STATEMENT BY MR. CALHOUN.

The statement by Mr.. Calhoun concerning
the election in Kansas, published few days
since in the Union, we reprint in the Era, with
certain explanatory comments by the Iatelli-
seacsr. We suppose that it is designed, in pat,
to win over to the Administration the more
credulous and less determined members of the
Douglas section, and also to allay the growing
disgust in the Democratic Party at the North.
One thing should be carefully noticed: Mr..
Calhoun makes not the slightest allusion to
the election Of State officers. Whether that
election turns upon the number of votes at the
Delaware Crossing precinct, or upon other re-
turns which he, as the sole Judge, reserves for
his own consideration, he does not inform us.
His statement bears upon the party complex.
ion of the Legislature alone. He received
and opened return, which he says he be-
leved to be true one, giving 349 votes at the
Delaware Crossing precinct for the "Demo-
cratic ticket" as he styles it, and this secured
democratic" (ProSIavery) majority on
joint ballot in the Legislature. But the Judges
of the election at that precinct have sworn
that only forty. three votes were given there.
If this be true, the Free State Party has the
majority in the Legislature. The necessary
papers, proving it to be true, were forwarded to
Washington, and now Mr.. Calhoun says:
eff the judges of election at that precinct
furnish to me, as informed Gov Denver be-
fore leaving Kansas, reliable and sworn
statement that but forty-three votes were polled
there, l should make myself party to the fraud
if declined to be governed by the oaths of the
judges"
He adds, subsequently,:
| al have written to Governor Denver IN nro.
cure the sworn statements Of the judges of fAs
controUerted precinct, ard to have them taken
under such circumstances as s0iU secure a free
and unbiased exhibition Of facts. By the sworn
statements, 50 procured, l shall be governed in
giving the certificates of election to the mem.

of the Territorial Legislature, to fill a vacancy
caused by the resignation of the original incun-
bent. A Democrat, named Badger, was re-
turned as elected. On investigation, it was as
certained that his majority over Elliott Free
Soil, was entirely made up of spurious vote
returned as having been cast at place called
Port William. When the polls closed there,
it was found that the ninety whine votes cast,
mostly by Missourians and minors, were still
insufficient to elect Badger, SO forty-three sPu'
rious votes were added. All these facts having
been proven before the legislative committee,
Badger was elected from the seat, and Elliot
declared the lawful incumbent.
The N. Y. Freeman's Journal, Catholic
and Dsmocatic journal, is very severe upon the
Administration for its course upon Kansas. 1t
says:
"What is the practical difference between
the Royal Prerogative' claimed by the weak
and tyrannical Stuarts. and the Executive in
Auence 90 impudently Haunted in our faces by
! the advocates of the fraudulent Constitution OF
the Lecomptonites The only difference is,
that this Executive influence is viler in its
nature, more demoralizing, and more potent,
than the Royal Prerogative' which lives in
the execratior of free men. We have been told,
day by day, by the servants and the seekers OF
the Government pelf, that some ten millions Of
dollars of patronage are to be employed in
buying the votes or the absence of sufficient
number of the representatives of the people, to
secure the passage of an act deadly to the in
terests of the country and to the fundamental
principles of our institutions"
The Hon. T. S. Anderson is an American
member of Congress from Missouri. he goes
with the Administration in Kansas matters, and
is loudly condemned by his constituents for his
conduct. Nearly all the Missouri American
prints are out upon him. The Lagrange amer
ican, published in the honorable members
district, says:
eve know not of single American in this
district that endorses or approves of the LIE.
compton swindle. If there are any, we desire
them to make themselves known through our
columns-they are open to them for the dis
cussion of the question. As for ourself we are
ready to discuss the question in all its bear
ings.
Mr.. Anderson has not been authorized to
speak for the American party in this State, and
commit it in favor of tyrannical Locofoco
Administration. We disclaim anything of the
kind, and ask it as a favor of the Washington
american, that it will copy this article entire,
and set the American party of Missouri right
before the country, on this question"
The Hon. Mr.. Lovejoy. of Illinois, delivered
an able AntiSlavery speech in the House, last
week. He was listened to with much atten-
ton, not only by Republicans, but by the
Southern members of the House.

used to force from Mr.. Fee pledge never to

POST OFFICE ROBBERY,


The case of the young man, who was arrested
in this city a few weeks for the robbery of let.
ters in the City Post Office, in which he was
employed as clerk, is quite suggestive.
He belongs, it is said, to highly-respectable
family in Virginia, where, we suppose, be might
have lived creditably to himself and his parents,
had he been trained to q respectable trade or
profession. His clerkship here exposed him to
seductive associations; he became frequenter
OF the gambling bells upon the Avenue, a gen
tleman of fashion and extravaganza. Such
life required more money than he could earn
but money he must have. Piles of letters Law
before him, and he had learned to distinguish
those of value. He laid hands from time to
time on such as he pleased, purloined the con-
tents, and, after be had ventured 30 far as be
thought prudent, resigned, trusting that he had
escaped all danger of detection. But, the Dur.
suers were on his track-he was suddenly ar.
rested, the crime was fastened upon him, and
he confessed his guilt.
What followedP He was held to bail in the
sum of $4,000, and is now at large. Nobody
supposes thnt he will ever appear for trial. His
bail will be forfeited in all probability, and we
doubt whether any vigorous measures will be
taken to collect the money on his bail bond.
Meantime, the robbery goes unpunished-and
those who have been robbed must make up
thier minds to no redress. The Government in
its administration of the Post Office, is practi.
cally lenient to rogues, and reckless of the in.
terests of honest men. Our own loss by this
robbery We have already ascertained to be over
four hundred dollars, but, should the $4,000
amount of bail forfeited, be collected, we shall
not be whit better off nobody who has lost
by the robbery will receive cent of it. The
whole amount, We suppose, will 60 to the Gov.
eminent. The Government lets the criminal
of, makes money BY the operation, and the only
loser is the citizen who has trusted his interests
to its keeping. During our career a. an editor,
We have lost, by post Office robberies, that is,
through the criminslity of persons employed by
the Federal Government, some thousands oil
dollars; in many cases, the robbers have been
detected, sometimes let off on bail, sometimes
committed and incarcerated, but in no case have
we been go fortunate as to receive single dol.
Lar. Our experience is but that of other psb.
fishers and business men. How wisely and
bsne6cently the Law provides for the protection
of the citizensl

TUESDAY IN CONGRESS.

In the Senate, the resolutions of the Legisls-
ture of Tennessee, instructing Senator Bell to
vote for the Lecompton Constitution, we're pre-
an eloquent speech in defence of his course in
the Senate. His colleague, Senator johnson,
replied to him at some length. Mr.. Bell claim
ed 10 know as much of the sentiments of the
People of his State, as did the men who passed
the resolution instructing him how to vote, and
he announced his purpose to disregard those
instructions. 1t was a bold and spirited speech.
In the House, the consideration of Mr.. Hoard's
resolution was postponed till Wednesday, and
the Indian appropriation bill was taken up, the
House resolving itself into the Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union. Mr.. Morris,
of Illinois, an ntiLecompton Democrat, made
an excellent speech against the Lecompton
movement, and exposed its eminently disastrous
consequences to the Democratic party.

THE ERA FOUR MONTHS FOB FIFTY CENTS
We have not heretofore encouraged subscrip.
tions to the Era for less than q year, but the
state of political affairs which for the next few
months promises to be of peculiar interest to
every friend of Freedom, and the hope Of
greatly enlsrging the Era's circle of readers
tina. the people may be prepared to vote under
standiDgly at the approaching fall elections, fol
the men who are to repre- sent them in the mex
Congress, induce us to offer the Era on the
following terms:
Ten copies for four months, beginning March
Isl, .fre dollars in Advance.
This will afford an opportunity to our friend'
to give the Era wide circulation, and alst
enable those subscribers who have been com
PEELED to discontinue their subscriptions OF
account of the "hard times," to continue at 1
small advance of money.
We accompany this offer with the expression
of our earnest hope that, where it is practica
bic, subscriptions will be sent in for year.
PERSONAL CoNrRovERsIEs.-Durin thu
week, the letter-writers have been able to en-
liven their correspondence with accounts of sew
eral personal controversies.
Mr.. Cullom, Clerk of the last House, and Mr.
Clay, member of the present, had some words
at Browns Hotel, came to blows, exchanged
cards, met at Bladensburg, shot at each other
once, and, Mr.. Cullon being wounded severely
in the arm, both we're satisfied. Both they
and their seconds have committed q peniten-
tiary offence, according to the laws of the Dis
tri.t. So runs the report We do not vouch
for it.
Col. Sumner, feeling himself aggrieved BY
something that had transpired in his intercourse
with General Harvey, sent him challenge. 1t
is stated that the General declined on account
of considerations connected with his rank, and
laid the correspondence before the War Depart.
ment. Both have since left the city, but one,
it is said, has gone to the North, the other, to
the South.
Lieutenant Rhind, of the navy, challenged
Commodore Boutwell,, and, receiving refusal,
posted him as coward whereupon he was
arrested, and held to bail to keep the peace.
Lieutenants Williams and Bell had fight
at Wizards, were separated; challenge
passed, and was not accepted further We know
not.
Beside these interesting events, there have
been several pugilistic exhibitions.
One might suppose that the President, in the
present belligerent state of things, might have
the Mormon rebellion suppressed by contract.
BE would find any number of bidders.
