A Heartless Wretch

A fellow. who gave his name as L.
d. Cook. from Alquina. went few
days ago. to the neighborhood of
Pennsylvaniaburgh. and reported to
the Sands family, that one of the
brothers, Jefferson Sands. had died
near Alquina, the day before. and re-
quested, on his death bed. to be
brought home to be buried. One
brother and neighbor was sent for
the corpse. and messenger despach.
ed to Ohio for two brothers living
there, and another to Napoleon. for
two brothers living there, and the
neighbors met the next day and dug
a grave, and awaited the arrival of the
corpse, but when the messengers re-
turned, they brought the strange.
but gratifying intelligence that Jeffer-
son was alive and well--had not been
sick. Meanwhile Cook had left, we
know not whittier. after imposing on
the landlord, by saying that he had
Dough. the Hack line from Brookville
to Spades. and would call again
and settle his bill. No cause is known
for his thus trifiing with family to
whom he was stranger. He is GER
tainly vicious man, and the public
should be cautioned against him. We
can not think Of an act such man
would not be guilty of. We would
not trust him with an unlocked stable.
There is evidently gang of horse
thieves in this vicinity. Whether he
belongs to it or not, we leave the
reader to judge. We do not know
that the above is his real name-we
presume not.

News from Kansas

Several Of the Free State prisoners
confined at recu mseh, have made
good their escape; they are pursued,
however. and may be retaken. On
the other hand, Hays, the murderer of
Buffum, whose arrest by Governor
Geary after he had been released on
bail was the cause Of the recent quar-
rel between that functionary and
Judge Lecompte. has once more been
set OF liberty by the Judge. in defiance
Of the Governor. II is said that the
latter submits quietly to this new de-
monstration on the part. Of Lecompte.
He is also about to lose his assistant
in the arrest Of Hays, as Col. Titus,
the great Border Ruffisn leader. who
rendered that service to the Governor,
is about to leave Kansas, for the more
congenial fields Of Nicaragua. A free
passage is offered from St Louis to
whoever wishes to take service under
Walker. Governor Geary has been
denounced at meeting of Border
Rufiians, at which Mr.. Surveyor-Gen-
eral Calhoun occupied the chair. The
occasion Of this seems to have been
found in Geary's dispute with Le-
compile and Donaldson, and in the
fact that several Pro.Slavery men
have at last been indicted by the
Grand Jury. The letter from Mr..
Clements. on our first page. will be
read with some interest.

Horse Recovered.

From the NO. Delta, November %,
The New Southern Party"-Tone
of an Ultra Southern Organ.

Regrets are useless; the question for
to day is, what must I've done to main
tain the present security, and "organ-
ize the future?" The confusion OF the
election is over; the result is known;
Jones is sure Of his Office, Brown IS
satisfied. and Robinson smiles appro-
val from under his Democratic NOUS
tache-so the time for solid work has
arrived. And. in our humble opinion,
we can do nothing better than immi-
tate the North, by preserving the same
attitude which we assumed before the
election, or. in other words, by not
stacking our arms, butIhandling them
deity as ever Instead of waiting for
events to develop themselve in Kan
sas. we should make events, by encour-
aging Southern emigration and secu-
ring her admission on a Slavery basis.
What is James Buchanan to us if we
lose Kansas? Will venerable coun-
tenance in the White House remuner-
ate US for the creation of free State
on the flank Of Missouri, and threat
eningly overhanging Texas? Further
more, we should assert promptly and
determinedly the noble work in which
William Walker is engaged. knowing
that 1t is our cause at bottom-help
him onward, step after step. with mo-
ney. with men, with voice and hand,
until a portion, at least, Of his mag
ni6cent programme is achieved At
home our leading statesmen and inde-
pendent journals should unite in har-
monious concert-with one hope, one
aim. one destiny, striving for the or
ganization Of healthy public opinion
in the South, such as the revolutionists
described as "opinion with a helmet
on its head, and long sword by its
side" Reason is a great power in
the modern world, but armed reason is
invincible. 1t is unnecessary to add,
that if we permit the respite. like Car
lyle's "blue day." to come and go
without result, to "pass useless away"
we deserve the contempt which our
Northern contemporaries are so ready
TO lavish upon us. We must organize

ganization-and we must do so at
once.

they mean IL, that slavery shall not
extend further. Again
such was the state of this cues
ton. when the time arrived for the
organization of the Territories Of Kan
sas and Nebraska. In the progress Of
constitutional inquiry and reflection, il
had. now at length come to be seen
clearly that Congress does not pos
sess constitutional power to impo.s
restriction of this character upon any
present or future State Of the Union.
In long series Of decisions, on the
fullest argument. and after the most
deliberate consideration, the Supreme
Court of the United States had inally
determined this point, in every form
under which the question could arise,
whether as affecting public or private
rights-in questions Of the public do
main, of religion. of navigation. and
Of servitude."
If the devil gave his hat when the
president uttered the falsehood that
Republicans wished to abolish slavery
in the states, he must have given his
horns and tail at this. No such de-
cision was ever made, and no other
man than Franklin Pierce ever dared
to uttered il, except. we believe, Law
yer Hubbard Of Bear River. and we
think he merely gave il as his opinion,
that it should be made. II there was
such an opinion. is 1t not strange that
Buchanan should say in I848 81
cling 10 the Missouri Compromise with
more tenacity than ever ?" Such
decision would have ended the contro-
versy before it began, but no such
decision was ever made. To "cling''
to an unconstitutional measure, would
make Buchanan either a fool or a
nave.
But it is useless to examine this
strange document further. A cause
that can be sustained only by such
measures. must be rotten, and a man
who will condescend, in a message, to
falsiiy the history of his country, for
the support of such a cause. is SO far
gone as to be despised by honest men.

On the 9th inst, Mary Howard,
relic Of the late John Howard, aged
about SO.
At her residence in Brookville, on
Friday, the 9th day Of Dec, 1856,
at quarter after II o'clock, p. NJ,
Mrs. Elizabeth BLY,, widow Of John
BLY,.
Mrs. Bly,, whose maiden name was
Breakbill, was born in the State OF
Pennsylvania. April 25th. 1893. AT
an early age she removed with her
parents to the State Of Ohio. where
she was married in the year 1907.
With her husband she resided in that
State until about the year 1894, when
they moved to Blooming Grove, and
after remaining there a short time,
came to Brookyille. where she contin-
ued to reside, until her death. She
joined the M. E. Church in the year
1891, Of which she continued q con-
sistent and worthy member to the last
hour Of her life. Feeble health, and
age for several years past, have pre-
vented her from mingling in society
but seldom leaving home. except to
visit and comfort the sick. All who
knew her intimately, loved her, and
were grateful for her many acts Of
kindness in times Of affection. Ii is,
unfortunately too much the fashion
among mankind. to appear outwardly,
much better than they really are. 1t
was not SO with Mrs. Bly,; she was
much better than a casual observer or
stranger would take her to be. She
was no hypocrite-when she spoke
she said what she thought. aud when
she acted. did that which she thought
was right, regardless Of the opinions
Of others. She was n warm and firm
friend to those who were worthy Of
her respect. But the most prominent
trait. probably in her character. was to
show the mos. friendship to those who
most needed friends-thus reversing
the common practice. Of showing the
most 10 those who need the least.
The writer OF this notice was glad
10 number her among his earliest and
most stcadfast friends. and will con.
,ipue to the day Of his death. to re.
member with gratitude her many acts
Of kindness In times Of sore afilic-
ton. Il. u.
