The New Kansas Governor.

1t seem to be settled at last, that Hon.
Robert ]. Walker, of Mississippi, is to sue
ceed Gov. Geary in the gubernatorial du-
ties of Kansas. Whether the cause of Lib
erty and right has gained anything by the
change we are disposed to doubt. With
out wishing to PREJUDICE the coming mar"
we know of nothing, either in point of po-
sition, associated or past political history
which makes it at all likely that Mr.. Walk
er will refuse to enforce the demands Of
the propagandists. That his sympathies
are with the South, and consequently with
the pro-slavery Democracy, we have every
reason to believe.
1t is well understood by those who are
posted on the matter in Washington, that
Mr.. Walker expressly stipulated that if he
accepted the post, he should have full dis
cretionary powers, and prompt and entire
support from the General Government
Gov. Geary resigned because he could not
have these privileges granted him, and We
presume that they are granted to his sue
cessor, with the understanding that his
discretion" shall tend in a certain direc-
ton. We do not for moment doubt that
he is to use, both his discretion and his
''backing" to sustain the border-ruffians in
their userpation of power, and to enforce
the tvrannical bogus code of laws. If his
acts show that we nave done MN an 'nlus-
tice We will promptly and gladly MAKE sne
"amende honorable"

The Canal Contracts.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette writes as follows, and we think very
sensibly. The Gazette acknowledges the
fraudulent nature of the contracts, but is
afraid ofthe bugbear "repudiation."
MEssRs. EDITORS Il have read, with a
good deal of interest, the arguments of
Messrs. Hosea, Heaton, and others, on the
same side, in relation to the Contracts, and
have been surprised, and entirely unable to
understand the force of the charge Of ere
pudiation," which they seem so anxious to
apply to those who refuse to sustain the
contractors. | do not under tand how
the State can be chargeable, in any odious
or unjuset sense, with reputation, for
refusing to pay money to, or in any
manner continue TO deal with, men against
whom the evidence of collusion and
fraud is SO strong as it appears to be against
the contractors.
With all Mr.. Hosea's regard for the sa-
credness of contracts, it is not possible that
he would consider himself bound by fraud
ulent one. Nor can l think that he, or
any other honest business man, would hes
itate without repudiating it, even though
it be at much temporary inconvenience and
pecuniary loss. 1t would not be just to
the principles of morality, or common hon
esty, to do so. Neither have we been able
to see, as yet, in what manner our Leg;sla-
ture, as body, differs from an individual,
in dealing with contracting parties. Ger
tainly it is the only medium through which
the People can act, or give expression TO
their will; and if either of the parties who
have got the repair contracts, or that "Hy-
draaslic Company" which has got possess
ion of water-rents of the Canal, have over
reached the State by fraudulent dealing
with her faithless agents, our legis-
lators, in justice to the trust confded upon
them by their constituents, should certain
ly have the honesty and nerve to shake
them off and place the Stale upon the de-
fensive, and let their contractors, if they
wish, seek their remedy through the courts.

The Sylvania Ward
Convicted.

The Toledo papers have been filled fol
some time past with the reports of the tri-
al of Return J. M. Ward, for the murder
of his wife at Sylvania. On Thursday the
jury returned verdict of guilty of murder
in the first degree. The wretched prisoner
received the announcement with stoical in
difference.
The Blade sums up the result of the tri-
al as follows:
''The case is one of the most extraordi-
nary on record. The evidence going to
show the identity of the remains as those
belonging to the body of Mrs. Ward, is ex-
ceedingly slight; and yet, so strong were
the circumstances pointed to the guilt of
the prisoner, and so overwhelming the train
of evidence against him, that the jury had
no difficulty in coming to positive conclu-
sion in regard to the matter, and will be
fully sustained by the verdict of popular
opinion. So far as we are informed, there
is not doubt of the Righteousness of the
Judgment which has been rendered.
The murder is one of tie most brutal,
horrid and disgusting, in all the annals of
crime. A husband not only murders his
wife, after cold blooded generalization, but
sits up nights, with his door locked, cuts
her into small pieces, and burns up her re-
mains in the stove. This process occupied
several days, in which time he drew large
ly on the shops around for shavings, and
the unsavory scent went forth from the
chimney, filling the nostrils of those who
happened to be in that vicinity. Ward
occupied himself with this disgusting and
appalling work, till he thought he had OBJ
liberated all traces of his guilt, and then de-
fed detection. But "murder will out."-
tits amazing what an array of facts, unim-
portant in themselves, have been brought
to bear on the case, and what an irresista-
BILE conviction of guilt the carry to the mind.
Ward has not yet had his sentence, but he
will be hung by the neck till he is dead,
dead We hear it said that this will be
the first case of capital execution in this
county,"

~ An Ohio Beauty, who was the Belle
at the great Inauguration Ball, at Wash
ington, is thus noticed by the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
''The Belle of the Ball was the great OBJ
ject Of inquiry all the evening. So many
fine ladies, fine dresses, pretty eyes, pretty
mouths, Grecian noses, graceful forms and
good looking people never were assembled
in Washington or anywhere else before
So many orders of beauty, so many tastes
in dress, and such costly displays of the o.
namental, puzzle intensely all lovers of the
beautiful. We found the Belle, and lucki-
ly too, from the State of Ohio. She was a
native Buckeye Venus de Medecis. Wasn't
she beauty? She is the second daughter
of the Hon. David T. Disney, late member
of Congress from Cincinnati. She is tall,
straight, graceful IN her carriage, has black
hair and eyes, brunette, we should say,
with fine rosy cheeks and red lips. Her
skirt was of rose pink, covered with doub-
lie skirt of lace, embroidered, her headdress
was crimson velvet leaves, with gold clusters
of grapes, and an opera cape Of casmarett,
embroidered with gold and silver. AL
though many there were, who were lovely,
she was the lovliest of them ALL"
This beauty who appears to have been
the "observed of all Observers" on the oc-
casion noticed, did not dream, perhaps, sin
the whirl of the giddy dance" that she
would accompany her father home corpse

The bred Scott Case,

In the Ohio Senate on the 10th inst,
MIR. KELLEY, after some appropriate re-
marks, in which he took strong ground
against the decision of the Supreme Court
in this case, offered the following preamble
and resolution:
Whearas, the Supreme Court of the
United States have in their late decision
in the case of Dred Scott, virtually decided
that the owners of slaves may bring and
send them into States where Slavery is
prohibited, and still retain their ownership
in such slaves, which decision in effect de-
clares that Slavery may exist in this, and
other free States. And whearas, it is
deemed essential to the welfare of this
State that Slavery be utterly excluded
from its limits; therefore
RESOLVED, That the Standing Commit
tee on Federal Relations be instructed to
inquire, whether any, and if any, what leg
islation is required to prevent the intro
duction of Slavery into this State, and that
said committee report by bill or otherwise.
After some discussion, on which it was
contended that the right of transit of a
master with his slaves through a Free
State, did really introduce and sanction
Slavery in such State, the preamble and
resolution were adopted by vote of "a
to e.
