The late manifesto of r. Barnwal Rhett has
much more in it than What appears upon its
face 1t is a precursor of a series of disunion
experiments which will now be rapidly untolded
here, and at other points, as the plot thickens.
The latest experiment deliberated upon is a

Lancaster, they also have their fears of Mr..

Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.
Later from Kansas-A Murderer hailed,

.-.s LecOmptOn, NOV. ~, 1906.
MEsSRs. EDITORS SO much has been said OF
the murder of BuFFUM, a Free State man, by
the party that went up to the destruction of
Lawrence when it was last threatened by the
forces under command of Gen. Reid that 1
would not mention it now but for the mockery
of justice which has grown out of it.. 1t will
be recollected that Buffum was lame-that he
had taken no part in the political troubles al
though known to be Free State man-that he
was shot while standing in the door of his own
house, because he had demonstrated against the
carrying off of his horses by the Rufian party.
The murderer was well known; and the fact
that hisc crime was so notorious, and the other
fact that Gov. Geary saw the body of the muir
dered man while it was yet warm, insured the
apprehension of the cut-throat who did the
deed. true bill was found by the grand jury
and the man was arrested and placed in con.
tinement. Our Jefrey's Judge Lecompte, ia
king advantage of the Governors absence in
the Southern part of the Territory, had the
criminal brought before him, and after pre-
tending to listen to the argument of his coun-
sci admitted him to bail; and he is now at
large. Lecompte decided that in his Court,
Murder IN the First Degree is bailable offence!
l have no doubt it is, when the murderer is a
Pro-Slavery man-not without. I record the
fact as specimen of Border Rufian JUSTICE or
rather law-justice we have long ceased to ex-
pect. -
When the Governor returned from his tour,
he was told what had been done; and l think
for the first time since his arrival in the Terrific
ry, displayed open indignation at the action Of
his coniederates in the misgovernment that we
endure He had promised the family of the
| murdered man that they should have redress
and the easy getting off of the prisoner COM
promised him more than he was willing to be
compromised; hence he at once ordered the
Marshal to arrest the man again; but of course,
he has taken himself into Missouri where he is
safe. The bail is straw. . a... Pc
l do not hear that His Excellency accom-
plished anything by his trip, that he might not
have accomplished by staying at home. He
had chance to display himself, and that chance
never comes amiss He had a chance to hear
himself talk in his magniloquent and egotistic
way; and that chance he always improves. The
man is an arrant humbug. and how he con.
ceals the fact from himself surprises me. Does
he? IF @ IN @
We hear all manner of rumors of the result,
of the election. Most of them indicate the
| triumph of Buchanan. If con6rHed, our fate
is sealed, and Kansas is Slave State. l pray
| that the blow may be averted.

Earthq quake In Naples.

NAPLES, Oct. IL 1896.
I'd At two o'clock this morning we experienced
shock of an earthquake so alarming in its eff
fects that we all rushed in our night clothes into
the streets. 1t was only after being there some
seconds that we bethought ourselves of the situ-
alton we were in, and the majority of us, not
wthstanding our fright, again entered our hou'
ses to procure clothing. The fog was so dense
that we could not see each other at ten PAGES
distance. The dew also fell so heavily that even
umbrellas failed to protect us.
We remained in the open air until six in the
morning. Curious to say, the shock set all the
bells of the churches and houses. ringing. The
alarm was SO great in Naples that the whole pop
ulation rushed down to the beach. As we have
had two shocks-one slight and the other terri
ble-it is hoped they are over for the present.
The atmosphere, however, is heavily charged
1t is as warm as in the month of August.

The correspondent of the Daily Times from
Washington, of the 18th, says an impression still
prevails in some quarters that the government
Of the U. S. has assented to the Danish Sound
Dues Capitalization projects. This is an error
arising probably from the identity of the name
of the British Minister at Copenhagen, with that
of Mr. Buchanan, late our Miliisier at Louden.-
Our government has not agreed to, and will not
become aparty to the capitalization scheme on
any terms, because to do so, would be to yield
entirely the principle upon which we resist the
Danish Exaetion. 1t will agree however, to con.
stitute liberal sum annually to Denmark to-

Among The novel bets on the result Of ID,

worthy Of note
Col Foster, Editorof the Pittsburg Dispatch,
Who By tie way, sported larger beard and
mus.sci. than any other man in Pesnsylvania,
made bet on Fremont's election, OF that

But tie best wager Of the two, is that made
between asj. Ben Pcrley Poor, and Col. Bur
bank OF Boston, as follows: Major Poor bet
chat Fillmore would carry Massachusetts,. II
not he would wheel q barrel Of Apples on q
barrow from West NewberrY to Boston, dis
lance OF So miles. In the event Of Fremont
loosing the State, Col. Burbank was to perform
a similar feat, from Boston to West Newberry.
On the day designated for paying the wager,
the Major set out with his barrel Of apples,
accompanied by many of his friends, who
cheered him on his journey, to the limits OF
Boston, where he was met by several thousand
of his sympath,zing friends, who welcomed him
with his burthen and gave him hearty and
enthusiastic reception, to the amusement of
large conconrse Of people who had assembled
to get sight Of the gallant Major. Col. Bur
banks offered to remit the wager, but no, it
must be performed, and it was performed in good
faith, after two and half days bard travel,
making about Is ! miles per day. over an
uneven road-pretty well done.
Would that all wagers on elections were OF .
similar character, and we should have far less of
