For the Pioneer.
TO THE PUBLIC.


Just as the undersigned expected, the doughty
Editor of the Democrat backs out from expos
ing, as he was requested to do, the many
complaints which he affirmed had been made
against us, on account of our management OF
the roads. We knew very we'll that no such
complaints had ever been made to him, or that
they would not bear the Light The gentle
mans tactics of high swelling words, and of
doughty deeds to be effected through his great
influence in the Territory and at Washington,
have caught, doubtless to their sorrow, some
gulls; but fortunately we have been so near
the gentleman as probably to understand him
better than he understands himself, and hence
the ease with which he can be disarmed.
Mr.. Emerson says he "leavcs the verdict in
this matter, with the people of the Territory
most conversant with the management of these
roads, Be it so, and in order to full appre.
citation of the whole matter, and to show the
an,mus of the gentleman in making the charges
of which he has been so prolific, we will, in our
next number give to the public copy of the
letter of the Hon. II. NJ. Rice, to the Secreta-
ry of War, praying for our removal, and the
appointment of Mr.. Emerson in our ace to
be followed by a copy of the correspondence
thereupon ensuing with the War Department

The Kansas Pioneer, a pro-slavery paper
published at Kickapeo City, notices the ar
rival Of Gov. Reeder into the Territory, in
any but flattering manner, as follows:
Gov. REEDER's Notwithstanding
all the dissatisfaction this man has given in
Kansas, he has positively returned to the Ter
ritory in time for the meeting of the Legisla-
ture.
How long Gov. Reeder will persist in being
the Executive OF people who do not want
| him, remains to be seen. How obstinate, how
mulish he is. President Pierce shows as bad
judgment as Reeder does sense, in not turning
nim out. But what better can we expect
from freesoil President? 1t is to be hoped
that in 1856 some one will be promoted to the
Presidential Chair who will have the maniness
and independence to discharge the duties of a
President without showing partially to Gov
Reeder or Governor any body else, but regard
the wishes OF the majority of the people,
Reeder can never be an acceptable man in this
Territory his course has been too arbitrary ;
the people will never be satisfied with him.
We are surprised that he so obstinately hangs
on, when the Squatter Sovereigns would much
rather sec hemp hung around bis neck.
Inc editor Oh the Fa0'ieer, Mr.. Allen Is.
Hazard, in the same paper, announces
himself as candidate for Delegate to Con-
gress, and very modestly says:
We are sensible there are other men in the
territory who are as deserving of the honor to
be conferred as ourself, but, at the same time
we consider that we have as much claim upon
the pro-slavery party as any man in the Terri.
tory; however, those who are acquainted with
us will not doubt that. We are fully persuad-
ed that we can do as much for Kansas in Con.
gress as any other man, and if elected we shall
prove to our constituents what we now have
the boldness to assert .e
Ii that editor doesn't get along, it will
not be tor the want of brass in his face
which, nowadays, seems to be about the
best capital to go on. .-

SHoEs-We were amused, the other day
at friend from the east, who was spend

more to wonder at than be did in New
York during his first visit to that city. He
little expected to see the life and activity
which mark the streets of st. Paul. But
the most remarkable thing to him was to
find that the ladies wore shoes and shaacls
instead Of moccasons and blankets! Said
he intended to make notice of that fact,

MY DEAR SIR:-Some few weeks since the Pho
neer newspaper. published in this city, contained two
editorial articles attacking my public and private
character, which surprised the public less than
myself. Runors from various sources have reached
my ears, that these articles published with your
knowledge and appreciation, and were intended to
sever the tie of personal and political friendship
derstood to exist between / neither have here.
toio,e do now, attach any degree of credit to
such rumors; yet proper sef-espect would seem to
require that should address you this note, asking
Tor such reply will place the matter in its true

Hoping to receive such an answer as will serve to
set this idle gossip at rest,
am, very kindly, your friend and obd,t serv't.,

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.A young, beau
tiful and accomplished French lady, named
Adele B. Mason, committed suicide on
Monday night, at her residence, No. 156
st. Louis street., by taking laudanum. An
inquest was held yesterday, when we OBJ
tanned the following information relative to
the sad affair. 1t seems that Mrs Mason
had been married to her husband in France,
about two years since, and came to this
country shortly after. In little time after
their marriage she noticed signs of en-
arrangement on his part, which finally devel.
oped themselves i'll absol te neglect and in.
suit, AND about two weeks ago he left her
Tor France having previously declared that
he should never return The poor wife,
who was tenderly attached to him, took his
desertion very much to heart, and was rem
dered very unhappy by it.
On Monday night about 81 o'clock, be-
ing in company OF three young ladies of her
acquaintance, she told them now tired she
was Of ''life's fitful fever" and said very
mysteriously that she should not live long,
and as she left the room bid them an affec-
tionate good bye, observing that they shou d
not perhaps meet in this life. About o.
clock the inmates of the house were awak-
ened by groans from Mrs. Masson's apart.
ment. Upon entering her room they found
her lying on her bed just in the agonies OF
death. An empty laudanum ph;al standing
on the table near where she was lying, told
how death had been produced. Every et.
fort was made to save her but to no avail,
for she died few minutes after. The fa-
tai poison had been bought by her the same
evening at a drug store at the corner OF
Royal aud st LOUIS streets. This unfortu-
nate lady, who has thus come to such mel
ancholy end, was native of France, and
was ~ years of age.-,N. o. Bee, goth.

Anecdotes Of Trials.

In the autumn of 1912, man, named Des-
Jardlns, was tried in France, as an accomplicc
with Louve, the assassin of the Duke de Berr.
DeSjardins confessed himself guilty of The
crime; but, on his defence, conterded that his
confession ought not to be used against him,
because he was so notorious a liar that no one
would credit q word be said. He then brought
forward troupe of friends and relatives to
prove this. They all testified to his bad char
acter in this respect, and the jury returned
verdict OF mot guilty"
Irish criminal history furnishes case aIrnost
Identical. A man on trial for highway rob-
berry, cried out from the dock that he was gull
ty; the jury. nevertheless, returned yetdics
OF not guilty" The astonshed Judge cx-
| CLAIMED, Good God gentlemen, did you not
near The nan himself declare that he was gull
~! The foreman replied I'VE did, my
lord and that was the very reason we ncquit-
tea hlni Tor we knew he was so uotorious a
liar that he never told u wore. Of truth in his
liie."
We may mention in this connection a cpt.
ting remark Of Webster to witness, who
stated that he might have said more in his tes-
tlmony, but he thoaght he had done we'll in
keeping 1t to himself 1T was OF no conse-
quence,' said the great man, 1.-THE jury did
not believe word you did say"
Levnz reports case in tie Kings BEECH,
wherein the jury, rot agreeing, cast lots 70,
their verdict, and gave it according to 10. fc.
which, upon the motion of Levnz, the verdict
was set aside, and the jury were ordered to at.
tend next term to be fined"
Cooke cites case wherein the prisoner, ac-
cused of murder, appealed and rested his de-
ience on the ground that the deceased had
highly provoked him by mocking him in his
gait and speech. The opinion given by the
bench was, that the crime was murd.r. The
jury dellberated for some time and finding the
could not agree upon verdict, came to the
following understanding "'that they should
bring IN and offer their verdict not guilty, aid
II the courts dlslikcd thereof, that ther hey
should all change thtir verdict, and find him
guilty Accordingly they returned verdict
mot guilty" The astonished court refused to
receive it, and sent them back, wbercuLon
they rendered q verdict of guilty"
The faithful Boswell in his anecdotes of
Or. johnson, relates that, during JchnsoG's vis-
it to Scotland, person was executed to rlesse
his laird. Before the heritabe Jurisdictions
were abolished, a man was tried for his lie IL
the court of one of the chefains. Tic Jury
were going to bring him in net guilty. but
somebody whispered them, that the Young
LAIRD had never seen an execution, upon which
their verdict was death and the mau was
hanged accordingly"
