sas correspondent in forms us that the Free
State Party in that territory has suddenly dis
appeared. A Convention recently hel to take
steps for admmSson as Free State, and to
arrange for future political movements, was
very thinly attended and finally adjourned with
out doing anythngat at all. This result is due
partly TO the conviction that the contest is over
and that Kansas can never be anything but a
Free State, and partly the desire ofthe people OF
Kansas to attend somewhat to their own affairs.
They are all very actively engaged in cultiw-
{ ng their firms, bailding houses and barns, ard
nsking themselves generally com Portable. We
trust they will be abundantiy successful.

About twenty five Delegates were present and
after sitting all day and discussing three differ.

adopting any OF them. 1t was regarded by those
in attendance as the last funeral scene around

Death of judge Hart.

1t is with feelings Of deep regret that we are
called upon this week to announce the death of
Judge Hart, ofCincinnati. A large number o
our readers will remember him as being the
Democratic candidate for Attorney General in
1856, and as having spoken at the great Dem
ocratic meeting in Cadz that year. We never
knew man that we had a warmer feeling for.
He was brother in. law of Hon. G. E Pugh.--
The Cincinnati Coamercial of the 81 inst, in
speaking of his death says
Judge SAMUEL NJ. HART died at L9veland, at
four O'Clock, yesterday afternoon, of the inju
ries received at the same place on the previous
evening, when attempting to spring upon a
train OF cars in motion. His limbs were shock
ingly mangled and as his physical system was
debiitated and its condition unGvorable, death
was the result. He was very we'll known
man, and was some time since quite prominent
as politician and as lawyer. lie was serY.

sesses many manly qualities, and there are ma
