lion K. P. Stanton, Secretary of Kansas
under <lov. Walker, in a late speech at Law
rence in win the following statement:
He (Mr. Stanton l eanie to Knnsns in '57,
believing it to be the the inteiitioii of .Mr. Bu
chanan to deal fairly with tin* people. Had
not this been his opinion, he would never have
accepted the position-of Secretary, nor Walk
er that of Governor <>f the Territory, Justice
demanded the ndmis.-ion that he -till Iwlieved
the intention of the Administration to have
been good. Its present it no of policy was an
after-thoie_ r ht. Pnti! the month of Septendier
lie and Gov. Walker were su-tained throughout
by the Administration. He would mention
one circnmstniitec that was not generally known
as showing this eoneln-ively.
On the Ist of September, (Jen. Whitfield
and Ilr. Tebln, of Kansas, who were then in
Washington, signed a letter "expressly stating
that the course of (inventor Walker and Sec
retary Stanton was acceptable to the people of
Kansas, inasmuch as an undoubted majority
were in favor of a free State." This Irtlrr vis
written at the sperid rn/mxt of Mr. Jlurhonov,
who was anxious to shield himself from the as
saults being made upon Li in bv the South
Through Mr. Buchanan's agency ihe letter
was scut to the Union office, and was actually
in tv|>e, accompanied by editorial comments
endorsing the character of Dr. Tehbs as a
"gentleman of unimpeachable veracity,'' when
it was seen in proof by a Southern member of
the Cabinet, who ordered its suppression. From
thiil dun to thi< the course of the Adiniui-tra

Amur Al. OF A STEAM CANAL BOAT FROM BFF
FAt.O. —-The steam canal boat Charles Waek,
the first of her class which has made the trip
throngh to New i'ork, arrived at pier No. (>
Kast river on Saturduy, having made the pas
sage in fourteen days. She left Buffalo on the
25* li tilt, with 4(H0 bushels of corn, weighing
134 lons, and had in tow as far as West Troy
the Wnt. Croxicr, with 4*9 barrels of flour,
1371 bu-hels of wheat on bord, together with
some castings and machinery, making the ag
gregate tonnage of both boats 277 tons The
average rate of speed of tlie Waek on the
canal was about two miles an hour—sometimes
running three—and on the Hudson, without
the tow, but with a strong head wind, four
tuiles an hour. She consumed while on the
canal abont two tons of coal in the twenty-four
hours. On tlie whole she made far better
time that could have been done by horse power
and at less expense than it would 'cost for one
canal liont alone on the old principle. The
Charles Waek was Otic of the boats that ac
companied the experimental trip with Gov
King ami the State officers a few months ago
from Rochester to Buffalo. Her arrival in
New Yctk is quite an event in steam canal
navigation.

Mjmn the prospects of the Democracy of the
Empire State at tlie coining election, and ttic
President replied by saying that " the unity of
the Democratic party must be preserved though
every Democratic candidate for Congress in
New York were defeated." If the downfall of
the Administration long continues to proceed
at the present rate of 'declension we do not
doubt that, the patty will shortly become Very
unify. It will consist of James Buchanan and
nobody else.

THE RESULT IN BRADFORD.
A reference to the official table of votes
polled at the late election will show that the
poll has IKMHI a very light one, as under the
circumstances, it could hardly have been other
wise. There seemed to be a feeling peevaleut,
which made it impossible to rally the people
to tbe polls. A general opinion prevailed,
that our State Ticket would be successful by
a large majority, while until within a few days
of the election, the miserable and imbecile
scheme to defeat our County Ticket had not
developed itself. There is no more difficult
feeling to overcome than that of safety,
and that our voters indulged in this feeling
pretty liberally is proven by the light vote. I
A-* it is, however, there are many gratifying
features in the result. It has fully established
the hoinogencoiisiiess and stability of the Re
publican party of Bradford. Established upon
the rock of Principles, it bids defiance alike to
attacks from without or treason within. Its
members have too high and sensible an idea
of the usefulness of the organization to permit
it to be broken down to gratify imaginary
grievances, or because nominations may be
made which are contrary to the judgment of
a portion of the party. The members of our
organization have rallied to the support of our
County Ticket in .sufficient numbers to prove
that disorganization will meet with no success
so long as principles remain to be advanced—
which can only lie effectively maintained by
means of our organization. We have no com
plaints to make of the few Republicans who
saw fit to strike a portion of our County Tick
et, for we have no doubt, in the main they
were actuated by honest motives, and we have
no question when time shall show them their
prejudices are without foundation, they will be
ready to acknowledge it.
THE RESULT IN THE STATE.
Official returns for thirty-six counties in the
State show an opposition majority of upwards
of "(>,fH)O. The remainder of the State will
unquestionably increase the majority to 10.000.
The delegation to the next Congress will
stand 20 Opposition, three auti Lecompton
Democrats, and two Lceompt unites, one ol
whom will have his seat contested, as follows:

Rrfr Letters from Valentin report that no
improvement had taken place in the electrical
condition of the Atlantic cable. Tint faulty
however, did i;Ot get worse, for occasionally
considerable and distinct " reversals from
Newfoundland were discernible. The opinion
that the principal fault iff the cable is near
the shore daily gained ground, although Pro
lessor Thomson's opinion was directly opposed
lo Hieli u supposition. It was supposed that
something would be done towards under run
ning and repairing tlie cable dining October,
which is generally aline month on the Irish
coast. Mr. Henley's gigantic magm-to electric
machine hud nnived at \ uleutin and been put
in operation, and, willi the aid ot this instru
ment, Mr Henley hoped to he able to work
through the cable during some part of each
day, even if the fault should prove irrepara
ble.
It was the unanimous opinion of nearly all
at Valentin that the laying of ten or twelve
miles of the thick shore cud of the cable would
tend permanently to obviate a great many of
the difficulties with which the electrical depart
ment of the undertaking has been interrupted.

of the Atlautic Telegraph Company, writes to j
the Times in response to an article calling in
question his estimate of the distance of the
limits in the cable, lie stntcs that his means

TIIF. ErtriKMtc Sorm.—The yellow fever i.s
on the decrease at Savannah, and in Charles
ton the indications are that it lias ahout done
its worst; but it hangs on at New Orleans with
a pertinacity and a malignity that has always
marked its ravages there. It is to he hoped
the warning of the Howard Association, that
strangers stay away ti'l frost sets in, will not
pass unheeded. To go from this to that climate
just now, is but to add fresh fuel to the flame.
It is a curious fact—attested by common ex
perience—that, dm ing yellow fever epidemics,
clear and beautiful weather mostly predoitiiu !
atcs. Such is the case the present season at
New Orleans, and such was the case on pre-!
vious visitations of the jwstilence. Who cau I
explain this apparent phemotueuou ?
