issued and no complaint made by which to
arrest any person supposed to hare been
guilty of violating the law.
"Those who horn ihe report lo Ihe ears of

very much exasperated at the Governor when
they learned, that he had concluded mil to use
(hem in an attempt to reduce (fte.peupfe of
Kansas to the vassalage of Missouri. They
charged ’ his Excellency with perfidy, and
threatened Ip visit huivwidi their very parlic.-J
ular vengeance at some future lime. The
ruffian army, some 1,200 strong while sta
tioned nl Franklin,' made prisoners of all
who passed that way, either,going to or com
ing from Lawrence, and as a rule robbed
their pnsmieis of such articles of value ns
they happened to possess, They slopped the
United Stales Mad, made a prisoner of the
ennier, and detained him about’ an hour,
when some of the sliiewder ones came to the
<;• nelti'ion that they might perhaps gel them
selves into difficulty wuh Uncle Snrn, vnt’hei
Hoalli released their prisoner and let him go
with the mail to Lawrence; but Mr. J. S.
Alan, a passenger in the mad coach or wag
on, was detained ns a prisoner and robbed of
a railroad ncket or pass winch he had pro
cured (or use in returning to his former borne
in Michigan. Mr. Molt relumed with Mr.
Wdiets.
Mr. Wilier* assures us that not more than
fifty ol the Governor's twelve hundred min
were, residents of ECan-us; but to make a
-how of regularity, they come across the
Missouri line info the Territory (fetching
their arms with them, of course) before be
