The organization of the new senate is
one of the absorbing themes of political
interest, and the death of Senator Car
penter adds to the completely of sit
uation which has been the subject of
such free and varied speculation during
the past few months. A Washington
special TO the Brooklyn Eagle, has the
following TO say in this regard: at is
understood rather positively now that
Mr.. Garfield will not call the extra ses-
sion of the senate until after the Wiscou-
sin legislature shall elect a successor to
Mr.. Carpenter. This will probably
throw the extra session and organization
OF the new senate over until the 10th or
18th of March, and avert the necessity of
adjourning the Wisconsin legisla-
ture for the governor TO appoint
Mr.. Carpenters successor, and avoid the
law Of congress, which would prevent
the election till March 8. This is very

A bill has been introduced in the
Kansas house by the Judiciary commit
tee to repeal the act for the relief of the
destitute on the western frontier. Owing
to the faulty character OF the bill re-
Gently passed by the legislature appro-
priatiug $4,000 for this purpose, the
state treasurer refused to pay out the
money upon the ground that he was not
empowered to disburse public moneys
where the order failed TO state from
which fund they should be drawn.
It now seems that the most important
measure which been before the state
assembly, is to be allowed to go by de-
fault in the rush of business which always
crowds the closing days Of the session.
AS we have repeatedly stated, nothing
has so seriously damaged the reputation
of Kansas abroad as the eternal appeal
for aid outside of the state for the
sufferers in our western counties
and humanitarian considerations aside
the legislature could have in nc
way more cffectually advanced
the material interests of the state, than
by the employment of thorough meas
ures for the suppression of system o
persistent begging which has brough
reproach upon Kansas and checked
the tide of Immigration to her fer
tile and productive sections. w
can see no other way of reach
ing this great evil than 10y prop
er legislation. A commission en-
powered to fully ascertain the needs G
the drought-scourged districts, and a
appropriation furnishing the means
meet the necessities of the case, is the opl
feasible solution to this paramount prol
lem, and if the legislature adjourn
without making some such provision,
will prove recreant TO its most sacre
duty and the highest interests of Il
l people.

 The title is valid and appears to be completely deraigned and to be vested in Janet G. Howard and George Hearst; therefore my recommendation IS that the rancho of San Juan de las Boquillas y Nogoles be confirmed 10 the extent of exactly four square leagues, to and in the names Of Janet C. Howard and George Hearst, with a reservation of the minerals therein to the government, and declare the land open for individuals to dig in search of mines and minerals and to have the benefits of all fornd, under no more expensive conditions than those which prevailed in Mexico at the date of the Gadsden Treaty-Sep- tember 9, 1858.
