KANSAS NEWS.


We hear from Kansas that on Saturday evening last
the case of Halter charged with the murder Of Lye
brought to termination on that day by the committa
Of the accused TO the guard house at Fort Leavenwoth
There large crowd of people in attendance upon the
examination, many OF them armed with pistols. The
friends of Lyle resolved that the murderer should
not escape, and the black republicans equally
solved that Haer should not be harmed At this crisis
Governor Walker appeared, took the prisoner from
ody after the examination for the day had closed and
sent him. under safe conduct, to Fort Leayenworh In
this decision of the governor there general acquies
cence IL supposed that the would be closed
on Monday and that the accused would be sent to Jail to
await his trial In all other respects the country is
quiet and Gov. Walker is making great Roadway in the
affections OF the people.
Our information from Leavenworth is very late, and IL
scred the silly stories set aoa up the river of the de-
feat of Colonel Summers command with the loss of $50
men, by the Cheyenncs and Anapahoes On Sunday
last such information had been received at Fort Laye
worth by Gen Harvey and he gives credence to the
story.

GOV WALKER AND THE KANSAS DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION.

II is an encouraging proof (says the Journal of
Commerce. of the wisdom and popularity Of Gov.
Walkers policy in Kansas that it was approved by
the democratic territorial convention at their recent
session by vote of forty to one. They also
solved that the State constitution about to be framed
by the constitutional convention shall not be consd-
cred valid until it is submitted for the approval Of
the people of the Territory, and approved by
jority of them at the ballotbox This is significant
rebuke to those who, processing to know better than
the Kansas men themselves what is good for them,
undertake to assail Gov Walker and the admnistra-
ton because they do not lend themselves to promote
the triumph Of purely sectional views and preju-
dices. 1t is to be supposed that the democratic
party In Kansas are the best judges Of their own
affairs, and that IL they approve the course of the
territorial executive, it ia tGlerably conclusive
proof that they do not believe that the has
" sold them to the .free-State men, Passion and
prejudice may prevail for time but truth and
justice will triumph in the end.

factory TO all parties and the Indians returned 10 their

Mr. Tiss also reports that the Cheyenne Indians are

with has been the distractions thrown ia his way by bad
white men Ii will be recoected that recent telegnphe
despatch from st. Louis stated that these Indians had
attacked the United States troops in command Of Colonel
Sumner and had killed the whole party. From what
Mr. rwss writes this report must be either greatly ex-

THE FUNERAL OF GOV. MARCY.

From all accounts the funeral of Gov. Marcy was
more imposing than any ceremonial of the kind which
ever took place in Albany. The Argus Of that city
says
1.-THE procession from the capitol TO the cemetery
very large, and of the most impressive dcmonstra-
tions of this character which bcheld The dis
play of the military and fremen of this city, and from
abroad has seldom been surpassed There were seventy
two military and fire companies and associations in the
line of the procession Not the least interesting portion
of the spectacle the immense multitude of people
which crowded the streets, filled the balconies doors
windows and roofs, and occupied every accessible stand
point Everything conducted with the greatest de-
and propricty All these thousands Of people,
both in the procession and in the streets seemed subdued
and impressed with the solemnty of the OCCASION and
the magnitude Of their loss and all quiet and in
keeping with the emblems of mourning everywhere dis

All are Voters.

We understand some of the leaders
of the pro-slavery party declare that
no person shall vote at the election OF
delegates to the constitutional conven-
ton, save suck as have their names
registered on the census list. Such
is not the language of the law. on
the contrary it expressly provides that
all persons who have been residents
of the Territory for three months pre-
ceding the election shall enjoy ths
rights of the elective franchise. Il
the people wish to vote they have tine
right under the law, and they should
do it, and we trust will. If they dc
not vote, that same section will be
quoted fifty times in the next Congress
showing that every person in Kansas
had an opportunity, and if they dld
not vote, it was their own fault. we
advise no man to approach the ballot
box, nor not to vote. We wish ths
PEOPLE could come together in theil
sovereign capacity, and without the
aid of partizan leaders determine
what action is the most advisable IL
view of all the circumstances. Their
