The general opinion is that "they have gone
where the woodbine twineth;" but the wood

general opinion signifies nothing Nine.
Rumor informs us that the missing convict,
Genet, by means of line of coaches and boats
from Manhattanville, crossed over on Sunday
night to Long Island, and that by the Long
Island Railroad he moved eastward and thence
northward, and that he will probably take his
Christmas dinner among Her Britannia
Majesty's loyal subjects of the New Dominion.

''the Hook" is suspected as having been en-
gagged to pick up some mysterious passengers
who were suspiciously moving about
at the time of the mysterious steamers strange
movements near that deserted village. And
again it is rumored that there had been a
beautiful yacht in the Hudson, near Manhat-
tanville, but that it had disappeared on the
morning Of the discovery Of the fight of
Senator Genet. He may, therefore. be on the
high seas this blessed Christmas morning or
in the New Dominion, or en- route to Mexico.
When found our police authorities, of course,
according to the advice Of Captain Cutie, will
take a note Of it. Meantime, we concur in
the opinion of Chief Matsell that in philo-
sophical consideration Of the case the conclu-
sion must be admitted that it was perfectly
natural that Genet should avail himself of the
first opportunity offered him to "vamose the
ranch" Chief Matsell is man of experience
in his vocation, and that his philosophy is
correct we know from the escape of the
prisoner Genet.
