GY The street in front of the Winslow House
is completely submerged with water, and it is
hardly possible for pedestrians to travel in that
direction. There are two good drains in this vi
cinity to carry off the water, but they have been
allowed to choke up. The whole difficulty arises
from the neglect of those who have this matter
in charge, and it is shameful that the nuisance
should be permitted any longer.

Another Democratic Plank

The following s'act' is another offspring of
Squatter Sovereignty, that sophism begotten by
Cass, fathered by Douglas, nursed by Pierce and
adopted by Buchanan. This bill passed both
houses of the bogus Kansas Legislature. Read
it.
An ACT to Punish Rebellion.
Be it snacted by the Governor and Legislative
assembly Of Kansas.
SECTION l. If two or more persons shall COM
bine, by force, to usurp the government of this
Territory, or to overturn the same, to interfere
forcbly with the administration of the govern
ment, or any department thereof, evidenced by
forcble attempts within the Territory to accom-
plish such purpose, the person so offending shall
be deemed guilty of Rebellion. and shall suffer
death. or confinement and hard labor.
SECT. If twelve or more persons shall con.
spire to levy war against any part OF the people
of tbs Territory, they shall be deemed guilty of
Rebellion, and on conviction, SHALL suffer death,
or confinement and hard labor.
SECT. 3. If two or more persons shall con-
spire to remove forcibly out Of this Territory, or
from their habitations, any portion of the people
and assembling to accomplish such purpose, shall
be deemed guilty of Rebellion, and punished as
in the last section specified.
SECT. 4. Confinement and hard labor as provi-
ded for in this act shall not exceed toenty years.
This act to take effect and be in force from and
after its passage.
During the debate on this bill. the Rev. Martin
White made speech, in which he admitted that
he killed Frederick Brown. He said that he was
with the advanced guard of the army that de-
stroyed Ossawatsmie last fall. They met Fred
erick Brown on the road. White ordered Brown
to halt, which the latter did not do, when he,
White, "let him have it, and he whirled over.''
This was received in the Legislature with tre-
mendous applause. The Rev. White complained
bitterly because "Abolition presses called the
killing of Brown murder. He declared that he
"was Democrat in religion and politics."
Mr.. O'Driscoll made another religious speech,
concluding
eGod thundered from Sinai's Mount that ne
groes should be slavesi Good morals declare it
right Good science declares it right Good
society declares it right And when our interest
agrees with these, the argument is unanswerable.

TThe St. Louis Democrat is mistaken in
supposing that the TINES believes the Capital Re-
moval Bill which was signed by the Governor, is
binding. Its belief is just opposite to this. The
whole is bogus affair, and has no more binding
force than puff of wind.

Problem for eur City Fathers,

If for every $50 which the city Of st. Paul re.
ceves for its legal sanction to destroy the bodies
and minds of men, blast ell the social and do.
mestic virtues of humanity, and entail bankrupt.
ey upon her population, it costs the people of the
county and city one thousand per oent.-how long
will it take to dsplete our treasury, saddle ..
with onerous debts, and stamp the future with ru.
in? Can the city of st. Psul--esa the county
of Ramsey afford to pay one thousand per cent
for the loan of $50 per annum guaranteeing
its protection on the licence Of some men to fill
the almshouses and prisons with occupants.

the st. Paul TINES pays deserved compliment
to Hon. Delsno I. Smith, of Henuepin county.
who opposed the removal fraud attempted by our
Legislature. "Leave the removal of the Capital
to the people," says Mr.. Smith, Sand let this ac.
tion be Immediately after the formation Of State
Constitution" Right! The people want no self
constituted teachers to tell them when and where
the Capital shall be removed. Its uucalled-f for
agitation at the instance of few interested par.
ties, consumed nearly the entire session, and pre-
vented the passage of many bills of vital .impor-
tance to the people at large. If the next Legis-
laturs gather a moral from the blundering stu.
pidity Of the one just adjourned, it will not have
been entirely without its use.--Lakf Guy Tdb-

For the st. Paul Daily Times
Shun the Recks.

DR.. Franklin made to young man, once, 'no
following offer :-ssGo to business diligently, and
be industrious waste no idle moments; DO very
economical in all things discard all pride; be
faithful in your duty to God, by regular anu
hearty pray or morning and night; attend church
and meeting regularly every Sunday, and do unto
all men as you would they should do unto YOU
If you are too needy in your circumstances to
give to the poor, do whatever else is in your pow
or for them cheerfully; but if you can, always
help the worthy poor and unfortunate. Pursue
this course diligently and sincerely for seven
years, and if you are not happy, comfortable and
independent in your circumstances, come 10 me
and will pay your debts"
/ doubt not, Mr.. Editor, but The secret heart OF
every young man who reads the above, will ap'
prove it, and yet it is very old-fashioned. we
hear great deal about this fast country and
fast age but fast as they both are, it is imposs-
BILE for our people to run away from good old
fashioned wisdom, and yet be really successful
and happy. There are many new things discov-
cred and many good things, but l have never
read any maxims Of morality superior to those
in the book of Proverbs. We have some things
that would make Solomon open his eyes In
amazement if he could see them. He never saw
a locomotive or sent a telegraphic dispatch, but
he knew as we'll how young man should behave
himself as any man since his day.
If Solomon were to come among US again, and
take stroll around st. Paul, visit all the saloons
and peep into the gambling houses, and see third
rate players stalking their money on game
against professional gamblers, he would be very
likely to call them fools, and by so doing he
would not lose his reputation for wisdom. lie
must be u fool who would deliberately take such
course as will squander the fruits of his honest
labor, corrupt his morals, make him appear un-
worthy of the respect of community, and ruin his
prospects.
Suppose young man to have come to St. Paul
some time since; he had means or credit enough
to start him in some respectable business; his
prospects were good and bright future opened
before him !; but he chose for his companions men
who had already started on the road to ruin. lie
was tempted to drink of the maddening bowl ;
next to leave off attending church on the Sabbath,
and to withdraw from the society of the good and
virtuous. Next, under the influence of liquor, to
stake something on the cards. He loses heavily ;
his place of business is locked up by his creditors
The man is broken, ruined, disgraced, crushed in
spirits and lashed by conscience. The poor fell
low drinks deeper to drown his troubles. He is
ruined man! But what has ruined him? His
own folly! The man that tempted him to drink,
and the one that aeeced him in gamblers hell,
with one voice would pronounce him fool.
Now, let me ask, would this man have come to
such an end by following the advice have given
in previous article, by following the direction
of DR.. Franklin quoted at the head of this arti-
