Gov. walker i'm Lawrence.

The correspondent of the Missouri
Republican, writing fro Kansas, says
that Robert J. Walker is acting like an
opiute upon the disturbed political bowels
to use u somewhat unfeminine simile-
of Kansas. Its blood grows purer-its
great Democratic heart begins to pulsate
strongly. W. shall have no more I'M
healthy secretions of Republican bile.
In fact, Kansas has done what yellow
fever patients ever did had the black
romit and got over it,"
Gov. Walker reached Lawrence on
the afternoon of the Goth, from Leaven-
worth city, and was introduced to the peo-
pie at a meeting held the same night, in
the Unitarian Church. He made but a
few remarks, but they cover much ground,
for he most emphatically declared that he
came to do his utmost to throw oil upon
the troubled waters, and bring peace, by
reconcillng so far as in him lay, the con-
lic,ing political elements in Kansas
He observed that he would not enter at
that time into the details of his proposed
political line of action in Kansas, but ralh-
er perfcrred TO refer his hearers TO his
Inaugural Address, which would be i'm
mediately printed and circulated through
out the Territory. He however pledged
himself 10 exert all his influence to have

Unfortunate Affair.

We learn 10y a gentleman from Rock
ford that an event of q very serious char
acter, took place near that city, night be
fore last. A son of ex-Gov Bebb, who
resides with his brother on a farm near
Rockford, returned a day or two since,
from the East, bringing with him his
newly welded bride. A number of the
young men of the neighborhood, possess
ing more of the spirit of mischief than of
good breeding or sense, went 10 the house
at night for the purpose OF. insulting the
newly welded pair with a chicdr0ri.
While engaged in their Disgusting orgies,
the father of the bridegroom came from
the house with a gun and fired upon them.
This caused them to disperse; hut rally
ing again, they soon returned and recon-
menetd / cir revel with greater vigor
than before. Gov. Btbb fired upon them
again, and this time with more serious
effect. The account in Rockford when
our Informant left, was that two young
men had been killed. Another account
is that they were seriously wounded tho
not dead. Either is a result sad enough
but it must be regarded as their own
criminal folly which vitcd it. 7 ere
should be a law furnishing with severe
penalties those who engage in these In
sulting orgies = Chicago Times.

A Fiendish Act.

A woman named Hester Simons has
been tried and convicted at Troy, for
w%antonly disinterring the body of John
ii. SimonS, of Greenbush. 1t seems that
this woman, possessing a very malicious
temper, got into a quarrel with the Wild
ow Of the deceased, and d clared that the
body should not remain where it had been
buried. Empl wing a laborer for that
purpose, she had the remains disinterred
and buried some Two feet in the ground
in a other place. This occurred last
September. after Mr.. Simons had been
dead a year. The prisoner was sentence
ed by Judge Bull to pay a fine of SIS,
and be committed until the fine is paid.
The fine was paid Chicago Times,

Thc August Election.

II will be perceived that we have this week
placed at the head of our columns, the name
OF our old friend and fellow-citizen, Gen.
LEAvIrr L.. Bowen, as a candidate for the
Office OF Delegate to Congress, We Intended
to have remained outside of the field few
weeks longer, but at the urgent request of sew
cral influential gentlemen in different parts Of
the Territory, as well as the almost unanimous
wish OF the citizens Of Sarpy county, we have
yielded to their opportunities at once, and will
keep his name nailed to the masthead as a
candidate, TO the end Of the fight, and will not
withdraw It to favor any candidate or clique.
Gen. Bowen is an ACTUAL resident Of the
Territory, and one Of it's earliest settlers. He
served as a memberin the House Of Represen-
%tntives, two years ago, and by his indefatiga-
bic industry, done much in forming and enact
i'm wholesome laws for the government of this
infant Territory. subsequently, he was elect
cd a member of the Council, and was by that
body chosen its presiding oficer--the highest
RECEIVE Office In the Territory. For the
ability with which he discharged the duties of
the office, the unanimous approval OF that
body and the public is Sufficient evidence. He
has ever been true to his constituents, through
"evil and good repo rt''--and being personally
acquainted throughout the Territory, having
been connected with the sam from its organ
ization to the present time, he knows, and can
appreciate the wants OF the actual settlers
His influence as Delegate will not be eXerted
to confer fayors upon PARTICULARS locations,
to the detriuient and disadvantage Of others,
but will use his utmost ability for the good OF
all, and the general prosperity of the Terri
tory.
Again, Bellevue, being the Oldest point Of
settlement in the Territory, has claims to the
candidate for Delegate, and should Gen. Bow
EN- be successful, the compliment will be APP
preciated by the citizens of Sarpy county. Ii
conclusion, we would again say, that it is by
the advice and request of the leading mer
throughout the Territory that we have hoisteC
the name OF Gen. Bowen, and il is with con-
fdence that we leave his claims to the office t.
be settled by the voters of the Territory-an'
will be eontented with their decision.

.sRoCky nottom, Again.

In our last weeks issue we inserted an ex-
tract from a letter in the Boston Evening
Transcript, which reflected pretty severely
upon our sister city Florence, and also Platts-
mouth. After the extract was in press, we
were informed by n worthy citizen that, there
was actually a rock bottom at Florencei and
that II was in every other respect all that It's
friends claimed for it. Being a stranger in
this Territory, and not having had the oppor-
tunity to judge for %oursclf, we have relied up
on what we have read, and what other parties
have told us, and we would do violence to our
own feelings, as well as injustice to a highly
fourishing sister city, II we would neglect to
correct any error OF Misrepresentation into
which we may have Inadvertently fallen.
For the past week we have taken some In
terest in making inquiries In regard to the To-
cation and advantages which the city Of Flor
ence possess, and are free to admit that in
regard to beauty OF location II far exceeds
Omaha-and Council Bluffs In not worthy to
be compared in connection with II. As to ac-
tiyity and enterprise, u far exceeds any town
on either side OF the Missouri, north Of Kan
sas. This is saying agood deal-is admitting
a good deal-but when we take into consider
alton that only one year ago there were but
three or four houses scattered over the city
plat, with a dozen or two Of inhabitants, and
that now there are two or three hundred houses
some Of them Of the very best architectural
structure-and from 1900 to 1900 inhabitants,
q regard for truth ccmpels US to admit what
we have.
Notwithstanding all this, we still hold that
Bellevue has the most beautiful plateau, and
the best in every respect FOR a large city that
exists in the Territory. One thing, we think,
can be predicted with certainty-the Railroad
will either cross at Florence or at Bellevue,
for It is impracticable, II not impossible, for
even a steam ferry boat to cross the Missouri,
at all seasons Of the year, from Bluff City to
Omaha. We, OF course, will do all we can to
make Bellevue the point Of crossing, but in
the mean time, we DO not wish TO quarrel about
it with a sister city. 1t would be better, a
great deal, to unite and endeavor to prevent
the Railroad from running against a sANp-nARl

Kansas.

The Washington Correspondent Of the
N. Y. Herald, holds the following langu-
age in regard to Gov Walkers orders:
Whatever notifications Mr.. Walker
NAV make in his orders on his way to
Kansas, or after his arrival there, he will
most probably adhere to the following
points. TO wit THAT the local legislative
laws must be sustained that the stand
aIoof policy of the Free-State party from
the June election will avail them nothing;
that the act of the majority of those who
do vote will be binding upon those who
do not vote that the next step after the
adoption of a State Constitution, by the
Convention thus elected, should be at all
hazards the submission of such Constitu-
ton to the vote of the people for their
ratification and that the Convention have
the undoubted right, if they shall SO think
fit, to leave un'ouch' d the question of
Slavery in their State Constitution, and
entirely subject to the future action of the
Legislature Of the State.
We are also inclined to think that Mr..
Walker will adhere to these original land
marks of his Kansas programme aud
according to our latest Information from
the Territory, there will be no evil war
from the PRONUNCIATION of these views,
and no burning nor numbering will be re-
quired to enforce them. The squashIng

The Ladies' Fair.

We take pleasure in calling attention to
the advertisement in another column, of
the Fair by the Ladies of Omaha city, in
the Congregational { hurch, for the pur-
pose of raising funds to furnish the Chu oh.
This is a very laudable and praise.wc rthy
enterprise, and should be patronized by
all lovers of Churches, and the ladies'
particularly, as the ladies of Omaha, are
for fine appearance, fine taste-and
will venture to say, give a fine Fair,
and equally as good a supper. Come,
young gentlemen, brush up your hats and
boots, and get ready to go to the enter
,ainment provided expressly for your
selves. 1t may be, that you will loose
your hearts, but by footing up the loss and
profit, you might find yourselves in the
end, much the gamer. Go and try it.
