kansas Affairs.

The late news from Kansas Territory gives
very un(avorable amount of matters there. Ihe
Legislature met at Pawnee, where the Governor
had called it, and after refusing to allow eleven
free-soi members elect to take their seats, and
voting that the code of Missouri should be the
law of Kansas, adjourned to Shawnee Mission
Governor Reeder vetoed the resolution for remoy-
inc the seat of government. but it was carried by
more than two-thirds. Northern papers say that
the object of the removal was to get near the State
of Missouri, from which aid and comfort might be
obtained in case of need while it is asserted on
the other hand that the Governor wished to build
up town at Paunee in order to enhance the value
of his lands, which lie in the vicinity In conSe-
ouence of the removal the Governor has refused to
recognise the body as the Kansas Legislature,
and will not meet them at the Shawnee Mission,
or sign any of the bills passed by them. Among
the bills of which notice was given, was one re-
quiring citizens emigrating from Massachusetts
and other States which have annuled or may null
lily the fugitive slave law to take an oath 10 sup
port the laws of Kansas Territory.
The most unaccouutable part of the affair is
how it happens that Reeder is still in Office
More than a month ago Secretary Marcy's letter
was published, virtually removing him unless ex'
plantations respecting certain land speculatlon'
were made. The public are not informed in re-
ference to the explanations, but Reeder is still III
office.
A committee appointed By tho Kansas Leglsla
ture to draw up memorial to the President io
the removal of Gov. Reeder reported on the 25li
ultimo The memorial sets forth various COM
plants against Reeder, calling him clog to the
wheels of government, and praying his speedy re
mOval.
P.S. Alter the above was put in type we re
ccived the city papers of Monday, containing 'h'
following despatch
WAsnrNoroN, July 29.-The President ha
appointed John l.. Dawson, Of Pennsylvania
/ Governor of Kansas, in the place OLA. Ii. Reed
or, removed. Mr.. Dawson was member OF Tux

Me1nncno1y Occurrence.

The Richmond Dispatch of Monday gives the
following account of melancholy occurrence at
Gordonsville, the day before:
A most painful accident occurred on the Virgin
ia Central Railroad yesterday, by which an esti
rnable gentleman and highly valued officer lost
his life. Just as the down train of cars reached
Gordonsvie, about 10 o'clock, A. NJ, Capt.
William A. Moody. conductor on the mail train,
passed hurriedly through the freight cars in Or
der to cut one of them, and forgetting that the
station-house stood within few inches Of the
road, swung himself on the walk way on tho out
side of the train, where he was instantly caught
between the cars and the house and crushed in a
most awful manner As SOON as the accident was
discovered, the train was stopped, and the unfor-
tunate man taken into the tavern, where he lin
aered in great agony until half past 10 o'clock.
P. M, when death came to his relief. Mr. Moo
DIV, on being taken into the hotel, remarked to the
engineer, Mr. McCandlsh, that he was badly
hurt but that no blame attached to any one for
the accident. HIS two brothers were with him
at the time Capt. Moody has been employed on
the Central road for fourteen years, the past ten
of which he has filled the post of Conductor, not
only to the entire satisfaction of his employers but
to the travelling public along the line, among
whom he was universal favorite. He was a
bout thirty five years of age, and by his death the
Central Company has lost one of their most popu-
lar agents, and the travelling public polite. at
tentive and accommodating officer. Verify in the
midst of life we are in DEATH
