I'VE on I1e eOge cI 'oIcahV, auo any ""nitns may
prec plate us into strife the result. OF which s, at
least, uncertain. Gov. Geary is yet in the southern
rsrt Of the Territory, and We have beard nothing
from him for two days The Court at LecomptOn
goes en- with itt work BY the inch. There is hssf
dozen of the prisoners before them, arrzgned on
variety Of indictments, and for the last few days
they have been a. work with them. Witness after
witness is examined with the most methodc slow
ness. Short terms "a few hours day la1ty in
the manner Of urging Court business an indiiier-
ence about the hours for which Uncle Sam has to
paw and in which the hated prisoners suffer, all OF
these make The laggard footsteps Of Justice creep,
and mel might grow old ere justice hadeIecuted
or even determined on her DEGREES. Nearly hfy OF
the prisoners understand, have been indicted for
murder 10 the first degree. This wholesale reck'
lsssness merely indicates the failure that must re-
sult yhen such cases are carried into court; ont
when will all of these prisoners be tried 1t will
take them months to get through az this rate, and
Border. Rufban patience and BOrder-Ruhan revenge
Gun rarely wait that long. There will be some
charge ia the current; i! would be difficult to cay
how or why. These fellows are too f.ful to follow
is no present indication Of relaxing. This is Spe
cal Term of the Court for the purpose of trying
these prisoners; but the Grand Jury have been
finding bills sgainst multitude Of others, who are
still az free a. those who breathe the air of con-
quered Kansas can be. No less than six hundred
udic ments are reported to have been found against
Free. Safe men. Whether this Grand Jury like
;,a has find,
agsintt or presenting hotels or sswmills or print
ipe-presses or bridges, know not.
As yet, Capt. Walker and Lieut.. Harvey of The
Militia have not been arrested, although they
have been in hourly expectation OF It, / have
heard that it is not the intention Of these gentlemen
to allow themselves TO be taken without express
orders from the Governor. Deputy Marshal Faim
was in town yesterday, but did not have the ORA
goors with him. He was evidently on a tSur of
investigation, and plotting mischief Of some kind.
II is not likely that many days will pass without
some demonstration, and they are evidently meas
uring the magnitude and difficulty Of the pres mt
enterprise.
On the Eth Of this month the Delaware ceded
lands will come into market These lands are val
and several other towns and have frontage Tor
miles on the Missouri River. The land is Of va
riOus kinds-excelient prairie, timber land, &c.
The portion to be sold is ten-miles wide strip of
the Delaware Reserve. IL was ceded in trust, TO
he sold at auction to the highest bidder for the
benefit of the Indians. As have said settlements
and towns have been freely made upon it. At first
a. India al; "a 20 eptf An
friDgement of the treaty, but from the improve
mepis thus made the lands in question derive no
nccn.iderable portion Of their value At these
land sales difficulty Of some hind may be expected.
Although the lands have mostly been appraised
at S2 or 81 per acre, many of those
who have squatted on then swear they will give
| 81 25, ond no more, and that they will shoot any
man who dares to bid of their claims. There is
still very considerable portion Of these lands That
are occupied by no one-e1cellent lands too. 1t is
pity but there was some moneyed company to
nvs,t their funds in the purchase of these lands, to
prevent them from all falling into the hands Of SIM
liar companies in the Slave interest. What would
be much better would be for such companies or
associations to furnish funds for s,tua settlers to
make the purchase, taking mortgages on the prem
ises for the payment and proper proportion for
the use of money thus invested in what must prove
a handsome speculation for all concerned.
In week or two the seeoni edition of the bogus
legislature viii be ISSUED at Lecompton. What
the Barons will do this time it would be beyond the
ken Of mortss to divine. That this iession will

horror on the bogus laws, soSn tO expect. The
fact it, there is nothing unnatural out of place in
the aforesaid bogus laws" They are not only the
natural fruits Of the power from which they erns-
mated, bus a necessary part OF the system they
are INTENDED to bolster up. Let no one think tina.
they were wild freak Of merely drunkeu, wou!dbe
law makers The wOuld.be law makers might be
drunken, or seni.drunken, but they were sober
enough 70 make such laws as Slavery peeds and
SEEKS. The approaching session viii see them add
to them, rather than lay them on the shelf More
stringent laws for the preservation OF save property
in K0rsos, will unquestonably be adopted. Laws
that vii still further be insult and outrage to
all that freemen recognise a. the standards OF pois
col liberty. The fact is, repubicsnsm Is merely
a name in the Southern States where Slavery really
exists and must become only name, or even less
than name, in Kansas, before the m.asmadc toy OF
Slavery can settle on the restless atmosphere, now
blowing SO freely from the ROCKY Mountains. And
yet, when look around me and see the deep foot
prints Of despotisn, violence and fraud, on every
hand, feel that the work has progressed iearfuly,
