The Election.

Ifthe returns of the election foot up
at all the precincts, as they will at
some Of them in this county, Kanzas
will show herselfto be the M ostdense-
ly populated country in the world,
and so far from inviting emigration
in future, we must turn our attention
seriously to the solution Of the impor-
tant problem which puzzled China for
hundreds ofyears, as to how we shall
take care or dispose of surplus popu-
lation.
Another very important question
will also puzzle the medical faculty,
what senitory regulations they can de-
wise by which to avert the calamities
which hover over large cities, such for
instances as Kickapoo and Delaware,
for in climate so variable as this,
and ever so full of sickly political ele-
ments, we cannot divine how so many
people can live in so few houses.

Gle Harris" and his amiable and
Motherly wife? The Park Hotel was
the first building erected in Prairie

the spring and summer of '56, the
Park Hotel was the constant theatre
of excitement, and was once the cit
adel whore seven of our citizens for
tilted and sustained themselves victo-
iriouSly against 70 MissourianS. Du-
ring all these troublesome times, Mr..
and Mrs. HARRIS were foremost in en-
coulaging and relieving the distreSses
of our valorous and heroic defenders
of Freedom, and tho latch-string to
their door was Of free access to all
who shared in tho defense. 1t must
be readily seen that this occasionNd
a heavy drain on their financial re-
sources, and it will require a large
share of public patronage to repay
them for their magnanimity and gra-
tuitous hospitality. 1t is to be hoped
that travellers and Others having oc-
casion to obtain hotel accommoda-
tions in Prairie City, will consider
these facts, and give I" Uncle Harris

The Dispatching Of Henry KoontI

6C ths - f "o
Mn Christmas eve, Two strangers
applied for nights accommodations
at the house of HENRY KooNA, at
BLACK Jack, distant four miles from
this place, which application was re-
GOived with favor by Mr.. KooNTz.--
They told Mr. KooNTz chat they had
left friend with team across the
ravine, and desired his assistance to
enable them to get the team to his
house, and accordingly he acceded to
their request, after leaving orders
with Mrs. KooNTz to have supper
Immediately prepared for the stran-
gers. Mrs. KooYTz executed her or.
ders, and after waiting nearly three
quarters Of an hour for their return,
became alarmed and went >out IN
search of them, when sho found, q
few rods from the house, the body Of
Mr.. KooSTz lying cold in death,
outlet having penetrated entirely
through his head, entering at the nose
and emerging at the back side of his
mead, through the organ Of amative-
ness, killing him, it is presumed, in.
stantly. Who those men were, and
what motives induced them to perps-
trate this deed, is yet a matter efmys-
terry; but it is supposed to have been
done by the friends Of some Of
KooNrz's dead victims. KooNTz was
aprO-slavery man, of the deepest Bar
der Ruffian die, continually STIRRING up
strife and feeling among the people
of his neighborhood, and is known
to have caused, II not actually commit

President Of the Council and Mr.,
DErTzEER, Speaker Of the House of
Representatives,, Of the Territory of
Kanzas, ON the result of the vote OF
December q, fortke Leeompton Con-
stitution, on the result Of the election
of January 4th, under said Constitn-
tion, and on the result of the vote of
january 4th on the submission of the
Lecompton Constitution to vote Of
the people, We learn that on the 2lst
ult., there were 6, LAB votes purported
TO have been polled for "Constitu-
tion with Slavery" and $50 votes
Polled for "Constitution with no
Slavery" upon which the aforemen-
TONED gentlemen commented as fol.
lows:
"More than one-half of this major.
fty was cast at those very sparingly
settled precincts in the Territory, two
of them in the Shawnee Reserve, on
lands not open for settlement, viz:
Oxford, johnson County, 1,266
Shawnee, " '" 100
Kickapoo, Leavenworth Co., 1,Ol7
Total, S.Ol2
"From our personal knowledge Of
The settlements in and around tho
above places, we have no hesitation
in saying that the great bnlk of these
votes were fraudulent and taking
into view other palpable, but less i'm
portant frauds, we feel safe in saying
that of the whole vote polled. not ovel
1000 were legal votes, polled by citi-
zens Of the Territory"
At the election on the 4th inst, for
State officers, the Free State ticket
triumphedby majorities ranging from
SOl to SOL. PARRorT, for Congress,
received q majority of 696. For
House Of Representatives, 20 Free
State men were elected to 15 pro-
Slavery in the Senate, 13 Free State
men to 6 pro-Slavery. Concerning
this the same gentlemen remark -
"Thus it will be seen that we have
triumphed against most miserable
and wicked apportionment and an
election law designed to open the
door for frauds, and under which,
frauds the most manifest and unmis-
takeable, have been perpetratcd, to
the extent Of 5000 or 4, 900 votes.
"This triumph was accomplished
by party greatly distracted ON the
subject Of voting under u ConStitu-
tion that they hate, loathe and abhor,
TO the, centre of their hearts, that
failed to reach many Of the more dis
'tant districts. These causes, together,
lit is safe to say, reduced the Free
State vote to the extent Of 5000
votes" ...,5..
On the vote on the Constitution,
l0,226 votes were polled against the
instrument, 1913 for the Constitution
with SlSvcry, and "a for the Consti'
tuition without Slavery. Some few
precincts were yet to be heard from
when thisraport was made, (Jan. IA }
