We had serious affray here to-day
You are aware of the difficulty between
Gov. Geary and Sherrard. A number Of
fools. at the instigation of McAllister, that
arch-Abolition hypocrite, and DR.. Ghion,
of the same stamp, with James Bailey, of
ditto notonety, and some Others, got up a
meeting to sustain Geary, and condemn
Sherard. Every one knew that this
would bring on disturbance. Judge Cato
and Mr.. Bolong went to Geary and de-
sired him to prevent his friends from pro-
ceeding in the matter as it was useless, and
calculated to bring on trouble, but he re-
fused, saying "People had right to hold
'chaf meetings they please" The result
was q fight. Sherrard was shot in the
head. A little peccadillo Jones shot Sher-
rard from behind. There will, in all prob
ability, be serious disturbance tonight.
Two Others were wounded. Sheriff Jones'
watch chain was shot in twain, but he was
not injured.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
who dates his letter at Lecompton, Feb.
10th, gives about the same statement as to
what preceded the fight and thus des-
cribes the encounter:
The committee on resolutions could not
agree and framed two sets, Gearv resolu-
tons were read. Just after they were read,
Mr.. Sherrard got on TO the platform and
deetated that every man who voted for
these resolutions or declared that his con-
duct was wrong, was coward or liar r-
He continued to do SO till an alteration
ensued. He was armed with reyolvers, as
were all round him. .r-a
A Mr.. Shepherd, formerly Pro Slave
ry man, contradicted Mr.. Sherrard, when
Sherrard drew his pistol and fired at him,
and general shooting commenced with a
small party in the center of the circle. A
great many shots were fired; Mr. Sherrard
had shot through his head, which blew
his brains out. He was shot by ]. A. w.
Jones, young man who came out with
the Governor, and who was attacked BY
Mr. .Sherrard some time ago. Sherrard had
been about to shoot tuis person when he
was shot. The utmost CONSERVATION and
confusion existed for some moments. The
Pro-Slavery men stopped firing when Sher-
rard fell, and no one else fired afterwards
Mr.. Shepherd received two severe wounds
and blow on the head from the pistol
from Sherrard. Two other persons in the |
crowd were wounded, as great many
shots were fired, and as the scene was in |
the middle Of the crowd, it is surprising
that so few were killed or hurt. There |
was on attempt to resume the meeting.-l
Mr.. Jones, who shot Sherrard, was iminedi-
ately arrested by bogus Sheriff.

The Insult to Gov. Geary..His
Objections to Sherrard.
The following is the message containing
the Governors objections to Sherard;
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
| Lecompton, K. T., Jan. 2lst 1857.
To the House of Representatives., Kansas
Territory.
GENTLEMEN: In reply to your resolu-
tion of the l 9th instant, which was received
late on the goth, requesting me to furnish
your body with statement of my reasons
for not commissioning William 7. Sherrard,
Esq, as Sheriff of Douglas county, have
the honor to state, that while am dis
posed to accede to any reasonable request
from the Legislature, 1 regard that matter
as subject Of inquiry only from the Terri
torial Courts.
Pnor to its announcement to me, the
appointment of Mr.. Sherrard was protest
ed against by many good citizens of Le-
compton and of Douglas county, as his
habits and passions rendered him entirely
unfit for the proper performance of the
duties of that office. sf' .a ~
There was no intention, however, on my
part to withhold his commission but in
consequence of the absence of the Secreta-
ry of the Territory, it was delayed for sew
eral days, during which time l was infor-
med by many respectable gentlemen, among
whom were those of the county tribunal
from which he desired his appointment,
that Mr.. Sherrard had been engaged in
drunken broils-fghting, and shooting at
persons with pistols, and threatening Others.
| have since been informed that these facts
are notorious to the citizens of the place,
and can easily be substantiated by proof
Should the contrary be made clearly to ap-
pear, no one will rejoice more heartily than
myself lsa
But it is my desire to be distinctly un-
derstood, that l will commission no one
laboring under such charges as would i'm
pair, if not entirely destroy, his usefulness,
or whose passions and habits would render
unfit for the proper discharge of his duties,
or which might in any manner endanger
the peace of the Territory.
am instructed from sthe source from
whence drive my appointment, to pursue
this course of policy. The true interests of
the people of the Territory require it, and
it is sanctioned and approved by my own
Judgment. JNO. W. GEARY,
Governor of Kansas Territory.
The Missouri Republican (Pro-slavery)
says: - -f
1t was this message that Sherrard made
q personal matter, and resented by cursing
Governor Geary and splitting upon him,
with the supposed intention ofkilhng him,
if he gave him the chance by resenting tie
insult. The GOODNESS and selfpossession of
the Governor undoubtedly saved his life
He passed on without deigning to notice
his assailant. 5s..ss

A FUGIT1vE SLAVE TRANSPORTED The
Syracuse Standard says that Rev. Samuel
R. Ward, once famous as a fugitive slave,
has been sentenced to transportation to Van
Dieman's Land for forgery. Ward left Sy-
racuse some five years since, taking up his
residence in Toronto. Subsequently he
went to England and was made lion of
that is, Of course, an African lion.-
he picked up considerable money, and in
stead OF coming back to his family in Can
ada' ne went to Jamaica and purchased q
plantation, and there committed the crime
OF forgery. The first his family knew of
his depreciation was the reception of his
wardrobe While in Syracuse, Ward was
always in debt, but enjoyed fair reputation.

We regret to perceive that our friend Men
EsLL, OF the Des Arc CitiseH, is bending bis
energies to defeat a subscription Of fifty thou
sand dollars By Prairie county to the Memphis
and Little Rock Railroad. It is e singular
fact in the history Of railroads in the South
AID West, that they have invariably sneoun-
tered in their progress the s~everest opposition
from those who are the most benefited By
them. This opposition continues until the road
lie completed, snd then thsEe same opPOssrs are
louasst in expressions Of admiration, and would
be the last to see the road destroyed.
We cannot suppose that a majority Of the
people Of Prairie county viii be Influenced BY
any such short-sighted policy. They are to
be among the eaief benehciaries Of the road,
and we know they are too liberal to see it
built entirely at the expense Of those who are
to be no more benefited than themselves. 1t
Is an enterprise that will pOpulats their conn
", dsvelops its resources, enhance the value Of
their lands at least one hundred per cent, ard
besides give them every facility to the best
markets Of the world. It is trae, the road
cannot run BY the door Of every nan in the
county, yet every man in the county, at least
every land-bolder viii be the recipient Of it's
benefits.
The Company have thus Tar had a hard
struggle, and viii yet have to struggle before
they carry tie road through the wilderness Of
the Mississippi bottom. The great obstacle to
their progress lie the want Of meney. When
they shall have emerged from the swamps Of
the Mississippi, we can hardly think it posi-
bic that the people Of Prairie county viii hesi-
tate to aid in carrying it on.
It may be said that we Of Memphis are in
terested in taking this view Of the question. j:
is true We are, but it is equally true that all those
along the lice Of road are as much interested
as We. Let them only do half as well as Mem
phis and her citizens have done, and the road
VIII not languish. The benefits OF the road
will be mutual, and we do hope the people of
Prairie county viii evidence their pubic spirit
BY an Affirmative vote on the question. We
shall look anxiously for a good report from

KANSAS CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
The Convention elected for the purpose OF
framing a Constitution fer the new State Of
Kansas, will assemble in Lscompton tO-mor-
row, the III inst. Its deliberations and the
resale Of its action will be looksdto with great
interest bya III parties from every section CT the

OF oontrsriety ef opinion in the Convention
itself, but We fear that the result Of its deli e
T%ations, be what it may, will be seized. up y
By sgitators outside Of the ConveItioa ard O e
Territory, with the view Of keeping alive the
disquietnds in the public mind which has exist
ed ever since the organization Of the Terrific
rial Government. Wefeel persuaded, however,
that a vast majority OF the honest, well mean
ing citizens Of the United States are prepare
to sequiesce in whatever decision the CONVEX

citizens OF the Territory They alone are to
be benefited or injured BY the organic law
which their Convention may frame, and It is
for them alone to approve OF reject. We hope
that the action Of the Convention may be such
as viii allay all public excitement and popular
anxiety on the subject.
