CONGRESSIONAL MANNERS The New York
Tribune says that on Saturday morning a
gentleman and his wife took seats together in
the northern cars at Washington, tut the
gentleman was obliged TO leave for moment
to look after his baggage. On returning he
found the Hon. Albert Rust, Of Arkansas.
sitting 10 his seat, to whom he explained that
the seat was his, and that it was his W fe who
occupied the seat beside him. Mr.. Rust re-
fused to leave. The gentleman persisted ur-
gently in claiming his seat. when the Hon.
member rose, and drew his bowie knife
A fight seemed inevitable, but the general
feeling manifested itself so strongly against
Rust, that he put up his knife, and agreed to
leave the seat, if permitted to leave
with the honors Of war. The lady was so
frightened that she was barely saved from
fainting. Rust left the cars at Il o Relay
House and went west

Kansas Affairs.

Governor Geary has rendered his resig-
nation as Governor Of Kansas tearitory, the
same taking effect on the e5th inst. 1t is un-
derstool that he offered to withdraw his re-
signation and continue to discharge the du-
ties Of lis Office If the administration would
sustain him and remove Lecompte and other
similar barriers to the execution of Justice. 1t
was hoped by all true friends of Kansas and
the Union that Geary's simple and reason
able request would be granted, but our latest
dispatches from Washington indicate the ac-
ceptance of his resignation. This will be
another thrust at Northern sentiment which
W Ii weaken the administration in the eyes of
the entire North.
We give below some of the reasons which
induced Governor Geary to take this impor-
tant step. They are taken fron his own
statement in the st. Louis Democrat:
The cause Of the Governors resignation is
in consequence of the failure of Pierce to
fulfill pledges made to him at the time of his
appointment. These pledges were to sup.
port him, (Geary) with the army, militia and
Treasury, if necessary; but instead of re-
ceiving this aid, he has paid $4,000 out of
his own pocket to support the administration.
He has been refused military all under
the most urgent circumstances, and thwarted
by the judiciary of the Territory, in every
possible manner,
The Governor states that fifty men were
under oath from the day he entered the coun-
try till he left,to assassinate him provided his
official courses did not meet their approval.
The Governor regrets the step he is obliged
to take. He feels confident that if the prom
ised assistance had been rendered, he could
have administered the affairs of the territory
in manner ptable to acceall honest settlers.
In relation to the outrages committed by
the Pro. Slavery party, he says the half has
not been told. He pronounces the murder OF
Buffum by Hays the most cold -blooded, afro
cious affair ever witnessed. His version oil
the Sherrard affair is similar to that already
reported. He says, however, that the ac-
count published in the Republican, over the
signature of Jones, is tissue Of falsehoods
The Governor complains bitterly of OBJ
structions and mutilauons of his correspon'
dence. He saws the mail has constantly been
opened and all Objectionable matter to and
from him extracted. The Governor think:
the establishment of slavery constitution
inevitable.
Secretary woodson is now acting Cover
nor of Kansas.
Two thousand Missourians are reported tc
have taken lawless possession of the Shaw
nee Reserve. They will be enrolled to vote
at the election for delegates to the constitu
tional convention.
Robinson is reported 10 have returned Il
Kansas. and will resume his duties as Cover
nor. This places affairs just where the,
we're last summer.

Renouucing Sham Democracy.

We have received a communication from
Henry Smith, Esq, formerly leading dem
ocrat in Montgomery township, in which he
gives his reasons for not longer remaining
with the democratic party. We regret that
the length Of his communication, being over
90 pages Of close manuscript, precludes the
possibility Of its publication in our columns at
present. Mr.. S., in common with
all candid friends of freedom, seeing
the position occupied by the democratic
party, democratic Supreme Court, and a
democratic Administration, feels that nothing
but the united efforts of all well disposed citi-
zens will be sufi ,ient to prevent the further
extension of slavery and its final nationaliza-
ton and the Standardization Of freedom He is
therefore ready and willing to renounce all al
legiance to,former party associates. and unite
heartily with tie Republicans in their strug-
gle to extend the area Of freedom.

Township Elections.

The near approach of the time for the elec-
ton of township officers suggests to our mind
that it may be profitable to give the subject a
brief consideration. 1t is undoubtedly the
interest of all portions of community to have
the primary Offices filled by honest and capa-
ble men, and in order to secure this desirable
result, it frequently requires the people to
consider, reflect, and counsel upon the mat
ter, prior to the day of election or their wish
es may be thwarted by the secret acts of de-
signing demagogues.
We profess to be thoroughly Republican,
but have never been able to see any good
reason for minglng party politics with
township elections. Our advice. therefore is,
to select your best and most competent men
without regard to their political preferences
There is comparatively no political power to
WELD, but little honor to enjoy in the hol-
ding of a township Office, and the compeusa-
ton is generally less than the actual amount
earned. All officers are but the servants of
the people to manage and perform some part
of the work of carrying onward the comphca-
ted machinery of government, and the sume
discretion should be exercised by the people
in their sovereign capacity in the eelection and
retaining of public officers, that prudent in
dividual would use ia the management of his
private business. Take for instance the
careful merchan! in need Of an assistant;
what is his course of procedure?
He first selects one from those he believes
to be hone st and capable, and if he finds him
faithful and competent for the business, con-
tinues him from year to year, and the longer
he serves him the more valuable are his err
vices, for he thus becomes thoroughly ac-
quainted with the business in which he is en-
aud continuing in Office faithful and efficient
agents in the service ofthe people. The same or
similar intrca les and difficulties in public
business has to be learned, understood, and
fully comprehended as in private matters.
We Of course limit our suggestions to pri-
mary offices and those devoid of political
power.
Take for example the Township Clerk
His labors and duties are important and COM
plex, and require some practical as well as
theoretical nowledge, for the discharge there,
of correctly. There are also many minor
transactions not made matter of record in
every township which the township Clerk is
expected to understand and be able to explain.
There is one township Office which we wish
to notice especially, and which is generally
regarded as a secondary matter, and that is
the Township Assessor. He should be a m an
of good judgment, sound discretion, and quick
perception, as much depends upon him and
his discernment in the getting of personal
property en- the duplicate on an equality Of
the utmost farthing for taxation, but larger
value. Many persons are inclined to give in
portion would greatly prefer Withholding a
portion of their property and returning the
balance at very low prices. Hence the neces'
sity of getting man for that Office that can
see, and who knows what to do when he be.
holds an apparent fact.

do not see the Salesman, we cannot say how
far its abuse extends; but one thing we have
noticed of late, to wit: that democratic papers

eggs were thrown back at the speaker. and after
they had reached the ground. a shower of

RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.--The following
is too good to be lost. 1t is often
made subject Of complaint that min
listers Of the gospel participate in po-
litical matters. An anecdote of Mr..
Field, who lived in Vermont several
years ago, contains good reply:
As the reverend gentleman went, at
time to deposit his vote. the fficer
who received it being friend aud
panshOner, but of opposite politics, re-
marked:
81 am sorry, Mr.. Field, 10 see you

Why asked Mr. Field.
Because" said the officer, Christ
said his kingdom was not Of bis
world"
"Has no one right to VOTE" said
Mr.. Field, sunless be belongs to the
