While visiting Mr. Hyatt in jail, which I did many times, I often met theie Senators Summer and Wilson, besides several other Mem- bers of Congress, and was here, let into the ways of politicians. Judging from what I had seen in the Tribune, and other Republi- can papers, I conceived that the "border ruffians" of Missouri de- served only "shooting on sight, " particularly two brothers, whom the Tribune thought, had names suggestive of what their fate should be — Stringfellows. General Pomeroy o...n the other hand had become particularly odious to the party, who were trying to make Kansas a slave state. One day while I was in conversation with Senator Sumner, and Mr. Hyatt. General Pomeroy was announced, and came in followed by a gentlemanly looking, tall westerner, whom he introduced as General or Colonel Stringfellow. Thinking there might arise a question of "coffee and pistols for two, " I was some- what startled. Presently General Pomeroy explained, that there was a land deal premediated, and that by uniting their forces, the leaders of the two warring factions thought they could secure the "appropriate legislation, " they needed from Congress.
