Our community was thrown into state
of great excitement yesterday morning by
the report of murder having been commit
ted sometime during the preceding evening"
1t appears that a German by the name OF
Schroeder, who kept small tailor shop on
ST. Anthony street near the Presbyterian
Church, was found dead in his shop about
eight o'clock yesterday morning, with hor-
rid fracture in the skull just over the left ear,
as if done with Ratchet, or the corner OF
an axe. He was lying upon the floor, where
he had evidently fallen from his working Ia
BILE, with his thimble on and silk in his fin
gers, and an unfinished vest near, inducing
the belief that he had been struck the fatal
blow while in the attitude of working upon
his bench.
The deceased was single man, about 80
years of age, of sober and industrious hab-
its, and had lived in the city since the first
of September last. As yet there is no clue
to the perpetrator of the deed, or the motive
which impelled it, though the belief is prev
alent that it was robbery, as the deceased
was known to have large amount of money
in his possession, and but little was found
about his person. A large silver watch which
usually hung up in his shop is missing. He
was last seen alive at his boarding house be-
tween six and seven in the evening.
A Coroner's inquest was held at the Court
House yesterday, at which the above facts
were elected. A German was arrested in
the morning on suspicion of having commit
ted the deed, but the evidence against him
was trivial. The jury adjourned to meet
again this morning for further investigation

Serious Accident on the Harlem Rail
Road.

New YORK, Dec. 90.
The Albany EXPIRE IS train which left this
city on Saturday at 4 p. NJ, met with seri-
Gus accident near Towner's station, about so
miles from this city. The train was COM
posed of locomotive, tender, baggage car, and
three passenger cars under the charge Of Mr.
Hill, a conductor,
A broken rail which had been fractured by
the frost on the passage of a previous train,
was the cause of the accident.
There were at the time about one hundred
and Twenty-Five passengers on board. The
scene for time was one Of the widest con-
fusion, the air being rent with the cries and
groans Of the injured. Conductor Hill, al
though considerably injured, having sustain
ed several Commissions on his left side, arm and
back, broke through one Of the windows and
dispatched signal lights on the road about a
mic distant from each end of the train in
order to prevent the occurrence Of further
accidents.
The male passengers in the first car hay
ing escaped uninjured, forthwith set about
relieving those in the other cars, and after
considerable delay all were got out, when it
was found that several had received serious
if not fatal injuries. A lady about 81 or so
years of age had her arm badly fractured,
besides being otherwise injured. A gentle
man about 40 years of age was found to be
insensible and badly cut and bruised. The
injuries sustained by these two passengers
are of such nature that their recovery Is
very doubtful.
Two gentleman were taken from the wreck
each with broken leg. Four men were
next taken out suffering severely from contu-
sions about the head and body.
The remaining passengers in the car turn
ed upside down, were more or less injured
about the head and body. Cushions were
taken from thecars and beds made, on which
the injured were placed and made as COM
Portable as possible. The uninured passen-
gers were unremitting in their attentions to
their less fortunate neghbors.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 5.
The Ohio Legislature convened an adjourn
ed session to-day. .
Hon. Lester Cuyler, was elected President
pro tenn. of the Senate.
Both branches after reading the Governors
message adjourned till Thursday to make
way for the grand festival tomorrow night
in honor of the opening of the new State
House.
The message is mainly devoted to State
affairs. 1t recommends the organization of
board of Railroad Commissioners, and a
Geological survey. 1t shows that the ex-
penses of the fiscal year ending November
last, were less by over $4,000 than the
year before. 1t recommends the energetic
prosecution of the public works, revision Of
the Militia Laws, and laws relating to mar
ried women. The Governor thinks Ohio
should give expression to its wishes and de.
mand retrenchment and reform in the ad.
ministration of the National Government
Within the last two months several applica-
tons for Ohio emigrants to Kansas, for aid
and protection had been received. A letter
had been addressed to Gov. Geary on theil
behalf.
Ohio is entitled to demand for her citizens
emigrating to the Territories free ingress and
epress by the ordinary routes, and complete
protection from invasion, usurpation and law
less violence. as

Territorial Printer.

It will be seen that the two Houses IN
joint convention yesterday, after the Cover
nor's Message was delivered, proceeded TO
elect Territorial Printer" which under
the present law merely carries with the Of
flee the printing of the bound volume OF
session laws. Owens & Moore, of the Min

Der who belongs to the Republican party In
either branch, and were only defeated by
strict party vote on the other side. We're
turn our sincere thanks to our friends Tor
this decided manifestation of their conf
dence in our journal. They have done tor
us all that we had any reason to expect.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Z.
SENATE.-Mr. Weller reported bill to
increase the pay of officers in the army, and
gave notice that he should call it up another
day.
The consideration of the Iowa election case
was resumed.
A motion to print extra copies of the Pres
ident's Message, Mr.. Barclay said the only
effect Of that document would be to increase,
if that were possible, the contempt that now
exists in the country against its author. He
would not endorse or appear to sanction its
misrepresentation by sending it to the public
printer.
Mr.. Bayard argued against the right of Mr..
Harlan to seat. When, he said, two in
tegral bodies are to perform an act, both must
be present at the time, or it cannot be con-
stitutionally done. In the present case it is
admitted that the Senate of Iowa, as body
did not participate in the election, nor did q
quorum of that body vote on that occasion,
therefore Mr.. Harlan was voted for by only
one branch of the Legislature.
Mr.. Foster, replying, said that after the
Convention was duly organized by the con-
currence of the two branches of the Legisla-
ture, it remained in session and could only
be dissolved by the vote of the majority OF
the Convention, or by the withdrawal of
such number of members as would leave
less than quorum present. The members
ceased to act in the capacity of Senators and
Representatives, but were to be counted nu-
merically. Mr.. Harlan having received ma
jority of all the members of the Convention.
was thereby duly elected. If the sixteen
Senators who absented themselves had all
been present, and voted against Mr.. Harlan,
he would still have been elected. How could,
ohen, their absence prevent his election?
Mr.. Seward obtained the floor.
The President submitted a letter from Mr..
Hamlin, resigning his seat as Senator from
Maine. 81 --..I

"Ihere is much competition for precedence be-

THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. ls, 1857.
The Legislature..-The Governors
Mogsage.

The two Houses advanced so far in bust
ness yesterday as to meet in joint conven-
ton and receive the Governors Message.
We are inclined to think the majority in the
Council found their " staving off" proceed
ing rather q losing game.
We lay before our leaders this morning
the able Message of Gov. German. We
have no room at this moment for comment
upon this document but we must say it is
q state paper which fully meets our views o.
what Message should be in all the essen
tial particulars.
The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1857-01-17

is, that the Congress of the United States
will ever again make appropriations for our
support.
l consider myself authorized in saying that
there is great reluctance on the part of the
present Congress to grant us much further
aid as Territorial government, because we
have larger population and more internal
resources for self-support than any former
Territory at the time of its application for ad-
mission as State, and because it is expected
of every Territory to ask admission when its
population is sufficient to entitle it, if State
to one Representative in Congress. If ad-
mitted into the Union this day, we would be
entitled, according to the present ratio OF
Congressional representation, to at least two
| Rep; esentatives, and before another year
eiapses, (Which must necessarily happen be-
fore Congress Will again conyene,) will most
likely have population enough for three.
The ratio of Congressional representation
is now fixed at about ninety-three thousand.
Assuming our population at present to be one
hundred and eighty thousand, if the increase
is in the same ratio for the ensuing year as
tor last, it will then reach three hundred
thousand souls, and no one will pretend that
the coming year promises less than the past
1t is therefore no longer to be disguised
that movement for State government is
forced upon us by public opinion abroad, and
candor compels the admission that seif-re.
spect, and, perhaps, proper sense of propri.
lety, bid us to assume State sovereignty at as
early day as the nature of our government
will allow.
1t is usually charged that scheming politi
clans desire to hurry on the organization o.
State government for their own aeprand.
