GOV. REEDER's SUSPENSION.

I, is reported that Gov. Reeder, on ar:iv.
ing at the Shawnee Mission on Monday
night last, found letter from Secretary
Marcy informing him tina, he was suspend
ed. A meaner act, we conceive. was never
consumma,ed BY any Administration
Frank Pierce, for that act, deserves the
condemnation Of every American citizen.
Without, manliness to ascribe his motive to
its real cause, he prstsnds il was done for
the Governors speculation in Kaw lands.
What are the facts in regard 10 those
landsl A number Of halibreed Indians
each purchased Of Government a quantity
OF the public domain 10 the amount Of one
mile square, and located il on the north side
of Kansas River, living between the Della
ware lands on the east, and the Po,iawalta-
ME lands on the west, making a strip one
mile wide and thirty miles long. North Of
this strip was The preiiiest prairie in Kansas,
and oil open TO settlement; but thee was
no way TO get TO the river, because these
lands Of the Kaw Indians in,ervenet. Gov.
Reeder, Judges Johnston and Elmore, and
District Attorney Isacks saw this, aud they
conceived the proprie;y OF buying up few
sections, no doub, contemplating they would
ultimately be greatly enhanced in value.
Accordingly they entered into an arrans-
ment with the Indians by which il was
agreed to convey certain lands 10 the above
parties for SO an acre, as soon as the bar.
gain should be sanctioned by the Indian
Agen, and ratified by the President Until
this was done ], was no contract. The In
dian Agen, has never sanctioned the agrees
ment, neither has il been submitted 10 the
President for his approval-consequenlly
no harm has or can accrue 10 any one in
Of the negotiations which
passed between Gov. Reeder aud his friends
on the one hand and the Indians on the
other.
That Kansas would have been real
gamer by the arrangement no man at all
acquainted with the condition OF things
would doubt for moment. The lands all
around there could be Dough, from Govern
men, for rs an acre, but because persons
could not reach the river with their produce
they have been induced to settle in other
localities. We were over these lands
few weeks ago, and found them as valuable
as any in the Territory, and yet they are
entirely passed by, for the very good reason
that there is no certainty Of their having
a market in the future on the river.

The Gubernatorial Challenge.

The Argus hardly knows how to get round
the direct and manly challenge which GOV
Morrill, has given TO Judge Wells, to DIS.
cuss the Maine Law before the people, on
the issue raised bv tho Judge himself. IL
fogs over the shyness OF its candidate with
its own confused understanding Of the issue
rendered. II affects TO wonder that the Gov.
does no. assume the defensive. and quietly
await oyery attack upon the Maine Law
II is enous ii to say that Judge Wells has
made q most comprehensive attack in TIE
outset-he has thrown down his glove
Gov. Morrill, offers to meet him on his cwn
terms. Can anything be more fair! Can
any excuse avail the Judge for backing down
from the defiant position which no hrst
took!
At Alfred, the Judge opened the campaign
by speaking Of the Maine Law in the most
abhorrent terms-as cruel, unconstitutional
and barbarous, beyond any that had been
enacted since the days Of the revolution
These were the points no made, where he
had no opposition-and It is to be presumed
he meant to demonstrate them in his subse-
quent efforts. Will he undertake IL in the
presence of Gov. Morrill,! IL is all very
well for the Argus to shit the issue and go
to talking vigorously about something else
what the people wish to know is, has
Judge Wells the honesty and holiness to
stick to his own words! Has no the cour;
age to maintain them in the face Of opposi.
toni Did he commence the campaign with
mere electioneering barney, or did he utter
language which he is afraid to reiterate to
his rival and the people! Or, have his
friends found that his expressions Of the 4th
were like the Nebraska bill in his estima.
