A Serious Objection to Buchanan.

An "Ex.Old Maid" writes TO the New
York Evening Post the following letter.
She draws II touching picture OF the desc,
lation Of the White House in the occu-
pancy of bachelor:
To the Editors of the Evening Post.
The Presidential chair Q presume that is
Sufficiently capacious,) should, ut any rate
be occupied by complete Human Beng,
and this fact, of itself, should dispose sum
marily Of the claims of the more or less
honorable buchanan; for if there is one
principle NOSE clearly settled than any
other, it is that an Ola Bachelor is at most
but Half man; and how can such per
son make more than Half President g.
Now, sir, 1t is bad enough TO have man
ut the head of the White House who is
destitute Of backbone; but to have one
who, in addition to this anatomical defect
has the moral defect of being destitute of
his most natural and essential compile
ment-a WGc--would be truly mon
strous. Imagine the disgrace of having
our national Palace converted into n
Bachelors Den; our National Board pre-
sided over by Single Man; our National
Fire poked 10y single Tong! Old MAIDS
are excusabIe, their position not being n
matter Of choice; but Old Bachelors ball!
The very name is sickening. The wife
who will let her husband vote for such
man, ought to be Lynched. ask you,
sir, if it is not notorious that old bach
elors are the most selfish, the mos. in
triguing, the most dangerous, the most
dyspeptic of moitals? And then, to think
of a Bachelor who has lived in Europe
| decline to pursue the subject; my motto
is that of the Western hunter: 'Bcar and
foibear."

The late News from Kansas.

II how appears 10 bs pretty certain that
all the excitement and warliko reports
from Kansas originated from the fact that
the Free State hotel at Lawrence, and the
building adjoining, in which were the
printing materials Of the defunct weekly
Journal called Tho Herald of Freedom,
were destroyed by fire by a party of Shsr-
if Jones' men, who had gone iuto the
town for the purpose of making arrests.
In the melee which occurred between a
portion Of the shertf's posse and several
free State fanatics, one Of the latter was
shot and killed, and pro->lavery man
accidentally killed. Subsequently Gov.
Robinson's house was fred by an un-
known person and consumed. This is
about the sum and substance Of the fam.
ing statements from the local point Of the
border troubles. A writer in the St. Louis
Republican, speaking Of the hotel, says:
"The hotel, as every body knows, WAS
nothing more nor less than fort. Il
was constructed by the disciples Of Beech
er, Silliman Il Co., for the purpose of re-
sistng any attempt to enforce the execu-
tion Of the law within the range of its
guns and musketry. The town itself was
fortified on the outskirts, and determi.
nation to set all the laws governing the
territory to defiance was openly proclaim.
ed. But the leaders ran away, having
no man Of any note to defend the place,
and tho result it stated in the despatch.
There this civil broii, we hope, will have
an end"
