The Trout House Soiree
On Friday evening was largely attended, and
passed off most agreeably to all present A;
more vivacious party it has seldom been our
privilege to attend, and the convocation of the
wit and beauty of our place has few parallels
in our recollection of social parties in Atlanta.
The weather was propitious, the preparal ion by
the affable hosts tasteful and complete, the young
folks were lively, and we Old people were never
in better humor for the fun. Altogether, the
party was a happy affair, and “breaks the ice ’
for a brilliant season, we have every reason to
hope. We shall be gratified to chronicle many
such this season, confident as we arc that noth
ing so contributes to the attractiveness of our city
as these reunions—the unfounded prejudice; of
anti-terpischoreans to the contrary notwith
standing. The unusual number of strangers
present last evening attest the truth of our pro
position.
Laws of 1855-6.
In its appropriate column will be found a
card from B. B. DeGraffenreid, Esq , which will
interest the legal profession of the city, and, in
deed, of the whole State. He proposes to issue,
at an early day, a pamphlet copy of the General
Laws passed by the lust session of the Legisla
ture, an enterprise for which he is eminently
fitted, from his connection with the State Ex
ccut’ve Department, and his familiarity with
the acts t f the Legislature. It will be invalua
ble to the profession, coming as it docs in ad
vance of the official publication of the Laws,
and will be entirely reliable. We do not donbt
the work will find rapid sale, and will remuner
ate Mr. DeGraffenreid for the labor he has be
stowed upon it, thereby entitling himself to the
obligations of the profession throughout the
State.
The .Penitentiary Bill.
’llie Governor has refused his sanction to the
bill providing for the lease of the State Pein
tentiary. This ww have from a reliable source.
His objection to the bill is a constitutional one,
as its caption provides for the “ lease or remo
val,” while there is no provision in the body of
the bill for the removal. In other words, the
body of the bill is inconsistent with its title,
while the constitution requires there shall be
no such discrepancy. The error of omission
no in itter where it reate, is a moat fortunate
one for the State, we conceive.
The “Border 1 ufflaus."
The St. Louis Republican give the charge
against the “border ruffians’’ of Mis ottri,’ o*
arming for tile invasion Kansas, a flat denial.—
It represents the true state of affairs in the
following paragraph, which we clip from its
Issue of March sth :
Falsehoods about Kansas.—The latest
Munchausen is, that the Missourians were mus
tering for another invasion of Kansas on the
27th of this month—“a simultaneous attack
upon I.emicnworth ivnd Easton appears to be in
eon temptation by the Kickupoo Rangers, and
o'her tinned companies along the Missouri lino.''
The fatal 47th has come and passed, and we
have dlspatehe id a later date from first rate
authority in Independence and all was quiet on
that border and in Kansas. There hud Ken no
inroad upon L°aveuworth or Euston or tatr
rencu ; no nun have been nominated for any
hostile purpose; and if the black republicans of
Kansas will only obey the laws give up the
tomfoolery about a State government, disperse
the loafers who are employed as a guard about
Isiwrenceand surrender all idea of making their
brethren in the north believe that there is con
stant. danger of their being "wiped on,” oy the
border ruffians, there will continue to be pro
found peace in that territory.
The Atheneuiu.
Despite tho damper thrown upon the perform
inces by the envious clerk of the weather, the
inusual attractiveness of the bills draws full
and appreciative audiences nightly to the Athe
neutn. Chanfrau and Albcrtiue have effectual -
ly wou their way into the hearts of our people,
and nothing less than such a shower as destroyed
Sodom could keep them from the Atlumeum.—
It is not necessary for us to occupy space in
laudation of the respective performances of these
two stars, whose advent was so anxiously ex
pected and so enthusiastically hailed. Those
who attend, no matter wliat their peculiar views,
temperaments or tastes, raise a universal shout
of approbation which puts to blm>h our poor
effort of commendation. We can only record
tlie gratification felt by our people, and repress
ti c enthusiastic encomiums into which we would,
any other circumstances, be betrayed, merely
because they would appear too poor beside the
heartfelt and substantial tributes paid, nightly,
to true genius.
Due thing we would remark, however, and
that is the singular unanimity of our people in
awarding, with seeming scrupulous exactness
the same meed of praise to the two stars. Mr,
Chaufrau, and Misu Albertite.-. Whether this
arises from the equality of their talents, or from
some other cause, we cannot say. We only no
tice the conclusion, reached after a fruitless ef
fort to detect the preponderance of popular fa
vor for either. No matter wliat the cause of
such an unusual balance in the scale of favor,
it is certainly a compliment to each thnt no one
is heard to express a preference for the acting
of either—uml to the outsider, the conclusion is
both natural and logical, that both are faultless
where neither falls behind, it may be said
that so far, the public view the race Ix-twcen

The Devil Amongst the Mail Bags.
Our patience with the short-eomings of the
mail, like Bob Acre's courage, liegins to ooze
out at our fingers ends. So ’ougas our injuries
were indirect we could hold onr temper com
fortably enough, and give to our complainings
a tone of iemonstrance; but when Uncle Sam's
agents begin to finger our small stock of ready
cash, it strikes us it is time to cense the appli
cation of palliatives and call for correctives.—
We know that in the wholesale anathemas
launched by the press upon the Mail Depart
ment, many chastigations fall upon undeserving
shoulders, and we have been particular hereto
fore in onr remarks to reflect nothing upon the
innocent. The difficulty is, however, to indicate
who are the guilty parties, and if Post Masters
upon the different routes complained of would
assist us in ferreting out the guilty ones, we
might avoid giving much offence by placing the
cap upon the right caput. Here is a case in
point, and we have several on file, just like it:
Batesville, March 8, 1856.
Editors Atlanta Examiner—
Dear Sirs : I enclosed four dollars to you the
26th of January last, for four copies of your
Weekly Examiner. 1 put the money in the
letter and sent it free; put the letter in the
mail bag and locked it and delivered it to the
mail carrier, and we have not received the pa
pers, nor heard from you or the money since,
and we begin to fear something is wrong about
it. We would like to hear from you on the
subject as soon aS possible.
Yours, &c.,
JOSHUA SUTTON. P. M.
The above letter is the first intimation we
ever had of the subscriptions referred to. Mr.
Sutton is a man every way reliable, and he says
he sent the money ; Mr. Boyd, our I*. M. here,
and his assistants are above suspicion, and there
is uo probability that the onus rests upon either
office. Now what’s the inference? The fact
is, we have been robbed of four dollars, and the
inference is that the robber is somewhere on the
line between Batesville and this point—some
official who itches for the. attention of the U. S.
Marshal.
Were this an isolated case, we would let it
pass, without comment, but the growing fre
quency of the occurrence alarms us for our
pockets, and we can no longer submit to the
injury, without at least protesting against its
perpetration.
It is useless to raise a ••muss" about the mat
ter. If onr remittances amounted to hundreds,
wc might expect to see efforts made to recover
them or detect the offender; but the law doesn’t
provide, it would seem, for the protection of
those whose losses come inside a V. uo matter
how frequently they may occur. We poo r
Devils, who earn our scanty crust by the sweat
of our brows, must put up with the peculation,
of the Mail people, as best we can, though wc
lose hundreds or thousands a year, we have uo
redress but to grumble, while the lordly mer
chant who losses his single draft of fifty dollars
commands the attention of the mail police, and
not unfiequeutly gets the whole or part of his
money back, together with the satisfaction of
seeing the offender receive his just deserts.
If wc were met in the street by a ruffian, who
taking advantage of our physical incq mlity
with himself, should appropriate the scanty
change we carry about our person, we could
with a single cry for help, put upon his track
u host of active policemen, who would ,at least
give us the fun of a foot race, as an equivalent
for our money, and we would say to those who
riot upon the remittances to our paper, that if
they w ill allow us this poor consolation, we w;P
grumble no more, but toil on with in reaped
effort to r< place the amount.
Now we have no suspicion as to who are in
terested (besides ourselves) in this last roobery,
and we havn't a very distinct idea of what part
of Georgia Batesville is in, hence wc cannot in
dicate the route responsible for our four dol
lars. 5Vc don’t desire to reflect unjustly upon
anybody,mu! tlipinnpecnt will, of course, take no
offence when we say that we are satisfied there
is at least one black sheep between this point apd ,
Batesville I Whoever he is, can accomodate
ns, and probably increase his stock of pelf, by
turning his attention to somebody rise's letters,
or at leaut give us the privilege of once hand
ling the renumeratioi] I’t.r onr labors before he
deprives us of its enjoyment.
Popping them Occasionally.
In the March nuinlsr of Godey’s Lady's
Book is n Revolutionary Sketch, in the course
of which a lud is introdtical upon the scene who
afterwards became president of the United
States. Il was when Gates had been defeated
at Camden and Sumter was surprisal in his
camp, that refugees from South Carolina went
flying, in squads, by families, mid sometimes
singly, to a place of greater security further
north. Old Mrs. Barite t lived in Mecklen
burg County. North Carolina, upon the road
which nimt of these unfortunates passed in their
flight. Many of them stoj.ped aud partook of

or two. lu a little while news cmne that the
British were advancing upon Charlotte. The
old kidy was of eonrse upon the lookout for
fresh intrlligcnci'. «ud imiuired eagerly of every
traveller. Aim! here the mention of lhe afore
said lad, "who afterwards became President,”
comes in:
Mrs. Barnett, standing at the door and look
ing anxiously down the road, perceived some
one upproaehing. "Sukey, and Jenny Brown,”
she cried, addressing her own child, and the
pretty daughter of lier guest, "run out to the
road mid inquire the news.” The traveller was
a lad on a sore!r jaded horse: the face of the
rider was very long ai..l sunburnt. Susannah ,
askal him whence be came ? “F rotn the Wax-1
haws,” wus his reply.
"Doyon know Major Crawford?'’
"To be sure 1 do. he is my uacle. '
"And who are you?”
••My name is Adnrew Jack.-en."
“What is the news about the British? '
•They are on tlwir way to Charlotte." I
••What Are you doing down there?*'
"Why, we are popping them occasionally."
I'iic kmg. slender face of the stripling w;us!
lit up with aplesaut smile, and bowing with]
the grace mid case of a polished gentleman, he I
said, -Good morning, ladies,” and went on his:
way. As he passed the house. Mrs. Barnett
bad a full view of his yellow cheeks and long :
face, and she laughed heartily when she heard ]
of his remark about "poping" the enemy.

American and English Navies.
As the subject of wa between Great Britain
and the United States is considerably agitating
the public mind of both countries, the compar
ative strength of the two navies becomes a
matter of much interest. We have looked at
the U. S. Navy Register for 1856, a volume
which, with its lists of officers, laws, general
orders. &c., contains one hundred and thirty-six
pages, two of which, however, are sufficient to
give the names, rates, place of building, situa
tion, and every other particular interest of our
vessels of war.
According to this list, there are in the Amer
ican Navy, ton ships of the line, thirteen frig
ates. nineteen sloops of war, three brigs, one
schooner, seven screw steamers, Ist class; one
screw steamer, 2d class; two screw steamers,
3d class; three side wheel steamers, Ist class;
one side wheel steamer, 2d class; five side wheel
steamers, 3d class; three steam tenders, six
store ships, and the permanent receiving ves
sels—making in all, seventy-six vessels of war
belonging texthc U. 8. Navy, and currying in
all two thousand three hundred and eighty-five
guns. Os these ships, there are in commission,
that is, employed on some sort of service or
other, (though scattered all over the face of
the. world.) two ships of the line, both of which,
however, are used as receiving ships; four frig
ates, thirteen sloops of war ; two brigs; one
screw steamer, Ist class; one do.. 2d class; one
do., 3d class ; one side wheel steamer, Ist class ;
one do., 2d class; three do., 3d class; two
steam tenders ; four store ships, and two per
manent receiving vessels. Os the vessels in
commission, not receiving ships, we have on
our own coast, ready for immediate use, noth
ing but the Home Squadron, consisting of one
frigate, of fifty guns; two sloops, of twenty
guns each ; and one small steamer, of flveguns.
Tee rest are in the Pacific, Coast of Brazil,
Coast of Africa, East Indiesand Mediterranean
—all of them too far off to help either the coun
try or themselves, i any emergency that might
arise. It will be observed, too. that of our
small navy, only twenty-two, large and small,
are propelled hy steam. The rest is all sail
vessels, and utterly worthless in a contest, with
steamships.
On the other hand, what is the state of the
British Navy? We find in a late letter of a
London correspondent of the New York Her
ald, that the British naval force in commission,
on the Ist of January, 1856, was three hundred
and twenty-five vessels, carrying 6,231 guns and
sixty-three thousand three hundred and thirty
five men! Probably at least two-thirds of these
are steam vessels. Os this immense force, there
are on cur own eastern and western coasts and
in the West Indies, thirty-eight vessels, carry
ing eight hundred and nine guns, and eight
thousand men ! On the 14th of February last,
there were in commission at Portsmouth, sixty
five men of war, of which one was a first rate,
of 131 guns; one second rate, of 90 guns ; two
frigates, of 50 guns; a store ship, of 42 guns ;
(all screws;) two paddle steam sloops, of 6
guns ; and five mortar vessels. This large fleet
could reach our coast in two weeks, making
with the British vessels of war, already on our
coast, one hundred and three powerful war
ships, a larger number than the whole Ameri
can Navy put together, not more than a dozen
ships of which, at the very outside, could be
gotten ready to meet them'
In addition to the great squadron in commis
sion at Portsmouth, and that already upon our
coasts, there were on the 14th of last month, at
various nava! stations in England, of vessels
complete and being brought forward, twelve
steamships, together of forty-six hundred horse
power, and carrying five hundred guns, besides
eleven gun boats, and other large vessels, not
at present, in readiness for sea. It is not too
much to say, that, were war between the United
States and England to occur within a month,
there would be at least a hundred and fifty
large steamships of war off our eoast, and, in
another month, we should have the whole Brit
ish Navy on our hands. The ships we have
now at sea could never get back, the ships in
our ports never could get out; for, setting aside
the fact owing to the defenceless condition of
our harbors, an enemy’s fleet could steam into
every port on the Atlantic and the Pacific, a - d
destroy our navy-yards and all their armaments,
we could not put to sea as in the late war, lie
cause <njr sail vessels have steam vessels to wain
and overtake them, which was not the case to
our last contest with Great Britain, Moreover,
an active and powerful enemy, once getting
pcssession of our coast defences and naval sta
tions, it would boa difficult and tedious matter
to dilodge them.
This is a gloomy picture, but it is made up
of facts and figures, and not of imagination.—
It shows the penny-wise, pound-foolish policy of
refusing to establish a Navy commensurate in
magnitude with the commercial interests, to
say nothing of the honor and safety of the
country. Even now. with the public mind
agitated by the apprehensions of war with such
a naval power as that of Great Britain, a
proposition to build a dozen steam-sloops of
war is regarded as a very formidabledemoustra
tion! Whether we arc to have a war now or
not, our only permanent safety is to found in
a large increase of our naval force. A single
year of war. tn our present condition, would
cost us more than it would require to establish
an udeqate Navy, und keep it in commission
for a quarter of a century. On the whole, if
we can possibly avoid a collision with Great
Britain at this time, wc wcnld better do it by
all pteans, and then go to work and put our
selves in a condition in which our weakness will
no longer provoke insult and aggression fpnn
foreign countries. If, however, war is now
forced upon us us, we must make up onr mind
to suffer disasters and losses for one or two
years, c nmpared with which those of Russia
during the present contest in the East are mere
trifles, and to devote the whole resources of the
nation for ten,twenty or fifty years, if neees
ary. to redeem our honor and avenge onr
wrongs.— H ichmond Dispatch.
The .Missing Steamer.
For the purpose of indicating how loosely
anil hastily conclusions are sometimes drawn,
we refer to a statement which appears in part
of yesterday's ucwh by the British mail steamer
Arabia, and the c-'uiim nl thereupon bv the re
porter, r.s follows :
"The steamship Edinburgh, previously re
ported to have arrival at Glasgow from New
York, possal on 7th of February a quantity of
ice, aud saw upon it some broken cabin lu’nii
i tare with while handies, and a lady's work box.
I It is suggested that this might have belonged
I to the Pacific ; but ns the Pacific had uo cabin
] or other furniture with white handles, the agent
> in this city is confident that the portions of the
, wreck here nlludal t<> never lie'oitged to that
• vessel.— Hep.
Now, can any language be more agonizing
iu its uncertainty aud vagueness to any one
| who may have friends upon the missing, than
, that above used. We are not told at what
■ distance these objects were seen, whether near
I at hand and distinctly visible to the naked eye,
] or at such an interval il,at th : .- tek-scope was re
i quirexl.
j Through the telescope, an object even as
] small as a lady's workbox might be distiuguish
i ed so as to convey some certainty of what it
I was. although the beholder could not fix the
character of the material: for. whether it was
of wood, metal, or papier mache. So, then,
with the bandies spoken of—articles smaller
again than the workbox : they might have been
seen, and hare app»red white, in the distance,
without really being of any such color. You
might distinguish their form, outline and eenc
ral appearance, and yet not be able to tell posi
] lively whether their whiteness was in the niate
' rial of which they were composed, or was occa
i sioaed by a evatiug of ice or saqw! To prove
] that this whole statement is founded upon mere
j gues-ing. we have only to remark the vagueness
jof the term ' furniture.’' We a e not told
whether it was a table or p c'>est of drawers.—
j If this furniture had been used as a float, or
i buoy, by some passenger endeavoring to escape.
what i> moie likely than hat he may Lave
i lashed himself to it. or have tied on the first
handkerchief, tow I. ot pieao liaes. within
reach to serve him for a hold ? And what
better or more convenient par: for any such tr
ing could he have found than these proj.cting
handles ? Thea pieces cr fragments of the lin
ea left clinging around the handles would mak"
them appear white, even without their satura- j
tiou with water, subsequently congealing. :
If it was at all necessary to go solar, in order
to rebuke this intelligent style of news-tnonger
iug, we might even doubt the certainty of the
officer's vision who reports this circumstance,
and less this idea should be too indignantly re
jected, we would remind our readers that it is
precisely at sea and on railroads that the most
startling cases of phenomenon termed “ color
blindness ” have been discovered, and to such
extent, too, that it is proposed in Great Bri
tain to abandon the use of colors as signals,
and substitute forms, such as squares, triangles,
&c., er other images borrowed from nature.—
It has been proven, beyond a peradventure, that
many frightful accidents on the rail and at sea
were the result of this strange infirmity, in pre
cisely the men who had been especially selected
as captains, pilots, engineers, and conductors.—
The latter were in many cases, unconscious of
their own defect , and in others, with full knowl
edge, studiously endeavored to conceal it. for
fear of losing their places.
While, then, we have nothing in the above
to show that the fragments seen did belong
to the Pacific, there is likewise not a little of
evidence that they did not. Yet it is upon con
jecture like this that certain people go, with a
hop, step and a jump, to a final conclusion, drop
the subject, and so let slip the clue by which
the fate of a noble ship and hundreds of human
beings might be traced.
A further despatch, which will be found un
der the head of the Arabia’s news, is a little
more complete and sensible, and brings us near
er to an assurance of calamity : but still it fails
in the higher requisites of intelligence, and the
public mind is only left a prey to keener anguish
than before.
Now, an observation of the particular up
pearance, certain marks, ornamental work. Are.
on the door and furniture seen would have af
forded the most valuable and perhaps decisive
information. However, the opportunity is gone
and may never recur, so far as the Pacific is
concerned. She may have passed away from
all human investigation forever, and we cannot
deplore the indifference with which this chance
has been slighted. The look-outs on the Edin
burgh, if they have done no better than this,
would make but very poor reporters or detect
ive policemen, wc greatly fear.
Howexer, we have net relinquished hope for
the gallant vessel. She may be snug enough in
some port of the 'Western Islands, awaiting the
completion of temporary repairs to make her
way home: or the sailing vessel Jtliat bears us
news of her thence, may, even now, be tossing
on the billows near our coast.
Be that as it will, how eloquent is the mute
language of those scattered fragments seen upon
the ice ! “Ornamental cabin doors.” torn from
the luxurious interior of some noble ship, and
alter buoying up some poor wretch to the ice,
remaining there, the last silent witness of his
despair I “A lady's work box”—belonging to
some wife, some sister, some beloved child—the
gift of parental or conjugal love, perhaps, or
the last souvenier of friendship !-now c ontain
ing it may be, if it still floats on that lonely
ice flake, in the wide ocean, the ring, the min
iature, or the owner—the last that remains of
her, if even that remain, above the grave 1
But the raveing sea has. long ere this, en
gulfed these last testimonies of human agony,
how solitary or how multiplied we know not,
and while we deplore the necessity, if such it
was, that prevented their recovery or mdenti
fication, we can but murmur our sad prayer
for the lost and unreturning, and our heart
felt sympathies for the friends who mourn them

The Kansas Question: Stand by
the Constitution and the. Laws.
It the telegraph reports arc right, the party
convention that met first at Big Springs, in
Kansas, has at length, at Topeka, emerged into
a full grown government. The new State of
authorities, the report reads, were inaugurated
on the 4th inst. Now Kansas has a governor,
a legislature, and judicial authorities existing in
pursuance of a law of congress ; recognized by
the President of the United States; and there
fore, a government which all judicial tribunals,
all persons in authority, all good citizens are
bound to recognize. Now, in Kansas, is also
auotlwr set ot men claiming executive, legisla
tive and judicial authority ; which it. is claimed
out ot Kansas should be recognized by “ every
friend of freedom;” and fanatic laymen and
clergymen, are urging the duty and the necessity
of sending to this new organization, in order to
sustain their cause, men, money, ammunition,
and Sharp’s rifles. And u portion of the press
is urging men on to the parricidal work in
which the agents of this-new government have
embarked.
Let us again characterize this work of these
fanatics; of the men and the presses engaged in
stimulating them on. As there appears to Ixt,
in quarters where we should least expect it, a
strange laek of discrimination us to vital and
fiwdamental points, let us remark, first, in the
words ot t'hiel Justice Taney’s elaborate opin
ion in the case <>t Lntber vs. Borden :—“ No
one has ever doubtal the proposition that, ac
cording to the institutions of this country, the
sovereignty in every State resides in the people
ot the State, and that they may alter and change
their form of government at their own pleasure.”
This is is not the question here. Kansas is not
a State sovereignty ; and if Kansas were a State,
and had come into the Union, and had assumed
obligations of the constitution, it had assumed |
the duty of doing its part to protect its sister
States from domestic violence; for tlie constitu
tion guaranties to each State protection from
1 a domestic violence; congress has made ample
1 provision for the full exercise of this guaranty;
the I’resid‘ nt must of necessity be the judge of
the mode of executing the laws; and when the
I’resident annoimces his decision all are bound
!to follow his example. This garantv is simply
; n mode of arresting anarchy, mob law; that
I horror of horrors, civil war.
But. it should be borne in mind that the Kan
sas case is not the case of a sovereign State, but
of a depenilent territory. Let us state things
again precisely. At tlie Big Springs conven
tion the Robinson party openly avowed, in
their resolutions, that their direct purpose was
j to resist by force the territorial laws ; to set
: aside the existing authority; to set up at every
hazard a new government;’ to do this, if need be,
by force. In a word, the object of the new
government is to supercede by force a govern
ment established by the United States. And
these men in Kansas choose to characterize the
duty which devolves on the President of execu
ting the laws, of maintaining the authority of
| congress, as a war on the free State men ;’ and
those fanatic laymen and clergymen who are
putting forth homilies on the virtues of Sharp's
rifles, are deluding the people with the idea that
to put down these Topeka insurrectionists is to
war upon freedom!
Wc entreat all good citizens and true patri
ots to re-examine this question. No sophistry
can cover up the fact that this new govern
ment, if it proceeds to exercise authority, will
be bald insurrection, overt treason. have
cited the opinions of Chief Justiff- •> shall
and Chief Justice Taney bearing on t*v - u t
Language could not be mure decided. We \ "
cite a collation of other opinions in Serge,. X
Constitutional Law. This learnal jurist says—
“An insurrection, the object of which 'is to
suppress an office of exercise established under
a law of the United Stales, aud to compel the
resignation of the excise officer, and marching
with a party to the house of such officer in
arms, niarshailed and arrayed, and committing
acts of violence and outrage there, with a view
to render void an act ort’ongress, or to prevent
its execution, by force or intimidation, is a
levying of war against the United States. So
if u body of people conspire and meditate an
insurrection to resist or oppose the execution i
of astatute of the United States by fora-, they I
are only guilty of a high misdemeanor; but, if
they proceed to carry such inteu i into *>xe- I
cut ion by force, they are guilty of •■■ tr
ot levying war, and the quentum of e forex j
employed neither increases nor dimii.'s es the
crime; whether it be one hundred or one I u
sand persons is immaterial. And any com oi
nation, to subvert by force, the government of
the LTuital States, violently to dismember the
Union, to compel a change in the administration,
to coerce the repeal or addoption of a general
law, or to revolutionize a territorial govern
ment by force, although this be merely n step
to, or a means of executing some greater pro
jects, is a conspiracy to leavy v.ar, and if the
conspiracy be carried into effect by tlie em
bodying and assembling of men in force, and
in a military posture, for the purp e ofexe
uting the design, it is treason by levyi war.”
There is uo avoiding the conclusion 1 t, ac,
cording to the constitution and the lawsat. the
decisions of the supreme court, those in K -
sas who are engaged in resisting the laws a,
engaged in the work of insurrection ; and their
aiders and abettors, whoever they niay be, are
involved in their guilt, They shonld 'be held
up, in every community, as ineiters to treason
against the constituted authorities of the Uni
ted States.
Our articles taking this fundamental view
of this question, have been very widely circu
lated. Among the presses that have copied
some of tlem, is that influential rieligiousjourn
al, the New ork Observer. It aceompained
one ot these articles—embodying the opinions
of Chief Justice Taney and Marshall—with an
elaborate editorial. This commencesas follows:
"On the first page of this paper we have
placed an article from the Boston Post on the
Kansas Question. It brings to view certain
! facts, and enforce) some arguments that cannot
• fail to have great weight with all candid minds,
| and we would almost indulge the hope that the
' minds of heated partizans would be arrested
• for a moment by the truths and principles there
i laid down.” *
i In wh Iwe have written we have left out
lof view entirely, as having uo legitimate bear
i ing. the question of local evils; and those who
i choose to represent us as defending illegal e-
I lection-’, or disgraa ful legislation, basely inis-
I represent our position, and know they ’do it.
1 lhe idea that the friends of the Nebraska
I bill v.0u1.l justify illegality under it is absurd.
I \Ve have portrayed accurately the rebellious
, course o! the fanatics ; we have portrayed the
I character of those who are engaged in the parrici
! dal course of sending Sharp’s rifles to C Robins, >o,
j we have directed attention to the presses that
i have countenanced or defended tlie rebellious
I course of the free State men in Kansas. This is
what we have written. I f sound princip'es of con
stitutional law prevail—the principles that thus
far have carried our country onward and up-
gloriously—“very soon." we agree with
the New York Observer, “the politicans and
preachers who are now counselling rebellion and
sending rifles to aid it, will be regarded as
seditious or deluded inen.”

The Kansas Contested Election.
We have before us the majority and minor
ity reports, to the House of Representatives,
with accompanying documents, on the Kansas
contested election. They are too long to lie
inserted in full in our columns ; they bring to
light, indeal, no new facts, and are principally
valuable as connected and detailed arguments
on the question discussed. We shall, therefore,
content ourselves with a statement of the prin
cipal facts of the case, from which our readers
may see how small is the capital upon which
the contestant and his party are operating.
1. Mr. Whitfield holds his seat as Delegate
from Kansas by virtue of a certificate of elec
tion duly made and signed by the Governor of
the Territory, and the oath of office administered
t» him as such. Prima facie, then, he is the
rightful Delegate.
2. Ex Governor Reeder contests the seat,
not claiming to have been elected at any elec
tion authorized by law—he was noteven a can
didate. His claim rests solely upon pretended
votes, cast for him at illegal gatherings of the
people, acting in open hostility to the regularly
constituted authorities of the Territory, under
their organic law. Nor does he even present
any certificate or evidence of his having been
chosen Delegate by these revolutionary assem
blages ; clearly, then, whatever may be Whit
field’s claim, Reeder has none, whatever.
In view of these facts, the friends of Whit
field very justly contend, that as it stands, this
is an “ improper contest.” and should not be
entertained by the House.
4. Reeder’s friends, however, go on to allege
that the law under whi- ’ Whitfield wus elect
ed, and certifiai by i Governor as the du.y
chospn delegate f Kansas, was invalid und
void, because s they affirm, the Legislature
that passed it were not properly elected them
■lid not legislate at a projier place.n
eld replies that this raises a questio
the House has no jurisdiction, Un
stitution it is made the sole judge
cation and election return of its
rs. So in the several State and
T 1 Legislatures, each houso is the sole
and “ nte judge on these matters in their
resjS'r organizations. As to the luw under
w ■ , i oriwas elected, it was passed by the Le
g " t re in pursuance of an act of Congress,
mil ;vs upon its face the verity, and has the
sa a• > notion of the regularly-constituted au
tli tti .as the public laws of any of the Stales
o> > y I' the other Territories.
. I'; • Mr. Whitfield denies that the Legisla
ture', by virtue of whose enactment he holds his
seat, was improperly elected. The election of
the 30th of March for members of the legisla
ture of Kansas was held in pursuance of Reed
er’s own proclamation, as the duly authorized
and acting Governor of the Territory. The
election districts were laid out, the superinten
dents appointed by himself. Besides for months
afterwards, Gov. Reeder recognized the legisla
ture so elected as the regularly constituted le
gislative authority of the Territory—several
times in the most formal and solemn manner.—
How then, can he now, with any degree of
truth and consistency, assert the contrary ?
7. Mr. Whitfield also denies that the le
gislature of Kansas “did not Legislate at a
proper place.” It is true Gov. Reeder did veto
the act moving the I egislature from Pawnee
City to Shawnee M’ -ion- and reasons connect
ed with his laud ‘ ulations could be assigned
for his veto—' n otl Houses, however, passed
the bi 1 w't't j) .■ i r an a two-third vote ; and
it was accord gh carried over the veto.
8. Again, Ke.der alleges that several huu
u.sd illegal votes were cast, for the sitting Dele
g. to at tlie election.
9. It is contended, in reply, that, granting
tnis to ba so, it does not make a ease sufficient
to displace the sitting member, unless it also be
shown that Reeder, or some other person at the
same election, received more legal votes than he
did. This the minority consider a well settled
principle by repeated decisions in the House.—
If the pel’ l , for instance, in this case,showed,as
it is s: , twenty-nine hundred votes for the sit
ting ■ negate, and it be true, as asserted, that
»"• al hundred, or even twenty eight hundred,
•' them were illegal, yet he would still have one
i Hundred legal votes to go upon, and to hold
I his seat upon, unless it be shown that someoth
| er person received more than one hundred equal-
I ly legal votes.
These, so far as we can see from a careful
aniination of the documents, are the essential
p i in the Kansas election case. Tlie Re
pul licaiis have of couree a majority in the
House, and can decree, if they please, that black
is white, or red is yellow; but how, with any
appearance of decency, they can give Whitfield’s
seat to Reeder, surpasses our comprehension.
A Case in Austria.—The following from
the “correspondence of the New York Herald,’’
purports to have been written in Berlin, ojj the
1 9th of February ;
A very serious misunderstanding has for a
long timecxistal between the American Ministe
at Yiennaand the Austrian government, in re
ference to the arrest and imprisonment of an
American citizen named Spear, who, after sev
en months confinement, during which he wqs
not permitted to pommunicqte, in any way with
even his minister or consul, was tried on 31st
of March, 1854, by a secret and unknown tri
bunal, convicted of treason, and sentenced to
ten years labor in irons in tlje trenches Rt
Theresienstadt, in Bohemia. Mr. Jackson, two
weeks ago yesterday, demanded a properly cer.
tiffed copy of the testimony suid to have been
used in the conviction of Spear, and informed
Count Buol in his note that unless he received
an affirmative answer within four weeks, he
should, at tne expiration of that time, withdraw
from a court where he could no longer remain
with honor to his country or advantage to its
citizens, As there is no probability that the
desired answer will be forthcoming or that any
testimony really existed against the man. Mr.
Jackson may be expected to leave Vienna
shortly after you receive this. I will send you
a detailal account of the whole case by the
next mail. I devoted more tl an a week in
Vienna to a thorough Investigation of all the
facts and correspondence connected with it,
and have no hesitation in saying that if it does
not furnish the most abundant and unmistaka
ble material for prompt and decidal action on
the part of our governmrnt, the State Depart
ment ought, in common justice, to have a few
lines printed on the back of his passports, noti
fy the Ijearers that on departing from theU. 8.
they necessarily leave their nationality liehind.
The fact is. the whole of the German Powers
have liecome bloated with insolent self-conse
quence from the unmerited consideration which
their position of treachrous neutrality has ob
tained for them during this war. The Presi
dent's message—though to my mini a noble
document—is generally regarded by European
statesine it and diplomatists as entirely Pick
wickian in its declarations. So ranch’ for the
non-fulfilment of the inaugural. I trnst. how

Black KepublicauiMn Counsel
ling. InsurrectioiraiKl’-Treason.
The’ following extracts from an elaborate ar
ticle in the chief organ of black republicanism,
the New York Tribune, will be useful in ena
bling lovers of law and order and friends of the
Union to understand the treasonable purposes
and counsels which control those who are seek
ing to supercede the constituted authorities in
Kansas by revolutionary means. The first ex
tract contains an admission that ever since the
passage of the Nebraska bill the black republi
cans have been pouring free settlers into Kan
sas, with Sharpe’s rifles. Let it be remembered
that it is upon this fact, now for the first time
authoritatively admitted, that the counteracting
interference of the border Missourians has been
palliated. 8o soon as the Nebraska bill passed
the abolitionists declared their purpose to cen
tre I the future domestic policy of Kansas by
pouring into the Territory tree settlers well
armed with Sharpe’s rifles. The threat was
immediately put into execution. This was the
origin of the troubles in Kansas. But read the
proof Tribune:
“ The people of Kansas, and the friends of
freedom for Kansas, must continue to do what they
have ban doing ever since the passage of the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill. Conforming to the principle
of squatter sovereignty, on which that bill as
sumes to found itself, they must pour free seltlrrs
into Kansas, well armed with Sharpe’s rifles, nr
other convenient weapons, wherewith to defend
themselves against the border ruffians who may
attempt to cut their throats, insult their wives,
maltreat their children burn their house-, and'
drive them out of the Territory.”
Passing over several paragraphs of impotent
v.tuperation heaped upon the friends of the
great principle of the Nebraska bill, we next
make an extract showing the recklessness of the
desperation with which the head traitors are
seeking te bring on a conflict of arms in Kan
sas. If we are not deceived in the devotion of
the masses everywhere to the maintenance of
the laws, the violence which eharacterizes such
appeals as the following will produce a revul
sion in the popular mind which will submerge
black republicanism under a loud of odium from
which it will never escape:
“ There is but one path before us, and that is
a straight one. We have but to go straight
ahead ; we have but to keep on doing what we
have done; we have but to maintain the a.lvan
vantage we have gained.
“ Navigation is opened. The rivers are high;
now is the time Pour into Kansas, brave men
and true, with your rifles in your hands, and
range yourselves by the side of the brave men
there already, who, during the past winter, han
done and suffered so much to maintain theii
rights and yours, the great right and cause of
| all the North—freedom for Kansas.”
The next extract presents the inducements
held out to young men at the North to pour
into Kansas; first, those who desire “glory,”
and, next, those who want the “quarter section
of land,” are appealed to 1 The “glory” of
committing treason in an armed resistance of
the laws! “Tour quarter section of land.” If
such madness as this does not indicate the ear
ly overthrow of black republicanism, wo are
wholly mistaken in the patriotic and law-loving
sentiments of the young men not only of the
North, but of the whole country. But read :
“Young men full of ardor, enthusism, and
thirst for action and glory, now is your time!
This is no fillibusteriug expedition, of which
the object is to rob others. You go only to
claim your own—your own, guaranteed to you
by the very provisions of the Kansas act itself
—your quarter section of land and your rights
as a sovereign squatter. But you go not for
yourselves alone; you go for us all ; not merely
to claim your own land, and to claim your in
dividual rights, but as the representatives of
frealom and the free States, tore-establish over
Kansas the Missouri prohibition, and to save
the Northern States from being first dehidal
and cheated at Washington into accepting the
squatter sovereignty principle in exchange for
the Missouri prohibition, and, upon going to
Kansas to exercise this squatter sovereignty,
being kicked out of the house by the border
ruffiians.”
Following this appeal to the ardent love of
“glory” and of the quarter section of land” of
the young men is a tame invocation to the pock
ets of the old men, as follows:
“As there will be no want of yountr men and
true, with bold hearts aud strong arms, to go
upon this enterprise, so wc trust there will lie
no want of money, which is at once the sinew
of war. and the stimulus of peaceful occupations.
Those of us who are too old to go, or are de
tained here by indissoluble ties or other duties,
can freely contribute not only to the general
funds of the various emigrant aid societies, but
to the private outfit of worthy men qualified to
make good citizens in Kansas.
This treasonable appeal is then enforced as
follows:
“Above all, let there be no lack of arms, and
those of the most efficient sort. Plenty of arms
and plenty of men to use them arc the only
guarantee against the massacre and expulsion,
before the summer is over, of the free-State
men now in Kansas. Nothing but their Sharpe’s
riflqp and their courage prevented the massacre
and expulsion of the Jiawreace men lust win
ter."
Against all this passionate invocation of mor
al treason we rely upon the love of order and
the devotion to the laws of the land which an
imate oqr people. We need not say that this
eternal iteration and reiteration of Sharp’s ri
fles has no terrors for the men who are the ob
jects of attack. The majesty of the law will
be maiutainal by the federal government—
peaceably, if possible—forcibly, if it must be ;
and if force must be resorted to, then let the
law determine whether treason is to go unpun
ished.
The Governorship of Wisconsin.
Madison, Wis., March 8.
Governor Barstow has sent a message to the
legislature denying the jurisdiction of the Su
preme Court in the matter of the Governorship,
and avowing his determination to resist any in
terference with his rights. A Democratic
meeting had, also, been held, at which it was
resolved to support Gov. Barstow.
Wc have already stated the facts pertaining
to this case. A return notoriously fraudulent
was made from one of the counties to the office
of the Secretary of State, and counting it with
the legal returns (which we presume the Secre
tary was compelled to do,) Barstow had a
small majority in the entire State; he was thus
declared re-electal. But Bashford applied to
the Supreme Court for redress, and that tribu
nal has rendered a decision in his favor. Bars
tow has taken the oath for a new term, and is
still the acting Governor. We believe that one
House of the Legislature sides with Barstow
and the other with Bashford ; one has reported
the return by which Barstow was declured to
be re-elected fraudulent and void, aud we are
not informed that the majority of the other
House deny the correctness of this re; ort. The
ca»e presents some novel features, involving the
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in the mat
ter, the duty of the Secretary of State in refer
ence to returns evidently false, and the remedy
after a Governor has been officially declared
elected and sworn into office upon a fraudulent
return of votes.— Col. Sun.

Vattei, os Recruiting.—Vattcl, the most
generally accepted authority on international
law,says: "Whoever undertakes toenlist soldiers
in a foreign country, without the sovereign’s
permission, and in genera), whoever entices away
the subjects of another State, violates one of the
most sacred rights of the prince and the nation.
The erime is distinguished by the name of kid
napping, or man stealing, and is punishable with
the utmost severity in every well regulated
State. Foreign recruiters are hanged without
mercy, and with great justice. It is not pre
sumed that their sovereign has ordered them to
commit a crime; and supposing even that they
had received such an order, they ought not to
have obeyed it, their sovereign having no right
to command what is contrary to the law of na
ture. * ‘ But if it appears that they
acted by order, such a proceeding in a foreign
sovereign is justly considered as a sufficient
cause for declaring war against him, unless he
makes suitable reparation.—( Vattet) Drrnt des
