In the history of Kansas politics,
only one Governor has found his way
into the United States Senate. Il is
different in other States.
A Michigan man writes to the Paolo
Spirit that Kansas lotteries are now
doing the State more damage east than
did the grasshoppers.
The lead mines recently discovered
in this State, six miles east of Baxter
Springs, give additional evidence
every day of being the richest ever
found in the United States.
The Cowley County Telegram says
the Corbln Banking company, of New
York, have informed their agents at
Winfield, that they will no longer loan
money in Kansas on account of the act
of last winter in regard to attorneys
fees in cases of foreclosure.
The Coffeyville Courier says that the
new agent of the Osages made speech
to the Indians the other day, telling
them he came down 70 make them
quit stealing and running in debt.

The KANSAS state debt.

The first bonded indebtedness of
the State was contracted in 1861,
and twas for $l50O00,. payable in
fifteen years.. They Ibeeomeadue on
the first of July next and wiz be
paid. In fact, all but about $500 D,
js already the property of the State,
and ali that Twill be done to pay
them will be to transfer from one
fund to another. Between Sal, 900
and $4,000 is with the Secretary of
the Interior, belonging to some
tribe of Indians. They were sold
to that Department in 1861, by r. S.
Stevens, who was the agent of the
State under Governor Robinson
and Secretary Of State Robinson.
The payment of these bonds will
reduce the total indebtedness of the
State Except few bonds issued for
military purposes,) to $S50,0O0.
In fact, we believe that it is held by
some that $4,000 of State bonds
should be counted as military, in
which case, we will be$240OOO below
million of dollras that the State
can become indebted under the
Constitution.--Com.
