A etar-chamlcr cdict Eas cent abroad q
few days ago, to the effect that the President
and Cabinet had had Kansas affairs under re-
'iew aGuin, and had dispatched orders to
Governor Medary, OF the Marshal Of the Ter
rltory, to hare Montgomery and BroHn .
summarI'y dealt with. The fact Of this thing
being more easily said than done, will Earc
Gov. Mcdary the responsibility Of pcrpctrat-
ing anything raEh. Doubtless the aeauain-
taacc he has been enabled to form with The
people Of that Territory, will also impart
caution 10 his movements, and induce him TO
keep within The clear warrant Ct tl:c fucts
bearing on the late dflculiies at Fort Scott.
Medary is polIticiau-unscrupulous as need
be-but his footsteps in the Charrel 11ou:c Of
Governors, will probably be directed 10 the
end Of keeping saumedary" out OF lot
