They Feared TO do II.

Tho st. Louis Democrat, which is thor
oughly posted in all Kansas matters says
"The Republican has proclamation is.
sued by Walker and Stanton, Governor
and Secretary of the Territory of Kansas,
pronouncing the 1000 votes cast at Ok.
ford precinct, in johnson county, fraudu-
lent and illegal. This gross and outrage
GUS fraud was too plain and palpable, even
for the miserable tools of the Pro-Slavery
party Walker himself induced the soldiers
to vote in defiance of the organic laws
and statutes Of the Territory. Ho was
present at the Polls in Kickapoo, where
seven or eight hundred votes were poled
by population not containing more than
three hundred voters This he permitted
and encouraged; but 1900 votes in a vo.
ting population of one hundred was rath
or too much, even for Isothermal, espec-
tally as he was fully notified by the FREQ
State men that shey were prepared TO re-
sist this outrage to the last extremity.
Walker admits this in his proclamation,
and the correspondent of the RepuJL,caa
shows most conclusively that this was
what brought Walker to his senses. It was
the Knowledge that preparation was made
to resist to death the attempt, to which
Walker was himself privy, Of carrying the
Kansas Legislature by another infamous
fraud, that compelled him to desist from
the attempt, and exclude the vote Of John
son county.

From the Charlotte Republican: {
Edmuud BOILER, the Landing Incendiaey.

The incendiary who was arrested at Lam
sing, in the act Of setting. fire TO the
Church of the United Brethren. and who
probably started all the fires of that dis
astrous Saturday night, and came so near
being lynched on the spot by the infurated
popsIace, gave his name, when first ar
rested, rs Edmund Hawkins, but after
wards confessed that il was Edmund b.
bier. This Edmund Bobier was resident
of this village in January and February Of
1855, during which time he was clerk
in the store of Mr. William L. Lyon. Fail
ing TO give satisfaction, he was discharged
before he remained in the store a month.
Mr.. Lyon afterwards found some reason to
conclude that he was dishonest His de-
structiveness excited the attention and sur
prise of all who knew him. He would take
a valuable piece of property. whether be-
longing to himself or any one else, and
wantonly break, smash, cut, or otherwise
injure it, and then indulge in fit of hear
ty laughter over the exploit. If a fellow
clerk had an ivoryIpen holder which he
valued, Bobier would deliberately pick it
up and snap it into with good natured
laugh. On one occasion, as he was pass
ing up stairs to bed, he saw nice hat
belonging to employer, and punched his
first through the crown. While here, he
wantonly smashed a watch belonging to
himself with no other cause than the graft
fication of his mania. On another occa-
sion, in the town of Roxand, in the North
part Of this County, where he resided for
time, he struck an AK through the top of
valuable trunk, not in anger, or under
the effect of liquor, or for the sake of plum
der but in cool good nature. This last
act cost him twenty-five dollars to settle.
He was rather intelligent, though no one
who knew him, liked him, or considered
him worthy Of confidence. That act of
firing 80 many buildings at Lansing, was
undoubtedly the effect Of his ruling pro-
pensity unusually excited by the liquor,
which, according to the testimony, he had
been drinking during Saturday and Satur-
day night. We do not believe he had any
accomplices or any premcditated design,
or that there is a gang of such fellows
scattered through the country, as many
seem to believe. He is probably one in
ten thousand, and it would have been bet
ter for himself and society if hc could have
had the restraint of State Prison long be-
fore he inflicted such an injury upon the
citizens of Lansing.
