The Arrest Of Jack Henderson In
Kansas.
From an Occasional Correspondent

From an Occasional Correspondent.
QUINDARo, Kansas, Jan. IS.
The ostensble motive for the arrest OF
Jack Henderson, here, was a charge of
tampering with the election returns. The
The charge was no doubt true, and his
arrest legal; but the Free State men had
another motive for preventing his leaving
the Territory Just at this time. Jack had
just returned from Washington, where he
had been counselling Mr.. Buchanan in
regard to Kansas. and was on his return
to Washington at the time Of his arrest,
with the official copy of the Lecomptor
Constitution in his possession. A few
Free State men, who knew this fact, de
termined that this official copy shoulc
never reach Mr.. Buchanan, and took thi
means of preventing it.
The Administration are very anxious 70
this official copy. Washington letter
writer's will no doubt inform you that 'th
official copy of the Constitution is expec
ted to- morrow'-but heed them not. Th
official copy, is safe enough here, auC
need not be expected at Washington a
all.
Jack Henderson may, in due time,

PUCu,y PuESENT POSITION,

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post says:
Several distinguished Ohio politicians a re
here just now-among them Payne, who came
80 near being Governor of Ohio, and the Plain.
dcalev, Postmaster Grey. Some of these gentle
men had OH interview with Senator Pugh on
Saturday. lie explains his course on the Kan
sas question in this fashion: his compromise
bill was concocted by older heads than his; the
President, among others, gave his assent to it,
only with the provision that Lecompton, with.
out reference to the people, should first be push
cd with the utmost rigor, and the compromise
accepted at last. Pugh says Of his present po-
sAlon; "I am for my bill, but | believe in the
right of instruction, and shall consequently vote
with Senator Douglas, under protest.

It is confidently stated in the diplomatic cir.
cles here that war between Mexico and Spain,
is inevitable. The latest advices from Mr.
Dodge, our Minister TO Spain, state that ii is the
generally received opinion at Madrid that Spain
will shortly make demonstration on Mexico,
England and France to the contrary nOtwith-
standing, and that active preparations TO that
end is now in progress. Intimations of Santa
Anna completely in the contemplated invasion
are also mOoted. The government has sent
stringent orders 10 the Captain General of CJfs
ba to have the Spanish naval forces in America
put at once in the highest state Of efficiency.
| On the other hand, letters received here by
the last mai from Mexico, day or two since
say that negative reply to the Spanish prclim
mary propositions has been recently sent t
Gen. Almonte, the Mexican Minister in Eng
land, and to Senior Lafragun and that they ar
instructed by the Mexican Government not t
reccde in a single point from the Just demand
that Mexico has made. The story that Sant
Anna has been lately in Havanna is not credit
cd here although IT is known that his agents ar
, actively at work there, ald possesses the favo
OF the Government.

Especial Correspondence Of tho Gin, Gazette. J
LAWRENCE. X. T., Monday, Jan. l9.
There is serious difficulty with the Indians
| on the Shawnee Reservation near Franklin. a
few miles from this place. Their selections of
lands ere not yet made public, SO they regard
all the white settlers as intruders, and feel bit.
terly toward them. Two or three days since
fued which had existed for sometime between
Schouler, white settler, and Ned ToOey, an
Indian, resulted in collision between armed
bands of eight or ten on both sides. Schouler
was badly stabbed, and he shot TOoley dead
upon the spot.
Tho Indians, wrought up to desperation by
revenge, prepared for extreme measures of re-
taliation. Last night an armed body of hun
dred and fifty of them, surrounded the country
drove off the families Ct the settlers, and burn
ed eight or ten dwellings.
Prompt steps will probably be taken to quel
them, by calling out the militia. CRAYoH.
