DIDN'T PASS.

The Bills constituting County Auditor, max
ing the County Treasurer collector of taxes, and
appointing j. p. Wilson and a. NJ. Fridley as the
men through whom the funds of the County
should pass, did not receive the sanction of the
Legislature, and consequently are not laws. The
first two Bills were worthy the attention of the
"assemblcd wisdom;" but the last one deserves
the fate il has received. Before the meeting Of
another Legislature, the people of this County
will be fully posted on County matters, and if we
do not greatly mistake the signs of the times, they
will demand that something shall be done to pre-
vent County officers from putting their hands into
the meal bag. Citizens of Ramsey County! give
this matter your investigation.

A FEW ITEMS FOR THE PEOPLE.


by reference to the Appropriation Bill passed
by the Legislative Assembly Of this Territory, on
Saturday night, the Sd, or rather Sunday morn
ing the 4tl, we find an account of n9arly $l3,-
900! for the incidental printing of the session,
being some $1,000 more than last year. We
do not think there has been much business
done this session as last, and VIC are at loss
therefore, to know how such bill could possibly
be made. From own personal observation.
We are free to state, that this Public Printing sys-
TEN is regular gouging game, and deserves the
attention Of the proper officers at Washington.
Thousands of dollars annually paid out Of
the L. ). Treasury for printing in this Territory.
for which the parties have not sh ,dow Of claim.
VIII Mr.. Whittcisey examine this matter?
Again. We find an ertra appropriation Of $50
for Mr.. Sheplcy, Chief Clerk OF the House, for
Icing sup at nj ght and at other times when the
House was not in session. The same amount
was voted to Mr.. Wilson, cngrossing clerk, and
also to Mr.. Holland assistant clerk for the same
reason. The bill does not state why they up
at night. They might have been inlulging in
"a free and casy'-who knows? Again.
Messrs. Wilson and Covili, after receiving their
regular salaries, are voted $4j each for cleIk;
hire. And SO on, we might continue to enumer-
ate, but we forbcar. We do sincerely hope that
'.thc powers that be-" at Washington will put
stopper on this wholesale disposition of the pub
lie money.

WILL CRANBKRRIEs Cure ERYsIPELAs?-All we
knew about it was that the editor of the New Ha-

our family few days since and stated that her
daughter had the erysirelas quite bad. On re-
turning home in the evening she found the dis
ease was spreading badly, and had assumed a
frightful appearance. She Immediately applied
q poultice made of cranberries, which seemed to
arrest it at once, and the second poultice affected
a complete cure. If any person wishes to know
the party they can inquire at our sanctum.-Nilcs

c. The Buffalo Republic says that the follow

gentleman, doing business and residing in the up

one of bis friends for assistance. His friend ac-
companicd him to the house of German, where
our friend stated his object, and having satisfied
the German in regard to the 'susance,' security,
&C., we'll filed stocking was brought out, and
the $500 forthwith counted down and placed in
his hands, accompanied by the remark, 81 lend
you FIVE huntret tollar more if you want 'em.''
This generous offer was declined, the transac-
ton closed, and our friend turned to leave,
the door opened and in dropped the three Or four
ragged children of the money lender, with bas-
kets on their arms, when the borrower at once
recognized as CIRCULAR customers" at his house,
and who had jurt that moment returned irom his
larder, with their customary supply of cold VIC
tuals for the boarders.

THAT HOKUS POKUS BILL.

1t may not be generally known to our readers,
that the Bill dividing Ramsey County which the
Governor did not sign, contained section setting
off Pine County, for the express purpose of elud-
ing taxation ON the part of those who are inter.
ested in the Pincries and whose taxes for the past
year haye amounted to some thousands OF dollars.
The advocates of the Bill desired,
lst. To cut off the upper part of Ramsey Co.,
which embraces the lumber lands and to consti-
tute that into Pine County.-Ast this County would
then be under the control of capitalists, mat
ter of course the county would never be organ
ICED and consequently no taxes would be collected
clear saving of some $4,000 or $4,000 to the own
ers of the lands, and a loss to Ramsey County of
that amount.
I'd. The Bill further proposed, after having cut
off Pine County, to next divide off St. Anthony
County in a narrow strip, and thus avoid the re-
sponsibility of paying part of the County debt,
and at the same time make st. Anthony the Coun-
ty seat.
Sd. AS will be very readily seen, if the Cover
nor had signed the Bill, Ramsey County would
have been ruined, heavy debt would have BEEN
thrust upon it, and our cunning friends at ST. An
thony and in Pine County, would have laughed at
the manner in which they had duped the Execu-
tive and the people of this city. ,....
There has been great deal Of s'skull-duggcry"
carried on in this Territory during the past six
months, but we know of nothing which will COM
pare with the adroitness with which this Bill was
drawn up and the manner in which it was ham
died, for the express purpose of evading taxation,
and running Ramsey County. If the orignators
and defenders Of the Bill, arc not marked, then
we have no faith in men. ...t.

JEALOUSY.

We pity the man who is jealous heartily pity
him. He certainly cannot enjoy life, but on the
contrary must be continually in hot watcr-con-
tn.ally fretting and foaming, because, forsooth,
his neighbor, by strict attention to his business
or his studies, may be more successful in the
paths of life than he. He foolishly imagincs,
that by pulling down another he will thereby be
advanced. He has not the capacity or compre-
hensiveness of mind to discover that just in pro-
portion as he aids his neighbor, he in like pro-
portion will be aided. But onward he plunges,
maddened by ill success, caused by his own self
isbness, until forsaken by his best friends and
loathed by his enemies. Such men have their
days. Like butterflies, for time they futter on
the surface of life, then flicker and flicker and
pass to nothingness. Poor, miserable creatures !!
we pity them! Pity them, because SO constitu-
ted. Pity them, because in their efforts to harm
others they invariably injure themselves. Pity
them, because they do society no good, but exc
out q miserable existence, and die unregretted and
unmourned. "Hf
