seven feet. A rise of three feet generally
takes away the ice. so it 10 rather singular

some variety, although we begin 10 long for
the change from mud to something else
say honest dust Friday last the surface Of
the prominent streets were q thin batter,
not much thicker than water, but decidedly
more defling to garments A slight freeze
that night made this mud thick and sticky
last Saturday. That teams did not stall IN
the street, is simply owing to the fact that
the thaw mas not yet reached that lower
depth yet to be found.

Meeting Of the Lawyers.

According to previous notice the mem
hsr. Of the Scott county Bar met last Sat
urday afternoon at the Court House, for the
purpose Of considering the sobjec. Of Dis
trist Judge, and If deemed advisable. to rec
ommspd proper person to 6ll the Office :
The meeting was called to order by elect
ing Jno. p. Cook. Esq. Chairman, and /
Fsirba nike. Esq !, Secretary. For time the
seriousness Of business, in anticipation
more thsn 10 reality preserved due decorum
and gravity among the members Of the Scot
County Bar, but this did not last long. We
have not time at this late hour TO give off
sial proceedings. There was lots Of fun
some practical jokes.a good deal Of spicy
repartee. and some rather salty-and bu'
little business. The meeting adjourned
si.e die while gentleman was walking a.
round with . hat in his hand engaged IN
collecting ballots on some question un.
known to the great mass Of persons pres.
emit No nom nation Uas made, and that's
enough. Thus has fallen through this pre-.
cious piece Of Democratic trickery. II was
intended to do something in its original con-
csp,iop, bnt ended in farce. TWAS shsl.
low In it, design. and the design was most
nisssably carried out BY its Democratic
sod-lathers. The Republicans engaged in
the meeting appeared to fully and correctly
appreciate the whole affair.
Con Psx Lost While we were at
dime last Saturday, some vile wretch
with more than ordinary vicious instincts.
took 4 large gold pen and silver holder
from our editorial desk. That pen was lost
once before. II came into the possession
Of 1 Democrat. who 6nding tina, every time
i, touched paper, the obstrepolus instrum-
emit pitched into his party like oil wrath, the
idea penetrated him It must be ours. We
are not 90 sure our good old pen would be-
come obstinate on the subject Of politics
now that the election is over, but we are
very confident il any writer should attempt
10 use It in Justification of the Adermsnic
Salary Ordinance. i. would blow him sky
high. Fearful of some such accident, and
having really an affection for the dear old
pen which SO many years has reclined in
the embrace Of our fingers, we do trust il
may " restored 70 ".

STRIKING CONTRASTS.

The know-nothings concoct their political action
nothing of what is ordered or performed be ig
norant as witnesses, and to screen the order when
on juries. They, under midnight orders, seek to
prevent the elector from voting, and beat bruse
shoot and often murder those who resist their un-
lawful and criminal acts Let New Orleans, Louis
vile, Baltimore, Washington, and other cities testify.
The black republicans profess great sympathy for
the coored race at distance and practise none at
home. They denounce the laws of other States as
harsh, but when they have the power, they enact
unconstitutional and tyrannical ones at home They
rave because their invalid laws are not respected,
and insist they should control, right wrong until
the courts declare them unconstitutional while at
the same time they denounce the Supreme Court for
decision that is undoubted law, and proclaim their
intention not to conform to it. ..
The democratic party sympathzcs with all proper
objects of sympathy everywhere, not overlooking
those at its own door. 1t is opposed to secret pot
ca societies, to all interference with the voter and
to every infracton of the peace or violation of the
laws, and believes in being open and frank upon the
witness stand, conscientious in the jury box, and is
for Furnishing all crimes. 1t ressts the enactment of
unconstitutional laws, those savorng of tyranny
and oppression and respects and conforms to the de-
cisons of the courts authoritativey pronounced 1t
upholds the constitution and laws, and awfullycon
stituted authorities and seeks TO confer the greatest
good upon the greatest possible number of the
people

FROM LAKE SUPERIOR.

The propellcrs Mineral Rock, Capt. Fraser, and Iron
City, Capt Turner arrived from Lake Superior yesterday
forenoon The former left Ontonagon Saturday last
and the latter Sunday The Iron City arrived at Su
perior City he first boat n) the 25th ult, and left
again on the 2Sth
The Mineral Rock has been gone from this port five
weeks three of which she has been ce-bound. She
brought down heavy load of copper as follows From
the Cliff mne lls tons; Copper Falls, 80 do Mime
sota 81 do Rockland, So do North American, 26 do
Central, l6 do ; other mines, about 80 do
Some of the masses the deck of the Mineral Rock
are the largest and purest yet brought down from the
mineral district of State weighing from 500 to
900 pounds each Nine of these big specimens from
the North American, and like number from the Cliff
nine average than t,co tons and half each Eight
from the Copper Falls mine little above these
Most of these to be pure coin and
should judge contain from eighty to ninety per cent Of
clear metal There is considerable silver in small part
cles scattered through some of them.
There was considerable ice in Lake Superior when the
Mineral Rock left there and the harbors of Marquette
and the Portage supposed to be still closed by it
The other ports entirely clear The wheels of the
Mineral Rock considerably crippled the ice having
broken four of her buckets entirely Off She will repair
however, without any detention ON that account

The Baltimore Sun (independcnt) says:
BLACK REPUBLICANS DO NOT WANT KANSAS !
FREE STATE

Ever since the enactment of unobjectionable
law providing for calling convention in Kansas to
frame State constitution large class of black
pubcans have advised and their followers in that
Territory have conformed to such advice not to vote
at the election for such delegates while they insist
that tho free1State constitute nne-tenths of the
voters. The object of this absurd and unnatural adj
vice is now quite apparent They wish the conven-
ton to be controlled exclusively by pro-savery men,
and really desire that in framing the constitution,
they may recognise slavery and prohibit its abolition,
and that application may be made to Congress for
admission with such constitution and succeed-and
all for the purpose Of enabling black republicans to
continue excitement, without which they must remain
in hopeless minority No other theory will account
for the extraordinary course pursued. Men who be-
eve and feel that they in large majority will
exercise their right to vote unless some powerful
motive restrains them The pretence that they fear
they would not be fairly enrolled as voters when
they could correct all of accident or design is
all idle assertion The refusal to vote has the de-
sign of occasioning slavery constitution and the
admission of slave State-and all to secure subject
Of defamation, denunciaton, and excitement based
upon the expectation that through such means the
Fremont party may preserve its vitality and show of
strength little longer.
