in the other day after some fxins, and
among the rest, called for a gallon of

into Smiths vessel until about pint
was left, as before, in the measure,

again.

"a gallon is it, sur! An sure, and

piled Mick.

Mick of attempting to cheat him.

Governor walker.

As final act of outrage to his infa-
nous conduct in Kansas Territory, Gov.
Walker attempted oPersuade his soldiers
to vote at the late election, in direct and
palpablo violation of the laws Of the Uni
ted States and the Organic Act of the
Territory. The act reads thus:
provided further, that no officer, sol
der, seaman, or marine, or other person
in the army or navy of the United States,
or. attached to the troops in the service of
the United States, shall be allowed to vote
or hold office in said Territory, by reason
of being on service therein"
There was time in the history OF our
country when such a daring, disgracoful
act, on the part of a government official,
would have produced unbounded indig-
nation in all parties, and the people as
one man would condemn the decd, spurn
the perpetrator as a designing rebel, and
cast him from his seat of power. But
now = so degraded has our government
become, so far astray from the former
standard of political purity = so guilty
have those become who should rise up to
hurl the doughface, Walker, the tool of
the slave power, the man that shrinks not
from any deed when shielded by his off
cial garb, into deserved disgrace and p9-
litical oblivion,- that the ruling party in
this land of freedom, with the Chief Ex-
eeutive at their head, will approve of such
proceedings, violating all law and princi-
pie, and seeking to establish over that Ter
ritory the curse of slavery. And yet, we
should have expected this, for it is an act
in keeping with those Ct James Buchanan
in recognizing the authority of a lcgisla-
tive body elected by band of desperadoes
from a neighboring State, and in sending
a military force and Governor to enforce
its acts, and to compel an outraged and
lnsulted people to submit to its laws.
We have good reason to believe that
Gov. Walker acted according to instruc
lions from those who sent him there
That he has acted in accordance with the
policy of the democratic party, both North
and South, and that he has followed out
their dominant idea, is too obvious TO ali
NIT of doubt.

Political EfNrEoSEE.

We doubt if there be much political
honesty oxtant, especially among leading
politicians. And why? Why is it that
men will not keep truth and justice on
their side when working for the success
of political principles, as well as when
battling for any other important princi-
pie? Why is it that mon will stoop to
everything despicable and personal? why
abuse one another and disgrace them
selves to promote their views and elect
their men! Read the political journals
of the present day - read the political
sheets published i'll Wisconsin during tho
canvass just passed, and it is enough to
disgust every honest man with politics.
A certain degree Of candor may have been
preserved, and yet the truth has been
wofully stretched in order to deceive the
uniformed so as to obtain their support.
We are commanded not to DO evil that
good may come. Yet men will lay aside
oil their dignity, their regard for truth,
their respect for themselves, the courtesy
due their opponents, and will raise to the
highest standard of excellence their party
men, when they are known to be villains
They will accuse one another of every
conceivable meanness, and disgust all up
right men with their actions, and yet glo-
ry in their deeds and boast of their Ill
gained victories.

yersation. Every man has time, if he is
careful to improve it,as well as he might,
he can reap ten-fold reward. Let me-
chanics make use of the hours at their
disposal, if they want to obtain proper
influence in society. They can, if they
please, hold in their hands the destiuies
of our Republic; they are numerous, re-
spectible and powerful; and they have
only to be educated half as well as other

Great Fire at Red Wing.

We learn from the Red Wing Repu6-
lican, of tho 23d ult., that disastrous
fire broke outin that village, in which con
siderable property was consumed. Inc
fire was discovered in building occupied
as . barn by the Teepetonka Hotel, and
soon spread with such fury that the entire
block Of stores adjoining were consumed,
and q building in the rear of the barn al
so, before the flames were arrested. The
damage done can only be estimated, but
cannot be, less than $4,000, partially in
sured. The stores were occupied by P.
Mcserole, hardware merchant, whose
stock was mostly saved though damaged,
J. NJ. Sylvester and H. P. Lowater, jew
cllers, Booksellers and Stationers, whose
entire stock was saved with slight dam
acre, and S. B. Foot, clothing house loss is
trifng. The offices above were occupied
by Charles Mcclure, Lawyer, DR.. c. Il.
Connolly, and E. A. Frycllund, Barker,
who sustained but little loss. The Mason
ic Hall was also destroyed, but was we'll
cleared. The principal lost is the build
ings. which were among TIE finest in the
city, and in good business locality.

have n slight downward tendency but call
loans are still difficult to make. The EX-

learn that very large quantities of goods
are being taken out of bond for cxporta-
ton. Immense quantities which have
been laying in the United States Ware
houses, are now being withdrawn, and
re-shipped for Europe and the countries
of their production. We understand this
department Of the Custom House is unu-
sually busy, and we are glad Of it. 1t is
to be hoped that the intcrminable consign
ment of all the half-made-up hardware,

and disgusting nonsense of the English
factories will stay at home for few years
