Not in the least dismayed by the
verdict of the people at the polls, Col.
S. n. Wood concluded he would so to
Congress anyhow, aud to that end
served an injunction on the state board
of canvassers forbidding them to count
the vote cast for Judge Peters as Con-
gresham at large. There is an article
i'm the State constitution which pro-
vides that judge shall not be eligible
to any other office during the time for
which he was elected judge. This
clause, if strictly construed, would
render Mr.. Peters ineligible, as he is at
this time a district judge, and Col.
Wood claims that as he received the
next highest number of votes, he
should be given the seat to which the
people thought they were electing
Peters. The case was called before
Judge Morton; of Topeka last Mon
day. and he decided that the injunc-
ton could not hold that the canvass
ing board could not be prevented from
doing its plain constitutional duty,
and that the proper place for Col.
Wood to present his case was before the
natiopal house of representatives., as it
is a matter for that body to settle.
This decision will doubtless end tn,
matter, for the only ground upon
which Mr.. Wood could base any hopes
Whatever, was on strict construction
OF the State constitution. Having
failed in obtaining this lie will hardly
carry bis case before body that does
not recognize State constitutions in
deciding contested elections. That he
should have contested the case at all
is only another instance of bis unex-
ampled and brazen audaeity. No
other man ia Kansas we venture TO
say, would have dreamed of trying to
take advantage of 4 mere technically,
TO gain an office for which another man
had received several thousand more
votes than himself. 1t is certainly
rather an anomalous position. for a
professed champion ofthe people, to be
found attempting TO defeat the en-
phaticalIy expressed viii of the people.

INSTEAD of advocating reduction OF

INSTEAD of advocating reduction of
letter postage to two cents, Postmaster
General Howe, will probably recon-
mend in his coming report, that
stamped envelopes be sold at the price
now charged for the stamps alone.
This would virtually amount to about
the same thing, he thinks, so far as
the people who pay postage are con-
cerned, while the resulting deficiency
in the revenue would be several MILL
ions of dollars less than would follow
from reduction of the price of stamps.

Fret not because the promise of the buds
The fruit doth not fulfil:
Was not the hope and fragrance which they
brought
To us blessing still?
Nor count as lost the seed we SOW in faith
Upon a barren land
And reap not. Doth not God the purpose
know,
And the sewers hand
Spurn not the vow the eager spirit makes
That weak flesh cannot keep;
The ocean bubbles break, but underneath
here flows 2 current deep.
The buds that blossom not, the withered seed,
The vows we leave undone,
Are gems we drop yet angels mark their fall,
And raise them to the crown.

We call attention to the advertisement in
another column of Mr. i. b. Whitman
The tendency Of the manufacturing busi-
ness for years has been toward making but
one line Of goods in factory, as workmen
become very skillfll and can turn out better
goods and more of them when kept at work
upon one thing year in and year out. The
success Of this policy may be surmised from
the immense factories and enormous sales Of
the various concerns engaged in the manu-
facture Of reapers and mowers, grain drills,
&c, &c. Mr. Whitman represents three
separate factories; one manufacturing
plows and plow castings, another the Cham
picn Grain Drills, and another, masking the
celebrated British Mixture. He is not in
the general agricultural business, but for
plows, grain drills, and fertilizers, claims to
be able to compete with an ether manuiac-
turcr in the land.
