Abstract: Let $G$ be a discrete group and $(G,G_+)$ an ordered group. Let $(G, G_F)$ be the minimal quasi-ordered group containing $(G, G_+).$ Let $\Cal T^{G_+}(G)$ and $\Cal T^{G_F}(G)$ be the corresponding Toeplitz algebras, and $\ga^{G_F,G_+}$ the natural $C^*$-algebra morphism from $\Cal T^{G_+}(G)$ to $\Cal T^{G_F}(G)$. This paper studies the connection between Ker\,$\ga^{G_F,G_+}$ and the minimal closed ideal of $\Cal T^{G_+}(G)$. It is proved that if $G$ is amenable and $G_F\not=G_+,$ then Ker\,$\ga^{G_F,G_+}$ is exactly the minimal closed non-trivial ideal of $\Cal T^{G_+}(G)$. As an application, in the last part of this paper, a character of $K$-groups of Toeplitz algebras on ordered groups is clarified.
