The truth of the removal of Judge Lecompte Is now
confirmed by the nomination by the President to the
Senate Of James o. Harrison of Kentucky as Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of Kansas. The removal
of Judge Lecompte was contemplated at least forty
DAYS ago. and Of which, is said he was aware; but
up to this time nothing has been heard from him in de-
Tense of his official conduct. The recent proofs and
represent atoms of Gov Geay determined the course
of the Administration in the premises.

An interesting opinion, delivered by Judge HOf-
man at the Special Term Of the Superior Court
will be found in another column. The case decides
that an agreement to sell five hundred barrels Of
mess pork, deliverable three months after the con.
trscs at certain price to be paid on delivery, where
the seller has pork in bis possession or under bis
control, and the intention of the parties is not to
deliver the article but to pay the difference between
the market value at the period of the contract and
of its competion-that iuch an agreement is in the
nature Of wager, and, therefore, not enforceable in

undoubtedly will be very tive in order to get hold
IL Naples in case Of revolution. Bat If even tho
hurs;s, for the sake Of half throne. should enter
into the schemes Of Eng ard, and abandon al

the difference between the feeble and the strong
The heartrehdiDg accounts Of the political prisoners
escaped from Cayenne are not exceeded IN
cruelty by the dark dramas Of Ischia; while the
number Of French victims is by far more considerable
thsn that Of the Neapolitap. Besides, neither LOUIS
Napoleon nor any French statesman will e'er
consent to strengthen the influence OF the Po-
siti IN of England in the Mediterranean, already
too heavy for France. Such, however, would
be the case if Sicily should be emanc-
pated and separated from Naples under Engifh
auspices. Moreover, it is impossible that Austra
can abandon Ferdinand TO the mercies Of Eogland,
even if eventually united with France. King
Bomba is not only connected with the Hapsburgs
by family ties, but likewise BY mutual interest IN
the division and oppression of Italy. And 10 this
case Austria, rather Naples, will be, to1 pm,
sustained by Russia, grateful to Ferdinand for his
conduct during the Eastern war. For ali these
ressCps, we perceive only treachery and victims In
the movement Of Palermo.

Constitution establishing Slavery. He thought the
Territorial Legislature bad power to say whether
Slavery should exist in the Territory or not. For
this remark his Democratic brother, Mr.. BROOKS
from South Carolina, rebuked him, saying that he
could not subscribe to any such doctrine but would
vote TO admit Kansas as Free State, If her people
asked to be 60 admitted.
Mr.. Brooks repudiated the doctrine Of Squatter

A number of the passengers who lately arrived
here from California, by the Nicaragua route, make
use of our columns this morning to expose the
grievances they have suffered from the managers
and steamboats, of the company which now carry on
that line. OF course, it cannot be expected, in the
disturbed condition Of Nicaragua, that travellers
should find there all the conveniences of peace and
order; but in this case the complaint goes much
beyond the necessary contingencies of such sta to
of things. Unless there is thorough reform, few
passengers will risk themselves upon that route.
