bling ARRAY at Lecomp.on has developed some new
shades in the National element of that place worth

who is q Conservative or National Free. State man,
was walking along the street in company With friend
of his who Is clerk under Mr. Brindle in the Land
Office, ard in passing grog-shcp Mr. Bailey cav
another friend of his stardpg in a crowd Of noisy
rowdies about the bar and fearing that he was get

At this the crowd came up around him, threatening
him as an Abo.onist, ard, as he backed out Of the
door to avoid Them they continued to follow him up,

stabbed him in several places both from before and

The man who gave him the principal blow WAS Mr..
BIoekett, one Of the ultra Southern Calhoun Admins
tIatCn men, No provocation was offered, and no jus

Mr. Bailey was Free State man.

impregnaed with all the rirtues at least, of the Ad

of officials for long time effort made to ar

of an Office near by, mannesting no concern what
ever, while MIR. Bailey was carried by weering in
his blood to some welcome couch, TO suffer and prob
ably die. Some time afterwerd, Gen. Mclean, ore
of The lard chiefs here, by Buchanans appointment
was seen taking Brockett across the river toward
Leave1worth. When little stir was made by the
Free State men-and the Nationals all claim to be
such now-they could not find Brocket The rumor

Mr. Brindle and Mr.. Moore of the Land Ofe and

part of the fre.eating officials, and declared arrests
should be made, and two other men in Brockett's
garg were arrested. Their all the combustibles in Ie
coupton seemed lighted and no town Ia Kansas
saw greater excitement. The Calhoun party swore
that the first man who appeared in Court to testify
against the accused should be shot down on the spot.
Brinde aid bis friends swore just as piouly that the
witnesses should be protected at all hazards. The
suit was both parties need INN edate prepare
