The Murder.

The border papers saythat noyiolence

late War in Kansas, save the coming in
collision of the picket guard. when each
party fred upon the other, and Free

THOMAS BARRIER was passing on his way
homeward on the highway. about noon,
in company with two of his relatives
Mr.. Barber's party was unarmed, save
one of them had a single revolver in his
pocket. Neither party were ofthe pick

sons were on their way from Lecompton
to Franklin. Doctor, alias, Judge JSo.

Beware Of Telegraph Reports.

We desire the Eastern press to be on
their guard against the infamous false
hoods which are, and will be, sent over
the telegraph wires in regard to Kansas
matters. The wires along the border are
wholly in the hands of the ''Border Ruff
fans" and it has been found impossible
to get any sort of a dispatch, even in cy-
pher. to the East, emapating from Free
State men in Kansas. One would sup
pose, from reading the dispatches in
Eastern papers, that our people were en-
tirely in the wrong in the ''late war -
and from the reports the reports the Ruff
fans gave on their return TO Missouri
which, probably. were also dispatched
East, in regard to the settlement-we
can Judge of the character they gave US
We were undoubtedly represented as the
vilest bathrooms that ever went unhung.
Will our exchanges aid US in putting
the press and people on their guard
against these infamous calumniators in
regard to Kansas?

Outrage upon the Ballot Box.

Leayenworth was again the scene of
violence on the 18th inst. the time ap-
pointed to vote upon the State Constitu-
ton. The polls were regularly opened
at the appointed time, and nothing wor-
thy of note transpired until about noon,
while the people were absent at dinner.
one person only being left in charge OF
the ballot-box and poll books. About
this time some thirty persons were seen
to cross the river from Missouri. Max
ing their way by different routes they
almost simultaneously appeared at the
place Of election. Finding the way
clear they broke in the window, en-
tered and took the ballos-box into their
possession, dragged the officer in at
tendance through the window, and beat
him until his life was despaired of.
The ballot-box they bore aloft in their
arms and rushed through the streets like
infuriated demons, shouting and cheer
ing as they went. Arriving at the leyee
they waved the box in the air, when they
were cheered from party of about fifty
who were collected on the opposite shore.
1t was understood that those on the OPP
posite shore, with quantity of others
who remained under cover in the woods
were reserved force, who we're to have
crossed over if their services were need
ed. The poll-books were also taken.
The voters of that district have got up
memorial to Congress touching the
subject, which win be sent with the Con-
stitution to that body.
1t does seem as if the millennium had
passed, and the Devil was again loosened
for a "litae season." We are, however,
of the conviction that right will ultimate
ly triumph, and that, though Satan RACES
for while like roaring ion," he will
find himself subdued and his kingdom
powerless.

Lo. the Little Giant.

The exploits of Jack the Giant-K Killer
have attained worldwide and enduring
fame, but not more of a reputation than
is in store for the Little Giant Corn
Crushsr, of Messrs. Scott & Hedges oil
this city. Recently rather novel match
between the Little Giant and another Corn
Crusher, we'll and favorably known in
this country, came offat Mansfield, Ohio.
The Gazette is furnished with letter
from q gentleman who witnessed the
contest, from which we make the follow
ing extract:
'.The grinding commenced with the
Little Giant. which ground given guam
tity of corn in sixty-three revolutions,
using two light horses on the No. mill,
which moved off easily and ground the
amount without stopping. A halfbush-
ell of meal was sifted and aboutone quart
out of the amount was found too coarse
to pass through the sieve. The COM
mittee that had been appointed to super
intend and decide the contest, then re-
paired to the Leavitt mill, when the
same amount of Germ was ground, which
required ssventy-three revolutions, al
though Mr.. Leavitt worked but on horse,
which was very heavy, stout enc, the
draft was evidently too hard for him, As
he stopped three times and was allowed
to rest. On sitting the meal there proved
to be FIVE or six quarts TOO coarse to pass
the sieve, instead of one as in the case of
the Little Giant"
Mr.. Hedges had offered valuable
silver cup to the owner ofany mill which
should grind faster than the Little Giant,
bat the above Crusher being the only
one expected to rival it, no others COM
peted. The cup, therefore, still remains
in possession of Mr.. Hedges. At the
opening of the contest the Little Giant
had but few friends, but after various
experiments there were none so obstinate
and blind Is to fail to SEQ and aeknowl-
edge Its superior merits. The Little
Giant is determined 70 do tremendous
business in the corn crushing line.-St.
