The Ruf6an Constitutional Convention at
Minnesota in attempting to procure men
enough TO claim seats in their Convention TO
constitute what would be majority in the
legal Convention, so that they would have .
quorum for business, tried to get one man
from St. Anthony to cit for Pembina. He
told them that he did not belong in Penn
bina, that no was not voted for, and knew
that be was not the choice Of the people for
that districs. Blu. they could get NO one
else to take his place, and, under some in
dueement or other, he has yielded to their
desires. They have succeeded in convincing
him that he does live in Pembins, and was
lawfully elected to the Constitutional Con-
stitational Convention! The St. Paul
Times says he is citizen Of St. Anthony,
and never was in Pembina in his life.
The fun Of the thing is that with the Penn
b'na delegation full, and every bogus mem
Der which they claim, they would not have
majority Of the members elected, and with
out majority, which the law constitutes 4
quorum, they viii DO incompetent to do bus
insss. What other trick they will resort to,
in order to make pretence to quorum, yet
remains to be seen. Perhaps they will take
in some Of the st. Paul wharf rats who yot-
Cd half-a-dozen times in order to elect the
Pro-Slavery delegates in that district. 1t
seems difficult to find any deceut man willing
to take such place.

The Sioux City Eagle says 500 good look
ing and industrious women are wanted in
that nsighborhood. But the demand is not
limited to 500, nor the market to Sioux
City. Good looking and industrious women
are needed all over the country. No more
"ladiss," in the popular sense, are needed.
The sensible and large minded woman, with
aproper apprehension Of her true relations to
soc'ety and OF the duties imposed upon her by
her position and family, Of native and spon.
famous kindness of heart, is ins.inctively
refined and gentle being, and the only tru,
lady. Let US have 500, 5000, any numbe,
Of them. The supply is too small. III,
need OF them in menss. Indeed, We do mo-
know but il is the great demand Of the age
"a demand more serious than the call 70,
"the coming man." We need sensible ans
industrious women, mates, companions
"help- meets" more than we need PRO
found and original genius 10 the world, Jus
now. The family of the stuck-ups is tot
large. The know-nothing, do-nothirg, veal
and delicate specimens Of feminity hav.
grown too numerous. The best use the,
can be put TO is to cover them with glass
cases and keep them as mantle ornaments
or to make them serve as perAmbulatin,

That il TO say, the West, whose securities
you have been 20 roundly abusing and who's,
financial condition you have lsbored SO hare
70 depreciate, will probably be in good con
dtion, after all, and buy largely this fall
10 such case, it will 60 great way toward
hslping out the Eastern spectators in mer
cantsle articles. But We think il would be
wise idea for the West to be the most char,
N its patronage towards those who have Ia
bored the hardest to decry its securities, il
public stocks, i.s financial condition and il
future prospects,. Then We will see wher,
the "panic' is, pretty soon.
