For the Risas.

Tor:xA, Feb. So-The Opposition
meeting to night was one OF the pleas.
ATTEST occasions in the political history
of Kansas. 1t Vas hcil in the Senate
chamber, OK Gov. K ,jins"l presiding.
The attendance numbered seventy to
eighty, which included almost every
Opposition member in both branches OF
the Legislature. The meeting WAS en-
tirely confined to al informal di cassion
of the situation af tho State, no resola-
ton or formal statement of position
being proposed or passed. Brief and
pithy remarks were male by John A..
Goolin, Congressman elect from the
Second District, Senator'S Parkinson,
Maltby, Bartlett and Baaserman, Rep.
resentatives John Martha. Blair and
Walker, S. Riggs and others
Reference was made to the unprece-
dented course ON the part of Lieut.. Gov.
Salter: and Speaker Funston in making
the Committees on Ways and Means so
Is to insure appropriations Of the vast
sums Of the State Money without the
knowledge of the Opposition as to the
necessities or validity of claims, it being
characterized Al worthy only of the
authors Of the Louisiana outrage. The
proceedings throughout were harmoni-
Gus, the general feeling being that it was
good to be there.-Kansas City Times.

The Walnut Valley Times pays a
tribute to the. congressional.s,ser OF
Hon. d. P. Lowe, reviewing his course
in congress for the past four years, the
Times concludes in the following words:
although the judge has repeatedly
stated that he intends to return tn
private life at the expiration of his tern,
of his Office, we are of the opinion that
the people of this state cannot afford to
lose him from the councils of The nation.
Should the republican party of this state
or nation conclude to call him to a
higher position, his many thousand
friends in this portion of Kansas would
delight in rendering him their votes and
their influence to that end Whatever po-
sition in life our honorable representa-.
tive may be called to fill, he will carry
with him the best wishes of a grateful
people,"

Senator Schufs presented q meunorial,

amended as to abolish the Office of Pfesl.
dent and Vice President, the powers
now belonging to them to be vested in a
council Of seven members to be chosen
by the House of Representatives.
The Committee on privileges and
Elections reported resolution declaring
Pinchback as entitled to seat as SEN

ordered printed and to lie on the table.

On the 9th inst. Senator Ingalls, pre-
sented the resolutions of our Legislature,
asking Congress to make an appropriation
of 500, 900 to aid settlers on the western
frontier to purchase seed, and for their
support the coming year.

In the tariff and tax bill to be reported
by the committee on Ways and Means,
tea and coffee are to remain free. This
will receive the approval Of the people !;
but the tax on whisky and tobacco will
be increased, the (which" will not be 30
unanimously endorsed. In these hard
times-when water is so scarce-it would
be little hard on the people of this
State to have the tax on whisky increased.
However those in lola who sell the
"truck" don't have to pay any city IL
cense and perhaps they will continue to
sell to their customers at "grasshopper
prices."

The proposition of amending our State
Constitution 30 as to provide for biennial
sessions of the Legislature is favorably
received throughout the State. It is one
Of the most important questions now
before our Legislature. and We hope it
may receive their approval. With town.
ship elections every spring, general cleo
tions every fall, and the great number of
officers to do the small amount Of business
the running Of our State machinery is
very expensive; it looks - though it was
run in the interest of polite; Is instead
of the people.

CENSuRED.

In the debate on the Civil Rights Bill
in the House of Representatives on the
4th inst. quite an exciting scene occur
red. Mr.. Brown of Kentucky made some
very personal" and abusive remarks
which were supposed to apply to Ben
Butler. He was interrupted by the
Speaker and asked if he had reference to
a member of the House; but he said he
was merely describing character in his
minds eye, and was permitted to pro-
coed. At the close of this description,
however, Mr.. Brown was DESTROYS of
making personal application, but was
interrupted, and on motion-after an
exciting debate-it was ordered that he
be publicly censured by the Speaker in
the name of the House. Mr.. Brown was
conducted by the Sergeant-at-arns to
the front of the Speakers stand, where
the censure OF the House was admins
tered as follows:
"Mr. John Young Brown, you are
arraigned at the bar Of the house, under
its formal resolution, for having trans
gressed its rules by disorderly remarks,
and for having resorted to prevarication
when your attention was called to the
rules by the Speaker. For this dupli-
cate offence the house have directed that
you be publicly censured at its bar. No
words from the chair in performance of
this most painful duty could be uttered
to add to the gravity Of the occasion. 1t
remains only tn pronounce in the name
of the House its censure for the two
offenscs charged in the resolution"

ANDY JoHNsoN's election as Senator
from Tennessee has called for as many
comments from the press as the famous
Tilton- Beecher trial. The Democrats are
not sure enough of his future actions to
claim his election as great victory, and
the Republicans feel sure that on party
measures they could not count on his
support. He will probably be ''indepen-
dent" dealing blow here and there as
he thinks the interests of the Constitution
demands.

4 Send Oh.

At a late convention of the editors of
Indiana, held at Indianapolis, the follow
ing "send of" was given Mr.. Meridith ::
WHEREAS, Mr.. Fletcher Meridith. who
for long time has been the editor and
proprietor of The Franklin Banner, and
always an active and honorable member
of the association, has purchased The
Hutchison KAY M,es, and is about to
leave for his new field of labor therefore,
Resolved. That We part with Mr.. Meri-
dith with great regret, and extend to
him our best wishes for his future success
and prosperity; and we cordially COM
mend him to the peop'e and editors of
Kansas as a gentleman of experience in
his profession, and one who will add to
the influence and character of the press
of that State.

THE LEGISLATURE.

(pe mcmUefS VI our 1/cXlsiatuTc ScSu
to have desire for the building of ad
ditional railroads and increased facilities
for the transportation of freight and
passengers. Congress has been memorial
lied to grant the right OF way through
the Indian territory for different rail
ways, and to donate 100000 for the
Improvement OF the Galveston harbor.-
And a bill has been introduced grant
ing to Graverock & Co. the privilege
of improving the Marias DIES Cygnss Sc
that it will be navigable for light draft
boats from the eastern line of the State
20 Reading, in Lyon county.
The proposition to call a constitutional
convention will probably be defeated.
The one great question that has occu-
pied the time of our law makers is that
of "relief." All seem to acknowledge
the necessity for immediate action and
Assistance, and yet the question IS to
whether the legislature can constitution
ally vote bonds for the aid of our desti-
tute seems to bother our legislators.
They probably think our constitution
differs from that of the United States,
for when the proposition came up to
memorable congress to vote one hundred
thousand dollars to the unfortunate ones
on our border it was adopted at once, re-
ceiving almost unanimous vote.
Shawnee county is very DESTROYS Of
having the Pomeroy suit paid for by the
State, and Mr.. Foster, of that county,
has introduced resolutions to that effect.
The fast-horse men will probably not
be excluded from agricultural fairs in
the future, as the law pushing them out
will undoubtedly be repealed.
