not. We have no doubt that the Governor
has repeatedly declined to pardon criminals,

done the same This matter may safely lie
left to the sound Judgment and uniail-

The Outrage on Gov. Reeder of Kansas.
KANSAS CRY, Mo. June .

hANsAs tlrf, MO, June -, 1919
The country is again thrown into state
of intense excitement, by the attempted perpe-
tration of an outrage upon the person OF Gov.
Reeder, at his quarters of Shawnee Mission.
about nine miles from this place. The facts.
as | am able to give them, are undoubtedly
reliable. Ii appears that the Governor was
sitting alone in his Office, his Secretary, Mr.
Lowrcy, being sick and confined to his room
at the time, when the well known General
Str'ngfelOw entered. He was courtcouslv
received, and after n general preliminary
conversation, in which he dilated upon the
influence and control he would have over the
present legislature, and the great excitement
existing in Missouri against Gov Reeder, he
made two propositions to the Governor-onc
being that the Governor should sanction any
bill that should be passed to punish the tam
pering with slaves in the territory, OF the ut
tering of abolition sentiments, and the other
that he recommend in his message that the
legislature adjourned to Shawnee Mission ,on
the border of Missouri The Governor re-
piled that, although in favor of a free state,
he was willing and thought it quito proper
that temporary protection be given to slave
property in the territory, until the question
be properly decided f.; but that he could not
promise to sanction bill he had never seen,
and much less could he agree to bill max
ing the penalty for minor offences death, as
he had heard proposed, and that he would
not officially recommend the legislature to
adjourn TO Shawnee Mission
At this the General became much excited,
and cndeayored to get up quarrel upon the
words " border rufians.' reported to have
been used by Gov. Rceder lie was told that
the use of such language had been disa-
vowed, and that rs carly AS possible, lie
then desired to know if Gov. Reedcr had rep
resented Kansas as being conquered and sub
iugated by the citizens of Missouri; to which
the Governor replied that he had. String
fellow then inquired further, if the Governor
had intended to charge him with any unlaw-
Iul or dishonorahlc act to which the Gov
replied, that he believed and had said, that
Gen Stringtellow was maul, -'ruinental in
creating the excitement ia Missouri. which
hd produced the present state of things
and in answer To another question 10y String
fellow, said that he considered such "A course
OF conduct ms unlawful and dishonorahle.
by tins time the excitement of Stringfcllow
became very great, so much so as to attract
several persons standing in front of the door
and he on the spot gave the Governor YER

qucnce,
WHAT SLAVERY HAS COST THE USIoN.-The
Cleveland Lcdder has been making an esti-
mate Of the cost of the - hcaven-b born institu-
ton or Slavery. The result will show how
much foundation there is for the claim made
by the slave power, that the slave States
have contributed largely to the support of
the North, and that Slavery has conferred in
Vulnerable benefits and blessings upon the
country. 1t will also show whether it has
ever cost the north anything. The Lcader
first considers the last statement. Louisiana
was purchased from the French. April IL,
lSO3, for $4,000, 900. The 5000 900
was paid in stock and money. The amount
paid for interest on that stock to the time it
became due, was s., j59 1853 10. making the
total payment to France for Louisiana 1923
j2d ,352 43. BY means of this purchase the
South acquired three new Slave States. Lou

Spain, in 1871, coded the whole Of Florida

1t also rcc.iird 8, eco 900. which with 81,
4s9.7GS 6G, paid in the shape of interest on
stock issued, made together the sum of So
489.I68 &c. Thus was paid France and
Spain for new territory, $50 ,0l9 100 90.
BY the purchase of Florida the South re-
ceiyed another Slave State. But this is not all
Florida cost. Cotton planters demanded that
the Seminols should forthwith be elected
from the swamps and everglades, 80 that
they might extend their plantations, "stocked

cubs ribcr to the duolling code At this
time the Governor was carlessly sitting with
his char balanced upon the two hind legs
Stringfellow advanced, and by putting his
hand upon his shoulder, pushed him over, at
the same time falling upon him, and scratch
ing him deeply in the check with his nails.
The Governor kicked him offand rose to
his feet, both gentlemen drawing their pis-
tolls, when Stringfellow was seized byAtt'y
ten Isaacks ind Mr.. IIaldcrman and the
Governor dropped the muzzlc Of his weapon,
saying that he scorncd to attack n man who
was prevented from defending himself. By
the interference of the two gentlemen. the
matter was cnlmed down, and Stringrellov
left.
To yourselves and your readers leave all
comment on this most unparalleled outrage,
merely stating. further, TINT Stringfellow,
who thus begins by attempting to intimidate
inc Governor OF Kansas territory, and, fail
ing in that, personally assaults him, is a
resident of Weston Missouri, and makes no
nrctense OF living in the territory. 1t is gen
orally believed that the Mssourians have dis
covered that they will be unable to manage
two-thlrds OF the Legislature, and thus avoid
the Governor 8 veto and hence the conduct
OF their acknowle !ged leader During the
affair the Governor had twice good oppor-
tunlty to shoot Strngfcllow and the friends
OF order, and his friends, are very thankful
that he RETAINED, for had any injury, even
the slightest, occurred to Stringfellow, in
two hours crowd would have been raised

have been useless, and no one Gun immagine

Lamoille County, Vermont, Commissioner
appointed by the Governor of that State pur-
suant TO resolution of the Legislature at
Its session last September, to ascertain and
report the amount and extent of the claim of
the lroquois Indians upon that State for com
peneaton of land formerly occupied by them.
and TO negotiate said claim and renort to
the Legislature ct its next session, was at
the United States Hotel, Masscna Springs.
on W ednesday, June 18th. Pursuant to
agreement ne there met representatives of
the Caughnawaga and st Regis Indians and
after considerable talk. with the chiefs. in
which the far famed Elea7sr Williams, Of

the Convention adjourned to meet az the

able runners to be sent out to bring in the
Chiefs belonging TO a tribe of Indians resid
