Observation-Disclosures ARRESTS.


LAWRENCE, X. T., Dec. IL, 1856.
Clark the Indian Agent and murderer of Bar
Der, has been removed, and by the same source
we learn that Nr. Spencer has been appointed
United STATES Marshal for Kansas in place of Dom
aldson. This acceptance of Donddson's resigna-
ton, which was merely gauntlet thrown down
TO test the issue betw.e him and the Governor may
be considered IS sustaining Geary, and virtual
overthrow of the Marshal. Donaldson falls as the
tool of corrupt power always must. Clark's case
is not so very clear. Beyond all question, the parties
who have hitherto sustained him will claim the
credit of his removal 1t certainly is good thing,
but il it is to show disapprobaion for the violent
conduct Of the murderer of Barber, it has Ueen
somewhat tardy Clark seems to think that he
owes his removal to other causes, for when he re-
ceyed The news he swore heartily about some Of
the Pro-Slavery men about Leeompton, who, he
said, we're worse than the the Free State men, and
who had been lying about him.
Recently there have been further arrests or At
tempted arrests down south, in the direction Of
Ottawa Greek and the Potawatame. An effort
was made 70 get several Free.State men 80 Te-
cuwteh, under the plea of having them for wit
nesses in the case of Mr. Partridge, whose trial
had to be postponed for want of them. As the
persons thus called upon had very natural disin-
ciustion to place themselves uuder the jurisdiction
Of partisan Pro- Slavery Court in any capacity,
they declined to 20, although some Of them wo nd
have run the risk if they lad entertained any hope
Of being able to do good for Mr.. Partridge. The
Marshal went round in the same direction to mako
arrests, but Ike an unpopular visitor found good
many "not ut homes" He succeeded IN arrest
ing one man and started of for Teeumseh with
bin; but that gentleman, after travelling for some
distance with the Marshal concluded that "evil
communication corrupts good manners" and 80
left the Marshal and made his escape. About the
same time he went 10 arrest Mr.. S,lss Moore. AS
