had undergone no change, but that the conduct
of the people of the border counties OF the
North of Missouri had astonished and amazed
him bv their reckless disregard of all laws, COM
pacts and constitutions that the Territory OF
Kansas. in her late election had been invaded
by a regular organized army, armed to the
teeth. who took possession Of their ballot-boxes
and made a Legislature to suit the purposes of
the pro-slayery party. Kansas was subdued
subiugatcd and conquered by armed men from
Missouri, but her citizens were resolved never
to give up the fight for their freedom and the
independence OF their soil from foreign control
or interference. The State of Missouri would
be called upon TO dsayow all sympathy with
these border ruilians. If she refused, the South
would be called on to discountcnance her. If
the South refuse, the solemn duty would de-
volye upon the North to take up the matter so
that the rights of her sons who had settled in
Kansas in the faith of solemn compacts shall
be yindicated and sustained He declared that
the accounts of the fierce outrages and wild
vlolences perpetrated at the election, published
in the northern papers, were in no wise eXag-
gerated. He concluded by saying that Kansas
was now a conquered country-conquered by
force Of arms-but that her citizens were re-
solved never to yield their rights, and relied
upon the North to aid them by demonstrations
of public sentiment and all other legal MEANS
until they shall be fully and triumphantly vim
dicated.
During his speech Gov. REEDER was frequent
ly and enthusiastically cheered by the large au-
dience present.

LOOK OUT FOR BILLS!

In this number of the Reporter, we enclose
to such of our subscribers as are in arrears,
bills of the amount made out to the close OF the
present yolume-June 9th. We do this to
give those in arrears notice of the amount they
are indebted to us and fair warning that, in
pursuance of our new arrangements, the paper
will in every instance be discontinued where
proper attention is not paid.
These bills are made at the rate Of 50 sol
every case, except where the time is less than
one year This has been the price of the Re
porter since its establishment but as we are
anxious to make settlement of every account
upon our books, we stand ready to deduct at
the rate of 81 year upon these accounts, uu-
til the 9th of June, when we shall hand them
over to an officer for settlement and as that
will involve further expense, no deduction will
be made.
Some of our subscribers to whom we send
bills are less than one year in arrears. AS
they are generally the best and most prompt
of our subscribers, we make them this offer -
By sending us one dollar they shall have credit
for one year, covering the time in arrears
Many of the accounts are small-and we do
this for our mutual accommodation.
Mistakes may have occurred in making out
these bills. If such is the case, we shall take
pleasure in making them straight. We have
also upon our books an amount of Indebtedness
for advertising, &c. We shall also expect that
persons indebted to us in that manner, will
promptly square their accounts.
We have the utmost confidence that those
now finding themselves in arrears, will give the
matter their speedy attention. The terms which
we have adopted are better for all, and we now
ask those upon whom we have waited for years,
to come forward, and do us justice. If this
appeal fails, we shall next try what virtue there
is in Constables.

OMssIoN.-Upon an examination of a correct
copy of the new License Law of this State, we
noticed that clause relating to the granting
of Licenses to Merchants, Brewers, and Lager
beer Sellers was omitted in our publication of
last week. 1t does away with the power
formerly invested in city and county Treasurers,
of granting license from this time forward
The following is copy of the clause, and
should follow after the end of Section 4.
Prorided fmrther.-That so much of any
act or acts of assembly, as requires license
from city or County Treasurer, to authorize
the sale of spirituous, vinous or malt liquors be
and the same is hereby repealed"

DESTRUCTIVE SToRM.-On Friday afternoon
last, Perry county was visited by one of the
most destructive storms of wind, rain, and hail
that has probably occurred during the last thir-
ty years. Fences were Frustrated, and scat
tered in all directions in some places The spre
surmounting the dome of the Court House, was
quite perceptibly bent towards the east. At
the Juniata Furnace the rayages of the storm
are seen on every hand. The wheel-house,
bridge-house, eoalhouse, carpenter shop, black
smith shop, office and store room, and the large
substantial barn were all blown down. Of the
barn, which was well constructed, the only
thing remaining in their former position is the
foundation of stone. A large number of trees
were Frustrated.

ARREST OF Col. KINNEY.-On Friday last
Col. Kinney was arrested by an U. S. Marshal
on bench warrant, found on an indictment of
the grand jury of the United States District
Court The indictment is understood to have
originated with Attorney G eneral Gushing, but
the names of the signers of the afidavits
authorizing the proceeding have not TRANSFERRED
The Colonel at once surrendered himself to the
custody of the Marshal, in which he remained
for the night.
At the opening of the court Saturday morn
ing, Col Kinney appeared to answer the in
dictment, which charges him with fitting out a
military expedition within the United States.
He answered to the charge by his counsel,
Messrs Fancher & Eager, and offered any bail
which the court might require, asking through
his counsel, an early trial for the case. The
court (Judge Hall, presiding,) ordered the
prisoner to be discharged from the bench
warrant, upon giving the recognizance of HIM
self and two sureties in the sum of $4,000 !;
the sureties being residents of the district, and
tojustify before the United States Commissioner
in the sum of $4,000 each.
The Colonel then left the court and proceed
ed before the Commissioner and gave the
required bail. The second Monday in May
was assigned for the trial Warren Leland,
ESQ.,, of the Metropolitan Hotel and Capt
John Graham, owner of the steamer United

The OXFORD RIor.-The Times published at

marvellous got the better of his discretion.

only reason why said member was not bribed
to vote for Dr. Jayne for United States senator,
was because he promptly and firmly resisted
and resented the attempt to seduce him from
the path of rectitnde.
1t may be suggested, in pallation of this
manifest attempt at corruption, that DR.. Jayne
was inexperienced in politics, and was betrayed
into this violation of both law and morals, in
the excitement of a Leated contest, and acted
under an impression that rival candidates were
using the same means.
"1'he Hon. Lewis G.. Levin was also a cand-
date, for the United States Senate or at least
intended to become one, upon certain con-
tingency referred to in the evidence. 1t seems
by the testimony, he intended to raise some
thirty Or forty thousand dollars, partly in con-
nection with this object, and partly for other
purposes, but how much of the fund for each,
does not appear.
Railroad bonds to the amount of 4 200,
and letters of credit for others and less sums
were raised by him prior to and not long be-
fore the time fixed for the election of United
States Senator. The railroad bonds were taken
in payment of a debt he had right to con-
tract, but was received with declarations re-
ferring to the contingency of his becoming a
candidate but there is no evidence that any
portion of the fund so raised was used corruptly
by him. or that any attempt was made SO to
use it by any one, except it may be inferred
from what'is said to have transpired at the ar-
pointed interview between John F. Herr, of
the House, and Mr.. David Mullinger, of the
Senate.
"As to the other candidates whose names
were before the legislature for the Office of
United States Senator, there is no evidence
calculated to implicate either of them in the
fairness of any efforts that may have been made
by them in connection with this high and hon.
orable Office"
The bill to erect new county out of Luzerne
was lately referred to committee of confer
ence, as the two branches of the legislature diff
fered But the Committee was in like manner
unable to agree, and so the bill fell Mr.. Dun
MING then introduced a new bill into the House
which passed that branch through all its read
ings
The House had disposed of the general APP
preparation Bill, after Incorporating it in an
appropriation of 5000, 900 for the re-laying
the south track of the Columbia Railroad, and
authorizing the Huntingdon and Broad-Top
Railroad Company to build basin and weigh
lock, at Huntingdon, and receive drawback
on tolls, on the Pennsylvania canal, not exceed
ing 5000. The salaries of the Judges of the
| several Courts remain undisturbed.

ANOTHER CASE OF CONTEMPT OF CoURr.-A
case very similar TO that Of Passmore william
son recently occurred in the State Of Indians.
The common pleas prosecutor Of Nanderbarg
county had the clerk of that court sworn ia
open court, and put to him the general ques-
ton . Do you know Of any violations Of the
penal laws! !' The clerk refused TO answer
the question, on the ground of its illegality
The court held the question a proper one; aud
on his again refusing to answer, the clerk was
sent to Jail for contempt. A writ of habeas
corpus was obtained from Judge Davidson, of
the Supreme Court, and the case examined
before him. The court held that, although
the question was an improper one, and the
witness not bound to answer il, yet every court
must Judge for itself what constitutes contempt
cf its authority, and no other could interfere
To correct its acts in such matters.

DIR. j. X Mitchell, Of the Jefferson College,
Philadelphia, ia le:turing to his pupils upon
tie diseases OF the heart, narrated an anecdOte
in proof that the expression broken hearted
was not merely hguratiye. On one occasion,
in the early period of his life, he accompanied,
rs 4 Surgeon, packet that sailed from Liver
pool 10 one Of the American ports The
captain frequently conversed with him re-
Spccting lady who had promised TO become
his bride on his return from that voyage
Upon this subject be eyinced great warmth Of
feeling. and showed DR.. Mitchell some costly
jewels, ornaments, &c which he intended to
present IS bridal presents. Ga reaching his
destination he was abruptly informed that the
lady had married some one else. Instantly
the captain was observed 70 clap his hand to
his breast, and fall heavily to the ground.
He Was taken up and conveyed TO his cabin
on board of the vessel. DR.. Mitchcll was i'm
mcdiately summoned, but before he reached
the poor captain he was dead. A post NOR
TEN examination revealed the cause Of his
unfortunate disease. His heart was found
literally torn in twain. T5e tremendous
propulsion Of blood consequent upon such a
VIOLENT nervous shock, forced the powerful
muscular tissues asunder, and life was at an
end

COAL EEINON FIRE.-The rare phenomenon
OF a coal vein on fire is now SO be seen at Bea-
yer Meadows, Pa. The fire originated from
the outside dirt heap, and thence cOmmuni-
Gated to the vein, filling the subterranean
dering its abandonment necessary until the
fire can be arrested and extinguished. This,
however, is very difficult and expensive pro-
cess, but is usually accomplished by walling
up all the air currents, and heading off with
clay) the progress Of the fire, AMI then inject
ing the mine with ste am. A fire in a coal
vein prevailed in the vicinity Of Tamaoua for
several years, and no doubt consumed lens Of
thousands OF tons of coal before it could be
extinguished, which was finally accomplished
few weeks ago.
