The Buchanan press is beginning
to warm up and wakcn into life
The Hamilton Telegraph remarks:
"Iresident Buchanan was the first
choice OF Butler county, and of the
Third Congressional District, at the
Cincinnati Convention. We partic.
ipated in that preference and we are
proud to say that every act Of the
President since his Inauguration has
strengthened and confirmedit. The
opposition which he now encounters
inside and outside the Democratic
party, reminds us Of the onslaught,
made upon 'Old Hickory in the

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, Dec. II.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, Dec. II.
The cases of the eleven contested
seats from I.eavenworth county, came
up in the Legislature Immediately
after its organization. The certiti.
Gates in these cases, as you will re-
collect, were given to "NatiOnal
Democrats" - the official returns
showing majority Of about two hun
cred for that ticket. But by the
enormous frauds practiced at Kicka-
poo, several hundred bogus votes
were polled. "...,~
The Legislature took the matter
in hand, and after receiving testimony
and examining the returns, "ousted'
the illegally elected Members on
Friday and Saturday, and admit.
ted the Free State men. This
gives the Free State party not only
the absolute control OF the Legisla.
ture, but with some half dozen cx-
ceptions, all its members. One o.
the Pro Slavery members from AT
Gibson, sent in his resignation on
Friday. Hs...
The only important action yet ia
ken by the Legislature is the passage
of Militia law, which took place on
Saturday. 1t establishes a Military
Board, consisting ola Major Gen
eral, Inspector General, Adjutan
General, Quartertermaster General
Oommissary General eight Brigadiel
Generals, and the COMMANDMENT
Chief, or Territorial Governor. Thil
Board or a majority of it, has power
and it is made its duty, to organize
Immediately the militia ofthe Terri
tory. 1t is also competent to cal
outth militia to muster or drill il
a case Of emergency,or at the call o
a civil officer; take charge of th,
arms, etc., etc. .s
The Legislature will probably no
adjourn before the middle of thu
present week. The same Free Stat,
Delegate Convention which met il
Lawrence on the 3nd inst, is callet
to re-assomble here on the 23rd.

New York Banks.

The New York Banks have all
resumed specie payment. This cir
cumstance is looked upon as favora.
bic to the restoration of business to
its former condition. How far it will
accomplish this, remains to be tested.
1t will take good deal Of money
even hard money, to restore the lost
confidence, which is 80 essential in
successful business operations
These money panics arc usually not
the creatures Of n day. Under the
most favorable circumstances, it takes
business men some time to find their
bearings.

Sr. LOUIS, Dec. %.

OI. hVulSs DCC. SS'
A letter to the Democrat, dated
Leavenworth, 10th says that Gen.
Lane was shot at Lccompton by a
Government official, whose name
was not given, on the evening OF the
18th inst. The affair grew out Of a
political discussion. Much excite
ment prevailed.
Dispatches from Boonville, this
morning, say that Major Russell,
Capt. Van Vleit and G. M. Sanders
passed down the river last evening
en- route for Washington. They
left Leavenworth on the 10th inst.
Stanton was still acting governor,
and apparently with the appreciation
of Gen. Denver.
Gen, Harney has despatched two
companies Of cavalry upon Stanton's
requisition, to repress a rebellion at
Fort Scott, where several lives had
been sacrificed.
Gen. llarney also posted troops at
Doniphan, Atchison, Kickapoo,
Leavcnworth, Lawrence and Lecomp
ton.
1t is thought that the Legitimate
vote will be very small, but many
Missourians are going INTO the Ter
