Territorial BiUs.-We were mistaken
in our paper Of last week in the remark,
that several bills of Importance to the Ter
ritories, had passed the house; our source
Of information proves to have been incor-
rect. No Territorial appropriation bills
whatever were passed. The consideration
Of Territorial business, was not taken up
until near the close Of the session, and
final action on nearly all the business of
this kind, was cut off by the adjournment
of Congress-though it is not probable, that
any favorable action would have been had
on the Territorial appropriation bills, had
Congress remained in session another
month.
Among the last business of the house of
personalities, the bill making an appro-
priation Of $4,000 for the protection Of
commerce on Lake Michigan (by the con-
struction Of harbours on that portion of the
lake bordering on the Territory of Wis
consin) came up on its engrossment, for
third reading. The yeas and nays ha-
wing been demanded, and ordered, were:
yeas 10, nays IS. The bill was then read
the third time, and the question being
"Shall the bill pass?" The yeas and nays
having been ordered, were-yeas 70, nays
70. The Speaker voted in the Negative,
and consequently the question on the final
passage Of the bill was lost 7

made known to the public; and should she
violate its provisions, the interests of the
community require that legal steps should
be taken to arrest state of things so in-
furious to the best interests OF the people.
The removal of the Winnebago Indians
to their country west of the Mississippi ri
yer under the orders of the Hon. Secretary
of War, is calculated to relieve tho from
tier inhabitants from the frequent depreda-
tons on their stock and other property -
am advised by the Commanding General
of the U. S. troops, charged with the re-
moval of the Winnebago Indians. that,
should any of them remain in the country
east of the Mississippi, the Dungeons will
be detached TO collect them, and form an
escort for their removal from this Terrific
ry.
A peace has been recently concluded at
Prairie du Chen between the Sac, Fox
and Winnebago Indians, which will have
a good effect in restraining the former In
dams from committing acts of hostility on
the Winnebagoes, and will be the means
of keeping them within their country west
Of the Mississippi.
The removal of the Winnebagoes will
enable our enterprising citizens to extend
their settlements to a desirable and inter-
esting country north of the Wisconsin IL
yer.
By an act of the Congress of the United
States, passed at their late session the right
of pre-cmption has been extended to the
people of Wisconsin, with the people OF
the States and Territories Of this Union.
This act of Justice to the pioneers Of the
west, is calculated, to have the most salu-
tary effects The settlers on the public
lands in this Territory form the best safe
guard for the defence Of our extended from
tier from the entertainment of the Indians.
The occupants Of the public lands acquire
an interest in the soil that renders them in
dependent, and they are the means of ex-
ploring the great natural advantages OF
this Territory, thereby facilitating its set
Element and promoting its prosperity.
In conclusion, fellow-citizens, trust that
harmony and good feeling will govern your
deliberations, and that we may proceed
with as much despatch as will be consistent
with our duties in the completion Of the
public trust Tor which we are convened.

SCENE AT THE CLOSE OF CoNGREss.-
During the past session Of Congress, a
large number of individuals who were
claimants for pensions, and many who in
various ways, had claims upon the govern
ment for services rendered the country,
attended in person at Washington, for the
purpose Of pressing their demands upon
the consideration of Congress. Many Of
these persons were aged, infirm, and pow
erty stricken; some had wasted their
earthly substance in fighting the battles of
their country-others were deprived of
their property, by seizures and confsca-
tons, upon the land and upon the sea; they
had come to the doors of congress, to seek
redress of their grievances, and ask hum
bic pittance to enable them, to escape the
ills of penury and want. Bills for the re-
lief of number of these claimants, had
already for d number of weeks passed one
house; besides some of them had for sew
Ni"A SNSStOHo DCiOiO1 ptAoSSN Oi4C "a Wv O''i
er house, and failed for the want Of time.
No wonder then that they should have
waited with deep soicitude, with the hope
that justice long delayed, would be rende-
red before congress should finally adjourn
but they waited in vain. The time pre-
viously fixed by resolution arrived-the
House finally adjourned, and the hopes
of the expectants were blasted. 1t is prob
ably generally understood, that appropria-
ton and relief bills, are usually left among
the last business of the session, and are
generally cut off by the arrival of the hour
fixed for adjournment, consequently scant
Of time, as usual on such occasions, was
the only consolation left the sufferers
Two hours would have been sufficient, to
have relieved hundred suppIicants for
justice-cheered many broken hearted
widow, and dried the orphans tears.
The scene exhibited after the adjourn
ment of the house, is described as truly
melancholy. Groups of the disappointed
expectants, hung around the doors of the
Legislative halls, sick to the heart from hope
deferred; while others stood apart, silent
and alone, were seemingly involved in deep

ELECTIONS.

We have but little further positive in
formation with regard to the Congressional
result in Louisiana. The first district is
Wing, the second district, Democratic, and
the third district yet remains doubtful. The
probability is, from what we can gather,
that in the third district, Moore, the Wing
candidate, is elected; but however it may
result, the successful candidate will have
but little to boast of, as the contest in the
district will be close. The following table
will show the comparison between the Lou
isiana vote of 1888 and 1910. In the third
district. when the returns are complete, if
there should be majority at all for the
Wing candidate, it will be smaller than ap-
pers by the present incomplete returns:

mental abstraction. We cannot in irnagi-
nation follow these individuals to heir
cherries homes; the anguish and the Dis
appointment, that will wiring many heart
is too painful for contemplation.
More than eighteen centuries ago the
exclamation, 81 am Roman cit,zen," was
not only sure protection from the inso-
lence of q foe, but it commanded the magma
nimity of the people. He who had rend-
cred his country service, had only to ex-
hibit the number Of his scars, to be entitled
to the reverence of the people, and the libe-
raj annuity of the government. Intthe
best days of Greece and Rome, no veteian
soldier who had sacrificed his fortunes, or
periled his life in battle, was denied the re-
ward of his valor. No technicalities OF
the law, or informally in the presentation
of the claim, ever set aside the demands
Of justice; nor was the want Of time, made
the plea for delay, in bestowing relief upon
the meritorious applicant.

Casuahy.-The steamboat Erie, while passing
down Detroit river, on her recent passage from Chi
cago to Buffalo, burst her steampipe, by which acct
dent five individuals lost their lives-three of whom
killed by the bursting of the steampipe, and
two were drowned by jumping overheard. A third
individual who leaped overheard was providentially
saved. The extent of the injury sustained by other
persons, or the damage done to the boat, we have
not learned. The Erie soon after the accident &C.
Cured, taken in tow By the Great Western and
conveyed TO the City of Detroit
