KANSAS, enamOrod of strife and of a pug
nacious history, has now its own little
quarrel to fight over, in addition to what it
can do in the way of Jayhawkiug for the
Union. Two Governors are conteuding for
dominion in the new State. Charles Rob
inson, the present incumbent of the office,
contends that he is entitled to hold the
reigns of power another year, notwith
standing the people have elected another
man, under the conviction that Robinson's
term expired with the close of 1861. But
even the lean pickings and the barren dig
mites OF the new State seem to be too
much for RObinson's virtues and he refuses
to vHeatc the place. Mr.. Crawford, the
Governor elect, proposes that the claims of
the contestants be referred to the Supreme
Court of the State for settlement, promis-
ing to yield to the decision of the Court
But Robinson has contempt for Supreme
Courts and no great opinion of law itself.
and accordingly refuses the fair Offer
Meanwhile, the people of Kansas are in a
strait betwixt the two masters who claim
their allegiance, thoroughly satisfied that
one Governor is luxury suficient;for n new
State, and having no desire to increase
their establishment in these times of per-
plexity-

DARcY McGEE, the Irishmau who has
become intensely British in his sentiments
since he has got into the Canadian Parlia-
ment, and who lately predicted in pub
lished letter that the Irish in Canada would
be unanimous for the British in a quarrel
with the United States, has been roughly
undeceiyed- He had meeting of Irish
men called in Montreal last week. TO organ
izs an Irish battalion for the British sery-
ice, and made speech to them, during
which he found that there was large
amount OF the old Irish luminosity against
England still alive The chairman, Marcus
DoheTty, was frequently interrupted in his
preliminary speech, aud it was with great
difficulty that MeGee got chance to speak
ut all, SO great was the clamor and iudig-
nation that he should urge Irishmen to en-
list to fight against the United States. In
almost every instance he was in,er-unte4
with cheers for the United States. for
MeasheF, Tor Col. Corcorau, and for the
Irish regiments in the Federal armies
showing where the strong sympathics of
ms audience were. The Ioudest round of
cheers was for a brother of MCGEE. who is
captain in the Federal army. The chair
man declared the resolution to raise an
IRISH battalion carried, but it was doubted
and the meeting broke up in confusion.
