The Pioneer and the Boston Post.

On the morning of the lst of April the Pioneer
was very funny over what it termed good "sell,
but as soon as the facts became known that the
ideas put forth were stolen from an article in the
Boston Post, and revamped for this meridian,
there was a terrible falling of feathers, to the
great amusement of the public. We did not have
the article at hand out of which the Pioneer ge-
MUS made plagiarism, but have since received a
copy, and print it to show with what brazen-faced
audacity " penny a. liners" will sometimes palm
off stolen articles for consideration and for
their Own amusement. The following appeared
in the Boston Post of April l, lS53:T
ga MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY. hIN
Yesterday afternoon, as the workmen were en-
gagged in digging hole upon the Common, in
which to set tree, they came upon brick arch,
which, upon opening, and waiting awhile for the
noxious gas to escape, one of the workmen de-
scended and explored the cave. 1t was about ten
feet deep, fifteen feet length, and six feet wide.
Upon the north side was an iron door, from which
issued fight of stone steps. This door was
nearly decayed with rust. The brick were of
very quaint mould, differing entirely from any we
icircular shape. Four small earthern pots
or jars, of a curious form, with uncouth heads
moulded upon them, were found in one corner of
this vault one Of which was filed with amor
phus pieces of silver, covered with yellowish
brown mould or rust. The other three contained
a motley assortment of jewelry of the most singu-
lar form and mske-consisting of heavy gold
rings, deliberately wrought. with chasings of beads
and antique armor entwined in scroll work and
flowers bracelets, buckles, earrings, &c. In a
or evice between the bricks, was stuck dagger,
VIII ich upon touching, the blade Immediately
crun ,bled to pieces, being completely eaten up
with rust. The handle, upon a little rubbing,
proved to be of fine gold, set with six costly dia
monds. s. .- ..E4s.aras
Here is q problem for antiquarians to solve. The
only clue or key to this strange affair is the in
scription found engraven on the handle of the
dagger, wi ,ich some of our learned pundits are
now trying to translate; it reads thus-"LO.-
OIL. IR.p. A." .tas' a' .,.-.-', p. 'e'.'
The articles have been deposited at the City
Hall; and the cave will remain open to-day for
the examinatit, ,n of the curious" - -, 81,
The reader " ill observe the similarity of the
two articles, by procuring copy of the Pioneer.
Instead of the thing found being ''dagger'' it
was s'coin," AMI although the description was
somewhat more ell sborated in the stolen article,
yet there is such a striking resemblance in the
"April Fool" depart uent of the original, that no
one will question the source from whence it came.
So, Mr.. Pioneer, the TINES "ies," does it? We
may be induced to 81, e you additional evidence
of your theft after you have stigmstized us with
another half column OF low epithets Suppose

coats in Broadway are on the backs of penniless,
broken-down merchants, clerks with pitiful sala-

gentlemen of very limited means; costly orna-

the following paragraph from the Wheeling (Vir-
ginia) Intelligenoer. The occasion of the article
of which the foregoing is specimen, was the re-
cent victory of Freedom in st. Louis:
eThe elections do demonstrate this fact beyond

the people of the Union is irrevocably opposed to
the extension of Slavery; that they are determin-
cd, if overwhelming public sentiment can avail
anything, another Slave State shall not be admit

determined Because they believe and not only
believe, but see and know. that Slavery is an un-
mitigated curse to the soil that sustains it.. They
know this, for they every free state out-strip.
ping every slave state in all the elements that
make people powerful and prosperous; because

Rum ID Id IL.

We give report of the trial of the rioters in
another column, from viii ch it will be seen that
they acted without provoca tion and deserve the
sevsrest penalty which can be inflicted upon them.
Had they not been intoxicated the affair would
not have occurred, for no body OF men in their
right minds, would have acted so wontonly and SO
outrageously, as did the gang on election night.
Let them learn a lesson---that Rum was the In
stigator, that Rum is always the instigator of
evil and that SO long as they use it, SO long will
they find themselves constantly in trouble. a.1i
LEGIsLATURE.-We note with much pleasure the
alacrity with which the members of the Legisla-

their savage captors. 1t is duty We owe hu-
manity to do everything in our power to release
them from their bondage. e.a
