GOV. NlbkER CONDEMNED BE
Tue ADMINISTRATION.

ton of the pretended vote of Oxford pre-
cinet; aud this, bis solitary act Of fairness,
the Administration deeply regrst, and would
openly condemn and reprdiate, if they da-
red TO do 50
The evidence upon this point l. decisive.
We have already noticed the fact, that
the gentleman who prepares the relegraphie
dispatches from this ciiy TO the associated
press, announced, on The 30th of October,
that the Administration "fmphatioally con-
.dtmnsd'' Gov. Walker. and would remove
him If he did not resign. Gu rle next day,
this statement was corrected as erroneous,
although declared to have been made on au-
thority 'susuoiiy correct and reliable"
The New York Joe7mul of Commerce de-
clares that the despatch Of October 30th
sought 10 be entiysiy discrsdifed, . aud that
it was probably, 'goite" up 10 influence the
,iectionsa unfavorably to the Adninistra-
ticn.
Undoubtedly be fact alleged in this de-
s!atch is a most danlpatory one, as respects
the Administration but that;it was sub
stautially true, can be clearly -shswn.
The gentleman who furnishes the daily
dispatches to the associated press, is em-
ployed at the office of the Unson, aud both
bis position aud politics negative the idea
that he made a wiful misrepresentation,
for the purpose Of iniuling the Administra-
tnn.
On the same 30fh Of October, 'when his
despatch went to the associated press, the
following despatch went over the wires to
the Richmond Houth
'.There Is no doubt that the Administra-
tion feel outraged at the course of Gov
Walker in Kansas, N purging Tie polls,
contrary to specific instructions not to act
as Judge in rhe premises. There is little
doubt that both Walker aud Stanton will
be recalled, unless they voluntarily resign,
or facts as yet unknown cume TO light re-
earding or justifying their extraordinary
course"
On the ID of November, TIE Washington
Star, one of the organs, said
"Goc Waike1 and Johnston County. We |
apprehend that the Journal of Commerce is !
in error in its heliefth that there is no fouhda- |
tion whatever for the statements of Wash |
ingtou letters for the press, attributing TO
the Administration dissatisfaction with the /
course pursued by Cav. Walker, with ref /
erencc 10 the alleged election frauds in
johnson county Kansas. We do not, how
ever, believe that The disappro5ariou ofthat
course, which the Administration is said to /
entertain, is so great rs to justify the news
paper correspondential statements that the
design of removing him is entertained. =
"Thus, for twenty-four hours, it seemed
Ito be believed by usually well-infoEned
persons around rs, that in assuming, as al
legged, TO decide upondhe character Of the
johnson county returns setting aside the
certificates of judges~of the election, andis-
suing his warrants, emitting them to TO huld
seats in the Legislature, to candidates re-
turned to him by the said judges as having
been defeated he has Overstepped his au-
thUrity, under the circumstances, in a most
delicate point; acting, in fact, directly con-
irary TO his instructions. Our impression
is, that in few days those instructions will |
be published &c.
1t was during the "farenty four hours"
immediately following the news that Gov.
Walker had spoiled all their plans, that
those unmeasured EXPLANATIONS of rage, |
which were the basis of the dispatches to
the associated press and to the Richmond
South I
Now let us hear the account given of the
matter by the correspondent of the New
York Herald another Administration mouth

to receive the returns, and let the Legisla-
ture determine their character.
'sThe friends of Gov. Walker here say
that he committed an error-the wonder is
