Outrage.

On Tuesday afternoon, an old German wo- man, som here between 50 and 60 years of age, was but about four miles on the Preston street plank road. She had been picking black berries, and wls on her way hame with q bas- ket fuIL Losing her way, she stopped at house We could not learn whosc--and asked directions home. Not paying any attention to her age and wearriness, only knowing her to be foreigner, the people of the house had her whipped by the negroes, then took ter berries from her, and set the dogs upon her-how she escaped she does not know. The dogs tore her clothing and her limbs badly--onc leg is torn entirely open. She Is the mothcr-in- law to Mir. Epphart. We have these facts from one who knows what he says to be true.

March last 0~7- FIVE slxTHs of the CITIZENS of KANSAS were in favor of making this territory a slave State. EDny election that has been held in this territory has resulted in the com plete triumph yf prosfave7y principles, and we think this fact alone sufficient evidence to con- vince the most sceptical of the ascendency of the Pro-slavery party in Kansas. The Boston Daily Advertiser and such like corrupt and ta- natical sheets of the IN Nutmeg State" are crow ing most lustily over the result of Rceders sc- cond election in May last, and would fam make the world believe the result of tsat @ election, proved that majority of our people are III la vor of the exclusion of slavery from kansas. It 'is, a we'll known and uncontrOvertible fact that this election was not recognized by the pro. slavery party, and consequently was not noticed by them in the least manner. At a meeting of the citizens in thir territory held at Shawnee Mission-the headquarters of Gov. Reeder--on the 9th of April last with the ob- ject of taking into consideration the course to be pursued by them in the event of a new cleo ton being called, the following resolution, which fully explains in what way the aboli- tionists gained their majority in this so-called electlon was unanimously passed
 | ResolUed, That in the event of new cleo ton by the Governor, we recommend to eue,y lawabiding citizen of Kansas territory not to atte'd said election.
 Ire Pro-slavery party regarded the act of Reeder's calling second election as gross and lntoilerable assumption of executive power and consequently did not recognise it. They staid away from the polls knowing that Reeder had transcended all power delegated him by the | Organic Act, and that the result ofths pseudo election could in no wise invalidate the claims of our members elect to their seats in our Le- lqislative Assembly. In this way-by the pro- Si,'very party not voting-the low and infamous aooI+ionists were enabled to herald the result
 o' this ,lection, as an abolition triumph! It k
 not more han we expected of such corrupt and freacherous beings, who are ever ready to seize upon the met dsreputable means, and tht most contemplate pretexts to conceal thei
 minority and sn@potoacy in Kansas from the pub
 nc. We nave not thu least objection to the
 decking their brows wth all the lau,els they can win of us, but we disrl1e to sec them wea
 aurels they steal Us. We'se!ieve in the goot old adage" HoSoR TO WHOM HoSoR IS DUE"

The route of the 32d parallel will, of course, be much nearer New Orleans and even Char leston; but, it would be unfair to count the distance to these places only, for New York has, unquestionably, become the commercial centre of the United States. In point of fact, therefore, the extreme Northern is the short est, the extreme Southern the longest. But as length is only one element in the construction, let us proceed to the others.

The differences here are not so great as to be decisive. It appears that full two-thirds of the distance on either route must be through a country generally, and sometimes exclusively sterile. This is, in point of fact, the worst fea- ture in a road to connect the Mississippi and the Pacific.
 There are, it is true, small areas of fertile land; but, at best but trite compared with the whole. The proportions are as follows.- Assuming ten miles on each side, Gin long line, altogether too small as the section i'm mediatcly dependent on the road we have these results:

PosT OFFICE RoBBERY.-Mr. Allen
Pinkerton, special agent in the post Of
fee department, arrested a young man
named Theo. F. Denniston, a clerk in
the Chicago post Office. He had been
suspected and the strictest watch kept
on his actions until the mail agent had
discovered justifable proof of his guilt.
When arrested, Denniston betrayed his
guilt by his violent agitation, and by an
effort which he made to throw away a
couple of gold dollars, then in his pos
session. He was conducted to Jail,
where, upon searching him, the officers
found only Sc in bank notes. Officers
Pinkerton and Bulky then went to his
boarding house and searched his apart
ment. In a small portable writing
desk were found 500 in gold, and s35
in paper. They examined his trunks,
but found no money or other thing to
throw any further light upon the matter
of his robberies. The room was also
thoroughly searched, but nothing found.
1t then occurred to officer Pinkerton to
examine certain pictures which hung
upon the walls. On removing the back
board from painted lithograph of "The
Highland Lovers" what should be re-
vealed but a mass of bank notes, care
fully plated beneath it, against the back
of "the lovers" On counting it, the
amount was found to be 5000. "The
Indian Warrior" was found to be the
possessor of 81 900. concealed in like
manner, and "The Virgin Mary" was
delivered of S1.4O0! But, worse than
all else, the sum of $500 was found con-
cealed in the case of a daguerreotype
miniature of Denniston's own motherl
Altogether, the money found in Denni-
ston's room amounted to $3,741.

A STRUGGLE FOR LrFE.-Some one
recently threw large mastiff dog into
the Genesee River, near the Falls, at
Rochester, New York. The Uaio'V
says:
$50 strongly was the sympathy Of
spectators excited in behalf of the poor
brute, that money would have been
freely given for his rescue; but that was
impossible without great risk of hui
man life. But few moments were oc-
cupied in calculating the chances OF the
dog. He resisted with much power the
tide that bore him onward, but all to no
purpose. He passed over the dam, rose
to the surface, and struck out sagaciOus-
ly for one of the piers of the railroad
bridge. He did not reach it, but was
taken swiftly over the Great Falls. The
spectators, or some of them, hastened
to get view of the river below, all
hoping that the dog would yet be saved
from death. And they were not disap-
pointed. In a few minutes after he
went over he was seen to emerge from,
the boiling foam at the bottom Of the
sheet, and strike out for the shore,
which was speedily gained. The spec
tators breathed freer and welcomed the
dog to the shore with shouts of JOY"

DEATH OF A CONVICT IN THE INDIANA
PENITENTIARY AT JEFFERsoNvILLE.-A
man 73 years of age died on Friday
night last, of an affection of the heart,
having performed, on the day previous
to his death, his allotted task in appar-
ent good health. He leaves property
valued at 100000, and was incarce-
rated for the period of two years for the
crime of forgery to the amount of S95!
The old chap was miserly in the ex-
trem., denying to himself the smallest
luxury beyond the prison fare of bread
and water and beefs head broth.
Many anecdotes are related of this
old scamp, which go to mark him as one
of the oddities of his species. At the
time of his arrest for the alleged forgery
he was rendered counsel, who pledged
themselves to clear him of the charge
for fee of $500. To this the old man
replied, that. ''if convicted, the sentence
would only be for tOo years, and he
didn't think he could make his expenses
and two hundred and fifty dollars a
year osa of the penitentiary, and it would
cost him nothing to live there, and he
would save that much any howp'
