LAWRENCE, X. T., Jan. Is, 1853.
The fsmou. or Infamous Jack Hendenon-or. a.

through his nose, "Mr President, apprehend."
&c.-has at last been summarily "spprehended.
He was brought here BY Deputy United otates
Marshal, charged with committing frauds ON tho
elective franchise. The part which Jack played n
the recent bogus game is about this: The Free
state men of Leayenworth having polled some
TWENTY-FIVE hundred votes it was discovered thst
even Kickapoo in all its glory. would be- unable 70
reverse this decision. A poll had been opened at
the Delaware crossing of the kaw, IN the indisa
Reserve. At that point, there is little iudsn VII

NOT vote. and there are but few Others there ex-
cept an agent, and perhaps ferryInan. Inero
may be- sprnkling of the whtey-browns common
in Indian countries, which are styled 'haii Indian
and half AGENT" but even the doubtful paternity
of these does not ente them TO the elective fran
chise. However. at the point in question the FRO.
Slavery men polled some thirty votes, most ot
which were probably from Westport. Finding that
more votes would be needed, the Border Humans
sent Jack Henderson down 10 the delaware cross
inc for the returns. Jack accordingly went after
votes, by the time the returns reached Lecomptoa
the Delaware vote stood at upward OF 1--WE hundred
"A number sufficient ~ save the democracy" Of
Leayenworth County and the country generally -ths
increase having been made, rs the lawyers would
say IN trdHsitn.
Nothing can indicate the spread of " fsuaticism"
more conclusiyely than the fact that our friend
Apprehenderson should have been appreciated
for such peccadlo. The PROSTATE men Of
Ieayenworth hunted up the Judges of election at the
Delaware crossing, got sundry aifidayits from them
to the effect that 80 votes only were east and that
tbe returns showed said fact; and, having secured
these prelimnaries, the next thing was to secure
Apprehension.
That estmable individual having done his duty, No
above recited. started for Washington yesterday. no
doubt TO inform the President Of the triumph of
the Democracy" AT Wyandot, however, h. was
taken off the boat BY virtue of writ OF something,
and L. s. Deputy Marshal escorted him to Law
renee. When Jack arrived, he was all viyacity. He
no doubt felt that he had done nothing of which, M
:" good Democrat" be need be- ashamed. hs
Jumped out of the carriage on his arrival in this
fanatical city of Lawrerce, and in his usual way
proposed 10 treat the party that had given him 80
honorable an escort. He proposed adjournng to

lshed in this city since the people grew con-

Administration here. For his services IN securing

observe that the President has been pretending
to his Northern friends that Martin aud Henderson
and EmOre, and his other creatures here, deceived
him in fixing up the LecOmptOn swindle a. they did.
Do not believe anything ofthe kind. They are, in.
deed, quite capable Of cheating most for the man
who pays them most but az the President has been
paying them most know too much OF them not to
know that they are doing the work Of the Admins
traion. Martin, who is clerk in the Department
of the Interior, left here for Washington with tho
news Of Democratic victory in the recent State
election. He has, doubtless, trumpeted the results
ere this. Prior to his leaving, he was most indefati-
gable. That he cOnspred at and was an active party

conclusive. How disgraceful il the conduct Of tho

brides of money and place, 10 that the Lecomp-

petrated in the election to make it a sure thing.
While the Administration is pretending to be sorTy
that matters assumed the shape they did, it is ac-
tually responsible for the result, and for the very
basest election frauds ever practiced in Kansas.
Both Legislatures in session here. note no
new business OF importance in the Territorial Legis-
lature, its action yesterday being chiefly on special
legislation. An enabling act for new Constitu.
tona Convention has been introduced, aud win be
one of the adopted features, / suppose. A bill il
under consideration providing for the investigation
of election frauds. 1t provides for Board Of Com
missioners who shall proceed to investigate thee
frauds.
The State Legislature has passed Militia law.
This law will, in many respects, conform TO that
passed by the Territorial Legislature, and will
exist under the State organization should the Terri.
torial Government be destroyed by Congress. An
Election law, laws for county and township organ.
zation, and on several other important matters, are
progress. There have also been number Of ap-
pications for special legislation from this body.
