The Kansas Senator stopped over the
Sabbath at Chicago, and was interview
ed there very briefly by a reporter OF the
Inter- Ocean. He was at the hotel, very
much fatigued, and refused to 90 at
length into the merits of the conspiracy
by which his defeat was brought about.
He said :
/ can only say now, as have already
said in letter that has been published,
that am the victim of villainous con-
spiracy, and only ask a suspension of
Judgment till the whole matter is made
public through the courts.
Reporter But will not your silence
be misconstrued, and tend to injure you !?
Mr.. Pomeroy. No, | think not |

| think | have their confidence These
charges are serious. What they call
''the Kansas bribery case" has already
been published to show that deep plot
was laid by persons in and out of the
Legislature to defeat my election. Of
course the man who was the instigatOr
and acting party in this intrigue was not
himself bribed, because this crime of
bribery can only be attached to those
whose votes are purchased with money.
His motive, as shown by his own speech
at the election, was merely to accom-
plish my defeat.
Reporter Who is this man York.
who surrendered $1,000, said to have
been received from you?
Mr.. POmeroy He is Judas. He
was one of my bitterest opponents from
the first, and himself a candidate for the
Senatorship. He came around after a
while with some of his friends, and was
warm in his support of me, but finally
threw off the sleeps clothing and show
ed himself wolf. He cannot iniure
me, however, and his case will be set
tied when the investigation is made.
Reporter When you return to Wash
ington, shall you make no explanation
before the Senate?
Mr.. Pomeroy. | shall refrain from
making a statement in detail, because,
as | told you, the case is pending in the
courts. | shall not take occasion in the
Senate, upon my return, to make de-
NAL of these trumped-up charges, and
exonerate myself from guilt We had
the case in court, but the third party-a
man named Clarke, sort of go-between
ran away, and it could not be immedi-
ately tried. have got clear conscience,
and that is good deal of satisfaction.

upon us-the people see how it was done.

THE New FLORIDA SENATOR. We
take from the Sentinel of date June 10.
1870, published by Mr.. Jay, of Trenton,
N. j., the following Preference to DIR.
Simon B. Conoyer, who has been elect
ed United States Senator, successor of
Hon. t. w. Osborn of Florida. This
reference to DR.. Conover should be evil
dence of assurance that although he re-
ceived votes from the Liberal Democra-
cy, as well as the Republicans of the
Florida Legislature, he will be true to
the Republican party of the State and a
supporter of the administration.
OF DR.. Conover we need not particu-
larly speak TO the citizens of Trenton.
He was raised in our midst, and at an
early period of the war devoted his pro-
fessional services to the cause Of the
country. He is most estimable gentle
man, full of vim and energy, and a most
reliable Republican. After the war he
took up his residence in Florida, and the
patriotic and loyal people of that State
have appreciated his many excellent
qualities, and conferred upon him the
responsible position of State treasurer.

The Almighty sOwer
BY REV. GEORGE DUFFIELD.

u
Rapt into ages ancient,
saw sight sublime,
Thrice mystic voices utter,
TITS time tits time us tlihe!
And forth thro' fields unbounded
To farthest verge of space,
There walked form majestic,
Whose hight no eye could trace
Onward he moved, and onward,
Swifter than winged wind,
And light that fain would follo"
He Ieaveth tar behind.
Ten thousand thousand planets
He scatters in his path,
As grain from hands of SoWer,
Or leaves by whirlwind's wrath
Hymning their Creator,
His love and power they own
And straight begin their circuit
Around the eternal throne.
The armament grew brighter
With every golden grain,
As handful after handful
Falls on the azure PLAIN.
GLOW glorious the harvest;
what now / SOW shall yield,
each seed a sun and system,
The universe the Held
Long as l gazed, the Sewer
Kept ON his shining way;
And sages think with reason,
He's sowing worlds to-day.

On Wednesday, Feb. 9th, while some
men were engaged at Highgate Center in
fixing pump log connected with a we'll
80 feet deep, one of them, young man
20 years old, named Joseph Raymond,
being ut work about six feet below the
surface, when the men above him were
Mortified to see the sides cave in, filling
the well completely, as they supposed,
with stones and earth. For the moment
they concluded young Raymond was
buried never more to be seen alive, but
soon hearing faint cries from the well,
they commenced removing the mass of
earth and stones as rapidly as posi-
BILE; and after three hours of severe labor
and digging down some sixteen feet,
Raymond was discovered in STOPPING
posture, the stones being partially wedg-
ed in above him in such a way as to re-
lieve him from the pressure of the fallen
debris, while below him the well was
completely filled. He was not injured
in the least, and his escape from instant
death seems only little short of mira

SUDDEN DEATH. - Mrs. Daniels of
Hubbardton, in this county, in company
with S. G. Gibbs, went to Ripton, on
the eth of January, to visit her rela-
tive, John Duffany, in apparent good
health. She retired at about half past
ten o'clock in the evening, but awoke
sometime after midnight, having burst a
blood vessel in the lungs The family
was aroused and everything done that
could be done for her relief, but with
out avail. She died in few minutes
after the first alarm, and before the ar
rival of the neighbors living near, who
had been sent for at first On the 27th
certain parties not knowing the full facts
of the case, called upon the town au-
thority to make an investigation, who,
after making full inquiries and ascer..
tanning that Mrs. Daniels was consump-
tive, concluded that there was nothing
wrong; in which they were sustained by
the opinion of those cognizant of the
facts, including those who called for the
investigation.
