Smr—In the letter of your Washington correspondent, published yesterday, I find this paragraph :— The democratic members of the Ohio Legislature have ‘written to Senator Pugh, withdrawing all instructions as (0 how he shal! vote on the Kansas question. Justice to the democratic members of the Ohio Legisla- Cure, as well as to myself, requires that I should contra- dict the statement here made. I have not received any letter “ withdrawing”? the ivstructions to which your cor- res) ‘nt refers. ‘own opinion is that Kansas ought to be admitted im- iately upon the Lecompton constitution, with a desla- ration of the it of amendment, as therein prescribed, et any time.

I have already communicated t» tho Committee on Ter- witories in the Senate a full statement of facts connected ‘with the application of Kansas for admission into the Union as a State. I nee! not repeat those facts in this paper, as they will doubtless reach the public ina few days. It is with reluctance that I refer to matters per- taining solely to the local politics of the Territory in which Z live, and with which, to some extent, 1 have been con- nected; but the various an: contradictory statements that have been made by unscrupulous and irresponsible lottor ‘writers io the public press, touching the discharge of my official Guties as President of the Constitutional Coaven- tion, made the duty imperative. Excitement, conflict and great confusion must necesss- ily attend the organization of government for # comma- wity brought together from all parts of the world, and actuated by different objects, motives aud prejadices. No Territory ever organ zed in the United States has suf- fered more from causes of this character than Kansas. ‘The coufiict aboat the shay ng of our instications, 80 con- ftanuy cirected by persons and parties outaide of the ‘Territory, bas forced within its limite a clase of ion Trom every portien of the Union, most dissimilar in cha acter and with the strongest predisposition to collision. ‘That disorder and confusion, the violation of individual and public rights and duties, should result from sach causes, may be deplored, but’ could not be prevented. Good men have sought the peaceful remeay to these con troversies in the baliot box. Bad men have been go- ‘verned by no scruples as w pubiic or private action. In ‘the periodical addresees put vorth by the law and order or democratic party of Kansas, evory foreign influence has heen repudiated, and very effort mace to procure for Kansas the quiet, peac public policy by the nest expression of the popular will, To the fu extent those recommenda fies have pot provably prevailed with their own party friends, w! in opposition to @ party kpowirg and ting po law, may have been Oriven to the extremity of wrong, and the violation of bic right and duty. but it is uot my object to go ito ull exemination of this subject My object now is place myself right before the public on the subject of the lection returns for menivers of the Legislature in Leaven. worth county, the sta ence to which have Deco wo conflicting end contradictory. On the 13th of January, the day before I opened the returns of the Kaneas elections for and under the consti ‘tution, I was called upon by veral geotiemen from Law- rence, headed by Doctor or Governor Robinson, and asked 4 I would be governed, in determining the result of the election in Leavenworth county, by the sworn statement ‘Of one of the judges of election Bt the precinct kuown as the “Delaware Crossing.’ 1 replied, no—ihat I could mot, and would not, go beliind the clection returns. It ‘was then stated that the question was as to the legality of returns; and fraud was charged, on what information ¥ did not learn, upon the ground that the returns sent to me ‘were not the true returns as approved and signed by the To give the fall opportunity of sub. ‘mitting the tes ony a8 to be logality of the returns, I old the gentiomen that, ay the Legisiature would bave no duties to perform until after the decision of the question of fad miesion, there could be no ueceseity for the immediate fesuance of certificates of elec » in that or any other case, and that the difficulty which they sugzested could, 4u the mean time, be fully investigated. This statement 1 mate the next day inthe presence of tne gentlemen who were present at the opening of the yetarns. I also authoriae v Deaver to state that if the judges of election woul! furnish me, under oath statem nt that the return made was false and fraudulent, 1 would treat such statement & correct retura, tand be governed by it im giving certificates of elegtion. Iknew nothing of the Delaware Crossing retarna, only that public rumor had given to the democratic party @ majority at that preciact of some three or four huadred I supposed the returns from that precinet were in my office, and was undeceive ooly when oll the reterns were opened and they were not foun’. These returos were of great importance, as they determined not only the poiiti- ‘oul complexion of Leavenworth county, but of both branches of the Logisiature. As they stood at the open- Jog of the returns, without the Delaware Crorsing vote, the repaulicans had a msjority in Leavenworth county, ‘and consequently a mujority of both branches of the Tegisiature In order to ascertain the truth, I sent 2 messenger to Lhat precinet to see the judges of election and learn the facta as to the charge of fraud in the return.

Every day discloses some new method practised by officeholders to extort money from the public treasury. ‘When we think that one spigot is closed up, we find another stream running in torrents through the bung hole. While the Legisiature are quibbling about the expense of half a dozen extra copies of the report of the Regents of the University, or some other equally valuable public docu ments, office holders under the State government are drawing tens of thousands from the treasury under some construction of law. The latest matter of this kind which has become exposed, ia the mileage charged by and paid tw the Canal Appraisers. From a recent report of the ‘Auditor it appears that the sum of three thousand five hundred and eighteen dollars and fifteen cents bas been paid for their travelling expenses during the past year. Mr. Hale received twelve hundred and forty.one dollars and eighty cents, Mr. Parmiee thirteen hundred and q@pe dollars and sixty ceuts, Mr. Wasson nine Bundred and eeventy-four dollars and ninety-five cents. This is besides compensation for services ren- dered the State in deciding upon canal claims. Now, take Mr. Parmleo’s charges, which are the highest. It appears that the sum of $1,301 60, at fivecenta per mile, he must have travelled during the year 260,032 miles, or about 90 miles per day for 300 working days. Who be- lieves a word of this? The people would like a specific account of this matter from some public officer where such travelling records are kept.

He stated that be bad the confidence to believe that the alterations which he intended to propose would be generally concurred in. As this is the first movement on this subject on the republican side of the Legiviature, some anxiety is manifested to ascertain what iMetchiord, Oakey Hall, Nye and Bowen want to alter or amend.

Another Meeting of the Creditors of the Bay State Mills. {From the Boston Journal, Feb. 17.) A meeting of the creditors of the State Milla was beld in the Merchants’ Bank building forenoon, for consuitation in regerd te persons to be recommended to the Supreme Court as receivers or trustees. Mr. Howe, of the frm of Blake Howe & Co, presided; and after stating the object, read a potition asking the Court to ap- pout Mesars. Wiliiam Appleton, F. B. Crowinshield and lereel Whitney. Toe signatures of this paper represent claims to the amount of ,000. Mr. Howe said another question was, in what shape this matter should be brought before the Court, and read a #tatemer ¢ which he had drawn up addressed to the Court, which repregented that the names on the petition repre- sented a large majority of the claims againstthe Bay State Mills, which wore la & condition to be proved in a Court of Insolvency; and urging that tho creditors’ in- torest in the matter was the preponderate interest, aud Whe interest of the stock holders was a remote one. In order to do ro injustice to the stockholders the cre- ditors recommend the pane of Mr. Crowninshield, a stockholder, and the author of the recent Investigating Committce’s report, as one of the recetvors. The other gentlemen rece mmended are we!l known for their ability aud strict integrity. A motion was made and carried that the names of the geptiemen named be recommended to the Court for re ceivers, aad thatthe chairman be requested to furward the petition, with the statement of Mr. Howe, to the Court. Mr. Kichard 8. Fay, who represents a claim of $16,000, objected on the ground that a mestivg of committees of directors, stockholders and creditors, bad agreed upon arotber ticket for receivers, and he saw no reason for changing the ticket. He wanted the petition presented in such @ manner as would give the Court the right impres- sion that it represented only those who signed it, and not all the credit rs. ‘ire Choir said it would be #0 presented. The meeting then dixsvived. Tux Accipent ON tik New Youu Conrran Raitxoan —The paseengers on the train which tet fwith the ac: ident at Canastota yesterday morning, arrived here last evening. Among them we found one of our citizens, L.

The train came westward, and whon rear Canastota, just before daylight, it was thrown from the track by the breaking of arail. The train consisted of locomotive, tender, baggage car and three passenger cars, The locemotive kept the track and sustained po injury, but the cars were thrown off and considerably broken. Tho train was running at the usual speed, and the accident occurred on an embankment seven or eight feet bigh. ‘The cars were turned over, all the windows were broken, and in the ceotre car, in which Mr. Chapin rede, only six or seven seats remained fast to the floor No person is supposed to be fatally injured though a number suffered considerably, aud all were | more or lees bruised or shocked. The train contained seventy one passengers, including only six females.
