LAwRENcE, KANSAS, Jan. 90, 1857.

The Missouri Bogus Legislature is still
performing at Lecompton. Special busi-
ness has engaged its attention for the last
week. Every member is in for speculation,
careful to incorporate themselves into all
oorls OF companies, Tor varrous purpose,
building railroads, bridges, and navigating
rivers. Several acts Incorporating com
panies for the construction of railroads
from Lecompton TO every part of the Terri
tory, is now claiming the attention of the
concern. There will be but little building
done by these men. Their only object is
to secure the control of all the routes, and
peevent Free State men from getting pos
session. Those fellows claiming Legisla-
tive functions set three days, day after day,
at the expense of the General Government
and vote appropriations of lands to them
selves, calling them railroad routes, in
hopes of making speculation out of il
some day. They are seriously contempla-
ting project, by which the Kansas river
shall be declared navigable stream up as
far as Fort Riley, and to incorporate them
selves as company to have the exclusive
navigation of said river, excluding all 9th
ers from any privilege in the premises, -
The wisdom Of that body will never aston
ish the world. Yours in haste,
ESSEX.
