News from Kansas at Washington. hTho Washington correspondent of the "St. Louis Republican," who speaks as if he held tho Administration by the button says of the Kansas election. "Quite a rejoicing came off at the White Houso on the day the news reached u and toast, the song, and the wine, were the ordr of the evening. You know that our excellent Chief Migiitrate, "once on a time," was fond of a glass of good brandy and water, as many other gentlemen arc. I don't say that he indulges now-a-days, but I do know that he frequently visits the bights of Georgetown for Ait health, and the day succeeding ths festivities incident upon the result of the Kansas election, it become necessary for him to pay another yisit."

With ila assistance a person can do a washing io an hour or two, which according to the old mode, cannot bo performed in one day. 2d. The person who washes is not exposed to the steam which arises from the common wash tub, and which is the cause uf so much ill health among our female population ; the steam arising frem the heated water in this tub being confined within the machinery. 3d. The clothes are not injured in the least by being washed in this tub, and the finest at tides can be cleansed without the least damage. 4th. Tho clothes can be washed as clean in this tub, as by the hands in the open tub, or by any other proces Now we don't intend to believe there is any such a tub, nor tell any body where it can be bad, unless the makers thereof send us a specimen. It can be sent by express to the White Water Canal. Cincinnati, thence by Canal to Orookville.

"pLKDUtB BUT TO TSCTU, TO tlTT AMD UW, no rsvo swats c, am no rasa sasti aw." T. A. GOODWIN, Editor. BB00XTTXLE, DTDIASA. t ill DAY. A PHIL 8T 1833. Gor. Heeder and Commissioner Many penny. Oar readers may remember that some months ago, U. S. Commission er Manypenny, in an official report, charged Gov. Reeder, of Kansas, with conduct unworthy of his office, in purchasing large quantities of lands from Indians and half brtC(. i for a merely nominalsum. Gov. Heeder has replied ia a very aharp and didactic letter in which he asserts that his purchase was made mainly from French settlers that there were but two half-breeds connected with the'sale; that the prices paid was all that was nsred, and had been fixed after mature deliberation aad reflection. Gov. Ft. says: These prices are four and fivofold the amount which in your treaty with the Shawnces, you had just before agreed to pay for better land; and I havo yet to learn that code of morality which considers tho Indian fairly paid for choice lands at sixty cents an acre, by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and is shocked at the injury inflicted on a white man with a half-breed wife, when an individual j ays him three dollars." He concludes his letter with the following pithy sentences. "Your report on these contracts makes, as I have shown, fierce charges of fraud. If true, I am a dishonest man; if false, you are a slanderer. One of us, then disgrases the office he holds, and it is tiins to know which is the man. In viewof this, I propose to you, sir, a compact, that, it you shall before the first day of October next, make good theso charges, to the satisfaction of the President, he shall at once remove me from office; and if you fail, the same penalty shall bo meted out to I you." Dishonesty. We were astonished a few days ago in the reading the circular of a certain "Attorney at Law and Land Agent" at the undisguised manner in which he advises his clients to dishonesty. In order to induce as many as possible to employ him to enter land, he advises persons in "prosperous business," to "lay land warrants on Iowa lands, in tho names of their wives and children, that it may be a quiet retreat from the persecutions of enemies and treachery of false friends." When it is remembered that those who are doing a "prosperous busi ness," of whom there is danger of bankruptcy, are persons deeply in debt, and not unfrequently to poor widows and laboring men, this is certainly tho coolest advico to defraud poor creditors that we have ever seen.

Smith, of Laurel, a very high-minded, honorable man (over the left) had been taking tho American out of the office, that had been sent to one L. D. Clark, an irresponsible young man, until we noticed his brutal conduct in the church,' somo time ago, since which time he won't take it ont any more. Now when it is understood that this Mr. Smith is a Pay-Nothing wholly Insolvent won't pay even for the rich furniture he has in his house, this is the most unwarrantable piece of spitework we have known for a long while We are compelled to stop tho papers, and Mr. Smith will have to go "down town" after this and borrsw of somo honest man. Who is it T A young minister writes to the editor of the Presbyterian Herald in relation to a very novel position in which ho has been placed. The young minister is a bachelor, and has been settled over his charge about h year. A short time ago his congregation, without consulting him at all, voted to erect him a partonugt. The young clergyman does not know what thi means whether it is a hint for him to leave and maku room for a married pastor, whether they want to force him to Veep bachelor's hall, or do something else which he leaves the editor to guess. The editor of tho Herald, not feeling himself competent to guess, refers him to the ladies, who are generally able to find a solution for such cases and provide a remedy. IIcmanb.

That law must and will be, enforced. There is no power on earth or under the earth that can prevent it, and the powers abovo won't tiy. Moreover, that law will never bo repealed, until the ten commandments are. Its de. tails may be modified, but its prohibitory features are as fixed as the everlasting hills. Run Orr. A fellow by the name of Edward Carpenter, late of the Bull Fork of Salt Creek, and said to have been a leading spirit in tho celebrated Sanes Creek, indignation meeting, and foremost in pledging his "life, fortune snd sacred honor" to defeat and resist the new prohibitory law, left his wife and children last week, and sloped to parts unknown with his wife's sister, a buxom young widow. It is supposed that he misunderstood that hifolulin resolution and took it to mean wife, fortuno and sacred honor, all of which he has duly left to redeem his pledge.

Rather than miss we will advise some of the members of the Church, and a few modest young ladies to go, especially at night. Times are hard, and "quarters" are scarce, but there are several here who wonld rather do without new bonnets than to fail -having one cosy sit with Nancy and her tribe.

Dogs vs Sheep. A most exciting trial came off last

Friday, at Everton, on the relative rights of dogs and sheep. The shop in which the Court sat, was so crowded that, we couli not get our modest self within, but we learned that some man had had some sheep killed, and some other man had some dogs that were strongly suspected of having killed them. As usual, there was a display of legal lore, and eloquence, and the case received a patient hearing by the jury. The junior Trusler of Connersville appeared in behalf ot the dogs. We did not hear his speech, bi t it was said to be an able defense of the canine race of their rights and privileges under our free institutions. He holds this truth to be selfevident that all dogs are born free and equal, and that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, such as life, liberty and the pursuant ofBnt we can not ieport him in full. J. H.Ray Esq., of Everton appeared in behalf of th sheep. His speech was logical, eloquent and conclusive. He had law and common sense on bis s'de, and enough evidence ba rely enough, to fix he probability of the sheepicido on the. dogs of a certain man .who was mulct into the cost of the suit, and damages to tho amount of 95 We respect that jury. They deci ded as the law and testimony ought to have been at all events. On tho ques tion "which is the most useful animal, the sheep or the dog ? " we take the sheep side, and we maintain that in case of loss from dogs, a very summa ry process should be adopted to pay the owner of the sheep. We are sor ry our faithful "Q" was not there to report the case more fully. From lb Nw Vojk Trlban. Scenetdi the Kansas Election. The character of the recent irruption into Kansas by the slave driving hordes of Missouri, become more and more transparently infamous as each new development of its details comes to view. We comnilo from various sources still further illustrations of the beauties of squatter sovereignty. and of tho soundness of the opinions of Mr. Everett, Senator Badger, and other distinguished persons, that Kansas had no chance of being a Slave State. The testimony which these scenes bear to the character of that Northern treachery practiced by Pierce, Douglas, Toucey 6s Co., in the passage of the Nebraska bill, is so conclusive and damning as to require no word of comment. We extract from the Herald of Freedom'. Tnt Votinq at Lawrxkcx . In this District, where the late census report indicates but 3o9 voters, tho election shows there were 1,039 votes polled, nearly three times as great a number as legitimately belonged here; and yet a large number of our actual rest dents, and particularly those from a distance, did not exercise their right to the elective franchise, as they found they could not do so without endancr erinir their lives. The Free-State strength in this District is full five to one, and yet the Pro-Slavery ticket na a majority ot more man turee to one. Mr. Edwin Bond, who went to vote in the morning was forcibly ejected from the grourd, and pursued by an angry crowd to the bank of the river with curses and threatenings of destructions, and compelled to jump down the declivity, when a revolver was discharged at bim, and a ball narrowly escaped his head. He ran along the beach, and finally escaped unscaiuea. Yotxrs Arm xo. We repaired to the polls about 10 o'clock in the morning, but retired, on the assurance of numerous friends that we were in great person! danger, thinking it best to defer our rights as an elector to a latter period in the day, when it was nopea better order would prevail. At about 4 o'clock we acriin visited the polls, and discharged our duties as a freeman withont molestation. It was the first time wo ever appeared at the ballot-box with an instrument of defense, and we trust it will be the last time it will be deemed necessary to be guarded with a retinue offrieuds. each provided with bowie-knives and revolvers, besides having several of tne latter instruments about our own person ready (or immediato use. Tux Votinq at Teccmsxii. After it was satisfactorily ascertained that the number of persons imported into Lawrence, from Missouri, was greater . S . A9 man tne occasion demanded, a company of 200 was deta:hed from the main body, and took up their line of march for fecumseh, with the view of overbalancing thelnrL'e number of free vo ters in that District, a majority of whom are located at Topeka. They arrived at their destination in time to participate in the fraud there practiced npou tho ballot-box. When thay had accomplished the object of their miasson they returned in a body to their en campraent near Lawrence, where they remained till Saturday morning, when they took their final departure for Missouri. Mr. Burgess, one of the Judges appointed by the Governor, was violently threatened; a pistol waa three times snapped in his fare, a club flourished over his head, till finally he was compelled to proclaim tho election ad journed. The mob then selected a new Board, with two drunken Secretaries, who took possession of the ballot-box, and allowed oo person to approach it unless he was right on the "Goose Question" a slang phraso used among the Missourians, implying they are in f-ivor of extending the institution of Slavery over Kansas. No questions were asked the voter as to his citizenship orplaco ofresiidettcc; no oath was administered, or other test required, save an assurance of support to the Pro-Slavery ticket. An aged gentleman, who felt disposed to exercise the privileges conferred upon him by the laws and Constitution approached tho ballot-box, when he was offered a Pro-Slavery vote. He remarked that he did not vote that ticket, when some one knocked off his hat, another cuffed him, while a third applied the boot, and forced him frvm the ground, and threatened to put a bullet through him unless he left sstanter.

The friends of Freedom, finding

themselves borno down by the invaders, quietly - retired from the polls; and we are assured no rree-btates votes, other than three or four, were cast in that District, though that party was largely in the majority, while the Pro-Slavery marauders from Missouri polled between four and. five hundred. The late census returns' showed that, thus far, every Election Dittrict in ths Territory was settled by a large majority of voters from the Free-State and that, if left to the ordinary course of things, the Legislative Assembly of the lemtory would be a unit upon the subject of human rights. PROCKXOIKOS AT LkAVEN WORTH' A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune sends us the following under the date of March, 30: It is now 6 o'clock in the morning of the election. . For this whole night the country round has been vocal with carousings of the immigrants sent here bv the Pro Slaverv "Immigrant Aid Society;" and the baying of .ur dogs answering to their howling. Isot the camp of tho arch fiend, when he made war upon Heaven, could present a a more horrid picture cf depravity than has been exhibited in the woods within a short distance, during the last two days. Last night seventy-five were encamped atone place within half a mile, one hundred at another, within 2 miles; three hundred at nnoth er, within 7 miles; three hundred Ht another, within 2 miles, and a band of fifty within 1 of a mile. Besides these gangs, there are now some five or COO encamped on the east side of the river, who ill bo over, aa soon as the boats can carry them, with barrels ol wbiskv accompanying. There aro also about one hundred persons in a house owned by Dr. Mills, of the U. S. A., about onn mile west of this town, all of whom came from one countr about one hundred miles from this place. P. S March 31. The true vote of this place would be about 250 Free to 175 Slave. As declared, it was ZOO to CO (he rest of our voters having m a - m been inchtenea oronven away irom the polls. XLXCTION CARRIED Wim CANSO.H. St. Lolis, Apiil 10, 1855. The Kansas election has resulted in favor of Slavery. The voteis were citizens of Missouri. They marched with cannon from West Port, in Mis souri, to the town ofLawience. These man were loaded with amall arms, they took violent possession of the polls, which they held in military array, until they.ielt assured that their .4. a a A A ticket would succeed and then they returned to Missouri. The election was held on Friday, the 30ih March Thursday, at noon, the day before, an armed calvaride which claimed to be 500 strong preceded by two cannon mounted, and by a wagon loaded with whisky this 'whole military . array, armed with deadly weapons nnu led by - n l V 1. . It! . a vol. xoung, ten vveeiport, in souri. for the avowed purpose of con trollincr the elections in Kansas. They had about forty miles to travel to reach Lawrence, but the roads were dry, and they proceed to Wauknrusif ' ! e UrcCK, seven mwes irom Lawrence, before they camped. About 900 went to Lawrcrc. and marched up to the polls, armed, and took possession of the ground. They kwore they were citizens of the Territory, and that it was bona fids their intention to remain there. This oath each Missourian took before he voted, and then they all started back to their homes in Missouri that same evening. Tho le gal voters seeiag that the election was wholly managed uy lortign interlopers, did not many of them vote at all. There are very few slr.ves or slave holders in the Territory. The owners dare no, yet take slaves. Thir news papers, and the slavery men, talk much of the thousands who nre crowd ing into the Territory; but this is all false. They have only been thero long enough to vöte, and there is no danger .v .1 - ..I.. -i . 01 Uieir going lucre io iaao meir om c. The conduct of these Missourians greatly retards tho settlement of the Territory, but it does not advance the slave iuterest in the least, On the other hand, it is opening tho eyes of thousands to the true character of Slavery, which but for some such manifestation, would remain closed forever. The Kansas Pioneer has the follow ing encouragement for the slavc-driv ers: "Persons need not feel alarmed in hrincrlnfT their slaves to Kansas. Thi will be a Slave State, as certain as two and two make four. We would, there fore, say to our friends at a distance who have ben making inquiries in regard to the safety ol brinirinir slaves here, to brine them alonir, and emi grate at once. The result of tho elec tion on last Fridav outrht to satisfy every , body that this will be a Slave State. There are a nuraoer oi siavcs already in the Territy and iho cry is "still they come" by every steamboat or natboat arrival. Kan fa will remain as she now is, Pro Slavery lo the core; so our slavehnhlincr friends needn't bj at all un easy, but all who are disposed to emi grate, let them come aiong ai once, and bring their siavcs wiih them, and make no further inquiries about Kansas being n Slave State. It will never be anything else I and wo shall, con sider oursei t responsible lor wnai we assert" Mm. EniToR. Under our new con stitution any person possessing a good moral character estimated, according to Cruiksbank's standard of morals, (query) can obtain alicenso to practice in the Courts of this county. Now would some kind friend who understands law be so accommodating as to give us a little insight as regards the makin king of contracts. Althougli not elf a constitutional lawyer. I wo'd my d esire some information about the sub ject, ni I am of the opinion that a contract onco made and tuny concurred in by both parties is binding, and a contract is a contract, und notwithstanding one of the parties loso by the same, hois bound by that contract to fulfil the conditions and agreements which constitvte and are embraced in that agreement. The reason of my soliciting informa tion, arises from repeated conversa tions which I have heard inquiring whether or no Mr. May, tho architect, would lose bv his contract with the county, and if that should be the case, . am a At Am wbetl er the lioara oi commissioners vould make ud his loss to him, and if such should happen to be his luck, they ought not to let mm lose any tning in erecting such a nice, small-pox-look

ing Court House. "Ohl consistency.

thou art a jewel." Would Mr. May, refund to this county any of the amount that he expected to make on the contract f.ir erecting our Court House, which he surely, would have done, had things becnproperly mana ged ? With my knowledge of human nature (throwing the diplomacy of Dan Jones aside) I rather think t not, and the people of this county will bear me out in this opinion. But there are, to my certain knowledge, influences broughtto bear upon our ceunty. Commissioncr, endeavoring to gull them into the belief that it wouht be but just and prope. to make nf Iiis loss, should any happen to occcur. But let them take heed an '. be guar ded in the nllowanccs'thut iwemadc to tho erection of this building as the people havo a watchful eye directed to their actions. I luve already expos cd some of their doings and acts, find should their future proceedings di vulge any matters that the tax payers of this county do not concui in, they must and will receive the mndemna tion of all honest and law, abiding cit izens. In n futuro atticle I will en deavor to enlighten the public in re gard to tho entire cost of our Court IIoue, including ''witVjtff' erpeneen" in which will be shown in its proper light the bounties of having n suck at the Treasury rap. " , TAX PAYER. COURT MATTERST Halesworth Berry, vs. Henry W. Gilten. Suit brought by the assignee against the assignor, of piomissory note, alledging that the makers were, at tho time the note become due, and even sinco have been wholly insolvent Nothing . very remarkable in this case, except the amount of motions, demurs, and bills of exception made and taken by the defendant's attorney, showing a determination on the part of the defendant not to pay the note. But the ruling and decisions of the court were in accordance with Judge Reed's accurate way of doing up things, and I guess the Dr. will have to come down, pay over, and thereby deal justly. I noticed one thing in the case, dear people, that msy not be amiss in you to take notice. There is a great amount of dilligcnce and promptness required of the holder o an assigned note in proceeding against the maker, in order to save his re course upon his assignor. Joel Vanmctcr, vs. John Bright. Plaintiff sued defendant on note, work and labor, goods, wares and merchandise, and dear knows what all. The result of the case in this court, is against the plaintiff to the tune of e?i.ca. Thero was something very remarkable in the defendant's defence. He plead a not of between two and three hundred dollars . The plaintiff said none st factum not my fcignature. The note was however not offered in evidence, which created great wonderment what could be the reason. Q can't tell aud if he .could he's most to sharp to tell it out loud. The plaintiff appeals to the Supreme Court. McCarty, Tyner and Holland, assignees, vs. John Roberts. Suit by the assignees of R. Tyner, to recover of John Roberts, R. Tyno '- interest in tho mill property, but us the case involved tho question of ti 1j of real estate, it was dismissed fs r want of jurisdiction Greensburgh and Brookvillc Turnj ike Company, vs. W. M.McCarty and John I). Adair. Suit brought to recover subscription of stock to said company. The defendants denied the existence of the corporation and put in somo seven or eight pleas. The court held that there was no binding contract. That flie defendants subscribed to said company before the organization was completed. That the charter required a certain per cent to be paid at the time of sub scribing, or before the organization under said charter was completed. That no money was paid, or other acts of defendant's nfttrwards to rallify said subscription of stock, but that said defendant positively refused to acknowledge any obligation to pay, Ac. That it was oplionary with the company, when completely organized, to ackuowled 'O the defendants stockholders or not, nnd consequently optlonary with the defendants, whether to accept or not. That thero was a wjint of mutuality nnd therefore the contract not binding. The other point in the caso wns that the jliiintiff failed to prove a demand. Judgement for defendant for costs. I understand that the casj will be taken up. The final result of the case must be interesting to a few individuals, who, in case of the stock holders nre not liable, will have to dance up to a debt of somo two thou sand dollars.
