FROM Topeka.
The Legislature = Republican ResOIu-
tiOns, Etc


The Legislature has done nothing
yet Of particular importance, except
to repeal the Infamous mortgage ex-
emtion law of last winter.
All the newspaper postage and
other "dead beat" measures usaluly
passed, were defeated this session.
About three hundred bills have
been introduced, a large number of
which relate TO railroad matters.
There has been 3 little too much re-
form bnncombe, but that matter
will regulate itself after q few
weeks.
Last Friday and Saturday, were
spent in the Senate in discussing
resolutions expressing confidence in
the Republican party, denouncing
the salary grab, etc. The PROPOSE
ton passed the Senate almost unan-
imously there being 26 votes in IA
vor and only 6 against. This was
regarded as . Republican triumph,
and the old Republicans were jubi-
liant. On Monday night Republi-
can caucus was held lasting till
midnight, to discuss the probability
Of the Republican party, being en-
dorsed In the House. Tuesday the
resolutions came to q vote in that
body, and were indefinitely post
poned by nearly two-thirds vote.
The gentlemen who were trying to
draw the forty lines, are not SO ju-
bilant as they were. While the
House is largely Republican, 1t il
anti-partizan, and does not wish to
occupy the time in discussing pure
ly political questions.
The Senator matter is decidedly
mixed and it would be more than
foolishness to even guess at the re-
suit. There Is less excitement than
we have ever seen before in Kansas
over q Senatorial election. The
friends of the different candidates
are making some show, but the
Tefft House is deserted compared
with other Senatorial contests.
The members from the South
west are working hard for the good
of their constituents. The legisla
ture is doing more work than eveI
before on the occasion of Sena
torial election. They are pitching
in as though there was nothing
going to happen next week.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
pIExNIAL SESSIONS.

L renew my recommendation that
proposed amendment to the cons
tuition providing for biennial ses-
sions of the legislature be submitted
to the people. The system gives
entire satisfaction in the states
where It is in force, and as it would
relieve the people of a large OK
pense, think we ought to adopt it.
In cases of emergency the legisla-
ture could be convened by the proc
lamation of the governor, as is now
provided, while additional provis-
ion might be made for adjourned
sessions when necessary. We are
burdened with too much legislation.
The enactments of one session are
scarcely brought to the attention of
the people at large before they are
repealed, or amended beyond re-
cognition. Biennial sessions would
dispense with much useless legisla-
ton, and give to the people more
general knowledge of the laws.
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
1t will be your duty to divide the
state into three congressional dis
tricts. This duty is imperative, be-
cause we will not be permitted, I'M
der the legislation of congress, to
elect representative on q general
ticket hereafter. The districts
ought to be established not alone
with view to present equality of
population, but. as the division now
made must stand until after the ap-
portioument based upon the census
of 1880, with regard also TO popu-
loGinr N tho fs1f Hha
fiicting claims of candidates aud To-
calities have. postponed this work |
for two sessions; they should not
have feathers weight with vou
now.
Usage CEDED LANDS. 1t
The controversy in regard to the |
title of the Usage Coded Lands Is |
not vet settled. This tract of land
nearly one million of /
acres, was by treaty proclaimed on /
the 2lst of January, 1867, eeded to |

vides that the Glands shall be sur

you memorial congress to initiate
the Necessary measures to that end.
The experience of the New En-.
gland states have shown that their
large legislatures are practically q
bar to the employment of corrupt
appliances. In ike manner the
unworthy arts successfully used
for the control of Legislature
" ould be used IN vain against the
whole body of the people. If it
be urged that, in such case, the
! choice of senators would be REMIT
ted to political conventions, where
corrupt influences would still pro-

ly necessary to reply that there
is nothing in the code of morals
which would war. ant or justify
any political party ia rstifying>the
