Railroad Dificulties.

BUFFALO, June 9th,-Trouble has for
some time existed between the Buffalo,
New York and Erie Railroad Co and the
New York Central, at Batavia, in regard
to crossing which the former was alle-
ged to make of the latter's track. This
the Central Company was determined to
prevent, and for that purpose they have
had, for several days past, a train of
freight cars chained to the track, direct.
ly At the point of crossing, which togeth-
er with four heavy locomotives, and q
large gang of men, has thus far effectual-
iy prevented the crossing being made.
The Erie Company applied to the Sheriff
for protection, and were determined to
make the crossing to-day BY force If nec-
essary. Serious trouble was apprehen-
ded, but matters are now in fair way of
settlement. An injunction was issued,
restraining the New York Central Rail
road from resisting the hyipg of the track
Of the Buffalo, New York and Erie Rail-
road. The injunction has been served
on the attorney and agents OF the Cen
trail Road, and the distinctions are now
all being removed from the crossing, in
compliance with the order. A an act Of
retaliation, the New York and Erie Rail.
road have reduced their fare from Buffa-
10 to New York to S., and from Rochas-
ter to New York 10 81.

The fact that Gaius jenkins, Of Law
renee, was killed by James ii. Lane on
Friday last has already been reported by
the telegraph. The particulars of the
horrible affair, as we learn from n gentle
man who left the Territory on Saturday
morning, are as follows:
There was dispute between Lane and
Jenkins conccrniing valuable land claim,
lying in close proximity to Lawrence.
This dispute engendered a cordial hat
red, which extended to the private rela-
tions Of the parties. Some weeks ago,
Lanes family arrived in Kansas, and
Lane took them upon the contested claim,
without having legal title to the same
the suit concerning the title being still
before the proper tribunal. This action
ON the part of Lane excited jenkins, bu.
nothing passed between them till Friday,
the 4th inst. On this day jenkins in
formed Lane that he intended drawing
some water from the well on the claim.
Lane told him to refrain, but jenkins
paid no attention to the caution and made
his appearance near the claim during the
day. He was provided with a gun and
an axe, and was accompanied by three
companions. As he approached he laid
down his gun, and took up the axe to
knock the chain from the lock by which
it was fastened. As he stepped forward
Lane appeared in front of the house arm
ed with loaded shot gun. jenkins
gave look Of defiance at his enemy, and
in the next moment fell to the Garth
corpse; having received an immense
charge of buckshot in his breast.
As Jenki' fell, one of his friends fred
three times at Gen. Lane, one ball mis-
sing him, the other grazing his forehead,
and the third burying itself in the calf
of his leg. bringing him to the ground
1t was narrowing spectacle. The body
Of Mr. jenkins was soon removed and
Lane taken into custody. Mrs. jenkins
was nearly crazed ut the fearful iutelli.
gence Of the death Of her husband She
is lying in dangerous condition. Jen.
kins bore an excellent character, and his
loss will be dsely regretted.
1t is proper to state that Gen. Lane
claims that he was fully justified in shoot
ing down his Adjutant General-for
strange as it may seem, such jenkins
was--and asserts that he can establish his
justification before tho COURT of his
country.
The feeling against Lane was general
throughout the Territory.
Last reports indicate that there was
some talk of lynching Lane. but it is
hardly probable that this will done Lane
is at present in close custody, and his
trial will come off at an early day.

We have already in several editorials
alluded to the fact, that on the above
date, the people Of Iowa will be called
upon to vote on the State Bank and Gen.
eral Banking Laws-or as cotem porary
states it, to decide whether Iowa shall
have Banking system Of its own, or by
rejecting the bills adopted at the late ses-
sion Of the Legislature, remain dependent
upon neighboring States and Territories
for her currency. The Des Moines Citi-
zen gives the form Of ballots to be used
as follows:-"For the General Bank,nq
La,o," or "Against the General Banking
Lasc;" "For tie State Bank Of Iova.''
or "Against the State Bank Of IoOa'
The Citizen makes some sensible remarks
in this connection. when it says-There
should be no conflict between the friends
of Banking System, over the two sys-
TENS presented. Undoubtedly most men
have their preferences. A voter from
Ohio or Indiana would probably prefer
the State Banking system, because he is
accustomed to State Bank paper, and
knows that that system has worked wsll
in those States Men from New York
or New England prefer the Independent
Banks, because they are better ac1uain-
ted with institutions on this basis, and
have come to regard it as the safest and
best basis for Western State. II Is OBJ
vious that if one class Of these voters de-
posit ballots for one system only, and
negative ballots on the other proposition
presented. q spirit of retaliation will be
excited, which will place it in the pow
or, possibly, Of the opponents Of all Bank
ing, to defeat both the propositions SUBJ
mitted by the Legislature. Our advise
is, therefore, TO the friends Of q Home
Currency, Of al names, parties and clas-
ses. to deposit an affirmative ballot on
both the, propositions presented. IF the
systems are not perfect. they can be per-
fected hereafter. II is certain that they
are sufficiently stringent to make the bill
holders safe undet all contingencies. -
BY some il Is alleged that they are 30
stringent there win be no Banking under
them. We have no fears On that score.
II is not policy Of the State TO invite
