A STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

Ought not Kansas to have an active,
working State historical society during
these, the early years of its history.
Without the common work of such a
society, the most important of its
most turbulent times, and of men who
are engaged in the conflicts, will be
lost to history. No provision has been
made for the rescue and preservation of
the exact incidents which TRANSFERRED
during the early years of its settlement.
These will ere long be lost, or as soon
as the men and women who were actors
ed away. Nearly every community
will be likely to have some person in
its midst who was an observer, and an
actor, in those early conflicts, and whose
experiences and observations will ere
long be forgotten and lost in the scram-
BILE for the manufacture of new history.
There are those now living who are
able to detail with all neceaary minute
ness the characters and acts of the pion-
GERS who came here to eontend-the one
for the enlargement of the domains of
freedom; and the other for the extern
sion OF slavery. The career of old John
Brown, and Lane, and Stringfellow and
their colaborers and sympathizers, are
connected with matters that ought to be
carefully preserved rs events In the his
tory of Kansas.
Not the least important among the
appropriate acts of State historical So
eiety, is the accumulation of library
and cabinet of articles connected with
early history, as well ss of those which
are the work of the passing psFiOa. A
very large proportion of these may be

the cars with pIeurisy. He was unable
to sit up yesterday, and on his arrival
here, was conveyed 10 the residence of
Vice President Colfax. The attack, al
though not of serious character, was
sufficient to cause great anxiety on the
part of his friends, but at late hour
last night he was much better, and his
recovery deemed certain. If he is well
enough to-day, which is improbable,
the Commissioners, and their officers,
will call upon the President in a body.
VERSAILLES, March 27.-Thiers made
an eloquent, though brief, address in
the assembly to-day, in which he de-
Tended the wisdom of his policy and
took solemn oath that he would not
betray the republic.
LONDON, March 28.-The Times spec
ial says that Paris has nearly resumed
its usual appearance. OF 100000 cleo
tors in Paris, only 100000 voted at the
elections of Sunday. Twenty of the
commissioners were elected. It is ex-
pected that Blangue will be President
of the new government, aud that its
powerful center will be Flourens, Rgatt,
Deloscluse, Lefrenc and Versailles.
Four generals are occupied at Yer
sailles with the question of the military
reorganization of the country. The
Times special states that the Prussians
daily ask the Versailles government to
agree to German occupation of Paris
and that they are as frequently re-
| fused.

WADE AND THE BUGGIsTs.

The rage of Wade is fearful to behold.
He has turned himself into a volcano of
profanity. He asserts that Grant has sent
him down here with set of damned
fools who, now that their work is done,
want to sport around the West India
Islands and scoop up all the snakes and
lizards. He swears and sweats, and
sweats and sWears in the hot sun until
one could almost imagine that his great
soul was just ready to jump out OF his
body. The fact is, Ben wants 10 go home.
His work is done, and he don't want to
loaf any longer. He objects to being
the figure-head of a gang of crazy bug
gists, who are necessarily talking about
scarei, umbelliferous, and lugiminous
orders, arachnida, coprophagi, anthro-
pomorpha, the phytelephasmacrocarpa,
lacertina, thorictes, and other damned
nonsense" as Ben calls it. The other
day one of the buggists came on board
with a fat spider strung to stick.
''What in the name of heaven is that p

The old War Horse gazed at it one
moment and then growled out, ''The

Soon after another buggist came or

Ben it was the most complete specimen
of the homocersal and heterocersal pla

lawyer TO protect him from harm, does
not this lawyer become a partner in his
clients guilt, does he not prostitute his
profession by making it sort of "city
of refuge" for all manner of rogues /;
and is he not responsible in great part
for the existence of vice and crime?
This question has been recently dis
cussed with great vigor clearmess and
ability by the Hon. David Dudley Field,
who has been defending with eminent
skill that pair of public plunderers Fisk
q Gould, and by Mr.. Samuel Bowles,
editor of the Springfield Republican.
In this controversy in which the latter
maintained that lawyer is responsible
for SO defending a notorious scamp as
to make it safe for him to continue his
nefarious practices and the former that
he is not responsible, Mr.. Bowles is
universally acknowledged to have COM
pletely wOrsted his opponent.

Among the prominent officials who

Davis, Miller and Bradley of the U. S.
Supreme Court Secretary Robson,

House were on the floor. There has
not been so large a crowd in the Senate

The galleries in the Senate were
crowded Monday at an early hour to
hear Senator Sumner on the San Do
mingo question. He charged the Pres
ident with being a copartner with Baez,
whom he characterizes as an unscrupu-
lous usurper, and that Grant originated
the annexation scheme. He said, at
the commencement of his speech, that
the u. S. Navy, acting under orders
from Washington had been guilty of
violent measures and belligerent inter-
vention without authority of Congress,
and that this was for the sole purpose
of acquiring foreign territory-half an
island in the caribbean sea, and that
such violent measures had been adopt
ed to prop and maintain a usurper in
power until he could sell his country.
The Senator confined himself closely to
public documents and official commun-
ications to the Senate, and showed too
clearly that means have been adopted
for the acquisition of San Domingo that
cannot be justified.

TEXAS CATTLE.
Some Facts About the Wide Horns.

AS matter of general and local in
terest, we reproduce from the columns
of the Missouri Democrat of the 23d,
the following interesting particulars,
furnished by a correspondent of that
paper. He says he is assured by some
of the best informed stock men that the
nunaDer of cattle to be driven out of
Texas this season will largely exceed
the quantity driven last year, and will
amount to about 750, 600 to 900,00 head !;
and this at the average price paid for
beef cattle; say S14, will amount to
SI2,6O0,OOO. 1t is estimated that $780,
600 head will be driven to Abilene, and
about 400, 1000 head to other points.
The distance from Austin to Abilene
is 800 miles, and the time required to
drive this distance is about two uIopths
and ten TO twelve days. A drove of
cattle is made up of say 5000 to 5000
head, and is sub-divided into lots of L.
500 head, with fifteen mounted drivers,
and some twenty extra ponies; the boss
driver gets $3.50 per month, and the
drivers S20-gold: the cow-ponies cost
S45 each; the distance made each day
averages twelve to fifteen miles; the
herd grazes in the morning to about 8
O'Clock, then stop and Craze until about
two o'clock, when the line of march is
again resumed and travel to 5 o'clock,
when the drove grazes to dark; one
third of the hands now "wind up" as
they call it, that is, drive the cattle to-
gether, and they are watched all night
the third being relieved at intervals
of every five hours by the other hands,
who have in the interim snatched few
hours of sleep. This cattle driving
business is no joke, as it requires all
hands and the boss driver and the cow
ponies to do their level best, and fire.
quently stampede occurs in the night,
and there is hard work and some flu
rious riding and hard swearing done be-
fore the drove is again brought togeth-
er. The stock is being considerably
lessened in the State, but there is from
s 100000 to 100000 cattle, that is
stock cattle, in the State. Some 10000
head will go north from radius of fifty
miles from San Antonio, and $1,000
head of beef cattle will be driven from
Uralde county, west of there.
