Road Regul lions.

If it il true that the condition of the
Puollc roads OF any country may be ia.
ken III fair index to the civilization Of
that country, we are in sorry plight.
There is not decent road in the County !:
and Tor the last month county travel.
where it has not been altogether inter.
rupted, has been an inconvenience to the
public and downright cruelty to mules
and horses. The prcaent system of road
working has kept our public highways
in just good enough condition to Be sat-
isfactory to nobody in creation; and to
devise better Bystem seems to require a
higher order of wisdom than the average
legislator has displayed. The subject of
road working is at once troubled aud un.
popular; aIi;; !; MAY &c that tho pres
ent syyateIn is the beat inr which tie nsn-
pie are prepared. At all eyents, until
come one distinguishes himself by de.
7ising wise road laws, we should demand
better ell Forcement Of the law already
existing.
In the campaign that led to our pri-
mary election last summer, certain can
didates succeeded in persuadipg the peo.
pie, that the duty Of the GDnnty Com.
missluhers is merely 10 appoint superin-
tcndents of highways; and that when
they have done this, they are free from
all further responsibility, 80 far as the
roads are concerned. This was a now
and strange doctrine to very many good
people who had been accustomed to look
upon the County Commissioners as road
commissioners, and nothing but road
commissioners; but it went uncontra.
dicted, and was accordingly accepted as
true: The people were not able to sec
the justice Of requiring the superintend-
ents to assume all the responsibility and
do all the work, while the County Com
missioners receive the pay, but they we're
used TO laws whose justice they could
not understand, so they believed and
submitted.
1t is not intended here to lecture the
County Commissioners on the subject of
their duty, for this they are presumed to
know but it is just that the people
should know what they have right to
expect from their public servants.
While the law authorizes the County
Commissioners to appoint superinten-
dents IF highways, who, in their turn,
arc authorized to appoint road overseers,
it expressly provides that "The County
Commissioners shall take charge OF and
superintend the repair of the highways
in the County," and that "The Superin.
dent shall have general supervision of
the highways and roads in his district,
under the direction of the County Com.
missioners." This law, which is too
plain to be misunderstood, places the re-.
sponsibility where it properly belongs,
upon the County Commissioners nnd
the responsibility cannot be shifted to
the superintendent. Overseers and
uperintendents have their duties,
and they should be held to q faithful
discharge of those duties-always under
the direction Of the County Commission.
, ers.
1t may be true that bad weather
makes bad roads, but it must be admitted
that little more time and little more
attention devoted to our roads in the
summer would make them tolerable il
not satisfactory in the winter season.

THE PECK LANDS.

Our Moran correspondent intimates
that the Crawford Brief has created
some uneasiness regarding the title to
the Peck Lands. We have not read
the Brief carefully enough to know
exactly what it says about the matter,
hnt We think there is no cause for any
qneasipess whatever on the part of the
holders Of these lands. The facts in
regard 70 them are simply these.
BY the act Of admission, Congress
granted to the state of Kansas 5O0,-
600 acres of land for internal improve
ments. BY act Of the legislature in
1856 this land was di:ided among four
railroads, the l.. l.. d G. receiving
I25,000 acres of it. This tact of 49,
900 acres, is what is known as the Peck
lands, Come years ago, question
2soss as to the validity Of the act do
rating this internal improvement
land to the railroads, and the Attor-
pey General was instructed by the
legislature ia inquire into tie matter
He did SO, aad reported that there APP
Reared to be 40 reason to call in Ques- ,
tiOB The Legality Of the act. That set

THE CRAWFORD BRIEF.

We commence the publication Of the
official history of the land question, 10y
s. J. Crawford, attorney for the State
of Kansas, appointed by our Legisla-
tare 70 investigate this matter, and
we think there Is as much difference
between the official history and that
of the REGISTER, as there is between
a giant and pygmy. We publish 1t
for the benefit of our readers. 1t is the
most important document, that has
ever been published upon the question.
Inter State.
1t took the brilliant and clear headed
editor of the Inter State about three
weeks to learn that the brief referred to
in the above nod st way had moth
ing whatever to do with the land
question i'm Allen county. Some kind
friend has finally informed him how
ever, that such is the case, and he has
discontinued the publication of this
"most Important document that has
ever been prblish'd upon the ques-
ton" Asa matter Of fact this brief
discusses only the land grants to the
A. T. & s. y. i. r. lying in the north
ern and western portions of the state,
and only refers incidentally to the AL
len county lands, and then without ex-
pressing any opinion.

TIE INJUNCTION SUITS.

In the injunction suit of Hopkins VS..
Snyder, tried before Judge Talcott at
Chambers last week, the decision was
in effect a eopapromise Of the demands
made by the two parties. Mr.. Snyder
is permitted TO harvest the crop-in-
Guiding the prairie grassland to pillow
the ground already in cultivation but
is not allowed to break new land, T..
build houses or fences Of any kind, OIL
10 pasture stock of any kind on the
,and ia question. The case of Hop
kins VS.. Torrance was argued Tuesday
and the same order was given There
are four similar eases yet to. be tried
which are set for Sebtei3ber 9TH. We
understand that the counsel for de-
Tense will carry all these cases up t.
the Supreme Court, and endeavor u
get such a decision as will deny
plaintiffs any ownership whatever in
the lapd. We are not a prophet nor
the SOFA of prophet but we venture
the guess that they have got as much
consolation Dyw IL they will ever get.
