And now sEOther act In this strange. aud
melancholy drama has to be related. The
steamer Rs1ry LsSsis, on board Of which these
slave persons pere placed, VAS run into By an.
other steamer some miles below Louisville and
wrecked. and the remaining child Of this vo.
man was drowned all the others ~e believe
were saved, and are perhaps BY this time very
near their destination, GainespOrt. Arkansas.
We stated several days ago that the slavs
woman, who was indicted for murder. was re.
tanned on the estate Of Ar, Gaines, OF Ken.
lucky. and that be pledged bis word as gen.
tlemaD, that she should be given up for trial
here if the Governor Of Kentucky Seesded to
the request Of the Governor Of Ohio. He did
accede to this request, but before it could be
enforced Mr. Gaines had placed bis slave Wo.
man beyond the reach Of the ls.
gal authorities having the requistiOu in hand.
We have been told that Mr.. Gaines had As.
sured Governor MOrehesd that he would not
send the Woman out of the State. and tina; she
should be given up if he should 80 require,
and that Governor MOrebead was very nueh
surprised and chargined when he was made
acqu usinted with that she had been sent of to
Arkansas. This is matter which Mr.. Games,
as an honorable man is bound TO explain.
What course Governor Chase viii nov take.
We know not. nor can We say whether II be.
comes the duty of Governor NOrehesd to de.
mand her return from the Governor Of Arkan.
sAs. or whether that duty rests with Governor
Chase. We firmly believe that neither Of them
will finch from executing his constitutional OBJ.
legations, Il is due the violated laws Of the
sovereign State Of Ohio that the slave woman
who murdered her child should be returned
here to take her trisl, as the crime was com.
mitted on our soil, and 10 violation OfOur laws.'
The Cincinnati Sun. 10 speaking of the fail.
urs Of the Governors RequisisiOn 10 lesurs the
woman, says: 1
at seems that Gaines, Who claimed % Be
an honorable man. after promising to keep the
woman until there was requisitiOn for her.
falsi6ed his word. and having purchased Mar
shals slaves, al once shipped the whole party
to Louisville. and cold them to 60 to Arksnsast
The slaves we're accordingly placed on. the
Henry Ltlrs and taken down the river. but

the Ohio, where 1t was drowned.
The requisilion Was taken TO the Governor Of
Kentucky on Friday night. He requested
uue to examine the papers before complying
With the rsquisitiOn. and in the night the 10.

she could not be found BY Mr.. Cooper. II res

Since writing and seissOing the above We
have been curious to see what che EnTTir~
would say as to this disgraceful false dealing OF
the STAKEHOLDER Gaines. hoping and believing
that the Enquirer would give manly rsbuts
to the dssiardIy violation of pledges on and
after the trial by its slavery patrons, How
woefully any such expectations have osen dis
appointed, can be seen BY the miserable spOl'
ogy that paper attempts in behalf Of this slave
driver Gaines. which says as follows:
"Colonel A. K. Gaines, the owner Of Mar
