ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS reports state that
the election of Major Rollin as Governor of
missouri IS likely to be set aside by the ssa-
mended" returns. This game of amended re-
turns is explained in fhe st. Louis Democrat
by an example, Polk county gave one majority
for Stewart, which was sworn to and recorded
before the Secretary Of State. But as soon
as IT was found that Rollins vote in the
State was likely to exceed that OF Stewart, an
amended return was sent up giving Stewart
zoi majority. 1t Is also stated that runners
have been sent out to meet the messengers of
the remaining counties,w with instructions to al
ter the returns to suit the unlocked for exigen-
cy. The Democrat denounces this ssserial of
rascality" with just indignation, andinvokes
the right Of revolution as corrective of these
evils.

the drovers and fired quite unexpectedly, Kill

ther. AT the time of the attack scarcely any
of the drovers had their guns loaded After
recovering from the shock they proceeded to
load their guns as quickly as possible. and to
return the fire. They think they certainly
caused three, if not five of the Indians to bite
the dust. But this little repaid them for fbefr
own loss The cattle belonging to the drove
took stampede at the first charge of the In
dlans, and before the skrmish was over. they
succeeded in running off 20 ont of % of the
company's mules and horses. This happened
about ttwenty-seven miles above Fort Kearnev
and having only only two mnlcs or horses left:
the greater part of the company had to foot il
back TO the fort, which they did by a circui
tous route, in; order to avoid the Indians. tla,s

The wounded man suffered excruciating main

SCANDAL IN New YoRK.-The sCourier des
Etats Unis,' OF Aug. 18th, has an account of
an interesting affair which came off in the lew
York Hotel, on the Saturday evening previous
Mrs. W., young and pretty lady from Loui-
sana, had been in the absence of her husband
carrying on Irritation with Mr.. F., rich
auetionecr, and their intimacy was carried so
far that her husband in New Orleans was in
formed of it. He Immediately started for n .
York, without informing any one, and arrived
there on Saturday evening, without his wife
knowing anything about it.. He proceeded to
the hotel, inquired for her room, went to it.,
found the door unlocked, entered the room,
and found his Esbetter half'' in bed with her
new lover. Without uttering word, Mr.. W.
drew his revolver and fired at the guilty pair,
but missed them. f. jumped up, ran to the
door, where he was shot at again, and took
flight headlong through the hall,with nothing
on but flannel shirt, whilst persons rushed
from all quarters, on hearing the firing. f.
dashed down stairs at fine rate, and finally
bro't up in waste closet, in which he bolted
himself close. From this unpoetical shelter
he could hear the tumult upstairs, and the eff
forts to disarm the infuriated husband; nor
would he open the door until summoned by
the police, and upon formal promise that his
life should be protected. As Mr.. w. left for
the South next day with his wife. it is 5eliev-
ed the affair will go no further, having caused
less blood than sweat and tears to be shed.
