FEMALE VIGILANCE CoMMIrTEE-A correspon>
5ent nj MoorsyiIle Indiana has favored the New
York Tribune with graphic account of the uprising
Of the women in that yicinity,in defiance Of law and
order and successfully putting an end to the rum
traffic in their village. On the atternoonof Noyem-
Al tbe chuIch bells gave forth some omnous peals
upon hearing which the proprietor of the rum shop
cissed his doors and put the blinds up before the
place and finding they could obtain admittance in
and kegs were taken out of the place, the heads
STAYED in and the contents spilled on the ground.
The female mobites then dispersed.
Col. Wheeler, it is stated, has intmated that h

lean citizens at Granada, nnder circumstances al

ST. PAUL, Minnesota, Nov. IL, 1856.
To the general reader Minnesota is. perhaps Of
little interest, but, as one of the tester daughters
the Nebraska Kansas bill, and as growing garden
which next year will apply for admitanee as one q
the copfederated States Of the Republic she askss
little corner Of your paper. Many have doubte"
surveyed our political character with sehcisude-
some perhaps with suspicion and distrust bat
tell Won that the cause Of Freedom, yes, and Ere
mont too, is all right here The people are alive
TO the issue, their eyes open, their hearts are
rbrobbipg, and they throb in the right spot. Our
Territorial election has recently been seld and
find its result falsely reportedi in the East sod South
1t makes not much difference Aeso it Is reported,
politically, as national politics did not control the
Elections Success or defeat generally depended
upon the choice of county seat or some ether locs
ssue. But let the truth be known. Ever since
the organization Of the Territory the Dcmocrats
have been in the ascendant in both branches Of our
Legislature Noe the Cosncil (Which represents
The Senate in the States} stands z Republicans 7
Sham Democrats, and. one Anti-Pierco. Ant Ne.
brsska, Free-Ka Democrat. The Loco-Foco
House is also rev misunderstanding Of 10 Re.
uublicans, Is Sham Democrats, and one elected 40
an Independent, who Is kepuDlican IN sentiment
and heart, and will be in voice and vote. SO we
have them on Joint ballot! The heart of the Terri
tory is right If We could have spoken for President
Fremont would have had Il, 900 out Of our 10, 600
votes. The Digration into the Territory (and it
is immense) is almost a unit on the demand, mo
more Slavery aggression" Next year, If you
will let us in we will contribute to the cause Of
Free Kansas and Free Emigration, two Senators
and two representatives., TO maintain our M.
tiopal honor voice which shall never flter in 10
speech and an arm that will strike some strong brave
blows for the maintenance Of constitutional liberty
thence upon the temporary defeat the cause has
suffered in the States. They know t0a = God 10

The Secretary Of the Interior complains bitterly
Of and dilates q. length upon, the immense amount
Of work he has to do, and the incongruous ma
.ure of the matters over which his jurisdiction ex-
tends. He protests against any further burdens
being imposed upon bis department, and evidently
hints, though he says nothing directly on the sub
ject, a. the proprie.y Of erecting new Depart
uent or two to share labors.
The surveys of public lands have progressed with
rapidity; but Of the seventeen millions nearly or
quite ready for market, alarge potion has been with
drawn from sale in consequence OF the recent rail-
road grants ard cannot be stored for nine months
or more.
TIE actual settlement clause in the graduation
set seems &c be almost universally neglected, and
the Secretary appears to be OF opinion that il mi
be dispensed with altogether.
There has also been good deal Of cheating in
heating the State swamp lands; but the Secretary
thinks that the shortest and easiest way will be to
overlook all departures from law, AMI to condrm
without questi, the sesction made BY the States
interested.

The very platform new presented to The Herald by
The TRrBuNE, as the embodiment Of Tr1banittd|wis-
dom is 90 absuIdly drawn that in one paragraph says
that Congress has sovereign power over the Ter
itories" and in the next il Gays: We deny the au'
thorty of Congress 10 give legal exsteoee to slavery
" in any Territory Of the United States winch OF
these two statements contains The TRisUSE's SEN
tments exsctlyl' Herald
Ansrer. Both of them. We hold that Congress
has sovereign legislative power over the Territories
inst as our Legislature hss over this State; but
sovereign power is not arbitrary, despotie, unim-
tied power; and our Legislature has no power to
establish Slavery in this State, nor has Congress
such power in the Territories.
Some people profess to zee in the asserted power
of Congress to prohibit Slavery like power to
admit or legalze it; but that does not follow. Our
Legislature has power to forbid and punish muir
der; it has no rghtfal power to shield and reward
murder In short, there is "higher la~," as
The HraH will yet discern. OF that law, human
legislation should be, but often is not, atrue re-

1t appears from the Postmaster Generals Report
that the number Of Post Offices in the Union on
the Seth Of June las. was -, 662. Of these, 339
have an income of over 81 900 per annum, and the
Pos,masters are appointed by the President sub
iect to The confirmation Of the Senate. The total
COZ pen ation of Postmasters was, for the last
f,eal year, So lG2, 500. The number Of mail-route
contractors was 6,372; of mail agents, 3o4 and Of
mail messengers, / l0e. The mail was carried
over 90, 323 miles by railroad, over 1881 miles in
steam boats, over 20 l53 miles in coaches AMI over
I53,9l5 miles by inferior cOuveyances. The cost
of transportation for each mile travelled is, by rail-
road, 100 cents; by steamboat, 20.3 cents; BY
coach about cent?, and by inferior conveyances
nearly cents per mle. The total cost OF mail
transportation for the current year. including the
salaries of agents and messengers, but excluding
the ocean service, is $3.50, lbs.
The Postmast-r-General renews his complaint Of
the large smount paid to the Panama Railroad,
amounting for the last fiscal year to SAL 3Os, and
for the frs. quarter of the current fiscal year to
S44,3OS. He rees nmends an act limiting the
amount to be paid for that service to $4,000 and
an appropriation of $500, 900 toward sem-month'
Nv mall, Nicaragua dnO lenddntcpcc giving,
"a th The Panama route, weekly mail to California.
The total expense of the Department for the last
fiscal year was go 405, $50. The entire revenue,
irclud the sDnua amount Of 500, 900 for mail
service rendered the Government, was 81, 62O, s2l
showing deficit of 81, Isl ,O46, which considerably
exceeds the average of the preceding three years.
TIE expenditures for the curren. year are esti-
mated at SIC, ESQ., The revenue a. 80 99l, 794
The abolition of the frankng privilege is urged,
or else that the Department be allowed to charge
the Government the ordinary rates on frsnked
matter; also the abolition Of the fifty per cent
deduction on the postage Of periodicals paid in ad
vance. With these change, and the relief Of the
Department fiom the burden Of the ocean mail
service, the Postmaster General thinks that his
Department: would support itself.
As TO the ocean mail steamers the Postmaster
General does not understand why some Of them
should not start from other ports than New-York.
The obvious reason 10 that New-York is the center
AZ once of our foreign and of our domestic traffic
and that so far the support of the lines depends
upon passengers, New. York has decided advantages
over all other ports. The failures which the Post
mater mentions in case of The ocean mails carried
from New. Orleans, are not much Of an argument
for diffusing the service.

acres. There have been selected under railrosd
dnrstions about Is go 900 acres, and confirmed TO
the A.ates under the Swamp Land grant 6, 036. 900
scres. The pubic domain hss thus been diminished
10 the e.,,,nt of 39,32s,0Oo acres. The sales for
c,,b during TIE second and third quarters Of the
co,,snt calender year were 2,OO0,O65 acres for
81 500, $50.
The total sales fn- the four years past have been
~ oa5 ia acres for So, $40, Isl; while, including,
military bountie. swan lands, and railroad grants,
.ho .ot.I .,an,t;ons amount 10 about 81, 600, 900
acres.
ON the soth of June last there were 1892 pen
.ioper.. at a cost of $I,360694. In this depart
ment, too, many frauds are perpesrated, and the
Secretary calls for additional power to strike from
the lists the names of those who bave ceased to be
entitl ID as invalid pensioners.
The number of patents issued during the year is
about q, 900.
The abuses of the Judiciary departure Mt are still
far from cured, and the Secretary calls for new
lsws-which we doubt not are very much needed
to suppress the peculating spirit which prevails
there.
The Indian Agents, too, the Secretary thinks,
need looking after; and he suggests the appoint
nent of travelling scent to visit them sDd report
on their proceedings.
There are now twexty Indian treaties before the
Senate involving the cession Of ls 600 900 acres OF
land for a consideration Of about Sll,oo,Vo.
The Indians within our limits are estimated at
about 500, coo souls. As we become more familiar
with the more remote tribes, it Is found that their
numbers have in general been greatly exaggerated.
The Indian Department costs about S2,6oO,Ooo
annually. The Secretary evidently concurs in the
opinion, so generally expressed by all who have
mpartslly examined the subject, that it is in the
aggrsssops Of unprincpled white men that all our
Indian wars take their origin. Under these circum-
stances he thinks the only policy that pro misses pro-
lection to the Indians s the system Of colonization
upon limited reservations-a policy which he repre-
sents as going on sery favorably.

The PRESIDENTS Message rM be found on the
third page Of this paper.

In the SENATE yesterday, after the reading of the
Message the usual motion to print that and other
documents was made.
Mr.. HALE On H. replied to and denied the
Presidents assumption that the men who voted
for Fremont were unfaithful to the Constitution,
that they sought to usurp the power of the Govern
meDt
Mr.. BROWN Miss was glad that the President
had sounded the alarm against sectionasm. Those
who voted for Fremont intended to abolish Slavery
everywhere. Mr. Brown made a tilt at Senators
Seward and Wilson.
Mr.. MASON (Va.) said Slavery agitation had
brought the people of the South TO believe that the
preservation of that institution rested with them
alone. IfFremont's friends had carried out their
views, it would have led to an immediate and final
dissolution of the Union.
Mr.. WILSON Mass had never asserted the
power Of Congress to abolish Slavery in the States
nor had he ever uttered the sentiment that those
with whom he acted intended TO assume such
power.
MIR. BROWN replied, the South was not called
upon TO bear everything Though unwilling to
break up the Union, their self-respect might compel
them to assert and maintain their right.
Mr. TRUMBULL (Ill) denied that the Free
mont party held the views charged upon them by
Mr.. Brown: they everywhere disavOw such senti-
meBts. The Presidents Message contained most
understandable assertion bearing upon this matter.
The President says the Missouri Compromise was
unconstitutional. The Supreme Court sustains the
power of Congress to legslate for the Territories
the power is broad and unqualified, and it is new
discovery to say that Congress does not possess it,
Mr.. T. defended the Republicans from Mr.. Masons
charge of hostility to the South, and showed that
all they had done or proposed to do was in strict
accordance with the Constitution. If they could
not elect whom they chose in Il lawful manner, then
tie Constitution carried within it the elements Of
its OVID destruction.
Without voting on the question to print the Sen
ate adjourned.
In The HOUSE the entire session was consumed
in debate upon the motion to reconsider the vote
declaring MIR. Whitfield not entitled to the seat
Delegate from Kansas. No vote was taken.

upheld his autht rity you do Gov. Gearys, no'h-
ing more would have BEEN required. Bot the
moment your own Governor evinced Q proper
adherence Of the Border-Ruffan fraud, you re-
moved him and placed mere tool Of the enslavers
of Kansas ID his place. Had you simply kept
hands off Kansas would not now be under the feet
of The Border Rufians. Your acts, aud not your
failure to act have made Kansas practically Slave
Territory and doomed her people to untold msecies.
Mr.. Pierce tells that people that their wrongs will
be redressed If they submit passi 'ely to the rulers
Inflicted on them by himself or his Border Ruff An
supporters. We do not trust him, but we hope the
settlers of Kansas will give his fair words trial.
1t is their best remaining chance. Let us, il the
Border Rusns WILL have entire quiet in the Terri
tory through the Session just opened, aud see how
far that Will go toward securing repeal of the OBJ
no1ious claws" enacted for the subjugatiOn of
Kansas by the Rufian Assemblsge at Shawnee
Mission. Let give Mr.. Pierce's friends the full
est opportunity to undo the heavy burdens they
have bound upon Kansas, and the least possible ex-
cuse for evading this duty. This experiment fairly
tried, We shall be ready to do what shall seem most
The Presidents review of our Foreign Re
la.ions lie condensed and in the main, satisfactory
We think our Government entitled to credit for its
efforts TO abolish the practice of capturing and
plupderipe merchant vessels in time Of war, by Ma
tioDal as well as private cruisers. The view taken
of this subject by Secretary Marcy is just and must
Ultimately prevail His resistance to the Mail ex-
actions of New. Granada is also well grounded; but
We are not so sure that the blame of the Panama
Riots ought all to be saddlei on the natives. We
rejoice to hear officially that new Treaty, supple
neDtary to the Clayton Bulwer, has been negotiated
at London and we feel confident that its provisions
must be such as we can heartily approve. We
think the President speaks uDkindy of Mexico, but
are glad that he medtates no hostile dem onstra,ion
against her.
The President says the Postmaster-G Generals
suggestion of an abolition of the FrankiDg Privilege
deserves the consideration Of Congress. We can
abe that good deal stronger and still heartily ap
proveit. Messieurs Members of Congress You have
doubled your pay; now pay your own postage or
leave it to be paid BY your correspondents. Don't
impose it on those who have not the honor Of your
acquaintance, for that is shabby and dishonest.
Pay your own postage, straghten your crooked
trails, ard reduce your Mileage into correspondence
with the immensely increased facility and CELEBRITY
of travel, and let the People see that you can be
just TO them as well as generous to yourselves. So
shall your names be honored, and your exit from
public life, unlike tina. of Pierce, be signazed BY
the respectful regard Of your eountymen.
