"LooK TO THE SESATE."-Such was the exela-
nation of celebrated whig statesman, years
ago. The Democracy had the President and q
large majority in the Lower .House of Congress,
and were running things wild, without any re-
gard to the wishes or the rights of the minority.
But the Wings still retained majority in the
Senate, which operated as a check upon the 9TH
erwise general looseness of the Democracy. Thus
1t was that the Whig statesman, as forlnrn hope,
exclaimed, Look to the seuatep
II was blessing to Kansas, that she had q
State Senate which held over from the previous
year, before Reform" ran Wild. Had it not
been for that Senate, there Is no telling what
havoc might have been played with the laws and
the interest of the State by the wild Texas steers
who were running the Reform machine, and the
demagognes who were not elected as Reformers
but who tried 10 ontvie them in ridiculous bun
combe. The Senate defeated rome meritorious
measures passed by the House, and adopted some
that should have been defeated; bat they stran.
gled many bantiing of recklcssness. that would
have worked mischief or injustice.
Among the bills passed by the House and de
feated in the Set ate, was one regulating fees
An effort was made to cut down the salaries o.
Judges TO a less snm than a jackleg country law
yer can make by his practice; and to reduce til,
salaries of responsible County officers to the stan
dard of that of clerk in country grocery. wber
men 20 wild on retrenchment and reform, they
lose sight of the fact that the man who spends
his time and money in years of study TO qualif,
himself for an important position, or the maj
who is required to give heavy bond and assume
grave responsibilities in public Office, is cnti
tied to better psy than aeoinmOn iaburcr, wh'
employs muscle only in his business risking mt
capital and exercising no brain power.

RvyS M THE ScEST.-None but those who
have watched them, year after year, have any
idea of the perseverance, Of men who once form
design to pluudrr public treasury. There is
M LET Nh TO them. As often as their snouts are
licked from the trough, they return as persist
.n,lv AZ an old SOW to the swill-pOt. In the sp-
preparation bill passed by the late Legislature,
occurs this item:
TOT -. Ia IN The rrsr 1861 two hundred dollars,
nrnyided II shall be in fun settlement Of sale eiAm
aTberep we involuntarily exclaimed; "old
,-olfstin can has made his point at last" At
,hs time Coz. Crawford raised his Indian regi-
nsnt this man West sold horses to some ire
sponsible parties: and every Winter since, he
has been besiegiug the Legislature to pay him for
them. The claim was rejected, time after time
Init he still kept coming, and now this Reform
Leeis,sture has paid claim which they had no
more right to pay them they would the claim of
some man who had lost his money by playing
with monte dealers.
Miller & Co., of Leavenworth, were in the
habit of coming up with a big bill for heating
apparatus for the Capitol building. Several years
ago, the Legislature allowed them q sum, with
the express provision, that their acceptance Of il
should BE- considered As Payment in full of their
whole claim Yet they had their little claim be-
fore this Legislature which, however, rejected it.
A.. W. Callen, Of Davis County, made his an
nual pilgrimage with claim for horse-fesh. 1t
was repeatedly rejected; but we believe he got
1t allowed last Winter.
For many years, H. W. FarnswOrth had in his
little bill for bringing 6 prisoner from some
where, and finally made it win.
For more years still, John C. Douglass brought
IN his claim for some service to the Territory. We
believe that his perseverance was crowned with
success, within the last year or two.
1t is about time that Flora & Co. should renew
their claim for loss on Peuitentiary contract.
These are few specimens Of the way the peo-
pie of the State are heeced to pay for some mems
losses in foolish specnlations or bad trades.

II Lickspit J. Perry, of the Paola Post-ofice,
is hugely incensed because of the truthful pic
tnre we drew of him. We are somewhat disap-
pointed at this. We fondly hoped that Lick.
would be pleased With the compliment. We al
ways crave the good will of little whiffets that
bark round the corners in the interest of big
However, we are still of the opinion that good

IT Is, ExAcTLY.-The Leavsnworth Call, in An
article concerning D. R. Anthony applying for
Office to men whom be opposed and denounced,
uses the following language:
wil they forgive such insultsl II 1t Is wiser to
fight men in power from whom hope for fsvors,
than to support them"
We thought the editor Of the Call was old in
his knowledge of Kansas politicians and their
gratitude; but he is only as a sucking babe, if
he il yet to learn that the men who oppose and
abuse candidates for Office, are the ones who re-
ceivs the most favors from them when elected;
while the men who bear the brunt of the fight,
and make election sure are permitted to enjoy
the sweet reward of their own virtue unmolest-
cd by the men whom they have made-until
election time comes round again, and the same
men need more help. In short, the old stager of
the Call ought to know that it is more profitable
in Kansas to oppose a man than it is to favor
him, If the mans success is due to this support.

bic. The principal engraving is an excellent and
natural picture, "Tbe Renewal Of the Lease Re-
