Kansas, and incarcerated with his father in
the Jail Of Platte City. Mo-. reached here
yesterday. He reports that on the trial oi
his father the jury stood eleven for scquit-
tai. and one bitterly pro-slavery man for
conviction. Thia man said he didn't care
whether Doy was guilty or not--he believed
he ought to be found guilty.
The only testimony against Doy, was thai
of rabid pro-sIaveFy man. who swore that
his impression vas that he saw Doy in Mis-.
soari about the time the slave Dick left.
oae of the attorneys told the jury that
the impression of pro-slayery man was
better evidence than the positive, sworn
statements ofany number of antislavery men
The jury Vas ont from Saturday after
noon until Monday morning al two O'Clock,
when they were discharged.
DR.. Doy's counsel asked for an immedi.
ats new trial. but il was not granted. His
bail was reduced to Se. 500. and the son
was discharged on nOlks proseqEi- The
next trial will not be until the 20th of June

letter from Mr.. Parrott, in relation to
some statements made by our Washington
correspondent in regard to Railroad grants
and his action touching Southern Kansas.
We have mislaid the paper or We should
give his letter in full. The point however
which he makes, is that Kansas City want
ed road from her limits to the south coun-
try. and ''that he of course was opposed 70
building up Missouri towns with Kansas
lands" .,.a
Now all this may sound very well for Mr..
Parrott, but the facts are these:
A Railroad Convention was held in Kan
sas City in November last, in which Wyan-
dot and Southern Kansas were represented.
A resolution was adopted which made the
e'mouth of the Kansas river" a. cardinal
point in the policy of the convention
Kansas City pledged herself to sink her To-
cal feelings and to unite with other parties
in this respect! lff s}/ii Eili =
The terms of the grant bill as drawn,
were among others, that the lands should be
'granted to the Territory of Kansas for the
purpose of aiding in the construction of cer-
tain railroads" In the conference, Wyan-
dot and large portion of Southern Kansas
being urrepresented, Kansas City. in con-
formity with the action of the conventioa
referred to above, moved . proposition for
q road commencing at or near the mouth
of the Kansas river, and running in the
direction of Emporia, connecting at some
point on the line of the road on the 4th
standard parallel" or as it WAS known there,
"Arny's Road" o.r- .s'-fi- l.n q
So far from its commencing at Kansas
City, it was grant to Kansas. placed in che
hands of her Legislature, and over which
Kansas City or Missouri could have no
more control than in the location of the
railroad from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
The Legislature might have commenced
the road at Wyandot. Quindaro. OF any
point il pleased; but by the terms of the
grant it could not have gone out of the
Territory had it so desired. z.. -g.f.ui
Il was this road that the Delegate from
Kansas declared that he would oppose, or
any bill that had such road in it. We
have no farther interest in this matter At
present than to vindicate the correctness of
the statements contained in the Journals s
correspondence, and leave the matter as to
whether Mr.. Parrott's course was Just and
proper, to where it rightfully belongs-his
constituents.-Ransas City Journal.

The response of the people throughout
the entire Territory to the call for Terri
torial Republican Convention has thus far
been cordial and satisfactory. On every
hand we see the preparations for full at
tendance and representation at that Conren-
ton. The people are in earnest in the mat
ter. and fully realize the necessity of the
movement. The principles of the Repub-
lican party are in harmeny with those of a
large majority of the people of the Terrific
ry, and no efforts of demagogues will ever
succeed in binding their eyes to the true is
sue. or make them forget the allegiance they
owe to the cause of their country.

A Clergyman Arrested for Counterfeit
ing while Preaching Funeral Ser
mon. :T.,+s
We had an interview with Mr., Isaac Rey-
nolds, of Trumbull county, last evening,
who had just returned from Glenwood, Mills
county, Iowa, where he owns some land
He gave us an item of interest, On last
Monday afternoon, as the Rev. VIM. Wat
son, the pastor of the Methodist Church in
Glenwood, was preaching funeral sermon,
be was arrested by officers from an adjoin-
ing county ior passing counterfeit money
The people in attendance were so incensed
at the differs. that they thrust them from
the house. and they concluded to retire un-
til the obsequies were concluded. The cler-
gyman did not accompany the procession to
the grave, and the officers arrested him.
They had previously searched his house. in
the cellar of which they found inks. press
es, paper, rolling machines, and the entire
apparatus for the manufacture of counter
felt bank bills. They also found about ST.
900 in counterfeit bills, $500 of which were
los on the Forest City bank of this city,
and about $500 in SIS on the State Bank
of Ohio. 80.
The clergyman made clean breast of the
mater. he became connected Will some
counterfeiters about two years ago, and as
he had been in early life an engrsver, he had
been very useful and hard working mem
Der of the gang. He has preached in Glen
wood about three years He is about forty
years old, man of family, and has been
very generally esteemed and respected by
his congregation and neigbbors. He said
he Joined the counterfeiters to get money
''to do good with This explanation was
not very satisfactory to his parishioners,
however. and they discarded him at once
He must have been nice minister. An ex-
animation of his study showed that he
was a regular subscriber to the Life in Bos-
ton, Venus Miscellany. and other fash pa
pers, and the shelves of his book case were
adorned with the yellow covered lives of nu-
merous celebrated highwsymen, forgers. etc.
He was taken before Justice of the Peace,
and in default of heavy bail. was committed
to the county Jail to await trial before the
court of Common Pleas. The incident Gre

The Gold Regions Parodied.
The Toledo Blade has the following laugh
able letter ostensibly from Pixies Peak. It
will do to laugh over: -----'
PIKE's PEAK, Feb, '59.

PIKE's PEAK, Feb, SO.
The manner of gathering gold in these
diggings is peculiar. A man takes frame
work of heavy timbers. built like a stone
boat. the bottom of which is composed of
heavy iron rasps. This frame work is
hoisted up to the top of the Peak, and the
man gets on and slides down the side of the
mountain. AS he goes swiftly down, the
rasps on the bottom of the frame work
scrape off the gold in immense shavings,
which curl up on the machine, and by the
time the man gets to the bottom, nearly a
ton of gold is following him. This is the
common manner of gathering it.
Another plan is to bore a hole in the side
of the mountain and I'll it with coal and BIZ
tumen. A rousing fire is then built, and
the proprietors sit around and elbow it,
Shortly the gold begins to soften and melt,
when quickly, stream of molten gold, as
thick as your leg. runs out through the fire,
and is caught in moulds of sand made for
the purpose from whence the gold comes in
sheets of eight or ten feel square, and the
thickness of first class boiler iron. Gold is
too plenty here in fact. A paper of tobacco
will buy two tons of it. am turning my
attention to something different. 1 have
found in the gulch from where I date this
letter. Jumps of gold nearly as large as a
hand-sled fairly encrusted with diamonds.
1 have dropped the gold business since. and
have been steadily laboring in the diamond
department. You will not believe me, per-
haps. but it is solemn fact that have al
ready collected bin full of splendid dia-
monds, nearly as large as your fst-more or
iess-and among them are over a hundred
larger than head cheese.
