MINNEsoTA.--Salt is very scarce at
Winona. The people may keep, but
what will the pork do? The Chip
pewa chief, Hole-in-the-day, is on his
way to Washington. St. Paul is alb
solutely ovcrrun with dogs, as we learn
from the Daily Times. The papers
are barking at them. There was
a food in the Territory during the
last week in January. A stage driver
between Winona and st. Paul, was
drowned with span of horses, in the
Minnesota river, the latter part of Jan
uary. No mail was lost. The drive
that followed him had to wade waist
deep, and the mail was carried over
by two persons in a skif1. at cost OF
$50 Two tons Of paper mail remain
ed behind at Wabashaw. Alexander
Ramsey has taken the necessary steps
to contest the election of Henry Sibley,

Sr,TE PRINTING. Tho laws of the
State should be published in every pa

paper of each county Is there a man
in the Legislature Of Iowa who dares
introduce bill providing for the pub
LEGATION of all laws in the official coun-
tv papers throughout the State at half
legal rates? We put the price down
so that the expense will not Brighten
the wise men from the consideration
of the subject-MGregor Times.
Some days since we addressed let
ter to the representative of our dis
trict upon this subject, and we doubt
not that he not only "dares" but will
take pleasure in presenting bill of
so much importance and benefit to his
constituents and to the people of the
whole State. As matters now go, a
few pamphlet copies Of the session
laws are sent to each county; and
notwithstanding the people have paid
for them once, if one of the "sove
reigns" wishes for copy, he is told
that he must pay for it. This he does
not and will not do--consequently
very few of our citizens see the laws
or know any thing about them. VIII.
should the people elect Legislators, i
they are to be kept in ignorance o
their acts? An enlightened legisla
certainly an enlightened con
stituency-will not long permit thi:
state of affairs. We say, let the laws
he published in the newspapers.

to take effect Immediately, and continue until

isting among the mercantile class throughout
the world, and especially in this western coun-

only means of restoring trade to good and
sound basis is to retrench and allow old debts
to be paid before contracting new ones. With
this view, we have made our terms CASH
AND READY PAY, and though we expect
our sales to be greatly reduced, vet we are
confident that such system will be far more
pleasant than under the old system of abused
credit. Then, again, we are certain that il
