Ex-Governor Gearv.

Joseph Ford, of Fountain Grove, Rice County,
Minnesota Territory, publishes letter in the
Chicago Tribune detailing conversation which
he held in Washington few days since, with Ex-
Governor Geary, concerning Kanzas affairs. The
following extracts will be read with interest. Mr.
Ford avows that he was a Buchanan Democrat
when he commenced the conversation, but he had
turned Republican before he ended it, and his
conversion seems to have been approved by the
Governor:
1 have, all my life, been what is called a
National Democrat; and though my territorial
residence forbade me taking any part in the
last Presidential election, my sympathies and
hopes were earnestly for Mr. Buchanan. L
was not, then, as you may imagine, exactly
prepared to hear the tale that Gov. Geary told.
I had looked upon the reports which were
circulated in opposition newspapers, as grossly
exaggerated statements OF occurrences in the
Territory; and, though willing to admit that
the pro- slavery men had been guilty of some
excess, consoled myself with the natural
supposition that the other side was equally to
blame. Even the report of the conversation
of the Governor in the Office of the Missouri
Democrat, looked upon as partizan state.

HE WASHINGTON EPlDEMIC.-From all the
symptoms of the case, in connection with
other facts, we have no doubt that the disease
which led to Mr., Lanes death had its origin
in the ''National epidemic" and that aoas The
effect Of poison. On this point the Philadel-
phia Times says an eminent physician Of that
city, who has had several persons under his
care, seeking relief from the effects of the
mysterious sickness contracted at the Federal
Capital, maintains the theory that it resulted
from premediated attempt to poison the in.
mates of the National Hotel He bases his
opinion upon the fact that none but those who
dned at the public table were attacked and,
as to the story Of the rat. poisoned water it is
refuted, because the tank is only used for
washing, while the drinking water is brought
through pipes from distance. The sickness
originally broke out during Mr.. Buchanan's
first visit to the hotel it ceased when he left
for Wheatland, and upon his return, after a
fortnight's absence, it became again more
violent than ever. The President elect was
warned, by anonymous letters, not to eat or
drink in that house, and under the advice of
friends, although he returned to the hotel
from feeling of regard for its worthy pro.
prieters, he never broke bread nor emptied a
glass in il, until he took up his residence in
the Presidential mansion. Occasional visi.
tors, who did not board there, but used the
bar, were not afflicted, while nearly all the
occupants of the dining-room were more or
less Frustrated. tits revolving idea that such
depravity could find place in human
breast as thus to imperil lite, without regard
to who would be the victims but the medi-
cal gentleman who has laid down this theory
has examined the whole subject most care
fully, and his deduction seems almost irsesist-
ible

CATERS TRIAL In the trial of Charles L.
Cater for the murder Of Scion II. Tenney, the
Warden Of the State Prison, the defence set up
for the prisoner is hereditary insanity; and the
testimony tends to show that the grandfather,
father, mother, sister, and two aunts, of the pris
oner. were insane, or Of unsound mind. Cater
himself does not admit the validity Of the plea
set up by his counsel, but urges the defence that
the Warden drugged his rations, and did no, give
him a sufficient quantity OF meat. The counsel
for the prisoner, having made pretty strong
case Of insanity, rested their defence, on satur.
day, and the government then proceeded to put
in rebuttng testimony. The case will probably
be concluded to-day or tomorrow forenoon.
