SLOVe's Labor LOst.H

In the New York Supreme Court, on
Friday, haJeas corpus case, brous ht by
a husband to Obtain possession Of his
wife, was commenced ana bids fair to exc
cite as much attention as the famous John
Dean elopemeut. The N. Y. EVeHing
Post gives the following particulars of the
flair: The petitioner, George Taylor. a
clerk in a dry goods store, about year
ago became engaged to Emma A. Taylor,
then Miss Hawley. Tbs young lady then
lived with her mother, Mrs Wright, who
IS widow, and Mr.. Taylor being an in-
innate friend Of the family, boarded with
them. 1t was arranged that the marriage
should take place in December last, but
some difficulties having occurred. Mrs.
Wright had insisted that the engagement
should be broken off. Mr.. Taylor. how.
ever, continued to live in the family, and
finally determined to he married in spite
of Mr.. Wrght's opposition.
The following plan WAS fixed upon: On
Saturday night, Jan. 9th, the mother aud
her son, Mss Hawley, Mr.. Taylor and
Mr., William s. Ford, made up party to
visit Wallack's Theater. MI. Ford and
Miss Hawley fingered behind the others.
and firally, without being noticed. left the
theater and drove to the house Of friend
in Ninth street. Mr.. Tayl lor being sent to

er. The mother, until the last few
months, had approved of and even eueour-
aged lbe engagement Of her daughter.
Mr.. Taylor's enjoyment of welded life
was suddenly cut short by the disappear.
ance of bis wife. On the Monday follow
ing the marriage he acknowledged to MIS-.
Wright that be had been married to her
daughter, since which time all intercourse
between the young couple had been deni
ed. His writ of hu6sos corpus was taken
out for the purpose Of recovering posses
sion of her. The mother denies all knowl
edge of ber whereabouts, and says that she
left home of her own accord. The case

To the Editor of the NY Tribune:

To tie Editor Of the " Y Tribune:
SIR:-l recommend to Mr. Buchanan the
following plan for crushing out tue Little
Giant:
/. Let the Little Giant he fastened 10
his seat in the Senate Chamber. with his
head beat down and his legs under the
desk, in such lnaner as to make it i'm
possible for him to rise; and let all weapons
be taxi en- from him il he has any.
2. Let Mr.. Xneilt of South Carolina
provide hiI self with a heavy clue, bowl,
knife and revolver.
8. Let Mr.. Kett be furnished will
a body gaurd consisting of two members
Of Congress one from South Carolina and
ore from Virginia. armed to the teeth
1 Let Mr. K lit with his body gaurd
be admitted into tue Senate Chanb Der, and
let the body gaurd keep near enough tc
him to save him from all possible danger
s. Let Mr.. Kett chivslrously buI
cautiously creep up to the Little Giant aud
bent him sensess with his club. Let the
beptiugs he continued for few minutes
upon the head of the Little Giant after
he shall have fallen upon the floor, so that
he may be fully 'saLdued',
The plan, ifthoroughly carried out would
be practical, ChivaIrc. safe-(this point
NJ. Keitt will appreciate )-and efectual
1t would relieve Mr.. Buchanan from
much trouble: would be heartily applauded
by Fernando Wood and the rest of the

A WoRD TO SENSIBLE MrssoURIANs.--
Is it pleassnter to he neighborly, or to have
and hear words Of strife? Is 1t wiser aud
better for Kansas and Missouri to he Oh
good terms, or to create aud encourage
hate and the spirit of bloody revenge be-
:ween their cltlzens9 Few are the men,
in Missouri, we trust. who would or could
hesitate in answering these questionsl
Then how comes 1t, We ask, that the con,
siderate and sensible men of our sister
State who are opposed to violence, and 10
any interference with Kansas, do not exert
their influence on the right side? Why
is it that meetings are called in Missouri
to consider and settle the affairs of Kan
sasi How comes it that resolutions are
passed as to what should or should not be
done, in regard to our policyl We have
no such meetings in Kansas in referer ce
to Missouri. We pass no resolutions as TO
the policy which our neighbOrs should or
should not adopt. We desire to let them
alone, as ne desire to be let alone 10y them.
We write in M fear. We are able to
take care Of ourselves now, and in a year
or two more could hsrass aud perplex Mis-
souri seriously. And if our citizens are
threatened, if the reckless and bad in our
sister State are permitted to wrong and in.
suit them, the result will be, that anger,
hate aud a spirit of revenge will grow and
concentrate, and find vent when they have
the power to CRAFTY those feelings. We
write. we repeat, in no fear either Us TO the
present or future. The Freemen of Kan
sss can and WILL take care Of themselves
whatever tie odds against them. But
they want, as We want, to be neighbolIy:
20 put down violence; to respect our neigh.
bors and to have them respect US; in short,
TO be friends,
Now let the sensible citizens of Nilsson.
ri consider these suggestions, and act upon
them. There is moral power esough in
every county, along our border to restrain
invasion, and every lawless action against
Kansas. II that shall be exerted, all will
be we'll for Missouri;-if not much social
and materia! Ill will result. We do not
speak threatening9. Ourpurpose is kind
ly, and we simply desire that it may be
met with purpose as kindly. q =
