THE KANSAS RECORD.


From the Albany Evening journal.
Awaiting themselves of the fact that
the rumors Of the alleged death OF DIR.
Root, Gen. Pomeroy, and Mr.. Mitchell,
the shooting Of Jones, and the killing of
"eicht pro slavery men" now prove to
have been unfounded, the doughfaces
boldly characterize all statements of out
rages in Kansas as +" Republican lies"
That there have been falsehoods as
well as truth sent over the telegraphic
lines by the Missourians. who have charge
Of them. is unquestionable. But these
false statements do not invalidate or di-
minish the real catalogue of crime. To
enable our readers to keep the latter in
memory, we subjoin below list of
few occurrences. which are authenticated
by legal evidence, and which are not even
attempted to be denied. There are FIVE
times as many similar ones reported, and
tolerably well authenticated. but we wait
until they shall be officially confirmed be-
fore adding them to the list.
