The fate Of that Territory hangs in
even balance. The Shareholders of Mis-
souri,, under the lead of Atchison, organ
lied a secret combination, by which the
election of Delegate to Congress was de-
cided in their favor Emboldened by the
success of that proceeding, they are now
preparing TO control the elections for the
Legislature in the spring. They are hold
ing greetings, making threatening speeches
against "Abolitioniss, ''and passing fierce
resolutions to intilnidatc emigration from
the North. Shareholders in Missouri in
tend again to take possession of the bal
lot-box in Kansas. Such is squatter SOW
ereignty in practice.
In the first place it was attempted to
cheat the people with the old story that
slavery would not 90 there. So said the
supineless Eyerett-so shareholders and
services. This failed, and the next dodge
to escape the indignation of society, was
to purloin the credit of anti-slavery emf
grafton, and proclaim that by it Kansas
was sure to become free State. See,
said they. how admirably popular SOW
ereignty," though slandered, inures to
freedom. The next thing that walked
them up to the beauties of their doctrine,
was the triumph of drunken Missourians
over the Kansas ballot-box, with fearful
danger that the Territory will be finally
lost to liberty. Such stupendous villaiay
as repealed or supports the repeal of the
law Of liberty in that country, has rarely
been equaled by human depravity. o.
the tears, the agonies, the curses that will
yet gather upon their heads
If Kansas is lost, nothing to human
views can be saved to liberty in all that
center of the continent. Slavery will be
secure in Missouri; it will seize all the
territory west of Kansas and south of it ];
the Indian tribes viii be extcrmiaated be-
fore it; whatever of Nebraska is worth
anything will probably be also lost, and
hope for Utah, New Mexico, and every
portion of Texas, will expire. Before
this power liberty in California. now fee
bic, Will also speedily falI, and slavery
sweep the whole Pacific coasti Allthis,
and whatever may he beyond, turns upon
Kansas as its pivot If liberty can make
a stand there. the opposite of all this NAV
be reasonably anticipated.
1t is in the power of the free states to
carry emigration enough there to control
the result, but we fear there is not force
of will enough. The courage, If not the
integrity of freeHnen in Congress is i'm
paired. while the slave power and its min
ions, North aad South, are cheered with
new hope Although our hope for free
dom IN those Territories has been very
slight without congressional prohibition,
yet we earnestly hope robust men viii go
there and prosecute the struggle with un-
filnching energy. The example would
greatly aid the friends of liberty IN Con-
gress. and we believe success would in
some way crown their efforts Portland,

Can anybody tell why the Missourians,
who made such an onslaught on Lawrence
on Friday last. were induced to bring two
cannon here with them? They must
have been consummate towards to- have
supposed such weapons necessary, after

EV ENING STAR
TIE LIEUTENANT aENlRaIsKIp.

The following is copy of the joint
resolution which passed the House O,
Representatives, on Monday last, and
which is at present exciting some atten.
ton:
A RESOLUTION authorizing the Prcsi 'ent of
the Unitet States to confer the title of Lie .
tenant General by Ireyet, for eminent ser.
vices.
Rsso ued, &C., That the grade of lien
tenant general be, and the same is hereby
revived in the army Of the United States,
in order that when, in the opinion of the
President and Senate, it shall be deemed
proper to acknowledge eminent services
Of major general of tie army in the
late war with Mexico, in the mole al
ready provided for in subordinate grades,
the grade of acknowledgement may be
specially conferred by brevet, and by
brevet only, to take rank from the date
o. such service or services Provided,
hopeuer, That when the said grade of
lieutcnant-genera by breyet shall have
once been filled and have become vacant.
this joint resolution shall thereafter ex.
pire AID be of no effect.
The section Of the &C. of Congress
which established the grade of lieutenant
general was passed on the 2S;h of May.
1898, and is as follows, Fifth Congress,
session 2, chapter AZ, 1882
SEC 5 And be 1t further enacied, Tha,
whenever the President shall deem it ex-
pedient, he is hereby empowered TO ap.
point, by and with the advice and con-
sent OF the Senate, a commander of the
army which may be raised by virtue O;
this act, and who, being commissioned s
lieutenant general, may be authorized TO
command the armies of the United Sta es.
and stall lie entitled to the following Dc y
and emOluments, viz: $3.50 monthly paw,
$50 monthly allowance for forage, when
the same shall not be provided by the
United States, and forty ra,ions per day.
or money in lieu thereof at the current
price shall have authority to an.
point, from time to time, such number Of
aids, not exceeding four, and secretaries,
not exceeding two, as he may Judge
proper, each to have the frank, paw and
emoluments of lieutenant-colenel.
The Mexican war transpired in the
year l047, and the pay of an officer with
the rank of acknowledgement, as pro-
vided in the act of 1893, from that date
to the present, would amount to more
than five thousand dollars. 1t will be
seen that there is attached to the grade
OF acknowledgement staff of six per-
sons-four lieutenant colonies, and two
secretaries, each with the rank and pay
of lieutenant colonel.
