The last Legislature comes in for the
usual share of abuse from several papers
in the State. II is chronic with some
editors to tell the people every year that
the men composing the Legislature are
a set of thieves, public plunderers, etc.
1t seems as easy and natural for them to
write abusive articles about the Legis-
lature as it is for boarding school Misses
to write essays on ''home," "spring" and
flowers" Some editors never seem to
reflect that the Legislature is composed,
with few exceptions, of respectable men
taken from the various communities in
the State, who have at heart the welfare
of the State about as much as some OF
the wise ink-slingers. 1t would not be
much of a compliment on the people OF
the various districts To say they usually
pick out some scoundrel and run him
for the Legislature. So far as our OBJ
servation goes the Legislatures of Kan
sas have mostly been composed ofvery
decent men, who did what they thought
best for the interests of their constitu-
ents. Editors of fifty or n hundred
miles cannot judge correctly of the mo-
tives that govern legislative bodies
They may denounce them for actt
which they themselves would favor
were they to occupy the places ofmem
bers, under the same circumstances, anC
in their denunciations editors frequent
/ " make themselves very ridiculous. W.
would not shield any man or set of mel
for doing wrong, in the least degree
but after reading many of the denuncia
lions of the last Legislature, we come t
the conclusion that many of them ar
mere senseless verbiage, and good.
portion of them entire falsehoods. Ed
itors would do wen TO ssfill up" wit
something else, unless they have facts t
write about.

Our risibilities were somewhat ex-
cited at the expense of 81. S. b. the
travelling correspondence of the Lawrence
Tribune, in reading his letter in that pa
per of last Wednesday. This letter
contains quite lecture on the ignor-
ance of the people about the geography
of the State, and mentions several ms
tances of the misnaming of several i'm
portant streams by travellers, some OF
whom were old settlers. Boughton has
travelled the State extensively and ought
to be well posted. The laugh comes
in where he mentions the substantial
bridge across the Smoky Hill at Coun-
Gil Grove.

MORE COAL DISCOVERIES.

HARTFoRD, KAs., March Ii, 1870.
EDIroR TRmUEE: Among the discov-
cries of Kansas can be enumerated
vein of coal on A. Mckee's farm, about
three miles south of Hartford. The
main vein is fourteen inches thick. Be
low this is n vein about four inches
thick. and which resembles camel coal.
The miners say Il Is the best coal that
has been discovered. This vein is about
fifteen feet from the surface, and prom
ises 10 Weld immense quantities of very
fine coal. Yours, truly,

three hundred millions of circulation,
