Auolher Victim in Kanzas.


The latest news from Kanzas is of the murder
of Mr.. Shoemaker of Leavenworth This could
not surprise any one acquitted with his position
in the Territory. He went out there an admins
tration Democrat, and held the important post of
Rsceiver. General for the Public Lands Like
many others of his party, actual experience soon
made him active free State man. For this
reason, solely, he was removed from office, and
more plant tool appointed. Under these cireun-
stances, he became peculiarly obnoxious to the
Missourians, and was driven out OF Leayenworth
last August, during the riots.
well remember riding with him from Law
renee to Lecompton, one cold, windy day. He
told me his whole story. He was then full of
hope, for he had had some encouragement to ex-
pect that Gov Geary would organize company
OF free State militia, under his command to be
stationed at Leavenworth, to preserve ORDER
This he was confident he could do, with fifty
men,proyided they could act under U. S sanction.
He was SO confident, that he begged me to come
to Leavenworth and breach on slavery the dly
before election, promising to secure the right Of
free speech. But the plan Of the company fell
through, and when saw, afterward, what Leav
enworth was, | could appreciate the courageous
character of the man. He had, moreover ener-
gy, ability, and great personal size and strength.
His death is thought to have been previously
planned. He was invited to drink, by six pro-
slavery men, at hotel, and unfortunately com.
Piled. Some one proposed the health of the bor-
der rufian Mayor of LeavenwoIth, Mr.. Murphy.
He put down his glass and refused the toast At
this, the six suddenly attacked him, and so injur-
ed him that he soon died of his wounds.
Why blame these assassins, as special sinners
They only executed, a little prematurely, the act
just approved by Gov. Geary, which provides
death as the punishment of political offences.
So the work goes on. Kanzas and Oregon
planning to cone in as slave States-the Supreme
Court accomplishing three atrocities at a single
blow! What says the North, meanwhile :" A
little more sleep, little more slumber" Let
us, above all things have flour years of quiet and
peace, so that we may again proceed to the de-
velopment of the material interests of the CONT
nent" T.w. H.

BAD USES OF IKE CRINoLINE.-On Satur-
day evening, two women, well attired, entered
the store of Messrs, Rowe Brothers, Jewellers.
No. 10 Salem street, Boston, for the purpose,
as was supposed. Of making purchases. One
Of them engaged the attention of member
Of the firm, while the other quietly went to
the safe, turned the key, aud took out con.
siderable amount Of jewelry. Mr.. Richard
Rowe, the senior partner, heard the noise, and
Immediately turning from her friend, with
whom he had in vain endeavored to trade,
confronted her to ascertain the amount Of
plumber she had obtained. She denied all
knowledge of thieving, however, with the
most solemn protestations OF her innocence.
This was not satisfactory to Mr. Rowe; he
persisted in an examination Of her dress, when,
amid copious flow of tears, aud earnest en-
treaties not TO expose her offence publicly,
there were drawn forth from the folds of her
crinoline, valuable watch aud two chains.
She manifested so much contrition and re-
pentance afterwards, that she was allowed to
leave. but unfortunately, as o recompense for
the Messrs. Rowes leniency, it was too late
discovered that .he woman had in some way
secreted and carried off watch of consider.
able value. She was unquestionably sharp
woman, and doubtless thinks crinoline an in
etitutiOn.
