THE MINI E S 0 T la N.
SATURDAY MORNING, DEeS 4EAf 1851
Changing the Indian

"TorAL DEpRAvITY" has been rampant
in St. Paul for several days, to feast his eyes
upon the death struggles. of fellow-being'-
s'The Indan'--whose name it is unnecessary
to recollect, for with him it passes from earth
who was convicted more than two years since
of numbering white woman near Shakopee,
had been confined since then in a miserable
pig-sty, dignifed with the name of the
"jail of Ramsey County," and yesterday was
finally set as the day of his execution. Why
he was not compelled to suffer the penalty
Gustly pronounced upon him by the offended
law one year ago, is question which must be
answered at the Bar Of Judgement by those
who interfered at the time to prevent it but
this we know and say, that an act of barbarous
cruelty more inhuman than keeping the poor
creature in that loathsome pen one year after
the proper period of his execution, cannot be
found in the annals of any heather nation that
ever gloated over the sufferings of captive
enemy.
Total Depravity was out early yesterday
morning, in order to witness the death strug-
giles of the poor victim of the outraged law
In fact, Total Depravity appeared not to have
gone to bed at all on Thursday night, for the
slumbers of peaceful citizens was frequently
disturbed by the firing of guns and pistols about
the Jail (!!)-Total Depravity perhaps fearing
that the blood of the victim might yet be pre-
vented from flowing; and if bullet should
perchance penetrate the fragile wall of his
prison and end his woes, O surety to Total
Depravity's heart-cherished desire would thus
be guaranteed.
When nine o'clock came, it was evident that
our Sheriff was strong friend of Total De-
pravity, for he was preparing to erect the scat
fold in one of the most public places in the city
of St. Paul and Total Depravity applauded
the Sheriff in the act, and cheered loudly at
learning that our statute did not prohibit public
hanging. The Sherffappeared Invested of the
humanity of the Jewish mob, who cried out
"Crucify Him % but were still constrained, by
their better feelings of respect for themselves
and for Jerusalem, to have the awful deed done
outside the walls of their city.
Well.judging Public Opinion, however, COM
PEELED the representative of Total Depravity,
the Sheriff, to take down his gallows and be off:
The instruments of Death were conveyed to
some one of the neighboring prairies or open
ings and the last we saw of Total Depravity,
he was marching, with great pomp and noise,
in the rear of the Sheriff and the prisoner, to
witness the final scene.

In 1885 the revenue accruing to Denmark
from these dues was 100000, or about one
on landed property. In 1885 the Sound tolls
had reached $2,5OO,OOO, and it is said that in
the last twenty-five years the total amount of
revenue from these tolls has amounted to $780,
100000. This is an enormous tax to be levied
by Denmark on the commerce of the Baltic,
which she has no more right to than would

to and from the Mediterranean to pay a toll

of Congress of last session, to fix the compen-

upon the compensation previously received by
them, commencing July LIST, 1853. Mr.. Mich

Collision between U. s. and state Cour.s-Im
portant DecisiOni


portant Decisionl
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania gave
decision recently in the following case. Last
year, at Wilkesbarre, the officers who attempt
cd to capture Bill Thomas, fugitive slave,
were arrested on an indictment for assault with
intent to kill, found by the Luzerne County
Court but Judge Kane, ofthe U. S. District
Court discharged them. They were re-arrest-
ed by order of the Supreme Court. While in
custody of the Sheriff, they were taken before
U. S. Circuit Court on writ of Habeas Cor
pus. Judge Grier, ON hearing the testimony,
ordered the Sheriff to discharge the prisoners
and he did so. The present action was foo an
attachment aginst the Sheriff for contempt Of
Court.
The Supreme Court decided that the U. S.
Court had no jurisdiction, and that the Sheriff
was guilty OF contempt. In consideration, how
ever, of the ignorance of that officer, the at
tachment was not granted.
FINANCES OF CALIFoRNIA.-The San Francis
co Alta, Nov. l6, says "The financial affairs
of the State are in most prosperous condition
A few days since the State Treasurer advertis
ed for bids for the redemption Of $3.50, 900 o.
the State seven per cent bonds due in 1857
Only one bid was received and that for $1,000
at par and interest. Bond holders have sucf
confidence in their investments, that they pre-
fer the bonds to the money. In accordance
with law the Treasurer has again advertised
but probably will receive no bids. The inter
est due in New York on the first of January
amounting to $4,000 has already been for
warded. and $10O 900 has been set apart to pa,
the principal and interest of bonds due il
March next 100000 has also accumulated t.
pay the bonds due in 1860.
DEsPIsING HOUSEHOLD DUTIEs.-From varie
ty of causes, nothing is more common than t.
find American women who have not the slight
est idea of household duties. A writer thus al
ludes to this lin this neglect of household
cares American females stand alone. A Ger
man lady mo matterhow high her rank, never for
gets that domestic labors conduce to the healt
of body and mind alike. An English lady
whether she be only gentleman's wife, or
dukes does not despise the household, and eve
though she has a house-kceper. devotes POI
ton of her time to this, her happiest sphere
1t is reserved for our republican fine ladies t
be more choice than even their monarchica
and aristocratic sisters. The result is lass
tude of mind often as fatal to health as neglec
of bodily exercise. Tho wife who leaves he
household cares to the servants, pays the pen
atty which has been affixed to idleness sine
the foundation of the world, and either wilt
away from ennui, or is driven to all sorts o
fashionable follies to find employment for th
mind"
