Governor Reeder Removed-Hls Successor APP
/ pointed.
The following dispatch tells the story in
brief:
WAsHINGTos, July 30.
/ John L. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, has
been appointed by the President Governor
of Kansas, uice Reeder, removed.
Before proceeding to comment upon the
above announcement, we will 60 backs few
days. On the 2lst Of July Governor Reeder
sent in his message yetoing all bills that
had been passed BY the Legislature suisse
quent to the 10th, when it convened at Shaw
nee Mission by adjournment from Pawnee.-
/ He said:
s'Itseems to be plain that the Legislature
is now in session, $50 far as sheplace is con-
cerned, in contrayention Of the net of Con-
gress, and where shey have no right to sit,
and can make no valid legislation. Enter
tanning these views, ! can give no sanction
to any bill that may be passed; and if my
reasons are not satisfactory to the Legisla-
tive Assembly, it follows that we must act
independently of each other.''
On that day correspondent Of the st.
Louis Republican wrote as follows:
"Great excitement among .he members,
and they are determined tessh6w his Cover
norship that they will not be imposed upon
by him any longer. Committees from both
! to the President, requesting his removal i'm
mediately. Look out for something rich
next week, as the Squatter Soyereigns are
aroused at the outrage"
The following are the proceedings of the
Kansas Legislature on the 25th:
The joint committee to draft memorial

Gov. Reeder, reported the memorial. 1t sets
forth the complaints against Gov. Reeder,
from the beginning Of his administration;
says be is d clog to the wheels Of good GOV
eminent, and asks for his speedy removal
The memorial makes eight pages, aud is pref
ty well written.
The House resolved to go into joint session
Thursday morning, the 18th, at ten O'Clock,
to sign the memorial to the President, ask
ing for the removal of Reeder, and to appoint
a suitable person to convey it to Washinton
at once.
Tho House and Council met this morning,
jointly, and all but the absentees by permits
sion from sickness, signed the memorial.
Mr.. Houston, the only Free Soil member
is absent it is thought for the remainder of
the session. He left hurriedly on Saturday
last, and was here but two days.
The following dispatch shows that the bu-
siness was promptly concluded:
SHAWNEE Mission, July 26, 8 P. NJ.
The bearer of the memorial to the Pres.
ident is Major Andrew Mcdonald, of the
Council, from the Douglas District. Major
Mcdonald WAS formerly from Northwestern
Virginia. lie starts Immediately, and will
go by the quickest route. DR.. Stringfellow
was first elected, but declined.
The President, it will be seen, did not wait
for the arrival of the memorial at Washing
ton. He had of course been advised from
day to day by telegraph of tthe want Of har-
meny in the legislative machinery, and had
probably dete, mined to remove Gov. Rceder
sometime before the action of the Mob Leg
islature asking him to do so. 1t is not i'm
probable, indeed, that the step was termia-
ed upon even before his return to Kansas af-
ter his long absence.
For Governor Reeder's fate we have no re-
greet. A certain degree Of merit ought, per-
haps, to be accorded &c him for having with
stood the Irregular proceedings of the mob.
though considerable deduction must be made
from that merit-by his course since the Leg
islature has teen in session. Knowing the
majority of the Legislature to have been

ly quite willing to cooperate. with them for he
legallzation of slavery in Kansas, and the
only alleged ground for his vetoes as the
removal Of the Legislature to the Shaw
nee Mission. If they had remained at Paw
nee, their is no reason to suppose he would
have interpossd his veto to thwart their
schemes. At most, the only difference be-
tween Governor Reeder and the Legislature

seemed to take pleasure in trampling on all
to its legitimate conclusion, while the former
wished to preserve the forms of the law in
accomplishing the same purpose.
1t is to be presumed that Mr.. Dawson has
| been chosen as Gov. Reeder's successor with
reference to his willngness--to cooperate
heartily with the Mob Legislature. The
President took no steps to check the violen,
awiessness by which the people of Kansas
were deprived Of q fair representation; be
has uttered no word Of condemnation of that
Law iessness since; aHd now the Inference
Is fair that he has given it his approval
Mr.. Dawson represented the Goth District OF
Pennsylvania ia the House of Representa-
tlves of the last Congress, and gave his &c
tive support to the Kansas Nebraska bill =
The President knows his man. Nobody
can do anything as Governor of Kansas but
one who is prepared to float with the pro sln-
very current, and doubtless Mr.. Dawson has
made up his mind to that. We have no hope
that he will do any good there, and limo res
pect is he to be cnvied for his position -
