TIE LEGISLATURE If any of our readers
look in vain at our columns for an abstract
of Legislative proceedings, we wish them to
understand that the omission is not our
fault, but the fault of our Legislative Solons,
who fail to transact any business of public i'm
portaDce. True the two Houses meet regular
ly, and are occupied with host of petitions,
remonstrances, bills read in place. &c, varied
occasionally 10y veto message from Governor
PACKER, but we fail to find anything of special
Importance in this section. The bill for the
sale Of the public works, we have already no.
tced ; and there are some half dozen license
bills offered, none Of which, in all probability,
will be passed.
The Committee of Conference appointed for
that purpose have fixed upon the 22d of April,
us the day of adjournment.
The appropriation bill has been considered
in the House, and passed to the 29th section.
The minority report of the Kansas Commit
tee in the Senate was made by Dr. GAzzAN,
last week. 1t is lengthy and able docu-
meut.

BELL have damaged its prospects, very mate

Kansas Legislature to the Free State men,
thus ensuring two Republican Senators, has

THE LAST CARD PLAYED.

The prospect of defeat awaiting the Lecomp-
ton fraud has brought forth from Gen Cal
HouN his decision in regard to the result of
the Kansas election. The follow is his mani
festo, dated at Washington, Oh Friday last.
As there has been great anxiety TO learn
the result of the late election for members OF
the State Legislature under the Kansas Con-
stitution now before Congress, think 10 prop
or to state that recent information, through
Governor DENVER and others, leaves no doubt
that the returned vote from the Delaware
Crossing Precinct, in Leavenworth County,
should be rejected, and that certificates OF
election thouId be issued without reference to
| the vote of the precinct.
A month ago was put in possession of a
newspaper containing what purported to be
the afidavits of the judges of election at that
precinct, and in a communication to the In
ION, Immediately stated that, if the facts
contained in said afidavits were presented to
me in an authentic and reliable form, i should
be governed by them in determining the result
of the election in Leavenworth County. Al
though | have not received any reply to nv
letter to Governor DENVER, yet from various
sources of information | am left in no doubt
as TO the statements of the judges of the certi-
fcates of election to the persons having the
highest number Of votes in Leayenworth Couu.
ty, irrespective of the Delaware Crossing pre-.
cinct. | regret TO add that this decision will
give the control of Kansas to the party which
| view as the enemy of the peace and good
order, the Constitution and laws of the Union
To the following persons, elected in the sever
al Senatorial and Representative districts Of
Kansas, certificates of election will according
ly issue.
JOHN CALHOUN.

ILuXols.-The Chicago Tribune says that
new democratic paper is to be started in that
city TO support Buchanan, and adds
i" This is a formidable movement and will
produce a revolution in the Democratic ranks
of this city and State. In a few days Cook
will be home, with his Post Office commission
in his pocket. After his arrival, the work of
decapitating Douglas Post Masters through
out the State will commence, in downright,
bloody earnest. buchanan men will GIL their
places, and ere long there will be one thousand
Post Masters actively at work getting up clubs
for the Doity National Democrat and extend
ing its circulation by every means in their pow
er. Buchanan will lavish ON it all the adver.
tising and printing patronage in his possession,
TO sustain it
1t is understood that Buchanan has de-
tcrmncd to remove every Douglas man in Hi
los from Office. A prominent Democrat in
Alton received letter few days ago from
Attorney General Black, in regard to the ap-
pointmeut of a certain applicant as Postmas-
Ter Of that place. IN this letter Attorney
General Black asks, Is Mr.-(the appli-
can't J n Democrat ? Does he sustain Buchau.
an, and does he denounce Douglas =? If SO, he
can have the Office This shows that the acay
upon Douglas is to be bitter, and shat no man
who suStains him is to be spared"

Henry Steter. They left in Che room which
they occupied note to the Sheriff. in which
they expressed the hope that the step they
were about to take would cause him no incon-
venience as it was out of necessity. They also
thanked him for his kind treatment to them
during their confinement and all signed their
names
Stetler it will be remembered was arrested
about a month ago in McKean county ON a
charge Of manufacturing bogus coin A re-
ward of one hundred dollars has been offered
for his capture and Judgement in any Jail in
the United States. Wendle has already been
captured.

REMOVAL OF JUICE LoRlNG.-Gov Banks,
in message to the Legislature of Massachu
setts, on Friday last, removed Judge Loring
in accordance with the vote of the two branch.
es of the Legislature.
A motion to refer the message to Select
Committee, led to an exciting discussion be.
tween Messrs, Gushing, of Newburyport, and
Andrews, of Boston {; the former denouncing
the consummated act as the triumph of mono
maniacs and fanatics, and the latter defending it
as the just act of the Executive, which will be
hailed with gladness from one end of the State
to the other.
The main ground assumed by the Governor
for removing Judge Loring, is based on a stat

AHswA-GA HoCsE.-We learn from the Owe
90 Gazette, that Mr.. BRowER has been obliged
by ll-heath to retire from this well-known ho.
tel. The travelling public and the many per-
sonal friends of Mr. BRowER will learn this
with regret. His long experience and careful
supervision Of the different departments of the
House. have made it known far and wide, as
model Hotel We trust, that a shor respite
from his arduous duties will restore him to
health and activity.
The Gazette says Of the change =" Mai.
BRowER has retired from the Ah.wa-ga House
and is succeeded by r. d. WILLARD ESQ.,,
late Sheriff of this county, Mr. b. 3. Wilcox
remaining joint proprietor with Mr.. VIII

as any other city or village in the State can
boast of and the public may expect that it's

The Ithaca Jou, nal of yesterday gives The
following account of the re-capture of RHHof

Monongahela River Enquiries were made
and suspicious excited, which alarmed him,

the village Of Jamestowh, in this State He
was there recognized by an individual, who,
Immediately forwarded information here, and
Under Sheriff Holmes pursued Eulloff to
Cleveland, where all trace of him was lost
He, (R.) as it appears, returned from Cleve-
land to Sandusky City, and engaged board
with Mr.. Smith, about l2 miles from
that place. Mccoy. Curtis aud Smith became
satisfied that Rulloif was the escaped prison

with stones, and finally secured him, but not
until he had shot Ole Of them in the shoulder,
"A shot which in consequence of the thick
clothes, produced but little injury.
i complaint was made against Rulloff for
assault and battery with intent to kill. He
was lodged in Jail in default of bail, and his
captors on Saturday night had proceedings
under the law Of the State, became bail them

terily to this village. The cause of this will

much emaciated, his feet badly frozen, and in
