From the Philadelphia Observer.
The Rev. Mr.. Arthur Of London, and the Rev.
Mr.. Scott Of Dublin, received y very cordial vel
come to our city, on Friday evening of last week.
These distinguished clergymen, whose visit is q
mission OF benevolence for Ireland, were the
guests OF Mr.. Baldwin. ESQ.,, at whose residence
. large company Of clergymen, Of laymen, Of the
principal evangelical churches Of our city, was
assembled BY previous invitation, to meet the
hobored brethren. The Christian courtesies and
amenities which marked the interview between
these Christian gentlemen Of six or eight differ
ent denominations, were such - divine charity
might approve-grateful expressions Of the unity
OF spirit in the Christian Church. After aa hour
spent in unrsstrained interchange Of thought, du.
ring which our Host introduced iis friends to his
distinguished guests, the Rev. Mr.. jenkins gave
notice OF religious service appropriate to the oe-
casion. The Rev. DR.. Brainerd gave out hymn.
which was sung BY the company, the Rev. Mr..
Buel, Baptist missionary Of Athens, Greece,
read . select portien Of Scripture, when the Rev.
Mr. Tyng, Of the Episcopal Church, addressed
Messrs. Arthur and Scott, in very courteea, and
most appropriate speech, welcoming them to our
city. The company were then addressed BY the
Rev. Messrs Arthur and Scott, reciprocatine the
fratesnal spirit with which they have been receiv.
cd, and giving much informssion respecting the
great work now in progress IN Ireland. At the
close OF their speeches, the company were invited

THE NEWS.

BY the arrival of the mail last evening, we re-
ceived Dubuque Republican Of the 14th. No
Speaker yet, but there were fair Indicators that
Banks will be elected. A dispatch from wash
ington of the 18th states that the plurality rule
will be adopted, and that quite number Of
Democrats are in favor Of giving the Republicans
the Organization Of the House," From this we
infer the Democrats are giving way. Banks, be-
yond doubt, will be the man. ~,
Gov. Barstow, of Wisconsin, has delivered bis
Message. He opposes the Prohibitory law and
asks for on investigation of conduct of the State
officers. In the House Mr.. Mills said he did not,
and should not recognize Barstow a. Gov. Bash
ford has commenced proceedings in the Supreme
Court to contest the election.
The Ohio Legislature had met, and all the Of
6cers Of the House are Republicans.

I 81 Ine Currency-On the wrong TRACK. Hfits ~f
The Free Press Of this city is in an awful
excitement over the Currency question. The
editor attempted to ride two horses at the same
time, but one Of them threw him and he
now lies fiat upon his back! He talks about
epithets as though he were at home, and after
wading through over "a column of contradic-
tions, finally admits the correctness of our po.
sition, just as we supposed he would be obliged
to do. Why, neighbor the whole community is
laughing right heartily because you have made
such BOBBY Of yourself! For instance, you
profess ignorance as to where the extract came
from which we published relative TO bills Of
credit, and even insinuate that it is incorrectly
made. Turn, Mr.. Ignoramus, to page l53 Of
the " Science Of Government, by Andrew w.
Young" and then turn to the looking glass and
see how mean you look. But it would be inn

A Bill has been introduced restoring the law
of Imprisonment for debt in Minnesota, on the
petition, we are told, Of Iacyss 8, at the solicit;
alton of St. Paul LaW firm. As scoundrels
never get in Jail for debt. il is calculated to
operate alone on honest poverty. -

However much we may differ with our
neighbor Of the Free Press on the Currency
question, we heartily concur with him in the

against the renewal Of the old law. We are

We ask the members of the Legislature TO
consider well before they give their votes to ex-
tend the Charter Of the Minnesota and North
western Railroad Company. Look well, gen.
tlemen, before you leap, or you may leap into
the jaws of lion. Suppose the company get
the extension of time, and lose the land, as
they most assuredly will, by the dismissal of
the suit from the United Supreme Court what
then! will the road be built s-how Is not
this game on foot simply to extricate those now
deeply inyolveds Will it not initiate against
the interests Of the Territory by throwing cold
water on roads now under ways Let us make
no false move let US tread cautiously and ex-
anime the ground carefully before we place
ourselves in the hands Of spectators and land
sharks. There is no question in our mind but
the Territory has lost the grant Of lands dona-
ted to us by Congress, and this, too, in ccnse.
quence of the rascality Of unprirsipied men
The query now arises, what Is lest to be done
Shall we memoralize Congress for a new grant
pass new chatter, or diddle along for year:
without a railroad Gentlemen who have the
interests Of Minnesota at heart, should pause
and weigh this subject well before acting. 80
