Holiday Patriots.

Ex-Gov. STANTON arrived OF Law

understand that he intends to stump
the Territory against the Lccompton
Constitution. Ii Mr.! STANTON wish
es tc do this, we are perfectly willing
that he should amuse our people with
statements as to how much hinaSef

WALKER, done to prevent the passage
of " naked" Lecompton. The Free
State men of Kanzas understand the
position they are placed in, and have
long ago made up their minds as the
course they will pursue. Doubtless
certain newspapers in the Territory
will be full of fulSome alterations and
commendatory criticism upon the
course of Messrs! STANTON and WALK
Err. We are not disposed to quarrel
with them for this, but simply tell
them they do not understand the peo-
pie of Kanzas, if they think to sup
plant by these holiday recruits, the
true and tried men who have stood
the brunt of the battle the men who,
when it was dangerous to be a Free
State man, boldly announced them
selves as such, and either on the bat
tle-feld or In the forum, defended the
principles for which we have strug-
gled. We are ever ready 60 receive
recruits, and thankeven STANTON for
assistance, even though he did haze a
hand in the fraudulent and infamous
apportionment for delegates to the
Lecompton Convention, by which
nineteen counties were disfranchised,

the late Minneolian attachment, "

Horrible-Mr. Jenkins Murdered.

On Thursday afternoon last, an
other OF those horrible incidents oc-
cured in which Kanzas has become
so prolific. For long time, a bitter
personal quarrel has been going on
between Col. GAIUs JENKINS, one of
the treason prisoners in the Sunfmer
Of 1856, and Gen. JAS. II. LANE,
growing out of a contested land claim.
1t seems that Mr.. JENKINS was in the
habit Of getting water from well
on the disputed claim LANE denied
him tho privilege, and fastened up the
well in some manner, so that it was
not accessible to JENKINS, At the
time of the bloody tragedy, Mr.. JEN-
RINs had visited the well for water,
taking with him an AK to remove i'm
pediments which might be found in
his way and, in consequence OF
threats made by LANE, four friends
accompanied him with weapons for
his protection.
Gen. LANE came out of the house,
and forbade Mr.. JENKINS from APP
proaching--telling him that if he
persisted in doing SO, he should Ger.
tainly shoot him. JENKINS contin-
ued to advance, when LANE retired to
the house, returning at once with a
shotgun. This was immediately
discharged, depositing some ninety
eight shot in the breast, abdomen and
legs OF Mr.. j., killing him almost in
Stantly. One Of Mr., J.'s friends af-
forwards fred upon LANE, severely
wounding him in the fleShy part Of
the leg, The excitement ran very
high for time, and threats Of lynch
ing followed, a warrant, however,
was issued by Justice LADD, and an
examination of the case came off on
Friday, which was still in progress
as we SO to press
We have no disposition to indulge
in comments, as the case will un-
doobtedly undergo thorough judi
cial Investigation. Mr.J. had many
warm personal friends, and leaves q
wife and several children to mourn
their melancholy bereavement.-

Cost of Opposing a People.

There are now in Kanzas, 1915 U.
s. troops. They are kept here at an
annual cost of about four million Of
dollars.
We who denounce Louis Napoleon
and his Pr@torian Guards, ought not
to forget there is something like a
Louis Napoleon in Washington; and
the real Pr@torian Guards in Kanzas.
The army OF tho United States has
aover boforS been perverted to mere
police purposes, as under this Ad-
ministration and it is no wonder,
therefore, that men Of all parties, with
I proper sense Of what standing
army is or ought to bc, refused its
inortaso.

A BaSditti in Paoli.

On Tuesday last, ,'Mr. ELIzoR HILL,
ono Of our best and most peaceable
citizens, was in Paoli on some pri-
vate business, when he was surround
ed by company Of citizens OF
that town, who demanded the place
of his residence. Upon obtaining in
formation, they watched him until he
left town, and then followed him.
Mr.. HILL suSpecting something wrong
put spur to his horse, and likewise
his pursuers, one of whom gained
upon him. Mr.. HILL's horse stun
bled and fell to the ground, and the
advanced pursuer lovolled revolver
at him and fired, which resulted on
ly in the explosion Of cap. Mr..
HILL returned the fire, and sent ball
through the breast Of his adversary,
inaicting, it is supposed, a mortal
wound. lie Immediately. regained
his position on his horse, and sue
ceeded in eluding the ruffians.
This affair plainly shows one thing;
that a citizen of Prairie City is unsafe
in locality where the Pro Slavery
element is dominant. We would
like to know what the people Of Pa
oil mean by knowingly harbcrirs
banditti bands in their midst? A
Pro Slavery man is tolerated and
treated with as much respect in Prai
rie City as o Free State man, and
we would like TO know if similar
courtesy is not due us by them?

Horrible Murder |!

+"
Near Lawrence on Thursday last :
Jas. H. Lane shot Gaius Jenkins
with a shotgun, ninety-eight shot
taking effect. The circumstances, as
near as we are able to ascertain, are
as follows; Jenkins and Lane settled
upon the same claim some three years
ago, each making the necessary inn
provements. Subsequently a man
by the name of Chapman settled up
on the same claim. erected house,
dug well, and otherwise improved
it. Later, Jenkins bought Chapman
off, thus becoming possessed Of his
improvements. The claim case has
been contested for some time before
the Land officers at Lecompton, and
the case sent to Washington to be
adjudged. Jenkins rented the inn
provements he bought of Chapman to
Mr.. , but always obtained water
for family use from the well dug by
Chapman.
Lanes wife lately arrived in the
Territory, and Lane then obtained
boarding with Mr.. -a, - and after
wards hired another house for Mr.
- to move into, thereby gaining
possession of the Chapman improve
ments! AS matter Of course an en-
nifty existed between Lane and Jen-
kins, and Lane ordered Jenkins not
to get water at the we'll, threatening
him, and finally telling him that he
would shoot him if he persisted. On
Thursday morning Jenkins sent word
to Lane that on that day he should be
over fora pail of water. Lane went
over toLawrence and got some am
unition, went home and loaded his
shot-sun. Jenkins, with three or
four hired men proceeded to the gate,
taking his ak and knocking it open.
Lane having fastened it up.) Lave
came out and ordered him to desist.
Jenkins knowing his rights, refused
to stop, declaring that water he would
have, Lane went back into the house,
brought out his gun, took deliberate
aim, and said, "if you advance an
other step I'll shoot" Jenkins ad-
vanced, Lane fired. He enever uttered
word, but with the ejaculation Oh
fell upon his face and expired imme-
diately. Lane received slight
wound from a revolver fired by one
of Jenkins attendants.-Minneola

A Union Of the Opposition.

We find in the Buffalo Espress, u
copy of a circular signed by seven OF
the m ost prominent citizens of Erie
county, New York, urging the pro.
priety and necessity Of a union of all
the opponents Of the Lecompton swim
die in the State, upon single ticket
at the next State election. The prop
osition meets with marked favor from
the New York Tribune and other
leading Republican journals, and it is
quite probable that it will be acted
upon in the manner contemplated in
the circular. The large number Of
Members Of Congress to be returned
from the Empire State to the next
Congress gives this suggestion more
than ordinary importance. Its adopt
ion would be hailed with joy by the
10 ers of freedom throughout the
Union Winona Republican,

Arizona.

Unless the friends offreedom in the
States are on the lookout, Arizona
will be made Slave State, Titus,
with about one hundred and fifty des-
peradoes of like character, are about
starting across the plains to that dis
tant region, Their ostensible pur-
pose is mining; but their real obj cct
is to make that free Territory a Slave
State. A few determined spirits Of
the right stripe, with a free press,
would save that distant Territory to
freedom. The object to be attained
is worth the effort. The slave power
has yielded Kanzas up to freedom
from stern necessity. They will on-
ly surrender Arizona on the same
conditions. The right element in
troduced there now, would be able to
gain the confidence ofthe native pop
ulation to educate the people Alright,
and free institute ons would follow, as
matter course. Herald of Freedom.

The Killing of Gaius Jenkins.

No circumstance which has oc-
Cured at Lawrence within the past
two years has created SO much excite
ment or been the subject Of such uni
versal discussion among the people
of the Territory, as the most melan-
choly event Of Friday last, wherein
GAlUs JENKINS, Esq, received a
death shot from the hands of Gen.
LANE. The result is equally unfor-
fortunate to the position and charac-
ter of Gen. LANE as it is melancholy
and grievous to the friends of Mr..
jenkins. Already have the enemies
of the General seized upon the details
Of the affair with the avidity Of
starved hyenas and shaped the fea-
lures in manner to prejudice peo-
pie not Conversant with the facts
against him, In another column
may be found articles from three Of
The Generals newspaper enemies
We copy them for the purpose Of
showing our readers how unfair an
unScrupulous enemy can be at the
misfortune of the object of its venom.
1t is truly humiliating and disgrace
full to the character Of our party for
men to be actuated by emotions Of
petty envy and jealously, and eagerly
jump at every little unfortunate cir
cumstance which May attend man
who has labored and sacrificed so
much for the attainment of freedom
in Kanzas as Gen. JAMES H. LANE,
and twist, conceal and exaggerate
them for the object of his injury
7 q fact that we have such men in
our ranks is really more melancholy
than the recent Lawrence affair. We
do not by any means pretend to call
this little circumstance. 1t was a
serious. a grievous and regretful
one, and no one, probably, laments its
occurrence more than Gen. LANE.
But this question, like every other
one, has two sides to it, and next
week we propose to publish a COM
plete, authentic, candid and impartial
statement of the affair, which we are
satisfied will convince our readers
That there are two widely distinct ver-
sions to it. We put this mat
ter off till next week because we
choose legal evidence above that Of
any other, and we are abundantly
satisfied, from facts within our pos
sesseSsion, that the General will ex'
culpate himself from all censure.

contrary, we may well believe that all
such plans will be retarded. The
mean malignity displayed by the Pres
ident in the matter ofthe Land Sales,
is proof enough Of his willingness, as
well as OF ability, to injure us ma
teriahy.
Again, in answer to the statements
relative to the debts Of the Topeka
State srganizati n; they do not, in
the first place, amount in all to TWEEN
ty thousand dollars, and in the sec
ond, the debts Of all Territories, on
admission into the Union, are assumed
by the General Government even
were it not SO, paltry consideration
of this kind should not be allowed to
influence a people having great prin-
ciples at stake. AS for the Leaven-
worth Convent on, the General Gov
ernment is constrained to pay its ex-
penses, because it emanated from,
and was a child of its child-the Ter
ritorial Government, or at least of its
legislative branch. With a State
Government, we should get rid of the
hordcs that fattening on Federal pro-
visions, are expressing the people to
the hindrance of better order and
prosperity.
The late terrible tragedy in the
South, and the troubles that have ex-
listed there for the last six months,
afford very strong argument in ia
vor of a State organization. Had we
sovereign authority, these things
would not occur, because the villains
who perpetrate them, would feel sure
ofmeeting condign punishment; and
ifthey did occur, active and immedi-
ate steps would be taken to bring the
assassins to justice, instead of as now,
q Governor sneaking out ofthe way,
as Denver seems to be doing, in order
to avoid taking steps towards the pun
ishment of the villains, that may no
he agreeable to his masters at Wash
ington. Our own Governor, ere this,
would have had requisitlons issued on
tile Governor Of Missouri, and all
other requisite legal steps taken for
the arrest Of those who committed
the crime. Now, whatever is done,
is done outside Of the law, and when
men seek the Governor for the pur-
pose Of urging him TO take legal means
to secure the people in their lives and
property, he is not to be found.
We say to the people of Kanzas,
turn out to o man to vote down Le-
compton Junior, the child Of the un-
natural and unlawful union existing
between Jecms Buchanan and the
slave drivers of The South, whose pu-
tative father is the doughface English,
and the deliveIyof which was anx-
iously attended by Green, Biglcr and
Stephens as physicians extraordinary,
Then take all and every means to
urge your admission into the Union
under the Free State Constitution,
that we may get OUT of the cursed
bondage that gals us, thwarts our
wishes, and renders nugatory our best
efforts, so that we may stand up an
"equal sovereign of a slaveleSs land
with those Northern States with
whom our syApathies and suffering
have bound us forever.
