We are assured "by one who knows"
that Conway wrote Lanes appeal to the
public, published in last weeks Repubi-
can. It was a rich document. Lane
"never received anything from the Free
State party in the way of remuneration"
What did be do with the $1,000 voted
him in scrip by the Topeka Legislature,
as remuneration for services as chairman
of the Executive Committee, charged
with the work of setting the Topeka Con-
stitution and government in motion p
We kz,ot0 the scrip t0as received by him, and
we understand that some five or six hum
dred dollars in cash, or drafts, were given
him on account of the same, he agreeing
to deposit scrip in its place; but this he
never did, for the reason alleged by him,
that he had sent his scrip East to be cash.
ed, but that he had not received the cash
on it, but would get it and deposit it with
the treasurer of the committee. We
know, too, that he had scheme by which
he proposed to get his scrip cashed by
members of Con yress, and we presume he
made it available. At any rate, we do
not believe he can show dollar of the
scrip issued to him at this time.


Since Conway, over the name Of Lane
has written a defense of the latter gen.

Is it true, as we have heard it asserted


during the last few days, that James Il.
Lane invited prominent citizen of this
county to his office recently, turned the
key upon him and put it in his pocket,
and then trumped up some charges against
him which Lane and everybody else
knows were false, drew revolver upon
him, and threatened to blow his brains
out; that when the gentleman found
himself thus circumstanced he caught q
hickory cane which he discovered in the
room, and with it soon brought Lane tc
terms ? If the story is true the public
should known it, and know all about it
and the wretch who would resort to such
vile means to defeat political opponent
or one he feared might become such
should be held up to public scorn. We
are glad to know that the assailed party
was a person of nerve, and knew how tc
settle matters with the mock hero OF I

But il is not only unsafe in this, but in other
respects. There is no provision in this law by
which the sub. b.treasurers are required to give
bonds TO the State for the proper performance
of the duties required of them by what is called
the Sub Treasury act They give bonds to the
County Commissioners, and those bonds are in
the custody of the County Commissioners, ex
amined by no State authority. In this it is
entirely unlike the general Treasury system Of
the United States, and to this extent it is uR-
safe 1t is question among gentlemen learned
in the law, whether these bonds, in many in


stances, are good; whether they obligate the
Treasurer in respect to the particular duties re-
quired by this act II they are not good they
have given no bonds, and there is no security
at all say in both these particulars this sys'
tenn is not only unsafe, but is entirely unlike
the thing after which it has been named.

ADULTERATIoN OF LIQUogs.-A case recent
ly tried in the Court OF Common Pleas, at
Lancaster, Pa, WAS decided upon prncipl
which, if followed up, would prevent the

case were extensive liquor dealers and sued
the defendant, tavern keeper, for the recoye-

whiskey." The defense was that the liquor
did not correspond with the sample by which
il was sold and that it contained corrosive or
poisonous substances. This latter point was
established by chemical test TO which the liz

court and jury. The verdict of the jury was

WHAT SPAIN THINKS OF THE CUBA QUESTION By the last European steamer we have the following report of the manner in which the Cuba stealing project is regarded by the Government of Spain

 In the Chamber of Deputies, a call having been made for the production of the papers relative to the negotiations between the United States France and England, for the acquisition of Cuba by Amer ica, the Minister of Foreign Affairs replied that some Deputies had expressed the desire to see the administration of Cuba improved, and the Presi- dent of the United States expressed the same wish

 The opinion of the President was that Spain did not administer Cuba we'll, and that the United States, on account of their higher intelligence, had mor- al duty to fulfill which was to purchase the island The Government could not allow this idea about Cuba to remain uncontradicted. All Governments had labored to improve the condition of that island

 and the present Cabinet had been constantly occu- pied with measures calculated to give the inhabi- tants of the island the share they ought to in their internal administration, without comprom- ising the ties which unite them to the mother coun try. The best reply to the representations of cer-

 tain orators of the United States was the prosper- iy of the island of Cuba. That the question of the acquisition of the island was imposing and mena- cling could not be denied Nevertheless, the Gov ernment declared that it felt all the security which it's great national resources calculated to in spire. It had not however, rendered insult for n- question. It had conducted itself with prudence and dignity, and had not applied for assistance to any other power If any foreign power had offered assistance the Government would have felt grate. ful but it would not have accepted of it., because it did not think any aid was necessary. As no di- plomatic documents existed Oil the question-which happily was almost terminated-the Government hoped M Badia would be satisfied with the expla- nation given, and withdraw the motion.
