Torxxa, Feboarjr 19, MB-The ptst week has been a hot one in tlie Jxg-Ulatnre. The apportioument for Congressmen has been the principal excitement- The Senate, early In the wet.1t, passed a Tory fair and just bill; bnt the House went to work on one of their own, and after a Uanl and bitter fight, pawed it on Saturday. The House bill most unjust and unnatural. Counties are selected running in all aorta of zig-zag shapes, runuing from Leavenworth to Daris, and down as fir as Linn on the oath and Lyon on the sonth-west these are placed in one District, for the avowed purpose of getting the leading cities into one District, and throwing most of the principal aspirants for Congress together, without any regard to community of interests or the rights of the people. For this purpose, a majority of the members of the nonse entered into a league, at the beginning of the session, signing a solemn pledge to stick together, before knowing what sort of a scheme would be presented, or what injustice might arise from it.

They have generally stuck to this agreement, and turned a deaf ear to the protestations and just demands of a large portion of the Rfc. Thev found they had the power, and they cared for nothing else. This Is truly a brightl rewmifor impartial legislators! to blindly sign pledge to pursue a certain course, and adhere to it, regardless of right or fairness. We are sor ry to say that the three memoers irom aaouijuwu have gone into this alliance, which ia beaded by those who have always been the enemies of Doniphan County interests, and bnt for whom, our County would years ago have secured advantages that have been wrested from her. Tho noisy and ostensible leader of the brotherhood is a rip-voarioai Democrat.

One of the Doniphan mem bers acknowledges that the thing looks suspicious, and he wilt" probably cut loose and be governed by his own good sense, before the thing is concluded. Dave Pay.k, of Sedgwick, was one who sicned the agreement, on the spur of the moment; but when he found out what he was required to do, ho washed his hands of the whole bnsiness, and voted his own sentiments, not those cf the leaders of this indie. The nrosnect at preseut is, that the Senate will not agree to the House abortion, which may re mit in there being no apportiuiinirnr. in mat case, the three Congressmen would be elected by the State at large; in which case, the Holy Alliance would gain what they are after, though in a way they do not desire they would have all the big towns and all the politicians, in one District. The whisky bill passed the House some days ago, but in such shape that its friends seemed to care but little about it.

It is now in the hands of a Senate Committee, with but little prospect of its getting out before the close of the session. It is accompanied with about a dray load of petitions and remonstrances. The Herd Law bill is now on the Senate Calendar, and will be reached this week. The bill known as the Usury law has passed the House. If we understand it correctly, it permits contracts for as high interest as the parties juay agree upon, even if it docs exceed the local "rate; however, if the borrower refuses to pay the rate, upon settlement, the lender does not forfeit tho whole interest, but can collect 12 per cent, by law.

The grabs that are attempted upon the Treasury are fearful to contemplate. While some of them will fail, too many will succeed, that ought not to. The State can hardly get through with what ha been allowed, and what undoubtedly will be, without increasing the rate of taxation over that of last year. A bill has passed, increasing the salaries of State officers and Judges or, rather, the House passed the bill, tho Senate reduced the votes considerably, and the House refused to agree. A committee of conference will have to decide it.

The salaries of ail these officers are doubtless too low; but in view of hard times and heavy expenses, they might afford to worry through on present salaries a few years longer. The House, on Friday, passed over fifty bills at a swoop, in one roll-call. They were all of a local character, and there was no opposition to any of them. The legality and propriety of this prodcediug is extremely doubtful, however handy it may be. Notwithstanding this wholesale passage of bills, the House Calendar continues steadily to swell its proportions.

The compulsory education bill, after vigorous efforts to resurrect it, has been finally permitted to reniaiu dead. Kansas is not yet ready for that; and School Boards already have too much nnrecompensed aud thankless labor imposed ai- on them without being constituted special policemen, for the purpose of arresting and carrj ing to school all tho vagrant auC truant youth in their Districts. The bill authorizing tho White Cloud City Council to deed a square for school purposes, has passed both Houses, and will be in force as soon as it is published. It is unnecessary to refer to the numerous bills on the Calendar, until it is known whether there is any likelihood of their becoming laws. Many 01 mem are important, but at this stage of the session, it is impossible to calculate their chances.

In looking over the Legislative proceedings, not only this session, but heretofore, one noticeable feature is the small number of favors that Doniphan County has to ask of the State. There is scarcely a County in the State, however young or sparsely populated, but has many more favors to ask than Douiphan aud wc do not now recollect a single iustauce in it inch Doniphan County has sought to get her lingers into tho State Treasury. There is some hope that the steal annually perpetrated under the guise of appropriations to encourage immigration, will be cut off this year we say hope, for it is by no meaus certain. The State has spent many thousands of dollars to induce immigration, aud is called upon every Winter to appropriate money to keep the people from starving who have been prevailed upon to come. The Senatorial Investigating Committees are about closing their labors.

Indeed, the Committee to investigate the case of Senator Wood, reported last week, fully acquitting him of all charges, but reporting that they found that Sio-XkVCla'bke, through his friends, had attempted to bribe him. The Joint Committee expect to conclude their labors this week. They have fail-cdto secure the. attendance of bnt few of the witnesses summoned. The result of their investigations is not iMwitircly known, but it is reported that they will make ont a stronger case gainst Clarke than Caldwell.

Sidnet has keen bumming abont here tor some days, trying to coax or bin? the Committees into suppressing or silencing the proofs of his gnilt, but so far he baa ben nuxuccessful. Ho was the instigator of the whole business, for purposes of revenge and black-mail; but it has taken a chute that be did cot anticipate. He not the first man who has been blown up by a train of his own firing. The probability is, that two-days this eek will be wasted Wednesday, when the State Convention meets at Lawrence; and Thursday, when the Soldiers' Ee-union comes off here. There is not, aa yet, much talk of adjournment; but that happy rent will probably occur abont the first of March.

Ce" Jawging- from the amount of legislation asked for, session, on tho Price Haid claims, the Raid is becoming more destructive every year. He Becogxizkd she Porrurr Daring the war, while CoL-Weeb's regiment, the 10th Kansas, was operating in the Indian Territory, one day an Indian soldier came to the Colonel, for an explanation of some duty which he had been set to perform by some subordinate officer. After getting an idea, from the Indian's imperfect English, what be was driving at, the Colonel asked: "Who gave you these orders!" "Ugh! urn answered the Indian, making an effort to recall the natae "him General ah! Cap'oGoddam!" "Oh, yes; it waavFsUCa it was Pwcr!" exclaimed WEES." The Colonel was correct. But bow did he guess so How are few evenings since, a man, accompanied by a woman, stopped at the Eldridge House, in Lawrence, and registered as K. H.

Siiklby and lady, White Clond." They roomed together dnrinjf the night, and left next morning, without paying their bill. The man was recognized as person holding an important office in the State, who has a wife and baby at home; and the woman, as a certain loose character, whose wares are always in the market. We would object to White Clond being credited with Mr. Shelby," were it not that this is the first instance within our recollection in which a person residing iu his locality ever voluntarily yielded an honor to any other town! Wonder bow many Masons and" Odd Inflows there are in Kansas, who win support lYsneroy for reflection to the United States Senate. irewae FtJU Adwrtucr.

As Masons and Odd Fellows, as such, disclaim all interference in politics, such articles as the above can only serve as a handle for the enemies of these Orders to work at. Poxebot'S famous Chicago speech afforded deal of amusement to the public, and we should not think too harshly of those who have so liberally contributed to the popular fun of the day. On Wednesday of last week a man and his son were driving team across the river at White Cloud, when the ice broke and the man, team and wagon disappeared. The son was with difficulty saved. We did not learn the names of the parties.

This is supposed to have been accomplished by certain gentlemen in Kansas, as part of their programme to make divers officials "come down." tjT Jeremiah Clark has been appointed and confirmed as Postmaster at Leavenworth, in place of Mrs. Johnson, removed. Who this Cuhk is, and what distinguished service he has performed, that be should be used to crowd out a soldier's widow, who has given general satisfaction, has not yet appeared in history. XS" Judge Price, of this Judicial District, has resigned, the resignation to take effect March 1st.

isau $tatc Convention. Lawrence, KX, Feb. 21. The State Convention for the election of delegates to the Republican National Convention at Philadelphia, assembled here to-day. It is the largest and fullest one of the kind ever held in the State.

The organization was effected by the selection of Col. Jas. D. Suoddy as Chairman, and J. S.

Wilson as Secretary of the Convention, after which the follow ing preamble and resolution were adopted Whereas, The Republicans of Kansas, in convention for the purpose of electing del egates to unite with delegates of other States on June 5th ensuing, for the purpose of nominating the next President aud Vice President of the United States, desire to ive unreserved aud most emnhatic exnression to their confidence in thn Principles, their pride in the record, and their faith iu the future of that National political or ganization which carried the conntrvtlirnnoh thn difficulties, and preserved it amid the disasters of one of tne stormiest conflicts of all history, and wuicu una auuresseu lueii to me soiniion ot tnose delicate and difficult problems, which are the general legacy of all wars, and more especially as such a civil strife as ours, in such a manner as with snch local exceptions as would be inseparable from any 'policy of qualification to secure to the country at large a degree of internal peace, organic unity, financial standing and credit, that general business prosperity which are the wonder and admiration of all the Nations of the earth, aud believing as this Convention does that this satisfactory condition of public affairs is largely attributable 'to tho patient courage and wisdom of the man who was first the trusted Commander-in-Chief of the armies, and then the honored President of the councils of the Remiblie. it ia therefore Jlaolted, That the deleeates this dav chosen to and hereby are instructed to cast their votes for the patriot President and citizen and soldier, 'Ulysses 8.

The Convention then proceeded to an informal ballot for delegates, and the afternoon was spent Without reaching any definite results. In the evening the following delegates were chosen: H.

Buckingham, B. F. Sampson, John A. Martin, William Baldwin. H.

C. Cross. Win. A. Morris.

Josiah Kellogg, Geo. Noble, J. M. Haberlin, and J. C.

Carpenter. A strenuous effort was made to select as delegate Chas. H. Langston, Esq- well known colored Republican, but failed. The debate over this question was earnest, and the result disappointed large number of colored citizens; otherwise general good feeling prevailed, and there was not a dissenting voice to the re-nomination of Grant.

At a very late hour the Convention adjourned. isi The Methodist Episcopal Chruch in this country is certainly of the livest of onr religions instu-tions. It is a marvelous fact that, for the last two years, the Methodists have consecrated one new church in every eight hours and twenty minutes! And they have not only built the twenty-one hundred churches, bat they include in the number many of the most costly and beautiful edifices in the country. It apperrs uow that Gen. Ha'wley, of Connecticut did not know the Senator who paid $75,000 to his election, but ouly a man who did know the aspiring politician who manifested such an overweening anxiety to spend six winters in Washington.

"Three wise men of Gotham went to sea in bowl" once, and young man named Conrad Fey, one of the descendant of the later "wise men," escaped, the other day, for the third time in, eight days, from a lunatic asylum in New York, and successfully crossed the East river in a wash-tub. State If ews. Broke Jail. Yesterday afternoon two and Peter Armstrong, confined in the County Jail, made their escape, bnt were soon after recaptured. Sheriff Carmean, and deputy sheriff- Campbell were both absent at the- time.

Mr. E. Gaddies was In charge, and allowed the two prisoners mentioned to go for water. As the returned to the jail, and as Mr. Gaddis unlocked the inner door to let them go in, tbey suddenly shut the outer door upon trim and pot off.

Mr.G. cried ont to the top of his voice to Mrs. Carmeaii, who came, and with'the assistance of a colored man, opened the outer door. A son of Mr. Carmean, a lad about fourteen years old, taking in the situation of affairs, sized revolver anjj pursued the prisoners, and kept them in sight.

He followed them to the old pottery, near the bank of the river, where tbey concealed themselves. As the lad times, without effect. Uira being Gaddis sought CoL Walker at bis stable. The latter at once mounted his old war horse and sallied forth. Being informed by Mr.

the direction the prisoners bad taken, he soon came npon Mr. Carmean'a son, who told him the prisoners hail concealed themselves in the furnace of the pottery. CoL Walker deliberately went to the month of the furnace and hauled them ont. It is needless to add that they were safely rein-carcerated. Kan-tatTriim.

The Abilene Caroaietc states that on last Wednesday afternoon partner of James Kelly, a tailor in Abilene, returned from a visit to the country, and found.the shop door locked. He broke open the doottjld fonud Kelly dead. While lying on his side the bed, some one had evidently affected an entrance, and'while Kelly was asleep, delt him a blow on the right side of tne ncau witn tne pole Man ax. reny was in the habit of wearing a belt around his body, containing several hundred dollars in money. This belt was gone, provingthatbe bad been murdered for his money.

The partner of the murdered man, a German, by the 'name of Dietrich, is under arrest, bntitishardly probable that he is gui" ty. Two other, men. are also under arrest on suspicion, i The La Cvime Journal says that there are ru mors afloat around the city in regard to silver ore- being found in that vicinity. We won't pretena to say that such is the truth, but we know that certain parties have been prospecting for it and claim to have found what they have been seeking for. One person living within three miles of the city limits, told ns the other day that he had sent some specimens to an assayist in St.

Lonis, taken from his place, and the result of, the analysis was that the oro was rich in the precious metal, and that it would jay well for working." We give the rumors for what they are -worth, cot vouching for the truth of them. Piatt county, acconding to the Landmark, is full of mad dogs. In the vicinity of Weston they, have done much damage and caused great alarm. Hundreds of dogs are being slaughtered. The St.

A company has been formed to utilize the salt springs in the vicinity of Arkansas City in the production of salt. Fanny Wilson, one of the demi-monds of Wyandotte, took strychnine ou Saturday night of last week, but her miserable lifo was preserved by timely medical aid. A new town has been laid ont on the Little Arkansas River, ten miles due west of Newton, to be named Halstead, in honor of JIurat Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial.

Much bay has been burned in Lyon county by incendiarism. The object is supposed to bo to make the country untenable for Texas cattle. Ou Wednesday last, the house of Mr. Andrew Davenport, seven miles south of Eudora, was destroyed by fire. Loss $1,200, insured in the Home, of Topeka.

Mr. Davenport saved a small portion of his household goods. The Girard Prru states that the residence of Mr. Gathright, about four miles northwest of Girard. was consumed by fire on Monday night.

The family barely escaped with their lives, and savedscarccly any clothing. Loss, $1.000 insured for $2,900. The dwelling house ofT. D. Wickersham, located on his farm on the Smoky Hill river, six miles south of Salina, was destroyed by fire about ten o'clock on Monday night.

His loss is between $1,400 and $1,500. He hardly saved $50 worth of furniture, the family haviug barely time to escape irom me uunuing. Atchison's new hotel is to be dalled "Pomeroy Honso." The Central Branch, the Topeka and Santa Fe, and the Atchison and Northwestern Railroads are going to build a splendid uniondepot at Atchison. The Leavenworth Commercial says that Kansas has her share of Bills. There was Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill, Apache Bill, Comanche Bill, Buckskin Bill, Bill Mathews, and now she has a Temperance Bill before her Legislature.

The cost per car load of coal from Fort Scott to Kansas City is $16 50. At times five or six trains a day, principally of coal, have been run between these points.

The Alabama Clond Claims of the United States. Pending any official statement from the English government of its attitnde with regard to the Geneva Court of Arbitration, it will bo well to consider tho exact position maintained by the United States in the prosecution of her claims for damages. Upon the ground that Great Britain failed to perform its duties as a neutral, in respect to the rebel cruisers, dnriug the late rebellion, the United States demands that the Geneva Tribunal shall award her damages. These damages are direct and indirect. The direct damages grow out of the actual direct losses, in vessels and cargoes, to our commercial marine, inflicted by the lusurgent vessels, and the heavy national expenditures caused by the pursuit in addition to which the government puts in a claim for interest, from an average day to be determined, to the day when theraward is payable by the terms of the treaty, namely: one year after the date of the ward, the United States suggesting the 1st day of July.

Shoridthe English government refuse to pay the damages fixed by the Geneva court, it would be tantamount to war. in which the United Statea would seek to collect both the direct and indirect damages.

The indirect damages, which have caused the recent protests npon the part of the English press, may be classified as follows The loss in the transfer of the American commercial marine to the British flag. 2. The enhanced payments of insurance. 3. The prolongation of-the war, and the ad dition of large" sum to the cost of the war and the suppression of the rebellion.

Now that the indictments fannd by the Grand Jury have, been TMeen ted, the question of most importance ivwhsljeridenco exists to fasten the guilt npon the persons accused! The five indictments against the Mayor quote the following fraudulent bills which he failed to audit: JuaeSO, 1870 Inzertl A Co 133.193 39 Jane 3. 1870 Ingenon Co .,14.030 36 June 27, 187S IozttmII A Co 33.330 93 Andrew J. Garrer 40.895 34 JomC, 1870 Andrew J. Gsmy 41.363 43 The Mayor says that these bills were made out to cover one side only of three or fonr eommer-cialcap sheets of No footings were made on any sheets bnt-the last, and no amounts "carried forward." On'each nam manrins of an inch and half or two inches were left at both top and bottom. On the last page the total was footed np, and tbe bill receipted by the tradesman offering it The warrant.was nude ont, duly approved, and sent to him attached 'to tbe front pace of the voucher.

It was his habit to look at the total, andif it agreed with- the warrant, to sign unhesitatingly, notwithstanding the uncommercial appearance of the bills. Subsequently, he thinks, the voucher, when returned to tbe Controllers office, was detached, the warrant pasted on the last page, to which a new head was appended, and the warrant for the total amonnt drawn. Then the other pages served aanew bills for lesser amounts, bill-heads being added, the columns footed up, receipted, and warrants drawn. In this way the bill served for three or four. This explanation, in the Mayor's mind, accounts for the- wish to get rid of the vouchers.

It is said that Peter B. Sweeny's share of the audit plunder has been traced directly to him through his brother, he having received $560,000, or ten per cent, of the whole. One deposit of $30,000 was traced from Woodward through the Nassau Bank in James M. Sweeny's name; tbenee through the Bank of North America, and tbe banking bouse of Duncan. Sherman until it appeared as tbe bill of exchange on which Peter 6.

Sweeny visited Europe, ostensibly on bnsiness of tbe Parks, but really on that of the Erie Railway, from the directory of which he had shortly before retired. Many other amounts deposited bjr Woodward were eventually found to have by James M. 8weeny for property deeded to Pe'er B. T. EttpJt.

The Imaycratton neJon. One of the important bills on the calendar of tbe legislature this session, is one introduced, wo believe, by Mr. Boynton, entitled "an act to cre-5u i. eommissionerof immigration for the State of Kansas." It purports to settle the question as how weshouhi attracts profitable foreign immigration to our State. Immigration, although oneof the essential meansforthedevelop-ment of the essential means for tbe developement of the resources of young State, whose future wealth seems so largely conditioned by the effort of her agriculturists, has heretofore been dealt too lightly with.

The general sense ofonr legislators has been that immigrants come to Kansas fast enough without any special effort ou their part, -efu we heard it said, "than the State cau provide for them!" The assertion, true as it seems, mt an argument in favof of Mr. Boynton's bill. Immigrants who are liable to become a bnrden to the State will come without solicitation: bnt what we need is the hardworking farmer, who comes not only with the determination to create for his family a permanent homo on our wide, nnsettled plains, but who also brings with him means enough to enable him to await the result of a season labor. This class of immigrants does not come fast enough; tbey want some reliable assurance of success before they exchange their present home associations however wauting for new ones thousands of miles away, and such assurance will be doubly effectual, if it comes from the competent authority of a responsible State' government. The act we refer to is calculated to render tbe necessary aid to that of foreigners.

It provides that a commissioner shall have bis head-3uarters near the port of New York, and whose uty it shall be among others to furnish information and advice to foreign immigrants, and especially in the interests of Kausas by ay of correspondence and advertising, a-d also to contract with packet lines and railroad companies for low transporatioii. All who are acquainted with the manner in which the ignorant immigrant is landed at tho various ports, and on bis way to the west, anil especially, those who have been through the mill themselves, with appreciate this as a most expedient and hnmaue provision. Older States havo tried it and profited. The small appropriation often thousand dollars asked for this object, we are confident, will provo the most reliable investment ever mado by this State. There are at present thousands of well to do families in the new gernian provinces of Alsace and Lorriane, and more or less everywhere in Europe, who are dissatisfied with their social and political condition a word of Kansas to them would not be lost, if it come from reliable author ity.

There are also in the mountain 'districts of central and southern. Germany, conntlesa numbers of small land holders and miners who can make but a scanty living-for their families, even by the most desperate exertions. Both these classes constitute an element that we can put to good use, and their attention is directed to the hospitable land of freedom in the west, where many of their countrymen have found the peace and satisfaction they could not have iujheir own war and tax ridden mother country! We earnestly recommend, honse bill 19G to the careful consideration of the legislature. Kama Tribune. CORKESroXDEXCJS.
