The Kansan News.
We have not room for comment on the excit
ing news from Kansas, which we publish to
day ; and moreover prefer awaiting further
accounts. But if the facts he as represented,
and the Administration does not take very
prompt and efficient action in the matter, we
shall rejoice to hear the drum and life in the
streets of every Southern city. Up to this
hour the Houth lias had law and order on her
side. Government must show its appreciation
of that fact, and that immediately. If not,
the South should staunch her wounds with her
own hands, and shoulder arms in her own de
fence, which she is abundantly able and will
ing to do.
Prom Kansas.
The Augusta Constitutionalist of Tuesday
says: “We were pleased to have a visit last
evening, from gentlemen who are on a tempo
rary absence from their settlements in Kansas
—Major W. D. Wilkes, J. W. Stevens, and .1.
H. Swift. They are on route for South Caro
lina. These gentlemen were of the Sheriff's
posse, who entered Lawrence, and were pres
ent when the arrests were made, as well as at
the destruction of the free State Hotel, and
the incendiary printing offices in that town.
They represent the Hotel to have been a for
tified place, with port holes, &c., and that the
town was naturally fortified —that affairs in
Kansas are rather unsettled, and with but lit
tle apparent hope of quiet in that region, so
long as the mad schemes of the Black Repub
licans are unchecked.
The southern emigration is large this spring,
and parties continue to reach the Territory.
These gentlemen are all Carolinians, and
will return in a, short time to the exciting
scenes so vividly’ portrayed by Freo Soil jour
nals, among the “Border Ruffians” of the fron
tiers.

Message of Gov. Metcalf.
Gov. Metcalf who has just been rc-elccted
Governor of New Hampshire, sent in his Mes
sage to tho Legislature, last week. About one
third of it is devoted to national affairs, prin
cipally the slavery question. He denounces
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, the
Kansas outrages and the assault on Mr. Sum
ner; and attributes the uniform success of the
slave power to their perfect unanimity on the
subject of slavery; to their constant throats of
withdrawal from the Union and to the com*
pactness of their party ties, lie closes as fol
lows : “All the talk, all the threats, all the
movements designed or tending to a dissolu
tion are tho political stock in trade of South
ern politicians, with here and there a partner
at the North.”
Laws and Journals of Georgia.
We learn from the Milledgeville papers that
the printing and binding of the Laws and Jour
nals of the last session of the Legislature has
been completed, and that the contract for their
delivery throughout this State, will be closed
on the 24th inst. The Recorder says the Laws
are neatly printed and handsomely bound.
Wo believe the Laws and Journals of the
two previous sessions were printed aw ay from
Milledgeville, and were not ready for deliv
ery before about the close of the year.
A big ratification meeting is getting up by
the Democracy of Charleston, to come off on

The Mobile and Ohio Hail ltoad State
ment of tho Board.
Our readers are aware that the bonds of the
above Company to the- amount of $600,000,
are advertised to be sold at Sheriff’s sale in
the city of Montgomery, on the 4th day of
August next. The announcement Las created
some excitement in Alabama, and the press
are pretty severe in their censure of Governor
Winston for commanding the sale. The state
ment of the Board of Directors lias been ea
gerly expected, and is forthcoming in the Mo
bile Register of the Bth inst. from which we
make up the following complete history of the
affair:
During the session of 1853-4, the Legislature
loaned to the Company the sum of $400,000,
at ti por cent, returnable in two years, (jov.
Winston as required by law, demanded as se
curity, the Company's first Mortgage bonds to
the amount of $600,000, and personal securi
ty to the amount of $200,000; which wits giv-
en, and the Company received the desired
amount in the notes of the old State Bank.
Before the expiration of the two years, the
Company, finding it impossible to make desir
able sale of their bonds, applied for a two
year’s extension of tho loan. The Legislature
of 1855-6 granted the extension upon the
. same terms as before, but with the proviso
that no extension should he granted without
due satisfaction to the Governor that the State
would bo safe; and further the Governor was
directed to require, not only first mortgage
bonds to the amount of the loan, but also such
personal security, not less than fifty per cent
of the loan, as he deemed necessary. The
Governor vetoed this act and it was passed
over his head. About a month after this bill
was passed, another general bill passed, which
required the consent of the stockholders of
any company receiving loans from the State,
by vote in convention, to a forfeiture of char
ter, if its bonds were not paid at maturity.
This bill also, tire Governor vetoed as uncon
stitutional, and it too was passed over his
head; and it is this bill, according to the
statement before us, that has caused all the
trouble.
At the Stockholder’s annual meeting on the
25th of February, the Board stated that the
extension had been granted, [but it hadn’t]
because as the Report states,- they knew they
could comply with all the requirements of the
first act above alluded to. The bonds fell due
on the 28th of March. On the 13th, the Pre
sident writes to the Governor to know the
terms upon which he would grant the exten
sion. The Governor replies, that lie shall re
quire personal security in the sum of SIOO,-
000, the whole amount; also a resolution
waiving any defence on the score of having
been paid iu bills of the old State Bank, and
waiving all defence on the score of illegality
attending said loan; also lie shall require reso
lution of the Stockholders in Convention, in
accordance with the last named general bill.
The President replies, I will waive, I will give
the security : but as to a Convention of Stock
holders, they are scattersd over four States,
and it will be impossible to get them together
by the 28th, when the bonds are due and pay
able. I never heard of this law requiring a
Convention till your Excellency informed me
ot it’ l can t help it says tho Governor ; I
vetoed the bill, and tho Legislature passed it
in spite of me. 1 have no discretion in the
matter; I must comply with the law and will
accordingly sell off your bonds at tho proper
time lor it. Tho Company thereupon obtained
an injunction to prevent the sale, and we be
lieve are now negotiating abroad for the sale
of their bonds ; so the matter stands.
It is for the reader, not exactly for us, (at
least we do not care to express an opinion) to
decide who is to blame, the Governor for com
plying with and enforcing the law, or the
Board of Directors for never hearing till the
Governor tcld them, ot the general law enact
ed a month after that extending their loan.
One of the Governor's letters during the
progress of the correspondence is quite a spi
cy document. We make the following extracts:
Asa public officer, 1 have but one line of
action, that is a literal observance of the acts
regulating and authorizing tiie re-loan.
I have the satisfaction of knowing that the
act presenting the obstacles was vetoed for
unconstitutionality and nonsensicality, &c.,
ike. But the wise men in and out of the Le
gislature who were sent, or who made, them
selves the only guardians of the interest of
the Company, were much more employed in
writing and making foolish and false charges
against the Executive than iu giving any at
tention to the more important interest of the
road. Had the Company’s other employees
been as faithful and active in their vocation as
these, the work would have been in amove ad
vanced state.
1 he two acts on the subject of the loans to
railroad companies having been made to become
laws without executive approval, 1 have no
discretion in their execution.
M c notice that the Report speaks of the pay
ment to the Company of the amount borrowed,
iu lulls of the old State Bank, on which they
submitted to a loss of $10,689.63 ; and though
no direct charge is made, it is insinuated that
this was not right. Now it was perfectly well
understood at the time the loan was obtained,
that these bills were to be used; and one argu
ment of the friends of the loan was, that these
bills might be making (1 per cent, to the State,
instead of lying idle iu the Treasury. This
argument was used in the legislative debate;
the Company was perfectly well aware, that
those bills would be paid them ; audit is rath
er late in the day to grumble or express sur
prise at it.
Among the speakers at the Democratic Rati
fication Meeting in Washington, were Messrs.
Cass, Douglas, and Stephens of Georgia—all
of whom pledged themselves to go the entire
swine for “ Ruck and Hreck.”
About 10 o’clock the meeting adjourned,
and preceded by the Rand, repnired to the
Presidential mansion. After loud and repeat
ed calls, President Pierce appeared, and spoke
for about 30 minutes in b> half of the nomi
nees.
The te'egraph wire was taken into the Hall
during the Convention nt Cincinnati, and mes
sages sent direct from the theatre of action to
all the principal cities.
The Cincinnati Stabbing Case.
Mr. Buell who was recently stabbed in Cin
cinnati, is said to he improving. He did not
know he was hurt for some time after theuc
curreuce. While washing in the Gentlemen’s
Room at the Burnett House, a by standee call
ed his attention to the blood upon his elo'hes,
which v vs the first intimation he had of his
mishap. An exchange paper says:
Mr. Buell is about thirty years old, and has
been a member of the Indiana Legislature.
Alter leaving the Legislature he established
the Western Democratic Revic.v at Indianapo
lis, but on its early death, went to Pittsburg,
Uu., and thence to Washington where h.j es
tablished the “National Democratic Review,
of which lie is at present the editor and pro
prietor. lie is a man of large frame and great
strength, and the Gazette says was probably
thy physical superior of any man in the crowd
iu which tho ass ray occurred.
The following version of the affray is from
the Cincinnati Commercial:
“ A man, apparently crasy, was speaking to
a crowd of men and boys from a pile of stone.
Buell, good naturedly, assisted the speaker in
getting the attention of the crowd, and after
wards made a speech. A man in the crowd
asked, “who arc you? ” lie answered “1 am
an American.” The person in the crowd fre
quently interrupted Buell, and finally went
towards him, and got into an altercation with
him, upon some alleged contradiction that he
committed in his speech. They came to blows
and fought through the crowd across the street,
when they were separated, and Buell was tak
en into the Burnett House, and found to be
stabbed in two or more places, the most se
rious being through the shoulder into the lung.
In his speech, Buell was extremely “fillibus
tcrisli,” and irritated his opponent by what he
supposed to be reflections upon Mr. Buchan
an.
The Pocket Test.
Gerritt Smith says he is too old to fight for
Kansas, but he wilL be one of a million to sub
scribe SIO,OOO each, in aid of her freedom.—
We reckon! If he had said one of a hundred,
his money would still be safe. He touches the
wrong nerve when he pulls a silver string. To
prove it, listen : In the debate in the Massa
chusetts Legislature upon granting $20,000 in
aid of Kansas settlers, a Mr. Rogers, of Bos
ton, proposed to vote an additional appropria
tion of SSO from each member’s pay. This
was rejected almost unanimously ; And the
$20,000 bill has since been lost.
Massachusetts Legislature.
Gov. Gardner, on Wednesday last, sent a
message to the House of Representatives, re
commending that all the expenses of the sick
ness of the Hon. Charles Sumner be assumed
by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Sum
ner heard of it and telegraphed “No ! What
ever Massachusetts can get let it all go to suf
fering Kansas.” Poor Kansas! Magnanimous
Sumner !

Indignation Meeting.
A Sumner sympathy meeting was held at.
Philadelphia last Friday night.
Addresses were made by Benj. Brewster,
Judge Kelly, E. Joy Morris, Charles Gilpin
and a number of others; after which a series
of resolutions offered by Ex-Mayor Conrad de
nouncing the Outrage as revolutionary, de

the cowardly and brutal spirit of the assailant,
were adopted by acclamation.
There is an odd fish in Savannah—a Mr.
Wm. Humphreys, a Chemist principally, who
is a great genius in a great many ways; and is
always discovering something new and often
good, out of which a more practical, and less
eccentric man, might make a fortune. The
Republican thus records his last feat:
“ The most beautiful sheep skin we have
ever seen has been placed on exhibition in our
Reading Room, by Mr. Wm. Humphreys, of
this city. The skin is as soft as kid, and the
wool as white as snow, and almost as soft as
silk. It was prepared or tanned in a few min
utes, by a negro man, who has been instruct
ed in Mr. Humphreys’ process. It seems to
us that a process which turns out so beautiful
an article, must possess no little merit and
value.”
The Baldwin Blues, as we learn from tho
Milledgeville papers, were out target firing a
few days since. The first prize, a silver gob
let, was won by Serg't. Doles ; the second and
third highest averages were by privates H. G.
Williams and M. Grieve, jr. The first prize
was won by an average in three shots, of six
inches ; the best single shots were by privates
J. Smith and P. Fair, jr.
The Columbia (S. (’.) papers contain full

the mechanics and workmen engaged on the
building.
It is said tbnt it was so “ arranged” as to

Hooped Petticoats vs. Dogs.
One day last week says the Montgomery Ad
vertiser, a lady was attacked in one of the
streets of our city by three dogs, and violent
ly thrown to the ground. In their ferocious
attempts to bite her, her dress was literally
torn from her person ; hut the hooped petti
coat proved a Sebastopol to the canine assas
sins—so effectually shielding her precious flesh
that she escaped with but a few slight scratch
es on her neck, and some slight bruises on the
face occasioned by the fall. ~ There is virtue
