A BORDER RUFFLAN OUTRAGE ExPLoDED.-Some
weeks since, pathetic account of an attack upon
w. W. Bloss, an assistant editor of the Leaven-
worth Kansas Times, went the rounds of the Re-
publican press, which they Indignantly denounced
as pro-sIavery outrage upon man on account OF
his anti-slavery views, DC. The story was dished
up in the usual style of Kansas border ruffian out
RACES. The facts of the case have since come to
light, by which it appears that Bloss had grossly
insulted the wife of Mr.. White, who had kindly
taken him into his family and nursed him while
sick, and failing to make proper amend for his
conduct, received a severe punishment from his ag
grieved benefacor. In this case, like many others,
the real offender was made martyr, and the facts
were misrepresented and used for political effect.

EXTENSIVE GOLD DUST SwINDLE on A BRoKER.-A
gold dust swindle of a most extraordinary charac-
ter is under investigation in the New York City
Hall Police Court. 1t appears that on the 26th of
March three men called at the Brokers' Office of
James NJ Taylor, corner of Chatham street and
New Bowery, and delivered forged letter of in
PRODUCTION purporting to be from the publisher of
Bank Note Detector, stating that the bearers had
a large amount of gold dust to dispose of. The
parties represented that they had won it bv gam
bling with returned Californians. After meeting
or two with Mr. Taylor to negotiate the latter took
sample of the gold dust to have it assayed and
found that sample good, but it had been ingenious
ly prepared for him, the bulk of the dust being
brass-tilings. Finally Taylor agreed to purchase
the lot for Sl2 per ounce, and paid the parties
$4,000 cash. 1t was in the evening the bargain was
closed, and at hotel in the Bowery. Taylor had
not got far before man in police uniform caupht
up with him, saying he knew all about the transac-
tion, and how the gold was obtained. lie was about
to seize Mr.. Taylor and his treasure when be offer
ed to let all go for 81, 900. The difficulty was com
promised for $500, which it appears was paid
Subsequently the gold turned out to be brass filings
the venders of the dust swinders, and the police
man bogus, got up for the purpose. Since then
detective policemen have been trying to ferret out
the operators, and three have been arrested and
are under examination. The accused are Charles
Radcliffe, well known to the police an old man
named Beliinger, and another named Hodges
There appears to be no chance of Mr. Taylor recov
ing back any portion of his $780,
