-Hes Ceaniaghdm Gase-The New
York papers continue to be filed with the
most disgusting details of the attempt Of
Mrs. Cunningham to foist an heir on the
Bllrden estate, brief mention of which we
made last week. Her examination has
resulted in her arrest, and if not saved by
some technicality she viii probably find
rooms in the penitentiary. Her two elder
daughters are said to be in the deepest
distress, and the youngest, Georgiana, aged
IL, has become so bewildered that she
seems to be. scarcely aware of what is go
ing on. The daughters are generally ae-
quilted Of any complicity in the recent
affair
DR.. BurdelI's estate is estimated to be
worth between $4,000 and $4,000, and
comprises the houses Nos , and 81 Bond
street, with some real estate in Herki-
mer county and Elzabethport The lead
ing heirs are VIM Burdell, brother of
Dr. Burdell, who resides in Ohio; Lewis
Burdell, brother residing at New York !;
James B. Burdell brother residing in
Wisconsin; and four children of John Bur

and Common Council the faithful echo of bis
sentiments, and to be used merely to give
to them sort Of popular varnish-such is
Mayor Woods recipe for the government of
New.York. How happens it, then, that The

champion of Mayor Wood, does not also indOrse

The general refusal of the FreeState men of
Kauzas to vote at the late (bogus) Constitutional
Election-we say general; for the voting of the
Free. State Democrats" and of such Others as
took their cue from The N. Y. Times, does not
seem to have constituted serious exceptiOn-has
placed in clear light the atrocity Of the usurpa-
ten to which Kansas, by virtue of Federal cannon,
is now subjugated. There are at this hour more
than Twenty Thousand adult male citizens IN Kan.
SAT, and Nine thousand names were inscribed on
the bogus Registry of Legal Voters, yet scarcely
more than Two Thousand, if so many, have voted
at this Election. The Pre.Slavery National
Democracy" had everything in their hands-they
registered and omitted as they saw fit they opened
polls wherever they chose; they advertised their
election everywhere the Government, through its
organs, exhorted every one to vote; the travelling
menagerie of Walker Stanton and Perrin lifted up
their voices on every available stump, and the bur-
den of their song was Vote" "VOte!" And,
though some three hundred Missourians came over
and responded to this appeal-from the force of
habit merely-the total net result of all these exer
tious ia a poll of some Two Thousand or less, as
aforesaid.
Before this election was held, the Free-State
men were accused Of riskiug everything sacrificing
everything, at the call Of Faction, in declining to
recognize the authority of the bogus Legislature BY
voting under it's direction. Was this charge true
What say those who thus accused them Is Kan
sas doomed to Slavery by this abstentiOn from
voting last month The Convention is undoubt-
eddy PrO-Slavery-the " FIee-State Democrats"
making poor show against even the meager forces
Of the regular Slave DemOcracy-but what Of it
Does any man fear, or longer affect to fear, that
the elect of the Two Thousand will be able to force
detested system of servile labor on the Eighteen
thousand American citizens who defy them to do
their worst :
What the Competition will do, lie a matter of sec
obda interest to Free State men, who are content
with knowing that it cannot impose Slavery prac-
ticaly upon Kansas. We presume they will pro-
coed TO frame as vague Constitution as possible,
saying nothing directly of Slavery, but virtually
recognizing it already established by law and
affirming no right in the People through their
Legislature to abolish il. We infer that this is
their game from the obvious facts that they cannot
hope to establish it by any positive action, and that
they will not be likely to repudiate it, The bold
game of recognizing il in substance if not in form in
Constitution not to be submitted to the People, but
to be Immediately put in force by an election of
State Officers and Legislature at which none bat
the registered shall vote, and to which the previous
assent Of Congress shall be deemed superauous is
the only one that threatens all immediate and seri
ous struggle
Should that bold move b. attempted, the vivifca
