THE MORMONS IN KANSAS.

The reader of the message of Acting Governor
Denver to the territorial Legislature of Kansas will
have observed paragraph relating to the existence
of most extraordinary organization in that Terri
tory, similar to that of the Danites in Utah He
alleges that the members bound by the most SOL
emn oaths and obligations to resist the laws take the
lives of their fellowctizens commit any other act
of violence that may be directed by their leaders
and to the existence of this band he attributes
tain assassnations that have been recently perpe-
trated in the Territory. Rumors to the same pur-
port have also found their way into the newspapers,
implying completely between the dsturbers of the
Louis paper of late date mentions the fact mat
ter of news that ''Lane was still employed with his
Danites in driving citizens out of the Territory
Similar rumors have also reached us alleging that
a man by the name of Hdridge, the accredited fnan-
cial agent for the Emgrant Aid Society in Kansas is
a Mormon. This fact is believed to be susceptible
of proof. If it be established, it will show concu
sivey connexion between the movements in Kansas
and in Utah. II Young, through his mnions in
Kansas, had been able to embro the people of that
Territory in civil with the general government
he would nave aVertcu the hangers hanging over nlS
own head Perhaps the necessity for retaining the
Utah expedition in Kansas during the past summer
may have been created by his agents and as con-
sequence he thus enabled to maintain his power
at Great Salt Lake City year longer.
One curious fact has been ascertaned in this con-
nexion. Last summer Brigham Young forwarded
an express direct from Utah with extraordinary
despatch, through Kansas to Boston. Was this to
communicate with the Aid Society? 1t is believed,
Also that the bogus telegraphic dispatches
corning the condition and progress of the military
expedition against Utah. which generally reach here
two or three days in advance of the more reliable in
formation, are furnished by this Mormon agent in
Kansas 1t is remarkable circumstance that an ac-
count stating the slaughter of hundred and eigh
ty men of the Utah expedition by the Mormons
should have reached this city almost simultaneously
by way Of Oregon and through st. Louis The for
mer was known to be derived from the Mormons
themselves, through the Oregon Indians the latter
must have come from the source The resem-
blance between Lanes gang and the Mormon Da-
mites is striking, indeed Can it be that the black
republican leaders at the North and in Congress
have been used by Brigham Young to protect tho
treason of the Mormons and that, in endeavoring to
keep alive tho slavery agitation in Kansas they
unwittingy subscribing his purposesf

THE LATE SENATOR RUsK.

The proceedings in both houses Of Congress on
yesterday were of an unusually solemn aud impress
siye character. General Houston in the Senate
death Of their late colleague Senator Rusk The
euogies pronounced upon the deceased were as elo-
quent in feeling as in words, and did no less credit
to the heads and hearts of those who delivered them
than to the manly virtues, genuine worth, great
craftsmanship, and exalted patriotism of him upon
whom they We're pronounced General Iiusk was
truly remarkable man, one of the most remarkable
perhaps that this country has ever produced. He
possessed of all those high qualities that are
inseparable from true greatness strong compre-
hensive intellect, an iron viii and heart pure
and guileless that of a child. During the period
of his life he jurist, statesman and soldier, and
in each alike efficient and alike pre-eminent Ia
politics he democrat of the snictest school /;
and while he adhered with unwavering devotion to
the cardinal doctrines of his party his public acts
bear the strongest marks of the most liberal and
lghtened craftsmanship. He enjoyed to the fullest
extent, the respect and confidence of his political
friends in every section OF the Union His personal
popularity however, not of partisan character
for few if any, of public had so large place
in the affections of his political opponents. The uni
versal feeling of sorrow and regret with which the
nouncemcnt of his death received in all parts Of
the country is the best evidence that such the
case and the readiness with which his political OPP
ponents in Congress united with his friends in pay
ing tribute TO his memory shows that throughout all
the political strfes and sectional struggles through
which they and he had passed, he still retained in
undiminshed degree their love, respect, and es-
TEEN. Some of the euloges pronounced were most
eloquent, and we hope to be able to lay them
before our readers.

FROM tllt -. IDui
THE KANSAS IMBROGLIO.

There is light in Kansas. Whatever may have been
the result of the recent election under the Lecompon
constitution in Kansas the election the 4th Janua-
ry placed beyond all question that majority Of the
citizens of Kansas have recognised that constitution by
their votes and that those who may have been elected
will be entitled to fill the offices during the constitu
tonal term 1t is admitted that illegal, at least
Irregular election held at the tme for or
against the constitution adopted at Lecompton but
that was sort of Independent thing matter in which
only side took any parthe only true test of the
popular sentiment that which is to settle the whole
question to be found in the election for State officers
There the people voted directly upon two tickets present
ed them and the returns sufficient in opinion
to show that majority of the people voted way
the other and whichever candidates received the MAORI
ty of votes have right to and will fill the several Offices
under tho State government Here then, is full, com
plete and satisfactory acknowledgment of the LecomP
constitution. 1t will not do for the Lanes the Rob
insons the Rcdpaths and the other mischief makers in
the State forward and say that they did
vote in this election 1t is enough to know that major
ity the people voted and what is better that of
officers have elected who have nurscd treason
in their hearts continually, the persons to whom
have referred by name have done
Without knowing how the vote may have gone, we
say that this vote relieves Congress and the country from
oil difficulty in the recognition of the Lecompton consti
tuition II, in consequence of the refusal of the black
republicans vote at the election for members of the
vention which formed that constitution after the
constitution formed, they refused to vote the
slavery clause and suffered it to be adopted on the
4th of the present month"; they refused to to the polls
and vote for either of the tickets for State ofcerst has
still turned out that majority of the people voted under
this oonio and full set of State officers and members
of the legislature have been elected say that they
estopped now and forever from making any opposition
whatever this constitution and that it the duty
Congress- the constitution in other respects being
publican - to admit Kansas into the Union II political
percenares and knavcs have overreached themselves
that is their look out the country wants repose and
lief from this question: and the opportunity is pro-
sented TO obtain it, and Congress should adopt it, This
election in opinion, relieves the question of all
barassment If in the deliberations of the Legislature
II should be found that the slavery clause not
nant with the wishes OF majority of the people, that
legislature originate plan by which Kansas may be
made free State, and this may be accomplished ut the
time that the right of property in the limited mum
Der of slaves in that State is recognised and pro
tected.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

never before III so snort Une during session OIL
Congress- nor indeed during any one entire session
that we remember, have many special investi-
eating committees been appointed have been du-
ring the present session in the House of Represent
atives. Within the short space of weeks that
body has found it necessary to raise three separate
and distinct special committees for the purpose of
investigating charges of fraud and corruption involv-
ing the reputation either of members or officials of
the last House of Representatives.
First. We have committee to examine into the
accounts and conduct of Mr. Cuom Clerk of the last
House.
Second. committee to examine into the charges
made against members and officers of the last House.
growing out of the expenditure of S87 900 by Law
renee, Stone Co., (of the MiddIesex Manufacturing
Company of Massachusetts, with view to effect the
passage of the modified tariff bill
Third. committee to examine into the accounts
and conduct of the late Doorkeeper of the House,
Capt. Darling.
All these committees, az we have said, have been
raised for the purpose of investigating charges affect
ing the characters either of members of the last House
or of some of its officers In that body as is well
known, the black-republican party had very de-
cded majority The frauds and cerruptons practised
upon the governments said to have been unparael-
ed in number and extent and it is to investigate these
frauds that the committees of the present session have
been raised. tits hoped that they will probe them to
the bottom, and spare neither time labor in expos
ing their authors to the House and the country Such
exposition is not only due to the character and
dignity of the representatives of the American peo-
pie but it is absolutely necessary to the safety and
protection of the government Frauds and corrup-
tons have been practised before, but it seems to
have been reserved to the republican party of the
last House to carry them to extent that almost
amounted to system, and that led, even in that
body to the expulsion of some its members, while
in the present House it has demanded, as we have
said the organization of three special committees of
investigation. For the honor of the country we
hope that the charges will prove to have been ey-
aggerated though the general belief prevails that
many of them but too well founded.
