Benton,s Organ On the English Dodge.

The Missouri Democrat, was called Ben
toms Organ, and it supported Buchanan for
the Presidency; but it can't stand fraud and
vilIainy. II speaks out like unto this:
The English bill is a true growth Of the
National Democracy, and of the Indiana va
riety. Ii is a combination of causistry and
corruption-a compound of a dodge and Il
bribe. The Buchanan Administration gov
erns uy the spoils. The National Demo
cratic party is governed by the spells. Votes
are purchased by Offices. Measures are
carried by large appointments of plnnder.
The cabinet that disposed of the military
reservations by stealthy sale, that gave out
the Utah comniissariat contracts surrepti-
tiously, might well advise the engineers in
Congress to try the virtue of a land bribe in
aid of the Lecompton Constitution. Secre-
taries and Senators whose voracity for plum
der had devoured the ground OF the United
States, might pardonably think that Il bride
of four or five million of acres would prove
irresistible to the people of Kansas. The
National Democratic party might also think
that the means by which they were them
selves enslaved was after all the most et-
~fectual means of enslaving the people OF
Kansas. But they Eve may well believe)
who could not be inundated by terrorism,
can not be seduced by corruption. Tried
in the furnace they have acquired u stern
logic which no causistry can perPlex, and a
virtue which no temporation within the pow
err of the juggling fiends of the Government
can shake. We are not ignorant that there
are a few in Kansas, who would seal their
own shame, and sell the cause by accepting
the bribe. They style themselves conser-
v~atiyes. Conservatism! the last alias of
cowardice and corruption.
There is no doubt that the English bill is
inferior II the naked Lecompton Constitu-
ton by fifteen millions of acres. 1t cannot
be that the people of Kansas would accept
under the name of the English bill, VIVA:
they SO steadfastly opposed under the name
Of The Lecompton Constitution. especially
as the difference between the TWO is all a.
gainst Kansas. The adoption Of the Lee
compton Constitution, would have been an
outrage upon them, the acceptance OF the
English bill would be self ablsement.

A Tale of Horr ,rs-An Inearnate
Fiend-Can it be?

Gov. Melville, of Mississippi, is
charged by the Vicksburgh Souihren,
with having pardoned out Of the Peni-
Tertiary a man named Tyson, who had
assassiaated another man named
NelSns, for which he was simply SEN
fenced to the prison for fifteen years.
That paper says of the criminal:
He waylaid his victim with whom
he had a deadly feud: brought him
down at the first shot, and then emerg-
ed from his hiding place, tainted his
DYING victim with words of insult and
reproacf1, and finally concluded by pia
ding the muzzle of his gun to the bo-
dy Of helms and firing a second time.
This shot produced instant death, and
SO close was the gun to the victim that
the flesh of the murdered man was
burnt by the explosion. Having com
pleted the work of slaughter, he de-
liberately mounted his horse, rode to
the house of helms, called his wife out
and informed her that ne had murder
ed her husband, am directed her where
to find the margled corpsei
Tyson is q blood-stanined, blood
thirsty, incarnate iend. He is not a
man, but a ferocious tiger, and Cover
nor Melville has ne more right to
turn sneh a beast loose upon the COM
munity thar he has to open the cages
of a whole caravan of tigers. His an
tecedents are well known, too, and they
should have forbidden all hope Of ex-
e%cutive clemency. The murder of
helms was not his first taste OF blood.
He had previously in 4 base and cow
ardly manner. murdered alawyer by
the name of Moss, of De Soto county.
by shooting him in the b ,rk rs Moss
rode from him. He hal murdered three
of his ovn negroes, and ono of them
in a manner SO horribly appalling us
to cause the death of his own wife
This occurred at his own table, an.l the
victim ofhis fendish rage wasa woman.
Taking off nSe at something that the
woman did, or omitted to do, while
waiting at the table. he arose, drew Il
bowie knife, and, with a single blow.
ripped her open. His wife swooned,
and when she awoke to consciousness,
he had cut the negroes heart out. and
with it upon his knife, and the result
of her horror brought or convulAions,
from the effects of which she died.

Fraud peculaion, and rascality geheralI,

Fraud peculation, and rascality GENERALLY,
seems to be the order of the dag in public
affairs, both State and National. Il is said
the report of n of the investigating conf
mittees appointed during the present session
of Congress will implicate a Cabinet officer
in Some of the stnpendous frauds upon the
Government prurtised in paying interested
parties enormous prices for sites for fortifica-

committee has unanimously reported in ia
vor of the dismissal of MIR. HOCKEY, the
Democratic Door Keeper of the House, e.
lected at the mmencement of the present
session, in consequence of pecuiation, fraud,
and dishonest practices generaliy-and the
House has accordingly expelled him and c.
lected another man in his place. And next
comes an expose of unparalleled corruption

every degree, from Governor down--Sena-
tors and Representatives-Editors Lawyers.

it would embrace men of all grades of poll

which this report exhibits. the two lowest in
value are a Lecompt ON Editor and u Judge
OF the Supreme Court. The former was
bought with bonds which at par were worth
only $1,000, and the Judge Of the Supreme
Court was satisfied with $1,000. Think

As our cilizcns gener,llv Know. m,nv

As our citizens generally know, many OF
the caves in the southern part CT the city are
occupied by our brewers as places of deposi,
for their lager beer. They are cupacious,
cool, and just suited for this purpose. Mr..
Felix Ceste has a cave for the deposit of
the beer made at his establishment, in which
was stored away about 3,ooo barrels of la
ger beer. 1t is situated in the immediate
neighborhood OF the House of Refuge
There, it seems, an Immense body of water
had accumulated from the recent heavy rains,
and the city authorities attempted to find an
outlet for it. In doing this. the whole body
of water was precipitated into Mr.. Coste's
cave. The barrels of beer commenced float
ing about-the bungs, never driven very firm
ly in, were forced out, and the contents of
the whole 5000 barrels were lost. The wa
ter escaped through the natural channel, and
yesterday morning the cave was free from
beer and water. The loss is thirty thousand
dollars and it is presumed that a lawsuit
will have to determine whether the city is
not liable for the unskillfulness of it's Of

Considerable commotion has been pro-
duced at Washington, and in the Atlantic CT
ties generally, by the alleged recent firing
on the part Of British cruisers into Aneri-
can vessels in the Gulf of Mexico. Several
cases of the kind are reported, and the mat
ter has been regarded of sufficient i:npor-
lance to induce the passage of a resolution
by the Senate calling on the President for
information on the subject. 1t is supposed
that the officers of the offending vessels
we've not acting in accordance with their in
structions, and that their acts will be dis
claimed by the British OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
wise serious trouble may result from it
The alleged importation of slaves from Afri-
ca into some of the Southern States, Of
which their papers have publicly boosted is
probably the occasion of the firing-it be-
ing one of the duties of the British cruisers to
aid in suppressing the slave trade, from which
results the necessity of overhauling suspi-
cious vessels in localities where ~slavers are
likely to be found.

RuFFIANs Is KAEsAs.-Thc Dayton Jour
nal publishes a letter from q former citizen n
of that place, dated Marleton, Bourbon CO.,
K. t., April 81, which details some of the
annoyances OF the Free State settlers Ct the
hands of the pro-slavery %ruffians. The Jour
nat says that the writer is well knowr
as a credible person. He says that a short
time since two Of the soldiers at Fort Scott
"stole some horses from james Roydston,
who had them arrested and brought TO the
Fort; the other soldiers threatened TO shoot
him for doing So, and Boydston was obliged
to fee for safety. Several times the com
panies have gone round at night to murder
Free State men, and steal horses or commit
robbery. A number ofthese companies are
dressed in uniform, and the citizens are full
ly satisfied that they were soldiers them
selves. The soldiers at Fort Scott are
none other than Col. Buforts men from
South Carolina and Georgia, who commit
ted depredrtions on the people of Kansas in
'56. They are a perfect instance here, and
we will be in u state of war as long as they
remain. The people are preparing to drive
them off"
