lucky.

The people Of Coving.on are continuing to make
reprisals upon the Cincinnatians for the trouble
and expense they occasioned those worthy kidnap-
pers, Marshall and Gaines, in securing their cs-
capped chattels. They are now very magnanimous-
ly venting their spleen upon the free colored people
of Ohio, who chance to visit Covington in prosecu-
ton their legitimate business. Since the return of
the Slaves our readers will remember that they
have in a sneaking and ~cOwardly manner assaulted
and cruolly beaten q Reporter Of one Of the Cincin-
natl Daily papers while in the discharge of his or
binary duties, that they seized, imprisoned and
fined an honest ~drayman who went over with a load
Of goods for one Of their railroads, and threatened
to treat all others Of the class in the same manner
who shall under any circumstances visit their State
from Ohio. They are doubtless stimulated to this
by the consideration that, in their own elegant die
ton, 'they have the damned Abolition State under
foot" This too is their method of keeping her in
that subject position. In prosecuting this pur-
pose Of continued insult to our State and our citi,
zens, they last week imprisoned and fined another
old resident Of Cincinnati without even the allega-
ton of any offence. We copy the account which
the Cincinnati gazette gives of The transaction
ARREST OF A FREE MAN IN CONVICTION.

Ly tie Return Of Gaines SiareS.
Everybody knows Founten Lewis, the foreman
in the Old Frcnchman (Ferrie's) Barber-shop, on
Fourth street, 3 doors westof Main. He has been
there II or II years. Yesterday, Lewis had a
check on the Farmers Bank of Kentucky, from Mr..
Swegert, of Frankfort. lie offered it at a Bank
here, but it was refused, and he went over to the
Bank in Covington and collected it. As he was
return;ng,h he was arrested on the levee by two men,
who said he had mo business there no how" and
demanded his free papers. DIR. Il. ID. Wheeler,
Dentist, whose Office is on Sixth street, near Elm,
stepped up and vouched for Lewis he had known
him as a free man for II years-but they seemed
to look upon him as an Abolitionist, because he
lived in Ohio, and would not take his testimony.
Lewis then said he knew a Covington lawyer, by
the name Of Stevenson, and Mayor Foley, and
would go with them to either of them. They
said that wasn'nt their business. lie must go t.
Jail.
DIR. Wheeler then demonstrated with the Cap
tam of the ferry boat for not saying a word fU
Lewis, as he knew he had taken him over, or fU
not having told him that he would he in DANCE
there. I4e replkd brutally 81 don't care n d
about IL. They can go over when they please, pro
vided they pay me tthree cents)-the hi of
is to get back"
DIR. Wheeler came over on the boat, but tn
: Kentuckians on board manifested so much indiFer
ence about the kidnapping Of a free man, that b
felt that Lewis wonld find no one to take his par
there, and I've proposed to Mr.. Skeen, that the
o should 20 back together and try to get him Out
o They applied to the iailor but he refused to do an
It thing. They then soughi the Mayor.
E Mayor Foley told them the law under whic
