Wednesday of last wool: Brown "wait taken before Judge Tibhils on a writ haben corpus, and after consuming tiii'oe Uays in tlio trial ot tho case in order to ascertain whether Brown should bo held to bail or not, the court render ed the following, public reasons for bis, decision It is tho opinion of this court, after having weighed iho testimony carefully and giving due weight and credit to the able argument of the county at torney, mat tne charge ot murder pre-meditatcly and of malice aforethought against said Brown exists only in the vivid imagination of tho county attorney notwithstanding tho fu-t that the court below refused to bail said Brown and that public sentiment concurred therein; this court cannot be hampered in the faithful discharge of its official duties by an inferior court or a prejudiced public sentiment, tmt must bo governed by tlm tacta. It is there- foj-e ordered and adjudged by this court that tho priponer bo held to bail in the sum of $UOO0, for bis appearance at the next term of tho District Court to be held in Chautauqua County, Kansas Public opinion furnishes other and more satisfactory reasons for tho decision of which I may perhaps, say moro in the future. Browu has not yet been able to mako up the full 'amount of bis bail bond, but it will bo done thin week There is nothing like having plenty of money and frienda; they are tho best of salo guards against imprisonment in a oounty jail.

Now is tho timo to subscribe. Kansas as compared with soino of tho Eastern States. It would mako sixty states the Bize of Rhodo Island, and with tho Banio population to the square mile, Kan. would have a population of It would cover ten such states as Massachusetts and with the same population tq the sq mile, it would eonlain 14,074,100 souls. Kan.

would mako sixteen Wooden Nutmeg Btates, and then have quite a slice loft. Who says we do not live in a great state? The young peoplo of Peru have organized a Grammar school. The firnt lesson was given by Prof. Craig last Monday evening at tho school house Dr. Thos.

Stevens is to direct tho next lesson on next Monday evening. This is a good move and can be made not only an interesting, but an instructive place for young and old to pass the evening. Earnest study criticisms given kindly, and hearty co-operation will make the effort a success. Westward ho! Emigrants are coming into tho country almost daily, somo to stay, others to join tho tido sotting towards tho Western Mountains, seeking that Eldorado of so many hopes-farther West. In the memory of some of our readers will bo the recollootion of tho days when from New York and Ohio to Miohigan and Illinois was deemed a far westward journey.

Now the tides of emigration from the eastern sea-board and the Pacifio join at tho Rocky Mountains. But a few more years and that vast country ono markod ''the great American Desert" will teem with life and trade. We found the following letter: Dear i I deny "the soft impeach ment." If 1 am a printer's devil, of breathing anything but vapors of brimstone This evening I would bask in tho sunlight of your presence and quaff "Nepenthe" from tho lips of love. May I be made happy then as your Cavalier to tho ''Social" this evening? I will follow the Golden "rule" and refrain from "pieing" my "form," iu fact "issue" like an ''extra" from a first class office, in "new dress" armed with a "shooting stick" to protoct you from the "press" of the ''patrons" of the entertainment.
