walkers party have also issued their news-
paper, the Nicaraguan. We have received
the first number, or at least that portion of it
published in English, which is dated at Ora
NADIA, and is filed for the most part with an
account of the military exploits of the fill
busters, and with Qualifications of General
walker" 1t also contains a contemptuous
notice of the deplorable condition of Kinney
and his few remaining followers; intimatinp
the purpose of Walker to send an expedition
down TO San Juan to arrest the whole party, in
order to push them as invaders of Nicaragua,
hliibusters, robbers!!! &c, &c. We have
not been able to understand precisely how
much OF Walkers late success is attributable
to the alleged recent completely of the Transit
Company in his schemes. 1t is, however. very
certain that the reinforcement from San Fran.
cisco, that enabled W alker to take Granada
came down on the Transit Company's steamer,
1t Is said with the knowledge of the company's
othcers on the Pacific side. Without these re.
sruits, Walker could not possibly have She
ceeded, nor could his affairs have been in their
present flourishing condition but for the aid
and comfort the Transit Company IS officers and
boats gave him on the Lake. The firing into
the San Carlos steamer was evidently the re.
suit Of the act Of the company in taking sides
in the civil war. We confess that we have no
information coming by the last arrival except
that with which all the other journals have
been furnished; and on that alone we are
now commenting. The most important result
OF the late occurrences there bids fair to be
TO compel the Government of the United States
to decline taking any further care whatever of
theinterest of the Transit Company, which can
not be party to the civil war in Nicaragua

ment Of the United States We await detailed

Kansas Matters.

From the Kansas Herald OF Freedom. April 7.
We understand the Governor has deter
mined to submit the recent contested elec-
ton cases in this territory to the Attorney
General OF the United States for his opin.
ion. Governor Reeder claims that by
the act of Congress organizing Kansas
the power was vested in the Executive Of
deciding who were legally elected as rep
resentatives to the Legislative Assembly;
and that no person is entitled to seat in
that body unless he has a certificate of
election. attested by the Territorial seal,
with the Governors signature. The Mis-
sourians on the other hand, claim that the
Governor has exceeded his authority in
defining in his proclamation who were
electors; that they under the law, had as
valid right to vote as any bona tfde resi-
den; of the territory; that he had no pow
er to require an oath from the judges OF
the election, or from the voter as TO his
citizenship; and that the legislature, when
convened, was the only tribunal vested
with authority 10 examine into contested
cases. and decide who were entitled TO
seats

The Kinney Cclon;zing Project.

Col. Kinney and some OF his associates
have been indicted by the Grand Jury
upon the charge OF attempting to violate
the neutrality laws. OF course we know
nothing of the evidence upon which this
action is founded, except-as is all cases
before Grand Juries-ihat il is ca parte.
Whatever may be the Colonel's ul,erior
purposes in Nicaragua, with the letter Of
Mr.. Marcy, which we published the other
day, to guide him, it seems scarcely pos.
sible that the Colonel has been so impru-
dent as to subject himself Justly to the
serious charge preferred against him.
The indictment apparently has been OBJ
tanned by procurement Of unofficial par
ties; for il is 10 be pr, sumeG that il the
Government were prepared to initiate steps
against Kinney's enterprise, the District
Attorney and u. S. Marshall would not
have awaited for the action by the Grand
Jury.
Ii this turns out to be true, an exami-
nation will be likely TO lead TO their release
from custody, as they certainly cannot be
held for trial upon evidence deemed in
sufficient to warrant action by the Fed
eral officers. Ii. on the other hand, Col.
Kinney, or any OF those associated with
him, has stated that he designs. with the

Return of aoyernor Reed.r.

Governor Reeder, of the Territory OF
Kansas, arrived at Easton, Pa, on the
3Oth ultimo, and met with an enthusiastic
reception from his friends and former
neighbors. He reached Phillipsburgh at
noon. and was there met and escortedslo
the Court House Square, in Easton, by
large concourse Of citizens. On arriving
at the Court. House, he was welcomed BY
J. M. Porter, Esq, who complimented tho
Governor on the able manner in which he
had discharged the duties Of his office.
Governor Reeder, in reply, expressed
in feeling manner and in eloquent terms
the greatful impression made by the warm
and enthusiastic reception given by 90
large an assembly OF his fellow citizens.
He referred to the reports OF fraud and
outrage upon the part OF the slavery men
in the Kansas election, and emphatically
confirmed the very worst statement which
had preceded his arrival. He said his
opinions on the subject Of popular soyer-
eighty had undergone no change, but tho
conduct Of the people on the border coun.
ties of Missouri had astounded and 4.
mazed him by their reckless disregard OF
all laws. compacts and constitutions.
The Territory of Kansas had been in.
vaded by regular organized army, arm-
ed to the teeth, who took possession Of the
ballot boxes. and made up a legislature 10
suit the purposes Of the proslavery party.
Kansas was subdued, suijngaied and con.
quered by armed men from Missouri, but
her citizens were resolved never 10 give
up their fight for freedom and the inde-
pendence OF their soil from foreign con.
troll and interference. Missouri would be
called upon to disavow all sympathy with
these border ruffians; and il she refused,
the south would be called upon 10 dis
countenance her. If the South refused,
The solemn duty would devolye upon the
North to take up the matter. SO that the
rights Of her sons, who have settled in
Kansas on the faith Of solemn compacts,
shall be vindcated and sustained.
He declared that the accounts OF the
fierce outrsges and wild violences perpe-
trated at the late election in Kansas, 90
published in the Northern papers. were
rot exaggerated. and he concluded by
saying that Kansas was now conquered
country conquered by force OF arms; but
thesscit,zens were resolved never to yield
their rights, and he relied upon the Notsh
TO aid them by demonstrations OF public
sentiment and all other Legal smeans. till
they shall be fully and triumphantly vim.
! dicated.
