THE OATH
Unextremely taken by the First Seats Person Delegate Association,
on the second day of December 1857.
Resolved First, That an utterly
reprediate amid constitution framed at Lecompton; that it is an instrument
hostile to the popular will; and, appearing to our GOD of Justices and humanity
for the recitutede of our intentions, we do solemnly enter into a League and
Covenant with each other, that we shall never, under any circumstances, persue
the said Constitution, so framed and not prohibited to be the organic law for
the state of Missouri, but do pledge our time, our fortune, and sacred honors,
in sensless hostility to the nerve.
D.N. Garrnear, Clerk of the Silver Heels handed us St.Louis dailies of
Tuesday, yesterday morning in advance of the mail which was brought up on the
F.X. Aubry. We are obliged. Thanks to Gro. W. Harris mail agent on the Peler
Star, for late St.Louis dailies. Capt. Ruer, Clerk of the Pacific Line Steamer,
White Cloud has our thanks for late St.Louis Dailies. A.C. Carter, Esq.
Messenger of the U.S. Express, has placed under obligations for recent St.Louis,
Cincinnati, and New York daily papers. W.F. Block, Clerk of the Pacific Line
Steamer, John H. Dickey, will please accept our thanks for late papers.
Our Friends’s Mistaken
On the first page we copy an article from the O.S.
Journal upon the Amendments to the Lecompton Bill. The article is well worthy a
perusal and one with the sentiment of which we heartily concur save wherein
allusions are made to employing the Lecompton government should the Constitution
be received. We believe the writer to be sincere in these recommendations and we
know that they are prompted by the most worthy motives for there is not a more
earnest friend of Freedom than their author, but still we they do not shadow
forth the policy by which the people of Kanzas will be willing to meet the
Crisis assumed to be approaching. Deep as may be, the interest which our friends
in the States take in our affairs and closely, as they may watch the course of
events, they can not fully understand our condition, they neither can know just
what obstacles we have to surmount to accomplish an end, nor just what spirit
animates the all conquering majority of our people. In fact they are ready and
willing to admit this and all the advice they tender they expect it to be acted
upon only when as so far as the people here who are familiar with persons, facts
and circumstances deem it prudent and efficient. We do no believe there is a man
in the broad land who loves the cause of Freedom and who has sympathized with
the struggling heroes of Kanzas, that would advise the People here to originate
a government under and out of the Lecompton Usurpation if they could believe
that there is any possible means of avoiding it. If the Lecompton Bill should
pass in some other form, our friends fear that there may be a necessity to call
a Constitutional Convention through the Lecompton Legislature. It is only in
view of such a necessity that they make the suggestion. They believe, from the
tone of some papers in Kanzas, that there may be a considerable portion of the
people in favor of such an adjustment and hence advise unity of action. Could
they see the deep and settled determination of the people could they know the
earnest and solemn resolves of the massed never to submit to the Lecompton
government or live under one springing from it a poisonous stream from a putrid
fountain the apprehensions which now beset them and lead them to view things in
the light they do, would vanish former, and they would receive a faith in our
people which would make them one and all recommend as a chart for our action,
“Right is always expedient.”
Why should the Government of Kanzas originate
through a Convention called under Lecompton? Is there a necessity for it? We
think not, unless it be necessary to comply with the requirements of the
Swindle, and in so doing there can be no change affected for years to come. We
believe the opinion to be a correct one which assumes that just so soon as
Kanzas is admitted as a State her citizens become sovereign to that extent that
they can change ther Constitution withour regard to the government of the United
States. It is a good time, at any rate, to ascertain whether the Federal
Government has a legal right to invade the sovereignty of the States and dictate
to the people thereof how they shall regulate their local affairs. If Kanzas is
admitted under the Lecompton Constitution we want to see the people put the
government in motion which they are now instituting, and see if any power in
this country will dare to interrupt its operation. The case is a clear one. The
people will be sovereign. They will cast the Lecompton concern to the earth and
trample it into dust and over this new and beautiful and erect institutions
which will have sprung fresh and pure from the popular will and which will have
their foundation in and their strength from the popular heart.
A great cry
has been raised, pro and con about the officers qualifying under Lecompton
providing it should be revised. The Free-State men elected only purpose to
qualify to kill it. We have faith enough in them to believe that they do not
intend to do more. To their killing Lecompton by selling a convention we
earnestly protest. The men of Kanzas never can submit to receive a government in
that manner without abandoning the whole, of the great principle for which they
have been struggling so long and so valiantly. But it may possibly, be within
the power ot the Lecompton Legislature to do a good service to the People. If
Marshall receives the certificate of election as Governor Judge Surre can
contest his seat before that body. The election returns will throw all the
offices into the hands of Free-state men and when they become possessed of them,
they, any and all of them, are suffiently patriot’s to step aside to allow the
People’s Government an unobstructed track for its triumphant career. By this
means, if it should become necessary, the persons elected on the fourth of
Jannary might do Kanzas a lasting favor and aid her People in securing a full
and complete vindication of the principles for which they have been battling a
glorious triumph over the predatory bands of villains and the powers of corrupt
and degenerate Administrations by which they have been beset for years. Such a
triumph would give the history of this era a character of which our country
might be proud would invest this political drama with a luster which, like the
magnificence of the closing day, would gleam on long after the actors shall have
been gathered from the arena of strife to the resting places of the honored and
the brave.
The Opposition.
In the absence of some topic general interest about which
to write, we propose to devote a little time to the consideration of the puny
cry which has been raised by a few political Liliputs against the Leavenworth
Constitution.
There are some persons in this world who are, fortunately or
unfortunately for themselves and others, endowed with just such an organization
as exactly adapts them to the pursuit of finding fault with raising objections
to, any thing and every thing which chances to come within their notice. Of all
terostial beings they appear to be the most ill- starred. It would seem that
either by some freak of Fate they had been precipitated into a sphere absolutely
incongenial to them, or that by some rude jostle of Destiny their faculties had
been thrown so entirely out of tune as to render it quite impossible for them to
feel, think, or act in harmony with any considerable number of their fellow
creatures. They may be the necessity of a wise provision of nature or Providence
whereby a good end is attained in some accountable way by the most untoward
agency for it is not unfrequently the case that Nature in her grounds and
Providence in its designs, do employ some very enigmatical instrumentalities to
bring about intended results, between the operations and fruits of which the
finite perception is unable to trace, satisfactorily, the relation of cause to
effect.
These ill-conditioned individuals, are, we doubt not, of some
benefit to society though in what particular it may be difficult to determine.
In every department of subionary things anormalies can be found, the exact use
and purpose of which may have remained an unsolved problem for years or ages.
Why should the delicate blush of the rose be guarded by needle pointed briars?
Why should the bearded nettle render the shaded woodlands dangerous as a play
ground for the bare-footed urchins? Why should night be made hideous by the
snarling and yelping of curs, when large honest dogs would seem to conserve the
end of the canine existence so much better? The physical man requires acids as
well as sweets and so it may be with the mental. And who shall say that the
genus Grumbler does not serve some such purpose or that he does not furnish the
necessary amount of annoyance to keep community alive to prevent thought from
becoming stagnant! May he not do a good service to mankind in pricking and
nettling and spurring them up by his whimpering and whining, snarling and
croaking? Be the proper end of their being what it may, the world is inflicted
with this class of croaking individuals, of which Kanzas has her share, and ,
they have, of late, been trying to arrest attention by snarling at the work of
the Constitutional Convention recently in session at Leavenworth City. At he
head of these we may say stands Dr. Davia of Leavenworth, who, after signing the
Constitution of his own accord, and almost before the ink of his sign-manuel had
become dry, began to quibble, because, forsooth, the Convention had not obeyed
his dictum respecting one of his pet hobbies. The Constitution is so good a one,
so fair an expression of the sentiment of the people, so nearly up to the spirit
of the times in its liberal provisions, that it seemed for a while that even
these natural-born murtnurers would be non-pleased. Day and night have they been
snuffing and accenting every section of the instrument in search of some
vulnerable point some phrase or sentence which because of apparent ambiguity or
some other trifling imperfection, might be made the pretext of a wanted hue and
cry. We occasionally have looked out upon their operations watched them nosing
every create and crevise in pursuit of a bug-bear and lo, they have found it.
One whose olfactories are especially Sam-ish has scented a live “Fur-in-er,” and
another who in his time has been frightened at prodigious heels, thinks he
smells Sambo in the wee-pile.
The provision extending, with some
limitations, the right of suffrage to Foreigners is, perhaps, quite as liberal
as the similar provision in any Constitution in in the pountry, but is not in
advance of the times. The laws of the several states, which must be regarded as
a fair exponent of public sentiment, goes to establish this and the history and
face of political parties, alope, furnish us with all the delima which a liberal
policy requires, in this matter Experience has exhibited the noundest theory and
developed the safest practice, and we are inclined to deem it wish to adopt what
experience indicates to be proper and expedient.
The emission of the word
“white” before the words “male citizen,” however, is what most excites these
indomitable growlers. This omission, to them, bristles all over with untold
horrors. It excites their imagination until that buoyant power bodies forth
forms hideous beyond compare until they can see nothing, either in the
foreground or the remote distance, but Wood and Ivory, Ebony faces and long
heels! And they have so wrought up their minds upon this subject that any one
listening to their tirades would think that already had an innumerable train of
the blackest and ugliest of Negroes commenced an Exodus from other states with
the expectation of finding the Promised Land in Kanzas! These individuals will
not give the simple and plain interpretation to the sentence which exercises
them so severely. Under the Leavenworth Constitution “every male citizen of the
United States,” &c., is to be a voter. When the question, “who are citizens
of the United States?” is answered the whole matter is laid at rest. In adopting
this as a qualification neither the people of a state or their representatives
can in any wish modify the qualifications essential to citizenship under the
government of the United States. Those qualifications are established by the
laws of the United States and those laws are expounded by the Judiciary of the
United States. Whoever possesses the qualifications required by the laws of the
nation, as interpreted by Judiciary, will, providing they possess other
requirements set forth in the Constitution of the State, be voters in Kanzas
until the people determine otherwise through the ballot-box.
Who can or will
object to citizens of the United States voting in Kanzas? Even the Lecompton
Constitution, which recognize the right to enslave men, extended the right of
suffrage to citizens of the United States would any man have the Constitution
framed by the Freedom loving portion of our people, any less liberal than the
Swindle? Has the word “white” been stuck into Constitutions so long that such
instruments must ever contain it for the especial gratification of Caucasian
eyes? Whether or not people be more liberal and generous now than formerly, is
it not becoming to avoid invidious distinctions when they are useless? Is it to
be supposed that even these croakers would disfranchise the Indians the Red men
who have been admitted to citizenship by Congress? The Convention well knew that
there is a wide diversity of opinion as to universal suffrage, and it believed
that the people alone, by a popular vote, should determine to whom the right of
suffrage should extend, in those cases where such a division of sentiment
exists. To give the people a fair opportunity to decide this matter for
themselves the Legislature is instructed to submit the question to a popular
vote, at its first session, at a time far enough in the future to admit of its
thorough discussion, and the Constitution is so framed that the will of the
people as then expressed may be incorporated into a law which will be
Constitutional.. And hence whilst now the right of suffrage is prudently guarded
under it, there is latitude for the people to make it as general as they may
desire to.
The omission of the word “white” in the Article on Education, is
also made the pretext for snapping and snarling. The persons who take serious
pains to cavil about the Leavenworth Constitution seem to be altogether
incapable to comprehend how an Organic Law should be general in its provisions
in regard to those matters about which they are crotchety. Respecting these
things hey would have special laws incorporated in an instrument intended only
to be the enunciation of general principles upon which the government of the
state is conducted. The Convention did wisely in declaring that every child in
the state should have the privilege of obtaining an Education, leaving the
regulation and classification of the schools to be made through Legislative
enactments. So it will be seen, upon examination, that those provisions in the
Leavenworth Constitution about which a few designing and querulous individuals
have been harping are so adjusted that the People, hemselves, have the amplest
opportunity to determine whether distinctions shall be drawn on account of color
and race, and if so, how far the discrimination shall extend.
Since the
above was written we have received the following communication from an opponent
of the Leavenworth Constitution, and, as it is so characteristic that it will
illustrate what is set forth above, we place it before our readers. The amiable
manner in which the members of the Convention are dubbed “designing
politicians,” shows the light in which he regards the Free-state party. The
modesty with which he begs the whole question shows to what degree there in
strength in his position. The fact that he voted for Delegates to the Convention
under a law identical with the provision of the Constitution the same lsw under
which the Territorial Legislature provided that the Constitution should be voted
upon shown his conaimtency. Of the paper as a whole, as of the entire opposition
we must say, tussis pro crimes.
The New Constitution. This Delegates elected
to draft a Constitution for the people of Kanzas, have finished their session
and the result is before us, soon to be voted upon. In the mean time it is no
less the right than the duty of those who intend to make Kanzas their home, to
discuss its provisions. The past history of Kanzas admonishes us to closely
scrutinize the Government and the Laws under which we are to live, leaving no
avenue unguarded through which the views of the people may be misconstrued by
subsequent legislators, elected without reference to particular questions.
“Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty,” Eter the remarks of one dear to the
hearts of American People and that saying is most truly applicable to us at the
present time. Let not the people of Kanzas because the opportunity is presented,
rush blindly into every fanaticism prepared by designing Politicians. Sooner let
the Constitution framed at Leavenworth share the fate of Lecompton than that our
rights should be surrendered. Oppression is none the less oppressive because
self-imposed. That several sections of the new Constitution are objectionable to
a large portion of those acting with the Free-state party must be apparent to
every one. Prefer more particularly to the articles on the Elective Franchise
and Education. By examining the first it will be seen that the right to vote is
extended to all male citizens of the United States in the Territory. Do the
Free-state party of Kanzas intend to affirm the correctness of the Dred Scott
decision and incorporate the same in their creed? If not, why let negroes vote
for two years, extending to them that great privilege of which we so much boast
and then prepare a way in the Constitution by which they are to be deprived of
rights granted by the Constiention? Why not meet the issue at the onset? Let the
people of Kanzas say at once whether they are prepared to endorse negro suffrage
with all the evils that follow in its train. Again, should the Constitution
prepare at Leavenworth become the Constitution of Kanzas, then the white
children if they receive any of the benefits of public education must receive
the same side by side with all the negroes, who in consequence of the sympathy
expressed for them at the East in connection with Kanzas, will flood our State.
Yet if they are to come let them be educated; I believe it to be the wish of the
people, that there should be no difference in the extent of education, but that
each class might receive all its benefits and blessings separate and apart. By
pursuing this course I see no injustice to the colored race. Though the earnest
wish of a majority of our people is to make Kanzas a Free-state, they are not
prepared to endorse the abolition doctricne so strenuously sought to be
incorporated in all articles prepared by the leaders of the Free- state party.
OUTRAGE AT KANZAS CITY, MO. COL.
TITUS AGAIN IN THE FIELD. We are
informed by reliable authority that on Tuesday last the redoubtable Col. Titus
made an unprovoked assault upon Gen. S. C. Pomeroy of Atchison. The
circumstances as nearly as we can arrive at them are these: Gen. Pomeroy had
gone to Kanzas City to attend a suit at Law, as agent of the Emigrant Aid
Society, and was coming out of the Court Room in company with the officers of
the court and others when Titus approached and struck him on the neck with a
club. The Gen. Threw up his arm to ward of the blows and received a severe wound
on the arm. He was pounded and bruised up most ruthlessly. Titus had previously
declared that he would assault the Gen. If he made his appearance. Of all the
persons who witnessed this piece of Ruffianism not one offered to interfere in
behalf of the victim, but on the other hand as near as we can learn, stood by
listlessly and unconcerned as though Titus was performing a wholesome duty.
It seems however that after some reflection it was though that the affair
would not be very creditable to the place and it was determined to make some
expiation. In course of time Titus was arrested. When he was put on trial he
challenged the persons summoned as jurors until he got such as he wanted
empanelled. At the close of the trial they disagreed, two of the juryman
declaring that they would have only assessed a fine of $2 had Titus killed the
General.
We believe the citizens have since held a meeting and passed some
high-sounding resolutions. But we do not believe this will suffice. There have
been many assevcrations that the proscriptive element of that place had
disappeared. The above does not look much like it , and indignation meetings
after a man is brutally outraged does not amount to a great deal it does not
make the place a safe point for Free-state men to go to do business. It will be
difficult to persuade the public that there is complete toleration where such
men as Titus are not only allowed to carry on a nefarious traffic, but are also
treated to gorgeous suppers by the merchants and others who give character to
the place.
The Washington correspondent of the New York Times, in a recent
letter stated that Gov. Wiez of Virginia will join in with the Free labor
movement inaugurated by Hon. Eli Thayer, and attributon the autagonism of the
Governor to the Lecompton swindle solletude for the future prosperity of the Old
Dominion a prosperity which he very correctly holds will be proportionnie to the
success of enterprises which only are thrifty where free labor is encouraged.
Death of Col. Benton.
A week a go to-day the telegraphic wires carried to
every state in the Unionthis solemn dispatch:
Hon. Thomas H. Barrow died at
half past seven o’clock this morning. The St. Louis Democrat speaks of the last
hours of this veteran patriot thus: Even to the last, when stricken with a fatal
malady, unable to sit up, and kept alive only by restoratives, he dictated from
his couch, prostrate on his back many passages of his “Debates,” and wrote
hopefully, trusting that life would be spared him a few weeks to ensure its
completion. But remorseless fate has not granted the wish. He is numbered with
the pale nations of the dead. The man who shed so much luster upon our state,
who so long bodied forth its voice in the councils of the nation, who was at
once the pillar and the pride of the democracy of the land in the days of its
glory, will no more be seen amongst us. His strong, unbending spirit has at last
answered the final summons, and passed forth from among the habitations of men.
Peace be with his ashes. Let charity clothe with kind words his faults, and
history record with exultant pride his noble actions his fearless friendships
his lofty impulses and his unquailing courage to live, to work, to die. In the
grave, the animosities against him will go down to rest, whilst the sturdy and
grand elements of his character will live hereafter, to point hew generations
the path of duty, and the example of patriotism.
The Polar Star. During the past week we made a trip to Leavenworth on this
sterling boat of the Pacific Railroad Line. She is one of the swiftest boats on
the river and makes her time with a great degree of promptness. During the past
winter she was entirely repaired and refitted at a cost of several thousand
dollars, so that in all her accommodations she ranks high. She is in charge of
competent officers. Mr. Thomas Morrir, her clerk, is attentive to all who take
passage with him.
TOWNSLEY HOUSE.
If there is anything in the way of eating which is truly
delicious, it is a nicely broiled, fresh shad, and each a luxury was enjoyed by
the guests of the Townsley House yesterday, at dinner, besides a variety of wild
fowl and game.
Fresh shad from the Potomac, in this city, is a great luxury,
even for a private family; and the enterprise of the proprictors of the Townsley
House, in procuring so expensive a delicacy, in keeping with the character of
their entertainments. In all the essentials of the first-class hotel, location,
rooms, furniture, cleanliness, and table, it is among the first in the country,
and we notice that our editorial brethren throughout the country, who have
partaken of its hospitalities, speak of it with unqualified commendation. Such
enterprise cannot fail to be appreciated and rewarded. St. Louis Democrat, March
11th.
The total vote of Chicago, St. Louis, and Cincinnati, at the recent
municipal elections, were: Chicago, 16, 123; St. Louis, 13, 236; Cincinnati,
15,084.
GREEN MARTIN, a farmer in Georgia, has been convicted of whipping
one of his slaves to death and sentenced to be hanged on the 7th of May.
St
Paul is remarkably weel supplied with banking houses. The Times of the 31st,
chronicles the opening of the thirteenth in that bank favored city. JUDGE
LORINO, who was recently removed from office by the governor of Massachusetts,
is said to have received the appointment of sub-treasurer of Boston. THIRTY-TWO
STATES. The bill for the admission of Minnesota which passed the Senate on
Wednesday last, and will pass the House, rolls up the number of the states of
the union to thirty-two, and on the record there is already the shadow of the
pen, waiting to write Kanzas, Oregon, Ontonagou, Nebraska, and Washington.
CHANUE OF CABINET. A Washington letter writer of the New York Herald, in his
letter of the 8th says:
“There are rumors running deep among certain leading
men here of a possibility, and some say a necessity, of a change in the cabinet.
They say there must be more vigor and less circumlocution in high places.”
The printing-office of the Visitor, published by Mrs. SWISSHELM, at St.
Could, Minnesota, was entered on the 24th ult., the press demolished, and the
type thrown into the river. This contemptible act was perpetrated by James
Shapley, at the instigation of Gen. Lowry, who took offence at some articles
published by Mrs. Swisshelm against slavery, written in her usual caustic style.
The Peoria (III’s) Union gets off the following terrible anatheusa upon the
“traitors” and “rebels:”
Let it be borne in mind the Lecompton Constitution
was defeated in the House by S.S Marshall, I. N. Morris, Aaron Shaw, Rob’t
Smith, Thomas L. Harris.
Let their names be handed down to ten generations
as traitors to the Democratic party, to their country and their God.”
TOPEKA BRIDGE. Those who have been receptical about the construction of a
bridge across the Kaw at this place this spring, will very soon witness the
consummation of this project. Six hundred feet of the structure is now ready for
the passage of carriages and teams. The remaining three hundred feet will also
be finished in a short time, the piling and superstructure being mostly
completed.
The energy and persoverence with which this work has been
prosecuted, reflects great credit upon the contractors, Mesara. Jones, Kiddey
& Co., who have resolutely pushed it forward under the most discouraging
circumstances of financial embarrassment which have ever occurred in the West.
Added to this, ther have been many vexations but unavoidable delays incident to
the prosecution of such a work at this distance from foundries and other
facilities necessary to success in such an enterprise. This bridge is indeed a
monument of the enterprise of Topeka and of the energy of the contracture, and
we confidently anticipate that both partion will fully realize the return which
their enterprise and industry so richly merit. Topeka Tribune

On Wednesday night, for the first time this
season, we heard the shrill notes of the “Whippoo-will.”
Some of the
bill-sides in this vicinity are brilliant with blooming Redbud trees, and wild
flowers are springing up abundantly in the woods.
The Steamer Sultan, a boat
which run the Missouri last summer, was destroyed by fire a short time since a
few miles below St. Louis, and it is supposed that some ten or fifteen persons
were lost.
The Missouri is still in an excellent stage for boating. It has risen two or
three feet the past week and the largest steamers continue to make their regular
trips without any unavoidable delay.
The KAW RIVER. This stream rose on Tuesday last nine feet. It is now hoped
that the Wyandott and St. George packet Miame Belle will be able, for the first
time, to make a trip to the latter place.
MORING SERVICE. Rev S.D. Srones will deliver a ciscourse upon Temperanee,
to-morrow morning at half past ten 0’clock, in the Stone Church.
AFTERNOON SERVICE. Rev. N.O. Prerton of the Episcopal Church, late of
Philadelphia, will officiate in the Congregational Church to-morrow afternoon,
at three o’clock.
A cordial invitation to attend these services is extended
to the public.
THE WEATHER. Monday was rainy and cloudy. On Tuesday the air was damp and the
sky cloudy until near night when the sun appearec A frost fell during the night.
Wednesday the sun was out most of the day and a sprightly wind was blowing by
which the mud was rapidly dried up. The night was chilly but too windy and
cloudy for frost. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (to-day) very respectable
spring days no rain, a few clouds, some sunshine and considerable wind.
The Common council of Quindaro has resolved to sit on the first Monday of
Many as a Board of Excise to receive applications for License to sell
intoxicating liquors. It is high tune that the City Government had turned
attention in this direction. Whilat the sentiment of the citizens may not demand
a prohibition of the liquor traffic, it does demand that heavy License fees be
assessed and stringent laws be enacted to guard against the abuse of the
privileges extended under the Excise regulations.
One advantage which the
citizens expected to relize from a city organization was protection against an
indiscriminate and unlimited sale of liquor. This consideration, unquestionably,
influenced many to participate in the movement for a Charter. They now have a
right and every other citizen has a right to expect that the Common Council will
use all the power rested in it to enact safeguards against liquor selling, by
enacting heavy License from the Dealer and holding him properly responsible for
all the disorder that may arise from this traffic.
On last Monday Mr. Rosissor opened a Day school in the M.E. Church, to which
our citizens have an opportunity of sending their children. The School is
conducted in an efficient manner.
BACK NUMBER. Persons wishing back No’s of the CHINDOWAN, containing the
proceedings of the recent Constitutional convention, can have them in wrappers
ready for mailing.
H.P. DOWNS has recently returned from St. Louis, with a large supply of prime
stock. He is now ready to furnish Ladies and Gentlemen with any style of Boot or
Shoe, made in the most approved fashion and in the neatest and best manner.
WYANDOTT HOUSE. Mr. STEWART the proprietor of the House has been fitting up
his rooms in a neat and tasty style, and is prepared to modate all who may give
him their patronage.
METERS, NEEDLES AND BONHALL, Daguerrean Artists in Leavenworth, added to
their gallery the Amtrotypes of the Members of the recent Constitution
Convention.
They are skillful Artists, and execute their work with
promptness and in the best style of the art. Their rooms are at the corner of
Delaware and Second streets.
NEW STOCK. Wm. Lansing received by the Steamer Carrier an entire new stock of
Groceries. He has now a complete supply of Family Groceries of very excellent
quality and an extensive variety of Fancy Groceries among which are the richest
delicacies for the table, prepared by the skillful caterers of the Eastern
cities. All manner of Fruits and Berries, native and imported, preserved in the
most approved manner, can be purchased at prices so liberal that every man can
afford the luxury. Gove Mr. L a call and exam his varied and excellent stock.
CITY COUNCIL
SECOND POPULAR MARRINE, April 12. Present Mayor Gray and
Alderman McCown, Lansing, Veale, McCorkie and Klans. Minutes of last meeting
read and accepted. The following communlcation was received from the Comptroller
and referred to committee on finance:
COMPTROLLER’S OFFICE
Quindaro,
Kanzas, April 12,1858.
Gentlemen of the Common Council: The Charter of your
City makes it my duty to submit to your honorable body estimates for certain
public expenditures for the ensuing year; in compliance with this requisition, I
beg leave to present the following:
In the present condition of our City, it
may be well to curtail the public outlays, so far as practicable, by only
undertaking those works which our necessities seem to demand. But in those cases
where lots of land are to be purchased, it would seem advisable to make such
purchases at an early date, before lots shall greatly increase in value, and to
provide for such purchases in the first assessment made. With a view to this I
submit the following estimates for the purchase of lots:
8 Lots for City
Hall……$2000
4 “ School Houses……..1000
1 “ Hook and Ladder
House…..250
In the following estimates for expenditures in the erection of
public buildings, I have been governed by a belief that you will desire to
engage in the construction of buildings which will serve the purposes for which
they may be built for years to come, and be creditable to our city. I have
supposed that only a portion of the City hall would be finished during the
present fiscal year; and that the School Houses would be made so as to
accommodate the present demands, and yet be susceptible of being enlarged and
adapted to a large population. The following estimates, I think will cover the
necessary expenses for buildings:
For City Hall…..$5000
“School House for
white children…3000
“……………………………1000
“House for Fire
Department…….500
CONTINGENT EXPENSES.
Surveyor’s expenses, $1000;
Salaries for Teachers of Public Schools, $1200, Printing, $1000; Room rent,
$500; Books, stationery, & $500.
RECAPITULATION OF ESTIMATES.
For
purchase of Lots……$3250
“ Buildings…………..9500
“contingeut
