What The Wires Say.

Tho telegraph wires have been humming
with messages from Washington for day
or two, asking questions of the faithful in
this city.
Jim Steedman, who went Douglas until
approaching the jumping off place, and who
then said, "he'd be Id if he would
sacrifice himself" seems to have hold o.
the battery at Washington. We have il
from authority which we rely upon that &
message came from Steedman to Geo. G.
Dodge, asking these questions,
Are you Buchanan man?
Are you in favor of Lecompton?
Do you want the Post Ofice2
Will you in connection with said Office
establish newspaper!
To the first two questions Dodge answer
ed, 81 am" To the third he said Il do"
but to the fourth he demurred as the scheme
was of doubtful expediency in peeuniary
point of view.
Charles Winslow, too, has been catechiz-
ed. He replied that he was Buchanan
man, and a Lecompton man, and would
like the Post Office. The newspaper lues-
ton was not put to him.
So it seems "things are WORKING

The Late ARRAY in the House.

Our Representative IN Congress, Mr.

nd in connection with the Keitt and Grow

tract of letter from the former gentleman

ly found myself in hand-to-hand fight
with two Mississippians. The blows fell
thick and fast between US, but I received
no damage. The melee lasted some two
or three minutes; about dosen members
were engaged. Potter, of Wisconsin, was
in the thickest Of the affray and fought like
an unclaimed and ferocious tiger, laying
about him on all sides, hitting the fre-eat-
ers right and left. c. c. W., was also in
the thickest of it, "letting have with right

The Women of Wayne.

About thirty women of Fredericksburg,
in Wayne County, on Wednesday last made
the tour of the town, visiting three grocer
les. The first establishment called upon
was Porters grog shop, where they de-
manded his liquor, which he showed them
and then with axes, &c. knocked out the
heads of his whisky casks. Their second
call was on Lawrence grocery, but he re-
fusing to show his liquors, they knocked in
the heads of his liquids, leaving his cellar
bottom six inches deep with rum, molas-
ses, oil and whisky. The third call was at
the hotel of Benepe, where the landlord,
making virtue of necessity, gave up his
"blue ruin," and the same was emptied in
to the gutter.
The company was led by two women
who, by the intemperance of their hus-
bands, have suffered worse than death, and
again and again have begged with tears
that these whisky dealers should sell their
husbands no more liquor. = Ctepeland

Legislative Summary.

The Senate, yesterday morning, had un-
der consideration, the act to so amend the
Election laws, as to provide for opening the
polls at from eight to ten o'clock, A. NJ,
and closing at seven o'clock, P. N. A
proposition to amend SO as to open at six
o'clock, A. NJ, was voted down, and finally
the bill itself killed by striking out all af-
ter the enacting clause. The afternoon
was principally taken up with the discus
sion of the House bill repeating the law of
the last Legislature, which forbids the
Clergy from receiving deeds in trust for
their congregations. The bill was sustain
ed by Messrs. Phelps, Winans and Taylor,
and opposed by Mr.. Buckland. 1t was
finally passed by decided majority, men
of both parties voting for it.
In the House bill for the sale of the
Public Works was introduced by Mr.. RAN
kin. Mr.. Finefrock introduced bill to
re-instate contractors on the Public Works.
In the afternoon Mr.. Monroe offered q
resolution to so amend the Constitution as
to provide for the ANIMAL election of State
Representatives and the biennial election
of Senators, and to provide 70 Annual Ses-
sions of the Legislature, which he prefaced
with speech, and which resolutions were
ordered to be printed.-Ohio Statesman,

Kansas Frauds---Requisitions.

Lawrence dates of the 4th state that the
Delaware Crossing forgery of election re-
turns rests between Calhoun, Isaacs, Hen
derson, Franklin, and Diefendorf, and that
the Investigating Committee have hopes
of identifying the hand writing. The
names in the returns of the Kickapoo elec-
tion are mostly copied from the Buffalo
City Directory. Cincinnati is again used
for Oxford and Shawnee, while Delaware
Crossing is a mixture of the two.
Acting Gov. Denver has issued requi-
sition on the Governor of Missouri for the
person of Mclean as fugitive from JUS
tice. and also upon President Buchanan for
the body of John Calhoun, now in the city
of Washington. This requisition is made
upon Buchanan as the Chief Magistrate of
the District of Columbia.
The piled up basket of official Guberna-
torial heads in Kansas will probably soon
be topped out with that of Denver. This
last act will be his death warrant. His
proclamation to the Missourians-hisr ready
disposal of the troops at elections-hjs in
dignation at Calhoun-his active co-opera-
tion with the Legislature-and his energy
in exposing and Furnishing fraud, all cyi-
dence that Mr.. Buchanan in his Kansas
policy of paying high price for executive
tools and choice rascals, committed anoth.

What is left of the Democratic party in
Holmes county, are requested to assemble
at the Court House in Millersburg, at the
earliest convenient day, then and there to
determine whether they are to be included
in the transfer of their Congressman to
the Lecomptonites, or not-whelher it is
best for the party TO have an opinion on
this "Kansas tangle," or not-or, whether,

in order 10 come down on the winning side
to have opinions both ways,-a sort Of
admixture of milk and water, being neith-
er one nor the other. And lastly, to de-
eide, whether there is any such thing left
as the Democratic party-and, oh, most
important of all-who 1t dare trust.

fcation on the election of BURNS.

walker ON Buchanan.

Gen. WALKER was recently arrested by
the United States authorities at New Or
leans. He has given bail for his appear
ance, but there are those who say the trial
will never be had. BUCHANAN does not
desire it, his friends do not desire it,
Walker is prepared to prove that Buchanan
urged him 10 re-inyade Nicaragua, and
promised him that he should not be dis
turbed. Ex-senator SoULE and Col. STAT
TER, of N. O., were present when this
promise was given. Walker demands his
trial, and both of these men will be wit
nesses, and swear to these statements.
What a fix does this place Buchanan in. It
will show him up to the world as hypo-
crite, a two-faced and insincere man, and
a gray-haired old demagogue. Walker
will be acquitted at the expense Of Buch-
anan's character.

R Mr.. KEITr's "apology" to the House
for his difficulty with Grow, is in many
quarters commended as '.handsome," 'smag-
nanimous," etc. 1t was no such thing, but
was mere bit of wanton braggadocio.
He remarked that he was "the aggressor," ,"
was "solely responsible &C., &c. The
tone of the remark being, that instead of
having repented his act of aggression, he
was rather complacent, even boastful of it.
He simply wished all the credit for his
rufianism.

M. n-..ch WldenIag.

We hear of large and enthusiastic De
,nocratic meetings held all over the coun-
ty,denouncing the adoption Of the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, and the action of Presi-
dent BUCHANAN in trying to force it thro'
Congress. speakers at these meetings,
without single exception that we know
Of, were men who labored to secure Mr..
BucHANAs's election, and those that attend
are men who voted for him, bat cannot re-
main silent when favorite principle of the
party is about to be sacrifced-when q
Constitution that is repuguant to nine
tenths Of the people, is about to be forced
upon that people, merely to CRAFTY the de-
mands of the Slave power.
Not only in Congress, but in the several
State Legislatures now in session, is this
bitter quarrel in the Democratic party rag
ing. In the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
the division is beyond all hope cfreconcilia-
ton, and there, where the President might
be expected to have the strongest support
ers, he appears to have but few friends on
the leading measure of his administration.
In New Jersey, too, the Legislature has
condemned the Lecompton usurpaticn.-
And even Tennessee, a slave State, prop
osition to endorse this Administration
measure has been rejected. These three
Legislatures are strongly Democratic in
their party composition.
In the States of Indiana and Illinois, to
which Mr.. BUCHANAN owes his election,
the Lecompton instrument has but few
friends and many strong opponents, and it
is quite certain that should the five fee
States, which gave their electoral votes to
Mr.. BUCHANAN, be called upon to give a
popular vote on the endorsement Of the
Administration with its Kansas policy at
this time. not one per cent. of the votes
they gave him for President, would be
given in its favor; and should President
ial election take place tomorrow, with BU-
cHANAN the Democratic and FREMoT the
candidate, the former would
not receive the electoral vote of solitary
free State in the Union.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL.
A base Lecompton trick upon Congress
has Just been discovered. Regent Cal
houn now fatty repudiates his pledges to
reject the false returns and give certificates
to the Free State majority of the elect to
the Lecompton Legislature.
On Monday morning, Caloun sent Dis
trict Attorney Weir to Harris and Douglas,
declaring that the Delaware Crossing re-
turns were fraudulent, and that Free
State majority was elected; and he prom
ised published statement thereof the
next morning. This WAS done 10 defeat
Harris motion for the Special Committee
with instructions.
There was long Cabinet council yes
terday, and it is believed that it was then
determined that Calhoun should not fulfil
his pledge. The impesture has excited
great indignation among the Free State
Democrats here.
The New York Iri6une's letter SAYS:

Mr.. Hoard's motion TO investigate the
question of Executive interferences in Con-
gressional legislation fell like a bomb shell
on the Democratic side of the House. The
CONSERVATION it caused was positively lu-
dicrous. Members ran in all directions,
and dozen impromptu caucuses were held
while the discussion went on. In spite of
the clamor against him Mr.. Hoard was
cool and collected and managed the mat
Ter very well.
MIR. Giddings, of Ohio, regretted that
there should be so much excitement on the
subject, as it was very grave matter, and
should be considered calmly. The House
should clear itself of all charges of corrup-
ton. As Mr.. G. was speaking with much
warmth, his friends surrounded him, and
warned him that his state of health would
not permit him to speak too much. After
a pause, Mr.. G. resumed. He expressed
much sympathy for his colleague, (Burns)
and appealed to him to ask for Commit
tee of Investigation. Here Mr.. Giddings
friends again interposed, and prevailed up
On him to sit down.
The Administration gain nothing by lay
ng the resolution on the table. They
shrink from damaging investigation, but
he public will inquire, and the affair will
lot be dropped in Congress. The evil
lence against Mr.. Burns IS said to bs very
trong.
