GOV. WA I K I K— KA NS \S.
The Black Republican presses of die coun
try have persisted in making war on Gov.
Walker,-ever since his appoin'mont 1o that
bed of roses, lire Governorship of Kansas.
They have continuously ami systematically
perverted his acts misconstrued his motives
and objected to his course. But in spite of
all their vituperation he has pursued a
straight forward course, and one which,
with the lights now hclbre us, we think will
be heartily endorsed by the wliolo demo j
-craltc party, and by tlio respects Mo portion, j
if that can be found, of the opposition press.
Threatened as ho has been, on all sides.— I
incurring the hatred of the slave -tato party j
an tho territory: and of the freo state fanatics )
in tlio north and east: he has tints tar shown
the true Pennsylvania gril; being .i son ol J
>ur own noble tSnile; and has succeeded in |
giving u Iree and unlrnmeled expression to I
tho will of the voters in tho Territory.
'J'lie result has been the success of the I
Free Slate party —such a result as we always
contended would come about under demo
cratic rule—and the very result the Repub
licans have parsistuntly endeavored, by
their action and course, to detent. Oil this
point we copy from the Now Vork Times,
a loud shrickor for freedom, and a dismal
nailer over Bleeding Kansas.
The active free Stale partisans of Kansas, j
mid their representatives here, have waged 1
a warfare, personal as well as political, ol j
intense bitterness, upon Gov. Walker, from I
lliu date of Ins appointment to the present I |
hour. They have condemned every thing j ,
he has done, whether light or wrong, with- ' |
out discrimination—ami not content with '
litis, they have impmnicil his motives ami ;
ussai'cd his personal character, with the I .
grosses! nui! must unjustifiable viu'oncc

'in is rvtw stay law,
The most material change that has teen
introduced in the law as it stood'prior to the
13th of October, 1867, consists in the foots
that one year is allowed as a rtay of execu
tion on all judgments, without regard to
amounts, where the debtor is able to comply
with the usual conditions ; whereas, hitherto,
the lime of the eluy has been graduated ac
cording to the amount of the debt. On judg
ments herealier obtained, the stay is to be
computed from the first day of ihe term to
which suit is brought. A juJgmetit debtor
could always plead his trochoid, but'.hat free
hold consisted of unincumbered teal estate.
Now he is allowed to plead his freehold, if
hts estate be worth Ihe debt over and above
existing incumbrances. In this respect the
law has been modified. Hitherto, on juda
ments befnro ulJermen, three, six, or nine
months stay has been allowed and in court,
six, nine, or twelve months, according to the
nnioniit of ihe judgment, and the stny was j
obtained either py pleading n freehold worth |
the amount of the judgment, and free from
incumbrances, or by entering the security of
s responsible person. Now, the lime is
made uniform, that is, one year, without re
gard to the sunt recovered. But still ihero
must bo security. There is no such a thing
ns a stay without senility, and this egregious
ignorance of ihe law should he nt once cor- ;
reeled. There are also qualifications and ex- J
cepthms in iho act of 13ih of Oelober, 1857, j
which go far to deprive a defendant of the ,
benefit seemingly held out to him. If he j
has hud his slay,- or il he has waived it he |
cannot demand the new stay. Indeed this
provision of the recent act, like many others [
to be found in it, promises to he a relief on'y |
in name—an equity shadow mid n feeble
hope. 11 will not prevent the bringing of a -
single suit, and we venture to express the j
opinio! that there is no one case in ten, per- !
haps not one m fifty, in which the debtor [
eon comply with its requirements, in order j
to avail himselt of its so called benefits.— |

Another Fug, Hive Slave Cost In Jioston.—
Boston is the gieat place for fugitive slave
excitement ever since Burns cost the city
some thousands of dollais to rest ire him to
Ins master. A Mr. Sweet ol Nashville, vis
iting his Isllier, in that neighborhood, fast
week, had a female servant with linn who
was persuaded to run oil. The girl, probably
tooling that h< r situation was better where
-I e was, refused to do so. A writ ol habeas
corpus was applied for, and the master and
servant had to appear in Court, which was
crowded to hear the investigation, .fudge
Shaw, to remove the woman from all fear or
intimidation, took her into a priva'e office,
and oil re-enteiing the Court, lie said lie had
had a lull and particular conversation with
her, and that he was convinced that she un
derstood hot condition and her tights, and
was in no way laboring under restraint or
any feeling ol fear. She had told him that
she was strongly attached to Mr and Mis.
Sweet, that she hail lived with them from
Iter infancy, that she has a husband and clnl
dren t home in Tennessee, and thai her
.- tonu wish was to go back with them, lie
aecotiliiwly no ordam.l it. much lo ibo regret

IV The Philadelphia Hanks sometime
ago issued a circular to the country banks,
asking them to make arrangements to keep
their notes at par in the city, or in othet
w onls asking the country bunks lor a loan in
the shape of deposits. The following is the
response so tar as the Hanks m this section
of country are concerned, by which we arc
glad to see that they will not submit to the
imposition. The country banks must pro
tect their own customers at home, and can
not in justice to them keep a large portion
ot their tends locked up m Philadelphia for
the mere sake ot having their notes quoted
at par. This may do in specie-paying times,
but will not do so now. and was not contem
plated to be done by the late relief law It

Mumhimi, SUBSCHIERION. — At
the late Hoard of County Commissioners
assessed a tax of eight mills on the dollar,
tour mills of which, it was alleged, was lor
tho purpose of paying interest on railroad
bonds. The Post says, duplicates wore ac
cordingly issued, and the collectors required
to gito bonds for their collection. On the
organization of tho new Hoard of Commis
sioners, since the election, a resolution was
adopted by it lequesting tho Collectors to
refund four mills on-the dollar, of all tho
taxes they had already collected, and autho
rizing them in future only to collect halt tho
amount of the duplicates. Tho collectors
having given the required bonds for tho
whole amount, and the Treasurer having
notified iliem that he would require them to
pay it by the STth of December next, a largo
number of the Collectors met at the Court
House on Wednesday, to consult together
in regard to their duty in tho present enter
geney. The adviee of eminent legal authori
ty was. that the eolleetors demand an exon
eration on each ol their bonds and dupli
cates, of one half of the County tax, and that
they be credited on the books'of the Trea
surer with said amount, and that should tho
treasurer or commissioners refuse to do so,
tltoit the collectors shall go on and collect
the full amount, according to their original
wturants, until an injunction be issued.

I'IUYKHS vea TUB TIMKS —The following
now prayers have been directed to bo otter
ed up in tho Kpiscopal Churches in this
Oiooose. by bishop Potter, and continued
during the present disastrous condition of
' business allaits:
! •Oh most mighty God I King of kings am!
Lou! of lonla. without whoso care the watch
man wuhoth Vmt in vain, wo implore, in this
onv titno ot need, thy succor ami blessing in
behalf of our rulers and magistrates, and of
a I the people of this land. Kemember not
our main and great transgressions; turn
from us the judgments which we fool to
fear; and give s wisdom to discern, and
eourage to attempt, and faithfulness to do,
and patience to endure whatsoever shall be
well-pleasing in thy sight, that so thy chant
ings may \ told the peaceable fruits of right
eousness. and that at last we may rejoice in
I thy salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen."
' O Lord, we beseech thee, mercifully
hear our prayers, and spare all these who
confess their sins unto thee; that thev whoso
consciences by sin are accused, by thy nior-
I eiful pardon may be absolved, through
Christ Our Lord. Amen."
Tmc TRMI.S OF LIFK —Life is entirely made
up ol great evils or heavy trials, but the per
petual recurrence of petty evils and small
trials in the ordinary and appointed exercise
of the Christian graces. To boar with tho
failings of those about ns—with their intirmi
; tics, their bad judgment, their ill-breeding,
. their perverse tempers—to endure neglect
when (vefeel deserved attention, and ingrat
! itude when we expected thanks—to bear
with the company of disagreeable people
I whom Providence has perhaps provided or
: purposed for the trial ot our virtue—theso
are the best exercises of patience and self
denial. and the better because not chosen by
ourselves. To bear with vexation in busi
ness, with disappointment in our especta
-1 tions. with interruptions of our retirement,
with folly, intrusion, disturbance—in short
whatever "opposes our will—contradicts our
humor—this habitual acquiescence appears
to be more of the essence of self-denial than
any little rigors or inflictions of our own im
posing These constant inevitable but infe
rior evil*, properly improved, furnish a good
moral discipline, and might, in the days of
ignorance, have superseded pilgrimage and
i penance.
''When a fe'.'ow is 100 lazy to work," says
