The RAT POISONING STORY DISPUTED
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times says, the story about
tie poisoned tank at the National is en-
tirely false. That the tank is at the top
of the house and so situated that rat
could not possibly get into it-that it is
also emptied and cleaned two or three
times every day. and that the water is
never used for drinking purposes. He
says this story was started by waiter
who had been turned off by the proprie-
tor. The writer is boarder at the ho-
tel and knows the story to be fabrica-
ton. The prevailing sickness he attri
butcs to defective sewerage.

81 The Washington correspondent of the
New York Post has had an interview with
Gov. Geary, and that interview confirms
in every particular the statement made
from Gov. Geary's lips by the st. Louis
Democrat Among other things Gov
Geary. in speaking OF his course in Kan
sas, says:
Gov. Geary found that, while he arres-
ted only free-state men--for whom alone,
on his arrival, warrants had been issued
he was very popular Governor; but
when he came to try the same process on
pro-slavery offenders, it was q different
thing; and one of the federal officers in
Kansas had openly declared in q public
meeting that the laws were intended to
act on "abotitionists, and not on the
A'law and order" party, as it is termed.
The Governor facetiously remarks, that
by q sort of unwritten law Of the territory.
every man born north of Mason an Dix
on's line is an ''abolisionist. No matter
how much nor at how much cost a north
ern national" democrat may have exert
ed himself for his party. and for the rights
Of the South, if he enters Kansas and at
tempts fair and impartial course, he is
pronounced at once an 'abolitionist."
In reference to the case Of Sherrod, the
virginian, he intimated that full and au-
thentic exposure of the facts in regard to
his character and doings would reveal the
political objects of those who were canon
izing his memory.
Gov. Geary adheres to the opinion that
the population of Kansas, which, as he
thinks, does not reach 30.O0o.is too small
to warrant the formation Of State Con-
stitution, and that it's best interests de-
mand that it should continue IN terrific
rial condition until it shall have the ratio
necessary to elect a representative to Con-
gress.

A. letter in the New York Iri5un,

A letter in the New York Tribune
dated Flemingsburgh. Kentucky. gives an
account of the murder of master by bis
slave. The slave admitted the deed, and
alleged as reason the personal abuse suf-
fered from the master, but particularly
the treatment OF the wife of his slave, by
compelling her to submit to the master in
his vile passions. When the murder had
been committed the slave and wife fled
from the house; the wife drowned herself
in creek near by, but the man was cap
tured and is to be hanged ON the l4th of
April.

 When they arrived at the inn in Greenock, she inquired of the boy what was the object of his coming up there He said he wished to be a sailor, and desired that some of the captains would engage him. She gave him half crown, wishing hun success, and charged him to be. have well
 Twenty years after this the coach was re- turning to Glasgow in the afternoon, on the same road, and when near Bishopton, sea- captain observed an old lady on the road walk ing very slowly, fatigued and weary. He or. dered the coachman to put her in the coach, i as there was an empty seat, and he would pay for her.
 Immediately after, when changing ho ses at ! Bishopton the passengers Were sauuterilg about except the captain and the old lady, who remained in the coach. The lady thanked him for his kindly feeling towards her, as she he always had sympathy for weary pedestri- ans, since he himself, was in state when boy, twenty years ago, near this very place, when tendcrhearteu lady ordered the coach man to take him up, and paid for his seat. l Well, 1 do rcml nber that incident" said she, T am that lady, but my lot in life is changed.
