The Black Laws of Kansas. We deny, openly and bold!y, that the "obnoxious laws," of which so much compl tint Fias been made, or any one of them, has been made the basis of any proceeding.

civil or criminal, within the Territory cf Kansas, 6i:ice its organization as a government. This has been asserted, time and again, upon the floor of the Senate and House of Representatives in Congress, and has never been denied. Mr. Douglas, in his speech in the Senate, on the Army ppropriation Bill, delivered August 27ih, referred to this matter in such a firm, that, if his statements were not H:erallv and strictly true, it would noi hnvc been 1 f., as it was. entirely unanswered. Af.erspcakin;r f cruel an 1 i human :u"s tl.at have rern?ly b'ii c .nimi' 1 upon (he peaceable ani urioireK Ü !,' .-si ic: a fie Tenito'y, by La:.e:jJ i i-, a -1 bfrii i. he says: "What is 'he 'xcv.e f f Vid -gatsiza ii .f mi!i ri'V f:M., i i? io ur-Lo of a peaceable p"pl, ihisbui'd iof l-.ous-es and rnurdeiiMg of citizens? TKeexeuse is, that certain laws, which have ben read to the Senate several limes to-day, and on many previous occasions also, are cru-1 and tvranical, inhuman and barbarous. That is the only excuse which is offered for all this crime. You say that you are not willing to allow the President of the Uniud States to use the mili.ary force fir the enforcement of these barbarous laws. When did he over propose to use it for that purpose? When has he ever used ii to enforce one of them? You know very well that up to this hour no one prosecution has ever arisen under any one of those liws of w hich you complain. By common and universal consent in Kansas these laws remain unexecuted, and no moitM man has ever made a complaint to a court of jus ice, so far as I can Iarn, for a writ or process for a viola-ion of any one of those obnoxious laws. You know that they l ave never been executed. You know that the very officers of whom you complaia in Kansas do no: pretend to enforce them. Hence von l.nve 'in ti rht. fo sunnose: and I uno it df'rt.'ike fo say you do not believe, ihat those pariicular laws arc to ho enforced by this Mppt-opiia ion; and, thciefre, the excuse whn-: you give f r tli def.-a: of tl army ir propria i.n bill is not sustained by the f .. s. I is a meie pre ex:, and has no f . . . . i no i.i too i i .i u ii. Whenever I lind a man saving to me on the stump thai his vo'e against the army bill was in order to prevent the Presi lent from et.f ireing those particular obnoxious laws, I shall say o him thai he kn ws that pretext is not true; that there is not an honest man living who does not know that it is a mere excuse. You know that the appropriation bill is not for the enforcement of those particular laws. You have been

told before, time and ag.Vn, .hat no one of!el,eJ P'"ües "f l,,e i'''y of that il!;j

those laws has be-n e. fo-ed, no one of r I their peialii-"s las been i itlir.l. no case of 'h hi : I ever .'. im y.--, when one ofvoil : 'o nrd e ; c. .-,.(' o Xcase the" m (r e;!ifrime ,,f ojij i i r -e m-oit and proluei ig eivi! ! :!

I show the pretence in regard 'o hese l;iW5 is a false -reason, and the i erference i. is inaL mere is a oiiierern one w; i.-n imtheir action; and whv not avow h- . ,. ., , true one, it consistent with honor, wi ll du-i ....,..- . , y, wi.h patriotism? Iam constrained to ,i . t i ti i , .ir, i ' .1 ' ,,k ' lection approaching, there would be entire , ? , ;iiuiei .-um peace in jvansas. i am conI strained to believe that each crime commitied there recently has been done by the J '"uyrs 'lI pn.icai organization, i am i . r is i w COIlS! Trillion itw uAVO 1 1o f Tina thn i a. .ii . i , , gularly appointed agent and commander for that purpose, and that this is no: to close I until afier the Presidential eleci n. When that eleciion is over, if the Constitution triumphs, ns I bdicv it will, there will be peace in Kansas; for there will be no motive for any political pary to Bpend money to fit out bands of marauders and desperai.i K.s . . uncivil war. o r None of you will pretend that these obnoxious laws, to which you refer so often, have been the cause of the disorders and disturbances which have occurred in Kansas. Again: is it really true that you are anxious to get rid of these obnoxious laws? If it were true, with your organized majority iu the other House, sufficiently numerous and well trained to d fe.it the appropria i n bids and S'op the wheels of Government. could you not nave pr.sseu n mu io; I .11 1 a 1 . 1 ' teiieai me obnoxious laws; l on nave noi dared to pass a bill lo repeal them for fear the Senate would concur, and thus destroy your political capital. We passed a bill to annul them once, and sent it to tho House of IlcprcsonUtiycs,

and your majority would not take it up and

pass it. W then sent the bill a second time, and your majni y in the House of Representatives would not lake it up. It was well known that the reason why you would not take it up was the fear that a few of your men would join us and pass the bill. It was unnecessary for us to send a third bill twice, assuredly was enough. It is no excuse to say that our bill contained other matter which you did not like in connection wii.li that repealing section. If you had inseparable objections to the other matter, if it involved your consciences or your judgment, you could have snicken out all that yon objected to, and sent us the residue. You have had assurances sufficient to-day that your action would be concurred in by the Senate in a moment if you had done i ; and if your folks are sincere in de fei ing these ob:ixi us laws to be repealed. yu will take up our bill and certainly pass 'he repealing sec:ion, whether you pass he rem tinder or not before 12 o'clock tomorrow. We shall now wau to see whether vtu are sincere in Irving to isci rid of diese obnoxious laws. 1 believe, and L ia painful to me to be under the neccssiiy of saying i hat I have been forced to the convic ion, iter, you will not permi: these obnoxious laws to be swept from the statutebook uiöil afier the Presidential election. 1 believe you have a d is i net, understandinir thai the repealing shall not pass. It is the main plank in your political platform for the pending election." Iu addition to the fact that these "odious laws of Kansas" are not responsible for the desiruction of the Free Stale Hotel and the Printing offices, at Lawieuce; the arres: of Robins n, Brown and Die'.zler; nor foranv of the distui bances that, have arisen in tl;a Territory, the speech of M.-. Doujlas discloses another one of the u.nios iaipor - a nee and significance. lie shows conclusively that the Black Republicans of (InHouse are alone lespotisibli-s f r ni liatai.iing those laws upon the siaiuie books of Kansas. Let thi be remembeied bv evei v man who is compelled to listen to the ddeful Jercmiudes of these snivelling, cantinhypocii es. Mr. Douulas tells you, iu express terms, that if the House had passed the Senate bill shorn of every other provision except the repealing clauses, the JSena-e would have com lined. Mr. Hckter, of j Virginia, in a speech on Mr. Weller's bill. nn extract of which we published last iuesday, tells you the same thing. They challenged the House to pass the bill in that shape, if they would pass it in no other, and send L back Jo them for concurrence. The House refused to do it, for the sole reason than i. would deprive them of a little political capi al in the Presidential election. They wish to make just such use of those laws as the Journal is making, when ifalsely asserts that they are the responsible causes of all ike atrocities that have blackhuir,e 1 i-rri.ory. o oew.

No earthly object, whether animate or inanima e. can lesis: i s power. It cleaves alike ;h stalwart oak and the ponderous roch. 1 destroys property and even life itself in the twinkling of an eye. The desire, therefore, to avert the fatal, fiery bolts, and securo protection from liirbtnintr. U stron" and universal, and ihe mjans of accomplishing this object is a n;a .ter of great importance. The lightning rod of Benjami.i Franklin is believed to furnish the desired protection when properly used. Hut iheie are several things necessary to be underStood in regard to its construction and use, in order to make it fully effective. Upon this subject Prof. Lovering, of Harvard Universi has furnished io the Arne i in Aim mac, inform ion whh h will be real. . . . I wi:, ,ierest at, ihistime, when ihe kcisom of thunder storms u upon us. j Tho terms "conductors" and non-eon-, ductors of electricity, he says, as applied to matter, are only comparative terms; for the two classes gradually raorgo into each

other, leaving the distinctive term merelv an expression of degree. For instance, copper, ranks high as a conductor, and air very low a3 an insulator; yet an electricshock vill sooner pass through a short interval of air than over along copper wire. This fact i3 dependent on a law, the duo observance of which can alone insure the efficacy of any projecting apparalus. Another quali'y in a conducting body is i s cojjacilt, which exercises an important influence over its conducting power. Thus, an electric charge which would pass safely over an ordinary copper wire, would burn up entirely a fine wire of the same metal. The chief things to bo sought for in li duniug rods are good conducting material, good capacity, and to secure good connec lion with moisture in the earth. In addition to these, the area of their protecting influence should he regarded; the number ofrols lequited for each building; their posi ion in special cases, and the mode of arranging them. Metals are the best conductors, the choice lying between copper and iron. Dii-ereut experimentators make the cvuducting power of copper from five to six and a half times that of iron; so that, having determined the sec-ional area of an effi

cient copper rod, an iron one of six times1 that area will possess the same conducting power. Iron, however, is not effective and durable, unless entirely coated with silver, ci.pper, tin, palladium or gold, in ConSö. ' ijuence of liabili y to rust. As to the capachy of rods, the sectional area of a copper one should varv from a circle one-half to diree-f iirths f an inch in di maier, the larger area for very tall conductors, and the smaller for shor.cr ones. The fjrm of the rol, whether fi;f or round, is i:nm.Veri:-d. bu i th -ul I be :i entire and ns s rai di: as possible, availing all alrupL angles and short turns, and presenting a shyi; pohii to il e clouds, v. i h the aj'ex tipped w-i;h palladiam the m powerful conductor of elecuici y known. A bundle or rope of copper wire has been filial to b. verv effiv'u n pio'ec ion against liilii uiült. as has been fully tested on JS;. Peter's church at Ron;e, all other nie;hids hrn ing failed. Tlie mos: impor'an consider;: i n, savs Prof. Lovei i ig, i a g,.od c nnec:iou widi ihe ea: h, as wi.houl thi all other precautions will be in vain. The conductor must penet:ate li e earth till i reach--s ihe subsoil, wheie is well impregnan e 1 widi water. In order tore due- tie oxi la ion caused by thi- nvistire, an 1 ficiiita e the di-s-charge ol the electric llui J. i. is al isablv that the red should tetmina e by several branches in a sunken bed of well burnt, charcoal, wood ashes, or spent tan bail;. In affixing the rods to a building, they should be elevated above every other point of attraction at least four times thedi unoterof the area to be protected; this in an jordinarv t-ized house would be ten. or hfteta feet above the highest chimncv. The i rftds'shoiild be affixed to the building bv conthutlvtj, and not insulating staples; for a flash of lightning w hich may have forced i:s wav through manv vards ot air would lind no difiicul y iu pa?ing such slight obsutcles as glass, or staples covered with copal varnish, if such a direction form-d part of the lightning's path previously "feli out." It a conductor passes near a mass of mete! in tolerable connenction with the earth, the flish, will sometimes divile itself, one portion following the rod and the other the si le path; and in order to avoid an explosion, all suspected vicinal! electrified bodies should be connected whh the conductor by metalic wires or bands. Sjome of the experiments reserved to by various nations to secure immunity from the efforts of lightning, are thus related bv Prof. Lovering. "According to Herodotus, ihe Thracians, iu limes of lightning, were iu the habit of shooting arrows against the skv, to repel ii from the earth.

Hunting the Elephant. Af.ei three or four days'- unsuccessful hunting I resolved, there being good moonlight, to try what might be done with elephants by night, shooting at the fountains, and I deteruiined to make Carey, one of my servants, shoot with me, he using the bigrifioof six to the pound, and I my dngle barrelled, two grooved, of eight to the pound. On reaching a fountain, which is called by tho natives 'Paapaa,""l found the numerous foot-paths leading to it, covered, as I had anticipated, with fresh spoor of elephant and rhinoceros. I then proceeded to study the best spot on which to make our shooting hole for the night. It would be impossible to prevent some of the game from getting our wind, for the foot-paths led to it from every side. The prevailing wind was from the east, so I pi ched upon the south-west corner of the fountain. The water was not more than twenty yards long and ten yards broad. The west side was bounded by tufnoas roek, which rose abruptly from tho v.w.er about five feet high. The top of this rock was level with the surrounding valley", and here all the elephants drank, as if suspicious of treading on the muddy margin on the other three .sides of the fountain. I made our shooting-box within six or eight yards of the water, constructing it in a circular form of bushes packed together so as to form a

ledge about three l'cet high. On the top of the hedge, I placed very heavy dead old branches of trees, so as to form a clear rest for our lifles; these clean old branches .vere all lashed firmly together with strips thorn bat k. All being completed, I tock it! steeds to a shady tree, about a quartsr cf a mil-i t; leeward of the fmnia'M, where we f.rmed a L'ia:d and took oil" the s.ddles. Titisd.'.y was n;i! ;i'Ui.i!-lv .idauted to bn::g game to the wat .T, the sun b dsig extremely powerful, and a hot dry wind prevailing all tho afternoon. Four old bull elephants drew near from ihe south. They weie co-mag light on for ihe spo'. where we lay, and thev seem-d very likely to w alk over the fop of us. We, therefore, placed our two big rtfles in posi. ion, and awai.ed their frvaid movement with int..Mis-i iuterc:. On they came, with slow and stately Step, tint 1 widiiit tweu! v

From the Cibotaviilc (Müs.) Mirror. Madness. We have reii of two bitter foos meeting on a plat of ground, b-jsiie a deep, precipitous chasra. They engaged hand to h;;:id and steel to steel, in the stiife. Oi:a of ihem at length, fueling that his opponent was gitiing the better of him. grappled in and strove to bear his antagonist to the ground. They struggled, tiiey wrestled, they bent backwards and forwards, and swayed to either side. In the liercencs3of the strife they approached near the edge of the c'.iif. Suddenly one of ihem made a mighty e2brt, flinging his whob wei 'h: towards the bunk, b r.e his f v forwaid, and in a deadly embrace they both fell crashing, bloody, lifjless, down into the abyes below. Afier all the blood and treasure, toil and suti't-.iing after all the p-ayera and watchings, faith and hop?, in wi tch was laid the glorious Union of these United States after all ;hc glorious results and rich fruition of this Union after all the power, the woalih, the h;ippi:i?S3, the prospcruy, at!d the harmony whioh have f i!!?n into the laps of two generations z$ the fiuits of ihat bles ed "Union" in o n e general aovreignty of independent States after r.ll the triumphs of war and peace, winch have added glory on the blight c-jcutchcon of the nation rtf.er al! ihe hallowed, and holy, and sublime deds and events of ihs p:st, and the brighter, greater, and holier visions of the future after all the fond hones
