work To NJ mad, they demonstrate that the actio

that Con sc.<>A Yes TO be held over again, my par
in IT would be simply repetition Of my part in tn

Storton-But you have ampe remedy for al
this alleged fraud in the law creating these officer
Bring ne enc man who has taken the proper steps Z
have his nam. registered and been refused, and ther
see what become, Of the officer Establish that th,

The correction Of the evils yOu sOmpIe " VI Inc hA

for isat there Is something radically wrong IN ii,
Government Of Kansas.
RcJizSon-H Having determined to take no part in
the election we are naturally not SOLICITORS about ID.
purity of the voting lists the voters Themselves
But You now offer U. practical impossblty IL the
frat place. the citizens Of Quindaro, Lawrence and
Osavatomie are a business Their tine is vas-
able to them and indispensable to their families.
They cannot leave their business and 60 h5ntng
sheriff a census-taker, particularly if he spends
most Of bis time in snOtEer State. The gentleman
with the censusroll appointed to visit them-not
they the officer. have tine to vase in that way
and presume my neighbors vsll say the same thing
The other proposition that we show the lists TO be
fraudulent in respect Of the names Of MissOurians Is
utter impossiby Ii is an attempt to establish a
negative. Mr. Jones Jenkins may be re,ident of
Westport, Missouri. / may know il, and dozen
that Mr. Jones jenkins does IRE in WestpOrt, Mis-
souri,. We then visit twenty Of the Oldest residents OF
Douglas County and inquire whether Mr.. Jenkins has
ever resided there. They have never heard Of any
such in that vicinity. Here we have established
that one person bearing this name lives in Missouri,
and have shown that twenty citizens' of Douglas
County never heard of him in Kansas Is this legal
demenstration7 We have not shown that some man
bearing this pOstirely does not live somewhere
in the county. We have not shown that he may not
have lived here and gone East for his family. We
have not shown and never can show, that e was not
here the day prescribed by the law, and that he
did not answer every requirement of that law. When
multiply this by two thousand, we appreciate
somewhat the nature Of the job have undertaken.
Staafon-I think Doctor you magnify all the diff
cultes which stand in the way of fair election. Con-
corning the submission Of the Constitution to sube
quent vote Of the people. | would say, that it is
proposed to make provision Of this SORT and 80 far
as my influence extends, il shall be e1erted to bring
about full expression Of the popular will on the sub
ect of the domestic institutions of the Territory after
the work of the Convention il completed.
RoLtnsonWe do not doubt your good Intentions,
Governor, in this, a in other matters; but very
gravely doubt the extent Of your power. Several
Governors of Kansas have been greatly surprised
find how short di'a, ee their influence extended
believe that the right of calling out the militia has
been placed IN the hands Of County Sheriffs. You
will doubtless regard this very great Infringement on
the privileges Of the Executive.
Stanton-Oh, you must be mistaken. No Legisla-
ture Sheriff will undertake 10 cell out the militia
while hold the office of Governor Ridiculous
McLean-But hcy loW when the occasion comes.
1t was found necessary the part Of the Legislature
to reserve this right.
Stonton-Reservel No such right ever belonged
to any Legislature under the sun. Nonsense
McLeaH-Nonsense or not, we have the right OF
calling out militia and intend to exercise 1t whenever
We find il necessary; that's all.
Stonton-O, you altogether mistaken &c.
| need not follow this pleasant. little expression OF
views any farther. Our party adjourned to the Gin
cinpati House and listened to Mr. Stautons speech.
| have already made this letter longer than had
intended The conversation above reported IS EN-.
nenty suggestive and think speaks for itself. Ii
it should the eyes of any of the participants they
will recognize It's correctness in all essential parcu-
lars and if have set down aught in malice, trust
The Tribune will be open for the empest correction
to the injured party. Messrs. Stanton and Mclean
having expressed their views publicly and without re-
in the streets of Lawrence both before and after
this dialogue it will not be deemed any breach OF con-
fdence that some portion OF those views should take
ON tbe illumination of the types. OCcIDEST.
