We have not examined the the law, i i ,il consequently snow du inue provisions, yet had it been objectionable in tvei y proviion. the Secretary of Slate, had no light to hesitate one moment in regard to his course respecting it. The mere idea of a lid. grsde executive officer, discussing in ,ri f!Icinl paper, the provisions of the law of t! k Uyi.-Iature, was preposterous in the exti.

A' r.sae 'Election What Me Old Linert 'I l ink f it. The public mind has become thoroughly convinced of the manner in which t! c !-i:e flections were carried in Kansas, and the ronest portion of the old line press con-d.-mti it in no equivocating language. The Ma riLsburg, (Fa.) Union, a leading Douglas. NYbiHska sheet, says: From the accounts which have reached i; . of the lata election for members of theter- , , , ; n.mSlt mm Uara two imnortant facts: !- that the pro-slavery party have succeeded ri . t ry district by large majorities; 2d, that !.

When we characterize this as an .,. bilious outrage, we use the mildest terms .v can think of to convey our meaning. We - imported the Nebraska-Kansas bill on prineiand we still believe the principle to be .'! :ccf ; but, in the names of justice and free- : in we solemnly protest against the conduct t ti c Missouri ruffians, and call upon the ;u per authorities of Kansas to repudiate the . !. ciion as illegal and fraudulant.

' ; ..ForiiMFatMiBss. The Jstdkip. Mettrt. Editort : The quesUoa is frequently asked, who is to be the jJtoplet' candidate for the office of Judge of our new Circuit, composed of the counties of Wayne. Henry, Randolph and Jay. The office is an important one to the country, and should be filled by an able lawyer and a good man. William Grose of Henry county, it ia said, would accept the office. He would make a good judge. It is also said, though I am sot authorised to say so, or aarised oa that point, that Jacob B. Julian of this county would accept of it. They ax both honest and capable. Disclaiming any intention to interfere ia the matter, aad especially any design to say aught against Mr. Gioee; I take this opportunity of aying that if Mr. Julian will consent to serve. it is, ia my opinion, eminently due to him to put him on the track and elect him. His qualifications for the office are second to none, and there are fxcullmr reasons why he should now be the candidate. If two or more persons should aspire to the position, or express a willingness to accept that important office, it will be necessary to settle the question as to who shall be the candidate, and in my opinion that question should be determined at an early day. Our neighbors in Ohio are already girding oa their well worn armour for the approaching contest. Some I find who think that the nomination should be made by the members of the bar, ethers are in favor of calling a convention. As before intimated the time is rapidly approaching when this important question should be disposed of, and I make these suggestion for the sole purpose of giving the matter a start. Let there be union and harmony ia selecting and electing one of the gentlemen named, or some other one who will honor, not disgrace the position. A VOTER. Far Ik Pallaaiaa.

I wish also to ascertain how far gaud apparel and showy trappings, such as costly watch chains and'seals. finger rings, Ac, are connected with impudence among petty officials. Any information oa these subjects will be thankfully received. When all the facts necessary ar obtained on the above points, we intend to inquire into the mental capacity of these excreences on society. One object of this inquiry will be to ascertain if there is any position in society they can occupy, which is congenial to their tastes, in which they will not enjoy the privilege of insulting and disgusting mea of sense. What a pittiable view cf humanity it is to see a oung sprig of proud conceited impudence, holding a petty office that scarcely pays his cologne and cigar bills, yet treatiog all with whom he comes ia contact, as tho they were dependent on his nod for existence.

But after a space of two weeks, the court of La'.ure was suddenly reversed, insect life was silenced, and vegetation brought to a stand by a return of old Winter. The last two weeks have been . quite cold, aad the mercury was dowa to three degrees below xero on the XOth. This is someihing very unusual in this latitude. The Missouri river is quite low, but boats ; are coming almost daily, all crowded with emigrants. The tide of emigration is setting ;

ia strongly, ana so iar as i nave oDserve-a, a better class of men are coming now than maay that came last fall. Oar election for the Legislature comes off on the SOth. About a thousand MUsourians ' have passed our place this week on their way i into the Territory to vote. They were all j well armed and inglorioutly drunk. They 1 carried their flags, and went yel ing and ! shouting on their way in a most hideous man-1 ner. Report says that eleven thousand have i entered the territory on the same desperate mission. And who are they? They are from j the lowest state of humanity; most of them I never owned a alave. and most likely never j wilL They are the miserable hireling tools of others who would scorn to be seen doing th' dirty work. And these are the dirty minions ' oi senator Atchinon, encouraged aad set oa by every pro-slavery press on the frontier. One of theee, the Frontier News, printed at Westport, Mo., than which a viler sheet never received the impress of type, issued an extra a few days ago. filled with the most inflamma- i tory articles, and the most unsparing abuse of i our Governor. The Governor's life has been ' threatened, and some fears are entertained for ! his safety. ! It appears now that any attempts to prevent these desperados from voting, would be useless: like a sweeping avalanche, they will carry everything before them. They have nominated a number of candidates in Missouri.

I have long wished to see the North thoroughly aroused to the danger of slavery propagandist-!, and I have never ceased to hope for the arrival of that important period. It ia high time for every friend of Freedom, to take a firm stand against the encroachment of slavery. It might be well for me to say here, that I have been denounced by some in your region as a "fighting man," on account of the determined language used in some of my communications. To such I would say, that to engage in a strife of carnage and blood is one thing, aad to pursue a firm, unflinching course as a man and a Christian, is another. But I have but little sympathy for those who are going to wait to see whether Kansas will be free before they come here. Il every friend of Freedom were to pursue that course. Kansas would fall aa easy prey to slavery, and they would soon have a solution of the DrobIem. We want men who are willing to labor for the freedom of Kansas, and who are not afraid of doing their duty. Send us men of this stamp, and we are safe. Richard Mexdsithall. Dxad Heads.

We are now thoroughly convinced that the proceedings of the railroads in regard to th ostracism of dead heads had special reference to th press th exclusion of that class from courtesies that mainly contributed to put up our line of railway.

A "-Coup Desaion.v : -. A singular incident occurred a short time

mice in oneo; tr.e elegant talonsol the lAautse d'Antin. where a ball had assembled a numerous and brilliant company. A few years ago, in one of the principal cities of one of our Southern departments, a l-.-ve match united two young and amiable persons under the most favorable auspices. Their mutual passion had awakened such a lively sympathy, and excited such an interest for them in the citr, that the relatives were obliged to give their consent to their marriage which they had at hrst refused. These romantic unions look bright and amiling at tits:, but they are not always happy, And thus it was in the cast in question. Soon passion was extinguished, concord ceased, and stotms prevailed. Which was wrong? Both without doubt. Hostilities reached lo such a pitch that to live together was impossible; the relatives in'erfered. and a family tribunal pronounced a separa:ion indisensable. They had each brought a small but equal dowry into the general fund; each took their own: the wife returned to her family, and cer nuoanu weni to Pari - as the best place to enjoy his liberty. In Paris he fell the need of amusement. Dou biles he secretly grieved over th separa lion he had so eagerly sought; such a coua is the human heart! The young tradiction husband, once more a bachelor, seeking to dis- : sinate his ennui, threw bimsell with such j z.-al and so utile pruaence inio ice wniri oi pleasure, that in a short time he was completely ruined. Family misfortunes destroyed his hope of assistance in that quarter, and he was forced to rel v on himself. Various expedients failed, and after many vain efforts he was forced to fall back upon his accomplishments. He was a good musician, playing tbe violin, and he endeavored to obtain scholars without success, however, and he was obliged to engage as a member of a quadrille band. Thus it was that he was present at a fete in the Chaufse d' A ntin, a short time ago. Concealed in the group of musicians, he contributed adly to the pleasure of the evening, his melancholy glance wandering over the assembly, when" he perceived a lady, young, beautiful, graceful, richly attired, sparkling with jewels, and surrounded by an admiring crowd, lie recognized his uife, who was just taking lie' place for the dance before the orchestra. The violin slipped from his hands, aad the un- j happy artist tell tainting on the stage, iney hastened to the poor musician, raised him up and bore him to an adjoining room. The young lady, ignorant of the cause, approached, recognized her husband, and in her emotion exclaimed: Edward! is it possible? Edward?" A few moments after the musician recovered his senses, opened his eyes, and seeing his wife alone with him said: "Fear nothing, madame. You have come to request discretion. I will not speak 1 will not shame you by saying who I am. Be assured a d return to the ball." Yes," replied she; "but you will return with me. 1 will remain until you are able to give me your hand." Thus, leading the stupefied musician, she re-entered the ball-room, saying to the guests: "Permit me to iutroduce my husband!" It was a good thought a return of tender and a beiterexplanaiion could not have ness been I'iven of the words that all had over heard. They were re-united, and the husband shares the brilliant position his wife enjoys through a large inheritance. They will doubtless be baj-py, fo bvK mc wleer Uu hy were. X3An Importer His Career Suddenly Brocght ro a Clo6E. A man by the name of Charles A. Bowrn aliae Charles Saue. claiming to be a Baptist Missionary (?) from iNew I orK, was arresiea at v est union uapel. about four miles from this city, laatr nday. and taken to New York in custody of an officer from that State. The facte in the case, so far as we were able to learn, are these: This Bow en (which is his real name.) came to this city last fall in the capacity of a preacher, book pedler and school teacher. He is a resident of Livingston county. New York, where he stands indicted for perjury, and was put under bonds in the sum of $2,300 for his appearance at court a man named Da run Havens, going his security. No sooner was he out of the "clutches of the law" than he took "French leave" of his friends in that State, and made for th West. On arriving at Cumberland, in this State, he concluded to t stop, and went to work as a missionarry of the Baptist denomination; the better to conceal hid guilt, and to impose the more readily upon the good people in that vicinity, his first object waa to endeavor to build an academy by subscription he went to work soliciting the 'material aid,' and succeeded in raising 81.8UO himself taking a share. Wher. tbe day came for paying bis first instalment he was unable to give security for its payment, as waa desired, he left that region, and came to this city, wher he has been ever since, practicing his old games of deceit and hypocrisy. In the meantime he became acqua nted' wilh a young lady, residing near West Union Chapel, and on Saturday .the 14th inst., left the city to get married, and returned again early Monday morning last. The officer from New York being on the look-out for his 'bird.' assisted by our worthy Marshal, succeeded in making hia arrest, and took him on to New York, leaving his young wife behind to weep over his fai. and her sad and sorrowful, mis placed love! Indianapolis Sentinel. Ieventiov. The Decatur Press thus describes a "corn planter," recently invented by a citizen of Greensburgh, Mr. J aeob Stewart: This planter is of simple construction, being the foreworks of an ordinary wagon, except that th axle-tree revolves in the bub. The plows are attached to the seat-tram, and hang immediately under the axle, aad are raised or lowered by means of a lever to the ri ht of th driver. The grain is placed in hoppers on the inside of either wheel so ingeniously constructed as to discharge into tbe tube, underneath, from four to six grains every four feet of the revolution made by the wheel. It drops two rows at once the rows being three feet bids inches apart, and tbe buls in the row exactly four feet from centre to centre. We examined iu working carefully, and as owing to the hardness of the ground, it did cot cover, we are satisfied that by exercising some care on starting into tbe row. it will lay off and drop in rows each way of the field, and that with even more regularity, both as to the width of the rows and the graias to the hill, then by any other process that has corns under our notice. We do not leant whether Mr. Stewart intends patenting this planter or not. It is wall worthy of h. is said that a large aumber of th population of Rochester ar about to remove to Canada, owing to tbe passage of th Main law.

$ Pati" t5tf! est os Dbposits. We caanot refrain from savins? here, that the custom

of psying interests on deposits, a practiced by unincorporated backing houses, is in the highest degree pernicious. It is an illegidmate. unsafe business. The rate paid for deposits is all that money is ordinarily worth If not loaned aain. it will be eat up by th banker; if loaned it must be at an exorbitant per cent. If Ute depoits are loaned and there is a sudden call for them, then, ten to oa if there is not a burst up. In any view, it i a dangerous system of hanking. It m a system which has brought grievous evils upon th people of Southern Ohio, and w ar glad to see a strong disposition to return to safer and better ways. We have been nearly eaten up by usury, and it is time to have done with thta system of leeching D--gton Gaittte. j j The claim of Colonl Freement to 44.000 acres of mineral land in California, and which claim was recently decided in his favor, was originally purchased by him for 98.000.
