EF We call attention to the articles in this
paper, advocating the establishment of an Indus
trial University at Fort Smelling. We were much
gratlfied to see this excellent public movement
started in the House on Thursday last, by notice
of memorial to Congress petitioning that body
to cede the old Fort to this Territory for the be-
nifcent purpose above stated. Let every man
when the memorial comes up, speak and act up
on it, with full comprehension of the progress
of the Present, and the demands of the Future.

ca One of the employees of the Pioneer Office
tells US that GooDRIcH-she gambling, rum-drin-
king, nigger-catching hero, who presides, like q
veritable Pickwick, over the charmed columns of
the st. Paul Hornblower, went to his room on
Friday. locked the door, and, inspired by congo
NAL "spirits'' wrote his last malicious libel
against us. From morning till noon-from noon
till night he wrestled with the dictionary, and,
like the laboring mountain Of mythology
"brought forth mouse p Weii-it is highly
proper. This GooDRIcH had some nauseous ve-
nality floating on the black surface Of his heart,
which he has thrown of, and doubtless feels bet
ter; besides if he intends to persist in his present
course, he very properly accustoms himself to
being shut UP. 4# HG ao

The Pioneer on "IIypocrisy! -

The Pioneer, few days since, pretended to
print for its readers Gan Hour with Humboldt .
being "A description by Bayard Taylor, of the N.
Y. Tribune, of his visit to that renowned philoso.
pher and in this pretension, the Pioneer exhibits
characteristic honesty in entirely omittng the
following pertinent paragraph. Glance over it,
reader, and see if you don't ,oonder why the Pio-
neer left it out Referring to Humboldt, Taylor
remarks:
''After showing me some of the Hildebrand's
water color drawings, he returned to his seat,
and began to converse about American affairs,
with which he seemed to be entirely familiar
lie spoke with great admiration of Col. Fremont,
whose defeat he profoundly regretted. sBut it is
at least mos t cheering sign,' he said, sand an
omen of good for your country, that moro than
half a million of people supported by their votes
man of Fremont's character and achievements
With regard to Buchanan, he said: q had occa-
sion to speak OF his Ostend Manifesto not long
since, in letter which has been published, and
lcould not characterize its spirit by any milder
term than savage" ri
And this is the admirable sentiment which the
Pioneers piety smothered; thus mangling the
words, and suppressing the honest principles of
the great Humboldt. And this man, reader, is
the omnipotent GooDRIcH-the contemplate pup
py who charges US with stealing his share of the
brandy; the ''Honest Iago" who assumes to be
the dictator Of Public decency, and a paragon of
newspaper righteousness! Does the above
named distortion look anything like 'shypocrisy?''

LrcoxrrE.--It seems that the majority Of the
Judiciary Committee Of the U. s. Senate, justify
the Jefreys OF Kansas in his judicial ousrages,
and are inclined to resist the President removing
him. This, at least, is the position of the Chair
man OF the COMMITTEES, Mr.. Toombs. His service
in the cause of slavery has been too valuable to
permit him to be struck dowp merely for an ex-
hibition OF tyranny and ususpation unparalleled
at least in this country.

The Court HoUsE.-We called attention
few days since, to the approaching Court
season, and the miserable condition of the
Court House. We are gratified to observe
that now the Commissioners have taken the
thing in hand The seats, woodwork, desks,
&C., of the room have been reprinted, the
walls and ceiling white washed, and the floors
scrubbed, nothing remains now to do but car
pet the floor inside the bar, and furnish the
proper upholstery.
One or two suggestions to the Commission
ers may not be inappropriate. We refer to
the jury benches,-why cannot they be cush.
Toned We have heard this several times
asked. Another thing much needed is tables
for the attorneys, and desk for reporters.
Both these should be furnished.

SOME of the merchants along Third street,
where the grade has cut down the street in
front Of their stores, leaving them considera-
BILE elevated above it, have resorted to various
shifts to remedy the effect.
We noticed clever feat of Mechanics on
Saturday in the lowering of the floor of
Beaumont & Gordon's Wholesale Grocery
Store. in r. NJ. Spencer's fine stone building.
The joists were sawed off, and the whole
floor, piled up almost to the ceiling with
heavy freights, was lowered down upon the
new wall, ten feet lower. This, by cutting
down the door, leaves them again on the
level of the street. This was done under the
supervision of r. D. Wollam.

THE BUILDING SEASON is still at its height
and Notwithstanding the number of fine res
licences and dwellings that have been erected
and finished this season, the demand appears
as great as ever. In some quarters of the
city, whole squares of buildings have been
erected, where last winter nothing but sta
ked lots were to be seen. We wonder that
rents still keep their present altitude, when
buildings have multiplied so, and everything
else IS lowering. There must be many emp
" dwellings this winter, if present prices

AN Notwithstanding the un-
favorable weather, crowded house greeted
Miss IRVING on Friday evening, on the occa-
sion of her Benefit, when she appeared as Julia
in "The Hunchback." Repeated plaudits
followed her superb acting throughout the
piece, land on its conclusion,prolonged applause
called her before the curtain. But not least
among these admiring tributes to her acting
was the following incident: The front seats
of the Theatre were crowded with the mill
tary of St. Paul, (by special invitation of
Miss IRyING,) in full uniform. The three In
dams who had been released from their cap
tivity were also present with them, and dur
ing the play manifested their peculiar signs
of delight at Miss IRvING's acting. Wien
she appeared at the close, in front of the cur
tain, NAT-TAM-AB, one Of these Chippewa
sons of nature walked up to the footlghts,
and having drawn Miss IRvING's attention,
handed her testimonial in the shape of
diamond Ring, worth $75, and set down.
Miss L. bowed gracefully, and retired. NAT
TAM-AB said that " he didn't know b ut what
the long-knves might not like it, but he liked
the pale face squaw's acting so much, he want
ed to give her something"

MARBLE QUARRY IN ST. PAUL-We have
seen specimens of a very superior quality of
White Limestone, taken from quarry on
the. hill near the Central Presbyterian Church,
which more closely resembles marble than
any we have seen in the neighborhood. 1t
is handsomely fecked, or clouded, and when
finely dressed, bears close resemblance to
marble. We have seen it used in several
buildings about town, and it looks extremely
we'll for front, or to construct pillars from.
We believe this marble limestone underlies
most of the hill there and it is almost mex
haustible.
