The MURDER CALENpAR.-We are compelled
to lay before our readers today the particulars
of several shocking murders and assaults with
murderous intent, which have taken place in
this city within the past two days. The record
is as unprecedented as il is horrible. In the
most densely populated parts of the city men
and women fall beneath the weapon of the as
sassn. Four times during one night the dread
cry of murder" perces the stiffness of the night
air; and always the same result-the murderers
make their escape In one case a private
Waterman seizes an assassin but is obliged to
succumb, there being no police to aid him. 1t
is absolutely dangerous to walk in the lower
part of the city after nine o'clock at night. 1t
should he remembered also, that these murders
are not altogether the result of drunken
brawls, but that gangs of men infest certain
districts, robbing and killing with degree of
GOODNESS that proves generalization.
While all this is going on, the Commissioners
of Police sit and split hairs upon the question
as to whether or not they shall fill up the force
with the old or new men. The wise legislators
at Albany hampered US with many-headed
commission, which has SO many private in
terests to serve that it never can work together
for the public good. The men already appoint
ed hold their places snecures, conferred to
reward political services. They are responsible
to no one, and pay no more attention to the
windy proclamations of their superiors than to
the rogues who slip away while the police are
Longing and carousing in some snug grog-shop
or engineering political convention. If the
small wards in the lower part of the city are
thus unprotected, what must be the condition
of the scantily populated districts up town,
Unless the police force is speedily regulated,
thoroughly disciplined, and considerably aug
mented the number of murders and robberies
this winter will recall the horrid deeds of the
dark ages and the Commissioners will find their
power taken from them by Vigilance Com
mittee.

We spread before our readers this morning
the closing proceedings OF the Lecompton Kan
sas Constitutional Convention. with the peculiar
tints and shadings Of the anti-slavery cores
pondent of the New York Tribun,, and on the
pro-slavery side we append TO these Kansas re-
ports an editorial eulogium from the Washing
ton Irlon affording the most striking contrast
between the two sides Of the picture.
According to the correspondent of our Mig
ger worshipping contemporary, this Lecompton
Convention has been an offensive imposture-
its programme il but schedule of tricks and
dcceptions; and as for Governor Walker, he
"has accomplished all he came for, in securing
slave State constitution in reality, while ii Is
20 arranged that he and his compccrs can pre-
tend that the people have adopted it," The
same authority further assures US that among
the free State men Of Kansas "a feeling of rage
is the most common" that "at Topeka. when
the citizens got intelligence Of what was done,
some of them openly talked fight" and that
'.you may imagine their feelings when you see
the fruits Of the October election thus ieoparded
and their impudent enemy stepping in to rob
them even yet Of their rights" II further ap-
pears that "a free State Convention will now be
called to determine what action il is best TO
take" in reference to the elections arranged by
the Lecompton constitution makers
This il the anti-slavery view Of the matter,
and il must be admitted that IL Il painted in
colors Of the blacklist kind. But the Washing
ton Union dresses up the same tableaux in the
most brilliant hues of a June morning, with all
it, accessories of rosy clouds, singing birds and
blooming flowers. II says that 1.-THE vexed
question is settled-the problem is solved THE
dead point Of danger il passed-all serious
trouble about Kansas affairs is over and gone
Kansas comes into the Union on the principle
Of the great act which organized her and Ne.
braska as Territorial governments"
Between these violent extremes LET us cndca-
vor to compass a calm and rational view Of this
business In the outset, we assume that il Is
not certain that pro-slavery constitution will
he fastened upon Kansas; and on the other
side, that the question il not settled that
the problem IL not solved and that
"the dead point Of danger" b not
passed, but has yet 20 be passed. We
are not disposed to cry fraud and treachery in
anticipation Of treachery and fraud; nor are we
disposed to shout premature hsllelujsh over
the definite solution Of this Kansas trouble, We

Tho Damaged Railroads.

The new bridge Of the Erie road, inplace Of

sengers and freight are forwarded regularly
from the station foot of Duane and Reade SITS
via the New Jersey Central Road, to Great

ferry in operation at the broken bridge. We
presume passenger trains will run that way af
ter this, and cross their passengers and bag
gage by the ferry boat. There is little or no
hindrance to cattle trains, as the bullocks can
be unloaded, driven around and reloaded, in
one day. giving a very necessary and beneficial

damage on the Hudson River Road, and thu

addition to their present passenger and freight
business although the road is in good running
order. The trains on the Hudson River Road
run regularly to Hudson, and thence via the
Berkshire Road to Chatham -Four Corners, Ii

II miles to East Albany. The damage done

The News from Nicaragua.

The account from Nicaragua, received on
Saturday by the Tennessee, from the ". Y
Herald Of the Esd inst, show that the allied
troops, now under the command of Gen. Canas
are actively carrying out the plan of operations
which we announced month since had been
arranged by the Costa Ricans. Their whole
available force has been moved down to Rivas
and even to Virgin Bay on the lake shore
leaving. however, the route on the other hand
from Rivas to San Juan del Sur, open to Wal
kerr His position in Rivas seems to be rap
idly assuming the same form as that he hello
in Granada before its destruction, and two at
tacks on the enemy, made on the 26th aud
2Sth of January, were not successful, Hen
ningsen being obliged 20 return to Rivas. The
headquarters of Canas are said to be at Sar
Gorge, three miles from Rivas, which is com
ing to pretty close quarters. Should Walker
not be able to drive him from there in q
short time, he will have to abandon Riyas apc
concentrate all his strength at San Juan de
Sur
In the meantime Col. Iockridge is gallant
" working his way up the San Juan river
having already taken the strong Costa Ricar
fort at the mouth VT the Serapiqui, and hopes
soon to be at Castillo rapids, if not at Fort
San Carlos, near the lake outlet The CUES
ton of Walkers final overthrow probably
hangs upon his being able to hold out until
Lockridge can join him. But this junction
must take place within short time. or it will
not take place at ALL The treaty of peace
between our New York Commodores changes
materially the position of Lockridge toward
Walker, and when the new Governor Gener-
al, to be sent out by Garrison and Wander
bit, arrives at Greytown he will be as desi-
rous of getting rid of Walker and Henning-
zen as the two Commodores here have been to
get rid Of Commodore Law. He has been
shut out from the new transit route arrange
ment and the Nicaragua directory set up here,
and his General must go too.
Whatever events may betide Walker. lie
seems to have been excluded from the new
government formed for Nicaragua, while a
part of his flibusters, with all the new com
era he can obtain, is to establish better order
of things there.
This government will be recognized by Costa
RIGA and the other Central American States
and also by England, as we learn from our
London correspondent. This is the beginning
