THE OWNER OF DRIED ScoTT.-Dred
Scott was formerly the slave of DR.. Emer-
son Of Missouri, who died several years
since. John F. A. Sanford of this city
(recently deceased was his EXECUTOR, and
we presume did in that capacity what he
believed his duty as an honorable, upright
man. Finding Dred Scott enumerated
among the legal chattels of the deceased,
he resisted the claim of Dred to be declared
free by Jaw, and the Courts of Missouri and
of the United States have-we think most
unjustly-overruled Dred's claim to be his
own master. We do not know that any
body ever blamed Mr.. Sanford for his
course in the premises.
Mrs. Emerson, the widow of DR.. Emer-
son, is now the wife of the Hon. 9. G..
Chaffee, an Anti-Slavery member of Con-
gress from Massachusetts,, and with her
daughter, Miss Emerson, inherits i the
property. of her deceased. husband. We
presume the larger portion goes TO the
daughter, the smaller to the mother; but
we know nothing on that subject. But,
until the executor shall have concluded has
labors in the premises, the estate is that oi
the deceased DR.. Emerson and his alone.
That it neither is nor is to beat least, so
long as Miss Emerson survives-that ol
Mr.. Chaffee, nobody who knows anything
of law or equity can pretend to doubt.
And yet DR.. Chaffee has been assailed,
from one end of the country to the other,
as the owner of Dred Scott, therefore the
real party in defendant for his liberty, and
responsible for his continuance in bondage
In fact, he was utterly ignorant that Drec
Scott existed, down to the present year
and even Mrs. Chaffee, to whom he hac
been servant, supposed him dead through
out last year, and was only apprised II
February, 1857, that the Dred Scott abou
whom the great law suit was going on il
the Supreme Court, was the slave of hel
deceased husband. He has been left tt
himself since Dr. Emerson's death.) Re
Gently, Mrs. Chaffee and Miss Emerson
having relinquised all their right and til
to him, and DR.. Chaffee, to render th
emancipation perfect beyond cavil, ha
also signed the release or quit claim.
The statement of these facts-which w
make on our own responsibility t.
be required by the systematic calumn
which forms the main reliance of the Pro
Slavery press. Unable to defend their ow
principles, they devote their columns t
, b!ackening the reputation of their oppo
nents. How inconclusive and irrevelan
is this kind of logic, we need hardly urge
but it could not be so steadily persiste
, in if it were not supposed to have som
q effect--N. Y. Tribnne.

HANGING OF WARD, THE MuRD1Rr

HANGING OF WARD, THE MURDERER
AND WEE BURNER, AT TOLEDO, ON THE
18TH 1NsT.-The Cleveland Leader has a
report of the execution at Toledo, on FRI
day, the 18th inst, of R. j. M. Ward, who
killed his wife and burned her body in
February last, in the village of Sylvania,
near Toledo. 1t appears that he made a
complete confession to one of his counsel,
Mr.. Fuller, wherein he acknowledged not
only the killing of his wife deliberately and
with premeditation, but the murder OF
two other persons, many years since, the
first, store-keeper named Hall, at Rich
land, Ohio, whom he murdered on the
eve of his (Hall's) departure for New
York, supposing him to have in his pos
session considerable amount Of money
The second, peddler, at Richland, who
had stopped with Ward, who was ther
keeping tavern, for the night. For thes'
murders he was not arrested, although
suspicion fell upon him. The woman t
whom he was married at the time of hi
FIRST murder, was 80 sure of his guilt, tha
she became insane under the tormentinj
thoughts such knowledge created, and ]
now an inmate of lunatic asylum.

WILLIAM K1ssANE, THE FoRGER.-In our
yesterdays issue. we published an account
of the shooting of soldier in Nicaragua,
by Col. Rogers, who was in command
of rank of men chosen to carry out the
sentence of death upon the victim. 1t is
now said that Col. Rogers and William
Kissane, we'll known in this city, as a
swindler, forger, and the chief leader In
the Martha Washington conspiracy, are
one and the same person. We are not
inclined to doubt it, as we should suppose
such dastardly act would need just such
a perpetrator. Kissane made himself no
torious by his rascality in this quarter o.
the Union, and we presume he has placed
the cap sheaf on his exploits by his career
under Walker, of whom, it is said, he was
the bosom friend.-Cin. Times.

ANorHER Fue1r1vE SLAVE CAsE.-oI

ANOTHER Fue1TIvE SLAVE CAsE-On
Saturday morning last, some deputy U. 5.
Marshals arrested two runaway slaves on
Vine st., near Fourth, Cincinnati-a man
and his wife-the property of Col. With
ers, of Covington, KY. They were secre-
ted in room occupied by W. M. Connolly
one of the reporters for the Cincinnati
Commercial. The room was surrounded
by officers. AS deputy Marshal j. G. Ell
lott was entering the room, he was stabbed
twNe in the breast. The Others rushed
in and shot the negro in the abdomen
They were then captured and taken before
Commissioner Newhall, who at once re-
manded them to their master, and they
were accordingly returned to Covington.
1t is thought the Marshal and slave will
both recover. g''t,

them for the use of steamer, or to do
something else for his relief. Upon read

COLUMBUS, June 13.-W. H.. Gibson
resigned his Office to-day as Treasurer of
State. The Governor has appointed A. P.
Stone, of this city, to fill the vacancy.
A deficit of $3.50, 900 has been discov-
cred to exist in the treasury, which Mr..
Gibson says existed when he came into
office, and was caused by the dedication
of the former Treasurer, John G. Breslin.
The Governor has appointed William
Dennison, Jr., of this city. to make, in
conjunction with the Auditor, or one oi
his clerks, full examination into the con-
dition of the Treasury.
The July interest, notwithstanding this
deficit, will be paid, sa 45.

The telegraph Announces that Seth Kin
man, the California hunter, who lately
presented the President with chair inge-
niouslv made of bucks horns, has been
rewarded for his compliment and his pres
ent by an Office in the service of the Indian
Department worth s. 300 year. This is
an invitation to bribery and corruption on
a small scale which will by no means go
unheeded-a hint which will soon fill our
cunning Presidents trap with all sorts of
game, great and small, from horses and
carriages and grand pianos and chandeliers,
down to boots, shoes, hats, gloves, pocket
handkerchiefs, and perhaps scissors, nee
dies and thimbles for Mrs. Buchanan that
is to be. Perhaps, indeed, considering
how much larger the demand for office is
than the supply, the President would do
well to set them up at auction, after the old
French fashion. So far as the capacity and
responsibility of the appointees go, there
is certainly not much to be lost by selling
the offices outright.-N Y. Tribune.

Great Excitement IN San Antonio,
Texas = Desperate Fight with
Robbers. I'

The San Antonio Texas papers Of the
30th ult., are filled with the most exciting
accounts of a recent dreadful encounter
with band of ruffians in that city, during
which five pei sons were killed and one
wounded. AS our readers well know,
there has been for long time past des-
perate gang Of thieves, robbers and house
breakers hanging about San Antonio,
whose repeated villainies we have almost
weekly recorded. On the night of the
29th, it seems, q horrible murder was COM
mitted but few miles below the town.
The wife of one Mr.. Cara was killed in
her own house by some seven or eight as
sassins, and the house then robbed of
money and yaluables. A reward of $500
was offered next morning for the appre-
hension 4of the murderers,. and Sheriff
Henry, with a posse, hastened to the place
of the bloody scene. The Texan, OF the
18th ult., adds 1,0
About 12 o'clock gang of some dozen
desperadoes had collected in the city on
he west side of the river, many of them
in darkened room, as sort of resort for
the moment. Here the shooting COM
menced between the desperadoes and some

one of the desperadoes, and was shot
through the head by another.
At this awful juncture, Jim Taylor, than
whom braver man never lived, gave or
ders to some three Of his comrades to fol-
low him-and at the same moment he
broke through the window into the dark
ened room. AS he entered, Bill Hart, a
notorious character, shot him through the
breast, and at the same moment a gun
was pointed at Bill Hart by another person,
when Taylor exclaimed, 'he has shot me
let me shoot him." and fired. Both fell
Citizens commenced rushing in well armed
as we'll as many of the desperadoes, and
the shooting became general. The gang
of rowdies broke from the room by a bacl
door; many of them who came up after tht
melee commenced, Immediately fled
finding that they were coming to close
quarters.
By this time at least some three hun
dred citizens had collected, all well armed
for it was known that this gang of row
dies could have at their command seventy
five or one hundred men within ffteel
minutes. Many of them came in sight
but very wisely withdrew. Five person
were killed, two citizens and three Of tn
desperadoes. Taylor may recover.

EE Capt. Davis gives a straight-for-
ward and business-like account of his op-
erations connected with the escape of
Walker and his remnant of Flllibusters
from Nicaragua. Aware that Lockridge
and his brother Fillibusters on the Allan
tic side had utterly failed in their efforts
to reopen their communications with their
chief, and had finally and utterly aban-
doned the attempt as hopeless-in fact,
knowing that Walker himself must be as
sured Of this by Titus, who had himself
headed the San Juan Fillibusters in their
successful attempt to ouCrun the Costa
Ricans after his inglorious failure before
one of the forts on the river-aware that
Walkers effective force was reduced be-
low three hundred, while he had famishing
horses and mules left sufficient to subsist
even this small band but few days longer
Davis knew that Walker and all his party
must inevitably surrender or be cut to
pieces within the next fortnight. General
Mora, having the game so completely in
his own hands, was of course wise enough
not to sacrifice his men in attacks on q
fortified position which must inevitably be

outside of that position. Every attempt
of Walker to open communications in any

of both his means and the narrow area
still under his control. Capt. Davis, whC

the strength of either force, was confden
that Walker could not, even by last des

Rivas before his whole command would b

SHOOTING AFFRAY IN LExINGToN.-In
a quarrel between John Clay, son of
the departed statesman, and horse trainer
named Edgar, in Lexington, KY, on
Thursday, the former shot the latter twice
with pistol. One ball entered his mouth
and passed out behind the ear. Another
ball lodged in his back. Edgar is reported
mortally wounded. Clay Immediately left
Lexington, and has not been heard from
since. The parties have not been on am
