, among whom are sew
eral adults who have had the benefit OF
other Institutions. and some Of whom
are on the decline of life. and have an
education sufficient to render life pleasant,
go far ss intelligence is concerned. The
appropriation is eqnsl to S746 to the
student. This amount wouli be of much
greater benefit to these students il they
were plared in the care Of the Asylums
of some of the older States, that have
much greater facilities for education, and
which. from their smplsr means. have
made them happier resorts for these un-
fortunates.
The same may be said of the Other
Asylums. The cost of keeping them up
is greatsr than would be the cost OF car
ing for the unfortunate inmates in Asyl
ums of Older States. The average cos
of the students of the Deaf and Dumt
Asylum is about $500. The cost of thu
insane the present year will probably b
81 900 each. aside from deficiency o
over $1,000 for 1858 While it mani
tests laudable ambition in our yonns
State to take such long strides in the es
tablishment OF her institutions of learn
ing. &c. much recklessness is also mani
tested in scattering ~shese institut ions al
over the State, and carrying them be-
yond our means. and in advance OF the
demand. Evidently. those who bavs
charge of some of the Asylums. have
been at no little trouble in gathering up
sufficient number of the inmates to
make respectable show. and it is whis-
pered about that some Of them have been
brought from other States. For this
will not vouch.
Lest my article be too long. I shall
not speak of the State Educational in
siitntions now. Let the newspapers sgi-
tate these questions. let the people think
Of them, aud let the next Legislature be
elected with a. eye to reform in these
matters, and all will be set right.

An OmciaI Tran.action.

A good deal has been said about the
mism auagement Of The st. Joseph and
Denver Rsilroad Company. and the spec
ulstions connected with it. But the Rail-
road Company have not been the only
ones ct fault. There was transaction
which has not yet been made public. but
which ws'shsll now proceed to make pub
lie, that shows the style Of men who are
placed in responsible positions in Kansas,
and whose praises the people are required
to sing.
The Dsnver Road was one of the roads
entitled to l25. 900 acres of State lands.
when. ten miles were completed and iD
running order. and we're accepted BY Q
board of inspectors. to be composed of the
Governor, Secretary Of State. and At
torney General. When ten miles of the
Denver Road were completed. the Com
psny applied for the land. and Acting
Governor Green, Secretary Barker, and
Attorney General George II. Hoyt, pro.
cssded to examine the work. They found
it to be all right. emitting the Company
to the land; bat Gsrgs H. Hoyt demanded
$1,000 as Q consideration for signing the
certificate, and Secretary Barker demand.
cd $1,000. The Company refused to
pay it, and at once suit was commenced
to prevent the land from being turned
over to the Rsilroad Company. on the
ground that it belonged to the school
fund. The Company employed Kan.
sas lawyer to look after their interests,
and on bis recommendation, as the best
way to settle the matter. Hoyt was paid
$1,000. and Barker $1,000. for their sig.
natures to the certificate. and no more
was heard Of the suit. This transaction
il on the records; and with the money SC
obtained, Hoyt was enabled to 60 to
Washington and bum for the Office which
be now holds.
This is Kansas official honesty. Men
who sre elected to perform certain servi.
Gee, and receive . salary for so doing,
refuse to do acts which they have taken
an oath to do truly and impartially
until they are bribed to do it. This crea.
turs Hoyt is kept in office by On Admin.
istrstion that claims to make honesty and
integrity it's cornerstone. He spends q
great portion Of his time in drunkenness
and dsbauchery. and mail affairs have un-
dsrgons no preceptible change for the bet
ter. II . swindling mail contractor can
afford to pay him handsome bribe.
there is no danger that his speculations
at the expense Of the Government and the
people will be interfered with. As long
% Hoyt is retained in office. let us not
hear anything about the standard Of hon.
esty in bestowing Government positions.
