We have Kansas dates BY telegraph to tbs 10Th.
1t is reported that Gen. Lane had been shot BY .
Government officer and that serious excitement
en,ued; the report, however, is dissredited BY .
later dbpatch. Stanton was still Acting Governor,
without opposition. He had, however, called
for troops to suppress an alleged rebellion at Fort
Scott, where, report says, several lives had boom
lost. Gen. Harvey had also posted troops in al the
large towns. Tho real vote WAS exposted to be
lisht but kordes Of Miascurians wore pouring ovsr
TIE border TO regnaet the Oxford frauds, and this
fact it was thought probable would, in connection
with STATIONS removal, lead 70 bloodshed. 1t u
EVIDENT that tho Border Rufians look upon the
Presidents removal Of Mr. Stanton IS full in
dorsement in advance Of any excuses they may
choose 10 commit, ard they are prepared to plsy .
bold end reckless game.

Asain, in ls54, Wood was candidate foe xsyos

new proof Of party confidence in being chosen

Notwithstanding his uniform opposition to Wood.
Mr.. McKeon has uniformly been invited to address
the Democracy Of tho city; nor have they eVw
called in question bis fidelity to big rsrty principles

OPPONENT Of slave traders and 6llibustsu. He'd ell

when that trade Ia coming into favor with IL.
Buchanan's Southern supporters, he may hvs
consider red the zeal Of Mr.. McKeon to enforce 80
laws against it as somewhat unreasonable ana
irconvepieat. An anti fillibuster District Attorney

Life is full Of surprises. We had rever thought
to be- laid under obligation by Fernando Wood;
vet here 70 are to return our thanks and to OK
press our gratitude. That parsonage has sent to
the Common Council Message refusing his apprO-
val to an ordinance for the payment of little bill
for advertisements, which that distinguished body
Rad ordered TO be inherited in the columns Of this
journal. Al the order was legal and proper, aud
the work faithfully performed we are not concern
ed about the final payment Of tho charge NO
doubt we shall get our money in due time, whether
with or without the consent OF Dir. wooo' IL"
not bis refusal then, which we regard as ia7of'
but the reasons and manner Of it, and tor those We
hereby tender him our hearty thanks
The rial essence of the Mayors message is that
he regards THE TRIBUNE as having csu'ed bic re-
cent defeat and added an overwhelming popular
verdict to the decisions Of referees and Of Courts a.
we'll as to his own plea Of the statute OF mutations, al
prcc,aimpg him guilty Of very base and small kinds
of fraud. We appreciate the compliment and
70 some extent we admit the imputatiOn. We
have indeed done our humble share in the work OF
his overthrow, and for the credit Of tho community
We are ashamed to remember how long We have
lnbored at il. tits now some years since we began
70 expose bis eharacter and illuminate his dark aud
sipuous cneer. We set about il with no hope Of
immediate success; We kept to it when our fellow
laborrs we're few, divided and weak; but We have
fir ally seen the movement crowned with triumph.
Ard though we are far from claiming all the credit
which Mr. Wood would fain bestow upJn Us, and
thtush We behold the main cause Of his dowDf. in the
wise aud patriotic union of honest men Of all parties
in support Of Mr.. Temapn we will cheerfully admit
with the defeated asplran!, that had THE TRIBUNE
rurrued less decided lees persistent course, the
result might have been otherwise, and the City
nigh. have enjoyed the blessings Of bis administrs'
ion for several additional terms.
Mr. Wood puts down THE TRIBUNE A. lbelous
aid scuIrilous sheet, to be excluded BY all who
value the reputation ard morals Of the community.
We shall not quote in reply the weil-known coup

Our Kansas correspondence by mail ia to the
10th inst. The business Of the Legislature il fally
detailed. The rules Of the Topeka Legislature had
been adopted by the House. In the matter of the
contested seat, for Lynn County, the Free-Stass
members were admitted. The Kickapoo frauds
were exposed, it appearing that after the Judges
had made up and signed the return Of tho votes,
about 900 in all, some seven hundred names had
been written on the lists after the signatures Of the
Judges. Final action in the case was deferred.
One Of the Pros!Avery representatives from Atohi.
son resigued on the 18th. Mr.. Ross of Tho Topeka
Tribune is elected printer, in joint Convention. A
bill providing for submitting the Lecompton Con-
stitution TO popular vote hI been introduced;
also, q bill to give Probate Judges jurisdo-
ten in criminal oases. A resolution reafirmng
the Topeka Constitution i, to be adopted, signed
and sent to the President Congress and State Gov
errors. The House passed militia law, repeating
all Others and providing for a major general and
eight brigadiers and other officers to form Mil.
tary Board, organize and enroll all men subject to
duty. Our correspondent thinks the Legislature
will adjourn soon, there being but little real bust
ness 10 do.
The feeling against the Leeomptcn Constitution
is intense, and the prevailing sentiment was to
vote il down. and lot Congress admit Kansas
under il ii they dare, with the alternative Of civil
war. The bogus Democracy have made some
weak NOMINATIONS for State officers, headed by
Frank Marshall for Governor.
