A Railroad COnfiscated.

We learn from the st. Louis Democrat,
that on last Wednesday, Mr.. Alexander,
trustee of Page & Bacon, came across the
river into Illinois, and took formal posses
sien of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad
with all it's fixtures, in accordance with the
powers conferred upon him by the deed of
trust, lately executed by the quartette d.
rectory for the benefit of Page & Bacon.
Under this proceeding there is total sus-
pension of the powers of the corporation
a confscation of the interest of every stock
holder-a transfer of the books and accounts
and conversion of the entire road into a
mere personal chattel in the hands of Page
4 Bacon, who hereafter receive all profits,
choose all officers, make all engagements for
labor Or material, and have exclusive control
and possession. This swallows up all that
has been contributed by stockholders, and
the 100000 subscribed by the city of St.
Louis ..... s.. .r.

by the decomposition Of water; The appa-

being slightly orange tint, and producing
not the least smoke A gentleman of Cleve-
land compared the apparatus with that of

expense of the gas, it is represented, will be
next to nothing. DR.. Taylor and his friends

WINsLow's HorEL.-The new Winslow's
Hotel, at st. Peters, on the Mendoza river
is rapidly approaching completion. The
walls were completed more than week ago,
and although the work was commenced as

THE LArtsr ExcmEMENr in the city is the
anctioningaof horses, and the scene of action
lies principally on Third street, but generally
all over town, the ,sknoek down" howev-
er, generally taking place on Third street,
in the presence of molly groupe of con-
noisseurs in horses, of" know nothings,a in
fact, as regards that noble animal, bat loud
in the profession of knowledge-of loafers
who, having no money of their own lounge
around to advise the innocent who have,
how to spend it, and of that singular inter-
mixture little boys, pigs,wagons,and every
thing else that could possibly make up the
show Of a crowd, or block up the Street.
The cause of the present excitement may
be traced, possibly, to the active competi-
ton which exists, in all good feeling, be-
tween the rival auctioneers If Collins,
mounted on saddle horse, and displaying
its points and PAGES to the best advantage,
is crying in one street, it is pretty GER
tain that Moses seated i'll buggy, is doing
the same in another and the grand wind
up on Third street, in front of their respec-
tive establishments is, therefore, cause of
attraction to the interested and the curious.
1t creates an excitement that has novelty
in it, but the course of travel is too often
checked by it. There should be some open
space for the display of wagons, and the
showing off of horses bat of all places, the
most thickly travelled portion of the princi
pal business street, should not he selected
for it. There are plenty of places very con
venient, with ample room and verge enough
for all the display necessary, and if Horse
market were once so fixed, all persons de
lsiring to buy would go thither and bargain
with better chance uf pleasing themselves
and those who sell. Stated days of sale
and fixed hours of sale, will bring purchas
ers together better than the present mode

po,1ce roree ON tho Levee.


, Wehave heard repeatedly of thefts hav.
ing been committed on the Levee and in
the hurry and hustle attending the discharge
of several boats at once, and the apparently
confused masses of merchandise tumbled
out as rapidly as possible, it is no wonder
that thieves find ample opportunity to hlch
without being observed. 1t requires sharp
eye on the part of the second clerk of q
boat to see that the hands place the freight
in the proper places on the levee, and at the
same time dtliver it over to the proper own
er. While looking in one direction, the
thief can easily be operating i'll another, if
he has impudence enough, and the opera;
tions of the latter are too often covered and
protected, unwittingly it is true, by the pro-
miscuous mass of loungers and loafers, OF
which st. Paul possesses its share like all
other places, who are almost constantly about
the steamboats, and on shore
The remedy is to be found in the creation
of police force for the Levee. Besides
establishing a sharp lookout for the detec
ton of rogues, it would prevent disorders of
all sorts, aid materially in the regular and
speedy transaction of business, and in the
protection of merchandise accidentally mis-
laid or overlooked by the owners, and not
removed at once. None but those engaged
in business have any idea of the vexations
and annoyances to which the speedy remov.
al of merchandise from the landing is sub
|jected, especially when it is well filled up
and half of these arise from want of sys
, tem,-from the absence of some power to
correct, and to stop, if need be, the general
: rush made all at once by everybody to gel
at what is their own.
The amonnt of goods stolen within 9
short time past, has been quite considerable
and the losses paid thereon would suffice
: for the salaries of two efficient officers for
: one year. Roguery is never retrograde, SC
, long as impunity attends its operations, and
; it is not to be expected that those who have
thus far been successful, will relax in their
; exertions, but will, on the contrary, call eff
fective aid to them 1t is always so until
the matter is checked or stopped, and that
can be best done by policeman whose sole
business it is to watch INSIDERS and correct
disorders
We hope the City Council will conside,
4 this matte. as one in which the business part
Of the community especially, has an inter
J est, and, if on that account only, constitute
I q protective force. 1t is impossible for the
] Marshal, with his multifarious duties, to at
t tend to it, and the city is now large enough
! and does business enough to be able to
: maintain special guard upon its Leyee
: against marauders. '."..-

Territorial Democratic Convention


1t will be seen by notice in to-day's PIoN-
EER, that the Democratic Central Commit
tee of the Territory have called Conven.
ton of Delegates from the several counties
to meet at St. Paul on the 25th July next,
for the purpose of nominating a candidate
for Delegate to Congress to be supported
by the Democracy. We think the commit
tee have crowded events into very small
compass quite too small for the best inter
ests Of the party. One month is hardly q
reasonable time in which to secure full
and fair representation of the whole Terri
tory. There is an objection, also, in its be-
ing called for the same day OH which the
miscalled Republican" convention is to be
held. We suggest these things as apparent
blunders on the part of the Committee !;
though not for the purpose of being cap
tious in our faultfnding. On the contrary,
we trust the Democracy will heed the ne
cessity of the case and be all the more en-
ergetic in consideration of the limited peri
cd given then. E,1r action. Let there be a
full canvass Throughout the Territory on
this subject Of Delegate-a free and frank
expression Of preferences and objections by
the people-and a just development of their
real wishes in the primary and territorial
conventions. A candidate thus fairly brought
forward, and qualified for the position, will
be returned to Congress by an overwhclm-
ing majority /; for the Territoryis thorough
ly and radically democratic HT, I'D
We indicate no preference as to who
should be the candidate of the Democracy,
for we entertain none. Any fair represent
ative of the party's virtue and intelligence
will be earnestly supported by this journal,
without reference to past affiliations or dis
agreements.
