How THE MAYOR OF BosroN DOES
Mayor Lincoln, of Boston, knocks about
the streets at night, observing the police
and their ways. One of the men of sta
ton No. -, on Monday night, reported
that a stout, thick set man with a smooth
face, tolcrable good looking we'll dressed,
and very soft spoken, had been in the hab-
it of walking on his beat and asking ques-
tions, and the officer concluded by saying
that he believed the stranger was q first
class burglar aud had an eye on the plate
that was used for communion in
church. The lieutenant to whom the sus-
%picions wero impaired had often met Mr..
Lincoln GU his beat, aud without enlight-
ening the officer, advised him to keep his
eye peeled for the future events, and the
public must not be startled if they read
some morning that the Mayor has been
arrested on suspicion.

Plain Truths.

A London newspaper, ia noticing n
meeting held to consider the subject of
popular education, aud at which Prince
Albert presided, says:
The premature Toll of the children Of
the poor is a necessity which results from
the enormous amount of wealth which
the people are compelled to produce for
the sustenation of the immense shoals of
lazy sybarites with which This country is
infested. OF those luxurious and insatia-
BILE devourers, Prince Albert and his fam
lily arc the center. The family of this
idle foreigner alone costs one million ster-
line per annum. Nov, if we estimate the
yearly earning of an English operative at
E25-which is above the average-here
we find that Prince Albert's family costs
the county as much as forty thousand fam.
lilies of o. peratiyee. The people are rob
bed, deyoured, in. order that this one for
eign family should live in idleness, luxury,
aud splendor. As we have said, Prince
Albert's family is hut the center of this
system, of this extravagant and d~evouring
idleness, which the working classes have
to support, and which, to sustain, the
working mans child must toll in the moi
some and fetid factories, when he ought
to be learning IN school or gambling the
field.

which deform and defle this richest of
lands, are the natural and inevitable pro-
duct of that internal system of government
which, like a black arch of he'll, spans and

THE United States Marshal, VIM B. Gere, in reply to
Resolution from the House, asking that the
urns be furnished to the Legislature, stated that he had
not yet received the full returns but he did,
he would furnish the Legislature with the desired nf3r
nation.
The above is an extract from tie Legis-
lative proceedings of Friday. The course of
our worthy Marshal in this census business,
is more singular than admirable. During
the Constitutional Convention, he delayed
commencing taking the census to prevent
that body from districting the State on it's
basis ) and compelled US to grope about for
information on which to make the ap-
portionment. Then he was careful tC keep
all dark about it, not to injure the chance for
the admission of our three members of Con-
gress but the Secretary of the Interior
spoiled that game because tie Administra-
ton objected to admitting so many votes ad-
verse to the Lecompton sUindle. Now our
worthy Marshal is again playing cunning, to
prevent the Legislature re-districting the
State as the Constitution directs shall be
done after every census. Without official
information they cannot proceed to that
business ; and this will put the apportion-
ment over to another year and continue the
present Democratic Senate in power! Gun
ming Mr.. GERE but who will say honest
and straight forward Mr.. GERE?

Things is WOrkins.

Our railroad friends are busy as bees in a
tar barrel. Gentlemen of leading parts
have just arrived from Wisconsin to supcrin-
tond the interests in that quarter involved in
the big grab of the Peoples money which is
being rushed through our State Legislature
We observe the Times and .4dvertiser pub.
lish at length, the elaborate report of the
packed Senate Committee in favor of the
project. This report we learn was got up in
the office of the Minnesota and Pacific Rail-
road, and was written by its officers.
The Times suggests concessions to the peo-
pie by the railroad interest, as notifications
of the original proposition. The .Adoertiser
"happens to know that the Railroad Compa-
nies would not object" to certain amendments.
AS for ourselves, we have had no light
on the subject from Railroad quarters. The
oracles are dumb to us.
DOUBTLESS, these gentlemen, if they can
not steal whole, will put up with part of
loaf. Their debts are pressing-even the
salaries Of their officers are not paid-and
certain ''obligations" entered into during the
extra session Of the Legislature, "grin horri-
bly, ghastly smiles" into their penniless treas
uries. Something must be done and that
quickly.

Encourage Emigration.

Two additional projects are before the leg
islature to encourage emigration into Mime
sofa. One of these is Mr.. REHFIELDs bill
This provides for the preparation by COM
lnittee of five members, of "a short history
Of the State, its geographical position, des-
cription of the soil and climate, and such
laws of the State as they may deem of i'm
pCrtance to emigrants," and that 10000 cop
les be printed, in different languages, and dis
tributed in this country and in Europe
S25OO are to be appropriated to defray the
expenses. This strikes us as good idea, if
properly carried out. We shouldn't be-
grudse little money spent in this way. 1t
will pay good interest in the end. The Pr
oneer is in favor of the measure, also, as we
perceive but then its publisher is State Prin-
ter, and it puts money in his purse.
Mr.. SrARKEY has likewise revived the pro-
jcct to appoint Commissioner of Emigration
but we do not think the Commissioner
would amount to much. Minnesota once
tried that arrangement, but it didn't paw ex-
penses.
We like much better Mr.. Ssarkey's stay
lar for Immigrants.
In morality this bill stands precisely upon
par with insolvent laws, homestead exemp-
ton laws, assignment laws, stay of execution
laws, and redemption of mortgage laws
The mawkish sentimentalty, boyish as well
rs ridiculous, of some presses against it, has
no real foundation, any more than the
premises are correct which they assume, that
the tens of thousands who have been untoy-
tunote and gone under during the recent crash
everywhere, are all rascals, rogues and unfit
to come between the wind and their holy no.
bility!
The passage of the bill will merely say to
these people-"Come to ADMINISTRATIVE
her your labor, skill, talents and experience
here we have a fertile and glorious coun-
try-but we want men-we want the Cap;tol
of People-and if you do come we guaranty
you shall be unmolested during two years for
any of your old debts, unmolested until you
have had chance to get into business, and
made an overplus to redeem, your lost credit"
Mr.. SrARKEY's bill wipes cut 10 debt, as
do insolvent laws and bankrupt laws. 1t is
solely invite men who have been unfortu-
nate in business, to come to Minnesota, and
start anew, without their spirits being contin-
ualy harrassed and their energies depressed
by their old creditors haunting them at every
step they take, and preventing their doing any
good for themselves or others.
We trust those members who have been
opposed to the measure, will review the ar
guments pro and CON on the subject, and vet
conclude to give it their support. This is a
much better way OF helping to relieve the
hard times, than choking our State with
mountain of debt incurred for Railroad Com
panies destitute of capital and incapable of
helping themselves to construct mile of
road on their own resources.

Buchanan,s Message.

Never before has a President of the Uni
ted States sent message to Congress so sys-
tematic in its fasehoods, so base in its impu-
tations, and so grovelling in its subserviency
to slavery, as is exhibited by the special mes
sage OF Mr.. BUCHANAN transmitting the Le-
compton Constitution. See another column.
The Chicago Press says of it: "We have
only time to say, that it is the most dsen-
genuous State paper of which we have any
knowledge. Mr.. BUCHANAN dares call the
great body of the people of Kansas rebels
against the Government The reading of the
message in the House caused considerable
excl citement. There is warm work ahead"

A Nice Advancement. A

Letters are in town from Washington, set
ting forth that Mr.. BECKER can arrange with
Mr.. PHELPS to back out in his favor, provid-
ed the said PHELPS can be made the q. S.
District Judge for this State -!
1t has been supposed that Judge R. R.
NELSON would certainly get this nice life Of
flee; his fathers antecedents on the q. S.
Supreme Bench in favor of the the Dred
Scott Decision, aud his own Southern procliv-
tiles being supposed to give him irresistible
claims to the Office. If we are to have one
of that ilk on the bench, R. R. NELSON
would, we think, afford very general satisfac-
ton.
But Mr.. PHELPS That is a nag of a
different complexion. 1t will be news to the
people in these parts that he is la,oyer -
He was an editor before he came to Minneso-
ia, and he has done "a land-office business
ever since. Judge PHELPS! Wouldn't it
sound queer2 But these are days of strange
things. If this bargain between BECK
Err and PHELPS succeeds, what is to be done
with CAvENAUGH ?
