HEAD.QuARrERs lsr CAVALRY,
Camp near Lawrence, April %, 1856 !
Sir: As there are no municipal officers IN TIE
town of Lawrenec. think proper Ia address You
before returning To my post. The reoont attempt
nron the life If Sheriff Jones will produce great
excitement throughout the Territory and on the
Missouri frontier, aud consider il Of the utmost
Importance that every Effort should he made by
your people to ferret nu' and briug 10 justice the
eowardiy assassin. II is moi too much To say TINT
the peace of the country may depend upon II, Tor
II he Il not arrested the act will be- Charged by
the opposite party upon ynur whole. community.
This affair has been reported AT Washington aud
Whatever orders may be- received will be i'm tnni
~ carried into effect. The proclamation which
requires obedience to the laws If the Territory.
As they now stand until legally abrognted. will
certainly be maintained. aud II is very unsafe to
give heed 10 people at Il distance who counsel re-
sistance. If they were here To participate in the
danger they wond probably take different view
of this matter, ! am, sir, very respectfully your
obdt. ser't.

LAWRENCE X. T.. April %, 1856.
Sir--your note of this morning received,
md in answer permit me To say that the coward
~ nttack upon Mr.. Jones receives n" countc-
nance whatever from the citizens of Lawrence.
hut On the contrary meets with universal condcn-
nation. aud if the guilty party can be found he
will mast certainly be given over IL justice. 1t is
and has been the policy of the people of Law
renee 20 yield prompt obedience to the laws and
officers Of the Federal Governments aud rs Mr..
Jones acting in authority of that govern
in' mt On the day of the assault the guilty party
an enemy to the citizens Of Lawrence, no
less than II violator of the laws. The people Of
Lnwrenc" are without any organized municipal
government and consequently no person cnn
speak act officially for them, but from what |
know e ;heir feelings and dispositions have no
hesitation in saving That they will ever be found
loyal citizens If the government, and ready Ia do
