Lawrence, Sept: a5. SO.
Capt Walker went to-day to Lecompton, b
invitation Of Gov. Geary. to make arrangement
/ abou; the company he Is forming. As soon a
it was known tha. he was in the Governors o.
fee. Cramer appeared with writ in his hand 70
bis arrest. Geary told Cramcr that he could no
arrest him, that he had invited Walker there
| and that he should defend him that ne woul'
see ifhe could not invite man into his ofiic'
! without his being dogged about in that manner
Cramer made some apologies, stating that NJ
! did not know Capt. Walker personally &C.
The Gov. said, s'don't you lie to me, you contemp
tible scoundrel, but get you out OF here and sta,
away until send for yon." 81
! Cramer took himself oil, and reported the re
/ suit of his attempt to Donaldson, when DR.. Tibbs
said,if he could be commissioned as Deputy
Marshal, he would arrest Walker in spite of Gea.
ry or any other man. Accordingly being in
| stalled, the newly made Marshal called upon the
Capt at the Governors Office, and demanded
| his surrender. Geary, not liking to be thus in
trnded upon and his authority set at nought,
jumped right up aud down, and swore by all
that was good, that, if Walker was arrested,
he would not leave one stone upon another,
and, to use his own words, "l'll blow your
damned town to He'll I'll see if a set of damned
scoundrels are going to do as they please in
this Territory I'll let you know that am Gov
ernor of Kansas, and intend to have things
done as Isdy"
He then sent for Donaldson and gave him a
beautiful lecture, informing him that he could
have nothing more to do in this Territory, un-
less he acted little more in accordance with
Justice. The Governor ordered Col. Titus to es-
cort Capt. Walker out of town, and it must
have caused a-pecuiar feeling in the person OF
Titus to be obliged to protect a man for whose
head he had offered $500, and whose house he
had ordered burned but he must obey the
Governors orders, or loose his situaton that OF
Col of the militia. Walker seems highly pleas
ed with the results of to-day.
/. Lecompton. Sept. 26.
. Found myself in the Governors office to-day,
making application for the few remaining hor-
ses that were taken with our boys at Hickory
Point, and after running about with Cramer,
hunting up Postscript Donaldson, standing with
hat in hand two hours in the Court room, await
ing Judge Catos moLon in disposipg Of most
pressing case, l received the welcome informa-
ton, that must, -ahem-must call again, rs
there was not time enough to do anything that
night.
l visited the boys in Jail, and found them in
tolerable health, but much in need Of clothing,
many have been wearing their present shirts for
six weeks, and have nothing to effect change,
They are certainly in most deplorable condi-
ton am determined that if the people will
not do something, will, even if it does take my
last cent, shall feel richly repaid for my pecun'-
ary loss in seeing their comfort.
1t was certainly bad enough to see our sol
ders in the Free State army destitute, but when
prisoners suffer, it seems much worse. can
not possibly describe their desttution as it real
" is. Let every one imagine their condition in
his own mind and then act as duty demands.
Geary issued his proclamation to-day declar-
ing the seat of delegate to Congress, vacant, and
ordered the polls to be opened in every county
on the first Monday in October, for the purpose
of electng one The Free State people, howev'
er, will not go to the election, and ofcourse the
whole affair will be one-sided, and of not much
account. ....
Lecompton is much more quiet than have
seen it since last spring. l am unable to tell
what the cause is, unless that all the rowdies
have Joined military company, and thus ren-
dere quiet on account of being under military
discipline. .... ..t. .....
The work on the Capitol is progressing SLOW
ly, but will probably 60 ahead once more
T. Shoemaker, Receiver OF Public Monies. re-
ceiyed official notice last night that he was re-
moved, and that Mr.. Brindle was appointed IN
his place. Shoemaker was Free State man.
Brindle was one of those who shot Phillips
few weeks ago at Leavenworth, and is called by
his friends Bully Brindle or Brindle Bully.

I carried the boys some shirts, but they wer
