may be better known and understood, il is only
necessary to state this further fact, that &c appro
rriaton for the support q The Agrisnlssl Col
lege, the State University and the NSrmei School
all to he defeated upon the single ground
that friends Of those institutions opposed the
fraud ; the counties of Lyon and Wabaunsee and
Marshal are 10 be dismembered and their territory
attached to other counties and claims against
the State for services by persons not privy to the
fraud endorsers of it, are to be defeated, anaa
contracts of every kind with persons Who d5 not
sanction the fraud are to be -saaulls3, o. pay
ment refused and the obligations repudiated.
These are the means by which the contempti-
ble creatures who have seized the Legislatule,
hope and expect to force the people to ssnction
and sanctify their treason and their crime. The
poor wretches may persuade themselves that they
can, by such means, force the people to stultify
themselves, to say that is black which is white,
and that is fair which is foul, but if so, the past
history of Kansas is not her present and will not
be her future history. The past has shown that
the people Of Kansas know their rights, and at
all costs knowing dare maintain them. So it
will be in the future. No mistake about that
gentlemen swindlers and traitors. The honest
freedom loving people Of. Kansas can neither be
bought or driven. You ought to know that
Messrs. Conspirators. and you would know if you
could read the history of the State for the past
ten years. You will know it before you are
hanged, unless justice overtakes you suddenly.

We learn from the Leavenworth Con-
servativs that auothef disastrous FIRE took
piece in shas city on Friday, the 10Th inst.
1t broke out about Eve o'clock in the morn
ing, ond lasted ELL nearly seven, ssd lisss.
slly burned to ashes every store between
the corner of Third aud Delaware streets,
on the south side of Delaware, IS far east
as the store Of Henry eraser.
The buildings were wooden and Of tho
most unsubstaDtial character, and ii is real.
iy N sdsantsge to the city to have them
out of the way. 80
The locality, however, was one Of the
most popular in town for the retail trade,
the stocks of goods we're large. and ths loss
to their owners is most serious.
At one time third of the business por.
tioa Of the city was seriously threatened.
The cir sparkled with FIRE brandQDnd the
eager flames leaped across the street. The
wind, which had been quiet, began to in
crease, and every spectator trembled for tho
the safety of bis own house and his own
home.
The catastrophe was avcrted BY the kind.
ness Of the elements aud BY the xlmoss
su2erhuman efforts Of hard working men.
1t seemed almost impossible to do it, but
the work was done. and many man breath.
ed freer.

ANOTHER swlNDLE ON FOOT.

By private letter from Topeka We learn
that there is another sHindle on foot, which
has for its object the choosing of electors
of President and Vice President of the
United States, Iy the present Legislature,
and to prevent any election for that purpose
being held by the people of Kansas in No
tember next. There is no law Of Congress
declaring by whom the Electors Of the
States shall be chosen, whether by the peo-
pie or by the Legislatures, but in all the
Free States it has been the law that the
people should select. The only slave State
in Which they have, Of late gears, been
chosen by the Legislature is that Of South
Carolina. We have no law in Kansas on
the subject, but following the precedents Of
the Free States, the people here have been
Aattering themselves that they were to vote
directly for the electors; but Carney and
Wood tLiuk they could make better thing
by having the Electors chosen BY the Leg
islature. Infamous and damnable as such
fraud would be, it is not more Infamous
and dannable than The one which has Leen
attempted by them, in their effort to deprive
the people of a choice in the selection of .
Senator, and after that We are prepared te
hear of their attempting any crime known
in the calender Our correspondent says il
this thing can be carried through, the Sc
lection OF Electors will be with reference tt
the interests of Mr.. Chase, and that Senator
Pomeroy is very anxious that the electora
vote of Kansas should in some way be Sc
cured for Chase. Carney and Wood think
this the only way it can be done. We shoult
be loath to believe that either Mr. Chase o.
Mr.. Pomcroy we're privy to any such iufa
nous scheme, but We haye no doubt abou
the, readiness of our coDspirators to engag
in anything that will damage or wrong th'
people Of the State, for whose rights ant
interests they feel only contempt.
Gentlemen, you bad better not attemp
this last fraud. Hemp is very dear, ani
there are several of you.
