city to prevent citizens from destroy
ing the property owned Ivy officers
and detectives engaged in making the |
arrest. Everybody here, without res.
pect to party, denounccs the arrest in
unqualified terms.
The great camp meeting at Paola,
yesterday heard of the arrest. just as
the meeting was about To adjourn, and
passed the following resolutions unani- |
mously:
Whereas, Col D. r. Anthony, May
or of Lcavenwortts has been brutally
placed under arrest by the masked |
miscreants of Ewing, and carried
away from his friends and out of the
city, as a convicted criminal, and
dragged to the gallows. Therefore.
Resoired, That this act of tyranny
is only Legitimate manifestation of
the policy which has protected rebels
in Missouri, permitted the massacre
of Lawrence, ordered the citizens of
Kansas not to kill bushwhackers, and
which at last has seized as criminal,
one OF the truest loyaiists on the soil
OF Kansas /; an act unparalleled in
in atrocity, and the last of the series
of usurpations which loyal men will
endure.
The camp meeting at Paola, yester-
day, terminated in a grand revival of
the religious feeling so sacreldy held
by Kansas against the rebels. The
meeting was organized by the APP
pointment of Lieut.. Gov. L. A. Osborn
as Chairman and ten Vice Presidents
ID. w. Wilder, of the Conservative.
assisted by four others, acted as Sec
rotary. The crowd in attendance
numbered over $500 armed men, hun
dreds having been prevented from
coming by Schofield's order, the rain,
and other unforeseen circumstances.
Gov. Osborn introduced Gen. Jim
Lane, who spoke in the open air for
over three hours, the rain pouring
down necessarily. He was very bit
ter on Schofield and Gamble.
The excitement which pervaded all
Kansas at the time of the Lawrence
massacre has subsidized, and in its place
has become a determination, terribly
earnest, to avcnge that fearful act
There seems to he no sort of confidence
in, or respect for, Schofeld or Ewing
They are jeered at.
A few days ago General Lane and
A. G. Wilder sent telegram to the
President, saying the incompetency
aud imbecility of Schofie,d are deplora-
BILE, aud unless there is an immediate
change in commanders, there is dan
ger of "a conflict between the people
and the military.
The reply of Mr.. Lincoln did not
vndicate his policy. The prediction
seems to have been well founded that
Schofeld's Order No 90, has only in-
tensitied the popular feeling. 1t is
now said that he is neither willing To
kill bushwhackers himself, or to allow
the people to do SO.
The meeting at Paola. tomorrow.
will probably, be the largest ever
held in this State. Parties are going
in wagons, with arms and rations,
from all parts of the State. They will
not 60 into Missouri if the military
show any disposition to drive the reb-
els from the infected district.
Qnantrel is on the Sinabar, about
thirty miles from Kansas City, with
largely increased force. The 100000
| in cash taken out of Lawrence has
given him glory and recruits, and his
numbers have swollen from 200 to
1900. Schoield has sent regiment
after the radicals at Paola, but no
force after the bushwhackers of Guam
trel.
In Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Ola.
the, Paola and Ossawatamie, the citi-
zens are under arms, and all these
towns are nightly guarded by citizen
patrols. The military are no longer
relied upon in Leavenworth to enforce
the order establishing martial law.
They do not do guard duty, and the
town is watched by citizens.
At large German meeting held
here sterday, Sunday Mayor An
thony stated that if Schoficld called
out the militia to put down Kansas
men, no citizens should go from Leav-
enworth to aid him in that unholy cru.
SADIE. The announcement was recciv-
ed with the widest excitement.
Hon. Thomas Osborn, Lieut.. Cover
nor, will probably preside at the Paola
meeting. A platform of the most radi-
cal character will be adopted, the re-
moval of Schofield and Ewing demand
ed, department for Kansas asked for,
common cause made with the emanci-
pationists OF Missouri, and committee
appointed to go to Washington with
the Missouri committee. II will proba-
bly, consist of the entire Congressional
delegation, all the State officers ex.
cept Governor Carney and such
prominent citizens as A. j. Parrot, d.
< Anthony and George A. Crawford
The people of Kansas will not rest
until Schofeld is removed and man
is placed in command who, instead of
being praised by one faction and con
demned by the other, will receive the
applause of all loyal men and the ha-
tired Of rebels, a higher ambition than
which no officer desires.
