The Bulliine in Motion .-Clear the

The Daily Times of yesterday, the 9Th,
publishes the impudent address of the RICE
crowd at Washington, accompanied with one
of its characteristic and very funny glorifca-

public generally, to the address in another
column, FROM Mi,ty-nine MinneSotaanS now in

his fellow signers, the Indian traders, includ-

ARREST OF STEELE, THE FoRGER-We
were informed yesterday by an officer Of this
city, that news had been received of the ar
rest of Steele, the land operator, in Chicago.
Deputy Sheriff Bracket Immediately set a.
bout procuring requisition from the Execu-
tive here, to proceed to Chicago, and bring
the errant young gentleman back to the scene
Of his late exploit. But no executive was to
be found, who could sign the requisition
even "Governor" Chase's Coachman, as Sam
Beman used to say. And SO the requisition
has to be sent on to Washington, to His Ex-
cellency Gov. Chase, or some of our other
Governors, to have his signature affixed -
Verify, we are great pcople,and feel like 60
ing in for resolution once offered by the a.
bove mentioned Senator, in our Legislature,
to request King "Rpchanan to appoint six
more Governors" for our relief. Perhaps if
we had the six, and they six had each an act
ing proxy, we would have one Of the twelve
at home when wanted.

The Indians are all peaceable.
The Leavenworth correspondent of the
democrat says that the policy recommended
in the address to the public, framed by one
OF the Convention Committees, is that they
give the Leavenworth Constitution a hearty
ratification, and refuse to accept any organic
law derived from the Lecompton Constitu-
ton or government.
The address does not recognize the posi-
bility of Lecompton becoming the fundamen-
tai law, even though Congress should receive
# as without the sanction OF the people, it
will become null and void.
twas distinctly understood that the Con-
yention will not tolerate the policy of any

ton Constitution.

misses of Mills & Son, one breaking ploy, one
| crOss-plOw and one harrow, and from the

Japan-Thc Use OF UmbrelIas-Amerf-

A letter just received from that county

wing COW to pasture the quadruped walk

rance but the little bipeds no sooner saw me
than they screamed with terror, cast their
umbrella to the winds, and fed swiftly to the
nearest house, not once daring to look be-
hind them. But such cases as these were ex-
ceptional, and usually the children merely re-

at least, is my opinion, and it is based upon
a months somewhat careful observation. T
believe that if the people were not withheld
by the restrictions of their government
and by tho restriction of it's spies.
their good disposition toward US would be
manifested speedily and unequivocally. Their
treatment of us as individuals was always
courteous (they are very polite people, kind
and hospitable, whenever there were no two
sworded spies in sight.
