FALSE RuMoRs-A great many people about
town seem to have no better business than to
circulate reports injurious to the credit, and
questioning the solvency, Of their neighbors.
Withip two or three days past, the city has been
filed with rumors prejudicial to the standing Of
several of the strongest and most prosperous
houses upon Main street, which rumors, we are
happy to know, have no foundation IN fact. The
public cannot be too careful, in these perilous
times, how they give currency to the numerous
idle reports which are current in the Streets and
every man should studiously guard himself
against saying aught that affects the financial
position of his neighbors, unless he k'sooS where
of he afirms.

The Bay State alleges that its reason for allud-
ing to the failure of Bowen & McNamee, was,
"that those gentlemen have been incessant in
obtruding their political prejudices on the pub
lie, that they have s'striven to monopolize the
Northern and Western trade upon the express
ground that they did not desire Southern patron!
age" If the Bag State believed this statement,
it must have been sadly misinformed. The poll
tics of Bowen & McNamee, so far from being OBJ
tralea on the public, were first brought to notice
by their envious competitors, who sent circular
to Southern traders, informing them that B. &
Men. were abolitioDists, while they-the writers
of the crcular-were national" men, and sound
upon the goose, and claimed that they should have
the preference for Southern trade, on that ac-
count. 1t was to this that Bowen & McNamee
made the very dignifed and proper reply, that
sit their goods and not their principles,
which they offered for sale" They sought only
good customers, ahd it mattered not to them from
what quarters they came. But the circular above
referred to produced the desired effect among the
more violent and bigoted of the Southern dealers,
and as B. & Men. kept the largest and best
stock in the city, the loss of these Southern Gus
toners was instantly supplied by Others from va.
rious sections Of the Union. That B. & Mon.
were sufferers by the exchange does not appear
from anything we have seen. They have been
obliged, it is true, by the pressure of the times 10
suspend, but they show surplus of 81 100000,
and, so far as we have seen, the Bay State is the
only paper that has shown the bad disposition
and the bad taste to make their misfortune and
the misfortune of the whole community, which
suffers by their suspension, the subject of coarse
and vulgar personal onslaught. Their competi-
tors, who enjoyed the confidence and the trade of
the South, have beeu obliged to suspend, too and
it is not said of them that they show large sur
plus. We regret their failure, and hope they will
soon be on their feet again, and if we ever felt
any cause of censure of them, we certainly should
not take the present occasion to make an often
sive manifestation of it.

FREE STATE TRIUMPH IN KANzAs.-The
telegraphic reports Of the complete triumph
of the Free State men in Kanzas, seems to
be fully confirmed by the latest advices, which
even add to the former reported Republican
majorities. This is success to which we
were hardly prepared to look with much con-
fdence, in view of former border ruffian in
cursions into the Territory on election days.
According to the latest dispatches, the free
State men have clear majority in both legis-
lative branches, and have chosen M. ]. Par
rott, Republican, delegate to Congress by
majority of from FIVE thousand to eight thou
sand votes. According to the estimate of
Free State men, the Council will stand 9 Re-
publicans to Democrats, and the House "a
Republicans to Is Democrats. The Boston
Journal well says:
"IndicatioDs are not wanting that if per-
fectly fair play had prevailed, even these ma
jorities would have been greatly increased.
But they are the first Kanzas elections that
ever approria1ated to fairness, and their results
are a complete condemnation of the whole
system that has hitherto stifed the true voice
Of the territory. Whether the change ID ow-
ing to the more perfect plans of the free State
men for ascertaining and exposing frauds, or
to salutary fear OF Gen. Lanes military or
ganization, matters not-the night of border
rufianlsm, with all its known and its yetin-
calculable disgraces, has begun to pass away.
The steady heroism of the free State men,
through their long peris6ibf aggravating op-
preston, is a guaranty that they will use their
power judiciously. They will of course,
sweep away the disgracefal enactments of the
Missouri invaders, and construct a system of
laws BETTING a sovereign, free, and christian
community. They will accept Off it is ten
dered to their votes,1 or else re.adopt free
Constitution for the State of Kanzas, and for
ward it to Congress. There it win be made
manifest how readily the administration can
yield to the viii of people forming their own
institutions in their own way, or it will be
seen what new shifts and devices will be put
into play against the advance of freedom.
Great results hang upon this decision of the
people of Kanzas, which will soon begin to
occupy our attention"

lad had frequently accused of stealing his
fathers grain. On the disappearance OF the
lad, the man alluded to was arrested on sus-
picion of having foully disposed of him but
was acquitted for the want of proof. At the
time it was shown that the lad had not
been seen alive since his visit 10 the barnard
a hole in the ice, IN the Connecticut river, at

suspicion that the boy had been killed and
put through the hole. About month since,
the body OF lad Aoated ashore near the

was gone, the parents Of young Sage were so
confident it was their son, that they assumed
and buried it as such. We now learn, that,
within day or two, sailor has returned to
Middletown, and voluntarily, before magis.
trate, testified that he accidentally saw the
murder, and that the man first arrested is the
guilty one. He said he was going by the barn
and heard some one charging another with
stealing grain and hay, which was denied
and reiterated, and apprehending violence.

him, they came at him, and that it was only
by promise not to reveal what he had seen,
that his life was spared. He soon sailed on
voyage from which he has just returned, and
hastened back to the scene of the murder, to
nnburthen his conscience of the suppression,
which he says has made him miserable during
his whole absence. Steps were Immediately
