have recently entered the Territory

of permanent settlement, and are search

represented in Lawrence, than has been

More Murders in Kansas.

Mr.. E. b. Whitman has just returned from
Kansas. He left Lawrence on the goth inst,
In company with four others. Two of the five,
conGding in Gov. Geary's promise that he would
Introduce quiet and restore peace and safety
took the U. s. stage at Lawrence to Kansas City.
The other three, not believing in his fine words,
travelled on foot, through the woods, and at
night, reached the river above Kansas City, at
wood yard; got on steamer and came down
in safety. The two men who travelled in the
U. s. stage, were forcibly taken from it be.
tween Kansas City and Westport, by band of
''Llw and Order" Rufians, robbed of all they
possessed, then escorted into the bushes by the
roadside, and deliberately shot! Their only
crime was that they we're Free-State men,
Neither had been long in the Territory They
had taken no part in the disturbance, but pur-
sued their business quietly and peaceably.-
Their object was to purchase some claims for
the purpose OF returning to the Territory and
becoming farmers in it.
The names of the murdered men were Hyatt
and Harris. We have not learned the name OF
the place where they formerly resided.
The Free State people were complaining bit.
terly of the conduct of Gov. Geary He was
causing the arrest o! large numbers of Free
State men, but none Of the Pro-Slavery men,
He had arrested over two hundred Free-State
men, who had been most active in defending
themselves and ncighbors against the Border
Rutfian invaders, while instead of arresting and
Furnishing the latter he was engaged in enroll
ing theminto the Territorial militia, and draw.
ing rations from the General Government for
the support Of the scoundrcl invaders. This is
the way Geary is fulfilling his promises and high
sounding proclamations.-C Chicago Tribune

In this mammon-worshipping age, it is rare to
find man place his usefulness to the public, be-
fore his interest. During late visit to the
"Cty of Spindles, we were presented by pro-
fessicnal friend to the celebrated chemist, DR..
J. C. AVER, whose name is now perhaps more
familiar than any other, at the bedside Of sick
| ness, in this country. Knowing the unprece-
dented popularity of his medicines, and the inn
mense sale of them, we had expected to find him
a millionaire, and rolling in wealth. But no,
we found him in his labratory, busy with his la
| borers, among his crueibles alenbics and re-
| torts-giying his best personal care to the COM
| pounds, on the virtues of which, thousands
hang for health. We learned, that notwithstar-
ding his vast business, and its prompt returns in

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CoNyENTIoN.-Next 10 a
revision of the Code, the most important chan
ges likely to be made in the Constitution by the
Constitutional Convention, is one providing for
the election of the Supreme Judges by the peo-
ple a change of the time of holding the State
Election, and the removal of the restriction
against Banking. The necessity of providing
the State with better currency, is generally
acknowledged. We are now at the mercy OF
the surrounding States and Territories Our
currency is now mixed, and less reliable and uni
form than that of any other State in the Union.
We have no control over it, and all the statutes
that could be framed, would be utterly useless
towards excluding the irresponsible paper with
which the State is flooded The substitution of
a currency regulated by the State, is the only
effectual remedy for the present evils.-T Iowa

The Baltimore Democrat contains bill OF
Indictment against the present administration
and Mr. Buchanan, which includes the follow
ing counts"
ENDORSEMENT OF THE PIERCE ADMINISTRATION
BY MR. BUCHANAN.
The present President of the United States
came into office by such majority as scarcely
anv other candidate has ever received lie had
not been in office two years before his admins
tration stank in the nose of the entire Union.
There is no record of loss of popularity SO
complete so sudden and so overwhelming. This
administration, with all its faults and all its
unpopularity the Cincinnati platform fully en-
dorscs, and Mr. Buchanan has expressed his de.
termination to shoulder it, as Samson did the
gates of GAIA, and bear it to the end Of the
campaign. Let US axamine the contents OF the
load which the old man volunteers to bear of
in safety.
Mr. Pierce commenced his Presidential career
by an onslaught upon the integrity of the Union,
which consisted in appointing jefferson Davis,
a notorious disunonist Secretary of War.
He took the next step in that direction by re-
opening the issue of the Kansas Nebraska bill,
after a solemn pledge TO prevent all agitation
on the subject as far as he could. He could
not have hit upon an expedient better calculated
to effect disnemberment as the deplorable
civil war now raging in Kansas abundantiy
proves. - =
He vetoed the River and Harbor bills, in
which the great West was vitality interested, and
the confirmation of which as law would have
been Of infinite service to this port.
He is responsible for every drop of blood
shed in the Kansas war.

LOCOMOTIVE BLowN UP-Two MEN KILLED.
Yesterday the locomotive civilian II. Brown"
on the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad ex-
ploded her boiler about two miles this side of
Geneva killing two men outright and badly in
juring three others. Joseph Coolidge, fireman,
and man named Kinney, living at DeKalb,
were the killed; and James Daniels, trackmas-
ter; Jack Keys, construction train conductor
and Calvin Lackey, employee on the road are
very badly injured. The dead were sent to De-
Kalb Station and the wounded persons were Ia
ken to Geneva, and left at the house of Mr..
Samuel Nelson, general Track Superintendent
Of the road, and medical aid summoned. Daniels
and Rays are so severely injured that no hope
is entertained by their physicians Of their reco-
very. Lakey it is hoped, may recover, though
it is feared he is MORALLY injured internally.
At the time of the explosion the Brorn was
engaged in hauling freight train to this city,
aud was running at a speed of about twelve
miles an hour. The cause of the explosion has
not been ascertained but its force was so great
as to throw the engine entirely from the track
distance of some twenty feet or more. The
Brown was built bp the Chicago Locomotive
Company, and had been run about three years.
The passenger train from Fulton City was de-
layed some two hours by the accident. All the
persons killed or injured were on the engine at
the time of the explosion Chicago Tribune.

The Dcs Moin river is very low with a con-
sumption; but it is hoped that it will recover
the sand bars before another summer. Some OF
our enterprising citizens propose the idea OF
running railroad up the channel, and thus save
the grading. 1t is urged with some show Of rea
son, that il they once get possession they can
get out an injunction and prohibit the river from
coming back again Our people, however, are
generally opposed to this, as il would lessen the
value Of their new bridge.
Many curious reasons might be given for thu
smallness of the stream tins fall, hut the mos
probable one is that it is democratic river, ant
Is failing with the rest of the party. Whethe
this Is true or not, it has been great support t
