South DR.. Ross, of Alabama is a free negro.
The mother of Dr. Ross was negress and
a slave, the concubine of the father of DR..
Ross. The old white gentleman Ross
did not sell the "nigger" slave woman
and his children bcgotten upon his body,
but liberated them, and left them his prop
erty, portion of which consisted of his
other slaves. One of the slave born broth
ers of DIR. Ross being reproachcd one eve
ming, at q party, on the impurity of his
blood, could not bear the insinuation, and
shortly afterwards shot himself. The other
removed South, became pious, and is now
the great DIR. Ross--the champion of hui
man servitude, and an active breeder of
slaves himself. In view of this state of
facts, H. Ward Beocher pithily remarks:
"Dr Ross arguments in defence of slavery easily
answered in great variety of methods But perhaps no
method is more compendous, lucid or more con-
elusive than the simple statement Of the fac that he
himself was born slave There is little need Of spend
ing time to unravel with miscrope care the attenuate
of sophisry when the whole cobweb be swept
away in moment by one touch of sturdy fact
''What which Dr. Ross undertakes to defendi Not
Hebrew servitude Arab Turkish, nor Russian nor
yet abstract and possible system in Utopia He
dertAkes to defend the system by which his mother
instead of being wife her husbands equal partnewas
only eoncubine, his fathers property, with conuga
rights and with parental right in the children to whom
her agones gave birth. He maintains the rightuness Of
the system under which he himself born slave, and
which denied him every human right only the right
to live He maintains the rightfuness of the system un
der which, If his father (more human than most fathers o
such children had not tried to him from such in

would have found refuge only In the grave II the sys
which he maintains unjust to his mother and to

There is no necessity for a large surplus in

The people of Ohio pay their taxes
promptly, and there is no reason why money
should be collected six OF twelve months be-
fore it is wanted The citizens of Ohio are
good for the taxes at any time, and they

STILL LATER.

We have Just seen aid conversed with
Marshal Siford, who accompanied the slaves
to Kentucky to the house of their master
He thought the wounded man was semo-
what better, but still little probability that
he would survive.
The parties who visited the room for the
purpose Of making the arrest were Churchill,
Anderson, Elliott, Lowe, Woodward, Carly
and Davis. They were not Informed that
the figitives were in room No. 18 until 20
minutes before they repaired thither.
We have conversed with Mr. Anderson
one Of the Marshals, who states the follow
ing rs the history Of the affair:
When they repaired to the room, one of
them knocked, but received no reply, when
Elliott opened the transom above the door
anil looking through, exclaimed
'rhey must be here, for here's their din
ner."
He then put his head further through
the transom and exclaimed
HYes here they are!"
He then cndeavored TO crawl through,
when be was stabbed by the negro, with a
long dirk belonging to dirk cane. The
.pannel of the door was then knocked out
aud ono Of the party shot the negro, and
subsequently the two fugitives were arrest,

REMOVAL OF THE SLAVES.

An omnibus was provided, and about
half past IL o'clock the woman was placed
therein, and accompanied by several Of the
Marshals, taken over TO Kentucky, to tho
house of her owner. At about the same
time the wounded slave was placed in an
express wagon, and being properly guarded,
was also taken to his masters residence.
Considerable excitement prevailed along
Fourth and Vine streets, and hundreds
Aocked to the vicinity of the Custom House
and many were eager to see both Elliott and
the wounded slave.
APPEARANCE OF THE ROOM FROM WHICH
THE SLAVES WE'RE TAKEN.
We paid visit to room No. Is, in which
ifhe slaves were found. 1t is in tho fourth
story and connects with another room which
did not have the appearance of being used,
although the door which led to both rooms
was open. A badly disarranged bed stood
in one corner, and a table opposite on which
was large dish, containing cooked meat
and other provisions, which, apparently had
not been touched. A pair of woman's shoes
we noticed on the floor, quite new, and a
bonnet lay on the table. Law books and
manuscripts, in disorder, were on the table,
of which there were two. In one of the
law books was the name of VIM. M. Con
nelly, lawyer. Some of the manuscript
was traced with short hand or phonetic
characters, evidently the report of some
trial. We noticed the word "Xenia" in one
or two places. The entire room had the ap
pearance of great disorder.
On tho door, pannel of which had evil
IDENTIFY been Knocked out with the rail of a
bedstead which we saw on tho floor, we
found the following in pencil, and looking
as if but recently written:
"Wm: You can see me at my Office if
you wish, this evening"
The name, rs we'll as we can make out,
signed to this is, "Heid" or "Herd."
On another part of the door we discover
ed tho following, which looked as if it had
been traced for somo time, also in pencil:
1'Be in at IL. j. G--l."

LATER.

Since writing the above we are credibly
informed that it was not Mr.. Withers who
shot the negro but that he was sitting talk
ing to gentleman when the parties made
the arrest some distance from the scene.
We also learn that Mr.. Withers has been
the owner Of the negro man but few
months, and he bought him at the earnest
solicitation of the slave woman, his wife, to
prevent his being sent South. Mr. Withers
was absent from home at the time the slaves
made their escape, being with the excursion
lists at st. Louis.

coNplr1oN or rHE wouNpEp.

DR.. Blackman was called in to examine
the wound Of Marshal Elliott, and express
ed the opinion that internal hemorrhage
had taken placc-the blood issuing from an
iincision in Che arm, which tho doctor saw
proper to mako, gave evidence of such fact
He is of the opinion that the wound may
prove mortal, but entertains some slight
hope if the hemorrhage has not been too
great, that Elliotts life may yet be saved,
and thinks that few hours may determine
the result. DIR. cambridge attended 10 the
negro, and probed the wound. He is of the
opinion that the ball has not penetrated TO
any great depth, but taken a slanting direc-
ton, and thinks if mono of the entrails have
been injured he may still survive. Ho did
not succeed in finding the ball. Both the
wounded men were suffering intensely at the
time we saw them, at ii o'clock. The ne
gro woman was with her husband, and al
most hysterical in her lamentations over
him

Ono oftthe party, said to be Withers, the
owner OF the slaves, then fired at the negro

hand. He was noticed by some bystanders,
and assisted up tho steps into ono Of the Of

Introduction last week to the heroine
OF the following sketch
Mr.. -, merchant, now residing
in Philadelphia, who formerly lived in
rather an extrayagant style, was in the
habit. every Monday morning, ofgiying
his wife certain sum of money for the
table and other household expenses of
the week; he never mentioned his bus.

iicientIy capable of attending to his
own affairs, never inquired into them.
About five years after marriage,
through some slight mIsmanagcment,
and the rascality of his confidential
clerk, MIR. - suddenly broke, and
his fall was mentioned "sympathizing-
ly" on change, and, like all such mat
tiers, there all sympathy ended. The
merchant kept the affair secret, and
the first intimation his lady had Of it,
was news paragraph in the Led9sr.-
Shortly after dinner was over, on the
discovery ofthe startling fact, Mrs.
requested her husband to remain in the
parlor a few moments, as she had some
thing to say to him. She then left the
room, hurried up stairs, and shortly
after returned, with splendidly bound
Bible in her hand. Handing it 20 her
husband, she said:
George, the day after our marriage
Won gave me this precious book as a
token Of your love, and as a rich ioun-
tain TO look TO in the day of trouble.
Its pages have been precious to me
and as your brow looks sad to-day,
now return it to You, that you may
CLEAN from it some consolation in the
hour of gloom" She then left the
room.
The merchant opened the book care.

with something between a tear and q
smile.

This is the weekly saving of our
household expenses for the last five
years was the modest reply. Every
week put twenty out OF the thirty
dollars which You gave me into our

came upon us, We should have some
thing to save us from the WOLF
but why put it in the Bible, Kate Z"

delighted husband, clasping her to his
