This handsome majority was also obtain
ed in spite of a so called enactment, dug up
from the bogus legislature records, of which
six months residence was required in the
city as qualification for voter. This cut
off a large Free State vote which has come
into the Territory since spring.
A pro-slavery individual by the name of
Scroegs, got excited a few days since and
marched about the streets with loaded
double barrelled shotgun, swearing that he
would exterminate the whole race of Id
Abolitionists. Mr.. Haller, glorious young
Buckeye, took revolver, and catching old
Scroggs by the collar, ordered him about his
business. Scroggs didn't like the looks of
either Mr.. Haller or his revolver, and prom
ised to be very good and quiet if his life was
spared. In fact, the fire eaters are modify
ing their tone amazingly, and quitea num-
bcr of pro-slavery men are becoming i'm favor
of making Kansas Free State. They see
that the best interests of the Territory can
only be subserved in that way. Never was
the Free State party stronger or in better
spirits than at present.
FREE STATE MAN MURDERED.
Felix Brandon, a Free State man, recently
located a claim on the Delaware Lands,
above Grass Hopper Falls, whereon he built
cabin and made other improvements. On
Monday evening last, he was sleeping in a
tent with a companion, when some murder
Gus scoundrels shot through the canvass and
killed him instantly. The gentleman who
was sleeping with the murdered man, saw
some five men making off in the distance,
but was unable to distinguish any of them
The murder created great excitement in the
neighborhood, and attempts have been made
to secure the murderers; but as it is only a
Free State man that has been shot, I don't
suppose the government will think it worth
the while to cndeavor to make arrests.

ttsaIpt Murder,

The Troy papers report . brutal attempt at murder, near the city, by g Frenchman, named Jean sghiistine, on Sunday, night sth instant.
 Mr.Abram FoWlef, living on the Brunswick road, one mile from Troy, went to his barn'ear- ly on Sunday morning, to feed his cattle, and on lifting scnne grain with . pitchfork, the Frenchman, who was formerly employed by MT. F., started np exclaiming !" No stick me-" MT. Fowler told him he would not huyt him, but advised him to get upon the now, which he did. About ten o'clock he came into the h0nss and got some refreshment, and after an hour Uf two started on at the suggestion of MT. ; to go to Poestenkill, where he said that he hAd engaged to work. On going to bed at night Mrs. Fowler suggested locking the door, for she was afraid Jean would come back in the night he looked ugly. Mr. F. however laughed at her fears and left the door unlocked. Tbey he'd just fallen into a slumber when he was startled by . heavy blow on the bed and e cry fromshis wife. Oh, Abram, somebody has killed mev Ere he could spring to the floor, another blow followed, and his wife's fear flashing on his mind, he said, "Jean, this is pretty way to pay us by coming here to murder ns all ;" ,.:ssrr
 The assailant, who had not before spoken, said i" his master told him to kill them and he was going to do it." Mir. F. then grappled with him when some heavy weapon fell on the floor, and after severe struggle in which Mir. F. got several severe blows he succeeded in grasping him by the throat and thrusting him into corner. In the meantime, Mrs. Fowler had recovered from her stunning blows and to- gether they succeeded in binding him till the nsighbors could be rallied and an officer ob- tained, who forthwith secured him in jail to await his examination when MT. and Mrs. Fow- Ter ere able to ride to the city.
 The iastrnment used was an axe, but as the room was very dark, and he evidently struck at zaadom, they proyidentially received no fa- tal wounds and are getting along we'll
