WASHINGToN, Nby. 20, 1893.
The danger of collision between the
Federal Government and the Free State
Government of Kansas, is imminent. The
Free State Convention have adopted con-
sttution, which is to be approved by the
Anti Slavery voters on the 18th of Decem-
Der, and put in operation in january
The laws of the new State will, of course,
come in conflict with those of the Terrific
rial Government, and Governor Shannon
has stated that he is authorized by the Pres
ident 10 call upon the militia, and also on
United States troops for the maintenance of
the laws Of the Territorial Governments
We were never before quite so near civil
war as we are under this state Of things
The militia TO be called out, will, Of course,
be the Missouri men-the very men who
have undertaken the task Of making Kansas
slaveholding State.
learn that Mr.. Pomeroy, who is a
prominent candidate IN competition with
Col. Lane for the United States Senatorship,
is to be the military leader of the Free-State
troops in case Of war. The Kansas Con-
stitutional Convention have adopted the ex-
ample of California and propose to create a
State Government, whether Congress shall
admit it as State or not. There is nc
probability that Congress will, at the com.
ing session, admit Kansas as State, wheth,
er with or without Slavery. The popula
ton is at most not over thirty-thousand
which is quite insufficient 10 enttle it to {
Representative, to say nothing of the adj
mission of two rotton borough Senator's
Besides, the Anti-Slavery party desires ant
intends 10 fight the Presidential battle upol
the Kansas question, and will not, there
fore, allow the questionto be settled at pres
ent.
Though Congress is to meet tomorrow
week, we see few members here as yet

called to meet here on Wednesday, proba

JEFFERSON CRY, Nov. %.
Mr.. GREEN: The University bill passed
the Senate yesterday without amendment,
although some opposition was made to the
restriction upon ministers of the gospel.
The bill passed by very decided majority,
the vote being 10 to IS.
The Revised Bill concerning slaves and
free negroes passed the House yesterday
An important change in the policy of the
State was engrafted upon that law; no per-
son being permitted to emancipate or set
free their slaves in the State, unless they
make provision for their immediate coloni-
cation. There is also bill now before
select committee of the House, proposing
TO appropriate SO, GOO per year as aid to the
Colonization Society, in seending free per-
sons of color TO Liberia, at the rate of $50
per person. If this bill pass, it will be
step taken by Missouri in the lead Of other
Southern States. Virginia long permitted
masters TO emancipate their slaves, until she
became filled with that unfortunate class of
people, by mistaken feeling of humanity,
but now she has wisely inhibited taeir fur
Their emancipation within her limits, and
passed law appropriatmg $4,000 per
year, for the period OF ten years for the
purpose of coonizug her free black popu-
lation. BY this law no more free negroes
are allowed to settle in Missouri.
The Senate receded from their amend
ment 10 the election bill, and concurred with
the House in permitting ST. Louis count"
alone TO vote by ballot--the balance of the
State Vtva voce.
Rumor has furnished nothing more on
the subject of the Senatorial election, and
from present indications, no Senator will be
elected this session.
A telegrapic dispatch was received in the
city to-day, announcing the fact that forci-
bic resistance had been made against the Of.
iicers of the law in Kansas, and that Gov.
ernor Shannon has called into requisition the
militia of the Territory, TO force the execu.
ton Of the law at the point of the bayonet.
The Omnibus Railroad Bill, passed by
the Senate, has not been yet taken up il
the House. G.,

WAsH1NeroN, December 3

There is good deal of caucussing going
on tonight. 1t is generally understood that
the Black Republicans and Freesoilers will
concentrate tomorrow on Mr.. Banks, of
Massachusetts, numbering together 1913 and
being sufficient TO elect. The caucus Of
Southern Know Nothings and National De-
mocrats and Wings, numbering 10, resolved
to reject all fusions with the Freesoil fac
tons, but have no hopes Of defeating them.
Greedy, Weed and Seward have been work
ing all day 10 fuse the factions, and are I'M
derstood to have succeeded. The National
Americans will vote for Henry M. Fuller
for Speaker, and endeavor TO draw the en-
tire Democratic vote TO him, by conceding
TO them the Clerk or Printer, thus forming
Union party against the Freesoil factions.
They deny that the Republicans can, by a
fusion, poll more than l05 votes, while lib
is necessary to elect. The President per-
sists in refusing 10 print the Message. 1t
will be sent 10 the two Houses in writing.

WHIG MEETING

A meeting of the Wing members of the
General Assembly, and the Wings now So
iourning in Jefferson City, was held in the
Hall of the House Of Representatives, last
Friday evening.
Gen. Wilson called the meeting TO order,
and nominated WM. Carson as President,
ard ]. NJ. Bean, and c. Gibson were ap.
pointed Secretaries.
A committee of seven was appointed 10
draft resolutions expressive Of the sense of
the meeting, who reported a preamble and
resolutions, which contain a good deal of
gas and high-falutin, declaring the old Wing
party still alive, urging the Wings 10 pre-
serve their ancient organization in AIissou-
RI, and exhorts them TO battle for the time
honored principles of the party. They also
recommend the holding of Wing Conven-
ton in St. Louis, on the second Monday in
April next, 10 appoint delegates 10 a Wing
National Convention, and 10 nominate candi-
dutes for Governor, Lieut.. Governor, and
other State officers.
Mr.. Guitar one Of the committee, dis
scented from the views expressed in the res
olution>, and presented minority report,
recommending the Wings in the different
counties throughout the State to hold meet
ings and adopt such policy in regard 10
the approaching canvass, as the eXigencies
of the times may demand.
We have not room for the proceedings Of
the meeting this week, but may publish them
hereafter and have something more TO say
on the subject.

Cry OF JEFFERSON,
November 27th, 1855.
Ma. Green: The 18th inst, the day set
by the Senate for the election Of I. s. SEN
ator, came and went without any action on
the subject, and, indeed, that topic has been
so much canvassed, both in conversations
and through the newspapers, that it is
threadbare, and the better opinion seems to
be, that no election can be agreed upon,
without which YOU need not expect TO hear
that the resolution Of the Senate will re-
ceive the concurrence Of the House,
Yesterday was a lucky day for the Rail
road men in Jefferson. Two bills passed
the House for new projects, pledging the
State credit 10 the small amount of half a
million dollars, upon the dollar for dollar
principle-the Fulton s. Cairo Road, and
the Platte Country Road heretofore vetoed
by his Exoelency.
The Omnibus bill, or bill podcing the
credit of the State for near ten millions of
dollars more, passed the Senate by ma
ierity of 10 to - votes. This bill departs
from the principle of the former system in
this, that when the companies shall have
expended one dollar, the State is TO adj
vance them two, in her per cent, thirty
years bonds, to be sold as best they may be-.
Much speculation is abroad as to whether
the latter bill will pass the House, and then
as 10 the approval Of his Excellency. The
outside pressure is now very great in the
city on Tie subjects of Railroads and I. S.
Senator. OF the former may be seen Di-
rectors, Agents, Contractors, Engineers and
Presidents. On the latter subject, the An
ties, true TO their ancient instinat for office,
you may see the heads of the clan making
court 10 members Of the General Assembly
on the corners, in the streets, and about the
Capitol. Some are here lean and lank, ma
king death struggle for Congressional hon
ors, but tie coy dame may still elude some,
and never again suffer others to embrace
her. Mr.. Jackson, of Saline, and Mr..
Green, of Lewis, are in town.
Neither the bill regulating elections, nor
that concerning the State University, have
been acted upon by the Senate. c.

A dispatch was received yesterday even
ing from P. T. Abel, Esq, at Atchison, X.
T., stating that one of the leaders of the
Kansas Legion had been arrested by some
of the citizens. When he found he was
taken, he attempted to destroy some papers
he had with him, by chewing and swallow
ing them, He was prevented from doing
it, and the papers were found to contain the
secrets Of the midnight order, Atchison
was to be burned down, and Pat Laughlin
was 10 be murdered. The citizens of Atch-
ison had mostly left 10 join the Governors
forces at Lecompton, and there being scarce
" any arms there, they desired q company
of armed men from Weston to help them to
repel any attack they might make on the
town. A company of our citizens prepared
themselves, and left last night at 8 o'clock,
These occurrences are producing dread
full state Of excitement in our midst. Groups
Of men are constantly watching about the
streets to hear the latest news. Should this
state of things continue TO increase for 3
few days more our business transactions
must be necessarily checked very much
The Governor says in dispatch he will on

Organised companies, forward your consti,

FAYErrE, December 4, 1876


The December term Of the Howard Cir
cult Court commenced yesterday with rath-
er fuller docket than usual, six days work
being laid out. Yesterday all the State ca
SEES but one was disposed of, and to-day al
beginning will be made on the civil docket.
The Grand Jury, learn will not contin-
We in session longer than tomorrow, as
they seem to have but little to do.
Yesterday was beautiful day, and there
was an unusual large crowd of people here.
For the first time for many years, there was
no political meeting held here yesterday,
and those who have become accustomed to
that kind of stimulant, do not understand it.
The democracy, it is said, desired to hold a
meeting, and ratiGy the platform of the Leg
islative caucus, and do something to mollify
the feelings of the late Lieutenant Govern
or; but one SAID if t'we hold meeting them
sd-2d Know Nothings will bother us, as they
did before, and if we sympathise with Raw
Inns, we-run in the teeth of some Of our
lrleHlS- WHO Welll III anu ouI vi VIC Nho"
Nothing party, with him." and upon the
whole they thought they'd better not.
TIE American party is wide awake, and
ready for the antics, in any shape, and the
fact that the latter were afraid to hold a
meeting is pretty strong evidence that the
former is not so dead as the "retirers"
would have the public believe. There was
an American meeting last night, and some
eight or ten persons joined, and were ad-
vanced to the Third Degree, as l am inform
ed this morning. They are making pre-
parations for thorough organization, for
next summers work and those who know
the strength Of the party, feel confident of
carrying the county.
The news from Kansas does not create as
much excitement here as was anticipated.
A public meeting on that subject is talked
of for to-day,and if anything is done, / will
send the result. Our second Extras were
received last night, and read with interest.
A short time after they came 10 hand, pr-
vate dispatches were received containing
about the same news.
This is poor place for news. Notwith-
standing there is daily mail passing through
here, from 81. Louis 10 Glasgow, there are
but two daily papers taken at this office, and
one of them is taken by a gentleman who
lives out of town. | have not seen paper
later than those received at Glasgow, last
& Saturday-the mail due to-day not being
in yet The people Of this place, are deci.
dedly old fogies, so far as late news is con,
cerned, and notwithstanding they have {
daily mail and telegraph, we furnish the la
test news through the Times and our EX
tras.
! see Col. Davis is here, having beer
called home in consequence of sickness il
his family. He left Jefferson last FRIDAY
says they had pretty much got through
with the Revision of the laws, and think
no Senator will be chosen. "
