Ffosh tke N. 7. Times.
The revelations Of the census, so far as
they are known, afford little encouragement
to the schemes that are in preparation for
making considerable addition to the roll of
States. The influences that may be relied
upon to promote this object are neither few
nor unimportant; but they afford no justifca-
tion for premature enlargement of Federal
representation in the House. The reason
able rule to be observed In sHch cases is clear
A Territory, to be qualified for admission as
a State, should have population at least
equal to the ratio laid down as the basis of
representation. That SO small population
sends two Senators to Washington, while
New York sends no more, is sufficiently ano-
nalous. But this equality Of State represen-
tati0R In the Senate is an essential condition
OF Federal unity, and though small politicians

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, Nov. Il.
We are in Lawrence glorious young
city, founded, defended and built up by our
modern Alexander Of the Great West, Gene
ri Pomeroy. For the authenticity of this
statement please see recent number Of the
New York Ledger. We mean for the proof
of the latter clause of that initiatory sentence.
We know We are here, and so do other per-
sons whose testimony would not be doubted.
Lawrence wants railroads built, according to
the original plan, in order to realize her des-
tiny. Her people know as well as do the
business men of Leavenworth, that the orig
inal propositions made by the railroad build
er,, and which received ready response
from the people of the Kansas Valley, are
not carried out. The people fthis rich and
wonderfully prosperous country have done
their part. Their servants in high places we
fear, have done more than their part

A Horrible Calamlty.


One of the most shocking accidents that We
have vet been called upon to record, hap
pened to-day, at the head of Hop Creek.
about six miles west of town. The partic-
ulars as near as we have been able to CLEAN
them, are as follows: Some months ago a
vsgabond by the name of Nichols, having
been arrested and sent to Jail for stealing,
left in the possession of Mr.. Patrick Quigley,
who lived near by, box which the owner
represented to contain nothing but some ar
ticles of clothing and dry goods. This morn
ing Mr.. Quigley left his home to work on
the railroad, and while here in town a mes
senger came after him with the hOrrifying
information that while his wife was out Of
the house attending to some Of her domestic
affairs, his two little children had got to play
ing about the box, and during their innocent
pastime had removed a portion of the fimey
covering upon it, when, by some unknown
means, lot of powder and fuse contained
therein INSTEAD of dry goods and clothing)
had become ignited and exploded, killing
the little girl, who was four years of age,
and burning the other child, who was only
in such horrible manner that it is impoe-
sible for it to live. The little girls breast,
over the region of the heart, was burned to
a crisp, and she expired in fifteen minutes.
The other child from its waist down is a.
sight that would make the strongest nerve
culver, and all that can be done for it is to
partly soothe the terrible sufIerings that it
must undergo during the few hours that its
little life can exist.
We deeply ympathize with the bereaved
parents in this the severest affection that
could possibly have befallen them; and We
hope there is Law that can reach
the fiend that would, BY such villainous mis-
representations, bring about such terrible
calamity.
We are indebted to DR.. E. L. Wilson,
who has been attending the suffering child,
for the above particulars.

THE NEW PARTY AND THE SOUTH.

1t will be for the material advantage of
Kansas, if the South and the Democrats sue
coed in forming new party, tor the North
ern emigration and the European emigration
will never 60 to States controlled by the DEM
ocratic party, ard not entirely free in speech,
press, and manhood. What Missouri, Ken
tuckv, Virginia and other Southern States
lose, will be gained by States like Kansas,
and chiefly by this State on account of its
climatic advantages.
The South has never received Northern
or European immigration, and the reason
has been plain-it was found in slavery and
in evils which accompany slavery every
where. Since the termination of the war the
Southern States have begged for Europeans
to come and live with them. The invitation
has not been accepted, and it seems now
probable that it never will be. Free labor
demands free laws, good order, freedom from
strife, violence, blood shed. 1t can have no
sympathy with Kukluxian tendencies.
The vote of Missouri, Maryland, Kentucky,
Alabama and Florida indicates that those
States have gone to the Democracy, and gone
to stay until free schools, the spread of intel
lisence and general uprising drives them
from it. The chief newspapers in Chicago,
st. Louis and Cincinnati are now swinging
away from the Republican party. Some OF
them are openly Democratic, and some only
call themselves "Revenue Reformers.'
They mean war with Republicans, and they
mean union with Democrats everywhere, and
they already boast of electing the next
Speaker of the House and the next President
How long their zeal viii last it is impossible
to tell. If the country ever tries Free Trade,
pure and simple, it will be satisfied with a
very short trial OF it. And if the country
ever submits to Tammany Hall and its
shameless crimes, it will repent of the exper-
iment in sackcloth and ashes.
Our own State is happily removed from
the arena of strife. We had the measles i'm
our infancy. Those who take it in their old
age have it hard" Kansas stopped bleed
ing some years ago, and she is SO well pleased
with growth and prosperity that she proposes
to stick to them.
