that Regent Calhoun has rejected such returns Of the
recent election as ,cere Transmitted to Co., Denrer

Lecomptonwise, which will secure their seats in
the Senate for number of years
We are opposed to killing men when there IS any

On Tuesday last, in the Federal House Of Repre-

tor for Texas was announced by Mr.. Reagan, in
speech not remarkable for extravaganza, and in

after Mr.. Resgsn had concluded, and had presented
the usud resolutions Mr.. Keitt, thinking this to
BE- capital chance for airing his unique style of
eloquerce, got upon bis legs, ION behalf of the
" Commonwealth of South Carolina, and must
nearly have succeeded in metamorphosing the
funereal into the farcical. Why the memory of
Gen. Rusk. who was, We believe, person of very

The public will learn from the interesting letter
of our correspondent at Constantnople which is
given in another column, that an Admiral and four
other officers of the Turkish navy are now
on their way to this country, to procure the con-
structiOn of large war steamship and of'Other
vessels Of war for the Sultan. The same authority
also states that the American residents in Turkey
have united in recommending to the President Mr..
John P. Brown, the present COnsul.General at

Minister at tho Turkish Court

We give this morning another chapter OF devel-
opments from the Street Department, comprising
a further series of premeditated and successful
frs,,ds upon property owners. 1t appears by these
Dspers that system Of alteration OF contracts, OF
living surveys, and of perjury in swearing 10 ac-
counts has been carried on to most incredible
extent Of course Mr.. Charles Devhn figures IN
the document--that pink Of virtue, whose honor Is
above impeachment. Let the swlndled taxpayers
read carefully and mark well these Developments
We present also q paper from the Chairman OF
Che Committee appointed by the late Board OF
rouncilmen to look into affairs in the Controllers
Office In this Department-the most important
In all the GOvernment-everything wants revising
There is great confusion in the books important
bapers are missing accounts are loosely rendered,
and in many cases apparent deficiencies to large
amount are manifest. Whether any great sums
have been lost or stolen, is not yet known; but it
is more than probable that such will be shown il
Che investigation is fully carried out. This, how
ever, is not 30 certain. full scrutiny of the FL
nance Department necessarily involves all the other
Departments; and as that would inevitably convict
the Democratic party of making the Treasury Of
this city for years mere sinking fund to detray the
cost of the State and Presidential elections, and
,ipon which to pension shoulder-hitters and stump
Candidates, the prospect of a thorough expose Is
not Hsttering. The inveterate hate manifested
toward "Od Flsgg" will help along little, but
tAe Overwhelming nfsmy which must inevitably
cover four.ffths of all the Offce-holders aud con-
tractors who have got the spoils will prevent any
definite result In fact it may justly be questioned
If it is possible TO get from the Mayor or Com
mon Council any Committee who will dare
10 uncover the shocking depravity here
limited at. Admitting the mere possibility of get
ting men Of honest intentions how far can they go
before an intimate friend, perhaps some noisy City
Reformer, comes up for censure? If we ever get
fan Development, it must De done by strangers,
en- who have neither relationship acquaintance,
nor business sympathy with the city; men of great
bility and mental force, armed with the amplcst
Judicial authority, and divided politically that
party whitewashing will be out of the question.
That an investigation should be made is conceded
iy all. Shall il be an empty sham, done only to
shield party friends or shall We have men to do
it who will bring out the truth, the whole truth,
aud nothing but the truth, without fear OF favor
1t would BIO terrible exposition; but none other
can satisfy the demands of the honest portion of a
deeply W tonged community

OF this vote, no less than 3, 0l2 were thrown at
Kickapoo, Shawnee and Oxford, on the Missouri
border where it is morally certain that not more
than five hundred votes in all can have been hon
estly polled Deduct the rifestly foul votes of
these precincts Ito say nothing of ohers) and there
remain some -Four Thousand votes in all for the
LecomptOn Constitution to more than Ten Thou
sand recorded against it. There ought, surely, to
be no further question as to what is the will Of the
People of Kansas with regard to that instrument.
And let il be borne in mind that the Constitutional
Election of Jan. 4 was held under an act Of the
Territorial Legislature approved by Gov. Stanton,
and that Gov. Denver was specially charged from
Washington 10 recognize and protect this election,
which he did And he officially certifes the result.
At the Election, held also on the An inst, but
under the Lecompton Constitution TO choose State
Officers, Members OF Congress and Legislature,
The returns were made TO Regent Calhoun, but he
invited the presiding officers of the Territorial
Legislature to meet with him and officially canvass
the votes. This they did on the 18th and lith
INST, and though the regular organization OF the
Free-State party refused to recognize or yOte at
this election il appears that the Free-State boilers
who d'd vote al It have succeeded. The presiding
officers Calhoun not concurrng) report the result
Of that election as follows:

The last Congress passed act changing the
Compensation of Members which embOdies some
good and some very bad features. Among the good
was one providing in substance that each Member
should receive, !. His Mileage at the beginning of
each Session: 2 His pay, $3.50 per month at the
close of each month of actual service, while bis
$3.50 per month for the idle time prior 10
the commencement Of each Session becomes pay
able only at the close of such Session. The act was
very sharply and justly assaled, but this feature of
it has never, within our knowledge, been objected
T..
Yet the present Congress, at the very outset of
its first Session, though the Treasury was empty
and many public creditors anxiOusly awaiting their
pay, repealed this section, or SO changed it that
the $3.50 per month for all the months of hiatus or
non-acton are made payable, not at the close, but
at the beginning of the following Session. By this
change some Half Million Dollars has been dis.
bursed at the beginning instead of the close of
the present Session.
Let Us consider the injustice of this change in
the light Of individual examples.
Dir, Banks was first chosen to this Congress, and
accepted. He was subsequently chosen Governor
OF bis State, ard accepted that post. He went on
TO Washington, and served one month, returning 10
Massachusetts, to be insrgursted about the lst OF

This result ia secured by what we may consider
Kansas practice. The result hinged on LesSen-
worth county (which chooses three Senators and
eight Representatiyes) The Pro-Slsvery party
supposed they had cheated enough at Kickapoe 70
carry it, but they learned some time after the pols
closed, that they were short. Accordingly an
emissary was dispatched to alittle Democratic
nest, known as Delaware Crossing, TO get up
bogus return from that hole, which he did, swelling
the actual vote of 80 to bogus vote OF 500. Ids
would have carried the county, elected all the Pre-
Slavery State ticket but Matthias and Carr, and
given Democratic" majority of troo in the
House and one in Joint Ballot, securing the U. >.
Senators. But, on his way back from Delaware
Crossing, the bogus emissary was arrested under
the new law against Election frauds, and taken 10
Lawrence, where there was evidence prepared to
convict him, and ropes ready to hang him II that
had been deemed necessary. But Mr.. Jack Hen
derson-for if was no other than that distinguished
indvidual-concluded not TO present his bogus re-
turns; 30 the result on the face of the returns Is
as above stated, though nobody supposes that any
thing like half the Pro-Slavery vote cast by
legal voters.
What Mr.. John Calhoun will do in the premises
remains to be seen. 1t may be of some conse-
quence at Washington, but very little in Kansas
The people of that State know who have been elect
ed, and il will be decidedly unsafe for any others
to undertake to exercise authority in that quarter
The game of Border Rufianism is very nearly
played out
