Landlords aad Tenants.
A bill read in tha State Senate by Mr. Fienni
kn, of Greene, contains provisions of importance
to Landlords and Tenant.-. It goes to repeal that
portion of the old law which requires a jury cf
twelve freeholders in proceedings by landlords to
recover posieadn of real ette, aud authorizes
two Aldermen or Justices of the Teace alone to
hear and decide in such cases. Tenants' goods
liable to diatrusa fur rent, if sold on execution,
shall first go to pay rent till on the day of tale or
removal from the premises, or surrender of tho
latter.
Case of ilri. Gsdaes
A writer in the N. 0. Delta corrc-ctt the tm
prt'ion that M 3. Gaines has ultimately gained
her suit. TLe deciaiou of the Court does not ex
clude any who ny w Lh to tert the validity of
the will, and at e..ch attempt to recover the prop
erty the will be met by suits on this ground.
T.ie writer adds, the probability ii, that Mrs.
Gaines would not bjable to recover anything from
Daniel Cl..rk's estate, even if there was a valid
will in her favor, except what she might obtain
by Compromises from piaities who do not wish to
be annoyed by litigation, for the simple reason
that Daniel Cork's estate always was, and still
is insolvent.

CO- In our last issue we mentioned that a num

valuable horses stolen. We clip the foilowing
from the Pittsburg Detpateh, for the benefit of
those who have not jet recovered their animals.
Mohe lloisets have been recovered from the
gang near Old Fwre, Luzerne county, iu this
stale. Mr. George buttiemire of Cambria county,
whose attention was diiecied to the subject by the
notice we pubiised in DecemLer, baa recovered
one stolen from him early in August, and reports
that, on a recent visit to Luzerne, he obtained
the description cf the following animals now
there, which are supposed to have been stolen :
Une dark bay colt, about fifteen Lauds high,
four years old, taken there in June last. One
irou-gray colt, sixteen Lands high, has been there
foui or five years; was Hat footed, good size, is
now worth $1C0. Ue irou-gray colt, three or
four years old, sixteen hands high ; was taken
there in the summer of 1854, is now worth 175.
One light cream-colored horse, with white mane
and tail, sixteen Lands high, six years old ; was
taken there at the same time with last described
colt. One brown mare, eight years old, fifteen or
sixteen hands high, a little white on each hind
foot, a small star in the face ; was takeu there
last fall.
The owners can learn more cf them by ad
dressing Mr. John Stewart, at Old Forge a
gentlemen to whom the community are much in

Sale of the Stock of the transportation Com
panies to the Pennsylvania Railroad State
ment of Col. Hopkins.
Washington Jan. 24th, 1S56.
Messrs. Grafton & Hurt: After the pub
lication of the last annual report of the Canal
Commissioners, I had supposed that the alle
gation, that the Commissioners had been ac
complices in the sale of the stock of the Trans
portation companies to the Pennsylvania Kail
road company, would be put at rest, but it
seems that, in this, I was mistaken. Some
of the newspapers Mill appear to labor under
a misaprehension on the mljcct, and as it is
a question ia which the public have an inter
est, I deem it proper, iu vindication of the
Board, and with a view of bringing the matter
to a direct issue, to state here explicitly, that
the Board never cither advised, or assented to
the tale, but, oa the contrary, when thev
were called upon by the Transporters for tha't
purpose, and urged to do so. they peremptori
ly refused, declaring that it was "a matter
over which the Board Lad no control,"' and
tLa.V if thc saIi sbould b'J lnaile' th- respou-
siouity must rest upon tne parties tnc-mselves
nor uo I beiiove that tho Commissioners in
their i dividual capacity, ad v it el the sale
certuin is it that I did not.
Taking for granted that wo will be allowed
the benefit of thc maxim iu crimiual jurispru
dence, (that " a man is always presumed in
nocent until he be proved guilty") I will con
tent myself, for the present, with this uuqua!
ihed denial, without attempting ta prove a
negative.

to the principles embraced iu the Kansas Ne

I laws passed to put it into operation. While
Nebraska has been suecesstahy organized,
the organization cf Kansas lias been Jong
delayed, attended by serious ditficuiiies: and
j embarrassments, partly from local uial-admiu-
istration, and partly from unjustifiable inter-
fere nee from the inhabitants of some of the
yi i;,iek,a t0 tl,, interests and
rigll(S of tL. Territory Gov. lteeder, iu-
stead of constant vigilance in tho exercise of
duties, allowed his attention to be diverted
from his oiEciid obiiiMtiou.s by e ther objects,

ttie classing ed the slavery and ami slavery
interests as the cause of the mischief, aud as
emphatically condemns the eff orts to anticipate
or force the determination of that question in
this iucohate stale. The first Legislative
Assembly, whatever may have been the in
foi inaiities in the election of members, was
for all practical purposes a lawful body ; and
in this connection the President reviews Gov.
JUeder's conduct regarding the removal of
the seal of government, and his refusal to
sign the bills passed by that body.
Tld ill-feeling in that territory has now
reached such a point that it threaten the
peace, not only of Kansas, but of the Union.
Relative to the recent Convention which form
ed a Free State Contitution, he says it was
by a party and not the people, who thus acted
contrary to the principles of public law, the
practice under the Constitution of the United
States, and the rule of right and cummcn
settee. The Uiovemcnt in opposition to the
Constitutional authorities of Kansas, was
revolutionary in its character, and if it si all
reach a point of organized lesistonee, it will
be a treasonable insurrection, and it will be
come the duty of the Federal Government to
suppress it. It is not for the I'resident to
define the duties of the States or Territories,
or to decide whether a law is wio or uuuino,
just or unjust. It is bis duty to cause it to
I e executed. The great popular prerogative
cf telf-governmeut must be respected.
The I'resident says it is his duty to pre
serve order in the Territory, and to vindicate
the laws, whether federal or local, and to pro-
i tect the people iu the fuli enjoyment ed" .self-
government lrom all encroachment from with
out. Although serious and threatening the
disturbances announced to him by Governor
Shannou, in December last, were quit-ted
without the effusion of blood. There is re-a-sou
now, however, to apprehend renewed dis
orders there, unless decided measures be
forthwith taken to prc-Vi-Lt them. Ue con
cludes by saying that it the inhabitants of
Kansas shall desire a State formation, ttnd be
of sufficient numbers, thc proper course would
be a convention of delegates to prepate a
constitution, and recommends the enactment
of a law to that effect iu order for its admis
sion into the Union iu a lawful and projier
manner, and that a special appropriation be
made to defray any expenses which may become J
reeiuisite iu tne execution or tne laws, or in
maintaining public order in that Territory.
Mr. Seward differed from the President.
Under the present state of our foreigu rela
tions, he wouid forego argument ou that mat
ter now ; but when, in thc judgement of the
majority of the Senate, the time shall have
come for action on the subject, he would en
deavor to make good his opposition to the
policy, the position and the sentiments which
are contained in the President's message.
Mr. Mason moved the reference of the
message to the committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. Clayton thought it better to organize a
select committee of thirteen.
Mr. Seward suggested that on the commit
tee oa the Judiciary there were no opponents
of the adiuistration. while on tho committee
on Territories there was only one. lie
thought it would be generous aud fair to let
the minority have a hearing, but would not
assist on the motion for that reference.

New Militia Bill. Thc State Military
Convention, which met in Harrisbarg, on
Monday last, appointed a committee to draft
a bill, which they will urge the Legislature to
pass, regulating the military system of the
State The move is a good one, for the pres
ent militia system is simply ridiculous. If it
has anv use at all, it is as a source of fun
and amusement certainly not as a means of
preparing nieu for warfare. Loafers and
small boys who attend militia matters will
pirobably be opposed to any change Some
old boys, too, if they had their early days to
live over again, would object to any attempt
at reform. The old Constitution is mighty
popular with youngsters.
Maryland is moving for a Ilcgistration
Law, in order to enforce a record of births,
marriages and deaths, in the State. New
York has such a law, and the amended Con
stitution of Virginia provides one, but Mas
sachusetts takes the lead in the perfect work
ius of the system The law serves a double
purpose, in determining the increase of pop
ulation, and supplying facilities for establishing
tho rights of property.
Tiie Jcg Law in New Bkcnswick. The
Prohibitory L'npuor Law is very distasteful to
the New Brunswiekers. The first trial under
it took place at St. John, on the"Sth inst., and
created an intense excitement. Through some
informality tho case wa3 dismissed. The
crowd formed in procession, bearing aloft im
ages of the informers, which were subsequent

between the people and police occurred, and

country, ia favor of the restoration of the
ilissoari Compromisa. or who will hestiLsts to

striction. Second, L!;at the restoration should
)2 restored as a proper vindication of the
whilom, patriotism, and plighted Looor of the
i-rcV; statesman who imposed it, and as a
necf-esary and certain means of reviving the
harmony and concord among the Sts.Leo of
he Union. Third, that useless and factious
nguation of the slavery question, in or out of
Congress, is uuwiso and unjust to every sec
tion of the Union ; but until thc restriction is
restored, it is owed as a solemn duty to the
past, present, ami lutuie, steatiily to persist
iu elle.rts to that end. The .first resolution
was '-ejected by a majority one. Tho IIous-.
then proceeded to vot." on the others.
Thc second resolution was adopted by erne

f TA letter from Paris says that a differ
ence of views bctweon L'uglaud and France,
in relation to the policy of por.ee, still exists.
Fugland resigns herself with reluctance, to
the overtures that have been made, while
France is qui.o eager for the adjustme nt of
tho trouble. It is stated that between Lord
Cowlej- and Count Walcwski, and between the
latter and M. de Persiguy, the difference is
so great as to have brought hard vvrds. The
Emperor and his Minister of Po.vigu ACairs
arc for peace ; but Lord Cowley, representing
the British Cabinet, and M. de Persiguy,
rcfirsenting France at London, where lie has
imbibed English notions, ore in favor cf a
further prosecution of the wsr, cn the ground
that better terms may be exacted from Russia
at some future time. Both Powers have as
sented to the propositions of Austria, as borne
to thc Czar by Count IFsterhazy, but iu the
event of their rejection, both will return to
the work of blood with more energy and de
termination than ever.
5?Tbe Europ -aTi Times says that " the
belief continues to gain ground in th? commer

for peace, recently proposed, have decidedly
failed, although it has been stated that, before
she gives a final reply, Russia is desirous cf
offering counter propositions. It is plain that
the object of such a step is to gain time, ns no
one beieives she would propose terms a this
stage of the war that would cause tln Western
Powers to conclude a lasting and honorable
peace."
American Vineyards. Robert Buchanan,
of Cincinnati, says that he sold last year,
from his vineyard, 140.000 cuttings, and
thinks that the whole number sold in one sea
son would number 2,000,000 cuttings aud
300, 000 stocks. This looks very much like
making the Ohio Valley the land of the vine.
We bad certainly rather see this thaa the in

the present time all over the West.
