The Kansa. Election.

The action'of Gov. Walker, in rejecting the
returns of the late election at several voting
places in Kansas, and thus giving the ascenden-
cy to the free State party, has raised another
hornets nest about his ears-unfortunate man
that he is. A report was current last week that
nor's course and would remove both him and
his Secretary, Stanton, forthwith The South
newspaper became jubilant over this rumor, and
declared that the determination attributed to the
Administration vindicated at once its distrust OF
Walker and its confidence in the Democratic
President. Even the Rockingham Register was
encouraged to say that the Governors recent
conduct demonstrates that his procvities have
been with the free-soilers, that he has thrown
his influence in the scale of Black Republican
ism, and that President Buchanan ought at once
to remove him and his compeer Stanton.
Well, we shall see what the President will do.
The Washington correspondent of the Richmond
Enquirer says, that president Buchanan une-
quivocally condemns the action of Governor
Walker touching the Kansas electiou-but get
there acil be no removal" The same old song.
The correspondent also writes:
"The President regrets this blunder the more,
as it places the Southern members of his Cabi-
net in an unpleasant position, and is likely to
re open the Kansas question throughout the
South. President Buchanan is surprised that
Governor Walker should have fallen into such
an error as his instructions were too plain
to be misunderstood, and were prepared to
to meet precisely the state of case which oc.
Cured Yet, he says it was only an error, and
his first one, which is also rather q matter OF
surprise. as he has had to steer through mar
row, crooked channel, full of snares, and envel-
oped in fog.
"The impression of Gov. Walkers friends here
is, that he will receive the reprimand, acknowl-
edge the bunder, and let his name be submitted
to the Senate. If the Southern fre-eaters are
disposed to reject him let them do so. Better
this than sneak out of the difficulty rs his pre-
decessors did, Let the Senate reject him and
he will occupy position from which he can
properly defend himself and the Administration.
Should he resign he will properly sink into po-
litical oblivion, from which no future action can
resurrect him.
ga letter from Mr.. Stanton, the Secretary of
the Territory, says'that Gov. Walker is about
starting for the East, and it is supposed he will
be here by the opening of Congress"

Gov LIGoN's BORROWED GUNS. On Monday
Mayor Magruder received q telegraphic commu-
nication from Governor Lyon, requesting him
to take charge of two or three thousand mus
kets, which were in transit from the Governor
of Virginia to the Governor of Maryland, when
they should arrive at Washington, and if practi
cable have them stored for sate-keeping in the
U. States arsenal. His honor, therefore, on
Monday and Tuesday took possession of tho tran
sient arms, according to request, and on yester-
day called on the Secretary of War who prompt
y issued orders for. their reception and safe
keeping at the United States arsenal until fur
Their orders Wash. Uni0n
The above is confirmation of rumor
which we published last week, and which has
since called forth severe comments from various
newspapers. When we first published the state
ment that Gov. Wise had loaned three thousand
muskets to Gov. Ligon, of Maryland, we did not
fully believe it, but gave it as mere report 1t
seemed to US incredible that even Gov. Wise,
notwithstanding he is known to be capable OF
almost any vagary, should have been guilty OF
such an improperly and usurpation of power
But the fact stands admitted that the Governor
of Virginia, without authority of law, has I'M
dertaken to transport the public arms beyond
the limits OF the Commonwealth, to be used by
the mad-cap Governor of another State. Com
ment on the act is unnecessary. Every citizen
not blinded by partizan prejudice must perceive
and acknowledge the outrage, and if the mem
bers of the Virginia Legislature are not the YER
lest slaves to his Excellency they will promptly
| call him to account.

The RESULT IN BALTIMoRE.-There is one
view of this election which does not strike eve
rybody, and it is this The Democrats had
''mongreW ticket, made up of the odds aud ends
of apostate Whigs-broken down Democrats,
and expelled Americans, and hundreds-yea
thousands of the true Democrats, would not vote
for such ticket. 1t is also we'll known fact
that a great many Democrats were so much dis
gusted with the incendiary action of Gov. Lyon
and his advisers, that they went in crowds and
voted for the American ticket as a rebuEe to
these men and measures. Take the 14th ward
for instance, where it was known all through
the day that the Native Democrats were voting
almost to man for the American ticket; and
it is equally true that the same feeling was prev
alent throughout the city.
1t is all nonsense and worse than nonsense, to
charge the success of the American ticket to
fraud and violence. That some illegal votes
were cast is admitted, for this is always done;
but we believe that the election yesterday was
a fair and honest expression of the sentiments of
the voters of Baltimore Patriot.

THE UTAH TROUBLES. : Dispatches from
Washington state that the government has re-
ceived intelligence from the military post at
Leavenworth to the effect that the Mornons
are calling in their people and making prepare
tions to resist the troops now on their way to
Utah, under command of Col. Johnston. There
is no doubt of the truth of this report. The
breaking up of the Mormon congregations in the
Atlantic States, the exodus of the Saints from
Carson Valley, the defiant speeches of the head
men at Salt Lake City, and the thorough mill
tary organization and martial spirit that began
at Nauvoo and is continued in Utah, all confirm
it. But there Is little probability of the Nor
mons carrying their threats to the extreme point
of actual collision with the forces of the federal
government. In order, however, to be prepar-
ed for even such contingency, the administra-
ton will, it is stated, direct Gen. Harvey, now
in command of the troops in Kansas, to remain
at Fort Leavenworth; and in the event of hos
tilities that distinguished officer will be des-
patched, at the head Of a large force, to the
scene of action.

WALKER AND THE KANSAS ELEcTIoN.-Tbe
Lecompton Democrat of 2Srd October publishes
a second proclamation from Gov. Walker and
Secretary Stanton in which they reject the re-
turns from MCGEE county on the same ground
as those of Oxford Precinct in johnson county,
namely, that they were stimulated and ficti-
tious" The Proclamation states that not only
was there an absence of the poll-book, and Of
the oath taken by the Judges, required by the
law to DO submitted, but that the returns did not
state for whom the votes alleged to have been
cast were given. The Proclamation takes occa-
sion to deny very explicitly the statement, that,
either In this case or in the other, have the Gov
ernor and Secretary gone behind the returns
They disclaim all right to 10 so, and say they
reject the returns in consequence of fatal defects
in form.
The Importance of the pro-slavery meeting
condemnatory of Gov. Walkers proceedings,
seems, like most of the early news from Kansas,
to have been much exaggerated. The Lecomp-
ton National Democrat says:
"We were present on that occasion as mere
spectator, with many others appearing in sim
liar capacity. We can truly state that the num-
Der who participated in the vote of condemna-
ton did not exceed twenty, after all the drum
ming and preparation with which that mighty
conclave was heralded. Yet this little squad
which have got into the Oxford omnibus, COM
posed to considerable extent of the partici-
pants or bene6ciares in that extraordinary trans
action, assume to speak in the name of the DEM
ocratic party"

CowHIDING IN BRoADwAY.-A New York let
ter OF the 9th says: About one and quarter
o'clock yesterday, handsome carriage drove up
to the curb-stone at the corner of Morris street
and Broadway, just above the Bowling Green,
when a fine looking young woman sprang to the
sidewalk and colared gentleman who was pass
ing. He was apparently much excited, and at
tempted to release himself, but she held him
with an iron grip, and drawing q short, stout
gutta percha whip from the folds of her robe,
dashed him over the head and face without mer-
cy. He roared out Justify, and with desperate
effort wrenched himself loose, but she sprang af-
ter him again, and catching him by the skirts OF
his coat, renewed the castigation. Every blow
stung to the quick, and brought up livid vale,
causing the victim to wrthe and yell with pain,
to the infinite amusement of large crowd of by
SANDERS At length, her vengeance satiated,
the lady gathered all her strength for finish
ing stroke, and, loosing her hold, brought down
her whip with force that sent the unhappy
gallant spinning along the sidewalk. At the
next moment, she was in her carriage and dash
ing up Broadway at headlong speed. The I'M
fortunate fellow fed in the opposite direction,
amid the jeers and merriment of the mob. Who
the young woman was could not be ascertained,
though the curiosity of the crowd was greatly
excited on that point.

they adjourn 10 klVereu ahoy vi " eO'S
Gus street. The supply is not always equal 10
the demand, and consequently there is a rush 10
the market place long before light in the morn
ing. The custom is for the citizens to assemble
at the Hotel and await the arrival of the Staun-
ton stage. until the 'wee small hours ayant the
twal." After an hours gossip and discussion OF
the foreign news from our city, they adjourn TO
the front of the Temple of Justice and roost on
the brick wall until the butchers arrive. This
brick wall is esteemed great convenience we
understand that upon one occasion it was pro-
posed to place an iron railing on its top, but in
consideration of the fact that those who attend
ed market would be deprived of their sleeping
place BY such an arrangement, it was unanl-
mously abandoned. After purchasing such pro-
visions as they can obtain the people dispense,
and the butchers turn up their benches against
the wall to be cleansed and otherwise prepared
for the next market morning. Most of the folks,
having nothing else to do, sleep during the re-
mainder of the day, or amuse themselves by sit
ting on the cellar doors fishing for rats with
hook and line-said to be favorte amusement
in that enterprising community. Others per-
haps saunter out to the suburbs to enjoy the
luxury of ride in the "blind darkey's patent
swing" which machine is kept in operation at
the low rate of zone dollar for ten minutes for

The rat catching employment is, we presume,
entirely disconnected with the operations at the
meat market, but the commercial value of their
skins for the manufacture of kid gloves will be
immense, when our branch road connects Lex
