Secretary of State Treasurer, Auditor, and the
two Clerks, to make the contract al what hey
mig deem fair rates. In all fairness and justice
to Mr.. White. whose business is mainly made up
BY this contract, he at least ought TO nave the
chance to take it at this bid as soon as any other
party. Nobody has called in question his AFFINITY

ter will again come up on motion to reconsider,

the whole subject a careful consideration MI.
White has all the means and appliances to do the
mint ne for the State and if he is willing TO do It
at a fair price, we submit that, having always
given salts faction. it would be injudicious, and
even haza JUS to trust it to new hands, without
very convincing reasons.
The above, from the Boston Journal of last
evening, expresses our sentiments. exactly. The
manner in which the State Printing has been per
formed by Mr.. White, has been highly creditable
TO him, and we learn has given the most entire
and perfect satisfaction 10 all departments of the
State government. If Mr.. White has had fat
jos from the State, he has had no more than those
who had charge ofthe matter were authorized by
lato to give, and no man can be justly blamed for
taking the price for his work stipulated in the
contract if it has been fairly performed. We know
some thing of the means and appliances that have
been set to work, all over the State. to suppant
the present incumbent of The Office of State Print

present session Of the Legislature, the agents Of
Mr.. Potter were perambulating the State, log.
rolling with the representatives. elect for their in
huence in the work of removing Mr.. White. to
give place to their employee, even when there was
no possible chance that the members could know
anything of the merits of the ease-and now,
last of all, failing in all other attempts to sup.
plant a true and faithful public servant, the
tactics are changed. and under the deceptive cry
of "retrcnchment and REFORM" the removal
OF Mr., White is sought to be accomplished by
under budding on the part of his competitor, in
the shape of proposal to do the work at less
than The regular rates. at sehic the same ,oork is
done f r individuals II there is a mechanic or
working man in the House or Senate who
believes in the principle of fair days wages for
fair days work, we trust he WILL by his vote to-
day, rebuke this attempt on the part of certain
spectators in State patronage, to commit the
Slate even to a seeming endorsement of this mis-
cradle system of undertaking, which is so inju-
rious to all mechanical enterprise, and which has
been the ruin of thousands of the most indus
trious artizans in the State.

Policy OF Gov. WALKER. Gov Robert J.
Walker of Kanzas, arrived in New York, on
Tuesday evening, on his way to Kanzas. He
was present at dinner party given by his
friend, Mr.. Kohnstamm, at the Astor House,
and took occasion to make very clear and
explicit statement of the principles which
would govern his administration in the Terri
tory. He declared his fixed determination to
do everything in his power to secure for the
people Of the Territory full. free, and I'M
qiassed vote upon the Constitution which was
offered for their adoption. He believed this
to be their right, right guaranteed to them
by the fundamental law of the Territory, and
by the Constitution of the United States. He
should consider il not only point of law and
of special duty, but point of honor as man
and gentleman, to do everything in his now
er to secure them such vote. All the other
questions which had created dissension in the
Territory, he considered merely preliminary to
this, and if this were properly adjusted, all
the dissension in the Territory would cease
The Governors remarks were received with
great favor. He remains in New York only
day or two, and will depart Immediately for
Kanzas.

KANzAs.-The Leavenworth correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune gives the following
illustration of the manner in which justice is
administered in Kanzas
"Some rich developments have been made
in the U. S. District Court of late, which
prove low debased and corrupt our legal tri-
6unals in the territory have been. On last
wednesday, the case of Henderson Small
wood came up Tor trial, before Judge Le-
compile. Mr.. Smalwood was among those
who acted as judge at Readers election to
Congress, For this offense, he was arrested
and put under heavy bonds but his trial was
adjourned over several terms Of the Court.
At last, however, the day came when the case
would be disposed of. When it was called
up, Mr.. Smallwood's counsel requested to see
the indictment against his client After some
ridiculous investigation, it was announced
that there soas no Indictment. No indictment,
no presentment of any kind, and yet Mr..
Smallwood had been arrested and held to bail,
upon what Upon a mere bench warrant,
which lacked even the signature of the court.
And 1t now appears that Judge Lecompte has
been in the habit of imprisoning and fining
Free State men upon the strength of bench
warrants"
1t was discovered that twenty others were
in the same position as Mr.. Smallwood, and
that gentleman's counsel moved that all should
be discharged. This, after some hesitation.
finding himself cornered, Judge Lecompte
was obliged TO do. Caleb May was tried for
acting as judge at Reeders election, and &C.
quilted.
1t is reported that the free State men have
obtained controlling influence in the town
of Atchison, noted as the home of Stringfel-
low, and the rendezvous of all the border ruff
fan gangs that have infested the territory and
have bought out the Squattey Sovereign, es-
tablishing in its place free State paper, and
are busily at work converting the place into a
fourishing town.
The same correspondent says it was the pre-
vailing that the aoAe proSe9uis would be en-
tered in the case of the free State prisoners
whose trial was soon to come off at Lecompte.
The Supreme Court had been imbued with a
very wholesome fear of the free State party,
and were fearful of extreme meaeures. Up
to the 4th inst, the emigration into the terri
tory continued undated. There was still
considerable suffering among the free State
families.
