Jan. 9. After the memorials' and petitions were presented asking for amendments to the bankrupt law, Mr. Boutwell, from the committee on public lands, reported back a bill for the relief of aged or infirm pre-emption settlers on public lands, which passed. Mr.

Sargent introduced a bill for the protection of settlers in Utah also a bill to aid in the execution of the laws in that territory. Referred. The house bill making an appropriation of $2,000 for the legislative expenses of Colorado was passed. On motion of Morton, the senate bill authorizing national banks that have decided to reduce their stock to withdraw a proportion of bonds on retiring their circulating notes or depositing a sum of money in proportion as provided by law, was taken up, with the amendment of the finance committee which provides that whenever such reduction shall be authorizedany notes of such bank thereafter coming into the treasury of the United States shall be can it quickest and to settle the most eueciuu nrhnU T-Tiornrtfttion onestiOO for us in Kansas is not by wholesale and unreasoning abuse of our railroads, which despite all their faults have done and are doing an immense and most valuable work in developing and building up the state, but by snch a transformation of our products as will reduce the co6t of transportation to the lowest possible percentage of their value. THE CLAIMS I IT COHGBESS.

An Opts utter ie item. A. B. Ste- PDWU. Ridoeway, Jan.

5, 1873. Hon, Alexander H. Stephens, M. The commissioners appointed under the Kansas act of 1859 to audit and certify all claims for property taken or destroyed during the disorder in 1856 made awards in fa-vorof four hundred nd seventeen claimants, amounting to $712,978. Of this amount $77,198 were shown to have belonged to pro-slavery claimants, and the balance to persons of free state proclivities.

Thus it appear3 that the commissioners lifted themselves above the prejudices and affinities of partisans. The Wyandotte convention, and' the Kansas legislature have repeatedly memorialized congress on the subject. A committee of the 36th congress considered the matter during the whole period of its existence, and finally made a report of one hundred pages in favor of the claimants. The committee on claims of the 41st congress reported a bill appointing the judge of the United States court for tne district in which Kansas is embraced a commissioner to receive and examine all claims of a similar character, and to award to each claynant his actual loss, if in the opinion of said commissioner the government of the United States is justly liable upon the es tablished principles or law ana equity." You are of course laminar wun the decisions of the supreme courts of Maryland and Massachusetts, and other states usually cited in such cases. The theory of these decisions has been illustrated by the eloquence' of the leading jurists of America.

It Is the duty or the United srates to protect every state in the Union asrainst invasion, and, on application, against domestic violence." (Art. 4. sec. 4. const.

U. It is the duty or congress to mase all needful regulations respecting the territory belonging to the Unit ed States. (Art. 4, sec. 3, const.

U. police regulations.) The 'general government recog nized its obligation to protect the citizens of Kansas by ordering tne militia into service. (Letter of secretary of state, Sept. 2, 1856.) Your recent speech on the salary bill attests your generous nature. The Kansas claimants of 1856 chal lenge the sterner attributes of the blind deity.

Amid the gloom or German forests and the roar of British seas chivalry assumed the rank of an institution and, coming as vou do from the wreck or former greatness, who shall say that it may not have been reserved for you to re-erect on the floor of congress tho standard of generosity and of justice? Be Just to the living the dead are beyond the reach of favors or of frowns. In a few years It will be too late. Death will afford relief, and rjosteritv will blush at the in gratitude that ignores the most sacred obligations. The Kansas delegation occupy an elevated plane. Wedded to no clique, clan or faction, they are always ready to co-operate with any man who is true to the instincts of humanity.

If congress knew what it is to fight the wolf from the door and the thief from the stable as well as political bandits from the treasury, the mill of destiny would grind faster. National honor, the impulse of humanity and the rights of individuals all demand prompt and energetic action. Your obedient servant, O. H. Browne.

THE XATIOML GRANGE WHERE SHALL IT BE LOCATED. In all probability this question will come up for consideration before the annual meeting of the National grange, which will be held in St. Louis, commencing on the first Wednesday in February next. Nine- tenths of the members of the order are west of the Ohio river. Three-fifths of the order are west of the Mississippi river.

Is there any ne cessity for the officers of the Nation al grange to bo located at Washing ton city is it the most proper place for it Would not a more cen tral locality be preferable Ab this is a movement of the farmers, would not some point in the very heart of the richest agricultural region in America be the most suitable place to locate the national offices of the order? The order is now in its infancy. Buildings will have to be erected or prepared for the vast in-terests of the order. If another year rolls around, these buildings will have been erected or prepared, and then will come the cry, it is too expensive to make the change. That is what is said now about the removal of the capital of the nation. If the change of the location of the offices of the National grange is ever to be made, now is the time.

We believe St. Lotus is the prop er location for tho offices of the National grange. It is central, easy of access for the entire west and northwest, and would suit the people of the south far better tnan vasnng-ton city. A large fund is accumulating. It must not misappropriated.

If more has been or shall be received than is required by the National grange, it should be returned to the granges that have contributed it. We hope the masters of the state granges who compose the members of the National grange will carefully consider all these matters, and act wisely and well. Now is the time to make the permanent location. It can be done with less ex- ftense and with greater benefits than can ever be done again. Suffocated.

Chicago, Jan. 9. A fire at an early hour this morning burned a wooden building at No. S76 South Clarke street, occupied by L. Ka-lesh as a grocery store.

No. S74 was damaged by water and so filled with smoke that of a family living on the upper floor the mother wai taken ut senseless and her babe so nearly suffocated that it died shortly afterwards. New Yobk, Jan. 9. -A revolting scene took place this morning in the Hudson county (New Jersey) jail, at the execution of Jacob Mechella, a Russian seaman, for the murder of Deputy Marshal Stevenson in July last.

After Mechella had been hang- ing about three minutes, and while being lowered for the convenience of tho physicians, the knot slipped and he fell heavily to the ground. As rapidly as possible the rope was re-adjusted, and Mechella was again suspended, ana after a few convul sions was declared dead. A Baez Deposed. St. Thomas, Jan.

4. A French man-of-war arrived here this morn ing, bringing ex-President Baez, of San Domingo, as a passenger.

Gonzales, chief of the revolutionists, stipulat ing that he shonld be allowed to leave peaceably, and that his friends should be permitted to remain in the country unmolested. This was agreed to and the revolutionist army entered the capital amid the accla mations of the people.

The Missouri Legislature. St. Louis, Jan. 9. A resolution passed the house to-day condemn ing in severe terms the president and every member of the 42d congress who voted for or took back pay, 'and demanding that no Demo crat who had engaged in it from Missouri should be elevated to any office of trust or profit.

During the discussion Governor Woodson was condemned lor the appointment of Gen. if. Blair as the state super intendent of insurance, and the Dem ocrats were condemned for voting for Fernando Wood for speaker. The vote on the passage of the res olution was 120 yeas and 15 nays. 0 SfM Fire.

9. The Jour nal of Commerce has news from Wichita that McNutt, who it was claimed had been murdered and burned in the recent case of murder and arson in that place, turns out alive in Texas. It is now believed that a man named Lieber, who had just arrived from Kansas City, was the one murdered there, while the thing was done to get five thousand dollars insurance on McNutt's life. An incendiary attempt was made this morning to burn the St. Nicho las hotel, but the fire was discover ed in time to save the building.

Arrests. New York, Jan. 9. Geo. Smith, ex-deputy collector of internal reve nue for the northern district of Mis sissippi, and who has been indicted on charge of embezzling $25,000 of government money, is under arrest in this city and will be taken in a day or two to Mississippi.

Several members of the appropriation com mittee think the estimates will be cut down about ten millions. This will not be sufficient to bring the ex penditures within the receipts for the next fiscal year therefore some measures for treasury relief will be necessary. The house committee on post roads and canals this morn ing further considered McCrary's bill to regulate commerce by rail roads among the states, and fa vorably disposed of five of its four teen sections. The fourth section. prescribing the powers of the board of nine commissioners, was amend ed to amplify their powers and pre scribe a longer term for holding of- fiee than four years, From Spain.

Outstanding legal tenders The secretary of war was again before the house military committee this morning in a further explanation of his views on the proposed redaction of the rank and file of the army. He agrees with Gen. Sher man and. other high military author ities in deeming sucn reduction unwise and contrary to the interest of true economy. The commissioner of internal rev enue is much encouraged by the receipts of his bureau.

Our navy is our great arm of ofren rtS ao-ainat fnreien Dowers. It WW. Wg, is not true economy to keep our na vy at such a low point as to invite aggression or insolence, and to force the country, as in the late affair wun SDaln. to rush into extraordinary expenditures to meet emergencies. THX SALABT BIIX.

What the country demands of con gress is the simple, straightforward repeal of the salary increase bill. The "back pay" drawn by members of the last congress cannot be reached by any actiof the pres ent congress, and to attempt to do so is foolish and undigni fied. Nor is it practicable to endeavor to deprive members of the present congress of their back pay for the time they have already serv ed. They are not responsible for the law they found prescribing their pay upon entering cengress, nor can those who have drawn it be legally deprived of it. The true thing to do is to repeal, the law, to take effect from and after the passage of the bill.

And this should be done at once. AID THE CHIEF JVH- cramp. The recall of Attorney General Williams's nomination for chief justice of the supreme court is an act of deference to popular sentiment which we are glad the president has done. The objection to Williams did not grow out of the stories which have been set afloat about him, but from a general sense of his unfitness for the position. The de mand of the best sentiment of the country is that the office of chief lustice shall be filled by a man of recognized ability.

We do not look upon Williams as a bad man by any means, but he has no such reputa tion for ability in any direction as makes him a fit person to be appointed to the highest judicial posi tion in the country. We hope the president will now name a man who will command the confidence of the country. OCR GRASS PRODUCTS. The agriculture of our state is settling down to a solid and permanent basis and one that promises great prosperity for the future. We think that our great permanent agricultural staples will be found to be grass, "corn and wheat.

The extraordinary value of our grass crop is not as apparent now as it will be a few years hence, when we shall have largely increased our flocks and herds, and when wool, cheese, butter and beef shall form no inconsiderable part of our exports, while the natural grasses of our prairies shall have given place to clover, timothy and blue grass. There are several advantages which the products of a grass country give. In the first place, they tend to the preservation and increase of the fertility of the soil. This is a consideration that is not much thought of by our farmers now, but which will soon force itself upon their attention. In all the older settled portions of the Union the cost of keeping up the land Is no inconsiderable part of the expense of farming.

The exportation of grain tends to the rapid impoverishment of the soil, but the products of grass carry away but little. It is a well-known fact that the keeping of sheep and cattle tends to enrich the soil. With the presence of flocks and herds the land grows richer year by year. The products of grass are also more valuable according to weight tfian is grain. In seeking distant markets, or indeed near ones as well, this is a matter of great importance.

It costs no more to carry a pound of wool worth fifty cents to market than it does a pound of corn worth only one-third of a cent. We have said this is a matter of importance with reference to the near market as well as to the distant one. Let us take an example. A farmer lives ten miles, say, from his market town to which he is obliged to transport his surplus produce. He has a thousand dollars' worth of wool and a thousand dollars' worth of corn to turn off at the prices that have been averaging for the past eighteen months in our state.

The thousand dollars' worth of wool will weigh two thousand pounds, a fair load for a good team and one day's work to take it to town. The thousand dollars' worth of corn will weigh three hundred thousand pounds, and will make 150 loads of a ton each, and will require 150 days' work of a man and team to haul it to town. The transportation problem is generally treated of as one relating olely to getting our products to distant markets but a closer examination will show that it relates to moving them to home markets as well, and that the transportation of raw products of great weight and little value even to near-by markets Is most wasteful and ruinous. Wool, batter and cheese are products which will bear transportation. They are condensed.

The farmer can load five hundred dollars' worth of them on hit wagon and go to market with LAWRENCE. KA: ANDREW TERRY. CHA8. C.S. TREAD l'resi Collier Genera! Bankingand Savings Institution.
