duced to give the views of some of the
leading London Journals"
Favorable comment is then made upon
the new system, comprising extracts from
the London Examiner, Times, and other
leading journals. That Minnesota should
have been first to adopt a reform which
is now receiving the appreciation Of the
most learned jurists Of the old world, al
though somewhat singular and uncxpec-
ted. is nevertheless circumstance OF
which we should feel proud. The legal
prodigy up town, who so bitterly as
sailed this portion of the Revised Code,
in his structures upon the Governor 5
message, is perhaps a better Judge of
the merits of the case than me; but with
out pretending to decide the matter at is
sue between him and the English press,
we think that in this, as we'll as in many
other instances, his personal hatred to in
dividuals has got the better of his discre-
ton and judgment. We will probably
refer 10 this subject again, when we are
more at leisure.

IMPORTANT CASE.

The County Commissioners
of Ramsey County, Motion for
aS't Mandanus.
Cornelius p. V. Lul.
This was motion made before his
Honor, Judge Fuller, on Wednesday, the
Sd inst, founded on the affidavit of Nor
ton S. Wilkinson, Register Of Deeds, and
Clerk of the Board Of Commissioners Of
said county, for writ of mandamus,
commanding c. P. V. Lull, ex-SheriA of
Ramsey county, to make his statement or
return of the delinquent taxes of 1851
to the Register Of Deeds, as provided in
sections AZ and 43 of chapter IL, of the
Revised Statutes. The court, after hear
ing the case argued by the District At
torney, w. ID. Phillips, and M. S. Will
kinson, granted an order for a perempto-
ny msandamus, returnable in five days af-
ter service of the writ.

THE TREATIES. ONCE AGAIN.

Perhaps some Of our readers, who take
it that the Treaties will be ratified, Of
course, may think we are unduly talka-
tive upon the subject, by referring to 1t
SO often. Not SO. The last mail brought
intelligence from orr untiring Delegate,
and from other citizens of Minnesota now
in Washington, that there is subterra-
mean opposition, organized with considcra-
bic tact and subtltcy, working necessarily
TO defeat these essential measures. The
head of this opposition is right here at
home. while lis thousand arms are extended
in every direction over the country. To
show that 10 respectable portion Of our
people are connected with this conspiracy
to blast our prospects, and ruin the Ter
ritory, the mass meeting mentioned below
is called. Let there be general attend
ance. Every man should come up, and
lend his aid to give right direction to the
public sentiment of Minnesota. The
two or three who arc scattering falsehood
abroad in regard to our wishes, should be
made to feel that they are knorn traitors
to the best interests or the Territory
The people are for the Treaties; their
presses, unanimously. have reflected their
wishes, but let them speak to the Senate
more directly. Let us be up and doing
while there is yet an opportunity:
RATIFY! RATIFY!!
A mass meeting of all the people of
Minnesota, ought 10 be held, to urge upon
the Government of the United States, the
necessity of the immediate ratification of
the treaties of Traverse dos Sioux, Men
dota and Pembina. AS ii is subject of
vital interest to every living soul in Min
ncsota, civilized or savage, we, the I'M
dersigned, representing all the Council
Districts throughout the limits of Min
nesota Territory, earnestly recommend
therefore, that the people of our Terrific
ry meet in mass, next Monday, at l
o'clock, P. NJ, at the Hall Of Rcprcsen-
tatives, in St. Paul, to express their uni
ted and earnest desire fuI the ratification
of the treaties.

THE NEW LAW OF EVIDENCE.

1t will be recollected. that the portion of
Gov. Ramsey's message which men
toned favorably the Revised Statutes,
was violently assailed by certain St.
Paul attorney, through the columns of the
Democrat. The astutc reviewer tried to
be very severe upon that portion of the
Code which changes the old rule of eyi-
dence. 1t is probably unfortunate that
he and the persons who compiled and en-
acted the Revised Statutes were COM
PEELED to disagree SO widely; but what
will he say when he comes to learn that
old England herself, since our Code was
adopted, has placed upon her statute books
precisely the same provision in regard TO
evidence. Thus has Minnesota cstab-
lished feature in her legal practice,
which not only will soon be followed by
the States of the Union, but which the
venerable parent of our whole system has
taken up and adopted. We copy the fol-
lowing notice Of this reform from the
"Jurist," an English periodical, of Nov.
lst, 1851:
"Thc act to amend the Law of evil
dence, IA s. Is Wet. C. SO, comes into
operation this day. November .st, 1851,
and it will probably work greater change
IN the administration of justice than has
been effected by any statute since the
passing of the County Court Act. AL
ready its results are being felt, in causing
suitors to resort to the superior rather
than to the county courts, and in substi-
tutlng the summons for inspection in the
place OF the bill for discovery.
Under the End section. parties to m
action, &C., or those on whose behalf it is
brought or defended, are not only compe-
tent, but compellable, to give evidence
either for or against themselves; there
fore the plaintiff or defendant may no,
only tender himself as witness, but may
be subpened and compelled to give evi.
dence by the other party. In the latter
event, which will probably but seldom &C.
cur, we presume that he will be consider.
ed the witness Of the party calling him
and may be cross examined with leading
questions by his own counsel. Probably
however, before he has proceeded far in
his evidence in chief, he will be deemed
to be witness hostile TO the party call
ing him, and may therefore, also be sub
jected to leading questions from the coun-
sc! Of such party SC.
In addition TO this, the American Law
Journal for January, makes this topic the
subject Of its leading article. The edit.

The Great Inventien u the Age !--Steam Sup

TIME first half Of the nineteenth century will bs
4 recorded the age of Steam. 1t has passed
and with it will pass the steam engine with the
things that were.
The second half of the century will be known
as commencing the age Of Gas-an agent destined
not only TO light but to ENLiGHrEN the world
This aye has now commenced, and with it is now
introduced the Gas Engine.
Professor John C.. F. Salomon, after twenty six
years OF close observation upon the experiments
Of his own and of others in attempts to make the
principle Of the condensation of carbonic acid gas
available asa mechanic motor, has perfected the
and having Just received letters patent for his
"Improv.d Carbonic Acid Eng inc, "now offers to
dispose Of rights for the use thereof to the U.
States government, and TO individuals 10 COM
panes, the rights Of States, counties, or cities.
The immense saving of money ard labor, and
OF human lives and suffering, secured by the e
of this MOTOR will inevitably insure its speedy
adoption in all places where steam power Is now
used, and in thousands Of other places where the
great expense, bulk, and weight of the steam en-
CINE has precluded It's use.
This new motor may be applied to all purposes
! as propelling agent rom the single-horse power
for the cottongln to the two thousand horse power
for steamers, with the expense less than that
required by the steam engine, Of boilers and fur
naces fuel and firemen, and Of bulk and weight
100 tons weight suthcing for the same power OF
| 900 tons of the steam engine.
These facts are established by the experimental
engine Of twenty-five (25) horse power, now
"working well" at Cincinnati, as noticed in the
following from the Cincinnati Nonpare of the
| 18th instant
"We are pleased to state that J. C. F. Saomon
late of this city, has received patent for his motto,
carbonc acid gas, in its application to an engine
The successful experiments Of this Invention were
not long since given in the Nonpareil. The same
gentleman has received another patent for the steer
ing and propelling power"
