Ii appears fron. our despatches that we
are having a hot political stew in Kansas
at last. The story, as it comes to Us, is this:
That 'three Free Soiler went to ft settler
house named Coleman, who is a Pro-Slavery
niari, aud ordered him off. f They were
armed, and gave the man only 10 minutes
to leave. " He (eft for a short time, but re
turned well armed.'. lie met one of the
three men, who renewed bis threats and at
tempted to' shoot Coleman, but his gun
missed fire. -Coleman then shut his assail
ant, who died immediately. Coleman gsve
himself up for trial. A mob of Aboli tion
ists, armed with Sharpe rifle, repaired to
Coleman' house, driving his wife and
children off burned his house, and ordered
other Pro-Slavery men to leave and burned
their houses. Deputy Marshal Jone ar
rested the leader of the mob, aud obtained
the name of 20 other. : Jone is now at
Lecompton with two prisoner aud fifteen
or twrnty assUtaulsv iThe AsolitiotiUu are

entitled "A bill toprpvidc fof garuUhmonl
in certain cases, and for other, purposes,"
and intend. as a measuro of retaliation on
abolition Stale, ha just been introduced in
to the Georgia House "of Representatives.
The bill, after premising that the citizens of
the Stnto of Georgia have bee'ti' wronged
and injured In their property by the failure
of certain States 10 comply with the terms
of the Frjgitivo Slave law. provides that
whenever a slave shall escape from service,
or be carried into another State, and upon
demand being made for thi rendition of
such slave upon 'tho Governor of said Sinte
by the owner of 'said fugitivoj his agent or
attorney1, in fadi; tho slave shall not. have
been di litercd up at the I expiration of the'
thirty days next jTolIowiug the niiiKing of
such demand (said demau l to contain n de
scription of the slave and hi' estimated val
ue certified to on onh) tln-n each and every
citizen and lody corporat Of said Siatei to
which' such fugitive may have escaped,
shall be deemed held and bound as debtor
to the 'owner of such slave to the full
amount of said slave's Value. : ' ' - 1
Second section provides that upon the
happening of these contingencies, nnd upon
the non-appearance of the fugitive within
the tiirie specified, the owner ma.V appear
aud make affidavit accordingly before any
officer authorized by law to administer
oaths (said affidavit also to contain a de
scription of tho slave, his value and the. val
ue of hi services ; that thereupon the uQi
duvit shall be filed and a summons issued to
any , person, persons, or bodies, corporate
metitioned .in the affidavit, to appear at the
next session of tho, Supreme Court "from
which the summons shall have emanated,
to answer in what sums they may bo indebt
ed to aiiy person or body corporate residing
in the State to which such slave shall have
fled.''-'' -"""''',"" '"'::'" ; J;:;. '7
' ' Section' third, af or riroviding pains anil
peualties for the' non-appearance of laid gar
nishee within'twenty days after citation by
the Sheriff, provided that upon acknowl
edgment of -such Indebtedness on the part
of the garnishee, a jury of twelve men shall
be empu'iiueled, who shall asses ihe value
of the slave,' and tlml therOupou the court
shall render a judgment against said garni
shee fur the amount so assessed ; provided
said amount does not excoed the 'amount of
indebtedness admitted in the answer. ' " !
Section fourth provides that Sn 'caso tho
garnishee shall deny, said indebtedness, er
not admit a sufficient amount to cover the
value of the slave, then execution shall is
sue for the amount admitted to be due,
i In plain words, the bill proposes to confis
cate, for the benefit of vwni r of fugitive
slaves, the debts due by citizen of Georgia
to citizen of the Stale to which the slave
may have escaped, if iho authorities of that
Stale refuse to deliver up the- slaves upon
claim of their rightful owners,
On a former occasion we expressed our
objections to all' such retaliatory measure
a the one pioposed In the Legislature of
Georgia; The' objection to them are
many and weight)1 1 are in fui-t Insuperable.
The ubjecl has been mooted at 'various
time,ie thi State, and it my not be amis
to recite some of those objections. : ; !
i: W will mention only one of those ob
jections, such retaliatory measures are in
their operation and effects similar to em-
bargo laws, which are vmm resorted to
by one pulioo at war or about to engage ia
aarwltli ahotber nation,1 (br tbo otleotihU
purpose of crippling the commerce) and
euruiliiu the rraourcus of that nation.
They do.qulUt as1 much harm to those
whom ihey nro inteuded lo U nefit, at lo
thoto whom they are doigud U -injure.-
They have 'vflex influuitce equal lo their
direct influence, if not greatr. ' 1 '.
It may bo a-isnmed that tho trade, In
which the citueiis of d'e rgia became the
deh ors uf citizens ot the uoo-Iavholding
States, Is quit as important to the former
a the latter. ' The people of Georgia, ia
the present slute of commercial interconrte,
are just a dependent upon Massachusetts
for manufactured good as are the citizens cf
that State dependent upon Georgia for the
raw niaieriul of 'cotton. 1 In this ttato of
mutuul dependence, It were fdly to enact
any law which would Kudcr ui'certain tho
collection of debt due by. citizens of one
State to citizen of the other. - The effect
would be to destroy all Cdmmorco between
the two SlaVs, ai.lt this destruction would
injure the citizens of Georgia as much at it
would injme those of Mmwaehusett. At
any rate, there Would be lio debt allowed
All tlie commerce would bo basod upoa the
cash princij'le. Thcro wouU be no eredit,'
for there would be no means of compullis
payment ; at least., payment would be made'
uncertain, i There would soon be no debts
upon which tlie la it of gnrni'dimont would
operate. '. It is needles lo add that in poh
au event the people of Georgia will sulfur at
much dotritneut a the people of Mattaohus

We bavV. a d the particulars of one of
these strnnee episodes in lifo in which tho
old adage of 'truth is stranger thao octioA,'
was i fully illustrated. Aboui' til 'yeare
since, a lady named Mr. Martha Wood, so
companied by her son, his wife, and a coup
le of ehihlron, arrived in this city from New
Bedford, Mast. I She suited thai she was
widow of twenty-four years' standing, her
husband having been mate of a whaler,
which had been lost at sea. The family
have resided for the greater pari of the time'
on Liberty St., Mr. Wood, the ton, working1
at his trade, which is that of a cooper. ' "
Yestbrday morning, a grey headed and
toil-worn man culled at the residence of the
family, and seeing Mr, Wood, inquired for
the widow-, who, being called into the room;
while, gazing jntcntly ni the stranger,
whose eyes were fixed mournfully upou herl
requested to know his business. ' 1 1 : ' - '

Resignation , op tub United States
Secretary of Legation at. Lonpon. Mr.
Appleton of Maine, late I'uited States Sco
re tuiy of Legation at London, hut resigned.
With the letters of recall sent by the Go;
ernmetit to Mr, Duclunmn, nt that gentle
man's request there win sent, we. hear, nn
appointment for Mr. Apploton as United
States Charge d'Afliiires, ad interim, which,
that gentleman declined, preferring to re
turn to tlin United States, where bis privste,
buinnss demand hi presence. lis bus
thus elected uot to pursue a diplomatic ca
reer. This election will be very generally
regretted, for there is no more competent
man in the country for the furtherance of
our interest abroad than Mr. Appleton.
We have every reason to believe that his
declension lo remuin abroad as a diplomatist
after the return of Mr. Buchanan, has great
ly disappointed the President and Secretary
of State. We presume tnnt Mr Buchanan
will not leave London now, until his suc
cessor may be on the spot to relievo him.
