Shall Mob Law Rule? Tho tendency of the people of this country to mobocracy is becoming more and more alarming every day. So much

and morte alarming every (fay BO is this the case that scarcely an exchange reaches us that does not bring an account of a recent outrage in some part of the United States. The succession of dastardly acts on the part of the outlaws in Kansas—tho mobs in Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus and Louisville, have scarcely occupied as many weeks as localities. Why is this? Who is to blame It is sheer rionsense to say this, that, or the other political party is tho prime mover in any or all of these riots, as the most reliable accounts we can obtain, show that in almost every instance, some trivial personal quarrel was the origin. In Kansas it was different. The outrage at -the late elections there, was a deep planned and long premeditated combination to prevent the free expression of popular sentiment by legal voters on the

Slavery question. A United States Senator left his seat in Congress—aye, even the chair of Vice President of these United States to plan and assist in carrying into execution one of the most unjustifiable schemcs that ever disgraced a civilized land—namely, to fasten upon a free people an institution which they repudiate. In despotic Europe this would be styled a piece of cruel and high-handed tyranny. What name, then, shall be given to it, when enacted in a Republic—rthe foundation of whose liberty is freedom in the right of 8uffrage^!4But who is to blame for these things, we ask again do not the

Executives of the different States and the United States, encourage the spirit of mobocracy by their apathy and carelessness on the subject?—do out civil and police officers act as promptly and efficiently as they should? This, we believe, is the radical evil, and we hold President Pierce responsible for the Sansas riots, in not sending aid to the inhabitants to protect them from tho Missourians, who trampling on every principfe of right and law, drove the people from the polls, and assisted in f) fastening upon the Territory an institution which its inhabitants abhor. We are no Abolitionist—weare more inclined to pro-slavery than Abolition sentiments, but we are also opposed to slavery going into Kansas, unless it be by a free expression of the legal voters of tho Territory at the ballot-box.—

What course will President Pieroe take in the premises—will ho sustain the people of Kansas in their right to vote unbiassed by fear or coercion ?—will he support Gov. Reeder in his' efforts to restrain tho villianous taobocrats of Missouri, by placing at his disposal troops sufficient to guard tho liberties of tho citizens of Kansas against the inroads of these, outlaws and desperadoes from Missouri or will he leavo

THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN. —We have already given an accout of a terrible earthquake in Japan, and tho loss of the Russian frigate Diana. Another account says:

Of about 1,000 houses in Simoda, but 16 were left standing, and they were .all more or less shattered. During the height of the scene a large junk was dashed against the Diana's bows, and split in two ropes were thrown to the crew to Save themselves, but in blind obedience to the authorities, which forbids a Japanese to goon board of an "outsider" without permission, they refused to avail themselves of any means

Soon.—Some years ago, not very far from Monticello, a certain justice was called 'to the jail to liberate a worthless debtor, by receiving his oath that he was not worth five dollars. "Well, Johnny," said the justice, as he entered, "can you swear that you are not worth five dollars, and never will be?" "Why," answered the other, rather chagrined at tho question. "I can positively swear that I am not worth that sum at present." "Well, well," returned the justice, "I can swear to tho rest so step forward Johnny."

AN UNKXPKCTKD GOOD.—If adversity has its evils, it also has its benefits. Tho Nv Y. Courier says a physician in large practice was asked by a stanger if New York was Withy at the present time. He replied. "Unusually so the extravagant cost of provisions has checked tho disposition for over feeding, from which, ordinarily, we derive mostof our practice!"

INTERESTING CASE.-1—The St. Louis Herald says there is a case pending in their Circuit Court, of considerable im-j portance, so far as regards the absconding of persons from foreign countries with the property of others, and seeking concealment in this, is concerned. The King of Prussia is the plaintiff in this case, and Felix Coste, as adminis

trator of F. F. Kupper, alias Muller, is profession wiir8oo"n mcu» i»i« share of pnblic patronaga

defendant. It appears that Kupper was a deputy postmaster in the kingdom of Prussia, in the town of Wermilskeroher, in 1843, and that he absconded to this country with 7,400 Gerriian dollars belonging to the Government A German dollar is worth 69 cents United States currency. A few days after Kupper airived in St. Louis, he died with cholera* and Felix Coste administered on his effects. Tho plaintiff now comes and claims from the administrator, to be taken out of the estate of Kupper, $7,000, the principal and interest of the stolen money.
