A Cow.Hidinp Affair.
A &anderer eating has Own cOrds--.a

A &anderer eating has Own soo,ds--h
.scoman's scr0ngs righted by herself.
A scene of unusual occurrence tool
place at the Louisville Hotel yesterday
which was the theme of "many inquiring
friends" and of that rare old gossip
"Madame Rumor," who is always nosing
about where she ought not 10 be.
To be brief, young woman, whose
local habitation is Cincinnati, and whose
name is well known in theatrical circles,
il is alleged, had been slandered and ass
allied by one--a doctor in our town-who.
from his past relations with her, should
have remained silent. The proofs of his
SANDERS were well established to her,
and. grieving under the heavy pressure Of
their weight, she resolved to visit Louis
vile and right her own wrongs.
Accompanied tbither by two male
friends she proceeded in mastery man.
ner to defend herself against his asper-
tons. The young M. D. was sent for.
and upon arriving at the Louisville Hotel
was invited to sign a statement, retracting
all he had said 10 the injury of the lady,
endorsing her character to the fullest, and
stating that, to the best 81 his belief, and
from all he had ever seen and known of
her, her life had been perfectly in accor-
dance with the strictest and most virtuouS
propriety. The doctor--for such is the
title given him, and for which he has the
credentials in his pocket-not only gave
this endorsement of the character Of the
lady, but called God to witness that he
will hereafter never mention her name
except in those honorable terms which
she fully merits The lady after securing
the necessary retraciion, administered a
cowhide gently npou his back.
The doctor made rush at this, and
escaped through the billiard room to the
street, and left the lady and her friends in
the distance. This was the whole affair,
except that the statements diffel as to
the amount Of persuasion used to pro-
cure the signature to the document now
in possession Of the lady. One party
states that it was obtained readily
and without force, while the other asserts,
we understand, that he did not know what
he was compelled to sign.-Lou. jour.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The Cali.
fornia appointments have been considered
by the Cabinet, but not consumated.
The National Hotel is 10 be closed To-
morrow.
Sickles, Houck, and many others Ol
New York, had long interview with the
President this morning concerning the
appointments Of that city and State. The
door was then thrown open to more than
hundred persons in waiting, including
fresh Maryland delegation. Large num-
bers rushed up and hurriedly put their
papers in his possession. The President
said he would listen to them all seperate- :
ly, were il in his power, but the Cabinet
would meet in few minutes and they
would he said, have before them one OF
the most important subjects ever brought
TO the attention Of Government, and in
this connection, he said he had just recei-
we'd the resignation of Gov, Geary, to
take place on the Goth inst, and that time
is past; hence, he remarked, you see it is
impossible for me, to attend to your case
now.
Col. Wheeler, Minister to Nicaragua,
has resigned.
John A. McClemand of Illinois, has
been recommended by prominent politi
clans from that Stale for the mission TO
Persia.
A report prevailed at Panama.. that
minister Bowlin and Commissioner Morse
had demanded passports in consequence
of New Granada having rejected over
lures for the settlement of the question
of the Panama Massacre.
The Cabinet to-day had under con-
sideration the Dallas Clarendon treaty
and approved Of it in form as amended
by the Senate. II will be conveyed to
our minister at the Court Of St. James by
A. H. Evans, of Washington. who, as
a special messenger, will leave Boston for
Europe on Wednesday next and return
to this country after visiting London and
Paris.
The resignation of Gov. Geary was
not received until to-day. The Govern
or's resignation has not been acted upon,
though it will be accepted. No success
or designated.

Wheeling paper says certain parties, male and female, are known to have been busily en- gagged in uttering counterfeit money for some time past in that city, but, owing to fear" on the part of those swindled no information has been lodged. The victims hope to have the spurious money redeemed. It is hardly to be wondered at that half the money 0 ffered at the box office of the Wheeling theatre should be counterfeit. The peculiar fears" too, of the considerate Wheeling people appear to extend into the country round. The same paper says:
 From a Washington county exchange We have the particulars of one of the boldest peices of villany ever recorded. Some time since a Mir. F., of Cross Creek township, received a letter from late inmate of the penitentary, Stating that if he did not immediately forward the writer $500 he would burn his house down over his head" A few days afterwards Mir. P. met the scamp, when he boldly demanded the money, stating that if his victim should dare to have him arrested, he had colleagues that would carry out his threats. Mr. F., knowing the desperate character of the man, gave him all the money he had about his person, amounting to some S9O. The villain received the money. and coolly remarked that he would call at P.'s house in few days for the balance. Accor- dingy, in a few days he called and demaded more money, and by dnt of threats induced him to pay two hundred and fifty dollars more. The outlaw is still at large.
 Rev. Mir. Stockton, of Cross Creek village a short time since received an anonymous letter informing him that he need not be surprised eff all his stock was poisoned and his house burned in short time" Whether this letter was written for the purpose Of extorting money we have not heard, but we learn that since that time Mir s. has lost fine horse and several cattle by poison.

The Murder in Virginia.

The Alexandria Gazette gives the following particulars of the murder of MT. Geo. Green, in Prince William county, Va, on the night before Christmas:
 He was in his house when it was entered by three negro women, young man and negro boy, all of whom attacked Mr. G., but he kept them off. During the attack he was struck by the oldest of the women said to be aged about sixty years, with an axe, which Mr. Green succeeded in taking from her, and with which he defended himself for some time, but was finally ovrepowercd. and the axe taken from him, when he made his escape from the house, but was pursued and overtaken by the negroes, about 15O yards from the house, and killed His body was then taken back into the house, and the house set fire to and burned down. MT. G.'s watch and other articles, which he had on his person at the time, were not stolen, but were found with his remains. The negroes after committing this diaboical and henious atrocty, went to their quarters, and when the neighbors arrived, pretended to be asleep. Traces of blood were discoverd and suspicion immedi- ately aroused, and when they were charged with having committed the crime, they made full confsssson, and were taken into custody and at once committed to jail. MT. Green re- sided by himself.
