A Remarkable Transaction.

The last number of the Eastern Clarion,
published at Paulding. Miss, gives account of
a swap negotiated in that vicinity by two of
its subscribers and vouches for the truth of
the story. The chattles which changed own
ers were nothing less than the wives of the
parties, who were on the eve of emigrating, as
they eventually did, the one to Alabama and
the other to Texas. The Clarion refrains from
giving the real names of the faithless Benedicts,
and calls them Obadiah and Dick, but records
the circumstances of the transaction-how they
went into the woods, sat down on q log, and
entered upon the business how they came
near spelling the trade because Obe's wife was
younger critter" by dozen years, and
how, after much chaffering, the difference was
finally equalized by the generous proposal of
Dick to give in the way of boot, ga cow and
calf, two goats, an old gun and an ox-bel."
The respective children of the two mothers re-
manned with their respective fathers, and with
their strangely acquired step-mothers, followed
them to the States of their adoption, and
among the free and enlightened electors of Al
ALBANIA we have the Clarion's authority for
numbering Dick, who now has possession of
the person of Sall whose years and LONELINESS
were balanced by boot against the attractions
and youth of Poll, who has gone with ODE to
Texas. The Clarion is unfeignedly surprised
that two of its subscribers should not have i'm
bibed from its columns "purer morality and
more manly estimate of Heaven first, best gilt
to man." .-. ....

It is we'll understood that there i power
ful secret organization in Kansas at all hazards.
Those &hosdolnot Jisld 10 itapurposes are to
be driven from the territory, while those who
resist the invasion, are, to be tshot down as
dogs Ourreaders will recollect the recent
case of the shooting of Clark bya man named
NcCrea in the territory, growing out of an
alteration relative to Slavery and squatter
sovereignty. The facts are, that McCrea dis
puted the word of Clark at q public meeting,
when the latter struck McCrea down with q
bludgeon. McCrea, on recovering, his feet,
drew his pistol, and shot his antagonist dead.
And it is question whether the act was not
one of selfdefence Now see what the organ
of the Atchison conspirators, the Squatter
Sovereign, of May Sd, says of the affair 'l'
"He will not live to be tried. An outraged
people are anxiously awaiting an opportunity
to deal out summary punishment to the often
der. Hanging is death entirely too good
for such villain. let him be tortured, and
his friends hung! Hope is beyond his reach.
The blood of the murderer will not sat-
isfy US !! That would~be placing too little an
estimate on the life of our deceased friend
"Blood for blood p but for each drop spilled,
we shall require one hundred fold !
As long as ONE abolitionist remains in the ter
ritory, such occurrences will be numerous both
here and in Missouri. Let US begin to purge
ourselves of all abolitionist emissaries who oc
cupy our domain, and give distinct notice that
all who do not leave Immediately for the east,
will leave for eternity" ,.

more privilege" than individuals in the matter
Of libes-and ought to be held to strict accounta.
hiliy or any exhibition of malice or intent in this d..
rectionits freedom to speak the truth for justi6abs
ends should be protected. A point was settled in
recent suit brought against the editors Of the New
York Sun. The name OF the plaintiff, Matthews,
was used in police report, under circumstances
where the fact placed him in unfavorable light be-
fore the public. Relying upon the principle in the
English law of libel which declares " the greater the
truth the greater the libel" Matthews sued the pro.
pretors Of the Office for the recovery OF damages
On the trial Judge Roosevelt, in his charge to the
jury, distinctly enunciated this principle. He said
" the rule 10, that party who usti6es the publish
ing Of libel, by attempting to prove that what was
pubshed was true, must show that in its substance
and meaning the facts the article states; and
although every part Of article claimed to be libel
lous a whole, is not proved to be true by the de-
fence, yet If what Is left is Of itself lbellous, the
defence il made out. = The law allows a man
to publish anything Of another, provided it is true
and IL complete defence that the nrtcle 10 true.

Troubles at Salt Lake.

There appears to have been some disgracefu scenes
transacted lately in Utah. Ever since Col. Steptoe
has been nominated az Governor, the Deseret News,
Brigham's Young's organ, has been teeming with
panegyrics on the I" galian. Colonel" and Orson
Hyde, the chief of the Twelve Apostles, has decIar-
ed to the universal world that s. Col. Steptoe Is
great man." Those who were not previously aware
off the fact know il for certainty, for it is
dorscd by the venerable apostle.
But while the most fulsome praises of the Colonel
have been circulated by the columns of the church
paper, merely to deceive persons at distance, the
officers and of the Colonel's command have, on
several occasons been publicly blackguarded and
suited in open day. As sample, party Of officers
Of the army lately riding out with some ladies.
in Salt Lake City, when they were set upon by
mob Of Mormous, among whom were the sons of Brig
ham Young and Heber C. Kimball, Presidents Of the
Church, and two others, Huntington and Moore
These men rode by the party 1t full speed, waving
their hats and shouting the most opprobrious cpl
thets and vulgar oahs in hearing Of the ladies, aud
endsavored TO frghten their horses. One Of the Ia.
dies, the daughter Of Hon. Judge Kinney, Chief JUS
tice Of Utah, only saved from being thrown from
her horse and injured by the GOODNESS Of gentle
man, who seized the bride and with difficulty re-
strained her horse.
Az the officers wished to proceed lawfully, instead
Of putting few bullets through the chief actors in
the dsgracefu affair, the represented to The
Mayor, Jedediah M Grant A mock trial was gone
through; and though the conduct Of the mob was in
direct violation Of the city ordinances, it discov
cred that the individuals stood high in the church
to be punished the case was dismissed and the costs
of the court amounting to an almost fabulous sum,
thrown upon the plaintiffs During the trial the
ladies, who were present witnssses were grossly
insulted by low fellow witness for the defence
The greatest excitement prevailed during the trial
nearly two hundred armed Mormons being collected
in and about the Mayors Office.
The anti-American feeling seems to run high in
Salt Lake City, and the Gentle residents anticipate
q rupture. The sooner it comes the better. The
Mormons, has been Demonstrated cannot live with
any other people, not accosat of their religious
tenets, bat their utter disregard Of all law and decen.
