retaliate by refusing to buy their hogs at any
price, charge them three times the market value
for corn, salt and provisions, refuse to rent them
houses at any price to pack away their meat, if
they should determine to bacon it, and determine
that we will not bny their bacon at any price at
any time, however great our necessities may be"
Another drover arrived on Thursday with

which that distinguished gentleman appears IN q
forced and uneasy light. We did not however begin
this article with the intention of commenting upon
the soundness or unsoundness Of his views but rather
to enter our concurrence in the general tone Of regret
and disapprobation which his remarkable and unc1-
pccted course has called forth in all parts of the coun
try The Kansas troubles were about to be turned
over to the people of the State Of Kansas. The coun
try a large was about to be relieved from their voxa
tious consideration And it was oil proceeding in due
form of law; when the Senator from Illinois comes
furiously ON the stage and throws frobrand among
the actors, the flames of which may possibly spread
to the audience and forbid that the play be played out
Tho disappointment and provocation would not be so
great if there any true necessity for this display
of (" hot ignition" But there is none. Every step Of

present Constitution, haro been both legal and honor

All this has been legal and honorable, and Senator

the contrary. But for his timod action, tho whole

Kansas. Fearful Tragedy.

From Kansas, our adyices are again of start

tiers indicates that Governor Walker is, If pos
sible, 10 be driven up to the lighting point,-as
if TO furnish the Republicans with capital
for investgnent 10 the coming fall electons.--
Political excitement, however, is varied with
dresdfnl transactions OF another character.-
The murder and lynching affair at Leaven-
worth, alluded TO by telegraph. II seems that
a Mr.. Stevens, from st. Louis, having put up
at the Planters hotel in that city. fell into the
company OF q man named Bayse, with whom, in
Oh evening, he walked a short distance back of
the city. Presently Bayse came in haste to the
hotel with the intelligence that himself and
Stevens had been attacked by a couple of armed
rufhaDs, and that he feared his companion was
murdered. A crowd repaired TO the spot, and
there lay the unfortunate man bathed in blood
his assassins having inf cled sufficient wounds
upon his. person to let out half dozen lives
Then suspicion was excited against Bayse, who
was taken into custody and finally acknowl-
edged that be was connected with the two
m6rderers, and that for some time previous they
bad BEEN implicated in a series of murders and
TObberies-one OF which they had perpetrated
but a short time previous TO the assassna ton
OF Stevens, and had cast the body into the river
This confession was fully substa Inflated by
parks OF blood found upon the river bank. as
we'll as by the hat aud other articles of clothing
which were found belonging 10 the murdered
man. The excitement was intense, and the
two associates of Bayse were sreedi aptured
The next morning the feelings of the populace
could not be controlled. The jail was broken
open. and Bayse and one afthe murderers named
Quarrel, taken out and hanged by the mob,
upon the tree nearest The prison. The third
miscreant was spared, under the impression of
bis making further developments
On Sunday, as the boat passed down, the
ringleaders OF the gang--a man named Wood
and another named knight or Knighton-were
in the hands oftho citizens and we're to be hung
in the evening. Wood was making his viii
wnd knight was writing confession. Wood
s supposed TO possess q considerable amount OF
property, probably the proceeds Of his daboIi-

The names of those who were implicated by
the young man who confessed were unknown.

The NATioNAL HOTEL DIsEAsE.-The
peculiarities Of the disease that has caused
so much mortality among the boarders at
the National Ho!cl, (says the Cincinnati
Times, has given rise to great deal Of
surmise in all quarters The last theory,
lolerably well supported by the facts, is
that near the middle of February, while
the disease was prevalent among the guests,
some Of them having become convinced
that the use of coPper cooking vessels occa-
stoned the disease, demonstrated with the
proprietors, and enameled vessels of iron
were substituted; while these were used
no neU cases occurred; but after a
few days, the Hotel being again filed with
guests, the panic having ceased, the use
ofcopper vessels was resumed, and The
malady again made its appearance. This
is fact which VIC have not before seen
publicly stated.

Latest frOm Ttah.

The St. Louis Republican announces the
arrival in that city of several gentleman
who left Salt Lake city the middle of April,
in company with Judge Stiles, Mr.. Will
l,ams, and another. Only one United
States officer is left in the Territory-an
agent for the Indians, residing among them,
who thinks they will protect him against
the Mormons should they attack him.
The situation of affairs in the Territory
is represented as very unsatisfactory. The
government officers did not feel safe in the
bounds Of Salt Lake city, and made their
escape. Their presence was indeed no
longer necessary, as their official functions
had nearly ceased by reason of the acts of
the Utah Territorial Legislature
That body framed laws creating new
courts-a magistrates court, and a court
of probate in each county-and appointed
Mormons TO perform the duties These
courts superseded the district courts Of the
United States, although the laws provided
for an appeal from the decision of the for.
mer. In most instances, however, the ap-
peal never was grated; and when Judge
Stiles demonstrated with Brigham Yonng
against this course, the governor told him
TO he quiet; that they knew what laws
suited them better than the Congress of the
United States, and that they intended TO
abide by them. When Judge Stiles became
satisfied OF the uselessness of attempting to
hold his court he gave it up and returned
the States.
Several persons were murdered during
tho winter by agents of the mormons.
They were what are called apostates from
the church, and designed to make their es-
cape.
