very much like that of an iron vice. He is a
great Wing politician, and was warm friend
of Paole. His age is about thiry-f five.
DANIEL CUNNINGHAM


! Cunningham is in bad health He is con-
sumptives A paper-staner by trade, he is too
/ ill to do any work. He cherishes deep regard
for Morrissey, takes him home when be is be-
side himself with liquor, lies down on the sofa
to keep him from going out again till heais
thoroughly sober, and exercises kind of
fraternal protection over him; on the night of
the quarrel this gentlema took Morrissey under
his wing and got him home, and kept him
there. Cunningham is twenty-six years old.
saa oY. SHAY AND THE REST OF THEM uies{
Cy Shay was an intimate of Poole's. He
wept over him when he was shot, and has been
a. witness for the defense in this scase. His
character as man of truth and Yeraeity has
been iinpeached by persons onthe stand dur
ing this trial. We believe he has the reputa-
ton Of being a Scotchman; further than this,
his person history is unknown.
Turner, James Irving, Harvey Young, and
the rest of the parties whose names are br6hghs
lin question, are not SO particularly prominent
in the annals as to call for special portrait.
We have indicated the peculiarities Of the
prominent individuals. The fate of those who
are implicated in this Poole tragedy viii prob
ably be governed by the result in the case of
Baker who is at present on trial alone. :.
Meanwhile the interest of the public in the
progress of the trial remains unabated, and the
readers appetite is sharpened by the daily
Developments ofthe case. dega gf
1t seems odd that two opposing bodies ofmer
of this stamp should be able to find play in one
city, large even as New York is, for the exer-
else of their calling; and still more curious,
that an event of this character brings them all
together for the public inspection within the
limits of single confined courtroom. Such
scene is not likely to occur again for lorg
time to come, as has not happened for very
long period past - eos - @s-.-
Two classes of fighting men, it seems, exist.
One set is known as artists, ths Others are
suckers" 1t is distinction, but looks very
much like distinction without difference.
An artists" is a gentleman who knocks d
mans brainsendways only by special arrange
ment that is to say, a prize-fghter, who does
up your little affair scientifically. A sucker"
on the contrary, is in fighting parlance, man
Iwho bites and gouges, and mauls all occa-
|sions and is not scientific man. There is
great professional delicacy about these terms
land as the TIMES wouldn't on any account
misrepresent anybody, it has yirtuously abb
stained from classifying any individual of this
i "crowd" as either an 'artist" ora sucker"
1t is difficult to decide when doctors disagree.

Misoellaneous Articles. ao.


In consequence of the continued indis-
position of the editor, We are again COM
PEELED to give variety of miscellaneous
articles on the outside of our paper this
week-as was the case last week-instead
OF matters pertaining exclusively to the
Territory, as would have been desirable.
A very largo amount of labor is required
to fill sheet weekly, of the size of the
Herald Of Freedom, with articles entirely
pertaining to the interests of Kansas. Ii
may be possible that we shall not be able
at all times to find such articles as we
NAV desire to enrich our outside forms
in that case, unless we can enlist the aid
of correspondents, weshall be compelled,
as a last resort, to select miscellaneous
matter, endeayoring to find that which is
the most instructive and useful.
As soon as spring opens, every portion
of the Territory will be explored by trav-
clers, and we trust, by making arrange
ments with them, to give fuller details Of
descriptions aud observations than could
be done by any other method. In con-
sequence of the ineiemency of theweather,
and the impossibility of procuring food
and shelter when night comes on, our
TouRIsr has found /. necessary to circum-
scribe his journeyings for the present,
but will resume them g at q more conyen-
lent season."

A Fine Building.

The Emigrant Aid Company has just
closed a contract with our friend S. n
SIMPSON for the erection of their COM
modious hotel in this city, to be complet-
ed by the first of May next. Tie
building is to be of wood, fifty feet by
seventy on the ground, and three and a
half stories in height, exclusive of the
basement, which is of stone, and now
nearly ready for the frame The work
is to be finished in the modern style oil
architecture, and will be an ornament to
the city. Mr. Simpson has made con
tract with our friends JOKES d. GLEASON
for the mechanical work, which we feel
confident viii be executed ina satisfactory
manner As the hotel is on the corner
of Massachusetts, and Winthrop streets,
directly opposite our Office. we, shall
watch Its completion with interest, as it
must necessarily be the center of travel
in Lawrence for long time to come.

ScolndreI Arrested.

A fellow by the name OF LUcIEN AY-
ER, formerly OF New Hampshire, wastried
in Rockingham county, some three years
ago, and being at liberty on bail, escaped
before the jury brought in their verdict.
Latterly, it appears he has been figuring
rather conspicuously as the president
of the Kansas Bank" aud passing OF
large numbers of bills on that institution
to persons in New York, Boston, DE.
He was arrested, and is now in Exeter
jail, N. H., awaiting the sentence of the
court at the February term for his former
infringement of the Law, the jury having
found him guilty. We are aware of no
Kansas Bank. save it be that which graces
the beautiful river, which gave origin to
the name of our Territory.

Census.

-
We are under compliments to CIV.
BABcocK, Esq, for an incomplete copy
of the census of the city of Lawrence,
which he is now taking, and for which
he viii accept our thanks. From bis re-
port, it appears there are upwards of four
hundred inhabitants within theeiiy limits.
The number is considerably smaller than
at any other period during the last few
months; as many have recently gone east
to arrange business matters. and bring on
their families on the first opening of
spring navigation. The list is also un-
finished, as our friend had not succeeded
in meeting with all who should have been
registered. Those who are not informed
that they have been registered, should dsee
DIR. B. Immediately, and see that their
names are entered.
We shall withhold the tabular state
ment until we get the list complete.
which we shall be under renewed ebIiga-
tons to Mr. BABcock if he viii furnish US.

In Consrass

We observe, by the proceedings oI
Congress. that our Delegate. Hon. ]. ".
WHITFIELD, has introduced bill in the
House providing for the establishment Of
post roads from Fort Leasenworth to Fort
Riley. with a branch intersecting it al
Douglas and Tecumseh. Our friends
at Topeka, We learn. are left cut of the
arrangement altogether. They should
lose no time in forwarding a statement Of
facts to our Delegate, and invite him to
arrange the line passing through this
place to be extended to that point. As
soon as the routs is established, the Post
master General should be importuned TO
give Us daily mail. as nothing less than
this win meet the wants of the heavy bu-
siness interests already growing up in the
Kansas valley.

Times a. the Hast.

a letter from our General Agent al
Buffalo, gives gloomy account of busi-
ness matters In the East. Hesays every
where thousands are out of employment,
and poor-houses are overiowing with H.
mates. The most promising business
firms are crushing daily, and ruin seems
depicted on every hand. Money there
is none. Those in middling eircumstan-
ces, who can get hold oft, are compelled
to lay it out at once for provisions. The
most stringent mode of collections bring
no relief. What shall be done is the
inquiry.
Why, come to Kansas. of course, and
aid in making this new and fertile Terri
tory the garden Of the world. That is
the best relief We can extend to those who
are suffering from the pressure of hard
times in the East.
We saw an article in an eastern ex-
change a few days ago, describing the
wretchedness and suffering of the citizens
of Lawrence, and urging the raising of
funds there TO send to our aid. We were
about penning an article proposing the
raising of means to extend relief to our
eastern brethren; but when We found
they were proposing aid to Us We con-
cIuded they were not suffering As bad as
had been reported. and consequently
withheld our exertions in their behalf

Encouraging

We are informed by gentleman who
has recently returned from visit to Su-
gar Greek. which is nearly 80 miles south
of this city, and about 40 miles south Of
the head waters of the Marais des Cygnes.
that the country in that vicinity is rapidly
filing up with settlers. Already there
are l5o voters. Nearly half are from
Missouri: and large majority are IN
favor of making Kansas free State. He
said there were only about twenty in that
vicinity who are in favor Of slavery.
