ports that party of several hundred Nor.
mons, just from Utah, and en- route for
the Southern part of Kanzas, where they pro-
pose to settle, passed Fort Leavenworth on
Tuesday. They are heartily sick of the ty-
rannical rule of the Mormon leaders, and
were fearful, if they remain, of suffering vio-
lence during the anticipated conflict between
the United States government and the Brig
ham Young oligarchy: The st. Louis Demo

arrived at Omaha, N. T., on the second inst,

They we're loud in their denunciations Of

belief that large number of the inhabitants

Mon VIOLENCE IN New YoRK.-Attack on
the Quarantine Buiidings-M Men Killed.-An
attack was made last Saturday night upon the
New York Metropolitan Police force, and the
Hospital buildings at Seguines Point. About
one hundred oystermen, and others, hostile
to the selection of that locality for temporary
quarantine, participated in the assault. The
assailants fred over a hundred shots upon the
policemen, and were finally driven away by
Capt. Walling bringing out his cannon and
howitzers. 1t is supposed that several of the
assailants were killed and wounded. None
of the police were injured.
The greatest excitement relative to the at"
tack prevails upon Staten Island.
The Sheriff OF that county, and the Quar-
antine Commissioners, have been notified of
the occurrence, and are making active pre-
partitions tie resist any future attack.
serious riot occurred Sunday evening be-
tween the German and Irish population of
the 18th Ward, and the Metropolitan police
force, which resulted in the death of Ger
man named Muller, who was passing the
scene of riot at the time with his wife and
child.
Sergeant Hedden, of the 18th Ward police,
it is feared, is fatally wounded, and several of
the police we're more or less injured Six or
seven Of the Iingleaders were arrested, and at
late hour all was reported quiet in that
Ward.

SHOOTING FUGITIvEs ON THE FOURTH
Nashville, Washington Co., Ill.,, July 4-The
citizens of this place have just been engaged
in celebrating this anniversary of our indie
pendence by holding an inquest over the body
of fugitive slave, who was shot last night
in the vicinity.
1t was reported in town yesterday that
three runaway slaves were in the neigbor-
hood, and last night large crowd started out
in search of them. After securing the coun-
try for several hours in vain, most of the
crowd returned, but detached party of some
half dozen, in returning, tmet with the I'M
fortunate fugitives in the road, some two
miles East Of the town, and ordered them to
surrender.
The evidence before the jury on the indict.
ment was, that one of the negroes made fight
with pistol in each hand, and was shot by
one of the kparty IN self-defence. But the
wound showed that he was shot while run
ming, for gentleman who had examined the
wound told me that the hole made by the
bullet was much larger behind than before
He was shot through the lower part of the
abdomen, and died in about an hour and a
half after. The other two fugitives made
their escape, though they were fred upon as
they ran, and il is thought by the party that
one of them was wounded.-Co Chicago

STATE CoNsTI1UTIoNs.-1he Charleston rs.
CD Mercury, an unprincipled defender of the
basest sort of border ruffianism, undertakes
to show that the Constitutions of eighteen
States have not been ratified by popular
vote, and hopes thus to establish favorable
precedent for the plan which its friends de.
sire to adopt in Kanzas. Among the States
IS whose Constitutions have not been submit
ted for ratification" it counts Massachusetts,
Maine, New York, Kentucky, and Iowa-but
SO far as these are concerned, the Mercury's
statements fall to the ground in the face of the
facts, and the falsehood having been exposed
in five instances, how can the remaining
thirteen be believed with any certaintys We
are willing, however, to except South Caro-.
lima, which is placed in this list of States, as
it would be a SANDER upon her citizens to
assert that they actually sustained such a
Constitution at the polls.
Massachusetts, voted upon her present Con-
stitution in April, 1921, and adopted nine of
the fourteen articles submitted; this change
in the Constitution being required by the
separation Of Maine, that State had already
ratified its Constitution and been admitted
into the Union. In New York the present
Constitution was adopted in 1916, by vote
of 22l,52S yeas to 92,436 nays. The Con-
stitution OF Kentucky was adopted four years
later, in 1850, and the vote upon it was H.
563 in favor, to 2O,SO2 against Iowa also
adopted her present Constitution in 1916,
when she was admitted into the Union and
new instrument having been framed at a
convention held last Winter, is to be voted
upon at the annual election in August next.
The Mercury's fgurea may possibly answer
their purpose down South, but they are of no
sort of use up this way, where the people
know better.-Springtfeld Republican.

in the bred Scott case, and argues that
the application of the same principles to the

that Territory in the full and free exercise of
the Mormon faith. The News says:
I" The Supreme Court of the United States
have decided that the act of Congress known
as the Missouri Compromise, about which
politicians have harped so much, is unconsti-
tutional, and therefore null and void, and
that Congress has no power over the question
Of slavery in the territories, and Of course
none over the question of polygamy. Those

Ter from harm and preserve the public peace
