Regulating The Whisky Shops.

At Frankfort, Missouri, last week,
the people resolved to rid their town
of all the whisky shops. They first
met in the church. After several
speeches were made by prominent
citizens of the place, crowd Of some
thing like one hundred arrayed them.
selves in double women in front,
armed with axes and hatchets-
marched to the door of Thompson &
Cures liquor warehouse. They tried
to open the door, but found it very se-
curely fastened but, not wishing to
he foiled in their efforts, they procured
a fence-rail and forced the door in.
The men entered and the women
remained outside. The first move
was to gauge the barrels, and FIJI a
small bottle from each vessel as a sam
pie. They then rolled the barrels out
into the street, placing them in a row,
with heads up. This accomplished,
the word of command was given, and
the women formed in line on either
side of the barrels. When all was
ready they ''pitched in" with their
axes and hatchets, and, in "less than
no time" the contents of the vessels
were gushing down the cutters ofthe
street. When the liquor was all de-
stroyed the crowd set up deafening
yell, and proceeded to small "shanty"
where "red EYE" is known to be sold.
The lady whe keeps the "shanty,"
anticipating an attack from this mob,
filled all her pots and kettles with
water and placed them upon brisk
fire. So, when the crowd arrived,
she had her implements OF war ready
for an attack. The men attempted
an entrance, but were repulsed with a
bucket of boiling water following close
to their heels. The old woman 6e.
clared "she would scald any son of a
- that would attempt to destroy
her liquor" The crowd made several
attempts to gain admittance, but the
old lady was too well fortified. After
some consultation the crowd dispersed
leaving the old lady the victGr.

The Habeas Corpus Law RepeaI-
ed

The Legislature has repealed the
law passed by the Republicans which
amended the " habeas corpus act
The fleet Of this amendment WAS to
produce collision between the State
aud National authorities. All the
Republicans voted against the repeal,
save Mr.. Harrison, who advocated it,
much to the modification and chagrin
of his brethren. The old habeaS cor
pus of the English law, and the only
one recognized by the Federal ConSti-
tuition, aud protected especially by its
provisions, was to this effect: that any
citizen could cue out writ from a
Judge of q Court of Record, address.
ed to any persons having prisoners in
their custody, to show cause why they
were held in confinement. This glo-
rious old writ OF liberty, which had
existed for hundreds of years, did not
suit the purposes of the Black Repub'
licans. They sought to destroy its
character and turn the writ into a mere
ordinary capias, by an amendment de.
claring that the writ should not be ad.
dressed to the person having the pris-
oners in custody, but to the sheriff of
the county, commanding him to go
and take them! This was done, not
50 secure personal rights, for that was
effected by the genuine haJeaS corpus
but to strike down and nullity the
law of the U. States providing for the
rccapture offugitive slaves. The sher-
if was authorized with his posse, to
stop the United States Marshal and
take his prisoners from him, and bring
them before a State Court. This, OF
course, could lead to nothing but a
conflict Of jurisdiction between the
I 40 governments, which might even
tuatc in struggle Of armed and con-
tending forces. The mischievous pow
er given to State sheriffS to seize ..
s. Marshal's prisoners has been ahro'
gated, and hereafter State and Nation
al authorities will not be likely to
clash. In the meantime, the old ha'
bsas corpus, which has been restored,
will abundantly secure personal liber'
ty.

Calhoun Gives Certificates TO the
Free STATE Officers.

A dispatch from Washington says:
"Recent information removes all doubt
as to the election of the Free State
ticket, and therefore, General Calhoun
has declared his intention to give Ger
titicates accordingly"
A good resolution. Had Calhoun
issued certificates to the proper per.
sons at once and without hesitation,
half of the trouble about the admiS'
sion of Kansas wonld have been pre-
vented. So palpable is it that the
Free State officers were elected, that
Mr.. Cole, one Of the pro-slavery can
didates for the Legislature, has pub
lished a letter saying that he will re-
sign his seat, should he be rendered a
certificate, because he believes he was
elected by fraudulent votes. This ac-
tion OF Mr.. Cole, it is said, would
give the Free.State men majority in
the Legislature.

tho purPort that the undersigned sold certain
house and lot, in the village Of PrAttsyille in this
county to Mr. James Hurley, since deceased; and
that after the decease Of the said Hurley, | had
made a deed TO his widow for only oNE-THIRp Of
the ground sold with the house, and that the OIL
er two-thirds were retained by mo for the
small sum of twenty-five dollars, the amount
unpaid by the said Hurley at his death. Also,
that the House and lot in question was sold by
me TO the said Hurley for the sum of s225,
My object in this communication is TO deny,
in positive and unqualified terms, that said house
and lot were sold by me for that sum and to
say that did not, as stated in that paper, retain
two-thirds Of the land for the non-payment Of
S25.
Justice 10 myself, as well as to those gentlemen
who were induced to sign their names TO the r.

Special Correspondence Of the Enqnirer.
From Washington
WASHINGTON, March II


A memorial was yesterday presen-
ted to Congress from the Legislature
OF Utah. Being read, it was almost
universally stigmatized as the most
defiant, dictatorial, arrogant and i'm.
pudent document that ever emanated
from any source. Itarraigns the Ad-
ministration and Congress-, and die
tates what they will have, and what
they will not have. 1t cannot fail to
impress the fact upon the mind of the
entire American people that the half
has not been told of the revolutionary
arrogance and rebellious character Of
the people who inhabit that God for
saken Territory. The Government is
bound by every consideration to use
decisive steps to bring about a ditfeI-
ent state ofthings in that Territory.
The Anti Lecomptonites, including
the Republicans, recusant Democrats,
and their recent allies, u portion Of
Southern Know-Nothings, have been
endeayoring to count small majority
for their policy. They have been un-
able to make any better count than a
tie vote; thus throwing the casting
vote upon the Speaker--thereby &C.
knowleding the passage of Lecompton.
| |, however, know that it will pass by
a considerable majority. Ohio will
tgive four Democratic votes; Gilmer,
Of North Carolina, may be relied on
to 60 for it; Caruthers, Of Missouri,
will be here in a few days, and Ri
caud and Harris, of Maryland, are
supposed to favor Lecompton. TAX
ing this view of the strength, we will
find that, instead of being carried by
the vote ofthe Speaker, it will have q
clear maiarity of seven. A majority
of ten is claimed by large number Of
close observers.
Mr.. CovOde, Representative from
Pennsylvania, Yesterday introduced q
resolution to close the session the first
of June, 1t passed mem. con. Nc
value or consideration was attached
to it. With all due diligence and
anxiety for adjustment on the part o.
the majority, the Kansas matter will
consume the time near up to that pc.
riod and Congress will never consent
to adjourn, and leave the pressing and
proper business devOlving upon them
not legislated upon.
Admiral Mohammed Pacha, of the
Turkish Navy, and suite, have reach
ed here. One would infer, from the
newspaper accounts, that our city
would be all in a blaze of glory on &C
count oftheir arrival. No such thing;
everybody is pursuing the even tenor
of his way; no gunpowder or rockets
are wasted no pageant displays an

bracing thirteen counties, were left
ont ofthe apportionment. These were,
as will appear from what has been
stated, the 18th district, being Frank.
lin county; the 14th, including We'll
Ter, Breckenridge, Wise and Madison;
the 18th, Butler and Coffee; the 18th,
Anderson county, and the 10Th, Wood
son, Wilson, Greenwood; Godfrey and
Hunter.
Of these thirteen counties nine had
but small population in them. This
(apart from the statement of Mr.. Cal
houn and other reliable iIformation)
clearly appears from the returns oil
the election on the 4th OF ofJanuary last,
the official announcement OF which is
filed with the papers Of this report
From that it will be seen that not a
vote was returned as having been cast
in that election in Ssgen of these Mir-
teen counties about the disfranchise-
ment ofwhich so much complaint has
been made. These seven couEties are
Weller, Wise, Butlei, Wilson, God.
frey, Greenwood and Hunter. Nor
was there a vote at that election in

ties, of Washington, Clay and Dickin.

In two of the thirteen counties stated

son-there were but 80 votes cast
40 in the former and 80 in the latter;
and but 1,135 in the four remaining
to wit: Franklin, 3O4; Breckin,
ridge, 191; Coffee, 453, and Ander,
son, III; so that if the election of the
4th Of January should be received as
evidence of anything, it would prove
nothing more conclusively than that
the clamor about the disfranchisement
of half the people, or even consider,
able portion ofthe people of the Terri
tory, is utterly groundless, and resort,
ed to only as q pretext for the want oI
something more solid, This pretext
becomes the more glaring when the
cause of there being no registry in
these four counties of Franklin, Breck.
inridge, Anderson and Coffee is un'
derstood. This is fully explained mol
only by the statement Of Mr.. Calhoun
alluded to, but by the deposition o.
George Wilson, to be found in Senate
Document No. 80, at this session. -
From these and other notorious facts
the real and true cause Of failure Of
registry of voters in these counties,
and a consequent failure of represen,
tation being apportioned to them in
the convention, too clearly appears to
need much explanation. The parties
in whose behalf the cry Of disfran-
chisement is now raised prevented the
registry themselves. Since the Or
ganization of that Territory there has
been in it q class ofmen whose avow-
ed object was tooppose and overthrow
all legal authority. They went there
with this purpose. Their object wsa
to set up an imperium IN anape,1O.
In the language ofthe President, they
have been in estate of rebellion"
against the legally lly-constituted author
tiles from the beginning. This is
fully established by numerous reports
of Governor Shannon, Geary and
Walker, and Secretary Stanton. They
were, to a great extent, the emissaries
of those who denounced the Kansas
Bill, when itpassed, as agreat wrong
and an outrage and who were re-
solved to defeat its peaceful operation" +"
