OF the f20 votes cast in Linn Co., 100
of them we're direct from Missouri. The
Lecompton Legislature, By an amendment
70 the Militia Law, provided for General
Trainings, and Election of Officers, on this
day; SO these 100 invaders, drilled, paraded
and elected officers, as wei as voted for
Delegates to frame Constitution. Thought-
full, kind, considerate Missouri TO wish
TO relieve us of all trouble in these mat
ters. 1t Is pity that our Kanzas people
viii be so wiiful, and insist upon man
aging their own affairs. The total, may
probably run up to 1900 votes a paltry
and contemplate number when we take In
to consideration the large population of
Kanzas. The whole affair is the most en-
phatic condemnation of an iniquity, ever
given by a people. With what face can
Congress receive Constitution enanating
from such source, should the Convention
ever meet In Kansas to frame one, which IS
somewhat doubtful. Marshall Co. is re-
ported as having cast 80 votes, at Marys-
vile. There are not more than % pro-
slavery voters IN all the country.
1t is very amusing TO visit Lecompton
and note the chagrin and annoyance visible
on every face.

NASHVILLE CUSTOM HOUSE

We have heard the same rUmor mentioned by the
Patriot, that the building Of the Nashville Custom
House would be temporarily postponed. The title
to the lot has hardly now been perfected. But for
the unavoidable delay in perfecting this title, owing
to the fact that it could not be made until the Legs
lature had met and passed an act reGnquishing
jurisdiction the Site the work would no doubt
be in fair state of progress and beyond the reach
Of the rule which, we hear, the Secretary Of the
Treasury has foundit necessary toadopt This rule,
we learn, is, to postpone the commencement of work
on the public buildings ordered in the dierentStates
but not YET begun, until the meeting of Congress.
The financial crisis affects the National Treasury
quite seriously it affects any business interest
The Secretary of the Treasury found the surplus at
his command rapidly diminishing, and pretty fair
prospect Of its being exhausted by the necessary
penses Of the Government. The rule in regard to
public works, which affects our custom house build
ing, suspends the work also On many similar build
ings in all the States the aggregate cost of which
is to be counted by millions The small sum appre-
priated here could not be seriously felt by the Ma
tional Treasury, and the Secretary would not have
thought it necessary to retrench so small item
had alone been interested. But the whole amount
appropriated to custom-hcuses is very large aud we
are unfortunate in the working of rule which the
Secretary felt it indispensable to adopt-nOt the
victims of his mere arbitrary caprice.
We are satisfied that the work on the Nashville
Custom-HOuse will be speedily prosecuted Our
friends of the Patriot may charge the temporary de-
lay Of the fruits of our vicious system of
banking and speculation which evenable to cramp
the Federal Treasury, at the time that it para
lyzes the National energies. We should be glad to
have the help of neighbOrS in righting up this
great wrong

about for the proper for United States Minister

our interests, to checkmate the insidous and dan
gerous moves of English diplomacy. Several gen.
temen of learning and admitted capacity have been
named for this position of trust, but yet the ap-
pOintment has not been made. 1t may be taken for
granted however, that Sir William Gore Ouseley
will not arrive at his destination much sooner than
