1s@Charges were some time ago pre-
ferred against Governor Ramsey, of
Minnesota, and Mr.. Sibley, delegate
from that Territory, of official miscon-
duct in the disbursement OF money to the
Indians and the traders, SC who had
claims against them. The charges were
submitted for investigation to commits
sion, consisting of Judge r. NJ. Young
and Colonel German. After an elaborate
examination of evidence, they have made
a report generating these officers of all
blame. One of the charges was viola
ton of the Subtreasury act. The facts
on which this charge was founded were
as follows; Gov. Ramsey was to pay six
hundred thousand dollars as the first in
stalment of Indian treaty purchase. He
had draft on the Subtreasury for this
purpose. He took hundred thousand
dollars in specie, and this sum filled two
boxes, each requiring the strength Of
four men to lift the balance in crafts
upon the Manhattan and Merchants
Banks of New York and the bills of
those banks. This paper was worth !
premium Of one and half per cent. il
the West, and the persons to whom i
was paid were glad to get it in prefer
ence TO specie. There was no specu-
lation in the transaction and no hazarc
to the United States Treasury.-TCors

A WINTER OF DISASTER.

War on the Danube cholera in En-
land-conflagrations at home-wrecks
on the sea-have given to the present
winter prominence among disastrous
seasons. We cannot remember period
so crowded with catastrophe as the last
two months. A brutal power has brought
the horrors Of hopeless war upon an
inoffensive nation--a war from which
every principle of chivalry anss every
sentiment of magnanimity are excluded.
In one hour, fleet was destroyed, FIVE
thousand men were murdered, and a
town was annihilated; and Europe,
like coward, stood by and saw it done
saw the Tom Hyer of Russia going
to crush the feeble little boy of Constan.
tinopie-and did not hold the monster
back. Cholera has admonished England
and starvation France. Fire, which is
generally no respecter Of houses, has,
this season, chosen our best things for
swift consumption-our greatest BUSH
ness establishment, the largest ship
that ever lay at our docks, the finest
hall In the country, the newest, land there
fore the most magnificent of our hotels.
On the ocean, the disasters have not on
ly been numerous, but of siugularly
terrible character. Ships crowded with
men, women and children, have gore
down with their living freight. Let no
one attribute these calamities to the will
of watchful Providence. Providence
is benefcent always. To the careless
ness or the folly, or the crime of men,
the blame Of nearly every item in the
catalogue of ruin belongs. This perhaps,
could be proved, and the blame brought
home to the door of each guilty inlivid-
ual, and the rest Of mankind warned, if,
in addition to our death-coroner, we had
a fire-coroner, a wreck-coroner, pes
tilence-coroner, or a catastrophe-coro
ner-general. That such an event as the
destruction of large amount of proper
ty by fire should be allowed to go unin-
vestigated, is really as disgraceful as it
is unwise.-[ The Home Jour.

The Hon. Rodmon NJ. Price was in
stalled as Governor of New Jersey on
Tuesday last, at Treaton, in the pre-
sence OF the citizens. The question of
the eligibility of Mr.. Price for this Off
ice was ruled out of the Legislature on
the ground that it was cognizable only
by the Supreme Court of the State
The point made against his right to the
office was that he had not been resident
of the State for the seven years prece-
ding his election, as is required by the
States Constitution. Within that time
he had exercised the privileges of citi-
zen of California, in having been mem
Der of the Convention which framed the
Constitution of that State, and he was
Ialso candidate for Congress and exer-
cised the elective fanchise there. The
Legislature of New Jersey is required
to try and determine cases of contested
election to the Gubernatorial office, but
in this case it has decided that its juris-
diction is confined to contests arising on
elections and returns, and not to con-
tests touching the eligibility of a candi-
date. 1t is not improbable that the
question will be carried into the State
Courts National Int.
