KANSAS AFFAIRs.-Gov. Walker In,
arrived in Kansas, and isgoiug about from
place to place reading his inaugural ad.
dress, to the infinite amusement Of The
men and boys who congregate on the
street corners. 1t isan interminably long
document, but the following is the sub,
stance
He recognizes the validity of the terri
torIal enactments, and says all constitu-
tional laws must be executed. Urges all
parties to participate in the election. Be-
lleves the Convention will submit the
Constitution to the people. In this case he
thinks Congress will not reject it. Earn
estly impresses the necessity of removing
slavery agitation from the halls of Con-
gress and Presidential elections. Saws
slavery will ultimately be determined bv
the law of climate. 1t is this law that is
now operating for or against slavery in
Kansas.
In case slavery does not exist in Kansas
he has constitutional duties to perform to
its sister States, especially Missouri. He
trusts the constitution will contain clauses
forever securing that State all constitu-
tional guarantees both by federal and state
and the supremacy within her
own limits of the authority of the Supreme
Court of the United States. He says this
question decided peacefully, sees for Kan
sas a career of power, progress and pros
perity unsurpassed in the history of the
world. Not so decided, fraud violence
and injustice will reign and history record
the fact that Kansas was the grave of the
American Union.
The Governor shakes hands cordially
with everybody-Col Lane, or Stringfel
low, Gov. Robinson, or Sheriff Jones-be
wishes all of them success. Verify, he is
a funny little fellow.
Senator Wilson, of Mass, is In Kansas
at present, and is much lionized.
There is no telling what a day may
bring forth; but we are inclined to think
that after all Kansas will be free State
md that Border Ruffians and Free State
men will join hands in speoulations in
.own lots before the summer is over. 1t
ooks like it now

INsURANcE.-The recent destructive fire
in Pomeroy, and the fact that no fre-en-
gines are likely to be brought here soon,
and the additional fact that nearly all our
buildings are constructed of combustible
materials, should induce every property
holder to insure in some responsible com
pany without delay. In another column,
we present some facts and figures relative
to one company, for which our friend, o.
Branch is Agent. A word to the wise is
sufficient.

The Mormon Elder, p. P. Pratt, was
lately shot near Van Buren,, Arkansas
by Hector H. Mclean. Pratt had form
erly seduced McLean's wife, in California,
and eloped with her to Salt Lake City. He
then instigated her to steal her own chill
dren, which Mclean had left in New Or
leans with her parents. Mclean followed
her and succeeded in having Pratt and his
wife arrested near Fort Gibson. They
were examined before the U. S. Commits
sioner at Van Buren, and discharged.
Pratt, as soon as released, mounted his
horse and left the city. Mclean soon after
obtained a horse and started in pursuit, and
overlook Pratt about eight miles from the
city, and shot him. Pratt died in about
two hours after receiving the wound.

FATAL AcHDENT.-On Monday after.
noon of last week, Mr.. JOSEPH BLACK, son
Of Mr.. Hamilton Black, of Rutland, left
his house, with gun, for the purpose of
shooting squirrel for his wife, who was
unwell. Not returning that night, search
was made next morning, when his body
was found lying in the orchard. 1t is
supposed that the gun was accidentally
discharged while he rested his chin on
the muzzle. The contents entered under
his chin, and lodged in the brain, killing
him instantly. He was between 25 and
80 years of age, and leaves a wife and
one child. This is the second death from
the accidental discharge of firearms WITH
in the past year, in Rutland township.
