GOV. WALKER-HiS DOINGS.


GOV. wALKER-His DOINGs.
Gov. Walker LETT Lawrence, as you know,
to arrest the Cheyenne Indians, who, in vio-
lation Of the organic act, the statutes of Kan
sas, ''my inaugural '"my speeches" and even
the Topeka Legislature feloniously threaten
ed to shoot or to steal Fort Riley He
marched up to Topeka--and then marched
back again. He sta!d at Toi ieka long enough
for the people there to institute city govern
ment in imitation of the Lawrence municipal
organization. He said nothing about it.
Lawrence is hated by all the Southern propa-
gandists to conciliate them he is waiting for
an excuse to attack her. The most insigniti-
cant movement on her part vii! be construed
into treason and rebellion; while the acts of
mobs who scof at law, and take mems lives
without trial or Ceremony, is significantly
owe looked by his otherwise billigerance.--
Leavenwurth en- masse rises and defie~ the
officers of the law-Walker is silent; Law
renee without noise or parade proceeds to
water her streets, and the little fool issues
proclamation and marches against her.
THE GRAND JURY INFAMY.
Walker intends to use the Grand Jury to
consummate his plans. 1t is now in session
at Lecompton. learn from reliable sources
that it is indicting our leading citizens bv the
dozen. Gen. Lane, it is understood, is to be
indicted.
venture to predict that Lane will never
be arrested without the effusion of blood :;
and if they shed one drop here, a war of ex-
termination will instantly be inausuratcd---
The Free State settlers have borne just as
much and as long as they intend to bear.
The Marshal at Lecompton, intended to
make some arrests the other day, but was ad-
vised to postpone his action till the adjourn
ment Of the Grand Jury, now in session.
GOV. ROBINSON TO BE TRIED.
1t was generally understood that mol pros.
was entered in the case of Gov. Robinson
and the other "royal prisoners" who were
arrested for usurpation of Office in the spring
Of last year. This is false. Gov Robinson
has been notified that he must appear for
trial at Lecompton, on Monday next.
A SOLDIER WHIPPED.
A soldier was whipped in camp two days
ago for saving in private conversation, that
if his officer told him to fire at the Free
State men he would not take aim. A Repub-
lie did you say
TIE KAw RIVER.
The river is high. Hyatt's boat, and 9TH
er craft that were snaeged last spring. can
easily be got off now. The Kansas is useless
for purposes of navigation. The experience
Of this year has demonstrated this truth: it
is too mighty onsartin' to rely on, even by
the lightest sailing boats. l understand that
a boat for the Kansas is now being built at
Alton. | advise the owners to steer it in
some other direction. They will only lose
it here.
GOV. WALKER IN MISSOURI
Gov. Walker is a lineal descendant of Mr..
cing-both-ways. He lies without stint or
remorse. To some men be is in favor of a
Free State; to others, it appears he is prop
agandist still He is the man of whom
Browns Herald Of Freedom says--"Wc could
not get along without him." In haste,
JACOBIUS.
