WAsHtNeToN, Nov. 80 Correspondence
ofN. Y. Tribune. To-day the relations be-
tween the President and Gov. Walker have
assumed a new aspect, and while friendly pro-
fessions are still interchanged, it is under
stood that either the resignation or the re-
moval of Walker will take place before the
meeting of Congress. The former alterna-
tive is now not probable, but the other may
be accomplished by the action of the Cabinet
tomorrow
The President ustifes his course in sus-
tanning the Convention upon the ground that
its legality had been recognized by Congress
and himself and that therefore he is bound
to accept its recent action as valid. although
he would have preferred that the whole con-
sttution should have been submitted to the
people
The constitution and schedule which re-
Gently appeared in the Union were transmit
ted here by Cen Calhoun as literal trans
cripts. but authenticated copies arc expected
daily, which will be communicated to Con-
gross with the Presidents Message.
KANSAS MATTERS AT WAsuINGroN.-
The Washington correspondent of the New
York journal IF Commerce says that Cover
nor Walker was surprised to find, on his ar
rival at Washington, that his position in re-
gard TO the action Of the Constitutional Com
vention was not known. and was the subject
of doubt and contradictory statements He.
or his friends for him. had taken care as early
as the 9th inst, to telegraph the facts of the
case. stating his objections to the act of the
Convention, and apprising the administration
of the approach Of a fearful crisis" But it
seems that this information was either not re-

FIRE ~ WEsrFoRD.-O the 7th instant,
Mr. II. Allen, of Westford, had large barn,
sixty feet long, well filed with hay and CON
tanning farming tools and other property, con
sumed by fire. The fire was occasioned, we
arc informed, by the little son of tenant
lighting match which he had picked up in
the house, and, probably to amuse himself
and his still younger brothers and sisters,
thrusting it between the boards of the barn.
This was early in the morning, and the barn
was soon in a blaze. There was only $3.50
insured on the barn and its contents. The
reprehensible carelessness of many persons,
IN leaving matches about, and in suffering
children to use them, can not be too severely
rebuked.-Free Press

INTERESTING BABY AFFAIR-A WoEruy
CIrIlEN IN DlFFIcuLIY. - Last Sunday
evening gentleman residing at jamaica Plain
was sitting with his wife and some friends at
their parlor fire. when the door bell was vio-

gested to her husband that as the girl was
out he had better go to the front door. Ac-
cordingy he opened it, and found no one
there; but there was a nicely done up has
ket, covered with white linen. at his feet. and
he thought he heard the rusting of a female
dress departing.
After looking yainly upand down the street
ana around the portal, he took the basket in
20 the parlor, On the covering being remov-
ed a beautiful little child appeared, some five
months old. The lady screamed, one of the
lady visitors took up the baby and found a
note pinned to its dress, which charged the
gentleman ofthe house with being the father
and implored him to support it. rich scene
ensued between the injured wife and the in
dlgnant husband, the latter utterly DENYING
all knowledge Of the little one and ASSERTING
his innocence
The friends interiered, and at last the wife
was induced to forgive the husband. ALTHOUGH
he still stood to it like Trojan that he had
always been a faithful husband. Finally the
lady very roguishly told her husband it was
strange that he should not know his own
child' for it was their mutual offspring, which
