Glancey Jones, is coupted ont. Up to last night our information from there told of the claim of his friends that he had ten majority, and that of the other side that he was beaten by a majority of eight votes. Close cal- culations, indeed. From Ohio our information leads us to be- lieve that in members of Congress, the Demo- cratic loss cannot be more thana single mem- ber, if any. We have private despatches assuring us of the re-election of Hall, whom the opposition supposed they had beaten, and others saying that Allen (Dem) has certainly beaten Nichols (Rep.)—decidedly the most effi- clent business man among all the Upposition members of the present House—Cox (Dem.,) who was elected by a plurality to the present House, has now a heavier majority over all competitors. Grosbeck’s defeat was antici- pated, as he was elected to the present House enly through a temporary opposition, His run was a capital one, indeed. Valandigham’s majority is an increased one. The grand result of the Ohio election shows that the Democracy are now far stronger there than at any previous time for perhaps ten Years past. Owing to a split in the opposition at the last Ohio election, the Republican plurality was bat between one and two thou- sand, if we remember correctly. Now with the opposition a unit in every county in the State, their majority is only somewhere about 7,000. It will require only due exertions on the part of our friends to assure the State to the Democratic party in 1860, in view of the fact that opposition dissensions will surely oceur sufficient to nullify 7,000 majority in that State. indiana.—We have a despatch, this morn- fog, from Evansville, Indiana, announcing that Niblack is certainly re-elected to Congress. The friends of Hughes, in this city, feel san- guine of his re-election, though we are satis- fied that, up to 2 p.m., to-day, nothing had reached Washington embracing posi infor- mation of the result in his district. If he is re-elected we will certainly have carried four members from Indiana, with a chance for a fifth. Goverson Denver.—Below the reader will find an able and interesting letter from Gov. Denver, addressed not long since to the New York Trisune in answer to certain misrepre- sentations of his official conduct promulgated through that journal’s columns. We publish it because it embraces a truthful history of Jate occurrences in Kansas Territory, which should be “of record’’ within the reach of all : more especially in this city, where, according to the programme of Douglas & Co., the Kansas question is to be re-opened (in Congress) next winter for the especial benefit of the bolters from the Democratic party organization. We need hardly add that those who know Governor Denver personally will, one and all, place en- tire reliance in his statement of facts; for if there is a public man living whose word is re- liable, it is that so proverbially cautious, single-minded and truthful man. By the by, he has probably ere this left Kan sas to join his family at Wilmington, Ohio, and may be expected in Washington, we take it, about the Ist of November, proximo. Lrcomrton, K. T., Sept 30, 1858. To the Editors of the New York Tribune: Gentlemen: My attention bas been called to an article in ref+rence to Kansas affairs published in your daily of the 20th inst., and tri-weekiy of the 2Ist, in which you suggest that I had proba- bly been compelled by the Administration to re- sign the post | have held here for some months past, and on that supposition you proceed to some serious charges against Mr. Buchana bis administration, for all of which there {i not the slightest foundation. it ix true that I have resigned the office of tovernor of Kansas, but it was an act of my own free will. The Pres. ident desired me to remain, but the condition of my private atlairs would not permit me to do so longer In June last I sent up my resignation to take effect in August, but while in ¥ ashington in July, at the earnest solicitation of many per- sons interested in K nd also at the request of the President, I then hdrew it for the time being. Those who are conversant with the facts know that it has been with extreme reluctance that I have remained here from the first, and that Ihave always declared my intention to resign the office of Governor, as soon as {t could be done with safety to the public interests. | have re- ceived the most ample assurances of the most cordial approval of Fd course in the Territory by the President and all the members of his Cab- inet, and here I must be a to say that in all my conversation witb the President about Kansas affairs, he has always manifested the deepest concern for the peace and happiness of the country, and a determination that the people of the Territory should bave a fair opportunity at the ballot box. to settle the questions at ixsue before them ju their own way, and without any extraueous influences. Such bas been the char- acter of all his communications to me, whether verbal or written, and while endeavoring to cariy them out in good faith, | have met with no oppe- sition from the moderate men of the Territory, nor from those who have been classed as pro- slavery men ‘The frauds perpetrated at the election In Janu- ary last were committed by the violeat and un- scrupulous men of all parties, and the investiga- tion of them was partisan and partial, Such acts as the forging of the returnsfrom Delaware Cross- ing were paraded before the publie with great gusto, while the d struction of the ballot-box and ballots at Sagar Mound, by Capt Montyom- ery, Was passed by in silence. The actors in all these transactions ought to have been severely punished; but there were no laws that would reach them, and the late Legi: ive Assembly, which was all Free State, made no sufficient laws to meet such cases in future, but endeavored to aralyze the poses of the Cireuit Courts, and nvest the Probate Courts with Powers they could not exercise. You admit that things bave gone on here quietly under my administration. This is not exactly correct ‘here have been some disturbances in Doniphan, Leavenwo th, Lion and Bourbon counties; and in every case the dis- turbances bave been produced by persons calling themselves Free-State men. In Doniphan county, an effort was made to assassinate the gentlemen who were elected to the Legislature on the first Monday in January last, an; » although they es- caped with their lives, they were plundered of their property, and their houses burned No steps bave bern taken to punish the perpetrators, and yet all the county officers were Free-Sta‘e men. be troubles in’ Leavenworth City continued nearly all winter, and if the mayor and other city officers did not encourage them, they certainly took no measures to have them suppressed. in Linn and Bourbon counties all was qui-t unatl Montgomery and his band commenced plunder. ing and driving off the people whe dittered with them in political sentiments; in the course of which they committed some acts, one of which was to drive a farmer from hi. bome, on Feit of death, and then to take the ladies of bis family, strip off all their clothio, and in that coudition compel them to walk back. wards and forwards for their amusement. | passed through the counties where these out- rages were perpetrated, and for som thirt miles it preseuted such a scene of desolation as mever expected to have seen, and hope never again to see in a country inhabited by American eltizens. Is it any wonder that the people on whom such outrages were perpetrated, should become exas- perated? Some three hunded families were thus robbed of their property, driven away from their homes, and compelled to fly from their Territory. About two thirds of them from Linn county, where every local officer was and is a Free State man,after providing places of security for their families, some of the men, meddened and desperate with the treatment they had re- ceived, returned to seek fevenge, and perpetrated the bloody and unjustifiable act of the Marais des Syeness. This was followed. on the part of ontgomery, by setting tire to the town of Fort Scott, in the middle of the night, while the ple were ali asleep, and thea pouring in volleys of rifle ba-is to prevent the people callaguiehicg the flames Although no serious conseqaences resulted from this act, though several persons escaped very narrowly, yet in its inception, I know of nothing worse in the whole history of Mf such an act had been ©, a band of hostile Indians, it a heee sean th:itl of herrer thronghout ar eee Such bave been some of the troubles t Territory, and yet the Perpetsators are beosiod at large without an effort to arrest tuem, in coun- ties where the Free State men have ail the Fa calling cficers, upheld by S*portion of those themselves Free State men.
