Gov. Walker and the Administratf

Gov. Walker and the Administration
The first act of justice which Gov Walker
has rendered the Free State men of Kansas
has ruined himself with the Administration.
From reliable intelligence daily received from
Washington it appears that the President
openly censures the course Walker pursued
in rejecting the Oxford Precinct returns /;
and while be will not now take the RESPONSE
bility of removing him, he will nevertheless
endeavor to compel his resignation. This
course is necessary to satisfy the Southern
ultras.
The Day Book, the leading Democratic
organ, thus speaks:
Whatever may be the final action of the
President upon this matter, there can be no
doubt it has created a greater commotion in
the Cabinet than any other act of Gov. Wal.
ker. This dilemma for the Presidents con-
sideration is very distinct one. He must
either abandon the terms Of the organic law
of Kansas or else he must condemn Gov.
Walker. That law gives Gov. Walker no
power to act in the manner he has. He must
therefore be remOUed, or he must resign. He
cannot stayin Kansas any longer, for lie has for
feited the good opinion of,he Democrats of the
TERRITORY, and his continuance there will in
yolve the country in an agitation which will
endanger the success of Mr.. Buchana's Ad-
m,nistration, and fairly rend asunder the
Democratic party.

Rioting of the Unemployed in New
York. lr ~
The threats of personal violence uttered by
a number of unemployed working men at
their meeting on Monday, do not appear to
have been idle or unmeaning. Yesterday q
squalld troop OF men, old women, boys and
girls tore down the wooden ratings which sur
rounded Tompkins Square, and carried them
OIL for firewood. Hammers and axes were
vigorously applied to root up the posts which
remained fast in the ground, and so success
fully was the work accomplished that. were
it not for the trees, the Square would now
present the appearance of vast vacant lot
Even the benches were carried off. Another
party encountering bakers wagon in Ave-
nue. B, made an attack upon it, and seized
some fifty loaves. Many articles were stolen
from stores where they were placed upon the
sidewalk for show, and general closing OF
stores of all kinds was the necessary conse-
quence throughout that quarter of the CITY.
Deputy Superintendent Carpenter instructed
the commanding officers of the different pre-
cincts not to withdraw the men stationed at
the polls on any account whatsoever, and to
keep the rest of their force in the station
houses, in readiness to be dispatched to any
quarter where their services might be needed.
The rowdyism which prevailed to some ex-
tent in some portions of the city, was looked
upon as feint to draw the police away from
the polls and in consequence the spirit of
lawlessness spent itself for the want of oppo-
sitlon to give zest to its enjoyment.

Facilities for Getting Produce to Mar
ket during the Winter.

The New York Herald of the I'd inst. re-
ferrins to the insufficient supply of bread
stuffs at the East says:
The country at large has abundant sup
plies OF food, and this must, by some means,
be brought to the consumers Indeed, one
OF the singular features of the present crisis
is, that the harveSts have been abundant
The Western States have never produced
such crop as is nov stored in their barns
1t is est mated that Illinois alone has one
hundred and sixty million bushels of bread
stufs, which, but for the disarrangement of
currency, would be moving forward to mar
X t; and Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio
are full OF wheat and corn. The ordinary
means OF transportation eastward by the
lakes and canals are practically at an end for
the present season, and it is manifest that
there is not now supply sufficient for the
demands of the East until spring The rail-
roads will be taxed to their full full extent to
furnish transportation for it during the win
ter; aid at present it would seem that they
must derive profit from it. The West is
in much more favorable position now than
ever before to get her crop to market in the
winter season. The navigation of the Ohio
and Mississippi is exceedingly good now, ow-
ing to the unusual rains, and the present
state Of the water indicates navigation from
the mouth of the Ohio during the winter
The network of railroads through Illinois and
Ind ana, leaning to st. Louis and Cairo at the
mouth of the Ohio, will furnish facilities to
ship breadstuffs from those States and Wis
consln: by way of New Orleans, during all
the winter months. The present prices in the
markets of the Atlantic cities and abroad
would render shipments, even from Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and Northern Illinois, highly remu-
lucrative. Wheat in sacks can now be tr rs
ported from Chicago to England by railroad
to Cairo, and thence by steamboat to New
Orleans, and landed in Liverpool at less than
81 per bushel, and yield a profit of forty or
fifty per cent.

Comparing these returns, we find that
there were 56,364 more votes cast at the
Presidential election, a year since than at the
late Gubernatorial election. Mr.. Chase did
not receive as many votes as we're cast for
Fremont by 26,929. Payne falls behind the
Buchanan vote IL 300. OF the Fremonters
who failed to vote for Chase, there were

their figures for this election are 10, 500, Ia
falling off from the Fillmore vote of IL 1926.
If Mr.. Payne had received as many votes as
were given Buchanan, he would have beaten
Chase 1896 votes in other words, Bu
chanan's vote was 1896 stronger than the
vote cast at this election for Chase.
In the Gubernatoaial struggle two wears
ago, the vote stOOd-Chase, 1864 Me-

pears that Governor Chase received on his
second run 1884 more votes than on his
first Payne gains on the Medill vote o.

largest number of votes ever cast for can

The S1KHs.-Half million of hardy war
like people have occupied the Punjaub for
three centuries. They held their sandy north
ern desert against the English a hundred
years after the Hindoos of the south had
submitted. While the cred cross fag' waved
over its millions Of docile Hindoo servants,
the sturdy Sikhs kept on raising cam
els, weaving shawls and plundering caravans
son their own hook" They even invaded
Bengal in lS45, boarding the BIRTHS Lion in
his den: 1t was four years before they yield
ed to the British. They worship beef and
Bramah, but not the Brahmins, hate the Sc
p US and Gisbelieve in caste. The British
are marching these Sikhs down to Delhi
now by the thousand, to suppress the Sepoy
revolt. 1t IS little curious that the men
who fought longest against the English should
be the most loyal now in time of revolt, and
that their newest conquests should be their
main dependence for saving the older ones.-

Emigration to the West this Fall.

The newspapers in many parts of the West
say that emigration is nearly as heavy this
fall as it was last spring. The fall is deemed
as good season for farmers, or even agricul-
tural laborers to emigrate as the spring. The
land can be broke, and fences built, and the
farm got ready generally for operations in
the spring. Next season, indications fore
shadow a tremendous immigration: those
who have come West this fall, seem but to
be preparing the way for the hosts who will
seek our fertile prairies and beautiful lakes
next summer. Come on-there will be ROOM
and homes for all who may come, for years
vet.

man, some time since, sent forth challenge
to the world-but probably intended more

race, four miles and repeat, for 100000,
over the Ten Brock Course at Savannah,
with the proviso that if the American horse
was the winner, $4,000 should be refunded to
the losing horse to pay expenses. The Lon
don Sunday Times insists that company
shall be formed in England to accept the chal-
lenge, and thus test the superiority OF the
horses of the two countries The Times calls
upon Lord Zetland to become the British
champion. and send out his noble horse
Skirmsher "to do battle against the Ameri-
can celebrities The indications now are
that the challenge will be accepted, and the
match come off hext season, in which case
we n.ay look for the greatest and most excit-
ing race that the world ever witnessed.

A sHREwD countryman was in Gotham
some days ago-gawky, uncouth and inno-
cent enough in appearance, but, in reality,
with his eye-teeth cut. Passing up Chatham
street, through the Jews quarter he was
continually encountered with opportunities
to buy. From almost every store some ore
rushed out, in accordance with the annoying
custom of that street, to seize upon and try
to force him to purchase. At last, one dirty
looking fellow caught him by the arm, and
DANGEROUSLY urged him to become a customer.

countryman, with all innocent look.

perfect gravity, "put one on, for you need it."
The rage of the shopkeeper may be imag
ined, as the countryman, turning upon his
heel, quietly pursued his way.
