man would exercise, and which no man should
possess.
We protest especially against the laws which
give to the husband
l. The custody of his wife's person.
2. The exclusive control and guardianship of
their children;
3. The sole ownership of her personal, and
use of her real estate, unless previously settled
upon her, or placed in the hands of trustees, as
in the case of minors, lunatics, and idiots;
A. The absolute right to the product of her
industry;
5. Also, against laws which give to the wild
over so much larger and more permanent an
interest in the property of his deceased wife,
than they give to the widow in that of her de-
ceased husband;
G. Finally, against the whole system by which
"the legal existence of the wife is suspended
during marriage" so that in most States she
neither has legal part in the choice of her
residence, nor can she make will, nor sue or
be sued in her own name, nor inherit property.
We believe that personal independence and
equal human rights can never be forfeited, eX-
cept for crime; that marriage should be an
equal and permanent partnership, and so rec
ognised by law; that until it is so recognised,
married partners should provide against the rad
ical injustice of present laws, by every means in
their power.
We believe that where domestic difficulties
arise, no appeal should be made to legal tribu-
mails under existing laws, but that all difficulties
should be submitted to the equitable adjustment
of arbitrators mutually chosen.
Thus reverencing law, we enter our earnest
protest against rules and customs which are
unworthy of the name, since they violate just
ice, the essence of law.

TER SOVEREIGNTY
oodshed-Lynching-Anarchy.

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT LEAvENWORTII CITY,
KANSAS TERRITORY
From the ST Louis Inteligenccr, May S.
We are indebted to passengers on the Nilsson
ri river packets down last evening for the fol
lowing account of homicide at Leavenworth
city, which has created the most intense excite
ment in and around that town. 1t seems that
there was meeting of squatters and citizens
of the town and neighborhood generally in
Leavenworth city on Monday last, got together
for the purpose of making public demonstra-
ton of opinion with regard to the claims of the
squatters, the election, the Slavery agitation,
and other prominent questions agitated in that
section. There was large attendance OF both
Pro-Slavery and Anti-Slavery men, and the
meeting was characterized by uproariousness,
pickering, confusion, and ebullition of animosi-
ty between the two factions.
A question among others was put to vote by
the chairman, and the vote being close, divi-
sion was called by ordering the ayes to one side
Of the house, and the noes to the other NAL
com Clark, a prominent politician Of the Pro
Slavery faction, and large owner of or a
squatter on land in and about the town, cried
out, " We have the majority" to which law.
yer named McCrea, leader of the Free Soil
faction, answered, otis le;" whereupon
Clark advanced upon him, and struck him with
cluD, winch would nave 1elled him. haQ he
not been prevented by staggering against the
wall. As soon as he recovered from the stun
McCrea drew a revolver and shot Clark, killing
him instantly. McCrea then fed holly pursued
by a number Of Clarks friends, who fired sever
al shots at him, none of which, however, took
effect He ran to the river, and sought shelter
behind the bank, which was abrupt and high,
whence his friends took him in their protection,
removed him to the fort, two miles distant, and
delivered him to the military authorities, who
locked him up in the guard-house.
Great excitement ensued. Threats of mob
violence and Lynch law were circulated, but no
unlawful demonstrations made. A petition was
gotten up by the mob, and signed by three or
four hundred names, requesting the officers in
command at the fort to give up the prisoner,
promising to give him the benefit of an impair
tial trial by jury. The petition was not acce-
ded to, and the prisoner was still confined in
the guard-house at the time our informants
left.
A handful was printed and circulated all
over the country, up and down the river, call
ing upon all Pro-Slavery men, all true friends
Of the South and of Slavery in Kansas, 10 meet
on Thursday, at Leavenworth city, to take into
consideration the aspect of affairs and to adopt
measures of proceeding in the present crisis
The handful is signed B. f. Stringfelow and

unhappy woman, who, screaming louder than
ever, pushes him off, and he conceals himself
under the bed.
Just as the wife, in a supplieating voice, says
to this novel Don Juan, "Ah, Monsieur, go
away, or you will ruin me /" the husband
furiously rushed in, crying, "Ab, the wretch,
l have him now!" and goes in search of his
sword to run him through the body. The wife,
more dead than alive, reiterates, in the midst
of sobs, ely, fly, Monsieur, and save me the
sight of dreadful tragedy"
The husband arrives, armed to the teeth,
followed by the whole household, who seek to
mollify his anger. While two of his friends
hold the husband, a third, STOPPING down, per-
ceives our little friend, who, for good cause,
utters not a word, and, catching him by the leg,
draws him forth from his concealment, when
10, Monsieur Balloon, no longer held down by
