No response, (’ailed again. No answer. After wailing a reasonable lime, a delegate moved In adjourn ns t here seemed to be no bus j iness to ho transacted.

Then oilier diffieiillies arose about contested seals -in relation (o the mode of balloting— upon the reports of Commit too on Credentials, jic.. Ac. The dissatisfied delegates bolted and the Fillmore men applauded. An informal vole was then taken. Fremont had 22!?. Fillmore t>lO, ami a few scattering. The Woolly Horse was ahead, and finally got the nominal ion. Three cheers for Fremont three groans from , i the Fillmore men. Rev. Mr. Cshor. of Medford. said he came there for Fremont, he voted for Fremont, and he called for three cheers when he pot the nom ination. They could get along without the Fillmore men. They were few in number and few in constituents. The Rev. gentleman's name was placed upon the Fremont Electoral ticket. Clod save the commonwealth ! i Ex-Gov. Johnston, of our own State, was placed upon the Fremont ticket as the candi -1 date for Vico President.

Some of the delegates said | that if a State ticket was nominaled now.it ; would certainly be defeated —so the mailer was postponed. The Fillmore men organized a Convention of their own. Their speeches had the true ’ grit- There was a spice in their remarks little short in pungency of Cayenne popper. The Gardner men arc inexpressibly mortified at their fadure to nominate a State ticket—and so the mailer stands.

MATTERS AND TRIMS Iff CENERAt. Tho last arrivals from Californio,, bring tho nows of a horrid- slate of anarchy In Son Fran cisco. It seams that ‘through tho corruption of politicians, tho Yohallty-of officials, and tliu united and onorgotio co-opprotlon of gamblers, cut-throats, and -scoundrels in general, that the administration and execution of laws bad be come a mure farce, so Tarns tho punishment of crime was concerned, or so farns the protection of tho rights of honest men were in question. Exasperated by this slate of society, many perhaps honest and well-meaning men, united to take (lie power fo their own hands, and rid the community of tho leading posts by Lynch law.

At (he latest date nfob law had tho nseend ikm*, and mor e persons than the corrupt and icious, began to tremble at tho consequences. began to assume the characteristics of a Reign of Terror,” and may yet make a bide ts mark on tho unfortunate city. Should It rminule without the Infliction of any horrid rung, wo do not know hut It would be ft B calamity to tho country at largo than though terminated with some terrible outrage. For lould it merely punish the bud and then settle ick to obedience to law and order, there is a nger that its success would initiate tho ora of >b-law in thousands of sections of the Union, d thus place our republic besldo Mexico in anarchy and blood-slied. With the patriotic and sound thinking, there can be hut one opin ion, and that is that wo. must give an orderly observance to tho laws, and a patient submission to those the majority have placed in power, un til wo can get a constitutional change in laws and olHccrs. Mob-laWflt the instuift may give relief, but in tho precedent it establishes, and in wrongs that will Inevitably grow out of it, it will entail on tho country curses n thousand fold more griovous than tho evils it eradicates. Kansas is yet distracted, though it seems that tho government forces have awakened to tho knowledge that they are not parhtan forces, but arc expected to deal justly with both parties.— Acting under this new impulse a horde of MU- i nitli.vna who had come over to Kansas to foment disturbance, and light, have been sent homo; while ft similar party of Abolitionists, rushing on for ft similar purpose have also been Should this policy bo continued, tho bitter passions of the public would cool down and tho question of Kansas’ constitution would bo set tled without bloodshed. Thus far it has boon a wretched piece of business, and tho good sense and patient endurance of the people havo been the only preventatives that have saved tho country from civil war.

The Kansas Commission. The report of Messrs. llovrimTand Sherman, tho majority of tho Committee of the House of Representatives, appointed to investigate tho troubles in the Territory of Kansas, was made and read to the House.on Tuesday and Wed-' nesday.* It* is very voluminous, and abcom* panied by a mass of testimony which would fill a good sized volume. Wo have only room for the facts and conclusions which the gentle men making thd report consider established by the testimony, to wit: Ist. That each eloolion in the Territory held under the organic or alleged Territorial law has been carried by organized invasions from the Stale ol Missouri, by winch the people of the Territory have been prevented' from exer cising the rights secured to them l>y the organ ic law. 2d. That Urn alleged Territorial Legislature was nn illegally constituted body, and had no power to pass valid laws, and their enactments arc, therefore null and void. 3d. Thai these alleged laws have not, as a general thing, been used to protect persons and property and to punish wrong, but for unlaw- ful purposes. 4th. That the election under which tho sit ting Delegate, John W. Whitfield, holds his seal, was not held in pursuance of any valid law, and that it should be regarded only as the expression of the choice of those resident citi zens who voted for him. full. That the election under which the con testing Delegate, Andrew II- Reeder, chums his seat, was not held in pursuance of law, and that it should he regarded only as the expres sion of the choice ol the resident citizens who voted for him. Glh. That Andrew H. Reeder received a greater number of voles of resilient citizens than John W. Whitfield, for Delegate. 7lh. That in the present comiilinnof the Territory a fmr election cannot beheld without a new sensn-s. n stringent nmi well guarded election law, Hie selection of impartial .fudges, nmi the presence of United Slates troops al ev ery place of election. Blh. That the various elections held by the people of the Territory preliminary to the for mation of the Slate (iovemment, have been ns regular ns the disturbed condition of the Ter ritory would allow ; and that the Constitution passed by the Convention, held in pursuance of said elections, embodies the will of a majori ty of the people. This, it mast bo borne in mind, is only one sido of the story. Mr. Oliver, the minority member of the Committee, has his report yet to make, which will doubtless put a different face on many matters which are presented in their worst light by the majority.

Doug las's Kansas bill, ns it passed tho Senate, v?ilK Mr. Gcycr's amendment: , • It provides for the appointment of five Com missioners, to be selected by-thc President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, from diflerent sections of the Union, to repre sent fairly all political portions. [Parties ?] They shall lake a census of all (ho legal voters in tho Territory, nhd make a fair apportion ment of delegates to be elected by each county to lorm a Constitution and institute n State Government. When tho apportionment shall be made tho Commissioners are to remain 1 in session every day except Sunday. at the place most convenient for tho inhabitants of said Territory, to bear all complaints, examine wit nesses and correct all errors in said list of vo ters ; which list shall be previously printed and generally circulated through tbu Territo ry, and'postcd 1 in at least .three of tho most public places of each election dis'rict, and as soon as all the errors have thus been corrected in the said lists, the Commissioners are reques ted to cause a correct list of the legal voters to be printed and copies furnished to each Judge of election, to be put up at tho places of vo-. ting and circulated in every county in the Ter ritory before the day of election—no person to be allowed to vote whose name docs not appear on the list as a legal voter : the election for del egates to*takc place on tho day of the Presi dential election, and the Convention to assem- ble on the first Monday In December, to decide first whether it be expedient for Kansas to com* into the Union at that ihye. and if so decided, to proceed to form a constitution and Slate Gov ernment, which shall bo of Republican form : Kansas then to be admitted under such Const!- hilion. on an equal fooling with the original States. The bill provides further, that no law shall be enforced m the Temlory infringing the liberty of speech or of the press, or the right of the people to bear arms, &o. It also provides pnnlshmcnl for illegal voting, or fraud and violence at elections, and authorises the use of the military for that purpose. The main point is that the persons designated by 'he census os the present inhabitants of the Territory shall decide oil poiqts in dispute, at n fair election, without fraud or violence, or any other improper influence. All the white male inhabitants, over 21 years of ngc, arc to be allowed to vole, If they have resided in the Territory three months previous to the day of the election, and no other lest shall be re* nuired ; no oath to support the fugitive Slave Law, or any other law, nor any other condi tion whatever.

He left West port, in this State, in the evening, to go to tho Agency, and where his family reside. He was accompanied by his son. having hut one horse between them* and agreeing to “ride and tic.” When one or two miles out from Westport, they were accosted by three men, who demand ed whor they were and what they were? Mr. Gay answered that he was from Michigan, and would give no other answer. Thereupon the party commenced firing upon them. The son was upon the horse, and received a wound *n the thigh, but made In's escape by jumping over the fence into a com field, and returning to Westport. The father was shot dead, re ceiving several wounds—one in the head,which proved fatal. Uc is said .to have made a man ly resistance to the attack of bis murderers,but was overpowered by them. The key of his safe—with which place of security for the money of the Department ho had been furnish ed by the Superinterfdant at this place, was found in his right hand pocket: the left hand pocket was turned inside out in the struggle. The body of Mr. Gny was buriod on Monday lanl.lbut up lo that time no discovery bad been made of his murderers. It is said that the son could identify them If .they were brought before him.
