Ohr puBlic Schools.

The Common School has ever been looked
upon as the safeguard and distinguishing
glory of our Republic. In Chicago, Saint
Louis and Cleveland, it is the pride of every
good citizen, but in st. Paul it is treated
with shameful and alarming neglect. In no
place of the same size are there so few faci-
lties for Matchmaking and educating the
children of the honest and industrious /; and
yet there is fund of several thousand dol
lars collected every year, expressly for the
support of teachers. In this whole city
there is not more than one Public School,
and if now open, affording meagre facilities.
We have the parochial Schools of the
Episcopalian, o. S. Presbyterian, and Roman
Catholic; we have the Baldwin School for
girls, and the Grammar School of the Col
lege of St. Paul for lads, all very good in
their place, but all wholly unable to take the
place of the Public Schools.
Why this apathy? Are the School Laws
defective Are the Trustees faithful 2 Are
the School moneys sacredly kept for the pur-
pose specified by the proper officer2 Are
We to sit still and allow this state of things
to continue? These are queries to ponder

Under this head the Editor of the St. An
thony Express relates his experience, while
on his way down the river, from this place:
While sitting on the deck, the evening of
our departure, enjoying the delightful breeze,
and the favor Of mild Havana, we were
accOsted by young man Of most genteel
address, faultless moustache, in blandest
terms requesting the favor of lighting his
cigar from our own. Assuring him that it
afforded us great pleasure to grant him the
favor, he deew up vacant chair on our left,
and "opened up" further, on the delectable
state of the wevther. Conversation once
opened, was not difficult of continuance un-
der such circumstances, especially with so
well informed person as my new acquain-
lance seemed to be, especially in regard to
Minnesota affairs, for to believe his own &C
count, he had Travelled nearly over every Part
Of the Territory from Iowa to Pembina, from
Superior to the Rocky Mountains. He had
slain Buffalo on the plains, Elk on the Red
River of the North, dug ores on Superior
trapped beaver with Kit Carson, and sold
peltries to the Fur Company in St. Paul
while in the full flush of its terrific power
He seemed to know every house and landing
on the river, and by whom and when it was
erected.
"Do you observe that light, few rods
from the bank 2" asked he, pointing in di
rection to our right, and Gas we subsequently
recollected) accidentally" grazing with his
arms, or Land, our left side. "There, a des
perate encounter took place, ten years age
this month, between the Sioux and Chippe
was. The latter took some twenty scalps O
their enemy, and-hello! here we are
Hastings. expect friend on board here
and will step down to meet him."
Upon entering the saloon, as the boat wa.
pushed off from Hastings, our better-hal
inquired, "how on earth we had torn oul
coat SO z" Torn our coat ha ha TIL,
side pocket was slit about four inches, al
neatly as any finger-rine- could do it
and OF course our aoollet gone. Fortunately
however, it contained only some $l5, reserv
ed for passage, so that the rogue did no
make his fortune by the operation. We made
some search for our newly formed travclin!
acquaintance, but as we saw no more of hin
on board, presume he had gone ashore to fine
"his friend" We were half inclined to for
give the rascal for the theft, on account o
the scientific manner in which he performed
the job, he being evidently no bum ler in tn
profession he has adopted.

THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER %, 1856.


The payment appears to be progressing
slowly. 10. Brown writes to the Pioneer,
deploring the condition of the Sioux, and
"blowing up" the Agent for not " forking."
10. hints that the Agent is waiting for his
annual instalment of beef cattle, and sundry
sacks of -four. No doubt of the fact; but
at the same time 10. cares less for the "poor
Indian" than he does for his annual stipend
from that nation, which is the main basis of
his "bread and butter from year to year.
He is greedy to handle his share of the spoil
in gold. We hope he will be relieved from
his dilemma at the earliest day possible. 1t
might be supposed by some that this is a
selfish hope on our part-as we used to be
somewhat partial to 10. Nothing of the
kind!
But seriously. The Sioux affairs again
appear to be in fix. The Majors cattle
don't get along, and the Sioux have to suffer.
There was report that Gov. German
was the cause of the payment not coming
OFT, and then it was said that the Commits.
sioner at Washington had ordered the with.
holding of the money from those bands who
had not resided on their Reserve during the
season. From reliable trader-not Jo.-we
learn the facts as follows:
"Governor German" says our informant
has been accused of disobeying an order
from the Department. Such is not the fact
Col. Abercrombie and Maj. Day, (officers al
Fort Ridgley0 recommended full payment
this year. Maj. Murphy, the Agent, said, Il
part are paid, all should be paid The Com
missioner Of Indian Affairs ordered none t.
be paid except those who were on the Reserv,
at the time of payment Gov. German or
dered all to be paid ,nho wers on the Reserv,
at the time of payment"
1t thus appears that the difference betwee,
the Commissioners and the Superintendent
order is the difference between tweedle-dun
and tweedle-dee. .s--.
But the Agent won't pay until his bee
cattle arrive. The Indians suffer and 10
walls over his "human necessity of dali,
bread" A precious set all round But W,
think the Commissioner and the Superinten
dent have been trying to do their duty il
this instance. So far we give Mr.. Manypenny
and Gov. German all credit.

Strange Development.

Fully aware of the servility of the pres
ent Administration, and of the flexible char
acter Of the Pennsylvania Judges, we are
10th to believe that the following is true. 1t
reveals depth of baseness to which it seems
impossible for the President of the United
States to descend, as wholly base and un-
principled as he has proved himself to be:
"A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ca
zette writes from Pittsburgh that when the
case of PassmOre Williamson was argued
last summer at Bedford, on the motion to
bring Williamson out on writ of HobcGs
Corpus, three of the judges (Messrs. Lowrie,
Woodward and Knox,) were in favor OF
granting tie writ, and two, (Messrs. Black
and Lewis, opposed to it. When the Court
re-assembled in Philadelphia, Judge Kane
and his friends had an int Tview with our
Judges, and communicated to them the fact
that the President had ordered the United
States Marshal, in case the Court should
direct the writ to issue, to remove William
son from Moyamensing, to a United States
receiving ship, and defend him there, with
United States marines and soldiers, against
any force the State might send to take him.
The question presented to our Judges was,
whether it was prudent to risk the threat
ened collision ? am sorry to say that they
thought it was not. They had not the
nerve to stand up for State Rights. Judges
Lowrie and Woodward changed their opin-
ions, and the writ of habeas corpus was not
issued. The threat-for it was threat
should have been an incentive to it's issue,
instead of the pusilanimous course adopted
for the question of State Rights has got to
be settled, and this was the opportunity he
needed
Assuming the above to be true, the con-
duct of the judicial officers of that State
presents such marked contrast to the in
dependence of the Wisconsin judiciary, that
we cannot forbear to call attention to it.
When Judges Smith and Cole were ordered
by the Supreme Judges of the United States
in the case of Both and Reycraft, to put
themselves at the command of that body and
thus 5etray those by whom they were elect
ed, they treated the mandate with the con-
tempt it deserved, and, to this day, have
maintained the position they rightly assum-
ed. The Government has backed down of
course, and the writ of its Court goes for
naught. "Out West" it appears, we do not
have fear Of SOLDIERS and marines" -Chicoqo
1ribane.

The WELSH ELEMENT of our population,
says an exchange, is more important than is
generally supposed. At the present time
there are estimated to be in the United States
about fifty thousand natives Of Wales. Be-
sides this, it is said that there were of Welsh
origin seventeen of the signers of the De-
claration of Independence, six Presidents of
the United States, and fourteen Revolution
airy Generals The Presidents were Jeffer-
son, John Adams and his son, Monroe, Mad
lson and Harrison. Washington's wife, it is
asserted, was the granddaughter of a Welsh
clergyman; and Jonathan Edwards Yale. the
founder of Yale College, John Marshall and
Richard Henry Lee, are also classed as of
Welsh origin. eL e4--..ss1 -rE

GONE EAsT.-Among the various depar-
lures r the East which have been occur
rng during these days of threatened
freeze-up, the Times of yesterday announces
the following:
''The Falls City and Kate Cassel left for
the East yesterday morning, for the last time
this fal.''
Our neighbor must have been mistaken
in regard to the Falls City, for we saw her
yesterday at our landing, preparing to take
up her winter quarters here at St. Paul.
But Kate has undoubtedly gone, as we do
not see her about. Whether she takes the
Central" or Southern - route from Chi
cago, our neighbor does not inform us-and
We don't know. But we hope Kate will let
us hear from her Wien she arrives at New
York or Boston, or at any otherpoint in that
direction.
