tT The Company or owners of the steabiefi which comprise tbe "Mail Line" between Louisville and Cincinnati, bare for soma lime been charging an exorbitant price for carrying passengers from Tevay and ether way places. too 0riee demanded for passage from -Vrray to Cincinnati, u $2, 00y while only: $2,50 b obarged from Louisville to Cincinnati. AH must admit that tne price charged from- here b both unequal and unjust. If they can afford to catty passengers 160 .miles for $2,50, tbijr ought to carry them 75 miles for $1,25, pr $1,60 at tbe outside. We have not a word to var against any til the ofilcen of these boats; ta our intercourac w itti them, and so far as we know, they have proved themselves to r be gentlemen well suited for their various positions; we only complain of tbe price charged, wbtoh wa, in commas with «U out cilixens, arc obliged to psy. It is id manifestly unjust,that all wilt unite with us in - condemning it; If tbe price from Cincinnati to Louisville was $3,60 or $1,00, we would peibaps bsre op right to complain, These boats have to laud bare every trip tu change the mail, and consequently they are put'to no. inconvenience on this account. Kecause we bare no railroad, dr ether mode of traveling, is certainly not a »ufficienl reason for "pulling the screws to ui'f in this manner.

In reply to. the? inqnirywhy he resigned after:so brief aleimof service, he sail, among other things, that ha had failed to receive from the late administration any support of money, military aid, and that general co-operation which had -been promised'him : on hia appointment'. He was. in fact, entirely stripped of the power to which, as an executivo officer, he was entitled.* The. territorial 1 judiciary was against him, and when he bad complained, of Judge Lecomple, no removal of that functionary bad followed. Presi* dent Pierce,' whose private purposes were favorable, ha supposed, must have been overruled by outside influence, and bad taken the half-way. measure of nominating a successor, without superseding the incumbent. . The interference of Lecompte for the release of Hays, who was charged with the murder of. Buffum, was an act warranting his removal from office; but it was not the only reason for the adoption of such a procedure by the federal Executive. Judge Lecompte would not attend to bis duties, and. while cases of murder and outrage, not to speak of civil cases, were constantly arising, requiring judicial consideration, he would not hold hia term for more than two. or throe weeks in six months. At the present time the tomtorisl court stands adjourned from last October till May next; Prosecutions and arrests of free stale prisoners would bo dispatched witb.all speed, to (he neglect of a great many other criminal coses, and of all civil business of the territory. . Gov. Geary found that, while ho arrested only free state men—for whom alone, on hi* arrival, warrants .had boon issued .was a very popular Governor; but when ho came to try the same process on. pto-slavery ’ offenders, it was a different thing; and one of, the federal officers in Kansas had openly -declared in public meeting that the laws were intended to act or "abolitionists/ 1 , and not on the "law and order” party, as it is termed. The Governor facetiously remarks that, by a sort of unwritten law of the tmiloiy, every mao born north of Mason and Dixon’s Uneds an "abolitionist.” No matter bow much nor at how much cost a northern "national” democrat may have exerted himself for bis party, and for the rights of the South, tf be enters Kansas and attempts a fair and impartial course, he is pronounced at once an "abolitionist.” Id reference to the case of Sherrard, the Virginian, be intimated that a full and authentic, exposure of the facta in regard to hia character and doings would reveal the political objects of those who were now canonizing bis memory. Governor Geary claims that ho has acted: in a perfectly impartial manner toward the different parties in the territory; that he has rid it of the men, who, on his arrival, were the terror of peaceable roci* ely, and that be knows of no official act on his part during his term which he conld wish undone.

Of course jl will be many jean before all of theie ( 'ro*d» are constructed; the {rant, however, will prove a great incentive lo settling the State. In Minnesota, on Ike first of June nest will bold an election for election for delfates to the Constitutional Convention, which assembles in August following.

Hi/: resignation took effect at the dose of the late administration. . Ho would not retnrn to the territory merely for tbo nominal honor .of tbo Governorship, and to resame bis former official position—a position in which he was deprived of all power to enforce his authority, or even to defend himself. From the tenor of his remark, I infer be is neither desirous nor very sanguino of being re-appointed by r cabinet, a majority of whose members are from tbo Southern States, which now stands as a suit against (bo maintenance of an impartial policy in tbe .‘errilorr. Governor dieary appears to think that a constitution establishing slavery will bo adopted by the Convention, which, in accordance with tbs aammons of (he late Kansas “Legislature," will bt elected on the third Uonday in Jane next,—The act authorized tho censtw and the election of delegates for this OonstitutionalOonven tion was'vetoed-by him on the ground that it contained ho provision for submitting the constitution which may there be made to the decision of a vote by the people, bat subsequently the act-was pasted over his veto. - This constitution, thus unrarified by the people of Kansas, will be submitted to the hext Congress; and it wilt be interesting to, observe how many of the opponents of the Topeka Free State Constitution will sustain so arbitrary and despotic an attempt to impose on the settlers of Kansas a constitution which they have not sanctioned.

Swamp Land Frauds.

Wo publish this morning a communication from Jasper county in regard to the much talked • of and little' understood •Swamp Land frauds. 1 Though unnecessarily, burdened with words, it states, with enough distinctness to make it worth while for the public to pause and examine the matter 1 , nome facts in regard to the disposition of (hose lands, which tve have not before seen in so authentic a shape. There are three points that stand prominently out in the letter. 1st. Tho letting of ditching contracts was made without a proper conformity to the requirements of the law, and in some cases without any conformity at all. 2d. The lands claimed coder the 'Swamp Land act* exceed'the whole amount of swamp, land in tbe county, showing folly or fraud somewhere, 3d, Thoamonnt of the ditching contracts exceeds the amount dnefor tbe lands by $51,000. In other words, tbs purchasers of swamp lands hare not only been made a present of their lands for the labor of draining them, but hare received 951,000 gratuity in addition. This is the first time, within tbe know] edge of most men in Indiana, that men have not only been given lands, hot paid for taking thorn. It would seem that lauds held at $1,25 per acre in their natural condition, ought to be worth improving at the expense of tbe purchaser, but it seems that tbe management of tbe Swamp Land Commissioners bare not only made the laud worth nothing, but so much worse than nothing that tbe purchasers Lave to be. paid for improving their own property.. This fact, and tbe certificate of the Auditor of Jasper demonstrate* some egregious incapacity or rascality somewhere.

Some of the ladies of Parka county, Ind., it seems having become indignant at a low doggery in their midst, took , the matter into their own hands, and abolish ed tbe concern. We find the following account in the Rockville RepvUio. in. The little village of Mansfield, in Jack* this county, was the scene of considerable excitement on Wednesday last, llih invt. It seems a fellow by tbe name of Barton has been keeping a low flung, dirty doggery in Mansfield for some time, and it had become so great a nuisance that It could not be borne any longer. Tbo Jodie* ot Mansfield, to the number of eight or ten, assembled on Wednesday , last, went into the den, knocked in the beads of barrels and hogsheads, and tbo mean, ••forty-rod" rat-got ran aa fret as the waters of Rig Raccoon for some time. After doing this good deed, the ladies returned quietly to their homes. The proprietor of the ••blue ruin'* was awful mad—ob, "tremenios madl” Ho came "to town to'procure a lawyer to prosecute .the ladies,(bat didn't succeed in finding one mean enough to take n fee, and ha was last been making tracks for Crawfords- - will©, to get a lawyer there. The friends of Barton, we learn, are making a pane to Btsrt him np again. Tbrco cheers for the ladies of Mansfield!

Governor Geary adheres to the opinion that the population ot Kansas, which, ae ho think*, does not - reach 30,000, is too small to warrant the formation of a Slate constitution, and that its beat interest demand that it should continue in a territorial condition xntil it shall have the.ratio necessary to elect a Representative to Congress. There are certain other facts in'connection with Governor Geary’s administration in Kansas that remain to bo revealed, but which, it is expected, will not long be withheld from the public. When they an made known, 1 venture to conjecture that they will make a sensation in the country which may have an important bearing upon its future political history.
