Excellency were also armed in preparation

would expect the ruf1ians made no attack,
they were not numerous enough, and all

The correspondent of the Cincinnati Gas-
ette says: On Saturday last, at Tecumseh,
an attempt was made to murder Reporter
by the pro-slavery crew, headed by Rush
Elmore, formerly Associate Judge of the
Supreme Court of this Territory. Mr.. Ka-
zia, of ofTopeka, correspondent of the N. Y
Times and National Era, had incurred the
displeasure of Gilmore by his reports of the
proceedings of the pro-slavery officials; and
the latter has several times threatened to
shoot Kazia at the first opportunity,
| So, on Saturday, assisted by Marshal Par
dee and others, the Judge got L. into a fa
vorable position to be attacked, and with q
heavy cane commenced beating him over
the head, indicting severe wound. K. i'm
mediatolv drew his revolver and fired, the
shot taking effect in Elmore's right thigh
causing bad wound. The Judge lodged
behind brick column, drew his pistol, and
fred at K, striking him on the right breast
the ball passing through memorandum
book and other papers in his coat pocket
and lodged in his ribs. He is not serious
ly injured, however, and is expected soon t.
recover. The book and papers in his pocl,
ct probably saved his life.
The Judge discharged his revolver sec
ond time without effect, and then both par
ties retrcated from the field. Kaizia is do
ing we'll; the Judge is rather bad off.
Elmore and his friends evidently intend
ed to murder Kaizia, for Pardee afterward
expressed his surprise that the Judge shoul
miss killing the ID abolition reporter
for the pistol was loaded expressly for tho
purpose.
: Mr.. Kaiza was one of the Hickory Poin
prisoners, captured by order Of Gov. Geary
and during his confinement at Lecomptor
he was regular correspondent to the Nd
tional Era and other papers.
