The City-The Levee Improvement.

The rity-The Levee Improvement.
The Council proceedings of Thursday
evening last show that G. L. Emerson, all by
himself, from the committee to whom was
referred the petition of Patrick Nash in re-
gard to the bids upon the Levee Improve
ment, made report in favor adhering to the
Smith bid.
Messrs. Chamblin & Cave, also members
of the committee, have not yet reported.
Upon theirhonesty and judgment great deal
depends. We do not believe, if theBoard has
the magnanimity to do its duty in:the prem-
ses-which would dnow seem to be the casting
aside of all former bids, and re-advertising
for proposals on new plan-that either
public or private interests will suffer thereby.
But let Aldermen beware how they attempt
to feed brood of starving cormorants at
the city's expense. 1t is not desire to
promote the city's welware, that makes En-
erson, Smith & Co., so anxious to grasp the
$50, 900, which it is proposed to borrow
TO improve the Levee. Let them once get
hold Of that amount, and the basis of a debt
of at least half million, is at once laid
Aud eventually the man who votes to start
them in this game of public plunder, will find
himself held to dear accountability here
after.
Let Aldermen Of the first and second
Wards ponder well before they act, and then
let them act understandingly, and after a FIJI
Understanding Nth their constituents.

Col. Fremont's Political Course In California.
J. WiSchester, Esq, Of West Farms, N. j.,
under date of the 18th Of June, thus writes
to the N. Y. Tribune: ~
The sentiments of Col Fremont 1 have
had good opportunity of knowing. During
the canvass for United States Senator from
California, i'll 1850, was editor of The Daily
Pacific News, published at San Francisco,
the first journal that raised the Democratic
banner in tue Eldorado State. Being also
Printer to the Legislature, established the
Stn Jose A,yus at the then seat of govern
ment, solely to advocate the reelection of
Col. Fremont. l know well the causes
which conspired to the defeat or non election
of Fremont, after severe contest, extending
to about one hundred and fifty ballotngs
and occupying over two weeks Of the session
/ aors distinctly beca,sse he acas Free S.ate man.
The plot was already formed to divide the
Stite and from the southern portion form d
Slave State; but this issue the conspirators
dared not openly present. Of all these plots
and of the prominent actors in them, my
position gave me the fullest cognizance. Col.
Fremont was true to the interests of Free
dom, and was sacrificed.
1t is needless for me to testify to the emi-
nent ability o. CO... Fremont-for are not the
evidences written upon the craggy heights
of the Rocky Mountains and upon the golden
sands of the State which, mere than to any
other man we owe the acquisition of to his
valor ? OF iron will, of integrity that cannot
be swayed from the path which leads to the
promotion of the glory and prosperity, as
we'll as the permanence of the Federal Union
yet, withal, gentle in his bearing-no man is
filter to lead the united forces of freemen to.
victory than John G. Fremont. Let the
Will of tue People be done

Pennsylvania.

In answer to the question, " How will
pennsylvania go ?'' the Philadelpbia Bulle-
TIN answers AS there is a good deal of in
tercst felt in the result in Pennsylvania at
the coming election, we subioin table Of
the votes cast in 1854, at the election for
Governor, which is the only election since
1852, when there was anything like full
vote out, or any distinct expression of tho
popular sentiment ON the Democratic
policy" The vote then stood
Pollock, Republican, 204,O08 :
Bigler, Democrat, l6T,OOl
Bradford, American, 1903
Pollock's majority over Bigler, 37,OO7
On the question of slavery or freedom to
a third of our territory, the voice of Penn
sylvania will be cast for for freedom with an
astounding emphasis. But, we conclude,
that neither in Pennsylvania nor indeed in
any of the Northern States at least, can any
past election be a criterion of party strength,
compared with what would be signifed
should an election be held to-day. If we
are not mistaken the last three months have
wrought greater change against the admin
istration than ever took place before in the
same length of time. The fruit of it's prin-
oipa! measure has ripened into bitterness and
blood, and it has been analysed and cursed
sronnd every hearthstone. In the country
the change has been far greater than in cities
and towns. We hear of whole neighbor-
hoods, heretofore nearly equally divided by
former parties, where nearly the entire vote
would now be cast for Fremont and the Re-
puIlieans. It is SO, without doubt, in Penn
sylvania, where men have hearts to feel like
likewise, and the courage and manliness to
act accordingly. 2 '>-:;

Latest from Kansas.
ST. LouIs, June 26.

OI. LoOlS, OuuC ~.
By private advices from Kansas we learn
that William Gay, agent of the Shawnee and
Wyandot Indians, was murdered on Saturday
last, while proceeding from Westport to his
agency, by party of three men. He was
accompanied by his son, who escaped after
receiving severe wound in his thigh. No
discovery of the murderers had been made
up to Monday.
A company of seventy-five or eighty men
from Chicago, who recently left Alton for
Kansas on the steamer Polar Star, had their
Sharp's rifles and revolvers taken from them
at Lexington, Missouri. 1t is said they were
very insolent on board the boat, and made
threats as to what they would do in parti-
cular contingencies. No violence was offer
ed them.
Report says Shannon has resigned the
office of Governor, his resignation to take
effect the first of July. The Republican in
Inmates that if Willard p. Hall, of Missouri,
should be appointed to that Office, peace
would be restored in that Territory in thirty
days.
There was a rumor at Westport that G.
w. Brown, editor of the Herald of Freedom,
had been killed.
LATER.--A letter in the Democrat, dated
Lawrence June 10Th, says that Sheriff Lay
man, at the head Of thirty dragons, arrested
that day Major Hoyt and James Legrate,
and marched them to Lecompton. Layman
had no papers, and on his arrival at Lecomp-
ton, Gov. Shannon refused to recognize his
authority to arrest the parties. Sheriff
Jones stood by, and seeing the dilemma his
subordinate was in, Immediately prepared
the papers for the legal arrest, and Hoyt
and Legrate were imprisoned.
1t is reported that Col. Sumner had fight
on the 10Th with party Of Missonrians, and
lost two men. Some were killed and several
wounded on the other side. Sumner drove
the party into Missouri and stationed troops
so as to prevent them from returning.
Sumner had refused to let party of forty
southern men come up from Westport to set
tie on their claims at Hickory Point, where
they had laid out town.
