gloomy and cold all day. The frost was not quite so

three pairs of skates could be found in the county.
The possessor of pair started arant courier yes

strong and spacious enough for the pleasant exercise
without any successful tidings. The ice was not
trustworthy.
One evidence of the extreme cold was seen in the
market. Beef which had hung up the night before
was rendered solid that flesh, fat and bone were
alike unimpressble, save by the saw. And in more
than one case, when the long rio bones were cut
through the meat also broke off like dry bread
As the late hours evening drew on the cold gave

Commerce of the 14th says:
This morning immense foes of ice entirely choked

several acres. The shipping greatly exposed to
serious injury Navigation around the city was never

\ singular event occurred at Naples the 18th
of March. On the occasion of the birth of
child at the palace. the eighth royal infant
it was hoped that there would be an amnesty
of greater or lesser extent. But there were
only a few notifications made in the degrees
Of punishment Of certain prisoners. and a
great irritation among the populace was the
consequence. Incendiary bills and tri-colorcd
cockades were thrown through the streets
for two days, until the police had been III
creased to such number that all such dem
onstrations were rendered impossible On
the night Of the 18th the police had been very
active in making its rounds until toward
daylight, when no longer anticipating re-
ncwal of disturbances, the surveillance ceased
for moment of rcpoSc. Immediately, and
as if by magic, the walls of the city were
covered by thousands of copies of placardS
announcing an entire amnesty, in the name
Of the king, to the political prisoners, on the
occasion of the birth of a princess, a consti-
tuition for the government of the country
and the abdication of the king in favor of the
Duke of Calabria The most astonishing
part of this false document, however. was
that it bore the signatures Of all the ministers
Of state, with the seals of their respective
bureaus, countcrfeited with such precision
that not only the entire population of the city
believed the proclamation genuine but even
the police were deceived, and did not at
tempt to tear it down, until after having de-
manded of the king, by telegraph, at the
palace of Cascrte, the truth Of the document
The proclamation, while it remained in the
state of a fact, gave great satisfaction to the
people. hint which was not without its i'm
portance to the king; but how this extra
ordinary feat could have been accomplished
with such great rapidity and concert of action
remains mystery. 1t proves once more the
power of secret societies when arrayed agains,

4 A N s A s.
From the y. Y. Tribune.

We publish herewith, in letter from Law
renee, Kansas, graphic account of Mr.. Sec
rotary Stanton's appearance before the Peo-
pie of that renowned citadel of Human Free
dom, his lecture in advocacy of complete sub
mission by that People to the Border-Rufian
usurpation, the spirit in which it was receiv-
ed by the People, and the remarks of Gov
ernor Robinson and Judge Smith elected
thereby. Governor Robinson acted as mod
orator, and insisted on full and fair hearing
for the Secretary; but the People did not rel
ish being told by the deputy satrap of the
Federal Executive that they must submit to
all the Border-Ruffian claws" and paw taxes
to enrich their authors and executors. 1t is
evident that Mr.. StantOn's effort was not a
happy one, and that it made bad impress
sion.
The more important development of this
remarkable meeting, however, was that elicit
ed from Governor Robinson, in view of the
statement put forth through the Times, on
some sort of Washington authority, that Gov
ernor Robinson had agreed to succomb to
the usurpers and take part in their next bo-
gus Election. Hear what Governor Robinson
himself-at a public meeting held in Law
renee not yet a fortnight ago-said on this
subject: -
Governor Robinson went on to show the
utter ,tMility and absmdity of the Free Stote
nrea taking any part in the coming Election
for Constitutional Uelegates. He would pro-
nose. as Il measure of compromise, that Gov
ernor Walker should appoint a new set of
census-takers and election judges-half from
the Free State party and half from the Pro
Slavery party-and provide for fair and
honest Election; then the Free State men
would 60 in and vote. But, ruth the present
census-tokers and .iu'lges, 1t ,rould be q farce
and a mockcry."
Who does not feel the justice of this prop
osition? Governor Robinson and the Free
State men are anxious for fair and honor
able settlement of the existing difficulties
They know that they can beat the Pro-Sa-
very party on fair vote-thcy know that the
bogus Election. ordered. prepared for and
held by the hottest of the Pro-Slavcrv parti-
zans-the very men who robbed Kansas Of
her rights on the 3Oth of March. 1876. and
have since subjected her to the most abomi
nable tyranny-would be nothing but fare,
and fraud; and with that they will have
nothing to do. They will simply abstain from
giving it any countenance; but if. by rcaSo!
of this abstinence. they shall again be dra
gooncd, robbed aud murdered as they wer,
last year, they will fight.
Such is the position of the Free State men
of Kansas, and of Governor Robinson as
one of them. \ fair Election is all thew ask
and this they know the BorderRuffian usur
patton will never give them. If President
Buchanan and his staff mean ANYTHING y,
talking in favor of such an election let then
stop mumbing over their empty professions
and replace them by acts.
