HoN. c. C.. WAsHBuRNE.-This faithful
full representative of the interests Of the
Moth West, and one of the true exponents
Of her political principles in the councils Of

COOPER & McNfILIAN.-This is new Law
Firm in St. Paul, whose card will be found
in its proper place in the Minnesotian. The
gentlemen who compose it are Hon. d. Coop
er and 8. J. R. McNillan--the latter gentle
man late of Saltwater. They are both well
known to the people Of Minnesota, and bus
iness entrusted to them will not be likely to
suffer for want of attention or legal ability.
LANE AND DoUGLAs.-The difficulty be-
tween Gen. Lane and Senator Douglas which
set them to thinking about duel, sprung
up in this wise: A memorial of the Sena-
tors and Representatives Of the Provisional
Government of Kansas having been present
ed to the Senate by Mr.. Cass; in the course
Of the debate which followed, it was charg-
ed by Douglas that the document was for
gerry, and that Gen. Lane, Kansas Senator,
was the forger. Other personalities were
used, and hence the belligerent demonstrar
ton.

"AMENDE TO ST. PAuL."-Undcr this
head the Chicago Democratic Press does the
"fair thing" towards our City, and says its
assertion that "St. Paul was built by gas "
was only slip of the scissors. The Editor,
in response to our request to take back the
charge says:
Dear sir, and all others who feel aggrieved,
we haze taken it back. We have the great
est possible regard for Minnesota, as our
columns for years will attest, and we have
on various occasions s'set up" St. Paul as
one of the most substantial as we'll as 60
ahead cities of the North West, but not
higher than she deserved. We trust you
are all satisfied, gentlemen. We have used
the scissors more cautiously ever since that
little fauz pas.
All right, gentismsn. Come up and see
as this summer?
Ice IN THE ST.. LAWRENCE Private
letters from Montreal of late date state that

open before the I'd or Sd of May. Montreal
is about the latitude of st. Paul.
