A GOOD DAYs WoRK.-On the last day of the
session Of the Legislature, the Governor strangled
three bills, by which the State will be saved an
immense amount of money.
The FIRST was the bill providing, among Other
things, for the semi-annual payment of taxes
That measure, while of doubtful benefit to the
taxpayer, would have disarranged and delayed
the interest three -fourths of the bonds Of the
State, and would have had bad effect ON all
Kansas bonds.
The second was bill obligating the State to
pay the costs Of criminal cases. A few Counties
have heavy amount of criminal business, while
majority of the Counties have very little; yet
the whole State would he taxed to pay the costs,
amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually. This bill was stolen through the Leg
islatnre, during rush to make up for time that
had been fooled away and wasted.
The third was called bill to encourage manu.
facturers-in plain terms, it was to permit heavy
manufacturers to reach into the Treasury and
take out the amount they had paid for municipal
and Township taxes, leaving that burden to be
borne by the small mechanics, laboring men, and
farmers.

PERTINENT.-The St. Louis Democrat pertinent
ly suggests q consideration Of the following nice
points Of proprie.y:
There is nice point Of propriety at issue in
the United States Senate, and we hope it will be
satisfactorily settled before long, Let us explain
Mr.. Schurz and Mr.. Sumner trump up the vilest
conceivable charges against the Administration,
and consider themselves exemplary patriots for
doing 80. Mr.. C0nkling suggests an inquiry
into the motives Of Mr.. Schurz, and he is met
with the lOftiest scorn and the most abiect con-
tempt. From this it would appear that it is al
ways in order to suppose that the President acted
from the worst of impulses, but it is never cor
rect to intimate that Senator who opposes the
Administration is not prompted soley by con-
sderations of the public good. Again: Mr.
Trumbull arraigns the Administration for making
corrupt and incompetent appointments, and
thereby proves himself Q statesman of great
merit Mr.. Morton tries to ascertain how many
Of these bad appointments were recommended by
Mr.. Trumbuli; and thereupon Mr. Morton is trea-
ted with solemn and inexpressible contempt by
Mr.. Trumbull, as if the former had done some
thing beneath the dignity of Senator Now, we
would like to see the line drawn in this impor-
tant matter. We would like to known where
that high moral code comes from which holds a
President to such strict accountability, while at
the same time it gives such unrestricted liberty
to Senator. As it stands at present. it is quite
too much for our comprehension"

been a row in "cOlored" church in Savannah.
The minister, it appears, was unpopular, and the
flock flung hymn hooks at him, and contribution
boxes, and even bibles Suppose that we should
give n list Of many similar disturbances which
have occurred in various "white" churches at
the North during two or three years last past 1t
would not be difficult. We have several scandal
Gus tnmnlts in our memory, without making any
search for them. Perhaps what the Black Zion

Mrs. LINCOLN AND OLD ABE's GHosT.-A few
days ago paragraph in the Herald, bused upon
what was known to he good authority announ-
ccd that Mrs. Abraham Lincoln had recently
visited Boston, and iseogRito and closely veled
attended public seaRce of a well-known lady
medium on Washington street, ON which occasion
the spirit Of her lamentetl husband appeared, and
by unmistakable manifestation, revealed to all
present the identity of Mrs. Lincoln, which she
had attempted to keep secret. We have now the
best authority for saying, that the report was in
all respects accurate; that Mrs. Lincoln did visit
Boston Oil the 9Th inst; that she took lodgings at
the Parker House, registering her name as Mrs.
Linder; that she remained there ten days, during
which time she made frequent visits to the me-
dium above mentioned, and that while at the
hotel, her identify was discovered by q person
who had seen her at Washington. She desired to
have her visit to Boston unknown, but the in
junction Of secrecy ceased to be binding after the
revelation at the public seaRce. 1t ID further
stated by those in . position to know, that the
interviews with the medium were Of the most
satisfactory nature, afforlng tests Of the real
presence Of the spirit of her husband.-Boston

@G~NaS HAIR
i2eNRENEWER,

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
tion for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. It removes all eruptions and
dand-uff, and, by its tonic proper
tics, prevents the hair from falling
ont, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tions, and gives the hair a splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
Md State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, aThe constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and l consider it
the BEsr PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

He Is UNHAPPY.-Onc ANDREW STARK, whilom
inventor of certain windmill, indulges in
puff of his favOrite element in late issue of the
Topeka Commonwealth, relative to the temperance
bill that was before the Legislature. His CON-
plant is that JENNIsoN pOcketed the bill, and
that majority of the Senators would not vote to
compel him to report it back. STARK THINKS those
Senators were guilty of great outrage especially
in view of the fact that the bill was got up by the
State Temperance Convcntion-One of whom he
was which.
The facts about that Temperance law are about
these: The bill was introduced in the House, and
after bitter fight of many days. was so altered
and amended before it passed, that its authors
scarcely recognized it, and the warmest friends of
the original bill had lost all interest in it, 1t was
generally pronounced less efficient than the pres
ent law in most particulars, while it was an i'm
provement in but very few; and it made the pro-
cess for obtaining license to sell liquor easier
than the present law. The friends of the bill in
the Legislature did not seem to care anything for
its suecess-the most they desired was that it
should be brought to vote, and not be smothered
in the pocket of Committee. The cause of tenn
pcrance has lost nothing in its failure, and the
State Temperance Convention would not have
recognized its offspring, if it had passed. Had
there been any special merit in the bill it wonld
not have been permitted to die in JENNIsON's
pocket.

SNODDY.-The papers are going for SNoDDY, on
account of q new piece Of villainy perpetrated by
him: He obtained seat as delegate in the Law
renee Convention, and was chosen President of
the Convention, when he was really not entitled
to sit in the Convention. The proof on this point
is positive. An examination of the official rec
ords shows that he was neither Postmaster, a
revenue officer, nor the occupant of Land Of
fee. And yet. he had the impudence to claim to
be Delegated

LEAvENwORTH-We recently spent . portion
of day in Leavenworth, which we improved by
looking around. Through the kindness of Col. d.
X. ANTHONY, We were shown the Marrow Gauge
outft. Their engines and cars are snug and hand
some looking, and are got up in the best style,
with all the latest improvements The Narrow
Gauge is likely to prove a success.
The railroad bridge is almost completed, and is
having its effect upon business. Two months ago,
LeavenwOrth seemed almost dead Now, things
are looking lively, and everybody is in good spir-
its. The business houses again being filled mp,
and several heavy wholesale houses are being
opened.
The wholesale dry goods house of BRIGGS,
SAUNDERS & TOWNSEND is just getting under
way. This house is said to have very strong
backing, and to be one of the most substantial in
the West. When railroad freights become properly
regulated, they will be able to compete with all
comers for the trade of Northern Kansas and
Southern Nebraska.
In Groceries, COCHRAN, BrTrNANN & TAYLOR
still keep the lead west of the Missouri River They
have already pioneered theirway into this part of
the country, and are building up trade in spite of
freight disadvantages. They have shown what
business energy can accomplish under unfavora-
bic circumstances, and given an indication of
what they will be able to do when they have an
equal chance in the way of freights.
