Our Market.

The Common Council having deter
mined to open our Market House on the
morning of the Fourth Of July we were
on hand at the proper hour, to supply
our wants in the way Of provisions, where
we found not less than one hundred 9th
er citizens all intent on the same interest
ing errand, but who with ourselves were
compelled to return with empty baskets.
Not less than a hundred, and perhaps one
hundred and fifty purchasers, each with
his money in his hand returned disappon-
ted of meeting there the raw material for
recuperatng the inner-man. 1t struck
US, then, and we are still strongly i'm
pressed of the same idea, that could our
country friends have looked in and seen
the opportunity lost for diSposing Of loads
of their surplus fruits, vegetables, meats,
fowls, eggs, &c I, &c, &c, including in
deed every thing eatabe, they would have
been on hand next market day, and no
mistake. But they were not there to see
and accordingly next market day (Tues-
day few fortunate farmers nearest town
had it all their own way.
1t affords tho best opportunity to those
who have marketables to sell to be on
hand where they can meet all the buyers
together--they are certain of the best
prices and the surest sales and are not in
suited with offers of barter and truck in
return but receive the cash, in hand. At
the same time competition secures the
purchasers against extortion in prices
The market is an institution which has
the stamp of thousand ages approval,
and the hue and cry set up for putting
markets down and entrusting the provis-
ion trade to private hands, is The foul
work of interested spectators aud fore
stallers. 1t is certainly a very singular
circumstance that the suggestion of de-
stroying q public market should be en-
tertained by the same people in the same
age, who are endorsing the utility of Ag'
ricullural Fairs and other modes of bring
ing the buyer and seller together. Fol-
what is this thing, but an Exchange il
the line of eatables, tending to settle Pri
ces and guard all parties against the in
iquilies of tho bulls and bears of the pro-
vision market. NJ misrepresentation
avail either party--the question is settled
before their eyes, and all are secured o
fair aud just prices, for cash.
We sincerely hope to see our country
friends duly appreciate the advantages o
having market here for the disposal o
their surplus food and that they will be
on hand every market day to profit by it

Slaves in Minnesota
From the St, Paul Times, Juuc g ]

From the ST. Paul Tunes, Juue ~
1t is a notorious fact that negro slaves
in considerable naJn6er,are now owned
and worked in MinResota. A man-and
g man Of means, too, who has once re.
ceived The vote Of his felow'democrOls
for the legslature-ahods his gang Of
slaves over on the Minnesota river, which
he works upon his farm in open hostility
to public sentiment, but in beautiful har-
mony to the democratic Dred Scott de.
cision,
Men have passed through our city with
their slaves several times during the
winter, and less than four weeks ago a
Southern gentleman took rooms al one oI
our first class hotels, registering his name
as --" land servants" He had FIVE
with him.
The ST Lonis boats have repeatedly
and frequently been manned in part by
slaves from the St. Louis market, and
some such lie at our leVee almost every
day.
And it is generally reported, we know
not how truly, that slave is being held
in Saltwater, and will continue 10 be held
in defiance of the Minnesota law, for the
avowed purpose Of provoking another
Dred Scott decision from the five i'm
mortal slave holders Of the Supreme

On Christmas Eve, in the year 1914.
the Treaty of Peace between England and
the United States was signed at Ghent-
a worthy Commemoration of the blessed
event when the Herald Angels were heard
singing to the shepherds on the plains oil
Bethlehem, peace on earth, good will
towards men," But that treaty was not
known on this side the ocean for six or
seved weeks after its date. The great
battle of New Orleans, as you well know.
was fought at least two weeks after the
treaty ofpeace was signed. Our modern
system of railroads, steamers and tele-
graphs might have saved that efiusion of
fraternal biood-might have deprived in
dividual heroes-might have d Prived our
country and its history of all the glory
which belonged to that really great victo-

ne New Governor of Utah.

The administration has at last appoint
ED a Governor of Utah. Col. CUMMING, Of
st. Louis is the fortunate man, and ifwhat
the New York Tribune says is true, be is
deserving Of almost any post. 1t says:
"Col. Cumming is, we believe, native
of Georgia, and resided for long time
at Augusta lie was elected Mayor Of
that city for the year during which the
yellow fever created such dismal ravage
among its inhabitants, and it is told, to
his credit, that in the most alarming Pc
riods of its viruence he persisted in sit
ting by the side Of the dying, in visiting,
comforting, cofining and following to the
trenches the dead, when almost alhothers
had fed, and in showing throughout the
pestilence a total disregard of personal
danger, that won him high esteem from
all who witnessed or heard Of his ezer-
tons. Subsequently, he became a sutler
in the United States Army, was in Mexi-
co during the war, and afterward in Cali
fornia. AT the time of his appointment
as Superintendent of Indian Affairs at St..
Louis, he was acting in the same capacity
of sutler at Jefferson Barracks. Since he
has been in office, he has given no cause
of complaint, but on the contrary has
proven himself rather a meritoriOus Of
fieer, having in the course Of last Winter,
made very extensive excursion among
the tribes under his care at very severe
season of the year, which thoroubgly test
ed both his powers of locomotion and
endurance. We note this, inasmuch as
the newly appointed Governor is said to
be rather obese in person, and gifted with
a consequent good nature, all Of which we
have no doubt he will need in his dealings
with the Saints. He takes his family tc
Utah TO make that Territory his perma
nent residence"

from Richardson's Advertising Agency,

scale of prices for advertising in country
papers which is about one fourth the reg
ular prices charged, as a general thing,

will not expect any written reply from us.
When we want to advertise one square
