Kansas and the Know Nothings:

strong, have proclaimed that Atchison.
Sringfellow, and their band of rufians,
were know Nothings, and not Demo-

decidedly the coolest specimen of impu-
dence, and unblushing e%ffrontry, that
has yet come within our sphere of obser-
walton. To make false assertions, and
statements, where it is difficult to ascer-

TO make so reckless an assertion as this /;
one, which not only they who speak it,

Tod and Victory.

Dave Tod was in Columbus a few days
since to make a speech. The St1te
Journal says of the izzle, that LOcofo-
coism must be on its last legs in this city.
The poor, miserable, wretched remnant
of A broken down party, had the mean
ness to interfere with the Soap mans
crowd last evening on the State House
square.
The soap man in disposing of his wares
had drawn quite a crowd around him
and was picking up a nun err Of dimes,
when the RATS in the Row" in hopes of
III hing a little political capital out OF the
Soap mans crowd, ran over to The Amer
lean after Dave Tod, and borrowing a
couple of tallow candles, they put up the
sickly light on top of a rough stand, and
seated Tod and Victory behind it, and
then pressed the German Band into the
service, in hopes of drowning the voice
of the Soap man. But the Soap man
continued to speak in praise of his soap,
and the music of the Band couldn't be-
gin to drown the voice OF the Soap man.
Dave Tod saw at once he stood a poor
chance with his rival, and whispering to
his deluded friends that he could not
speak in the open air. he fled inglOrious
" from the stand, and left the State
House square in possession Of the Soap
man.
So Tod and Victory, AMI the Rats,
and a few others, retired to the City
HILL, half a mile off, where Dave Tod
made his speech to a few victims, who
came very near being roasted for their
folly in staying to hear him. Think OF
Hon. Dave Tod, Tod and Victory, Elk

who danced with the Empress OF Brazil,

Inhuman Conduct Shocking Cruelty to

a negro n 1enneSSee.
We find the following in the New York
Times. from a correspondent whose let
ter is dated at Franklin, Tennessee, Seq
TENDER Goth -
A most sickening tragedy occurred
three miles from this place on Monday
and Tuesday last, which throws the ic-
tiuious performances in "Uncle Toms
Cabin entirely in the shade. A noto-
rious woman named Ellen Borden, hav-
ing mad he, jealousy aroused, on Mon
day last, by the conduct of her husband
toward Il negro employed in her
house, began on Monday to whip and
torture the woman, and persevered in
her cruelty until some time next day,
when the negro died. When the fact of
her death became known, a Coroner's
inquest was held, and a warrant issued
for the arrest of the murderess.
The preliminary trial is now going on,
and from testimony elected upon it, there
seems to be no doubt that the negro was
made to endure the most a full tortures
for nearly two days before she was killed
outright.
She was first tied and whipped, boil
ing water was poured over the abdomen
and legs until the skin was all scalded
off and the fatty tissue cooked, leaving
the muscles bare she was her t ken
into a smoke house and locked up. and
probably ON the next day the remaining
injuries were inflicted, which put an end
to her misery.
The last injuries were the hanging of
the negro by a rope attached to a 10 ce
in the smoke house. and a severe blow on
the temple with some pointed instrument
which pierced and fractured the skull.
On a post norton examination the
neck was found to be broken. the back
part of the head badly bruised and two
other gashes with the same sharp instru
ment on the head. The back was also
found To be considerably scalded, though
not 50 badly as the front part of the body
The woman Borden, made no attempt
TO escape, and exhibits perfect inditfer-
ence about the affair. The excitement in
the town is very great.
