Ka..u. ni.arnced Again.

Had we delayed our Retrospective"
article of April FIRST. two weeks longer.
we woald have been en- sblsd to give su-
other forcibls illustration to sustain our
position. The telegraph brings an ac-
count of an interview between Senator
Ross aud President Grant. which places
the Senator in very disgrscefuI light,
and puts another shame npon Kansas.
It seems that Ross called upon the Pres
ident. to take him to task for dism issinp
certain Of bis unders,rsppers in Ksnsss
from Office. and 10 protest against Pom
eroy and Clarke being allowed to con.
troll the Kansas patronage. and to de-
msnd an eqnAl voice in the distribution.
From the account, be went at the busi-
ness in . very arrogant and dictatorial
manner: and Grant plainly informed him
that he bad made up bis mind ss to the
appointments. and should not changs it.
Thereupou Ross became furiously indig-
nsnt. and told the President he might
Ego to hell J" The President. with diff
Guilty restraining himself from chastisiug
the Ksnsa boor on the spot. ordered Ross
to leave ths house. and never set bis foot
in it sgsin-which Ross made haste to
do.
The proceeding MAS cheeky. on the
part Of Ross. from the beginning. He
had set up the claim. that in voting
against the impeachment of President
johnson. he did so for tbs purpose of de-
fsating the designs of Grants enemies.
But it is we'll known that Grant was in
favor of impeachment. aud did not sp-
prscists the friendship,of those who de-
feated it. Ross has been repudisted and
rebuked BY Kansas in every way that it
could be done. and the whole cou utry
knows that he no more represents Kan.
saa. Except in name. than Salisbury
of Delaware does. He has no right to
demand . voice in the Kansas appoint.
msnts. and Grant knew this well. The
prospect is that al Of Ross friends will
have to walk the plank. May that day
speedily arrive. He is now beginning
to reap the fruits of his treassn. Pom.
sroy showed the task upon his shoulders.
and now is using it against him, to
slaughter bis friends. Hereafter, let other
men do their own dirty work.

EmtgratlOn.

Jaiging from the way il has commence
ed. the emigration to Kansas. this season.
will far exceed that Of last year. great as
it was. They are coming in by every
road. and by every chsnnel OF travel.
The rush is not confined to any particular
localities, but every nook and corner is
getting its shsre. An impetus may have
been given to the movement by the em-
igraiion issues Of papers sent Esst. bot
We Go not think that has been the lead
ing cause. Poor paople and those Of
noderate means in the East. have determ-
ind 10 seek new homes ON the cheap and
fertile lands Of the West. Men from all
quarters Oft East have been prospect
ing through the West. and have selected
the most favorable localities. These
men are directing the tide Of emigration.
and in many instances organizing it into
companies and colonies. We have new
er thought so fsvorably of. the plan Of
emigration papers as some others. One
mon who has been on the groand to see,
will have more influence in starting bis
neighbors and scquaintsnces. than ten
thoussnd papers sent for the purpose,
which, however correct and truthful they
may be. are often looked upon as mere
dodges to luro people to q new country
that is anxios for settlers. Oar view oil
the matter is sustained BY the fact thai
the emigration papers have been confined
almost exclusively to Southern Ksusss
while Northern Kansas has sent but very
few. If any. Notwithstanding this, Nor
thern Kansas is receiving q foil proper
ton Of the emigration, and . very supe.
rior class of it. II Southern Kansas get.
the most. it is because she has over two
thirds Of the territory of the State. W.
think the increase, in proportion to tn.
area. is fully as great in Northern as in
Southern Kansse. The truth is, th.
State sperks for herself in thousand diff
ferent ways. Every year adds largely tc
the number here who are writing glowing
descri ptions to their friends in the Older
States; and the consequence is. that eact
successive year the tide increases. and
will SO contiaue, until our State is thick
ly settled by an Industrious and thrifty
population. As a general thing. on,
emigrant who comes upon the strength
of what he has seen. or upon the iudg.
ment OF personal friend in whom he
has confidence. is worth as much as hall
adozen who. ready to fit any " here. come
because they have read a glowing de.
scription written for the purpose by su
interested person. whom they never hesrd
