THE DunuauE CLAIM.-The case of
Chouteau against Moloney was closed in
the Supreme Court, at Washington, last
Tuesday, but it had not been decided at
the last accounts. A notice of the case
says:
Some singular historical "reminiscences
have been brought up by this case, viz
the history of Lord Selkerk's settlement
of the Red river Of the North the in
trigues of the last French Governors of
Louisiana to create revolution in the
West against the United States and the
fact, also, that Cuba was part Of Lon

Spain TO France, and that, therefore, We

SENATOR DouGLAs's NEBRASKA BILL
This bill IS exciting considerable at
tention, on account of its well known
provision by which the Missouri Com
promise is to be repealed, and Nebras-
ka allowed to come in as a State, either
with or without slavery, as the people
see fit. The Missouri Democrat, Ben
ton paper, speaks of the report of SEN
ator Douglas, as follows:
This document, which is mainly a
glorification of the measures generally
known as the compromise, and which is
merely an electioneering manifesto,
would pass unchallenged by US, if its ap-
parent object were not TO nullify the
Missouri compromise. The Senator of
Illinois, after reciting that clause in the
act OF Congress, approved March 9th,
1870, says "that it is disputed point
whether slavery is prohibited in the Ne
braska country by valid enactment.''-
lie not only says this, but he labors in
his report to create the impression that
the weight OF opinion throughout Il G
country inclines to this view. When
the matter comes before the House, we
shall see how far the honorable Senator
Interpretation of this impor tant act is
sustained by the representatives of the
people. In the meantime, we must con-
denim the report for its revival OF the sla-
very question, for nothing else than the
resurrection Of this pestiferous issue can
result from attempting 10 nullify the
Missouri; compromise.

I7President Walker seems 10 have
been concerned in his new Republic of
Sonora, California. He invaded and as he
said conquered that country, and es tab
lished there an independent Republic
with force of but forty five men, all
told. We have accounts to-day that the
Mexicans have suddenly fallen upon the
new President and his new Republic, and
killed fourteen of his forty-fve, ard dri-
ven the rest into the shelter of house
where they were, at the las: accouts
vigorously besieged by overwhelming
numbers. We hope to hear that Presi-
dent Walker, with his remaining mis-
guided followers, have escaped the be-
seigers and fled back to San Francisco,
wiser and better men. But the news
we have does not warrent the expecta-
ton that this most wild and visionary
enterprise will terminate so fortunately.
We fear it will turn out that the inva-
ders have all fallen victems TO their
own folly and termerity.-[N. Y. Tri-

PANORAMA OF LEGisLArIoN.-We are
taxed heavily, and gold and silver the
only legel currency for taxes. The ia.
per currency is good enough for the PEG.
pie, but not good enough for their ser.
wants. We mean, the Legislature au-
thorizes a currency that they won't
touch for their. services,-no sir. thew
make you pay them gold and silver as a
compensation for their time spent in au-
ihorlzing paper currency for you te

In the good old days Of General JACK
SON, the shout of universal Democracy
went up for no Banks ! but alas for the
days of pure principles and sound cur
rency! They are gone with the old
War Chief. The last remaining spark
OF that old fire went out during the old
constitutional Convention of Wisconsin,

RETALlATioN.-The St.'Louis Repub-

Let all western members Of Congress
feel instructed by the united, the unani-
nous, the imperative voice of all their
constituents, without regard to sect or
party, to act, vote and speak in body,
now and for all time to come, for the
creation of U. S. Mint at New York
Citv--or for the removal of the u. S.
mint from Philadelphia to New York
Give those Pennsylvania "sympathsers"
no quarter. If they will rob the west
at Erie, let them not fatten on our com
mon property anywhere else in their
domain.
