BLOODY MINDED PURPOSES IN KANSAS.
"A Free State paper, direct from Kansas
called the Geary City Era, thus dis.
courses on the late proposition Of Gen
Atchison to take enough Missourians
over the line, on election day, TO control
the Kansas election
Peter 7. Able appears TO thing las will
be seen by report of his speech at
Platte city in another coIumn) that The
free State men of Kansas are not on their
guard. If, as he says, the Missourians
intend to vote In Kansas this fall, and any
of the Williams attempt it in Geary city,
we have guard here of sixty or seventy
well armed men who will be very ap, 10
be on them. And this is not the only
place in Kansas where q thorough and
complete organization is affected. The
free State men in Kansas have been view
ing the recen; doings of the pro slavery
party, under the name of National De-
mocracy, and are determined that every
legal voter in Kansas shall have the priv
iletge of casting his vote in October,
without molestalion, and none but legal
voters shall. If it is attempted blood
will not cease flowing until every ruffian
is pu, out of the way. For upwards Of
two years the free State party of Kansas
have beeu compelled 10 submit TO every
species of outrage that inventive devillry
could propose. We have. submitted to
the last act of ruhianism. October will
tell the tale. "a word to the wise,' ~

"a horse which had been left by his own

Mrs. CUNNINGHAM ANTEcEDENTs,-
There are many stories floating about in
regard to he past history of this woman,
but few, we are sorrow to say. show her
in any favorable light. The following,
we believe, is perfectly reliable {:
"About eight years ago Mrs. Cunning
ham was housekeeper for young Dr.
G-n, then living in Fourth street, Ninth
Ward. The Doctor, at that time, was
unmarried, and belonged 10 highly re-
spectacle family. The lady began, after
time, to cut up the same didoes, ana
"spread her net" as she did with DR..
Burdell, all but the tragic part. DIR. 6.
was anxious to get rid of her, but she
would not 60. The Doctor hit upon an
expcdieni. He went around to a fire
company located in the vicinity, told his
story to the boys, remunerated them a
little, and in less time than we have
been writing this, Mrs. Cunningham and
all her duds found themselves in the
street. Had DR.. Burdell pursued this
course, he might have been alive this day,
probably."-PiH. Union.

The BANKRUPT LAW of 1841, dis
charged $1,000 debtors from their liabili-
ties to more than million of creditors.
Their debts amounted to $4,000, 900.
and the assets assigned amounted to only
about S48, 100000, but a little more than
ten per cent. of the Indebtedness; but on
a final settlement Of the estates not one
cent to tn, dollar was realized by the
creditors. In Pennsylvania and all south
of that State, the records show that not
one cent on the dollar was ever realized
from the assets rendered. In Illinois
they'yielded ga cents to the 500, in
Michigan and Iowa J Of cent each to
the 500, while Massachusetts, produced
but cents, and Connecticut 6-10 Of a
cent to the 800. Kentucky yielded
the highest, being Sc cents. In the pre-
sent general suspension, the condition Of
the debtor-class is very different. By far
the largest portion, who have been obliged
to suspend, report large surplus Of means,
and if property does not fall enormously
in value, large portion of the indebted
ness will be paid in full.

Col. BENTON AND CASA letter to

cent, those who see him daily, believe he
has very feeble tenure of life. The
disease has not been removed, and he has
not, in the present interval of compare
tive repose, regained his flesh, his
strength, or natural buoyancy, or will
not.
A day or two ago, Mr.. Cass inquired Of an
old and mutual friend how Mr.. Benton was.
The reply was not encouraging. 1--WE men
Of seventy and more" said Mr.. Cass, do
not recuperate well when once prostrated.'
No." said his friend, " we do not. Have
Won not seen Mr.. Benton ~ / have not yet
seen him." he said. "Then," rejoined the
other, 81 would not defer it long" Mr..
Cass glanced quickly ct his friend, and read
the import of the remark as it related to Mr.:
Benton, and then was silent for time-l
might say sad. The tolls Of the State De-
Partment press too heavily upon him, ar i
his appearance at times betrays the fact. A
Secretary of State, however, cannot labor
with ether eyes, and ears, and brain, than
his own aud few men in such a position, are
| willing to forego the accomplishment of the
cherished plans and purposes Of years, at the
very moment when the opportunity has been
acquired to compass them. Besides, it is
glorious to die in high position, and in the
] discharge OF honorable duty.

A Most singular Case.

In 1854 man by the name of Richie was
murdered ut Port Robinson in Canada, by
one Townsend, who escaped, and eluded pur-
suit. Some months ago, a captain Of q
steamer, who had known the murderer, was
ashore at q small village in Ohio on the
American side, and met a man whom he de-
clared to be Townsend, and had him arrest
ed and carried back, under the extradition
Treaty, to Canada for trial. He has been ar
raigned, and the case twice set for trial. and
continued on an affidavit by the prisoner,
that there was an error in personal identity,
and that his name was McHenry, that he was
in California at the date of the murder, en-
ployed ut Chips diggings, mining for gold
His case was called on the 10th inst, and il
was again continued on second affidavit,
that proof could be obtained Of his presence
in California at the date of the murder. lie
had scarcely signed the affidavit in the pres
ence of his counsel, when messenger rush
ed int the room and announced that two
men had just arrived post haste from Cali
fornia direct.
They had travelled the last 4S hours with.
out sleep, in their anxiety to reach the spo
where McHenry was being tried. Thei
names are Thomas Walters, formerly o
Cauboro, and Hugh Aikens, formerly of Ac
ton.
1t seems that McHenry's letter to Califor
MIA was addressed to Mr.. Anderson, Scrib
of the Sons of Temperance Lodge in Chipp'
Diggings. Mr.. Anderson had left the place
and the letter consequently lay there unopen
ell for a couple of months. 1t was hande'
to the actual scribe, who laid the content
before the members Of the Division. Nc
Henry was known ut Chips diggings rs
sober, quiet, respectable man. Chips dig
gings were mp in an instant. No time wa
to be lost. The Sons of Temperance there
of whom McIIenry had been one, secured tn
country instantly. The proper men wer
found, and affivavits were made which viii
at once satisfy the mind of any unprejudiee
person.
The departure of the gentlemen was hast
: ened for the purpose of their being bearers G
the first package of documents, but othc
packages are on the way, addressed, some {
the Governor general, some to the Sheriff Q
Haldimand, and some to the prisoner him

them recognized him. and was recognize

ed to relate circumstances which took plac
at the diggings in 1854, such as the falling

was informed OF the arrival, and that No
