Dun CHIEF JUSTICES, OLD AND New.

The Democrat, with its wonted consis-
tency, whistles down the wind" its
old favorite of last year, Chief Justice
Fuller. 1t eulogised the President for
appointing him, and compliments the Sem
ate for rejecting him! But this is anoth-
er one of our neighbours "peculiar and
embarrassing positions" which he will
get out of by calling somebody 'liar,"
" villain," "hypocrite," &c., at the same
time avoiding all manner Of personal
abuse!'' Here's what the Troy On. W
Daily Post says of the new Chief JUS
tice. From what we have heard from
private sources, the remarks of the Troy
editor are we'll deserved:
JUDGE OF MINNEsorA.-The President
has appointed and the Senate has confirm
ed Henry Il. Hayner as Chief Justice of
Minnesota. We were somewhat taken
by surprise by this announcement, since
wo knew that he was not an applicant for
the place, and would not have asked it
while Jerome Fuller held it with pros
pect of confirmation. The appointment
is good one. Mr.. Hayner is one of the
best lawyers in the State, and well quail
fled by his legal requirements, sound
judgment, and courteous demeanor, TO
make most able and acceptable Judge
He was our law partner for six years,
and we can speak knowingly of his quail
fications. He is well read and deeply
versed in the fundamental principles Of
the law, as set forth in the works of the
great masters and teachers, and his clients
always found in him safe and judicious
counsellor. a man of his learning and
intellect will be valuable acquisition to
the new Territory.
INDIAN TRoUBLEs.-We learn that the
Indians have become troublesome on the
" est Of the Mississippi opposite St. Paul
and st. Anthony, and that they are driv-
ing off the squatters who have gone over
the river to make claims. Dubuque Her.

Where did eve" learn any such nom
sense and falsehood as this If YOU
can't get your ague-shaken vicinity set
tied by more honorable means than at
tempting TO check immigration hither by
such bare-faced public ISLANDERS, you had
better stop operations.
OUR STEAMBoArs.-We find the two fol-
lowing paragraphs in relation to favorite
boats and boatmen in late numbers of the
Galena Advertiser:
THE WEST NEwToS.-We learn that
this boat, which has been lying idle here
for some time, will hereafter run as a
regular packet between Galena and Mont
rose, under the command of Capt. ID. S.
Harris, and is expected TO 90 through in
48 hours. She will connect at Montrose
with other boats below. The boat, under
its present commander. will be put to the
most useful purpose.
HAULED Orr.-TLe regular boats of
the Keokuk Packet Co., between St.
Louis and Keokuk, have all been hauled
off from that trade, on account of the low
water.
The Black Hawk and Nominee now
make, jointly, two trips per week TO Ga
lena. The Black Hawk is punctual in
her arrivals on Thursdays and Saturdays,
with the freight, mail and passengers of
the Nominee-the two boats meeting
each other hal! way. Capt. Lodwick,
on the Black Hawk, although not pre-
pared to accommodate the travelling pub
lie in the regal style he could on the Ben
Campbell, is nevertheless doing his best
to make things comfortable. The Black
Hawk is not to be "snceked at" in low
water.
The sold Doctor" Notwithstanding
the prophesies hurled at her by the St.
Anthony Express, some weeks ago, con-
tinnes to make her regular trips through
to Galena; and on Wednesday night
brought to our landing her largest load of
the season.
Burbank, of the North Western Ex-
press, whole team" in putting things
through in general sense, has gone into
partnership with Constans, and when
Randall's new stone warehouse is finish
ed, the new firm will open out extensive
ly at the lower landing. Thus does bust
ness increase in St. Paul as rapidly as its
facilities open.
- lie Sucur and Traverse dcs Sioux
are now surveyed and plotted. They are
both bound to be considerable towns.
We are glad ''the Traverse retains its
old name instead OF the one of evil omen
mentioned few weeks since.
FALL BUsINEsS.-Our merchants are
receiving their goods and preparing for a
