collect 500 of old Kansas territorial
bonds brings out this in the Wathena
Republican: In 1855 the last pro-
slavery legislature issued $4,000 dol
lars in bonds, bearing 10 per cent, to
take up the script issued in default OF
cash with which to pay the running
expenses of the territorial government.
The next legislature in 1860 repudiated
the bonds, and they disappeared and
became lost to the recollection OF the
state authorities. 1t is supposed, from
the nature of the case, that the bonds
were mostly in the hands of proslavery
persons who went south and Joined the
rebels when the war broke out. A few
days ago $4,000 of them turned up in
the hands of some one in New York
who is making an effort to collect
them, and it seems that the legislature
following the one that repudiated them
! (1S61) reinstated their legality. Major
Dreaming of Wathena, has one of the
bonds. It is for 500 and was printed
at the Herald of Freedom Office at
Leavenworth. and would pass today for
good job of printing If not for 500.
The interest upon 1t for As years would
famount to $3.50. and on the entire issue
/ $3.50, 600, making the entire debt $780,
| 600. But it can not be paid unless the
! legislature makes an appropriation for
/ it. S. Medray was governor and H. J.
! Strickler secretary. whose signatures
are on the bond The bonds We're to
run six years and have six coupons at
tached for the payment of interest
yearly Major Dreaming presented the
I bond once to the state treasurer for
redemption, who told him the legisla-
/ ture of 1850 had repudiated the issue
but did not say anything about the re-
instatement by the legislature of 1851"
