As II Is.

From various sources VIC compile 4
condensed accou mt of recent events in
Kansas, showing the present position of
affairs in that Territory, and the politi-
cal condition of the Territory be super
seeded by a State organization. 1t is OBJ
vfous, from these accounts, that it is the
object and interest of certain persons in
Kansas to keep up the excitement con
corning it as long as possible and the
territorial legislature aided in this work
without bringing on a direct conflict be-
tween the authority of the Territory and
of the United States, 1t carefully
avoided doing anything likely to bring
on a direct issue. Thus, the bill ma
king it death to accept or perform the
functions of an Office under the State
government vas put through all the
forms of legislation, and actually passed
both branches of the Legislature; but a
reconsideration was Immediately moved
in the Senate, and the bill was finally de-
feated by a decided vote. Thus we have
assurances from the free-State legislature
that in the assumed opposition to the
Lecompton constitution, it is not o n
templated to do more than make a show
of resistance. The free-State men of
Kansas iptcnd to accept the State CON
stitution-und,r protest. perhaPs-but
still, to accept it.
We clip the following pregnant para
graph from the Lcavenworth Daily Ledg-
or of the 18th instant, which came to
hand last evening:
Let the Lecomrton constitution pass,
and let the representatives elected be
called together and elect the two United
States senators, and the fgony is all ORR.
True, there may be a fiction in the free
State party. who will not be successful,
and may cndcavor to keep up this in
formal niger agitation, from the fact
that they have been ruled o0t' from a
participation in the spoils; but that's
nothing; they can be. easily choked off
and made to bite the dust BY e
WILL OF THE PEOPLE. 'Demagogues'
and fanatics of both parties are no long
err in the hearts and affections of the
people. and their frantings and 'roarings'
will avail nothing. The people are
sick, tired, and disguised with them, and
will listen To their madness no moro
We want peace, for that brings us hap

pa-The Washington correspondent

of the Boston Post says:
The talk about removing the army
from Kansas before her admission as a
State is perfectly futile, because in the
present condition of things there's as
much danger of rapine, murder and de-
struction Of property, from the branch
Of Mormon Danites, headed by Jim Lane,
in Kansas, as from those headed by
Brigham Young, at Salt Lake. The
two leaders are no doubtin concert, and
the moment the troops should leave Kan
sas for Utah, Lanes Danites would un-
q~uestionably begin a civil war there,
which would be far worse in it's effects
than anything that would happen at
Salt Lake.

WHY WILL YOU DELA1.

Why will you neglect that disease which is
taking such deep root, and which gives you
warning by that hacking cough, that you are
fast rfpening for eternity Why encourage
that pail in the side, the raising of blood, those
night sweats, or that difficult breathing. which
silently whisper in your ear that something
must be done to save you from the grave of con-
sumptive Why act so carelessly by permitting
that disease to destroy your health, and hasten
Won to the tomb from whence no traveller ever
vet returned?
SILENCE THAT CoUGH!
Our death must carry you to your silent grave.
Why delay while there is yet hope Consump-
tion is caused by impure humors of the blood be-
ing deposited in the cells of the lungs. Hence,
the lungs are like a spring of water, when rolled
up by the dirt or mad. if clear water constantly
flows through the springs, impurities or mud will
be conveyed a way By the pure water. Just 50
with the blood when kept in a clean or pure
state as it constantly flows through the lungs,
it carries away ali corrupt matter, and perfect
health viii be regular, will in a req sontb bic time
cure consumption. The reason these pills arc
used more than all others, is because they are
made of purifying vegetables. and cleans the
body from all corrupt matter, and drive cut
disease of every description, quicker and in
a milder way than any other Pills.

Double Murder,

GOSHEN, Orange Co., N. Y, Aug. IA
Last night, at about half-past nine o'clock,
our village was alarmed by the intelligence
that double murder had been committed
at the house of Charles Reeves, in Hamp-
tonburg, about two miles from here, on the
Newburg road. Some twenty of our citizens
Immediately repaired to the scene, where
they learned the following particulars.
Mr.. Reeves and his family were absent
from home, leaving their house in the charge
of their three servants, William Saunders,
Peter Shorech, and Margaret Shealy 1t
seems that Peter and Margaret were to be
married next week, and they had been pass
ing the evening together, in the room of
the latter. At about 8 o'clock, just as he
was leaving Margaret's room. Peter was
met at the door by William, who without a
word passing between either, shot him thro'
the right breast Peter turning back, OPEN
ed the door, through which he had just
passed and fell dead across the threshold.
The murderer, rushing into the room over
the dead body of his first victim, shot Mar
garet also through the breast, the ball pass
ing out behind, just below the shoulder
blade.-She turned, and jumping out of the
open window to the ground, some twenty
feet, managed to crawl through the garden
and orchard, nearly a quarter of mile, to
the house of Mr.. Case, who Immediately
gave the alarm The murderer has not yet
been arrested, but the whole country is a.
reused and searching for him. The woman
is still alive, but cannot survive but few
hours longer.

There is now in Rochester, Yew York, q
man aged one hundred and six years, whose
ancestry, together with his own progeny,
will exhibit one of the strangest mixtures of
races ever heard Of His name is John
Shenandoah OBrien, and he was born in
Boston, 1852. His father was an Irishman,
and his mother an Indian of the ONEIDA
.~ibe. When twelve years old he was sent
to + ,,~ancc, and there educated as physician
H roth, rned to America and served in the
reyolutiopsry war afterwards he went back
to France ana there married the daughter
had eight children; With hcr he lived H4 in the
United States for some time. lie then
married an American won,,an, descended
from the Teutonic line, and afttr her oea'h
married negress who was fifty yeas ycun-
ger than himself, and by whom he ha-' foIr
children. In his children are united me
blood of the Celts, the Teutons, the Afri-
can, and the North American Indian.
