''IIuted itself a court Of inquisitiOn, 1t would

MARTIAL LAW.
Another correspondent Of the Dem0crot
writes under date Of the 96lb. that Sam. Lat.us,
Deputy Sheriff Of Douglas county, has prepa-
red WHts Tor the arrest Oi more than one hun
dred citizens Of Lawrence, charged with disc
bsying the territorial laws. Il military force
will be kept at Lawrence ill all the proposed
arrests are made, aud ill the prisoners are con
veyed to LecomptOn, where they are to be con.
fined ill their trial. Colonel Sumner as de.
clared that he will, At all hazards, reduce the
people To obedience.
PUBLIC MEETING.
"a meeting of the free state men was hsld
on the evening Of the 25th of April, at which
speeches were delivered by Reeder, Robinson,
and others, in which the shooting Of Jones was
severely condemned. Robinson offered a re.
ward Of FIVE hundred dollars for the arrest o
the guilty parties. 1t is said that the tent, il
which Jones was shot, was guarded by troop
when the act was committed, and that no fre,
state men we're permitted to come near it,
This circumstance is a little suspicious. l
would seem probable that some hired tool o
Shannon or Stringfellow, tried 70 take the
Sherlf's life, in order to cast a stigma upon the
character Of the free state men,"
