The -complaint of one of the young menassauit- edJosiah Porter, hid" exacted of iustice a ' slight bood'for the appearance of the crim inals before the judicial tribunals. The case of the other young man,- too ill from his wounds, and perhaps too proud to com- . plain personally until that spirit was bro ken which would not bend was notinvei tigated by the Mayor; no public complaint, no public prosecution or investigation was raada by the sworn 'city "guardians of the peace," yet.it was a case where the most j - uenuisii passious 4iuu wreuseu outrageous Violation of the law, a violation of the law organized tne ,. result ot a conspiracy - openly talked, boasted and s wagsrered thro' the streets. . . . l assault on Porter, and on the 17th of Nov. they were taken before a police magistrate, ...... . . t . ... . kiiu uuuuu utci lut lum. iuey iuuiiu 'bondsmen.

' Many of the laws of the late i Kansas Territorial Legislature are objectionable,' and some of them, as we believe, in dirrct ' conflict with the Constitution ; yet -the better plan for the citizens ot Kansas to nave pursuea would have been to have sought redress through the ballot-box ; repealed or a- mended the laws through their, repre sentatives elected to the next Teirritorial Legislature. ' Un to the present time we had not anticipated any thing serious would grow out of the difficulties in Kansas, but we must confess that our opinions have changed. There is one thing, however, very certain. Our opinions have not changed iu regard to the Kan sas-Nebraska bill, for we still regard it as One of the most unwise and injudi cious measures that could possibly have been concocted. And as an evidence 01 the contradictory ; provisions of the bill we now have men up in arms against each other, and both claiming protection and rights under it. From the Kickapoo city (Mo.)
