In relation 10 the election for State officers, the
most unsatisfactory and conflicting REPORTS are nut
in circulation. II is contended that by the latest
returns the Free-State boiling ticket has carried
the election. Let me warn you against all such
reports. There is no official determination OF the
matter yet. The Free-State men, or some at least,
contend that the State boiling ticket ia elected and
that the Legislature stands, in the Senate ma
jority OF six FreeState, and in the House the Free
State men have 20 10 10. On the other hand, the
Pro-Savery men claim a complete victory. The
National Democrats" abont LecOmptOn ray il il

ports will doubtless be issued, distracting all
the accounts Beware of false prophets.
have just learned a most startling piece of intel
hgence, which the proceedings Of the past few
weeks led me TO anticipate. 1t is that letter or
letters, written by men pretending to be Free-State
men, and Democrats, have been given TO Gov.
Denver by him to be sent to Washington, request

So far as the official result ofthe election Is 10
20. believe me that it will be- settled among tho
political trcksters who are at work, Just according
10 their 0nn schemes and agreements. III ls just NO
election at all. Ii is mere game OF returns.
Calhoun in order to save his head and the LecOmp-
ton swindle is making trades with all the unsc ru-
pulOus aspiring men who will make trade with him.
IL is reported that there ia bargain between him
and Lieut. Gov. Roberts for their mutual election
10 the Senate and that such Prostate traitors as
can be relied on to maintain the PrO-Savery Le-
compton sWinde will be allowed TO taste the sweets
of office, only provided that the Pro- Slavery men
shall hold power enough TO command. 1t now ap-
pears that quite a number Of PrO-Slavery men
voted for Roberts as Lieutenant Governor, and be
is unquestiOnably to be elected, matter what is
to be the programme. He is one Of the most .un-
scrupuous men in the Free-State party, and ran as
a bOlter, against Charles Robinson, for Governor
under the Topeka Constitution when he got only II
few votes. He is a man of second or third-rate
capacity, except that as a cunning political wire
worker he has some tact. His present intrigue is
tratiOn and ts agents here really at the bottom
of it. Let every true friend of the people beware
of the LecOmptOn Constitution. The people have

Governor Denver sent after him, and desired him to

surprised if he has gone to Washington to consult
as to how the election shall be decided.
In the Territorial Legislature Yesterday Vaughan

the House by majority of = over Ross Of The To.
peka Tribune. Ross had previously been elected
printer in joint Convention of both bodies. The
Council by resolution still sustain Ross. This is re-
garded as an attempt to draw party lines, but is not
sure indication, as Vaughan also is Republican,
although like majority of those who supported the
boiling ticket in the recent election he did so mere

of this desire for legal speculation.
