colds coughs, and chills, succeeded by heat, and
for all fevers of every form, hoarseness and raw
ness of the throat, lungs and stomach, and for all
weakness and sickness of every kind. from three
to five of these Pills on going to bed, for few
days. will be all that you require to restore you to
perfect health. 1t has been admitted and claimed

stronger you grow. They are founded upon the
principle that the human body is subject to but
one disease, namely: corrupt humors. These
Pills not only cleanse the bowels, but also follow

purify it from all morbid and corrupt humors, that

MObOcracy again---A Night of Excite
mcnt---Three Negroes Hung.

The four negr oes charged with the mur-
der of the Joyce family, after occupying the
attention Of the Court for nearly two DAYS
were acquitted yesterday afternoon. As
soon as the verdict OF the jury was made
public, the most decided demonst rations OF
dissatisfaction were manifested by the crowd
who at once proposed lynching them. Large
numbers Immediately assembled in front o
the Jail; but the premises were stoutly de-
Tended by the Chief Of the Police, together
with a police force, the Jallor, and others
Thus things continued until 7 o'clock in the
evening. when reinlorcements gathered from
all points. which gradually swelled to sever
al thousand people.
The mob rallied on several occasions, but
were still repulsed by the guard at the Jail.
At length fiercer demand was made for
the negr oes, and some ten or twelve shots
were fred from either side Still the Jail
was in the hands of the officers, and the
crowd fell back for few minutes. 1t was
only, however, to procure cannon, which
was taken and placed in front of the Jail;
and being well filled it was ready for execu
tion. Another demand was made for the
negroes-hundreds swelled their voices in
the general cry-and thus Overpowered, the
jailor Orened the doors. when the negroes
were Immediately seized, and three of them
taken to the court house yard, and hung
one upon a trte, in the south west end d
the yard, and the other two on the east side
or Fifth street front, to the Court House
square. The other one Of the four cut his
own throat, it is supposed, as he left the
jail door, and fell dead on the spot.

! the adoption of the Constitution. and has
been duly naturalized, is disfranchised and
rendered incapable of being a citizen of the
United States. In view Of this new Demo-
cratic doctriHe, it is not strange that in New
England, New York, and throughout the
Union, even to California, the Know-Noth-
ings are going over almost ea-mosse to the
Democratic party. Nor is it strange that
the intelligent foreign vote is everywhere
crowding into the ranks Of the Party of
Freedom.
The Republicans of Minnesota propose to
elect majority of the Constitutional Con-
vention, in order that Constitution NAV be
formed, which shall secure Freedom to every
person within the new State; which shall
enable the State Government to assert the
rights of the State against any aggressions
of the Federal Government; which shall ex-
tend its protection equally over the foreign
born, and the native born citizen, which shall
secure the right of suffrage to every citizen
OF the United States, wherever born, or
whatever his religion, who shall, by such

advantages entitlc her.
To this end let all personal preferences and
private interests he sacrificed. Let all the
friends Of freedom give 'long pull, a strong

ours. A full vote is a Republican Victory.
Let us take warning from recent derilections
of duty on the part of Republicans else
where, and let every Republican remember
that his vote is needed.

Adjournment of the Legislature

Both branches Of the Legislature ad-
journed sine die yesterday at noon. The bu-
siness of the session was entirely competed
in highly satisfactory manner to all parties;
and the members deserve the thanks of their
constituents for doing their duty on this
occasion faithfully. We presume that some
few measuers have slipped through in the
hurry of closing up that should not have be-
come laws; in fact it will be strange if such
does not prove to be the fact on close exam
ination; but upon the whole we are inclined
to think tina; the public interests were never
better guarded than at this-probably the
final session of our Territorial Legislature.
By to-day the members will mostly have
departed to their respective homes. In be-
ha'f of the people of St. Paul, we wish them
oil happy return to their constituents, and
success in all the business of life upon which
they may hereafter enter.

NIr. Trumbullss Speech.

red on Saturday evening, lasting till a late
hour in the nigh but notwithstanding this,
a respectable audience of our intelligent cit

No ROOM.-The great complaint with peo-
pie in st. Paul now is. that the place is too
crowded. There is not room enough for the
population. All the Hotels arc crowded-all
the boarding Houses are crowded; in short, ev-
cry tenement in town is we'll filled from base
ment to garret. There is reason for the CON-
plant: it is so. We ought to have 500 more
dwellings for single families; some scores OF
large boarding houses, and half dozen more
hotels of various sizes, before even the present
population of St. Paul is comfortably provided
for. We wonder that capitalists don't build
houses: it would be a profitable enterprise
But We must have houses: they must increase
in proportion to the population, or we will
soon have no homes. Who ever heard of
label ITO rent" hanging on house in St. Paul
more than "a hours? The extraordinary de-
mand for dwellings, rooms, and apartments
shows how great is the need. 1t is demand
that increases daily: there is no slack or ahate-
ment to it, still the crowd and throng pour in
upon u.s. If the present facilities of our ho-
tells &C., are inadequate to lodging the crowd
who are continually coming here and settling
here, what will be done nert summer, unless
hotels, dwellings and boarding houses are
built by the wholesale?
These things should be considered-the evil
should be remedied. 1t demands some cure
already. 1t has grown monstrous; something
must be done in time, or we will all wake up
some morning, to find ourselves, houseless,
and no chance of helping ourselves.

The Gibraltar of Slavery Taken.

1t is astonishing to see the changes which
are taking place in Kansas. In the past, as
we have stated, there seems to be sort Of
fatiIity resting on those towns, settled under
Pro-S!avcry auspices and this condition OF
things has lasted until those places have
passed into Free State hands. Douglas,
seven miles west of Lawrence, was started
by Pro-Slavery men. 1t has only histor-
ical existence, with but single house upon
it. Beneca, three miles from Douglas has
met with similar fate. Iecumseh was
started under Pio-Slavery influences, but it
has passed into Free State hands. Lecomp-
ton is dragging out sickly existence, and
would har,ily have a being, but for the fact
Of the public expenditures there. Besides,
it is believed that by this time majority of
the settlers arc Free State men. Delaware
City struggled on for years in Pro- Slavery
hands, 1t was lost sight of, and was hardly
known tn the tourist. Now it is brushing
up under better influences, and there is little
doubt but it will in due time, become the
great cntrcpot to the Territory from the Mis-
souri, River. ...
Leavenworth was started by Pro Slavery
men, but it soon passed into Free State
hands, hence her rapid progress. Kickapoo
is hardly known, and is never mentioned by
the traveller. Doniphan has only been men,
tened in connection with Pat Mclaughlin,
and the brutal murder of Collins. 1t has
passed INTO Free State hands, and different
destiny awaits it.
Atchlnson has been made the head-quar-
ters of Border Ruflianism in Kansas, and the
home of the notorious StringfellOw. Here
has been committed the most brutal crimes.
Here the Squatter Sovereign has stimulated
men to blood and arson. AtchinsOn has
passed into other hands. Our late fellow
townsman, Gen. pomeroy, and Robert Brat
ney of Ohio, have purchased a le ding inter-
est here, and its future is a brilliant one. By
the influence of Free labor this point is des-
tined to occupy favorable position in the
Territory, and will undoubtedly be the first
town in Northern Kansas. But one thing
more is required, and that is, to wipe out
the offensive name of the town, and give it
some other which will not always be associ-
ated with crime and violence.
But we are not done. The Squatter Sove-
reign, the organ of all that was vile and in
famous in Kansas. has passed into the hands
of the new proprietOrs of the town site.
From this forth it is to be a Free State paper
and advocate freedom of speech and action.
Mr.. Bratney who has labored in the capacity
of journalist in central Ohio, and who is
favorably known to the public as good
writer, takes charge of its columns. We
congratulate the country, and the friends OF
free State upon the glorious results which
time is rapidly developing in Kansas. The
last strong hold of Pro-Slaveryism surrender
ed, and our future is bright and joyous

is not improbable. and had better be avoided.

A Good Joke.

Some wag the other day had bill intro
duced in the Legislature, which contained a
provision to allow negroes to vote, so far as
the city of ST. Anthony was concerned.-
Strange to say, almost every Democrat in
both branches voted for it! At this result,
the Pioneer becomes terrible wrathy, and
proceeds to abuse the Republicans in its
most choice fish market slang. The Pioneer
is apparently mad because our people don't
keep more faithful watch over the conscien-
ces and votes If its followers.

To tho Editors of the Minnesotidn :

Police practice prevails in this town, that
according to all municipal usage am acquant-
ed with, is unwarrantable and obnoxious to
law. allude to the harsh usage violatOrs of
City Ordinances meet with from Policemen
Policemen have authority to call upon bystand-
ers to aid them if necessary. in arresting offend
ers against the peace of the City; but have
they the right to use the cudgel unless in self
defence! An answer to this question through
your columns might probably prove beneficial
to the intelligence and humanity of those ap-
pointed to be the conservators of peace and
not violators of it. Rufianly conduct on the
part Of policeman is infinitely more prejudi-
cial to law than the offence he attempts on his
own responsibility to correct. .
