UNITED STATES SENAToR.-The Legis-

the 18th inst. for the election Of United

Hlwh Ola ae(x-xinx On.

Some of the papers are complaining
bitterly at the mnnner in which Lane
and bis men have besn running tbs ma-
chine at Topsks. He was there himself.
with all mis- retainers. strikers. purse
bearers and clsquers. civil and military.
from all parts Of the State. Gen. Davis.
Commander at the Fort. also went over
with bis military band: and it was man
aged to have body of troops there at
the same time. ALI th,se arrangements
were regarded as intended to ovsrawe
aH opposition to Lane. Then. caucus
of Lane men resolved not to countenanee
any man for office. who opposed the
Lane State Ticket; and in the Legisla-
ture, the majority are running things
wild.
All this is prsbably true. and is un-
pleasant enough; but it is just what we
expected, and therefore we are not q
bit surprised. When sny party has such
sn overwhelming majority, it runs things
to extremes, but reaction ia sure to
follow. Tbs truth is. the Opposite party,
last Winter, ran things in the same man.
ner. Measures were resolved upon IN
caucus. and rushed through by party
votes, with but little regard for right OF
wrong-and many Of the measures were
such as they ought to have been ashamed
of at the time. The reaction was bound
to come, as might have been known. It
has come, and the majority is reversed
They will probably rush things head.
long to their notion. 1t may be. since
they have accomplished their main OBJ
ject, that they will simmer down to rea-
son and good-nsture. II not, they, too,
will pave the way for reaction.
One opinion is. now that both parties
have had a turn at the game. that they
had better conclude a treaty of amnesty
and peace. and run together in the old
channel. The division was wholly on
Lane. His place is secure tor six years
to come. end all the lighting possible will
not make it any more or less secure
There is no longer any pretext for d.
vision. The result, SO far, has been. to
aatten out certain prominent Republicans
and to boost some Lsavenworth Demo
cats into fat Offices.

GUTHRIE: AGAIN IN THE RlNa.-Our
late estesmed Attorney General, Warren
w. Guthrie. related by marriage to the
State Of Missouri. appears to be- bigger
fool than Thompson's colt. He car
never resist an opportunity to make sn
exhibition of himself-little matter to
him which end be exhibits. Last week,
the Lane party, collected from all
over the State. held an indignation meet
ing. to denounce the sction of portion
of tbs Board of State Csnvassers, in re-
fusiug to count the soldier vote. An
indign ,tion meeting is an Institution
which should be permitted to have its
own uninterrupted way. No opponent
of its object should interfere. mush less

tempt to buck against it. But Guthrie
was on hand, with an armful of docu-
ments, confident Of his ability to smash
the whole arrangement. The meeting
encouraged him. got him on the stand,
and then pitched into him most unmer-
cifully. taking the starch out of him
completely. He has not whimpered since.

PRo. MAJ. GENARAL's OFFICE,
WAsHISeTon, D. c.. Jan. 3, 1866.
Hon. S. C. Pomeroy, U. s. Senator:
SIR:-I an directed BY ths Provost Marshal
General to acknowledge the receipt Of your
communication Of the % iDst.. and to state in
reply. that in determining the quotas for the
call of December 18th, on our basis as it stood
November 30th, 1864, tie State Of AansGs 10
found to ss0e no troops.
am. sir, very respectfully,
Your oHt servant,
Gro. E. Scorr,
Capt. lst Reserve Corps.
Governor. Crawford also. in his Mes
sage. states that Kansas is several thous-
and ahead on all calls. As he can CON.
mand the cooperation of our Con-
gressional delegation. he will probably
be able to have Justice done our State,
without encountering any Of the OBJ
stacles thrown in the way of Governor
Carney.
On the other hand, Provost Marshal
General Fry, the head of the enlisting
and recruiting Department. has issued
the following circufsr to all Provost
Marshals -

PRo. Man. GkaERAL's OFFIcE,
WAsHINcroN, D. c.. January 2, 1865.
Circular No. 4.
The attention Of Acting Assistant Provost
Marshals General of States, and of Boards OF
Enrolment, is called to the fact, that the quo
tas assigned under the call of December 18th,
1864, for 300 600 men, wust not be reduced er.
eept 6y actual enlisiments in the Army, Navy,
and Marine Corps, since the l9h slfinso:
,-ts1' JAS. B. Far.
a'' Provost Marshal General.
1t appears, from the above. that nc
credits will be allowed. except for enlist
ments since the call was made. Bat as
this officer Fry is chiefly distinguished
for incompetence, and for issuing o
multitude Of orders upon every subject,
each ono contradicting all the rest, no,
much reliance is to be placed in the
above. He will probably soon issus' sn
order contradicting it. and soon after
another contradicting both. The truth
is, the exact condition of Kansas, in
this matter, is not yet known. Proba.
bly, we shall know by the time the draft
commences. In the meantime. no effor,
should be spared to encourage enlist.
ments. and thus put Kansas on the safe
side beyond q persdventure.

@ Old Blair has got back from
Richmond. He went after some private
papars that the rebels stole from his
house. in their Washington raid. last
July. The peace part of his mission
was all bosh-he did not dip into peace
matters. So latereports say. But Horace
Greeley contends that Blair was on a
mission concerning which the public gos-
sips do not know as much as they sup
pose.

SCENE to be getting rather the better Of
Price, in tho matter of the contast for .
seat in the State Senate. Lane was sd-
mittsd. and Price applied to the Supreme
Court for Q writ of mandamus to COM
pei SecEstary Lawrence to give him .
certificate of election, inssmuch as be was
elected by the home vote. The Court
decided in his favor. thus virtually de-
claring the soldier vote illegal. and he
obtained the certificate. Still the Senate
has the right to judge Of the qualification
and election Of its own members. and we
are of the opinion that Lane will retain
bis seat, and Price be sent adrift.-
While we would wish it to be otherwise.
we cannot forget one little circumstance.
Last Fall, Price and his friends insisted
and dsclsred thst must be q candidate
at all hazards, from the fact that. having
been . soldier. he could carry the entire
soldier vote. which no other probable can
didate could do. Yet that very soldier
vote is what Aoored him; snd he is ap-
psaling to the Court to throw opt vote
upon which be relied for his success.
It strikes us. If it were our case, under
the peculiar circumstances. we'd tnske .

GOV. CRAwF0RD's MESSAGE.

Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives ofhe State of Kansas:
The Constitution Of the State m akes it
the duty ofthe Governor. at the commence
ment Of each term of the Legislature. to
communicate. in writing. snch inform
alton as be may possess in reference to the
condition Of the Stste. ani recommend
such measures ss hs may deem expedient
In compliance with this requirement aud
in accordance with established usage,
herewith transmit TO you such inform alton
as have, together with such recommend
alton as in my Judgment the interests Of
the State require.
During tie past season our citizens
have been blessed with health and unusu-
al prosperity. Although the productions
of the soil have been less abundant than
in former years. yet they have beea
sufficient to meet our wants and amply
reward the husbandman for his labor.
The repeated efforts Of the enemy to in
wade the State and desolate our homes.
under the blessing of the God of Provi-
dence. and through the skill and energy Of
our military commanders, with theirIe-
spective commands.) and the eternal
vigilance and patriotism of our militia.
who always so nobly responded to the
call to arms, have been thwarted and
successfully svertsd. For this deliver.
ance we should offer our deepest feelings
of gratitude to Almighty God.
The re election Of Abraham Lincoln is
the peoples declaration that the war is
not failure. but that it shall be vigor-
ously prosecuted until the last vestige Of
American Slavery is extirpsted-dstil
every traitor lays down his arms and
bows in allegiance to our flag and sub
mission to the laws of our Government.
1t is our duty, and not ours only, bnt
the dnty ofevery loyal man in the nation.
to support the Federal Administration.
and afford every facility for vigorous and
successful prosecution of the war to Q
speedy termination.
Kansas will do her whole duty. Her
soldiers have made for. themselves repu.
tation which for patriotism, discipline.
aud patent endurance stands second to that
of no other State; and her citizens have
esteemed no cost or sacrifice too great to
beat back the waves of frebellion and pro-
tect the nations life. -r o..
