Congressional Adjournment...The Day
Fixed.

Both Houses of Congress have voted to
close the present session on Monday the 7th
day of June, the Senate having on Thursday
concurred in joint resolution to that effect
previously adopted by the House of Repre-
sentatives. This is.an earlier day than has of
late years been usual, and some will doubt
less attribute it to the fact that members of
Congress receive a fixed salary instead Of
eight dollars per diem as formerly. Their
pay is now $4,000 per session, exclusive of
mileage, as we'll for the short session, which
terminates on the 4th of March, as for the
long one which ends whenever Congress
pleases. The present is the first session held
under the salary regulation, and the day des-
tined for adjournment will probably be in
some sense a precedent.

learn that Mr.. ]. o. Paist Of Delaware.
arrived in Minneapolis to-day, in COMPANY
with twenty-six mechanics who are to be
employed in erecting a large saw mill some
few miles above the Falls. We also heard
that some gentlemen were expected here this
spring, to commence operations on some of
the various mills which are to be erected at
the new dam built at the Falls last winter.
If all the improvements are made which
are in contemplation at the Falls, one million
dollars will be expended at Saint Anthony
and Minneapolis during the ensuing season.
aside from that invested in real estate.
1 was informed to-day that gentleman Of
Minneapolis intended to place line ofstage,
on the road between st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis, and that line of hacks would be started
from st. Anthony to st. Paul in opposition
to the present line Of stages plying between
the above named places.

iously awaiting the 30th day Of April, not in

There is the place to get your money back.
Some little excitement is existing in Min

the Post Office at said place. In all proba.
bility somebody will be Post Master, but

the Gazette thinks that the successful indi.

Various conjectures have been made res
pecting the identity of Waazizi, the author
ii the letters from st. Anthony and Mime
apolis to the Minnesot;an. Some think they
know and some think they don't know
those who think they know do not know, and
they who think they do not know, are as
wise as these who think they do know.
Among those most curious about the mat.
ter is the poet laureate of the Minnesota R.
R. Company. He has made extraordinary
efforts to ascertain the authors name, and
has satisfied himself that Waazizi is q small
man. His enormous conclusion is no doubt
| as agreeable as would be the discovery of the
real perpetrator, who is six feet in altitude
weighs l6O pounds; has excellent wind, and
cannot be whipped by any man in Minnesota
who will give him three yards the start.

What course OF Policy shall we Pursue


The Railroad Loan is undoubtedly ratified
1t is no longer an open question. whether
rightfully or wrongfully-wisely or in)udic'
ously-the people have voted to issue on Ger
tain conditions, the State Bonds to the HALL
road companies; and in our opinion, all hands
should now endeavor to make the best oil
what we still think is bad bargain; and pur-
sue course which shall keep the bonds as
near par as possible, so that the companies
may have no excuse for failing to perform the
many fine promises which they made before
the election to the people to induce them to
grant this aid.
Should the bonds be deprecated, and sold
by the companies at sacrifice, the State will
not be any the less bound to pay the face OF
them-so the best plan is to let the Railroad
companies realize the greatest amount they
cantor they may possibly act honestly, and
if they do, we will have the more road built
and if they don't, as We think they wont, our
loss will be none the greater
But let them have all the chances, either
way

Another Duel.

Two gentlemen of tropical hue, named
Queen Decker and William Robinson, rivals
in the affections Of lady with "a SIX in not
colored like our OWL" met near New York,
very recently, to settle the little differ
ence" in the manner prescribed by the code
duello. A punctilious observance of the
known rules was maintained throughout.
MIR. Decker's shot took effect in the leo of
his adversary, which will doubtless have to be
amputsted. Honor Mas satis6ed.

The Editorial Convention ae %. Paul
ON she 81 OF June next.
The Shakopee Register says
at having been suggested that there be
meeting Of the editors Of Minnesota, at an
early day, for the purpose of agreeing upon .
bill of prices for printing throughout the Ter
ritory or State; becoming better acquainted
with each other, &C., the Misnesotian propo-
ses that the meeting b held at St. Paul, on
Thursday, the Sd Of June, the day following
the Ie-assemkling of the Legislature. The
day mentioned will, for reasons obvious to
the editors OF the State, be proper one"
We have recently heard this movement
spoken of by various papers in the State
We think our brethren Of the press do not
exactly understand the motives of the Mn
nesotian. That paper tried short time ago
to effect . combination among the editors Of
this city against the printers. That plan
failed, because the editors were opposed to
combinations to cry down printers wages.
The editor Of the Minxesotian now proposes
grand combination of all the editors Of the
State Let printers beware, and mark the
man that seeks to delude them by professions
OF friendship.-&. Paul Times Of 20M.

the State. 1t belongs to him personally, and
he shall carry it with him. 1t is right the
State should purge itself of all his miscon-
duct.
Douglas in his Kansas movement may, or
he may not be actuated by pure motives

H. NJ. Rice, that through him he might the
more efficiently serve Minnesota, and even
up to the moment our bill passed the Senate
he fought manfully for the bill entire and for
the admission of three members, notwith-
standing the apos,acy of Rice. To him,
more than any man living we owe whatever
of public favor that has been conferred upon
US. You may call him an ambitious aspirant
"a demagogue, a what you please, my point
US that he has been to Minnesota the most
persistent and powerful friend she has ever
had in Congress, and is determined to be so
still, Notwithstanding the curse of some of
her representatives in Congress, TO the con-
trary.
This much is due to, and ought to be said
of Mr.. Douglas. Ingratitude does not be-
long to our people. Of his politics they will
think as it suits them, approve or condemn,
but of his eminent services in our behalf l
know there can be but one opinion. Yours,
