Kansas Affairs.


The article we copy to-day from the Missouri
Democrat, shows that instead of the Free State
men in Kansas being to blame for the late out
break, it is the Pro-Slavery men, who, without
cause, fortified themselves for fight, and finally
had to surrender. The late renewed effort of the
Border Rufhans to exclude Freedom from the Ter
ritory, had aroused the ire of the Free State
men, and when fight was shown, fight was given
and the enemies of Right were defeated. The
Chicago Tribune speaks our sentiments exactly
on this subject:
g The war is begun in Kansas. 1t will be no
child's play. The Free State men have deter
mined to defend their rights and their homes, and
they were towards if they did not do that. They
must fight or fall. They are right, then, in meet
ing the border men-n wrestling from them the
means to annoy or destroy them and if gen.
eral conflict ensues, if Iowa and Illinois are
aroused, if the whole North determines to stand
by them, let the consequences rest where they
should rest--upon the heads of the Pro- Slavery
men, who are determined to extend the curse Of
Slavery, at any and at every hazard. The Free.
men of Kansas will not yield. Nor should they.
Lille is worth nothing without Liberty, and If that
must be fought for, the fight cannot begin too
soon. We have dallied too long with this mat
ter. Let it be met. Let US know whether free,
white men are to have their rights, or whether
the Slave-Power shall rule for its own class BEN
eit, and to extend the curse of its own class in

Rum ana Gambling.

We use no soft terms. If rumselling and gam
bling are permitted to have full sway in this city,
it is useless to appoint policemen at a cost of
$4,000 per year, in order to suppress disturban-
ces. 1t can't be done. In any other city these
hell-holes would be purged out. We insist that
murders and rows will continue until the source
of these evils are removed. The click Of the
billiard ball, the shuttle of the card, the jingle OF
the wine glass and the hollow laugh of the inc
briaee, can be heard as strangers and others walk
our streets. terrible earthquake of corrup-
tor. will sooner or later arouse our citizens to
consciousness of where they are-will they heed
our warning?

T CoMxoN CouNcIL.-At the last session of the
Council, Alderman Branch introduced an Ordi-
nance regulating the erection of buildings within
the city limits, which was laid over to be acted
upon next week. The first section reads rs fol-
lows:-
No person shall hereafter erect, or place any
building, any part of building within the fol-
lowing limits, unless such building, or mart of
building. shall be constructed OF stone or brick,
with partition, or fire wallis of the material,
lifting at least ten inches above the roof, viz:
Beginning at point on the Mississippi river
where the Easterly line of Sibley street, when
tended in its present direction, will strike the
Mississippi river, thence Northwardly on the East
line of Sibly street to the Southerly line of Eighth
street, thence Westerly along the Southerly line
of Eighth street to the Westerly side OF Robert
street, thence Southerly along the Westerly side
of Robert street to point where the Westerly
line of Robert street strikes the Mississippi river,
thence down the channel hank of the Mississippi
river to the place of beginning, and also all lots,
or parcels of land lying on the West side and
adjoining Robert street between the Southerly
line Of Eighth street and the Mississippi river,
and if any building, not made and constructed
of stone or brick shall be erected, or placed with
in the aforesaid prescribed limits, or upon the
aforesaid parcels lots of land, contrary to the
provisions of this section, the owner or owners,
builder or builders thereof shall severally forfeit
the penalty of fifty dollars for each and every
offence, and also penalty of fifty dollars for each
and every week such building shall SO remain
within said limits, and upon the aforesaid lots or
parcels of land as above prescribed.
The Ordinance further provides that buildings
ten feet square and twelve in height be erected
of wood within the limits. Wood-houses for
storing irewood shall not exceed 20 feet in length
No barn shall exceed "a feet in length, and such
buildings cannot front the street. Partition walls
must be built, or forfeiture of fifty dollars will
be the consequence. No person has right TO re-
move building of wood from one part of his lot
to another, under forfeiture of $50.
1t should be remembered this Ordinance has
not passed, but is to be acted upon next week.

Important TO Settlers upon School Lands.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IL, 1856.
To the Editors of the Pioneer & Democrat:
Gentlemen,-Through the columns of the pa
pers in Minnesota, wish to inform those who
made settlements upon the School Sections, in
good faith, either as pre-emptors, or as occu-
pants of town sites, prior to the Government
Survey, that there can be no doubt but law will
be passed at the next regular session of Congress
for their relief.
The General Land Office recommended this
and the Committees on Public Lands, in the Sem
ate and House recommended and reported Bills
to the same end, and they are now among the un-
finished business, but one of them will be taken
up and passed at an early day next Winter, with
out doubt.
l write this to assure those interested, that
their rights will be respected-so just measure
cannot fair.
Very respectfully, yours, &C.,
II. Nj. RICE.

Economy in City Matters.

For any community to be prosperous an econ
omical system of public expenditures is absolute
ly OF the most paramount Importance. Any
reckless system of Administration in city Finan-
will ultimately involve us in heavy liabilities,
to meet which a resort to onerous taxation will
be the only means of relief, --and heavy taxation
never fails bringing in its train its legitimate con-
comtant-depreciatio in all real and personal
property. Let the fact 90 abroad, that the city
of st. Paul is grooming under the evil effects of
oyertaxation, and see how utterly impossible it
udicious capitalist will at once see the folly of
investing in species of property on which there
is an annual municipal lien tantamount to its
prospective increase, and If we wish TO keep free
from such blghting effects the most judicious
management must be practically apparent in all
manner of city improvements. That reckless
ness, incompetency and extravaganza have marked
known fact, and in some instances it has cost the
city nearly as much to rectify their blunders as
the whole estimate of the original work. Jack
son street has been one of the victims to that
great enemy to public and private enterprise
Ignorance For what other excuse can be Of
fered by the men having this matter in charge.
Then again there is another monument of still
lesser dimensions at the junction of Hill with st.
Anthony and Market streets. We are also in
formed by one of the most intelligent Engineers
in the Territory that the excavation now in pro-
gress for the grading of Chestnut street is based
upon the same inaccurate estimate, and like
jackson street will have to undergo the filling
up" process uRless corrected in time. In making
these remarks we are prompted by the best Of
feelings toward alphabetically the taxpayers,
and trust they may be the means of turning pub
lie attention to the importance of economy in
city expenditures.

Another MurderOus ARRAY.

A fight occurred in the lower part of the city
on Tuesday night last. One Of the parties was
arrested and conveyed to Jail, aud as blood was
found on his back and under his arm, and as his
companion is missing, fears are entertained that
another murder has been committed. When will
these things cease? Only when rum is removed.
p. S. We learn that the person missing has
been found, with one of his fingers bitten of and
his person severely bruised, although he is not
as dangerously injured as reported. The diff
Guilty originated in drunken fight, and the par
ties are Germans and Irishmen. Isn't it best to
close the rum shops at 10 o'clock.

CO The only charge against Strickland Co.,
OF Mobile, is the selling of books that were re-
garded as of an incendiary character, inasmuch as
they favored the freedom of the slaves, and for
this Vigilance Committee waited upon them and
told them to leave, and they did leave. Suppose
the North should eject from their midst those who
advocate the "peculiar institution" wouldn't
there be rumpus? Northern men must submit,
but Southern men can do as they please. This
thing has gone far enough, and we say that it is
time for the North to assert its rights and main.
tain them.

WHAT SHALL WE Do?

Remain idle, now that Fremont Club has been
organized? Is that all that is necessary to Sc
cure success? or shall we have weekly meetings
with short addresses from some of the people
working men We mean-the mechanics? Success
does not come of itself-it needs exertion, siren.
nous exertion, and unless the Republicans of this
city are up and dong-unless they perfect some
system of cooperation with their brethren
throughout the Territory, We tell them before
hand, they'll get most handsomely whipped. 1t
lacks but one month of our Fall election, and yet
little nothing has been done for the Canvass. in
this city. Why it? Gentlemen are not afraid
of their princples-it can't be that, but are they
not too sure of success without work? Isn't that
the difficulty? Ye who pretend to lead in the
Republican movement in this Territory, bestir
yourselves or defeat will make you ashamed of
your positions. We want more enthusiasm, more
labor, songs, speeches, documents-in q word
more interest than has hitherto been exhibited
Shall we have it, or shall all efforts to organize
Republican party in this Territory prove abortve?
Act your pleasure, gentlemen. We are doing and
shall continue to do what we can to disseminate
the principles of the Party, but we cannot expect
a bountiful harvest without reapers and workers.

New JAIL AND CRY HAIL.-Three bids have
been made for building new City Hall and Jail
in this city, viz: Alfred Davidson 81 500, of
stone-Albert Fuller and Geo. Scott, of stone,
$6,5OO-Albert Fuller / Co., of brick, $1,000.
The bid was awarded to the second named gentle
men, with the underst anding that the building
must be closed in by the first of November next.
We hope those who have any serious intentions
of violating the law, will postpone the act until
the new Jail is erected, for confinement in the old
Jail will most assuredly superinduce the plague.

population of this new town in :. state of ssNim-

Buccaneers is not to be followed by stampede
of the old Wings. The Boston Courier, jour-
nal as bitterly pro-Slavery as the Charleston

distinguished of them intend to pursue, says:
"With respect to certain gentlemen of the old
Wing party-Messrs. Everett, Winthrop, Hunt,
billiard, and others-whose names have been
mentioned as among those who were likely to go
for Buchanan, we may say that not one of them
has any idea Of following the lead of Mr.. Choate,
and we speak from good authority when we say
that they regret, as much as we do, such an un-
expected announcement of Mr.. Choate's opin-
