Section 27 vests the judicial power in the supreme court, district courts, probate courts and in justices of the peace. Section 28 declares the fugitive slave law of 1850 to be in full force in the territory. Section 29 provides for the appointment of an attorney and marshal for the territory. Section 30 treats with the nomination of the President, chief justice, associate justices, attorney and marshal, and their confirmation by the Senate, and prescribes the duties of these officers and fixes their salaries. Section 31 locates the temporary seat of government of the territory at Ft. Leavenworth, and authorizes the use of the Government buildings there for public purposes. Section 32 provides for the election of a delegate to Congress, and abrogates the Missouri Compromise. Section 33 prescribes the manner and the amount of appropriations for the erection of public buildings, and other territorial purposes. Section 34 reserves for the benefit of schools in the territory and states and territories hereafter to be erected out of the same, sections number 16 and 30 in each township, as they are surveyed. Section 35 prescribes the mode of defining the judicial districts of the territory, and appointing the times and places of holding the various courts. Section 36 requires officers to give official bonds, in such manner as the secretary of treasury may prescribe. Section 37 declares all treaties, laws and other engagements made by the United States Government with the Indian tribes inhabiting the territory to remain inviolate, notwithstanding anything contained in the provisions of the act. It was under the provisions of the above act that those coming to Kansas to civilize it and to erect their homes were to be guided. Edward Everett Hale, in his history of Kansas and Nebraska, published in 1854, says, “Up to the summer of 1834, Kansas and Nebraska have had no civilized residents, except the soldiers sent to keep the Indian tribes in order; the missionaries sent to convert them; the traders who bought furs of them, and those of the natives who may be considered to have attained some measure of civilization from their connection with the whites.” So it will be seen that at the time of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska act, Atchison county was very sparsely settled.
