A new apportionment of Representatives, based on the census of last year, will doubtless be made by Congress at its ensuing session. According to the bill reported last winter, which will probably be taken up and passed, the House of Representatives, now consisting of two hundred and forty-three members, will be increased to two hundred and eighty. Kansas will then have three members instead of one. If the total number of Representatives is not increased we will be entitled to but two. TTTB Xal!

Tes TdE3 immediately after we bought it, took a position in favor of the sale of the Lawrence Branch of the K.

P. R. to the L. Jm Q. and the building of a road by the K.

P. R. Company from Topeka to Leavenworth. We advocated this policy because we thought it waa the true policy for the interests Leavenworth, a. also because our 8enalor, Mr.

Caldwell, was understood to favor that policy, and again because we de-aired and deemed it important to have harmony in our efforts to promote the prosperity of our city and county. We thought we were right then, and now we know we were right. Tbe Kansas Central Eailroad made their proposition. They came to The Times first, and asked us to investigate the narrow gauge policy. We did so.

We read everything upon the subject we could find, and became fully convinced of its practicability, and we went into the fight, urging with all the argument and influence we could command, the acceptance of the proposition made by the Kansas Central Eailroad Company. While we regarded the Kansas Pacific' Railroad- as very important, there waa an additional reason why we favored the Kansas Central Railroad project, and that reason was the fVcfr that Thoe. Al Scott, the great railroad king," a Stockholder and Director in the Kansas Pacific), was, with his friends, to take one-third interest in the Kansas Central Railroad. We were not disappointed in this. vScott has taken --that interest.

Irfr.Scbtt' being1 thus identified with the interests of the Kansas Central Railroad and ffe City of Leavenworth, we were ready to believe the stories he told ua that he would favor and aid the sale of the branch and the building of a new road by the K. P. B.JR. frcsu Topeka to Leavenworth In this we have not been disappointed. We learn that he has, and does now insist on car rying euCthe arrangement.

Thus far, then, it is plain that no mistakes have been made. The 2. R. is everything, thus far, tnat was promised as. Th transfer of the K.

P. Branch to the Ir 4Q.R we think will bemade at an early day. Senator Caldwell is in earnest and with the influence of his wealth and po- Buua wiu ancompnsn a. A new proposition is now before us. The Dress and Busmees Fancy Heavy Union CasHimer.

UNITED STATLN Leavenworth 7 Kansas Southern Railroad Company Every intelligent man believes the building of this road would advance the interests of our county. The only objection we have heard against granting the aid asked, is the fear that it wil throw obstacles in the way of the transfer of the Tikwreace Branch. We think it will not. Assuming this to be true, the first question that presents itself to us, is the proposition such a one as we ought to We Uke it for granted that the people will not accept it in its present shape.

Thanext question is what kind of a proposition will they accept? We think we Stated yesterday the very least that would be satisfsctory. It was this: that the Company agree to huQd a road to a junction with the Lawrence fc Pleasant Hill Road south of the i Kansas river, to build one hundred miles of 'road each year thereafter, until the "road preaches the Sonthern Pacific Road, and to maintain, equip, operate and and forever run through trains in the interest of Leavenworth. may demand more. We fail to -'see the necessity of asking more. All other "objections urged seem to be technical, and made by parties who would oppose the giving of aid to the corporation or to the road on ony terms.

No man who has the welfare of our county at heart should be influenced by any such considerations. We have heard the corporators of the Southwest Road say that if they made this offer, these grumblers would say they had taken a contract they HITCH Ml TO I nam imm Id Hats we have the mu-Ht styles International, Narrow auge, N.

They pushed the matter until thev found their own husbands. brothers, and sons involved, and and then suddenly des'sted and nothing has since been heard of the eradication' of prostitution in that city. If the same experiment were tr be-tried in New York the result would be the same. The supporters of prostitution would be "found to be those whom women cannot ostracise.

This use has its justifications in other pairs of words; as good and evil; peat and cold; ngnt anu oars; up and down; north and south; which in 'Tirin-, ci pie are the same, but in practice we are obliged to judge them as relatively At the conclusion of the lecture Mrs. Booker was afiorded a hearing and simply said: "How are jou going to reform those bad women you speak of if you teach them and permit them to live in promiscuity with men?" Mr. Tilton then declared the meeting ad journed and the audience dispersed amid general good nature.

We Wonder. We are ript given to speculation about other ueoiihVs business, but we confess to a little curiosity as to the position which the Times will take, under tne new oroer 01 things, on tire great questions of, tariff and reform. We gladly relieve the wonder of our friend of the Commercial. If he had read carefully our article of Sunday morning he would have Seen that there was no change. Vt bought ont the Bulletin because there were too many There was no consolidation other than a mere ab orption by the Times of the advertising and subscription patronage ot the Bulletin, The ownership, the editorial department and business management ot 1HS iimes re main the same as it has been since we bought it last coring.

The CoMmercial need not Wonder any longer, for the future will be the same as the past. Tbk Times will con tinue to favor protection to the industrial claswa throughout land. We fully be lieve in the dignity of labor, and duty of National, State and Jity 4 jk vera men 1 to piotect that labor by any anfl- an legitimate hcrislfl fion.

We like the above outspoken endorsement of the principle of protection to American industry. The Times is now on the right track. Let it hold on its way and it will triumph gloriously.

We don't propose to commit the Gazette to the support of I). K. or any other man for Congress, just at present, but we do say that a man who has wit and patriotism enough to favor American rather thin foreign industry, we could support him very heartily, so far as that question is concerned, while were he a ranting free-trader, or a sort 'alf-an-'alf with no well defined views on the subjeci, we would see him in Africa with Dr. Livingstone, before we would a thing for him.

Hamilton, Prescott, ludlum and ourself, it was the most successful newspaper ever started in the State.

After it passed out of their hands it had as many ups and downs as that cock-fighting old Mexican, Santa Anna, until it yielded, as we are quite sure it would, to the decrees of fate. Under the management of Mr. Burke it was good paper, and it is singular that the people of Leavenworth would let it go down. The history of that paper, from birth to death, if properly written up, would make one of the most interesting chapters in the history of Kansas Journalism. The Times ought to be a strong institution, for it has descended from about all the papers ever started in Leavenworth.

There are now two morning dailies, the Commerical and The Times, and one evening daily, the plucky little Call, Empire Concordia.

objections to the lady's charac ter, and, second, objections to the lady's iIpid. I was told that she was coming upon this stage slone and unattended. Now, as to her character, I know it, and in. it, nl vouch for it. (Applause and 'few hioooa I As to her views, she will eive them to you in a few moments herself, may: be that she is a fanatic it may be that I am a fool; but, before high heaven, I would rather he both fanatic and fool in one than to be such a coward as would deny to a woman the sacred right of free speech.

Allow me the privi We of savinsr that with as much pride as ever prompted me to the performance of nv in fiftean or twenty years. 1 nave the honor of introducing to you Victoria WoodhuU, who will address you on the sub ject of social freedom. MRS. woodhull's speech.

Mrs. WoodhuU was neatly attired in black, and read her address with great voluDUity from urinted oases. The reading occupied about two hours, and beyond a few inter ruptions which will be noted, secured a marked attention lrom the vast audience. The passages in favor of the abolition of all WaI restrictions' Upon the sexual relation nroduced mixed aPDlause and hisses, and evervthinf? that could bv possibility be turned into a double' ntendre was productive of laughter from a body of men who seemed to he rather purientlv inclined. They were evidently disappointed at the high moral cround.

and rather chaerinned at the limited license which the speaker's definition of free love would allow. Mrs. WoodhuU opened ns follows: My BiioTHEBa and Sisters: I come be fore the public at this time, upon this particular BubiecL notwithstanding that mali cious and designing persona have sought to 1 11 malign and undervalue my private we uu nersonal motives, in a manner that shall complicate the righteous sentiment of thet all-important issues. You are all aware that mv nrivate life" has been pictured to the public by the press of the country, with the intent to make people believe me to be a very bad woman. I have troubled myself but little about it, since there may appear to be very eood grounds for what has been done.

I was rudely and brutally thrust be fore the public by those who should-nave been my friends; and who, had I been as bad as they desire it thought I am, should have shielded me from harm as they would their lives. (ADnlause.) After a long and exhaustive exposition of the nrincinles of social freedom, she said: An exhaustive treatment of these subjects would involve the inquiry what should be the chief end to be trained by entering into sexual relations. This I must simply au swer by saying, "Good children, who will not need to be regenerated." and pass to the consideration of the relations themselves. All the relations between the sexes that 'are recognized as legitimate are denominated marriage. But of what does marriage consist? This very pertinent question requires solution before any progress can be made as to what social freedom and proslifution mean.

It is admitted by everybody that marriage is a union of the opposite sex but is it a principle of nature outside of all law. or is it a l.iw outside of all nature? Where is the point before reaching which' it is not marriage, but having reacnea wnicn it is marriage? If true, mutual, natural attraction' be sufficiently strong to be the dominant power, then it decides marriage; and if it be so decided no law which may be in force can any more prevent than a human law could prevent the tranformatiou of water into vapor, or the conuuence ot two streams: and for precisely the same reasons that it is a natural law which is obeyed; wh.ch is as high above human law as periection is high above imperfection. They marry and obey this higher law than man can make a law as old as the universe and as immortal as the elements, and for which there is no substi tute. They are sexuallv united, to be which is to be married bv nature, and to be thus married is to be united by God. Further on she said I know whereof I speak; I have seen the ui -t damning misery resulting irom legalized prostitution.

The passage which excited the most at tention from the audience was the following I would not be understood to say 1 hat there- are no good conditions in the present marriage state. By no means do I say this; on the contrary, a very large proportin of present social relations are commendable-are as good as the present status of society makes possible! But what I do assert, and that most positively, is, that all which is good and commendable, now existing, would continue to exist if all marriage laws were repealed to-morrow. (Applause and hisses.) AN INTERRUPTION. At this point Mrs. Booker, amid mingled cheers and hisses arose from the midst df a company of both sexes in a private box, and excitedlys aid "I would like to know how you would like to be born into the world and not know who was your father or mother A scene of confusion ensued, which was quelled by Mr.

Tilton's" announcement that if the audience wished to hear the lady irr' the gallery, both himself and Mrs. Wood- hull would aflord her the opportunity. Airs. WoodhuU bad, however, amid the wildest confusion, abandoned her manuscript, advanced to the front of the platform, and with vehement gesticulation, said that it was not such a terrible thing to be born illegitimately. She declared that some of the noblest and best men in the country, among whom she named David G.

Farragut, and William Pitt Fessenden were illegitimate children. The persons in the vicinity of Mrs. Booker had vacated their places, and the appearance of a policemen at her side inviting her to leave was the occasion of renewed confusion, and calls of "take the platform;" "hear her," She at first was about to go with the M. but finally determined to remain, saying, "I am her The po-" 1 iceman, with great discretion, retired amid the applause- of the audience, and Mrs. WoodhuU proceeeded to the close with but occasional interruption.

After extending an invitation to the men that hissed to take the platform with her, she said But, exclaims a very fastidious person, then you would have all the women become prostitutes! By no means would I have any woman become a prostitute. But if by nature women are so, all the virtue they possess being of the legal kind and not that which should exist with or without law, then I say they will not become prostitutes because the law is repealed, since at 'heart, they are already so. If therejis no virtue, no honesty, no purity, no trust among woman except as created by the law, I say heaven help our morality, for nothing human can help it' (Applause and hisses.) It seems to me that no grosser insult" could bebflered to woman than to insinuate that she is honest and virtuous only because the law' compels her to be so; and little do men and women realize the obloquy thus cast upon society, and still less do women realize what they admit of their sex by such assertions. I honor and worship that purity which exists in the soul of every noble man or woman, while I pity the woman who is virtuous simply because a law compels her. (Applause and hisses.) She defended Mrs.McFarlan, and declared that Mrs Crittenden should have given way to Mrs.

Fair for the, happiness of all parties. She said: "If our sisters who inhabit Greene street and other filthy localities choose to remain in And at every Fair where havo been exhibited, Ovea? all CoxnxictitOeH FOR SPEAKER. Col. S. A.

Ql'EER. It is Bomewhat remarkable, with all the rich coal fields which abound in Kaneas, and all the extensive facilities we now have for mining, that there should be a "coal famine" all over the State, and winter hardly begun yet. We can't understand it, unless it is because the discoveries at home have frightened away outside dealers, and no foreign coal is being brought in; yet even in Buch case, one woald think, with our present facilities, the supply ought to be equal to the demand. But it don't seem to be, for their is a general complaint of scarcity all over the State.

SCPREHECOCRT DECISION. The decision of the Supreme Court which we publish below, settles ope very important question, that of the right of cities and coun ties to employ attorneys other than those elec ted by the people. This decision may be good law, but suppose, as is often the case, that the city or county attorney is not competent to manage a difficult case, how are.the rights of the city or county to be protected unless they can employ good legal advisers. Will some able attorney enlighten us upon this subject: William McNeill Clough and Lysander B. Wheat vs.

The statement which the deserted wife of the poet, Joaquin Miller, has published con-; cernlng their separation, and his subsequent conduct towrds his children, is now generally believed to be truthful and correct.

This being the case, we concur in the opinion of a cotemporary that the poet of tbe Sierras would appear to belong to that rare class of heartless sentimentalists of which Sterue, who could rain floods of maudlin tears over a dead jackass, and permit his aged mother to endure the pangs of actual starvation, was so conspicuous an example;" According to this statement, evidently written in a spirit of the most sorrowful tenderness towards the mem- -cry of the now famous singer, Joaquin Miller left his wife and babes to suffer for the 1 actual necessaries of lifer fr DO other reason than the despicable plea that the coarse and practical duties of providing for his own flesh "and blood grated harshly on his poetic sensibilities, and roughly conflicted with his literary dreams and imaginings. In view of these facts, and of others which are equally discreditable to his humanity, his fine, fire-tipped verses, throbbing with life and vigor, beget a sense of loathing for their author, and are robbed of all their, weird and subtle -eharm. There is no worse heresy under the sun than the notion that genious absolves its 7 poss eaoor from the discharge of lowly duties, or lifts him above those moral obligations which bind menCand women of coarser Perhaps we owe the readers of The Times an apology for the very large number of per sonal notices which we have copied in these columns from other papers.

Leavenworth should know what was thought of the news-' -'pa)e situation5 in this city by the press of the Stat and elsewhere, and have therefore -oopTedevery notice, good, bai and indifferent, that has come to hand.
