The KANSAS FAMINE.-In the criti-
cisms of Pomeroy's course, the famine
year has been made to figure extensively
Some of the papers even denominats it q
humbug. The starvation business was
greatly overdone in some respects, but it
was no humbug. There was real and
great distress in Ksusss-hence the grest-
er shame attaches to Pomeroy. He was
the head centre of the aid movement; he
handled and controlled all. At the COM
mencement, he was very poor. He had
no means, and his property was buried
under mountains Of mortgages. Yet. that
very Spring. be bought seat in the

used was filchsd from the aid fund sent
to relieve the suffer ings of our people

TIE OTHER SIDE-The Q laker Indi.
an Agents evidently believe in the saying
that "ths pen is mightier than the
sword" Some broad brim Bohemian is
among them taking notes. which he gen.
orally prints in paper published at
Wilmington, Delaware. One of his late
letters relates to Mr.. Janney. Of the Nor
thern Superintendency. The story goes,
that the Pawnees killed q wEite man,
and that Jsnney withheld their annuities
until the murderers were given up. An
other version OF the affair is abroad, and
has been related to Us. The Pawnees
did kill Q white man, and Jsnney de.
mauded the surrender of the murderers.
But the Pswnees went to him with a
msde-up story, that the man had been
killed by Indians from the plains and
they succeeded in SO completely bam boo
cling and pulling the wool over the eyes
OF the gullible Superintendent. that he
believed them to be angels Of the frst
water. Finally the Pswnees got re-
port that that soldiers were coming from
Omaha to punish them for the outrage.
which put them ia such panic that they
at once gobblei up the murderers. and
delivered them into the hands of the au,
thorities.

gen'lemao of the highest integrity snd Of
acknowledged abilities. A great part
OF his lie has been spent in the public
service. and be has made no fortune, and
has no claim to an election except upon
character and talents. For many years
an earnest Democrat, the trusted friend
of Polk and Buchanan, chosen BY the lat.
ter when President as the best nian in
his party to administer the affsirs OF Kan
sss with justice to all parties. and so to
save his waning popularity in the Nor
thern States. Mr.. Gesry left the Demo-
Gratis with reluctance. and only when he
found that nothing but injustice on bis
part could satisfy them. Never wers
freemen more directly asked to choose
between money and merit than in this
contest; and it is fair 10 say that some
thing more than the Governor's chair is
at stake in 1.-THE good fame Of Pennsyl-
vanin, and the character OF her voters for
independence and purity.
