The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1857-10-31

The PIONEER urges that there are but few
of the laboring class who will not be well pro-
vided for during the coming winter 1t puts
a bright face on the NATTER and claims that
there will be very few appeals from the really
destitute for any assistance.
We hope this is really SO, and know no rea-
son why it should not. The wages of the
class referred to are of the best description
their living has not cost them much during the
season, and now is cheaper than ever. With
anything like common foresight, they could
have all laid up enough to subsist, in their
style, comfortably, all winter. Whether this
is SO or not, generally, We can't say, because
there are always improvident and spendthrift
people who can't accumulate anything ahead.
But we should not become so convinced of
everybody's ability as to shut our eyes and
ears to the demands of Charity. That there
qcM be restitution, that some people wM SUI
fer, aye suffer much before even making an
appeal to the benevolent is beyond dispute.

IMPEACHMENT OF THE STATE TREAUR-
ER.-The grounds of impeachment in the
case of Henry Bates, late State Treasurer,
are. the intrusting Of the July 1856 inter-
est to Palmer, Cook & Co without taking a
bond, as required by law; purchasing and
selling State Controllers warrants; conni-
wing at and participating in the substitution
of Controllers warrants for cash, paid into
the Treasury by County Treasurers paying
out the July (1857) interest to E A. Rowe
without bond, as required by law, and
without Controllers warrant drawn there
for; permitting E. A. Rowe and other per-
sons unknown, 20 use the money of the

VANDERBILT AND THE ACCESSORY TRAN
SIT CoMPANY--It appears, says the New
York Herald, that the Nicaragua Transit
Company is fast approaching its final dlsso-
luton, and that Commodore Vanderbilt has
been vanquished at last, the Supreme Court
having, on the 9th instant, made an order
for receiver of the property and effects OF
the Company, and appointed Judge Crowles
as the receiver, who will act once. We are
informed that many of the stockholders make
heavy charges. and entertain gloomy sus-
pcons rs to the integrity of Vanderbilts
claims against the Company, AMI are deter
mined 10 oppose tneir payment until tney
shall have been found, after riged exami-
nation, to be just; and it is said that some
of the stockholders feel confident that they
will be able to make it apparent that the
moneys alleged to have been advanced by
him belonged to the Company, and of which
he was the custodian, having been previous
ly received by him at different times and
from different persons, on account of the

Col. Rowe IN TROUBLE AGAVN.--We
learn from the Bee, that the Grand Jury of
Sacramento subpenied Col. E. A. Rowe os

pounded to him the same interrogatorles that
he refused to answer before the District
Court. On his refusing to anwer, the Jury
informed Judge Heard, who decided that
the questions were pertinent and proper,
and on his again refusing to as"er' he was

Down on California.

We published an extract from the ~ /.
Herald on Wednesday, in which that paper
took occasion to beslobber with adulation
the merchants Of San Francisco, and give
the "poor commoners and r-iners, and tho
fishermen. and the Migrants" 'parncular
jessie" In penning that article the writer
must have had in view only the action OF
the meeting held by the merchants OF San
Francisco, at which they resolved to oppose
the repudiation of the States Indebtedness.
In another article, the Herald appears to be
very much Disguised with California, and
says the Military" road must proceed TO
the mouth of the Columbia river, the only
great river of the Pacific. with the hnsst
harbor in the world. notwithstanding the
statements which il is alleged have been de-
siguedly made to the contrary In giving
this opinion, the editor of the Herald must
have had in view the proposition maze

Congressional Debate.

We have read with some interest the de-
bate in the lower House Of Congress on the
resolution offered by Mr.. Kelsey for the ap-
pUintment Of committee TO investigate the
charge made by the New York Times, that
Members had entered into corrupt combi-
nation for the purpose of preventing the
passage Of certain measures, and securing
the adoption of others. The charges were
based on a letter from Washington to the
New York Times. After the introduction of
the question into the House, the charges
were corroborated By Member, Mr.. Payne,
who stated that distinct proposition had
been made to him in connection with the
Minnesota Land Bill, and that $4,000 had
been offered in consideration of vote for
that measure. Then followed debate. in
which some Of the Members showed their
great disdain for newspapers, those "vile
compounds of rags, lampblack and OIL"
which we presume they would have left un-
expressed before feeling secure in their
seats. Mr.. Marshall, of Kentucky, had de-
termned to vote against the resolution. He
did want not to bring the N. Y. papers into
respectablity by noticing them. He con-
sdered them too contemplate to be thus
honored. But member of their own dig
nifed intelligent and honorable body had
corr oborated the statement of the Times,
and the position of affairs was totally differ
ent. He should favor the investigation -
Mr.. Marshal's dignity and intelligence
would render the body of which he is a
member perfectly incorruptible and I'M
assailable, unless self convicted. Mr.. Camp
bell, of Ohio, agreed with Mr.. Marshall, and
offered an amendment to the preamble
stated that said article is not wanting in
truth" which was adopted by reclamation.
Several members favored the investigation
on the strength of the charges made by
the Times alone, but consented to the
amendment, we presume, as moliher to
the towering dignity of the great Kentucky
Know Nothing. We have as little regard
for the contemplate troupe of Washington
letter writer's as any member of Congress,
but their false statements should not be
made the occasion for members to exhibit
their spleen generally fer manufactured
rags, and lampblack, and OIL" There is not
one of them who has not been pleased at
favorable notice, and but few who have not
felt the thrust of an editors pen. But of
feelings in their present dighhGd p8sftl0f2.'

The Yreka UnioiExtra, contains the par

by the Indians on Pitt River. furnished
them by Mr.. G. Whitney. MIR. W. in COM
pany with Mr.. N. D. Fowler. started fro~
Yreka on Sunday, an. Goth, for the Ferry
on Pitt River, and N arriving at that point
found the house cd boat destroyed, and
nothing in the shpe CT provisions. They
built raft of fere rails and crossed the
river, and proceed down TO the lower. In
dams to the humble of fifteen appeared, des-
troyed the raft, all followed. They were
frequently compelh to turn upon the In
dians, and threaten them to keep them at
Bay. On arrivnglt the lower ferry they
fourd everything detroy ed-even the pota-
toes which were buried, had been carried
away. They had ben compelled, owing to
the depth of snow and consequent hard
travelling, to kill Dd make n meal off their
dog, before arriving at the upper Ferry,
and they now found themselves without
food, two days tract from the balance OF
their dog meat, andsurrounded by Indians.
A friendly Indian THO had formerly worked
for Mr.. Lockhart al the Ferry, told them
the Hat Greek Indhns had come into the
Valley, and would kill them if they re-
manned there. An Indian came down the
river in a canoe, when they wrested the
paddle from him, and crossed the river
They made their WY to McCloud River and
despatched the balance of their dog meat, on
Monday evening They then made their
way without provisions Of any kind, to the
head of Scott Valley which they reached on
Thursday, at two z. NJ.
Mr.. Whitney says he thinks from the ap-
pearance of things about these ferries. that
Lockhart and his company must have been
killed shortly after he left there; which was
ON Christmas. There are numerous well
beaten trails divergng in all directions from
the different scenes of murder. Says that
when he left, on Christmas, there were five
white men and one Oregon Indian. named
Paches, living at the Two lerrles' thelr
names are H. A. Lockhart, z. r Rogers,
Boles, German they called John, and
Daniel Bryant. These are no doubt killed,
as there was not possibility of their escape,
owing to the depth of snow; and what rem
ders it very probable, is, that clothing and
property of the company known to Whitney
and Fowler, were seen by them in the pos
session of the Indians. Whitney said he had
