The fate Of Mr. Robert j. Walker, now in this
city, on hss way to assume the sinecure Office of
Governor Of Ksnsas-we say sinecure Office, be-
cause the Governor of Kansas is not ntrusted with
any authority-may not unjustly be compared
with that of the great Roman. While still
alive he is cOverted from having once been Secre-
tary of the Treasury, into mass of plaster, with
which to stop the chnks Of bogus legislation. 80 ss
etlectusly to exclude every ray of liberty and JUS
tice; at the same time that he is used to give
sort of external show of decency to what within is
nothing but uncleanness and corruption.
Taking into view all the circumstances of Mr..
Walkers appointment and acceptance, it be-
comes too clear to be doubted that he goes to
Kansss--so far as his public functions are con-
ccrned-merely to be used by the Border Ruiiians
in the way above pointed out. The history of his
three predecessors shows plainly enough that while
the Administration does not want to be represented
in Kansas by drunkard and fool like Shannon
80 neither can any man be tolerated there as Gov
ernor who really believes that the Free-State men
have any rights in the Territory, or who accepts
the doctrine of popular sovereignty, or interprets
'hc hhhsde-NtoIdsho oill III an! olncr sense Injn
that Of bringing Kansas into the Union as a Slave
State, whether the majority of the resident inhsb-
tants desire it or not
That Mr.. Robert J. Walker goes to Kansas for
the sole and exclusive purpose, far his public
functions are concerned, Of cramming the bogus
laws and bogus sayeholding Constitution down
the thro"ts OF the people, however they may de-
cline and struggle against the nauseous dos. i,
evinced by attending circumstances inconsistent
with any other conclusion. With the experience

THURSDAY, APRIL 90, 1867.

There was another advance yesterday in the price
of beef cattle at the great weekly market on
East Forty-fourth street, so that all bullocks
that were really fit for the shambes sold at prices
equivalent TO twelve cents pound for the meat
not counting the hide and fat. In fact, many of
those sold at twelve cents would scarcely afford fat
enough for single feed Of hungry Esquimaux.
All the really fat animals readily sold for thirteen
cents or more per pound, the supply not being at
oil equal to the demand. For number, prices,
where from and cause of the advance, and other in
teresting particulars, see our regular market
report. The continued advance in prices of all
kinds of butchers meats is becoming matter of
serious consideration to those who work to live and
must eat to work, and whose wages of labor do not
advance with the price OF food

We observe that some Of those friends Of Free

certainty that il will not only be Slave State but
that the Free-State men will not allow themselves
to be used in the work of making it such Under
the bogus laws this result is as certain t0-mor-
rows sunrise whether the Free-State men take
part in the election or not. They probably nine

by the bogus Legislature such that should they
go INTO the election their defeat is inevitable az
il would be hopeless, and without remedy, They
have wisely judged, then that to take part in the
contest under such circumstances would be absurd
and ruinOus for it would bind them TO abide by the
predestined resnlt. 1t would make them accom-
plices in the crime of fixing Slavery upon the Ter

baiotboxes, controlled by Missouri inspectors,

fewer than IOt sesmen were investigated, and out
of this number 90 had been kidnapped, while 81
were in need of medical treatment from the afro

A case of much interest has recently been tried
before Mr. Baron Watson, at Chester. On the
18th of January last, while the American ship
James L. Bogart was lying in the Mersey, and
about to proceed upon her homeward trip, the
master not being on board. two seamen named
Vsnderpole and Chrystie refused to do duty upon
the ground that they had been brought to the
wrong ship. The chief mate, Furber, and the
second mate, Campbell armed themselves with re-

crew, seventeen in number, gathered upon the
forecastle. The officers called upon them to come
down, which they refused to do. Three rounds

We are unable to enumerate the new Jury bill
AMONG the wholesome statutes enacted at the last
session of the Legislature Itpassed both Houses,
and was about TO be cent to the Governor for sigma
ture, when motion to reconsider the vote in the
Senate was made and prevailed. The bill was then

pressure against this measure as to bring about It's
defeat. but we have good reason for believing such
to be the iact.
TIE proposed law was designed to obviate iiff-
clty which has almost insured an acquttal or disa
greement of the Jury in many capital cases, as was
strikingly shown on the Baker trials. Its imme-
diate object was doubtless to secure an honest and
impartial panel for the trial of Mrs. Cunningham
and Eckel next month. As the law now stands,
person who has either formed or expressed fixed
opinion Of the guilt innocence OF the accused
he absolutely set sside, without inquiry into the
source Of his opinion, by the Court. as matter of
law. But if juror has not formed or expressed
sn opinion, be may be challenged on the ground
that be- is biased for or sgsinst the accused This
which is question Of fact, is determined by two
jurors, "triers" acting as a sudbury, it were,
before whom the juror is subjected to all manner of
INQUIRIES IS to what be has heard or read, and its
effect upon him. If On examination they lind the
Juror 10 be biased in either direction, be is set
aside; if the contrary, he is sworn unless per,
enptorily challenged which may be done in twenty
cases by the accused.
The proposed law gave two peremptory chal-
lenges TO the people, and went on to provide that
no opinion, bias or prejudice should, as matter of
law, exclude juror, if founded upon hearsay or
newspaper reports of evidence. II. on the other
hand, it was founded upon personal knowledge or
accounts given to the juror himself by those per-
sonsly cognizant of the facts, it was to prove suf
fcent ground for his exclusion. Till some such
enactment find place upon our statute books il
