hANzAs MATTERs.-The folio wing is from
the Washington correspondence of the New
York Tribune
Mr.. Crawford, who was one of Mr.. Bu-
chanan's electors in Pennsylvania, and
National Democrat, now residing at Fort
Scott, Kanzas, and who was elected member
of the Territorial Council, but declined on
account of the MCGEE frauds, is here. He
says that the recent reported outrages, at Fort
Scott, were kept up by violent Pro- Slavery
leaders like Brockett and Others, as a pretext
for committing murders and the outrages
lately perpetrated. He thinks that there is
every reason to believe that the published
statement that party of Free State men had
notified Judge Williams and others to leave
the Territory under penalty of being killed,
and to which their names were pretendedly
subscrbed-a fact proving its falsity-was
fabricated by these parties themselves and
circulated to excite desperate resentment.
Clarke, the murderer of Barber, was the
chief instigator of these proceedings, though
contriving to keep concealed from personal
participation Crawford preferred serious
charges against him here in the capacity of
acting Register of the Land Office, which
could not be overlooked, though they were
never investigated He was superseded, Int
through the influence of Senator johnson,
to whom he had formerly been an annoyance
in the Arkanzss, was Immediately appointed
a Purser in the Navy, and was confirmed the
other day.
Sach is the testimony of one of the most
conservative and respectable Democrats in
Kanzas, who is still attached to the Admin.
istration.
