CO One of the provisions of the Nebraska
Kansas bill vests in the Governor of Kansas the
power Of appointing justices Of the peace and
other local officers in the territory. The Govern
or in the exercise of his power, did not appoint
such persons as suited the Missouri party, and
accordingly the latter have held meeting at
kickaroo City. ut which they have elected other
justices to act instead of the legal ones. This is
a new version of the squatter sovereignty.

CHSA.-On the 2Sth of Sept. an earthquake took
place at Hong Kong and Canton, but did no dam
age. At Ningpo an immense number of junks, at
the latest dates blocked up the river, being part
ly unable to dispose Of their cargoes, but more
generally deferred by fear Of pirates from ventur-
ing out to sea. The pirates thus feared arc those
employed by the Taoutae Sanqua to conquer the
rebels at Shanghai, who are said to be assembled
in great force in the Chusan group of islands, at
tacting and destroying every craft, native or Eu-
ropean, within reach. Great fears were entertain
cd of their being emboldened to attack Ningpo,
in which case the city would most likely fall into
their hands,

.GT We have learned that, in some portions
OF this State, the people have, BY common consent,
resolved not to press, harass, and sue one anoth
er ior money during these very stringent times,
ana tnat any person who should attempt to sue
his neishbor purely to coerce money out Of him
would be frowned down, and that a LAWYER who
should promote the institution of suits for the
collection of moaey would be discountenanced.
This surely the proper spirit for all to possess
during these stringent times.
It's fact that the embarrassments at present
nave originated mainly from circumstances not to
nave been controlled by the people such as the
universal and unparalleled drouth added to the
extensive and destructive wars of Europe. For
bearance isa great virtue at uny time, but esne-
eally now and il will have its proper reward, Il
vexatious, costly litigation: suits for moncy
should, if possible, be avoided 1t has been Of,

PRocREssISc.-The Legislature of Iowa has
passed Prohibitory Liquor Law, which is to be
submitted to the people, and which we hopefully
trust will be sanctioned by them.
The time is coming when Minnesota will be
called uron to act on this subject. As soon as
the public mind becomes settled on the present
exciting questions, matters of more Importance
will come up for discussion, and prominent u
mong these will be Il Prohibitory Lqor Law.

DISTRESSING CAsUALTY.-On Thursday last, G..
W. Leach, "a worthy citizen of Minnesota, oppo-
site Hudson,) with Mr.. Robertson, of Lakeland,
were attempting to cross Lake St. Croix, nine
miles below Hudson, the ice gave way and the
horses sunk in forty feet of water and were inn
mediately drowned. AS quick as thought, Leach
and Robertson both jumped out of the cutter,
barely saving themselves. Two four horse seighs,
loaded with young ladies and gentlemen If Pres
colt had but a few moments before passed over
the very spot. on their way home from Ball in
Hudson. Our informant says that On examining
the ice for twenty rods, over which they had all
passed, it proved to be only about one half to
two inches thick. The weather has been so re-
markably mild here this winter, that we think it
is scarcely safe for those not well acquainted to
risk the ice anywhere on the Lake. Many of the

It will be seen by the card Of Page Bacon. that
the Bank of America, New York, The first Bank
ing Institution in the country, has at once come
forward to the aid of Page l. Bacon. This we
set down as but FIRST instalment of cheering
announcements. We learned the worst at first;
and, as wc said in giving it to the public, matters
turn out to be not as bad as they seemed at the
outset. From this temporary check, our honored
and entarprising fellow citizens will but gather
new force to continue their heroic exortions
which have already brought them through difi-
culties that few but they would have dared to
face. We make this publication with joyous
hearts; it will give the sincerest pleasure to
thousands who have no direct pecuniary interest
in the matter, and must still further confirm that
confidence which the events of yesterday sufhced
to restore. There is no Western man that will
not give his sncercst sympathy to Page & Bacon
in this struggle in which they have been involved
bv their zeal for the interests of the West, and
no Western heart that will not rejoice that so
powerful an arm has been stretched out to them
in their hour of need.-St. Louis Dem. y

ANONy ysOrs IySINUATIONS.

There is a man in this city who, has been for
the last six months writing occasionally for the
Times. but who has never had the manliness nor
courage to put his own name to an article. In
character with the nature of the man himself, he
seeks by covert, undermined, mean, contcmpti-
Bile insinuations to inurc the character of others
He is out again in the Times this morning, and
has much to say about hypOc: ties. when, II we
not mistaken in tho individual. he is the verb
est hypocrite that God ever made into the form OF
man. He talks about fraud, when We know there
have been falsehood and deceit continually on his
tongue for wears. Take our advice {" LOrer Of
good and true men, conine yourself to your
own business, and leave the affairs of this Ter
ritory and the men whom the people have g de-
lighted to honor "tO the eitiseas Of Minnesota"
The above is from the Democrat Of Wednes-
day. The editor of the Democrat is informed
that the " Lover of Good and True men," is not
10 be deferred by him, or by any other man, from
exercising the head and heart which God has CIV
en- him in boldly proclaiming the truth, if by SO
doing, he in his judgment thinks that the cause
of trs tn may be furthcred and the best interests
of the Territory promoted. The g Lover of Good
and True Men, admits that he has written many
articles for the various papers of this city, when
ever he deemed the times and the occasion de-
manded them but he has not written one which
he is not willing to acknowledge as his own, and
which he would have acknowledged over his own
signature, if he could have done so, without ap-
pearing consequential and ostentatious. The ed
itor of the Democrat, however, would insinuate
that he is perfectly acquainted with the GLOVER
of Good and True men,'' AMI the object of this
communication is to inform him that IS he pro-
fesses to know him, probably he would be willing
to save him the ostentation Of giving his own
name, by presenting it to the public himself. If
SO he is at perfect liberty to do it.
The advice which the editor of the Democrat
gives me, to ':confnc myself to my own business,
and to leave the affairs of this Territory and the
men whom the people have delighted to honor to
the citizens of Minnesota" l have no objection
to, having always acted upon this principle; saw
ing that as native born citizen of the country,
though uyusily and unconstitutionally deprived
of the rights of citizenship in the Territory, al
belt property holder and denizcn of the Ter
ritory for nearly four years last past, l am as
much interested in its solid and permanent pros
perity as any other man in it; and rs long as |
can hold a pen and have heart to sympathize
with humanity, and can lend it helping hand in
its struggle for freedom, from chcanery and vice,
SO long will be found to be battling N its side
with the True and the Honorable of the land.
