THE KANSAS DIFFICULTY.
We publish in this morning's Post a bill to
be introduced by Hon. Wm. Montgomery, o
Pennsylvania, as a basis of the settlement of
tlie.Katialis question. The bill contains several
new fesitures, and is of such a character as,
if adopted, would at once satisfactorily settle
thii king discussed and difficult question. It
admits Kansas to the Federal clUnion, and at
the same time, fully and fairly provides that
,the citizens of the new State shall at once
have the power to make such alterations and
amendments in its constitution, as the ma-
jority of the people shall approve. This is
certainly fair and just, and Democratic. Un
.der such a bill as this the people of Kan-
sas can decide upon their own domestic insti
tutions* without interference, either directly or
indirectly, either by agitation or by law. By
•
its enactment the people of Kane .s would he
maintained in all their federal rights, and they
would , be let alone in all their State rights.
Independent of all constitutional inhibition,
all history, and the laws of naturi, and of na.
dons, abound with proofs, that one peoplu or
one State have no right to interfere with the
political, social or religious institutions an(
habits or prejudices of another, and Mr
Montgomery's bill appears to us to secure mos
fully, and unreservedly to the people of Kan
sas, the exercise of their rights as a State.
The bill of which we speak is perhaps in
some sense a compromise, but it is such a
compromise as every true and patriotic lover
of his country can conscientiously agree to.
It takes.away no right ; it commits no
wrong. Where it is contended that wrong
has been already committed, this bill is de
signed directly and •fair to make that wrong
`fight.
:' The President recommends that the people
of Kansas may be empowered to alter or amend
fhe constitution of the State, at any time
after admission ; against th's, the opponents of
the Lecompton constitution conttud that the
pro-slavery men way, through Calhoun, se.
cure the Legislature and State officers who
!refuse to cell a convention, and thus bailie the
will of the people for .an indefinite period.
This bill makes it obligatory to call an extra
session within twenty days, and thus disposes
Of an'anticipated difficulty, and secures to the
people their great right of deciding for them
selves upon their own institutions.
'. Mr. Montgomery who proposes this bill, is
a strong man. He is new in the political
arena of Washington City, and in the clas
sification made by the enemies of the adminis
fration—not its friends—has been set down
as a Pennsylvania Democrat opposed to the
policy of - the- President. The introduction of
this bill shows that, far from being opposed to
Mr. Buchanan, be is his warm and ardent
friend, kilffi desires that his recommendation
that Kansas may be enabled to alter or amend
her constitution at will, should be fixed be
yond a peradventure. In comma' with every
Democrat he desires that. this Kansas question,
which has so long and so uselessly agitated the
country, should be settled, and settled upon a
democratic basis. All the questions which
have arisen from time to time out of slavery
issues,have been happily put an end to by fair
and manly compromise. Faction and fanat.
icism have always endeavored in this matter
to' shake the Union to its centre, but it has al
ways been the proud boast of the Democratic
party to guard the rights of the citizens,
Which were guaranteed by that constitution
which was framed in the purer days of the
republic, when men who had fought shoulder
to shoulder trusted each other, and imposed
no unwholesome restrictions in legislative
acts for the general welfare.
The Administrati-n will find that this young
giant from the West, Al r. Montgomery, is a
thorpugh and most intelligent advocate of the
groat , principles of Democracy. The meas
ures which he proposes and adv cates, are not
proposed nor advocated with a view to his own
personal aggrandizement. His pure desire for
the pubic weal has never been tainted by the
" wild hunt after office." The sincerity of
his devotion to the great principles of his
party, and his high personal admiration and
esteem for the President elected by that party
and upon those principles, cannot for one mo
ment he doubted, and we hope that the meas
ure which he has proposed may be adopted
by the administration as a basis upon which
this vexed question of Kansas may be fairly
and honorably and honestly settled. such
a settlement the whole country is wishing
and waiting for, and the measure now pro
posed is no hasty and ill digested political
manceuvre, but is based on principles around
which the whole party, may rally as a un't,
preserving the integrity of those great national
doctrines, for which the Democracy has ever
contended, and putting a quietus upon the
clamor which its opponents, unable to main
tain an organization themselves, have endeav
ored to raise among the dts}uncla membra of
Black Republicanism, Americanism, and sec
tionalism generally, designing at all hazard
to make an impression of some sort—they
cared not what—upon the solid Democratic
phalanx of the country.

DI olittuttned Pasha
The long expected Turkish Rear Admiral has
arrived in New York, and has been duly
received at the St. Nicholas Hotel by the
Common Council. The Herald gives the fol
lowing dauger.seotype of this distinguished
visitor
He Is a man of about five feet ten inches in
height, rather stoutly made, with broad shoul
ders and an intelligent countenance. He has a
smooth pleasing face, peculiarly oriental, large
dark eyes and round visage. His cheeks have
a tendency to t edness and his face is plump. His
nose is long and somewhat of the'Roman form
Ills mouth small and lips thin. On his upper
lip is a moustache, which appears to have been
trimmed with much care. His forehead is high,
broad, and without a wrinkle. His hair, mous
cache, eyebrows, &c., are brown or auburn, and
he does not wear hie hair longer that it is usually
worn by Americans. His dress is in no way re
markable. A loose brown frock overcoat covers
a dark cloth frock coat, inside of which is a
brown velvet vest, and colored shirt. His pants
were of black cloth, and hie boots were rather
heavy in material, of the kind commonly known
as short boots. Around his neck was a muffler
0f gray woollen cloth, and around his head, iu
Turkish fashion, was a red and blue turban. All
his apparrel was of a very fine material, and
were it not for the turban, nothing extraordinary
would be about his appearance.
The Paella is very grActful in his manner, and
while very dignified yet very affable, lie was a

ociober, 1855, when the batteries of the allits
first opened on that celebrated fortress. He was
in command of a division of the Turkish fleet
often appeared in connection with the events in
all through the time the Crimean war lasted, and
his name which the allied fleets participated at
that time. He is only e. 2 years old, and none
of the officers composing his suite are over 90, if
we could judge by their appearance
Gas Inspector.
The Legislature of New York, has in
charge a bill providing for Gas c inspector in
the cities of New York and Brooklyn, which
is intended for the protection of consumers.
We have examined the provisions of the bill,
and it strikes as some similar arrangement
might be made here without injury to the Gas
company, and attended with benefit to con,.
Burners in Pttbiburgh, We merely throw out
the hint.
Tllll ORIGIN or Cunt..—There are two or three
points,and those of much theoretical importance,
respecting the origin of coal, on which geologi
cal authorities are nearly unanimous. The one
is, vegetable origin, formed apparantly from the
destruction of vast forests, and the prodigious
quantities of timber drifted by some of the great
rivers of the world into the present ocean renders
it not improbable that a similar formation may
now be carrying on in the depths of Certain parts
of the sea. In addition to this, it appears prob
able, from the nature of the preserved vegeta
bles, that the climate of the English coal-region
was not merely. tropical but ultra tropical. It
is also a point of scientific inference that the
coal strata were deposited in thd neighborhood,
and often probably upon the verge, of extensive
tracts of dry land—for the trees that are found
in coal strata are often like those of the British
submarine forests, so far as position goes- The
deposits of coal also appear afterwards to have
been elevated, and often dislocated and distorted
by forces acting from below, and which are
thought to have been of a volcanic nature.
A PERTINRNT QIIESTION.—The streets of Mem
phis, Tennessee, it would appear.from the abuse
lavished upon them by the city papers, are in a
very lamentable condition. The Bulletin pub
lishes the following, which is "vouched for :"
A few days ago, 118 a lady was coming down Mad

Ratillebula.kes•
A queer gennis tells the following: In a
village, which 1 need not name, there resided a
family consisting cif an old man by the name cf
Beaver, and his three sons, all of whom were
hard " pets," and who had often laughed to
scorn the advice and entreaties of a pious, th,iugh
very eiicentric minister, who resided in the same
town. imppeued one of the boys was bitten
by a rattlesnake and was expected to die, when
the minister was sent for in great haste. 0❑
his arrival he found the young man very penitent
and anxious to be prayed with, The minister
calling on the family, kneeled dowU and Prayeil
in this wise :
" 0 Lord, we thank thee for rattlesnakes; we
thank thee because a rattlesnake has bit Jim.
We pray thee send a rattlesnake to bite John ;
and ono to bite Bill; send one to bite Sam ; and,
0 Lord seadithe biggest kind of a rattlesnake to
bite the old man ; for nothing but rattlesnakes
will ever bring the Beaver family to repentance I"
CONSUMPTION OF GAS.—The following statis
tics afford a very reliable idea of the enormous
consumption of gas, and of the extent to which
this branch of industry has attained. Muspratt,
in speaking of the influence of chemistry, eats
that in England six million tons of coal are an
nually consumed in the manufacture of gas, and
froin twelve million to fifteen million pounds
sterling are expended in its predizotion. In
London alone five hundred thousand tons of coal
are annually used, producing four and a half
billion cubic feet of gas, and half a million chald
relic of coke ; of the latter, about a quarter part
is consumed in manufacturing the gas, and the
remainder is sold for fuel. Upwards of half a
million houses in London burn gas, and the
length of the main arteries for conveying it in
sixteen hundred milen. The eapitql employed in
the metropolis for the production of gas is twen
ty million dollars The manufacture of coal gas
for the purpose of illumination, affords one of
the most striking instances of the triumphs o!
science when enlisted in the cause of civiliz,,-
tion Looking at it as a whole, and regardicz
the ingenuity evinced in the construction of tip
paratus, the chemical skill and beauty displayed
in the process, and the very valtrible"pUrrses
to which it is applied, it forms one of the mot,'
beautiful, curious, and useful of modern mann
factures. Coal gas is now not a atert3 luxury, or
even convenience, hut au absolute necessity.

Mr. Iftimlin resumed his 8 peach.
Having. finished a defense of Northern laborers,
Mr. Hamlin proceeded to examine Mr. Hammond's
assertion that the wealth of the nation consists in
exports, and denying the truth of the proposition,
showing that the hundred millions of rotten export
ed by the South no more proved that that sum rep
resents her surplus prt.fit, after paying all demands,
than does the eight hundred millions, the value of
Northern manufactures, indicate that amount of
Northern surplus of wealth. The exports have to
pay for imports consuiued, therefore they cannot be
profit or surplus wcvdth. The South consumes all
the product of its exports, and yet Mr. Hammond,
assuming $212,000,000 as the tctal exports of the
South, claims that amount as surplus wealth. Be
[Mr. Hamlin] Sight, with as much propriety, con
tend that the amount of imports show a surplus
wealth, inasmuch as the imports assume the ability
to produce enough to balance the itnnotts. Mr.
Hamlin proceeded to show the fallao`y of both
positions, citing statistical tables, comparing the
exports and imports of the North and South.
He meat nroceeded to examine the true sources of
national wealth, as indicated by schools, population,
agriculture, manufactures, shipping, railroads, ca
pacity for war, giving figures to show the rela
tive strength of the two sections in these resources
on manufactures. Tho aggregate net profit of the
South was seventy nine millions, and of the North
three hundred and seventy-six millions. As to the
capacity to build ships and railroads and for war, he
denied that those were the true indices of national
greatness, though they were to some extent; taking
them as such, ih3 showed by figures a preponderance
in favor of the North of ten to one in ship tonnage,
and upward of five to end in railroadj, whije as to
capacity for war, ho showed that in tae Revolutionary
war the North contributed 215,000 men to 71,000
men by the South. Ifc admitted that Southerners
were a great people with respect to a defensive war,
but he did not think that their peculiar institution
would be harmless in such an event. Considering
the question relative to Constitutions, he contended
that until approved by the people they were not
worth the blank paper they were written on. The
Lecompton Constitution bad not been so approved,
and in fact the people of Kansas on the 4th of Jan
uary rejected it by an overwhelming majority, and
would have spat upon it. We are now attempting to
fume it upon the people under the forms of law.

Destructive Fire in Kittanning.--The
Court House In Ruing.
Zyrrazinuqp, Wednesday Afternoon,
March 10, 1858.
To-day at about half-past twelve o'clock, just as
Court adjourned, fire was discovered between the
ceiling and roof of the Court House, - but when seen
had made such progress that any effort to extinguish
it proved abortive. As quickly as possible, water
was procured, but from the location of the fire noth
ing could be done, and but a few moments sufficed
for the 4ateee to drive away those who were trying
to suppre s it.
The efforts of the officers were directed to saving
the books and papers, which was accomplished with
out any material loss, in a very short time.
For a short time there was danger of the Jail and
the Sheriff's _house taking fire from the burning
building but a plentiful supply of water thrown upon
matting spread upon the roof prevented the oath's-
tropho, •
The fire is supposed to have originated from a de
feCt near the roof, in the flue of one of the furnaces.
It originated immediately over the court room.'
The building is now, at three o'clock P. M., a
mass of smouldering ruins. The loss will be about
$35,000. There was no insurance on the building.
$3/1-I,PLANE'S VERIIIPUGE IN TEXAS.—Hear who
the Proprietor of the " Star Hotel " has to say of the won :or
ful effects of It'Lanes Verntifuge:
" STAR HOTEL," CENTREVILLE, Texas, Aug. 224, 1854.
Messrs. Plernisso Bros feel it my duty to make the fol
lowing statement Several of my children have been un—
well for the last week or two. I called at the " Dia --MOLITAE.'
to get some Oil of Worinsoed end other truck, to give them
tor worms. The thuggist recommended M'Lsrit's Versnifuge,
pro,,ared by you, but having heretofore, tried every Vetwi
fugo, in my knowing, without advantage, I told h:m it wa4
not worth while, as my children appeared proof against them
all. lle said to take a bottle, and ()tiered if it done no good
to refund the money. To satisfy him I done so, and the et
feet wee so much better than expected that I got another
bottle, and the result was most astonishing. Three of in)
children discharged a great number of the largest worms I
ever saw. To a young man, my Hai/ Carrier, who was
weak, puuy and poor as a snake, for a month or so, I gave
two doses, which brought from him at least a pint of what
is called stomach vformsf Strange as this may appear, yet
it is as " true as preaching:' How the boy stood it, so long
as he did, with ton ti:wand "Bins" gnawing at his atom
ads, to the greatort wonder to me. All these cases are now
doing well. No doubt the lives of thousands of children
b-ve been saved by the timely use or this exeraordinary
medicine. Don't fail to give it a trial.
