An interesting story is told in con-
nection with the new Chartran por-
trait Of Secretary Shaw. Chartran
always charges 5000 for bis pictures,
but Mr.. Shaw beat him down to $500
while the picture was being painted
When It was nearly completed the
artist turned to the secretary and
asked him who was to pay the $4,000,
be or the government. The secretary
said that the government was. Quick
as q fash Chartran said Il was worth
$1,000 and swept his brush across one
Of the eyes OF the portrait. Mr.. Shaw
looked at It aghast. He was wlnking ct
himself from the CANVASS, bat he had
to pay the $1,000.

Once more we take up our pen
to descant upon this worn out
topic; this never failing resort OF
idealess editors. Kansas is ad.
mitted under the LecOmptOn Con-
stitution with an amendment
which provides that it be submit
ted to the people Of Kansas imme-
diately, to be ratified, when as a
matter OF course, the slavery
clause will be repudiated. This
lie a virtual rejection of the cOnsti.
tuition, and it remains to be seen
what the ire-eaters will do next.
Our neighbOrs at Houston, we
learn, have suspended operations
for a few days, and no serious APP
prehensiOns are entertained OF the
Union bursting up before a week
or two at least. Governor Moore,
OF Alabama, will probably call
the convention which the last leg
islature recommended, and a few
more pages will be written in the
history Of Southern bravadO. If
it is really the wish Of the MAORI
ty Of SOutherners to secede from
the union, why don't they act
more decisively-why do they
pOW-wOW and make such an eter-
nal fuss about itf We don't care
q red about Kansas, either one
way or the Other-never expect
ed she would be a slave state,
and are not disappointed. Dema-
gOgues have kept the country con-
stantly agitated with shrieks for
bleeding Kansas, and for one, we
are tired Of it; so we suppose are
our readers.

Great indignation is manifested
throughout the state at the use of
the pardOning power, as made by
Governor Melville in liberating a
felon named Dyson, 1t is nothing
more than could be expected; be-.
cause a murderous assassin can,
through the influence OF wealth,
get a number of men to sign a pc
titiOn for his release, our wise
Governor concludes the majority
ought to rule, and sets him at lib
erty. A petition was also circu.
lated in Pamela county (where
Dyson lived at the time he way
laid and assassinated his victim,)
praying the Governor not to re-
lease him; but the majority ruled.
Dyson has murdered four or five
men, and hanging was the fate he
deserved.
