The Missouri Bond N1urderers-P eign OF Ter
ror at Hoiden--Arrival of Militia
Holden, No., April 2S.-The reign of
terror in Cass county, instead Of abating, is
on the increase. The civil authorities are
perfectly poweress to enforce the law, and
the lives and property of the people are at
the mercy of the mob.
Twelve men, old citizens of HARRISON
Vile, who were bondsmen of Cline, to-
gether with the minister who performed the
last rites at his funeral, were ordered to
leave to-day within twenty-four hours or
be shot. They acc cordingly left.
The mob are furious, and have decreed
to slay all the principals in the bond mat
ter, their bondsmen and all who sym
pathize with them in the attempt to defend
them. Nothing but the strong arm of the
law will preserve the peace and bring the
murderers to justice.
| A company of militia arrived this eyen-
| ing from Kansas City, and the citizens feel
somewhat relieved, but hope that Governor
Brown will feel that one company is too
small force to contend against an armed
organization of 900 or 1000 desperadoes.

pondence states, said to Mr.. Schenck, "that
it is the understanding of the United States
that the British government is bound under
the treaty to file counter-case, and that
their doing so will not prejudice the posi-
ton they have taken, nor affect the posi-
ton of the United States, but that the
rights of both parties will be the same aftel
the filing as before"
