/ Three new frame buildings all ready to
put up, were landed at our wharf last week
by the steamer Genoa, from St. Louis
Several more buildings hayei'been ordered
and are looked for daily. Houses go UP
here in day and some of our citizens who
leave for few days and return, say they
were never more astonished in their lives,
TO see with what rapiaity houses are put up.
Improvements In Leayenworth are going
ahead rapidly, and in twelve months from
this time, we predict it well conta in popu-
lation of at least two thousand inhabitants.
This is no idle boasting, but what we be-
lieye will be fully realised. Its enemies
may talk about treaties and titles till
they are grey but they will never keep
back the steady ard onward progress of ON
youngand flourshing place.

Lie dDOlltIOQiStS OF The norm, not satisfied
with what the Emigration Aid Societies are
doing In importing set Of business, are
endeayoring TO induce the notorious Fred
Douglas, to settle colony of free negroes in
Kansas. This last move if attempted to be
carried into effect Will be metwith a strong
and determined resistance by the great
mass Of our settlers. It is enough to en-
dure white abolitionists, but the importa-
ton Of black ones, would make the griey-
ance intolerabIe There is point at which
fOrbearance ceases to be a virtue, and
of free negroes are to he colonised In
Kansas population the rncst degra-
ded-it is time the press and the people
were speaking out against these abolition
movements. But for the honor Of our
country, we hope no such movement as the
one referred to viii ever be attempted
1t would be an Outrage upon the law aEid-
ing citizens Of he Territory, and disgrace
to those engaged in the rlnholy purpose of
abolitionisirg this Territory.
We came here tie advocate of the Kan
sas bill, and the principles OF self govern
ment, giving to the people Of TIE Territory
the right to regulate their own domes tic in
stitutions and taking from the Halls OF
Congress question which properly be-
longs to the people. We are satisfied to
carry out this doctrine, aud abide by the
will of tie majority; but we want fair
AMI legitimate mode of procedure in
bringing alout an expression as to public
men or measures. The efforts of Ger
tain men and societies now resorted to in.
importing voters into the Territory, for the
sole purpose Of swaying the; popular will,
is unfair and unjust, and tegets a feeling
opposition that must result ii a high state Of
excitement. Werejoice to see good .citi-
zens from every section coming to- our
country of their own free will and choice.
They are the persons to whom we must
look for aid and assistance in developing
the resources of cur country, and giving
character 10 the Territory.
We shall await further developements,
and if NE ascertain the present rmnor is cor

The foreign papers detail the following case
OF recent occurrence in Berlin, Prussia;
"One Of the Jewish merchants there, L.
Meyer, was accused Of bribing the clerk of the
telegraph for the purpose of obtaining q knowl-
edge OF the contents of the most important
commercial telegraphc messages before the
persons to whom they were addressed Two
brothers named Richenheim, one of whom is a
clerk OF Meyer, were accused of being the
persons by whom the alleged fraudulent com
munications were carried on. Their business
was always to be at or near the telegraph sta
tion, to convey to their employer the intelligence
which was communicated to them by the clerks
at the telegraphic office, in the pay of Meyer.
Meyer himself is said to have made great sums
OF money by this infamous traffic. Thus an
order was sent to Herr Blechroder, the agent
of Rothschids' house, to buy up 100, 900 thalers
of shares in the Cologne Railway.
The message war known to l.. Meyer half an
hour if not an hour before it was known to the
agent of Rothschild. The consequence was
that Meyer bought up as much of this paper as
he coald, drove up the price, and made a large
profit by the transaction This is only one Of
many eases. The trial came to conclusion
on Monday, the 18th ult. Janck, the clerk
was condemned to three years imprisonment
with loss of social rights as a citizen for five
years, for having ransgressed his official duties
Julius Richenheim, for having bribed an
official, to two years Imprisonment, with loss
OF social rights for two years; and Isidor
Richenbeim to half the term; Meyer, the
banker, for being an accompice in said act Of
bribery, to two and half years imprisonment
and three years degradation. An attempt is
made to prevent similar frauds in future. This
is not quite SO easy as may be supposed the
salaries Of some of the clerks in the telegraph
office being less than el0O year, while the
profits of single fraud may amount to many
thousands, of which, of course, they get con
| siderable share.

A Knusas Courf-hause.

A Kansas letter thus describes the place
where the United States District Court for
Kansas is held
The building is evidently intended for a
private residence. 1t is frame building of
two apartments, some sixteen by eighteen feet
each In one of these is the court enclosed.
very good stove is the only article in the
room and as the walls are not plastered, its
heat is required. As much of the building
has been made from green cottonwood, the

woody odor, that is more peculiar than agreea-
bic. A couple of plasterers' "mules" are
placed close to the wall, and these, with log
laid on couple of blocks and ladder turned
on one edge, constitute the accommodations
for the jurors and audience. A coarse table,
with drawer in it, stands at one end of the
same Under it lie apair of saddle bags,
carelessly thrown and tin canister, open at
one side, in which are a couple of parcels of
those mysterious papers which puzzle the in
genuity of young lawyers, try the metal of old
ones, and are as sounding brass and fink-
ling symbol" to all other sensible men, A few
common and rather coarse chairs are grouped
round that table, and on these the functiona-
ries of law divine" are seated. Judge Le-
compte is the chief justice.

FIorida-Govcrnor,s Message.

Governor Broome, Of Florida, has communi-
Gated his message to the legislature. The
receipts into the treasury during the last fiscal
year amount to SOS, 1854, and the warrants issued
during the same period amount to SS5,365;
showinga deficiency of about $4,000. The
aggregate Indebtedness of the State, including
$4,000, contracted in the protection of the
frontier from India depredations, is Sl8l, ,872.
With view to the extinguishment of this debt
the establishment Of sinking fund is recon.
mended. Samuel S. Hamilton, President of
the India Emigrating Society of the Creek Ma
ton, has made proposition to contract for the
removal of the Indians from the State, which
will be submitted to the general Assembly.
There has been a gratifying increase in the
population Of the State since the last enumera-
ton Of inhabitants was made. A new era
says the message, has been inaugurated by the
progress Of internal improvements in the State
Under the aid afforded by the Legislature last
winter several roads have been located and
surveyed and the work Of construction com
menced.

We have refrained from making any re-
marks upon the uncertain reports Of difficulties
threatening even civil war-we have refrained,
because the accounts are Of matters so import
ant, that basty judgment should not pass.
Until we have truthful and full account of
everything connected with these unhappy diff
culties, we deem it proper to withhold any CON-
ments. We are unwilling to add to the excite
ment which already is sufficiently intense.
We feel confident, whatever difficulties may
exist, that right will eventually prevail Mis-
chief may result from irritating language, and
until we know the facts, intelligent condem-
nation cannot be pronounced, nor can support
be given to those who abide by the laws. That
there are bad men in the Territories is very true
but let US be careful to single out the wrong
doers before We indiscriminately cast impu.
tsion. Much allowance must be made for the
state of feeling existing there So many efforts
have been made from abroad 10 arouse bad
feeling that it would be somewhat strange il
perfect discretion reigned there.
We reserve comments until we can speak In
| telligibly, when we will speak not as partizans
| but as constitutional, law.abi6ing men.

Daily national era., 1854-05-09

In the discussions upon our foreign rela-
tions, the press labors under the great dsad.
vantage Of rarely ever being certain Of the
facts of the case, Of any reliable knowledge Of
the correspondence which may have taken
place, and of the position taken by our Gov
ernment.
1t becomes the press, therefore, in all for
eign matters, to drop party feeling and party
prejudice-to assume, until the contrary is
shown, that every Administration, in its con-
duct towards foreign nations, is truly Amer
lean.
The duty OF the press, IT appears to US, IS to
discuss all foreign matters with such lights as
may he furnished. with single eye to the ma
tional honor and welfare-so that the Admins.
tration may have shed upon the subject such
truthful light and true refexion of popular senti
ment as will enable it to know what is the relia-
BILE sentiment of the community. II is a great ma
tional wrong which no party ties can Justify, for
any press to seek to embarrass an Executive
in collision with foreign powers. To denounce
or to embarrnss an Executive in the honest
discharge of his duties, in protecting American
rights, interest or honor, is to give aid and
comfort to our enemies in the most nsidous
form.
If we desire an Administration to act with
wisdom, energy, and promptness, in all our for
eign relations, it should be made to feel that
the entire country looks to its action with con-
6dence, and will stand prepared unanimously
TO second and support every movement wisely
taken in defence Of the nations honor and well
fare-that no captious exception will be taken
to it, no hypothetical denuncations made, no
unkind anticipations of folly or weakness on the
tons. A generous support will alike give IN
iinching frmness to an Administration and re-
lieve it from nervousness which may betray it
into weakness or into bravado--a generous sup
port will give it confidence and calmness and
its action will be marked with dignity. Should
any Administration prove regardless of the
honor Of the nation, its condemnation would
be universal and unqualified. On International
matters, let passion and party strife subside.
1t is absolutely impossible for any Administra-
ton to contend even-handed with the skilful
diplomatists of foreign nations, when IT finds
its worst and most malignant opponents at
-hamstringing it as it were.
But let an Administration feel assured that
an honest and discreet exercise Of its authority
in its intercourse with foreign nations, will
meet with the candid and generous judgment of
the nation, and it will do more to insure an able
and faithful discharge of Executive duty than
all the carpins and slander Of all the hounds
of party.
We wait, therefore, for the exposition from the
Executive of the full facts and Of its action in
the recruiting matter, before We will allow our
selves to suppose that any default has been
made by it in this delicate and important mat.

chief Justice TnneY.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Courier says:
The country will learn with regret that the
absence Of Chief Justice Taney from the
Supreme Court is caused not by business en-.
gagements, as has been enormously stated, but
by illness. He is confined to his residence in
Baltimore, and | learn that on Thursday last
his physician could give no opinion as to when
it would be prudent for him to remove to Wash
ington. This venerable and learned Justice
has now presided over the Supreme Court a
period Of twenty years, and his legal knowledge
and sound conservative character have learned,
in an eminent degree, the confidence Of the bar
and the respect Of the country. The age ofthe
Chief Justice is very advanced, and the attack
under which he is now suffering naturally
awakens the most serious apprehensions Of his
friends and associates.
