THE NEWS.

The mail Of Saturday evening brought us
considerable news. Beside the election of
Banks, we find that Dallas has accepted the
mission TO England--that there are S24, ,OSl 90
in the U. S. Treasury--that in the U. S. SEN
ate, Nicholson, of the Union, has been elect
ed Printer-that the Senate has referred the
appointment of Dallas as Minister to England,
to the Committee on Foreign Relations-that
a Know Nothing Convention had been held at
Boston and that resolutions recommending
Millard Fillmore to the Presidency, were laid
on the table-that another difficulty had occur
red at Kansas two Missourians were shot and
two Free State men wounded. The difficulty
arose from an attack made on the ballot boxes
by mob from Missouri. Two men are in tie
hands of the mob who threaten to hang them.
The military are moving to the post Of danger,
and the Free State men were gathering from
various parts ofthe Territory. A later dispatch
says that nothing further Of a serious nature had
transpired.

OUR COUNTY MATTERS AGAIN.

We find that our article on the financial con-
d:tion Of the county, meets with general appro-
baton. The people have been imposed upon
so long that they are glad some efforts are being
made to remove the evil In reviewing the
matter, the question arises" Can't the Court
and Jury Expenses" be reduced! Cant the
business be transacted in one half ofthe time that
is now given TO t?" We ask the reader to foot
up the 6gures-S1 ,2l7 20 for Court and Ju-
nv Expenses Are the Inhabitants of Ram
sey county so bad that it requires 81 PIT % to
keep them straight! Or is this a needless ex-
penditure Of money! Cannot the Judge ia
cilitate the business and thereby reduce the
expensesa 1t strikes up that from $500 to
500 can be saved in this department.
And then again, look at the amount paid Tor
/" Road Purposes "-S1 ,432 06! Is not this
too large an amount in view Of the work per-
formedl We ask our readers to investigate
this matter-see where the evil is, and then ap-
ply the remedy.

MONDAY, FEB. IL, 1856.
ELECTION OF BANKS.

We think we can give no more cheering
news this morning, to large majority Of the
people of Minnesota, than the election Of N.
P. Banks as Speaker Of the U. s. House Of
Representatives. 1t is rendered doubly inter-
esting, from the fact, that after protracted
struggle of eight weeks, the party Of Freedom
has triumphed over the combined efforts Of
doughface democracy and Know Nothingism.
Never, in the history of this country has the
excitement been so intense, and never before
has the north fully mainland her rights. All
honor to those gallant men who stood SO firmly
by their favorite candidate, and the eternal
Principles of Right.

The Future State of Minnesota.

We publish to-day the joint resolutions of Mr..
Balcombe, introduced into the Council on Fri
day last, Recommending the holding of Ter
rtorial Convention to frame Constitution for
the future State of Minnesota" We are not
among those who are anxious that Minnesota
should take her place among the gala KY Of
States already in the Union, for there are vari-
GUS considerations which weigh strongly against
such movement Among these, we may in
stance the fact, that at present the U. S. Gov
ernment pays for laying out most of our roads,
the expenses Of our Legislature, and the ex.
penses of the Judiciary. Should we become
State this burden would fall ON the people. 1t
is true, the idea of State is somewhat pleas
ing, but shall we lay aside more important con-
siderations for this? While, therefore, we are
not in favor of the immediate formation of
State, for the few among other reasons already
assigned, still we can see no harm in bringing
the matter before the people, so that, when the
time comes TO act, they can act understanding
ly. The resolutions Of Mr. Bacombe prop,-
Sc that Convention shall he held ON tie first
Monday in juno, 1857, to form Constitution,
which Constitution shall be submitted to the
people at the Fall election. The only obec-
ton to the resolutions is the shortness of time
for definite action. We think that 1860 would
be soon enough, but, If it is the desire Of the
people to push the matter to focus, why they
arc the ones to foot the bills, not us, although
we should regret hasty and inconsiderate at
Minnesota weekly times. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1854-1859, 1856-02-16

MCLEOD AGAIN FINED.-McLeod was
again brought before Justice Simonds yester-
day morning. charged with assault and battery
on Heard, by throwing water into his face.
The jury that was granted the defendant, re-
turned verdict OF guilty-and the justice fined
him sl5 and costs. Why did he not fine him
$50?

Mr.. Balcombe's Joint Resolution recons
mending the holding of a Territorial Conven-
ton to frame Constitution for the future State
of Minnesota" makes the fact prominen, that
such Constitution shall be submitted to the
people for their adoption rejection at the gen.
eral election for members of the Legislature in
1857" AS matter cf course, if the people
vote against it, there will be DO action taken
if for it, why the majority should govern, and
Congress will be asked to admit us as State.
1t rests with the People, not with politicians, to
saw whether Minnesota shall or shall not be a
