er-Repors Of sjie Ccsoaers Inquest.
The community were shocked Yesterday NOR
ming by the discovery that Mr.. Thomas Apple
bee, grocer, had been shockingiy murdered in
the back room ofhis store No. 81 Randolph
street, during "Wednesday night. He had been
dead some hours when the store was opened in
the morning. His body lay near the back door
dreadfullv mangled and cut, presenting speeta-
Gle of horror that might wen apnal the stoutest
heart
1t would reem that the murderer entered the
store soon after 9 o'clock, when NJ. Appiebee
haa sen. away all his clerks, and was engaged in
counting cash. and that the deceased went into
the back room with the customer to get butter.
In the refrigerator where the butter was kept
was candle. which had been but just lighted
and extihgaished, and the hat of Mr.. Appiebee.
The lid of the refrigerator will not remain open,
and ii is likely that he placed the candle IN il,
and was holding the lid up with one hand cut
ting butter with knife in the other, when struck
on the head from behind, the first blood is near
the refrigerator, but the body lay several feet
distant. The butter knife is a large butcher
knife, and lay on the floor with some blood on
it. A Ratchet belonging 10 the store was cover
ed With blood and hair, and had been buried in
the face and head of the deceased both by blows
with the edge and the head. 1t is heavy
Ratchet, very blunt, and With heavy claw head.
About ten dollars in gold and silver was found
in Mr. Applebecs pockets. His gold which was
in the pocket but the ring Of it lay on the floor,
while the chain was torn from the vest asif by
: sudden Jerk. The chain and watch were not
taken. The change in the money drawer was
not disturbed. The boy Who acts as book keep
er thinks Mr. Applebee had pa, the money on
hand in bills into aspocket book IN ms breast
pocket, several hundred dollars in amount, bnt
a to the quantity he cannot be certain. The
pocket book and bills are missing, and no clue to
the Identification Of the money is yet bro't out.

NERRA SKA TEis

In the Union newspaper of Friday last find
a comparison, physical and political, drawn be-
tween two of the Western Territories-K a,.sas
and Nebraska-in which think the latter is
very greatly misreprcsented. l quote from the
article:
Nebraska is, compared with its twin brother
Kansas, a vast, cold, barren, and inaccessible
region, and without the facilities for transpor;a-
tion or business that its neighhor enjoys. It
no soil like that which fills the rich valleys of
Kansas, and no multitudinous streams, such as
afford mill sites for its southern neighbor. Ma
ture has done everything for Kansas and moth
ing for Nebraska" &c.
knowing these statements to be untrue in
the main, and believing if they are left uncontra-
dicted the effect will be felt in Nebraska for the
worse, would be remiss IN my duty to my fel
low-man, now that SO many are seeking homes

this false representation to the counter before
it had obtained wide circulation and Gre
dence.

derstand when l say that the advantages of soil
and climate, of security from Indian depreda-
tons, of rivers, streamlets, and springs and 9TH
er things, not only do not leave it s.barTsan

superior, TO its neighhor, Kansas

On the chair calling the Convention to order,
Gov. Colby presented communication from the
Republican Executive Committee. ltststes that
the Pittsburg Convention desired to include
in their invitation for a National ConveD.
ton at Philadelphia, all opposed to the eX.
tension of slavery. There was no reason why
all should not unite who are oppose to aggres
sions of slavery, and great many reasons why
all should unite, as a union is the only means OF
fering success.
A motion being made to refer to a committee
Mr.. James, of n. j., said this was an American
Convention, and he did not think the documents
could be referred. The business of the Conyen.
ton was to nominate President. New Jersey
was willing to yield much for Freedom, but AZ
represented here she was Native American
and nothing else.
Mr.. Palmer of N. Y, said, it must be remem.
bered that Northern Americans had Others to
oppose beside Southern Americans and if this
Convention should nominate an Independent.
candidate in the field, the Republicans had made
great concessions, and he hoped for the inaugu-
ration of united party since the great party had
found existence which had forced US to the verge
Of civil war.
The glory of the Democratic party was passed

posed with the united energies of all lovers OF
Freedom. He hoped the communication would
be read with proper respect. Gov. Colby oil \,

American, but Free State man, he hated three
things, Hopery, Slavery an Rum.
| The first tried to do good work, but could not
the second makes brutes of men there was but
one thing to be DONE and that was TO unite and
break down the present administration The de-
butte was continued by Mr.. Schafer of n. T., and
others, the motion was adopted.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
A motion to limit the time that each speaker

The Commute on Credentials presented CON-
plete report, which was adopted. On motion
the various State delegations were directed 10

tons.
Mr.. Peak moved toproceed to an informal bal

| During the debate name Of Fremont was re-
ceiyed with such marked applause as to satisi!
the mover AS to the choice of the Convention,

The Chairman Of the Committee on Rcsolu

Mr.. MILLEn, Editor and proprietor Of the

himself, with bis own private means, in the town
Of Lawrence, IL now in this city. His Office, ~
Ill our readers know Was totally destroyed, BIZ
order Of United States Judge Leeompte, and it's
types and presses thrown into the river His
house was piilsgcd and he himself, after being
several times arrested, made his escape with only
the clothes upon his back, travelling $50 miles
on foot through the State Of Missouri.
The Free State We have read since il was first
established. It's tone has been moderate and
conciliatory, yet firm for freedom IN Rsnsas.---
Mr.. Miller II IN intelligent gentleman, forcihlc
writer and well adapted to the position he has
occupied. Hell . native Of South Carolina and
bred democrat. The last number Of the Free
State. printed May 18th, came TO hand yesterday.
Il had at the head the name Of John G. Fremont
for the Presidency.
Mr.. Millers printing Office has been legally de-
s.royed "by authority" He has been stripped
Of every thing he possessed that could be car.
Red OF or destroyed. All flor the crime Of OPP
posing, in moderate, dignifed and concilistory
manner, the extension Of slavery into Kansas
For this crime he has been hunted like q wild
beast
The proprietors Of the several papers in Chi
cago have engaged in the laudable and praise
worthy undertaking Of collecting money for the
reestablishment Of the Herald of Freedom, Mr..
Browns paper, who Is himself still prisoner
We are rejoiced that they have determined to
set the Herald again aaoat and are satisfied they
will do It. But there is equal propriety in rem.
dering assistance to Mr.. Miller. The Free State
should also be re.established We therefore sug-
gest to our exchanges-to every editor, publisher
and printer In Iowa, that they severally collect
means to this end Two thousand dollars is
enou Oh to rec .tablish the Free State. If the
friends of free speech, free press and free ter
ritory, will give a little from their abundance,
the paper will soon be again in operation. Ev-
cry one who has any of the spirit OF the craft,
we arc confident, bya few words ftly spoken,
and few hours devoted to it, can afford the
necessary aid We move that the several news
papers Of this State, who have fellow feeling
for fellow craftsman, raise such sums rs they
conveniently can, and forward to Messrs. Green,
