In 1871. on the 4th Of April, and closed the goth
osNovember; in 1852, on the 10th of April.
and closed the 10th November; and in 1858,
the West Newton, the first boat that arrived
from below, came on the 18th April, and the
Kenny Lind, the last boat Of the season, left on
the ed of November.
In 1850, there were 60 arrivals from Galena.
20 from st. Louis, and from points on the
Minnesota River. In 1851, there were IS from
Gsiena, IS from St. Louis: from Minnesota

we're l31 from Galcna, ~ from St. Louis, Is

1t will be seen that while compared with last
year, the number of arrivals from Gaicna have
decreased 80 per cent. the number from st.
Louis have increased nearly 800 per cent and
from the Minnesota River. nearly 400 per cent.
The number of arrivals from other points show
still greater increase. The falling off in the
number from Galcna is attributable to the fact
that last year there were rival lines from that
place, and being consolidated this year. there
were less number OF boats in the trade. Tho
carrying trade, however. between Galcna and
St. Paul has not diminished but, on tho con
trary, has materially increased.
The MINNESOTA DEMoCRAr.-All OF our read
ers will remember that when the present editor
ofthe Democrat assumed the guidance thereof
vernment, that nothing of a personal nature
toward an opponent should ever deGe his CO.
iumns He appears to have gotten bravcly ovel
this feeling as We. knowing the man, knew he
would at the time. The last number has a pcr
sonai attack upon us individually, that onl,
betrays the modification and chasrin which tn,
editor feels at being caught at one of his tricks
n dnprtsI nI all,
We are perfectly cOnvcrsant with all his twist
lngs and tergivcrsatons public and private
Tor the last four years, and he thinks to cove,
them over, and attract attention from their ex
posure, by casting fish-markct epithcts at us
This course will avail him nothing His pre-
sent outbreak is called forth by our allusion las
week to the Galcna Jeffersonan attack upoi
Mr.. Rice, an act which we did solely from a de
sire to have things rightly understood else
where for the benefit ofMinnesota in Congress
1t i'll becomes this editor to put himself forwar
as the particular defender of the Delegate, at
ter allowing his columns, within the past 81,
months. to make accusations against that gen
tleman's private integrity, which, did any on
believe, would blast his reputation in any com
munity. But this is not to the point We ar
accused, on this occasion, of writing and pal
fishing what we knew to be false. Here ar
