The Legislature.


From the returns received, it is estimated
that the Opposition will have, in the Senate,
thirteen members, and IN the House 81,
which will give them controlofboth branch-
60. Several of those who are enumerated
rs belonging TO the Iecompton party, are
opposed to Bright aud Fitch, and condemn
the course of the administration. If the ad-
miuistration party had obtained majority
IN both branches Bright and Fitch would
have resigned, and asked for reelection
As events have turned, they viii rely upon
the present tenure OF their seats, and on the
influence of the administration in the SEN
ate to sustain them. But among the first
acts of the Legislature viii be to elect
new Senators, TO contest the seats of the
bog:i. The only pretence on which Bright
and Fitch were sustained by the Senators
who voted to retain them in their asurped
places, was the alleged fact that they were
really the choice Of q large majority OF the
people Of Indiana; and though some of the
their election, they were morally and con-
s.itutionally entitled to their seats. BY the
recent election they have been repudiated
by the people, and the pretence that they
were, in truth, the choice of the people, is
shown to have been false. This deprives
them of all tie ground on which they were
supported by their friends. Upon full
vote Of the Senate Oh the final question OF
their seats they would have been defeated.
But several Senators who though their cleo
ton was legally and technically valid, thought
it was sanctioned by majority of the PEG
ple Of the State, and did not therefore feel
justified in voting to eject them from th(
Senate. The new evidence of tue popular
will afforded by the issue Of the recent cleo
ton, will change the sentiments of those wht
cyaded the vote at the last session, and pro
badly induce them to sustain members elect
cd in accordance with the Laws and Consti
tuition of the State, by a Legislature, fresl
from the people, expressing the popu
lar will.
In the choice of the new Senators, tn
pocket will urge its right for once to furnisl
It representative of the State in the Cnitet
States Senate. In the present position Q
parties, no one could command q NOR
unanimous support, than Alvin p. Hovey.-
The manner in which he has conducted tn
late canvas, shows him to be pre-eminentl
qualified to sustain the right of the peopl
OF Indiana to be represented by Senators c
their choice in the Senate of the Unite
States.

looking for him he was found dead, tue body
tossed over the fence several rods from
where the pitchfork was lying. The horns
Of the bull were bloody, and the blood
and marks on the ground indicated that the

along by the vicious animal from the place
where the ptchfork was dropped 10 the
fence, and then tossed completely over it.

Hon. Z. P. Stanton, Secretaryof Kansas
under Governor Walker, in late speech at
Lawrence, made the following Statement;
He (Mr= Stanton) came to Kansas in 81,
believing it to be the intention of Mr.. Bu-
claanse te deal s;lirl3F with the people. Had
not this been his opinion, he would never
have accepted the position of Secretary, ner
Walker that OF Governor of the Territory.
Justice demanded h. admission that he
still believed the intention Of the Admiais-
tration 10 have been good. Until the
month of September he aud Gov. Walker
were sustained throughout by the Admins
tration. lie would mention one circum-
stance which was not generally known, as
showing this exclusively.
0n.the lst of September, General Whit
field and DIR. Tebh, OF Kansas. who were then
in Washington, signed a letter expressly
stating that the course OF Governor " alker
and Secretary Stanton was acceptable to the
people of Kansas, llasnslch a. IN undoubted
majority were in favor ola free State. This
letter was written at the special request of
Mr.. Buchanan. who was anxious to shield
himself from the assaults then being made
upon him by the South. Through Mr.. Blu
chanans agency the letter was sent to the
Union office and was actually in type, ac-
companicd BY editorial comment, endorsing
the character Of Or. Tcbbs as Il gentleman
of uuimpeachilb!e veracity, when 1t was
seen in proof by Southern nember Of the
Cabinet. who ordered its suppression. From
that day TO this the course OF the Admins
tration towards Kansas had been amost IN
scrupuoHs and shameful one.

Romance Among the TURKS.


\ correspondent of the Pe1tnsyLUaaidn,
writing FROM Constantinople, elates the
following romantic story:
| have Just heard from an autEenae Frl-
vate source a startling incident, which oc-
CURED few days since in Damascus, aud
bids fair to rival the most exaggerated
romance of Eastern story. OHeof the f.irest
pearls of this terrestrial Paradise has for
teited her position as Houri in the celestial
abode of her Turkish lord, by an indiscreet
passion for jew, the dragoinan Of one Of
the eonsolates of that city. For some time
they have been living outside Of the bonds
and bounds of holy matrimony," without
any suspicion attaching 10 her fidelity.
Her position rs one of the first ladies of
Damascus in beauty and rank placed her
beyond suspicion, till, by a. tiuar pas Of her
paramour, her guilt was discovered. He had
visited her in the disguise of female costume
for some time, and was only discovered a
few days since by an iudiscretion in his
movements. b secret aid she escaped TO
the desert, where she elude1 the vengeance
other pursuers but a few hours.
Her body was cut in pieces, and, with the
curSes of the Koran, her mutilated remains
were left to bleach, unburried, in token of
her shame. In the meantime the greatest
excitement prevailed in the city, which
threatened to involve all Christians ia an
indiscriminate massacre and the dragoman
had escaped tier hands. He had mystic
riously been rescued from prison and trans
ferred 10 Beyrout. From there he will
probably make his escape by sea, and save
his body from the torch Of the Moslem.

who has lived for some time with the Shcik
of Palmyra tfor whom she has cherished the
most tender regard, after procuring by her
brides aud influence with the lord of tie

constituting Lerself his Queen, and surround
ing his position with every luxury that her

cation Of his senses, has at last broken faith
with the hereto, aud left him to seek a
more orthodox connection, while for the
time being she disso1Yes this mixed match,
which has caused so much scandal. -
