into this county in search of freedman named
Allen, formerly the slave of Mr. W, near
Cotton Gin. They found the negro, and hap
pier meeting seldom occurs. The circumstances,
as learn them, are about as follows: Imme-
diately upon the close of the war, Allen left his
old master for parts unknown. There was a
bitter feud between Mr. W and some of his
friends on one side, and number of nen on the
other side. growing out of political questions

negro man, which was supposed to be Allen
and bearing marks of having been murdered,
was found near Mr VS. plantation This
carcass was taken by the enemies of Mr. W
and kept until about two weeks ago, when MIR

from one of its men whom it sent to visit Ben
Wade at his home 10 Jefferson, Asbtabula county,
Ohio. Mr. Wade is reported as saying relative to
the account in the New York Times Of bis Kansas

property or Of disturbing in any way property
rights"
