HIsroRY.

Dr.. G.. Washington Brown, of Illinois, {
IN carly days a resident Of Lawrence,
and editor and publisher of paper i
called the Herald Of Freedom which
obtained a good deal of celebrity ii that
time, is engaged in writing what he
cailsa "Reminiscences fold John Brown
which are published in broken doses"
in the Lawrence journal. He seems
rather unfortunate ia some of his data,
50 far, as the Atcllison Champion, Law
renee Tribune, Frank Swim, printer
who has resided in Lawrence from the
first, B. W. Woodward, "a merchant well
and favorably known the state over, and
others, have denied several of his state
menis and proven them untrue. If
this IS TO become general with what DR..
Brown calls his facts, we suggest
that he feiire from the historical business
and devoie himself IL the innocent
amusement OF writing up his own wen
derfui achievements, task for which
he seems pre-cminenfly qualified. 1t
I will lie remembered that Dir. Brown
/ gained a wide sympathy and support in
the north in 1856 for his defense of the
| principles which the Kansas people and
the Republicans everywhere believed
in. He had way of getting his own
grievances and sacrifices, whatever
the latter may have amounted TO the first
few months Of the publication of the
Herald IN Kansas, before the public, and
OF turning them to the best account. Il
will be remembered, also, by those con
/, vcrssnt with his course, that he after
wards changed 'front.' and did all III
could against the Radicals, as the Repub
licans were then called. When Cover
nor Walker came to Lawrence with hi
: troops Brown was openly and almos
/. everywhere accused OF trucking to Tia
. Democratic power. His change polite
aliy was so great as to loose him nearl
all his old friends, and the circulation Z
S his paper sank from 5000 early in 1S5
$ 10 nearly as many hundred in yea
r from that time. The Radical leader
&c turned from him and ridlcule and abus

The question Of State Rights and the
supremacy of the general government,
which has so often been settled and yet
VIII not down, again will come before
the supreme court Of the United States
in the Georgia railroad case. The road
issued some two and a quarter millions
of scrip, circulated rs money, upon
which the commissioner of internal
revenue assessed the 10 per cent. tax i'm
posed by act Of congress upon state bank
currency. The question which the case
raises IS whether state laws, under which
the scrip was issued, cam operate TO OK
empi 1t from taxation by the general
government.

On Thursday last, in New York, the
NJ, X. s. It. railroad stock was quoted at
81 per cent This was a higher price
than this stock has ever reached be-
fore, and it was probably brought up to
that figure by the recent wave of stock
speculation fever which struck that city.
1t has generally been supposed to be al
most worthless, and the 100000 of
bonds voted to the road by this county
have been set down as donation to the
road Ii is our opinion that if thisst
is Is remain any length of time at that
figare it would be to the advantage OF
the people to haye it sold. With $76-
coo undoubtedly $1O0,00O in bonds could
be purchased, thus decreasing our debt
to $4,000. But we should not be in
favor of dlsposIng of this stock ut any
price without first having a voTe Of the
people authorizing IT, Our experience
as a county in the sale of the other stock
leads us to take this position. While we
still believe we did good thing with the
