expect any sane man to leave such a9.organ-
izatien and association, to scek the7ead of
those who have violated their pledges to
patriots and piitriotic principles, and who
aim to make the sublime re iHlfs OF the war
redoand to the glory of treason aud the
profit Of traitors

BS8A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writing from Washington gives the
following as the cause of the suicide. of
Senator Lane:
Jim Lane died of Andy johnson He
went from here to Kansas, impressed with
the delusion that his support Of the Presi-
dent was so acceptable to the people Of that
State, that he could carry it for johnson S
policy BY 5000 majority His first appear
ance upon the streets Of Lawrence shocked
him with a sense of his terrible error. In
the town where he had once walked a mon
arch, no man spoke to him Old friends
passed him without recognition on the side
walk. On horseback in the principal street
he rode unrecognized and rejected He
went to his house and sent for many of his
old friends to come and see him. They re-
turned answer that they wished to have no
intercourse with HIM Two days after his
arrival, Representative Clark came from
Washington What a contrast and what a
lesson a vast crowd met and welcomed
him with music and flags. A public meet
ing appauded his votes honored him for
his fidelity and pledged to him the love and
support of Kansas. Inundated smitten
with remorse and utterly desperate, Lane
formulated at once his life and career in
Jo!ensen politics. =
