didn't seem TO take much interest In
the subsequent proceediugs indeed il is
doubtful il either be or bis colleagues
would ever mention il again, il come
body didn't remind them of it. These
little incidents are 30 easily forgotten,
THE QUORUM PRESENT
Was retained without difficulty. The
boilers couldn't get out OF the House
and 80, NolenS voLens, they helped the
transaction OF business. The Road
Law was again called up, the agree
ment 10 the amendments re-considered,
the amendments disagreed to, aud the
bill returned to the Senate. After the
transaction OF some other business, the
House adjourned.
THE REPUBLICAN BOLT
Was q bad failure. 1t had nothing 10
justify it in the first place. 1t proclaim,
ed their determination, as they cou 'dn't
get the Jaw they wanted If they wanted
any not to have any law at sll, and
thus to throw upon the Democrats the
responsibility for the failure which
their bolt had brought about They
were cireumvented aud exposed. The
people will now understand that these
Republican gentlemen who have been
obstructionisis all winter, have now be-
come revolutioDists, desiring to throw
the legislature into anarchy in order to
accomplish their own purposes. Men
80 reckless OF public interests, 40 furious
in their devotion TO psrliZsn success
are necessarily uuiriendly in their in-
fiuence upon good government and the
peace Of society. Saturdays work is
ample to convince the people that the
Republicans OF this State are no less
lswless and dangerous than they were
in the days OF their power. The re-
minder may be useful.

Carrying the Mail.
The Senatorial Postal Car Company
resu ned lis session this morning. The
first speaker, HinckIey, argued in favor
of the railroad companies being paid by
met-urment tor carrying mail matter
instead o. by weight as at present, and
opposed the introduction IN postal cars
INSTEAD OF stoves, as provided In the new
pr.tal bill. y Davis, Assistant Super
Intendent Of the Railroad Postal ser
VICE replied in the behalf OF the Post
office Department. He said the argu>
ments showing how much better tue
railroad companies are paid for carry
iny express matter, freight, etc, were
intricate and could be better answered
some future time. He read from the
Postmaster Generals annual report Of
1859 TO show that the remuneration tor
u,.,.l car service has been increasing
!, uroportion to the growth OF the
mail services. ln answer TO the ques''on
WHY such discrimination, as only IL
c.n,s WAS made on one branch OF b llne
while g. cents were allowed tor the
.ame amount Of services on another
branch OF the same road.

SId Jim Laue-A Graphic picture.
Kansas Letter TO the s.. Louis Republican
Old jim Lane stood at the head o.
the regime OF the Kansas corrupionists
AZ long as he lived, being ably and
piously seconded and supported by
Pomerov. The only difference between
Pomerov and Lane is, that Pomeroy is
sleek and slv, and covers up his tracks,
while Lane was gruff and audacious'
snd killed those who got on his trsl ,
which he always let stark plain. Lane
-lepps " der the shadow OF the State
University OF Kan. amid the memories
that ne made famous and that made
him great. 1t was no odds how well
YOU knew the intrinsic debauchery Of
nis lie or tue cursedness OF his char
acter, YOU could not sland in his rugged
urpsence without a feeling Of awe and
respect born OF admiration for the very
III ,h qualities in him, which in other
men are despised and loathed. Ei~in
Forrest was not his superior In dra-
matte intensity and impetuosity. He
commanded men as a lion or tiger
might awe lesser beasts
He could walk into a
crowd that welcomed him with
the clicking OF a hundred revolver
locks, and in FIVE minutes every man IN
the crowd would have spilled the blood
ri.nt out of his own heart in tiLhtrng
for jim Lane. He could stand mute
he ore a kissing and groaning mob, and
in two minutes you could have heard
the breath OF love in the air rustic the
scented lres.es OF maiden IN the
hueh which would be there. He
could stand before the aud ences,
speaking 10 them with those great cav
ernous eyes OF his, while his lips
were shut and still, raise his
hand, and every one would rise
with his gesture; lover his hand,
and everyone would cit down
obedient TO the wonderful electricity oi
his will. He WAS one OF those men
whose utter failure to comprehend that
there is such a thing as danger, made
his great cOurge OF no particular credit
TO him. His impulses ruled him Ut
terl,; and he never could see anything
between himself aud the object sought.
# there was anv obstacle, he always
looked right over the top Of 1t, and
walked over or through it with the
same unheeding unconcern. The pos
sibltv that there was or might he any
thing that he could not overcome was a
suspicion that his mind had no room to
entertain. And when he pulled the
trigger OF his own Derringer, with the
cold muzzle against his lips, / doubt il
he realized that there was any personal
danger in the act.
His religion was a curious compound
of wondering superstition aud vague
ldolatry, devoted to- external observance
and forms. He was Methodist and
his idea OF the plan OF salvation was
about AS clear as a Pawuee's compre'
bension OF the logarithmic tables bt
sees the surveyor using in his compu-
rations. But jim Lane corrupted Kan
sac and laid the foundation OF tha
penalrv which eliminated in the tribu,
lation of Caldwell and the other lll'
and scandals OF the rotten common
wealth.

THE CINCINNATI EXPOSITION
Ninety-Six Thousand Visitors in Eight
Days-Splendid Display Of I'M
mense Attractions,

CINCINNATI, September 12.-The at
tendance at the exposition for the first
eight days, closing yesterday, was
ninety-siXl thousand, being nineteen
thousand more than for the correspond
ing first eight days last year. As dis
play, everybody pronOunces it immense
ly in advance of its predecessor, while
in respect to quantity and value, and
especially the latter, it is without
parallel in the history Of Cincinnati eX-
positions. There are sixteen depart
ments, and scarcely one of them, re-
ports say, have ever been equalled in
this country. In the music pavilion
three concerts are given daily by the
best bands in the city, who have re-
heaFsed for months for the occasion.
The government signal service has Off
GERS in the building where reports are re
ceived and printed daily. The stove
display is wonderful, far surprising
anything of the kind ia extent,
variety, and value. Power hall
has two hundred and seventy-three
machines moving, of which one hun
dred and forty are propelled by steam
the Others by hand. In addition to these
are seventy tive bulky machines lying
Idle, making three hundred and forty
eight machines. The department OF
natural history is very full. The floral
hall was never surpassed in perfection,
variety and rarity Of plants exhibited
The art hall contains three hundred oil
paintings, four hundred engravings, one
hundred water-coloTs and drawings,
three hundred and sixty articles OF
household and twenty-five architectural
drawings, ,twenty-one large Photographic
views Of the Yosemite valley, besides
great photographs and oil-paintings OF
French, Flemish and German schools.
The wstef-colofs represent a German
station and English schools. Two
Turner pictures are in the collection,
both water colors. An installment OF
nine pictures from Dusseldorf, sent es-
pecially for this exposition, arrived to-
day and were put on the walls. The at
tendance from abroad is especially large
this week.
