director, Austin McQuad, clerk, Thos. Daily, treasurer. By change of county lines in 1868 this district was thrown wholly outside the county.
FEBRUARY 9. An effort was made to put through the Legislature a bill granting tlie 500,000 acres of land given by the General Government to the state, to railroad companies, one-third to go to a road run through the north- ern tier of counties. The bill passed the Senate. Among those who opposed it in the House was Ira J. Lacock of the 11th district. £ When this became known at Hiawatha W. B. Barnett, and A. J. Sellegg were appointed a com- mitte to go to Topeka and present to Mr. Lacock a document signed by a num- ber of citizens expressing dissatisfaction with his course and asking him to about face or give up his seat. The committee did not meet with a warm reception and on their return an indignation meeting was called at the court house. J. G. Kelsey was called to the chair and E. N. Morrill was chosen secretary. Speeches were made by W. B. Barnett, A. J. Sellegg, W. H. Jones, H. P. Stebbins, B. F. Killey, J. G. Kelsey and Col. E. Bierer, after which the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, that Hon. I. J. Lacock. Representative from this district, by his base betrayal of our interests, and gross violation of his pledges, has forfeited our confidence and respect, is 110 longer worthy to represent us, and is requested to resign his seat in the Legislature.
2. That we cordially approve of the course of Hon. Samuel Speer, State Senator, and Hon. C. E. Parker, Representative from the 12th district, in supporting the railroad bill.
3. That Messers W. B. Barnett and A. J. Sellegg are entitled to our thanks for their ser- vices at Topeka.
FEBRUARY 12. Ira J. Lacock resigns his seat in the Legislature. Twenty- seven members of the Legislature sign the following letter to him:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Topeka, Feb. 12, 1866. Hon. Ira J. Lacock:
SIR :- The undersigned have heard with regret of your determination to resign your seat as a member of the Legislature, and that such a course has been adopted by you on the request made by your constituents to resign or vote for the appropriation of the 500,005 acres of land to certain mythical rail- roads, donated to the State, and by the Constitution, which you took a solemn oath to support, dedicated sacredly to the common school fund by Section 3, Article V, of that instrument.
We appreciate the manhood of him who has the courage to resign office and honors rather than do wrong -rather than violate his oath of office; and we beg leave to assure you that in our judgment the courts will (in case the fraud is perpetrated) vindicate the integrity of the Constitution, and an outraged and insulted people duly recognize your manhood and courage, while those who asked that you violate the Constitution of the State, will hang their heads in shame, and those who seek to make personal profit and merchandise out of the school fund of our State, will be consigned by an outraged people to obliv- ion, and only live in the infamy their acts attempted to legalize.
With the highest regard for your personality, and with the conviction that you will be fully vindicated by an honest, though at present mistaken con- stituency, we have the honor to be your obedient servents,

They have said once, and with almost entire unanimity at the ballot box, that they desire these 500,000 acres of land to be forever held sacred to the school fund for the common schools. They have placed it in the Constitution. I am as much in favor of building railroads as any man but I want to do it lawfully and hon- estly and not appropriate the property of the children of ,Kansas for that purpose."
