KANSAS, July 16, 1855

Governor Reeder's message to the Legislature of
Kansas is published. He contends for the right of
the people to settle their own affairs, uninfuenced
by other States. He says the Territorial Legisa-
ture may act the question of slavery to limit
ed and partial extent, and temporarily regulate it
in the Territory shows what laws are now in force
directs attention to definition of the boundaries
of counties and districts, and the qualification of
voters; recommends stringent Liquor Law, on ac-
count of the Indians thinks that light tax only
is required contends that pre-emptions may be
taxed; recommends the immediate establishment
of seat of government, and announces that the
population of the Territory is 1888 females, and
5,l33 males.
The Legislature fixed on Shawnee Mission as
the temporary seat of government. The Governor
vetoed the same, when the Legislature passed it
over the veto and adjourned to meet at Shawnee
Mission.

POST OFFICE RoBBERY-THE Thief SECURED
Four THOUSAND DOLLARS RECOVERED. The most
important arrest in the annals of Post Office depre
dations ever brought to light in this country was
made in this city on Saturday morning last by Al
Ian Pinkerton Special Mail Agent, assisted by
Deputy Sheriff Bulkley. The thief was clerk in
the Post Office in this city, and arrested in the
street as he was going to his breakfast. He was
thrown into CONSERVATION, he turned as pale as
ashes, and made an effort to throw away the money
on his person, which was prevented and he was
conveyed to the Jail and searched
The name of the wretched young man is Theo-
dore F. Denniston He is between Is and 80 years
of age and unmarried. His brother, Perry Tennis
ton, was arrested for the same crime in March last
and is now at liberty on bail for So, 800 The Dem
nistons understood to be nephews of Postmaster
Cook, and if this is the their opportunity to
commit these depredations upon the public is due
to the relationship. Their father lives in New Jer-
sey, and the sons, upon salary of fue sir hund-
red dollars year, have the credit of having pur-
chased and paid for a farm for him within the last
year or two.
On arresting Denniston, the officers went to his
boarding house and searched his room The search
was nearly concluded without finding any trace OF
his crimes, when officer Pinkerton decided to search
minutely and took the pictures down from the
walls. On removing the backs of several bank bills
to the amount of $3,738 were found concealed,
most of which were of large denomination The
money was distributed as follows: behind picture
of the Virgin Mary and the Immaculate Concep.
tion, Sl503 the Highland Lovers, 5000: the Indi-
an Warrior, $1,000; framed daguerreotype of his
mother, $500. In his desk was Sl35, which, with
that found on his person, makes nearly four thou
sand dollars recovered.
w. J. Brown, General Agent of the Post Office
Department, was in the city and visited Dennston
in the Jail Upon being told of the recovery of the
money he voluntarily confessed his crimes. Ho
says he had no accomplice, and that he never i'm
parted his secret to any one, that he did not COM
mence stealing letters until after the arrest of his
brother whose duties in the Office were the same as
his own, and of course each had the same opportu-
mites They were 'pilers; :; that is, they arranged
all the letters for Distribution and had good OPP
porunity to judge of the nature of their contents.
He states that he has burned all the letters; that
he never looked to see who they for, or from,
and cannot furnish any aid in restoring the money
to its right owners. The greater part of it was ta
ken in small sums, although one letter gave him
three hundred dollars He has been in the habit
of exchanging the money at the banks principally
for Eastern funds, and bills of large denomination.
The United States Courts meet to-day, and the
case will 60 Immediately before the Grand Jury

Japan expedition, is the discovery that the Zodacal
light is belt extending entirely around the earth,
after the manner of Saturn's ring. The matter
has excited good deal of interest among the as

SOUNDING THE NIAGARA BELOW THE SUSPENSION
BRIDGE On Thursday last we witnessed an at
tempt by the accomplished Engineer Roebling the
architect of the Railroad Suspension Bridge below
Niagara Falls, to measure the depth of the water
under the platform of the carriage way. This is
225 feet above the stream. Those who have stood
upon the Bridge, and watched the current below
will remember how rapidly, and with what SEEM
ingly irresistible force the vast volume of water
rushes laundering along to the narrow gorge be-
yond. Yet its surface at this point is unbroken
MIR. Roeblng attached a strong wire 45O feet
long, to plummet- shaped piece of smooth wrought
iron, prepared for the purpose, and which weighed
42 pounds, and suspended it from the bridge 50
feet above the water. 1t was let go, and with it
simultaneously the whole slack of the wire. The
sounding-ron struck point downwards- there was
a white streak of lightning-like zig-zag of foam
upon the water-the wire almost instantly jerked
against the rail of the bridge and stood out taut
at an angle of say 20 degrees Running it down
with the eye, there was discovered amid the
mencing breakers below, the great iron plummet,
dancing and skipping about on the top of the water
like playful trout. Soon the wire Stacked and
partially sunk. The 42 pound attachment at the
end had jerked loose and with Poole and numerous
other worthless was a goner'
The wire of the very best quality, and Of
the size and strength seemingly of that used i'll
winding the great cables ef the bridge. Mr.. Roe
bling will again try to sound the river and is con-
fdent that he will succeed. There is vague ru-
NOR down there that an English Navy Officer, two
years since, spent three days upon the old bridge
heaving the lead in the mighty waters and that
he actually brought up soundings from depth Of
$50 feet. He used hemp line. From the vastly
impatient manner in which we saw the WaterGod
cast off the restraints of thin WIRE salts
fed that that lead line, and those soundings, are
myths. Hawser Trunnon is out of his latitude'
on the Suspension Bridge, and above Niagaras
