TOPEKA, X. T., June 9, 1S57-p. m.
The State Legislature met this morning but as
quorum had not yet arrived, adjourned until to-
morrow at 10 o'clock. Members have been arrv-
ing all day. There is quorum Of the Senate here
to-day.
Gov. r. j. Walker is here to-day. He has been
here several days, He made speech here last
Saturday evening His remarks were to the same
tune as all his other addresses. Part OF his
remarks were favorably received, but the bulk
of them called oct comments from his audience by
no means palatable to the intriguing Governor. In
one of his peroratons, he asked, "Where is your
sremedy1 What are you to do" when the
people shouted, in a voice of thunder, "The Topeka
Constitution"
The PrO-Slayery men have meditated the breaking
ND of the State Legislature by violence. An effort
was made TO the cooperation OF the troops Tor
that purpose. This there is no preparation LOT
doing lit is reported that Cow Walker said that II
the action of the Legislature was OF an affirmative
character he would have it broken up. III he said
20. think it was merely threat to coerce their
action. go 80,
AS matters are he is hand in glove with all the
broken down Offce-seekers and dlsaftected Free
State men. He carries on his diplomacy chiehy IN
secret and with willy cunning His great aim seems
TO be TO emasculate and weaken the Free-State
cause. He does not hazard direct policy of hos
tilty. His aim is clearly to prevent the Legislature
from taking any action now, that the tree-State
sauatters will lose confidence i'll it, and thus fall an
easter prey to the strength Of their enemies, who are
still actively at work. He still gives general
promises of fairness, but avoids committing himself
on any point; shuns all notice of the fraudulent
census and villainous apportionment. He has been
busy recommending the people OF the DISTINGUISHED
districts to 20 and elect delegates trusting that
the Law and Order" Convention will admit their
delegates to seats This is meant TO cover up the
greatest inquity of this bogus census, as the ad.
mission of one or two Free-State delegates would
be cheap mode of purchasing this.
The Convention met this forenoon, by electng
Col. j. III. Lane President, and - Hutchinson
Secretary The resolutions reported after din.
per. The first three which send, were adopted
without discussion by unanimous vote. The Con-
yention is now engaged in animated discussion OF
resolution as substitute, which urges the Lcgisa-
ture to complete their work. and recommends
the people at once to make it vital Government.
The other position is, that the organization shall be
also fully completed, and shall 90 into force when
admitted into the Union, or when NECESSITY
arises" There are advocates for both.
Gov. Walker speaks at Big Springs tomorrow:
He is here with some ladies, his i" man Friday and

HALL OF REPRESENTATIVES, Topeka, !
Wednesday Morning, June II, 1857. !


Until yesterday afternoon quorum was not OBJ
tanned in the House 1t was dusk before quorum
was obtained in the Senate. There have been a
few more arrivals, and there is working body
here. Before the quorum was obtained the time
was spent in calling the roll and sending after alb
sentees and in going into informal joint sessions
TO deliberate what should be done. The following
resolution passed yesterday morning. after discussion
during two Of such conventions:
Rosed Tba, the proper Committee prepare and report
After quorum was obtained in the Houss,
resolution was adopted declaring vacant the seats
Of thirteen members who had been absent when the
Legislature convened in July and January last.
Capt Charles Lenhart was elected Sergeant-at-
Arms, aud sworn in by the Speaker, Mr.. William
Hutchinson.
The Speaker completed the committees by appoint
inc Messrs. Morrow, Leonhardt and Giddings on
Elections: Blood and Foster of Osawatame, on
Judiciary: Morrow and Foster of Napoleon, on

Mr.. Blood offered resolution that committee
Of three be appointed to frame memorial tor I'M
mediate admission into the Union. 1t was carried.
Similar proceedings marked the action OF the
Senate Yesterday. observation-disclosures Roberts
is here presiding over that body. The Senate sue
ceeded in getting quorum just at dark. A joint
committee of both Houses waited Oh Gov. Robinson,
who sent the message l incose. 1t was received
with evident satisfaction Both Halls were crowded
with spectators, who could not altogether be kept
from sppauding. Five thousand copies were ordered
to be printed in English and one thousand in Ger
man. A considerable portion OF the message re-
views the inaugural Of Gov. Walker.
Secretary Perrin came up here to hear, and
get copy of the Message. There are still rumblng
threats, but the strong position Of the FreeState
cause makes opposition almost hopeless. l do not
think that Walker will dare to send troops here to
break up this body, aud nothing else will venture.
Ii was the discouragements OF the past and the
fear of arrest and bloOdshed that kept many away,
and hence the trouble OF getting quorum which has
consumed three days. The Legislature is determin-
ed. One or two persons IN II have been reached by
outside pressure-perhaps Walker-and urge that
nothing be dene but memorabilia Congress, aud
adjourn. different sentiment prevails. Work for
complete State and County organization, and for
organizing the C,trts, is in the hands of the Com
nlittees, which are preparing it. They viii not
adjour. without practical legislation.
