Preecrvation of the Purity of the Ballot* Box in Kansas. The telegraphic reports from Washington to the effect that the Administretion would justify the frauds in the Oxford precinct, and that Gov. Walker and Secretary Stanton are to be removed if they donut resign, are not confirmed. It is well known that Govern >r Walker’s official acts, hitherto, have met the entire approbation of President Buchanan and his Cabinet, and that freedom and fairness of election were what the Executive of Kansas and the Administration most earnestly wished and desired to obtain. It is improbable that Governor Walker will be condemned by the Administration for using his best efforts to accomplish what President Buchanan in his inaugural adress, declared with reference to Kansas: 'lt is tiie imperative and indispensable duty of the government of the United Elates Insecure toeveiy resident inhabitant the free and independent expression of his opinion by his vote. This sacred right of each individual must be preserved.’ Thu action of Governor Walker in rejecting the fraudulent returns from the Oxford precinct meets with the approval of the Democratic press. This is a certain indication that the popular sentiment, approves his faithfulness preserving the parity of the ballot-box. The Philadelphia Presr says of the proclamation: •It is a paper that, reflects high credit on him. We honor his courage, his candor and ids integrity. No man can read this noble document without feeling that truth and patriotism dictated every line of it.’ The Detroit Free Press in commenting upon the reasons of Governor Walker for mantaining the sanctity of the elective franchise, forcibly remarks: ■Whosoever may be the authors of this fraud, they are not democrats; they are, rather the enemies of the democratic party. No sentiment has ever been more cordially and earnestly responded to by the great democratic party than that of the President, that every resident inhabitant <>( Kansas is intitled to protection in the free and independent expression of his opinion by bis vote; and Governor Walker is iutiiicd to the plaudits of that great party for the honest and straight forward fearlessness with which he has interposed the governmental protection. The Albany Argus and Atlas in referring to the charge of the Kansas?agitators that Mr. Buchanan’s administration designed stifling the voice of the people of that Territory and consign it to slavery, says:

But the desperate game of these politicians has failed of success. Its exposure has transpired before it could be made available lor the election in this State. — The fairness of President Buchanan’s ad ministration ami Gov. Walker in relation to the Kansas election is now demonstrated, and the mouths of all decent objectors are stopped. Ttts UxvEasKS.—lt is safe to say that just about mis time there arc as many mortified spirits in certain portions of New York as would expiate halt the sin of Wall Street, if mere mortification could do it. A fashionable gentleman, well known in monied circles, was seen, on a late evening not long since, in the deepest agitation, conversing with an acquaintance of his. whose rank in life would have forbidden the confidential tone and manner which the '‘aristocrat” now assumed, sixty days ago. But these monied tornadoes arc great levelers; the rich man was then the patron, as he supposed the superior, now he was, as far as the woild’s goods go, gieatly the inferior, and in a Mate of mind more miserable than his humble friend ever had been. A beautiful house, splendidly furnished, in the fifth avenue, had that day gone into the; hands of the sheriff; his first instalment i <m tiie pureliv e of a year since of 87,000 down, was lost to him, and his thirty thousand dollar mansion and all it contained were taken on the mortgages. 'The worst of it ail is,’ said the gentleman, ‘ray wife i; ignu ant of the state of my affairs, and to-night it is necessary to make them known to her, and 1 have not the courage O 1 to do it. bhe dm-s not know that the house and all it eoniains ate gone and to impart the m.'ormaiion to her costs me the : greatest effort 1 ever made, lam so miserable loan hardly go home.’ Those two , men parted; he whose pride had fallen,; to go to a fashion-loving wife, in whom he evidently would find no sympathiser, and make the dreaded disclosure, and the other to wonder at the mutation of misfor- 1 tune which brought the wealthy man be - i low that of the individual he had in days past superciliously patronized.

Horrible Murder nt Fentonville™Two Persons Killed and others not Expected to Live. A gentleman named Johnson, recently [ moved to Fentonville, with his family consisting of a wife and three children the : oldest of the latter but eight years of age. j Not having got all his beds up, the wife 1 remained at the hotel over night, where Mr. Johnson went to the house with the - children, and was accompanied by a boy j named George Colwell, about 17 years , old. About eight o’clock in the evening two young men came in, asked for Mr. Johnson, saying that they were going to his father’s house, a short distance from ‘there. On receiving a very pressing in- . vitation, they consented to remain over night, and go with him in the morning I and sec the old gentleman. Mr. Johnson that night slept in a bed with his twogirls; the little boy slept with Colwell, and the young men had a bed made upon the floor, between the other beds. During the night Mr. Johnson heard one of his girls cry out. Pa! and at the same time received a blow on the side of the head. He was partially stuned, and the next he remembered, he was running after a man who was attempting to escape by the door. The man turned again and struck at him with some instrument.— Mr J. followed the fellow for some distance without being able to overtake him, and therefore returned to his home. On entering the room where he had been sleeping, a horrible sight met his eyes—one of the little girls and the Colwell boy lay dead before him, and the other little 'girl and boy insensible from the effect of i their injuries! The agonized father screamed ‘Murder!’ and called in the neighbors. Several came in, and on examination the following particulars were disclosed: The body first examined was that of ' young Colwell. He had received a blow, ■ apparently from an axe. His skull was ' pntirxaly opon, V»ia fc>faiixe» oil 1 run out. The little boy who lay beside i Colwell, had been struck twice in the I head by an axe or hatchet, ana another lin the abdomen. One of the little girls ; who slept with the father, had received j ; several wounds in the head and body with i I a similar instrument. She was dead' — J The other girl bad a cut in the head, ap- , ■ patently from a.slanting blow from the axe I ! which had taken off a portion of the scalp, I The father had received two blows on the I top of the head, and a severe cut on his hand The little girl is doing well, but at 4 o’clock last night, when our informant left, the boy was not expected to recover. ; Suspicion rests upon two young fellows i who had recently had some difficulty I I about some gambling operations. Mr. i 'Johnson had about 8400, and it is supI posed that they were aware of it, and took ! this means of gaining possession of it, | killing the children that there should be | Ino evidence against them. The whole' tragedy, as we learn it, is one of the most | heartless and cold-blooded we have ever j I known of and the perpetrators deserve no j rnerev if proved to be guilty. — Detroit Daily Advertiser.

A Colored man, by the name of Clark, I has published an adress to ‘The Clergy- ■ men and God’s People, of the Church, in behalf of the fugitive negroes in Canada. He says, that many of them are living in the woods, without money, and in a most wretched condition. These negroes were induced to runaway from their masters by such brawling Abolitionists as Chase, and other leaders of the Republican party, and have been run off to Canada in violation of law, by ‘underground railroads.’ Now, when they are {suffering almost to the point of salvation, j these political agitators have no feelings of sympathy for them. Since they are 'free, they are willing to let them starve. Not one of them cares a fig for a negro after he’s free. What they do is from hatred of the master. Be Modest.—We have sometimes heard it disputed in conversation, whether it be more laudable or desirable that a man should think too highly or too meanly of himself. It is on all hands agreed to be best, that he should think rightly. But since a fallible being will always make some deviation from exact rectitude, is not wholly useless to inquire t towards which side it is safer to decline. The prejudice of making seems to favor j him who errs by underrating his own powers. Ide is considered as a modest and harmless member of society; not likely to break the peace by competition; to endeavor after snch splendor of reputation at may dim the lustre of others; or to interrupt any in the enjoyment of them- . selves. He is no man’s rival, and tbeM>- ■ fore m«v he everj man's friend. 1

The False Issue Exposed. We presume it is not now pretended in any quarter that Kansas stands in any danger whatever of being made a slave State. It is remembered, however, that the Black Republicans vehemently claimed during the Presidential canvass that whether Kansas should be slave or free depended wholly upon the result of the Presidential struggle. If Mr. Buchanan should be chosen, they averred, slavery would inevitably go to Kansas; if Col. Frement should be chosen Kansas would be free. The great issue of the election, they persisted from first to last in declaring, was, solely, the freedom of Kansas. And they made a great many people believe it. It seemed to matter not with many that the Democratic party repudiated any such issue and ridiculed the idea of it, and showed how eventually, the people of the Territory must and would determine the question of slavery according to their own good pleasure — it seemed to matter not that the tenor of Mt. Buchanan’s whole life forbid the supposition that he could be guilty of any single act of unfairness towards the people of Kansas—it seemed tow Mier not that the whole course of his life gave ample assuranace that all his acts regarding Kansas, as well as regarding everything else, would be strictly fair and equitable and just—tens of thousands of voters in the North refused to liston to the appeals of reason, but permitted themselves to be humbugged into crying themselves hoarse for ‘Fremont and freedom.’

Mr. Buchanan was nevertheless elected, and scarcely more than seven months have passed since he became President; and what has been the event regarding Kansas? Has slavery gene there, or is there the remotest possibility that it will go there? Has Mr. Buchanan sought to introduce it there? Has he been guilty of any one unfair act toward Kansas?— Has he not, on tho contrary, by the employment of every instrumentality in his power, insured to the people of Kansas their right to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way?— Has he not so ordered affairs that the people of Kansas have been able, unmolested by exterior influences, to express their opinions by their votes?’ The States of Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Ohio have in a manner just answered these questions. Thousands and thousands of people in those States who were deceived into voting for ‘Fremont and freedom’ have their eyes open to the extent of the false pretences by which they were befooled, and have either voted the Democratic ticket or abstained from voting at all. It was without effect that they were told that ‘Kansas still bleeds’—that the Border Ruffians were upon her, and that nothing but the moral force of a serious of Republican triumphs would Bftvs her, wnc DOI so be deceived by the like false pretences the second time. Os course no party can sustain itself which has been guilty of gross ponular 'deception. The masses, who are neither politicians nor office-seekers, are somei times misled, but when they become coni scious of the fact, woe to the party-lea-j tiers who have practiced the imposition. Behold Chase in Ohio, and i I mot in Pennsylvania.— Detroit Free Press. TheScutence of Brayman. Judge Drummond sentenced Brayman to four years confiement in the Penitentiary at Alton, to hard labor. The punishment imposed by law for his offence, is imprisonment not less than two or more than ten years. The Chicago Times of the 30th gives the followingcireumstances attending the sentence and the conduct of the prisoner: James O. Brayman. editor of the Chicago Democrat, convicted of the crime of stealing letters from the Chicago post office, was brought before the United States District Court at four o’clock yesterday afternoon to receive hissentence.—About one hundred persons were present, mostly of the intimate acquaintances of the prisoner. Brayman entered the court room with an air of entire unconcern, and took a seat in front, of tho bench. He betrayed not the lightest emotion during any part of the proceedings, and received the sentence of the court with as much apparent indifference as if he had been listening to an ordinary after dinner speech. This complete apathy has marked the prisoner i during every stage of the cause since his j arrest, and has done perhaps more than anything else to impress upon the public! mind the convictton of his depravity of heart.

Brayman was immediately removed by the Marshal to a room adjoining his office, where be remained until 8 o’clock last evening. He was then transferred to the railway train and conveyed to Alton. Mrs. Bray man, we understand, accompanied him, and will remain at Alton during the term of his imprisonment. — iii m Spurgeon’s Audianceon Fast Day.— The London Morning Star, speaking ol the Rev. Mr. Spurgeons services before an audiance of 24,000 persons, on the national fast day for the events in India, says: When all was over a loud clapping of hands testified the aproval of the hearers, and a few minutes afterwards groups of people were quaffing bottled stout, within a few feet of the pulpit. Eating and drinking on the most extended scale were carried on all over the establishment; and many seemed to think that tasting was not included in the ceremonies of the day. Thanksgiving in New York is to be on the 26th of November.

In a good Condition. The treasury of Arkansas is now full to 1 overflowing with gold and silver. Banks are failing, general ruin and distress are widespread through the country, but Arkansas feels it not. Her indebtedness on account of her old banks is being surely and rapidly paid off. On her own account Arkansas does not owe a dollar, while she has in her vaults, in gold and silver, more than enough to defray her expenses for two years without furthei taxation. Os herindebtedness on account of the banks she has already paid ffo at least one third—and paid it ffo, too, with- , out the imposition of one eent of taxes. — Louisville Journal. And yet Arkansas has not a bank within her borders. The State and people are both in a prosperous condition. — Money, real money, circulates freely and without the aid of bank notes the people are able to transact all their business. — Here is evidence that a State without banks of issue is in a more prosperous condition than those which are favored(?) with those institutions. Indiana, every State in the Union, would to day be richer and their progress more permanent and real, undisturded by panics and revulsions such as we are now experiencing, without a paper currency. The example of Arkansas in abolishing banks from her borders is worthy of imitation by her sister States. The States which first adopt the policy will outstrip the others in real wealth and healthful enterprise.— Slate Sentinel.

Incident or tub L*ts Disaster. —ln the recent railroad disaster to a frieght train on the N. York Central, a tall, slabsided, lank, haired Yankee drover was along with six horses in the ear which was precipitated down the embankment. It rolled over and over until it reached the bottom of the hollow below, ana rested upon its side. In a minute or two, the terrible sublimity of the scene was broken, and the consternation of the spectators changed to mirth, upon seeing the door of the upset car thrown open and the head and body of the Vermont drover projecting out of it; his elongated physiognomy expressing the most unmitigated astonishment. ' What on airth,’ he exclaimed, are ye doin’ on?’ The effect was irresistibly comic, and the spectators had to laugh, in spite of the calamnity.— Xew York Tribune. Mahomodan Prophecy Relating to India. Curious things are coming to light respecting the war in India. For months ere its commencement, mystical cakes and the flowers of the sacred lotus, both emblems of the mysterious Hindoo deity, the ‘Queen of Heaven,’ passed throughout the entire domains of British India.— Attention was called hv scholars read in Hindoo mythology, but no notice was taken by the government. The symbols ceased to travel, and the strange and unaccountable insurrection broke out. The Mahometan residents have also their mystery —and a singular one it is—connected with the rebellion. A writer in an English paper states that ‘for upwards of fifty yeara, the Mahomedans have been looking forward to the year 1857 as the year in which they were to regain their domain in the ancient Mogul empire.’

Falsities of paper Currency. Are thus tersely pointed out by the Grand Rapids, (Mich.,)Eoquirer: Your rag currency promises to pay, when it never will; —represents itself to be woitb an equal amount of specie, when it is not worth the paper it is written upon. Under this system it says: Money is false: values are false; the price of real estate is false; the prices of merchandise are false; men are false! everything is puffed and bloated, full of fiction; our whole mercantile system is a sort of inflated balloon, and it only needs a very little pressure to explode it. Now which is the best for the working man, reality or fiction—real value or fictitious value—gold or rags—honesty or lies. The Boston Evening News bears the following testimony to the long-settled policy of the democratic party iu regard to banks and banking: ‘A word in all candor. If the policy of the democratic party in regard to banks and banking, enunciated twenty years ago had been resolutely adhered to, we should not at this day be in danger of bank suspensions or bnuk panics. With millions of the precious metals coming in from the ! mines of California for years past, to swell the aggregate wealth of the nation the ratio of specie to the circulation of bank bills has not been increased an iota. We mean to say that there are more bills! in circulation now in proportion to the ' specie in the vaults of the bank than there ' was before the treasures of the golden | realm were opened unto us. How and why is this? Where has all this vast treasure i gone? Surely the reign of the 'rag barons,’ which democrats in old times used to talk about, is not returning.’

An anecdote is related of a young ; preacher at a city church, who had for his text a verse from the parable of the j ten virgins, and in the course of his sermon explained—‘that in old times it was 1 customary, when the bridegroom and brjdc wej-e coming for ten virgins to go out and meet them and escort them home. five of these virgins being males and five females!’ However poor tbe tree, good fruit can be grafted on it
