INCIDENTS OF THE WAR.-An English lady.
resident on the Lake Maggiore, received the
visl: Of detachment Of Ausrlans. She
holsted the british flag over her house, and
courageOusly warned them not to enter.
They sulkily obeyed, but, in pure wanton-
ness, and Notwithstanding that money was
offered them 10 desist, they cut down a much
cherished plantation Of fine orange trees, the
prime ornament of the grounds. They wanted
wood, they said. Wood was offered them in
abundance, of kind better suited to their
purpose, but the Vandals persisted. and our

KANSAS AFFAIRS.

A legal investigation at Leavenworth. has
disclosed an old-fashioned Klckapoo or Oxford
swindle at the recent election of delegates to
the Constitutional Convention, and Leaven-
worth jail is occupied by some fifty good
Democrats, >" who have been arrested and IN
dicted for fraudulent voting. 1t is comb
IDENTIFY expected that full fire hundred bogus
names will BE- found on the poll books OF
Leaycnworth county alone, and 1t Is prooa-
tie that scores Of fraudulent Democratic
votes were cast in all the river counties,
which fully accounts for the apparent Sue
cess Of the sham Democracy in that region.
The cheating, however was IN vain. The
total result was Republican victory. The
number Of members in the Constitutional
Convention is 50; and Of these %, or a ma
ioritv Of six. are ascertained to be republi-
cans. Twenty are Democrats, ana
three delegates remained undecided.
This asres the formation Of State Govern
ment, under which Kansas will probably be
admitted into the Union next winter, moi
only Zee State, but in the hands Of those
who are earnest for free States every where.
Another and more interesting contest viii
be in the election Of Governor, Member OF
Congress and Legislature under tb Constl-
tuition which this Convention sb.i form.
This Will probably occur in the fall, and viii
carry with it the political cblreter OF the
two [. S. Senators Of the new state.
We look forward to it, however without
apprehension, for the Chicago Ir51me is
probably not far from right in its statement
that % if each democratic voter is confined to
casting one democratic vote on election day,
there is not a County in Kansas which this
party can carry"

extensive legal requirements, their sound
judgment, their laborious attendance to duty,

and yet courteous and pleasing manners
The expectations of their most sanguine
friends have been realized.
The other members of the Bench are too
well known to need comment. IL is no dis
paragement to any, the dead or living to say
that our Judiciary, both collectively and indi
vidually, has never been more able and eff
cient than at the present time, commanding

and useful public servants has been raised to

have met with general approval Being al
most constantly away from home, the expen-

while their private business must suffer for
the want Of personal supervision. The peo-
pie of Vermont are wealthy, and he mistakes
