ATcHIsoN's LAST CRIME.-The organ
Of Col. Benton in St. Louis, charges upon
Senator Atchison that he was instrumental
in defeating the Abolition party in Kansas
Territory, in the late election. Horrible
that, amt it! We don't often agree with
Atchison, nor are we in favor of his pro-
motion to office, but if he contributed only
the weight of feather towards defeating
the Abohtionists, he but did his duty, and
deserves, along with Doniphan and scores
of others, who aided in that matter, the
gratitude Of the people of Missouri.

STRANGE TUB IN THE OFFING.-On
Sunday last our citizens were amused at
the appearance Of craft Of strange and
diminutiye appearance and size for the
waters Of the Missouri. We noticed sew
eral .flibusteros standing on the levee,
with brick-bats in hand, no doubt intending
to give the stranger Spanish salute, if
she did not round to. 1t turned out, how
ever, to be the Financier No. 2, only eight
days out, and bound for the Kansas river.
Upon an examination of her cargo, contra
band articles from Ohio, Indiana. and Bos-
ting, intended for the Kansas market were
found. On the appearance of this strange
craft we could think of nothing but good
sized Pennsylvania wagon with paddle
wheel at the lend gate" The Financier,
we understand, had on about double the
number of passengers, which, by law, she
was allowed to carry, and of course sick
ness ensued Lexington Express.

Salt Lake Mail.

The Salt Lake mail for March arrived
few days since-about two weeks behind
its time This failure was occasioned, as
we have been informed, by deep SHOWS In
the mountains, and the slow pace at which
the government escorts, with the mail, trav-
eled. The Indians seem to be quiet, and
peacably disposed towards the whites, SO
far as we could learn.
We received a file of the Desert News
from December to the first of March but
it contains little news of interest. The
Mormons have had good time of it through
the winter-eating, drinking, dancing and
going to the theatre being the order of the
day. The anti-deluvians, in the days of
Noah, were engaged in the same exercise,
but we are not prepared TO say that the end
of the former will be similar to the latter.
The Legislative Assembly adjourned on
the 18th Of January. after conviyial ses-
sion of forty days and forty nights"-the
same length of time it rained on the afore-
said anti-deluvians. AS yet, the News has
published but little the Assembly did. The
Assembly granted Brigham Young and
others the right to make canal from Big
Cottonwood creek into Grand Salt Lake
City, giving strip of land one mile on the
east and half mile wide on the west side
of the canal through its entire length.
The News says:
This work is designed to be permanent
and will be constructed for the purpose Of
boating granite rock from Big Cottonwood
for the Temple and for building up this
City, and from an abundant supply of wa.
ter, viii afford great facilities for bringine
the adjacent valuable land in a high state
of cultivation and for propelling machine.
ry of all descriptions.
1t is desirable to have the canal in read
mess for boating rock by year from mex
June, and with view of expediting the
work, among the modes, we propose to lie
out contracts for labor payable in lane
along the route and in credit on tithing.
The Salt Lakers are in great glee owe
the idea of Adams & Co., starting an ex
press from San Francisco to St. Louis, b,
way of salt Lake City. They have rea
son to rejoice over it, if it turns out to be
little more regular in its trips, than tn,

TENNESSEE FoLUNrEERs.-We learn
from the Nashville Banner that a meeting
was held at the Court House in McMinn-
Vile on Saturday week, for the purpose of
organizing a volunteer company to offer
their services to the Government for the
protection of our western frontier against
the rarages of the Indians, which have
been committing depredations of heinous
nature upon persons and property. Sixty
names were enrolled as twelve months
volunteers, and they organized temporarily
by electing George Mcknight captain.

Boating Monopoly-What is to be Donea

Boating Monopoly-What is to be Done9
The business portion of the community
on the Missouri river are becoming great
ly incensed at the monopoly that at present
exists on our river. The boats have en-.
tered into combination and hired all the
Pilots, and they get exhorbitant wages eth
er TO work or play. If they work they on
ly go on such boats as the combination
have an interest in. All transient boats
are shut out. The price of freight, per
hundred, is 81 to this place, and 50 to St.
Joseph; whereas, it was formerly from 90
to IS cts in the packettrade, and and about
90 cts above, and boats made money at
that. If this combination were broken
up, and all boats that choose, permitted to
come into our river, freights would come
down TO figure that sugar, coffee, iron,
&c., could be brought up, and our hemp,
tobacco, wheat, sc, be taken out and a
profit realised.
The Liberty Tribune proposes conven-
1lOn OF merchants ana business men al
Lexington, in May or June, to take some
steps to prevent such course in future
If the St. Louis press will speak out it car
do much, and if it be true to the interests d
the city, longer silence will work an injury
greater tha~may be imagined. The In
telligencer is the only paper that has spo.
ken on the subject. VIII it follow it up?

EgWe have on our table copy of a
paper called "The State of Maine," pub
lished at Portland, in which we find reg
ular down-easter's letter, dated Lawrence,
X. T., March Is, 1885," signed at the
bottom ~. S. E." The letter is singu-
lar mixture of the ridiculous and of false
hood. The writer after exposing--a fab
ricated story, we say-what he calls an
attempt on the part of Missourians to play

slaves from the other side of the line runs

Here was a Russian on one knee

ESaS Here was Russian on one knee,
in the act of taking aim; the muzzle of his
fireiock rested on forlzed stick. He was
dead: the side of his head had been knock
ed off by a cannon shot. His death was SO
sudden and quick that he was not knocked
down; and the remaining part of his face
still looked sternly along the frelock. 1t
was an astonishing sight, every one that
could, came to look at him.-EGtract of a

thurs Home Gazette, with nearly twenty
thousand subscribers, the price of which
was 81 per copy, and 81 to clubs, is to be
stopped. Reason: could not afford it at
thatprice, without running the conductors.
It is becoming evident every day that the
attempt to publish newspapers under price
Is ruinous to publishers, to the mechanics
employed, and to those from whom mate

esty demands that such undertakings, like
all others, should have a reasonable remu-
ncration for value given.
