The intelligence from Kanzas for the next few
weeks viii be looked for with great interest By
the latest accounts, as late as Dec Is, from Le'
compton. the new Legislature was still in SEES
sion, having passed, over the Governors veto,
the bill organizing the Territorial militia, with
Gen. Lane as Major General. and eight Briga'
dsrs under him. So it looks as il the people
there were prepared in good earnest to defend
their own rights, come opposition from whatever
quarter 1t is understood that the militia is to
be thoroughly and immediately organized. The
following are the members Of the board in de-
tail:
Major Ganeral--Jnmes H. Lane.

The manner in which Gen. Lane was elected
says the Lecompton correspondent Of the Boston
Journal, may be considered high compliment to
him. No other person was put in nomination for
the office of Major General, and he received eU-
cry pote in The Convention of the two branches OF
the Legislature.
It must be recolleeted that this is the regularly
elected, legal Legislature of Kanzss, called to-
gether in strictly legal manner by Acting Gov
ernor Stanton, before his removal, and that
therefore, now, for the first time in all their fierce
struggles with the Administration at Washing
ton, and with the border rufians at home, the
people Of Kanzas have the strict technical forms
Of Law and order Gas recognized by the national
government itself on their side and therefore,
that terror to the border ruffian Democracy, Jim
Lane himself instead of being shot, as report
ed, is now, beyond all possible dispute or cavl
from whatever quarter, the legal chief military
officer Of Kapsas. That he will be bold, wise,
and iudicious in the exercise of his authority,
to the compets expulsion Of border rufianism
from the Territory, should it attempt to show its
head mere hereafter, to interfere with the popular
elecsioss or modest the people there in any other
msnner, no one can doubt. II the general gov
4rnment wishes to run tilt against him, it must
FIRST bear in mind that il is making war against
the legally constituted chief military officer of the
Territory, who viii execute his duty at all haz-
ards.
