LATER FROM KANSAS.

From Kansas we learn that the Land Office 10 to Be
opened at Lecompton, within few weeks, Tor 70
ceiviDg payments upon presumption claims. As be-
tween the Governor and the Bogus Legislature things
do not 90 very smoothly. To call nom that body Tor
the reasons of his neglect TO commission one w. L.
Sherrard, duly appointed, under the bogus laws, a.
Sheriff of Douglas County the Governor replies thk
Sherrard stands charged with having been engaged u
several drunken braws, Fighting and shooting at per-
"sons with pistols and threatening others, and thS
until these matters are cleared up he shall not have hs
commission; nor viii he commission any one laboriw
under such charges as would impair, If not entirely
destroy his usefulness or whose passions and habits
would render unfit for the proper discharge OF his do
ties or which might in any manner eDdanger the peace
Of the Territory. Such, he says, are his instructions.
and he means TO carry them out.
He has also returned, with short but strong veto
message, the bill passed by the Legislature author
ziDg bail in all cases.
There is evidently radical difference between Gov
Geary and the Bogus Legislature not only O., 10
the qualifications of Shenfs, but generally as 10 tho
principles which the affairs of the Territory are 10
be administered 1t s perfectly plain that an admin
siration Of the Territorial government in accordance
with Governor Gearys views can only be secured by
the passage Of the bill already reported in the House u
Representatives. at Washington for the relief Of The
people of Kansas, by setting aside altogether the bogus
code and the existing Bogus Legislature Oft
fruits Of it, and commencing the work Of Territorial
legislation anew through the medium Of entirely
new and fairly elected Legislature. The attempt 70
get on by combninga Governor Ike Geary with BE-
gus Legislature Ike that now sitting at Lecompton, Ia
but a repetition Of the ridiculous experiment u
putting patch Of cloth upon an old and
rotten garment, whereby, as we know 90
high authority the rent 10 certain TO be made worse.
There is pspsbly in this case only one course con-
sistent with common sense, and that is TO commence
anew. As well might live man be tied to dead and
purifying body, Gov. Geary be required 10 act in
concert with such body as that now falsely clanng'o
represent the people Of Kansas. - long as that
Legislature is allowed to go on, Of what avail wD Gov.
Gearys yetOes be, matter how well argued, or how
strongly put The vetoed acts will be passed over
his head, and the Governor will thus be called upon 70
execute laws against the passage Of which he has pro-
tested as not merely impolitic but unjust. There
Only this alternative: Either this Bogus Legislature
must be removed out Of the way or Gov Gesry vii
be obliged TO resign. 1t is absurd TO suppose that both
go on together.

Cpon the investigation before Coroner Connery

Of the death of Dr. Bardel, there was supernduced,
on Saturday new investigation into the proceed

ment of the inquest Mrs. Cunningham and her two
daughters have, by the authority of the Coroner,
been kept prisoners in the Bond street house under
the surveillance Of the Police, while Ecke, Snod

Hannah, have been detained upon the Coroners
commitment, in the Tombs or in Station Houses, and
all of them denied communication with their friends
or consultation with their counsel. Five of these

FROM WiSHINGT TON.

From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 1857.
Although i. was given out with authority yeser-
day that Mr.. Hunter would decline the Secretary
ship of State Internationally, his friends make q
reservation 10 day, which puts a new face on his
inclinations. They assert that his condition OF
acceptance is that the proposed colleagues sha be
submitted to his approval, and the future policy
clearly developed. This qualification comes too
late to serve the object st which it aims.
The single blessedness Of the President elect was
attended to Whestland by Mr. Appleton, who is to
oficiate as the oracular exponent Of the new Ad-
nnistraton. They are both engaged by this time
in csnvsssiDg the merits Of many dsinterested pa.
trots, and perhaps laughing in their sleeves at the
pretensions exhibited in these parts.
Letters have been received from Mr.. Sumner an
nouhcDg bis intention TO appear In the Senate at an
early day, and his quarters have been prepared,
locking 20 that contingency. This step will be
taken against the edmonton Of his medical and
personal friends, and without any special advantage
to the public or himself Ii is his purpose to sail
for Europe about the lst OF March.

Captains, two Commanders and sixteen Lieuten-
