MoCKERY OF JUsTICE.-Last week negro was
brutally assaulted in the street and severely bea-
ten by a gang of men, who at all hazards seemed
determined to take the law in their hands and to
administer punishment as they thought fit. The
facts were made known through the columns of
the Times, and for the time being public feeling
was partially aroused almost every one was anx-
ious that the matter should come to trial-that the
outrage should not be passed by silently and that
the perpetrators of the deed should be arrested
and held amenable to the law. complaint was
entered-the affidavit of the injured negro was ta-
ken by Justice Simonds-one of the supposed per-
sons who committed the outrage was brought be-
fore him, but no body seemed to interets him.
self in behalf Of the poor negro. For want Of
interest on the part of the public, for the want of
witnesses, ave, even for the want of friend on
the part of the black man, the case was dismiss
ed and the law robbed of justice.
Yesterday morning that defenceless African
left st. Paul, and as he passed our Office ne re-
marked-Cy' am going to place where there
is God in Africa as we'll as in Israel--GD am
going to Chicago, where know can get justice
done me.'' Let this expression ring in the ears
of our citizens-ye who made no effort to see that
the law was vindicated-ye who have not the NOR
al courage to stand by the right, remember, that
the time is coming when you will reap tears and
blood for that which is being sown. If the
people of St. Paul will permit the law to be thus
set at defiance, they will realize to their sorrow
the fact that their property will deprecate in val
uc and their city become famous for its midnight
transformations.

A FALSE ISSUE.

The defenders of the Railroad fraud are now
endeavoring to convince the people that all those
persons who are not in favor of the old charter
and of the Wall Street Company, are opposed to
Railroad. This is not so. Every man in our
Territory is in favor of Railroad of some kind,
under proper restrictions, but they are not in fa-
vor of putting Minnesota under the control of q
few men, who can buy and sell her at their bid
ding. The question with the people is, will they
permit the stigma Of fraud to rest upon them.
for which they are not responsible, without max
ing an effort to wash it out. That is the question
for the people to answer, and not politicians.

THE WAR EUROPE.

1t is as natural for "John Bull'' to fight, as to
shove down roast beef and pudding. While in a
state of peace with the rest of mankind, he feels
as uncomfortable as did Jonah, when taking O
s'dead head'' trip aboard his whaleship. Every
nation has time for conquest, glory and decline.
The "Queen of the Seas'' has lost the prestige of
victory, which has hovered over her banners for
the past five hundred years. The Allies are either
afraid to fight, or else never intended to. Let the
torch light of revolt but fash amid the despotic
gloom of Poland, Hungary and Italy and the re-
pose of the potentates will be forever gone. That
a secret understanding exists besween Russia and
the Western Powers, their mutual inactivity is
sufficient evidence Of. The show of battle is
there, but no actual knocks. Turkey will be dis
membcred and divided between the four belliger-
cnts. Millions Of armed men will be held in read
mess to put down revolution. France and Eng
land will stand ready to cooperate with Russia,
and divide the spols of war. The rulers of Eu-
rope are engaged in a conspiracy against the pre-
sent rights, and future liberty of the people, and
the plot will soon be revealed. Whatever success
may attend them there, Britain and France had
better keep their attention diverted from Ameri-
can affairs. Albion sits majestically amid the
seas, with commerce that knows all corners and
latitudes of the globe. That same commerce has
given her enervation and degeneracy. Her mar
tial spirit is gone. The hand of destiny is writ
ing on the wall, and when she shall attempt to re-
sist our onward proreess should she ever dare to
do so, GA second Daniel will come to Judgment y
and read lesson of fate telling her in emphatic
tones, that Young America is not to be triGed
with.

cy Two men lately drove up to the door of a
merchant in the vicinity of Cairo, Illinois, and
requested the privilege of depositing box they
had with them in the house for the night, which
was refused, but they were allowed to place it
in the store. The next morning the man called
for the box, but the storekeeper had missed a
piece of cloth from his counter, and on further
examination he found that he had been robbed of
five hundred dollars, and consequently he refused
to let them have the box. The storekeeper obtain

ADVANTAGES OF OPPOsITIoS.--A certain amount
Of opposition is great help to a man. Kites
rise against, and not with the wind. Even a
head wind is better than none. No man ever
worked his passage any where in dead calm.
Let no one wax pale, therefore, because of oppo-
sition. Opposition is what he wants and must
have, to be good for any thing. Hardship is the
native soil of manhood and sef-reliance. He
that cannot abide the storm without finching or
quailing, strips himself in the sunshine, and
lies down by the waysde to be overlooked and
forgotten. He who but braces himself to the
wind to struggle when the wind blew, gives up
when they have done, and falls asleep in the still
ness which fOlows.-.JOhn NeiU.

THE PROPER COURSE.

We have already stated that the only and prop.
er course for the people of Minnesota to pursue
to get another grant of land, is to come up man.
fully to the polls and elect men to our Legsla-
ture who will repudiate the recent railroad swim
die, and those who had anything to do with it,
1t is all useless to talk of getting another grant
of land without some such course. Members of
Congress will set their faces against us, on the
ground that our silence is equal to partic pa
tion in the game, and as long they think so, we
might as well talk to stone fence. 1t behooves
every man therefore, who has the interest of Min
nesota at heart; who is desirous to replace that
which has been taken from US; who knows any,
thing of human nature, to look this matter fairly
in the face and to choose that path which will lead
to success and not thatpath which will inevitably
end in defeat. Said gentleman to us, few
weeks ago, and long resident of Washington,
and we believe an honest politician, ssYou can
not get another grant of land unless you boldly
denounce the fraud and those who committed it
unless you show men at Washington that you
are sincere in what you utter. To do this, you
must elect men to your Legislature who will vote
for memorial setting forth your true position
on this railroad question" The gentleman con-
cluded by stating that the course which the Times
had marked out was the only course to bring
about that which we so much desred-another
grant of land. 1t is matter in which every cti-
zen is interested, and if we make false step,
now, we are down for years, if not forever, at
least so far as grant of land for railroad pur-
poses is concerned, but if we take truth and right
for our guide we will most surely succeed. Who
falters.
