The KANSAS BOARD OF CONFERENCE.-The
We hnd in the correspondence of the New
York EraHipg Post, the following facts with
regard TO the composition of the Commission
created by the English Kansas bill to super
wise The election provided for in that bill
1T viii be remembered that Mr.. Denver
was appointed Secretary Of the Territory Of
Kansas, and TO act as Governor until other
wise ordered by the President He has re-
Gently been regularly appointed as Governor,
and Mr.. II. S. Walsh of Mississippi who
was clerk to acting Governor stanton, has
been appointed Secretary Of the Territory
So that the Board Of Commission under the
Conference bill will be as follows;
Governor. W Denver.
Secrotary--Hugh S. Walsh
President of the Council-G. W Deitzler
Speaker of Asscmbly-C. W Babcock
L $. Attorney for Kansas-Wm. Weer.
Mr.. Denver has generally manifested dis
position to be fair. lie is about to undergo
seyerer test than any to which he has yet
been subjected.
Mr.. Walsh entertained the same opinions
as Mr. Stanton while he acted as Secretary Of
the latter. Now he is Mr.. Buchanans Score
tary, it remains to be seen whether he con-
tinues to reflect his own or Mr.. Buchanan
views
Mr.. Wccr, as United States Attorney Of
the Territory, decided that no person could
vote in the Territory who did not pay the
territorial tax. This decision was oyerruled
by the President and Cabinet, and has been
denounced by Denver and Hewcs. Mr.. Weer
was warm friend of Calhoun in the Lecomp-
ton Constitutional Convention. and aided in
making the Constitution. When he discov-
cred that Douglas was opposed to it, being a
friend TO that gentleman, he took his chances
with him, and came here and opposed Lee
compton. This caused him to be suspended
for while, for during the whole Kansas fight
in Congress, this session. Woor has been here
and the Territory has been without an At
torney-in- Chief Now it is decided, as ! stat
cd in my last letter, that no more of Douglas 8
friends are to be removed, and Mr.. Weer, it
is understood, goes back to Kansas as United
States Attorney. After having passed through
the fiery furnace with his friend Douglas he
will undoubtedly remain firm to the views Of
his leader, which are that the people shall
have fair election, and that all frauds shall
be repudiated
The views of Messrs. Dcitzer and Babcock
are too well known to require any comment.
They are true and firm men. They will guard
the right Of the people with constant faithful
ness.
Since writing the above ! learn that an
intimation has been made TO Mr.. Woer that
he cannot go back to Kansas as United
States Attorney without first agreeing to vote
and work for the admission of Kansas with
Lecompton.
1t gives me pleasure to say that Mr.. Wecr
declines to accept the terms upon which be
has been notified he can continue to serve
this glorious buchanan Administration"
The following is from the correspondence
of the New York Times
"Our army in Flanders never swore wors,
than various gentlemen interested in the new
volunteer regiments have to-day over the de-
cislon OF the President in regard to them
PREVIOUS to the passage of the Deficiency
anu hahsas bills, they allege that they wert
tod ny the President that the regiments
would DC designated Immediately on the
passage IN consequence of which thew labor
ed vigorously to get them through. and actin
ally did secure votes on both hills wbicl
otherwise would not have been given 10
day, however, they were coolly told by Sec
rotary Floyd, that the President had determ
ined not to designate the regiments until aite
the passage Of the General Appropriation
bill Intense indignation is felt in conse
quonce, and the parties from one State hav
with difficulty been restrained from publish
ing card in the States, blowing up the Pres
ident and all concerned"
