On the 6rst of May, MINI .sota will be q State with
out the formal recognition by Congress the vote of
the people at the late election was aim @t unanimous
that the Constitution be so amended that the State
officers, elected last fall, assume their duties on the first
Of May, instead Of waiting until Congress recognizes
our Constitution and withdraws its Territorial Govern
ment. What the effect Of this step will be, it is not
possible to tell: it is certainly a revolutions declar-
alton Of independence against the Federal authority,
without its consent. 1t may be that the Territorial
Government will quietly resign their authority to the
new claimants, and the courts of justice recognize the
higher law Of popular sovereignty. but it does not seem
probable that they will do SO. The objectof the Gen.
eral Government is to keep Minnesota in its present.
dependant state for some specific purpose, and it will
hold its agents responsible for the use they make Of
their power in ,hwarting its object, ifthey do not resist
the assumption of the State officers. We hope this
anomalous condition Of affairs my prompt Congress to
haste n it's action for our admission int" the Union, and
prevent the difficulty aud ward IF the collision OF au;
thority We are fastening into. If Congress is urged
by these wise considerations to do US justice, the move
to establish our State authority will prove judicious,
and We are inclined to think that such will be its effect.

The effects of the great r~evulsion last fall still weighs
heavily on all kinds Of business, not only at the West
but at the East, and not snly in this country, but in
Europe. The accumulation Of capital at all the great
centres of trade, 20 bcsstingly referred to, is the worst
SYMPTOM Of the depression. All this capital Is with
drawn from the avenues Of trade and commerce, AMI
in its effects acts as the blood in the body would It all
tended to one part or member. Iu Europe affairs are
even worse than il this country, as the political troubles
add to the distrust felt in all forms of securities.

right have only to watch his movements in aught
that concerns Southern welfare, and go directly

is ever intelligent, who never makes false step,
the sagacious perseverngs, malignant Luci!er of
the informal host. He has already proclaimed
that the battle Of the free States over the slave

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.--The Il. O., Picaynne, OF the

when Haas being at the time somewhat intOxiea-
ted went TO her residence ON Craps street, opened
the door and called her She went TO him and asked
him what he wanted. He replied to her that he
wanted her to settle that affidavit and grant him
divorce. She told him that il he could not Use
her properly she was willing to agree to a di
yorce. He then said thst no other man should
ever have her, land, at the same time drew double
barreled pistol and discharged both barrels at her
breast. The bullets took effect, aud will, without
doubt, result fatally, it is supposed that they
passed through the left Lang. AS sooG as Haas
had shot his wife he drew dagger aud stabbed
himselfin the left side of the chest, and in q
short time the two were conveyed together to the
Charity Hospital, where they are lying III separate
wards. Ii is thought that Haas will in all proba

HEAVY OPERATIONS. - Pick pockets

strangers Of their spare change. We have heard
Of seventeen meu and three ladies who were
robbed of various amounts ranging from S. TO
S5O0. One gentleman had the breast of his coat
aud vest cut TIM iough, and his money taken from
the side pocket of an under shirt Another had
his pants cut. but discovered the rent before his
wallet was taken. With such gang cf skiilful
thieves in the midst of honest, unsuspecting per-
sons it is not TO be wondered at. that so many
daring robberies were committed on the Capitol
sanare. last Monhay. during the inauguration.
