CARD PUBLrc-In his paper of We, te day, March
llth Mr.. NJ NEwsoN, Editor of the Times, says that
am anxious to adve rtise my Restaurant cuisines at
his expense" Who commenced this controversy? Not
me. He attacked my place of business-attacked my
cretby falsely representing another person owning
part of that of which the .ole overland to this
wanton and unprovoked attack l replied, and he
winces. Wasn't ,ustifable in defending myself?
He now says he won't stoop low to handy words
with vender of Liquors." So then he has been stopping
loc, by his admission, for several days past but
this not the only confession he makes, In another
tence this hypoctcal slider from the Temperance
cause makes the following open confession. Let every
body read it -
"Our TT. NJ. NEwsoN's Liquor Bill this arinier, aoas
1860 instead of $6O.'
When mentioned, what kno,c to be the fact, and
prove, that his Liquor bill wholesale house
Alone in St. Paul $eOust for this winter did not
pretend to say, that he can't get out of the
scrape by accusing Of him because
did not give the Hhole amount of his dealings an La
Quor, this winter But does not man who confesses to
have been trading in Liquors 0or he couldn't have
guzzed all that amount himself great may be his
pacity and allowing his belly to be three four times
the capacity his brain)possess great deal of brass
TO thus talk that he "won't stoop low to handy
vender of Liquor" when by his confess
on he must such vender himself, to the amount Of
$500 worth this winter? man who pretsnds to tenn
,erance and then deals in Liquors to this amount and
then affects tn despise his business all allow
to be very dirty and contemplate little fellow.
He is anxious to back out from the controversy
he has himself provoked. He thinks very edify
ing to the public how much liquor he has bought
drank. Inever pretended it was He seemed to think
by his ataks other individuals his efforts to
screen the Free GROCERY at toe Capitol But now he
don't like his own hide gored by the bull-oh no.
To close, why don't the Editor of the Times take back
his dirty SANDER upon the Republican Constitutions
Convention, that there Liquor Saloon Kept oy its
members in the Capitol. He knows this is LiE'yet he
sticks to it, The idea Of such inscriptions rascal,
blathering about his stooping low when he already
wallows in the gutter surrounded by his own immoral
filth, enough make dog SICK let alone Christian

The Mormon Policy.

We see it stated, by persons who assume
to he well acquainted with the Mormon.
policy, that when the United States army
enters Salt Lake City, they will find tn,
Mormons all at work mading their own busi
ness, and wondering why the troops were
sent there. The leaders WILL however, be
absent. Finding no resistance, the troops
will he removed by the Government, and
then the leaders will return, and the United
States civil officers will be subjected to an.
noyances similar to those which induced the
Government to send out the expedition. Il
IS argued that volunt. er force raised in the
states, with view to permanent settlement,
in Utah, is the only means of keeping these
people IN check.

A Good Cup OF TEL.

Sover, the famous cook, in his new work,
describes. how good tea ought to be made -
IL had large kettle made, holding eight
quarts, and put coffee filter to it. l then
placed the rations of tea for about twenty
men in the filter, poured in the boiling wa
ter, and to nv establishment, made about
one-f urth more tea, perfectly clear, and with
uut the least sediment Four of these ket-
lies made enough tea for all the hospital -
and this iduced ME to order some upon
smaller scale, for the various wards, where
at night it is Of the greatest Importance that
tea should be prepared quickly, in large
quantities. l cannot too strongly recon-
mend it to large families, institutions, and
other establishments, for its economy OF time,
and saving of Is per cent upon the quantity
of tea required. I tired it in Miss Nightin-
gales room, at Scu:ari, before several per-
sons and the Rev. Mr.. Blackwood, the
Chaplain, persuaded me to bring it out for
the benefit of the poorer classes, as much for
its clearness as its enonomy.

that the Editor of the Minnesotidn part of MY

part of the establishment, he is at any rate good

Now don't think the fact of any writer drinking or
not drinking at my bar, any other bar has anything
to do with the force of his articles against any public
measure. If any gentleman drinks at my bar 1 think
him quite good, and little better, Gas he is hypo

Troubles about Minnesota - Her Com
stitution NOT Republican, etc.
N Y. Post Correspondence Of March 1.
The bogus Democracy have discovered that
the Minnesota Constitution is MT kepuol,-
can that it makes no provision for the expl'
ration Of the first Legislature elected, nor
does it name any time for the election OF
new Legislature, 80 that the State Legisla-
ture now organized under it, and in session
in that Territory is perpetual. The TACT Is,
there is a strange history about this whole
Minnesota affair, which is developing itself,
and when fully exposed and understood, will
not reflect much credit upon certain offlclals
of that Territory.
Chicago Tribune Correspondence Of March2'
The Minnesotians are a little nervous
about their status. They. of course, contend
they are State out of the Union while con-
servatives and fogies contend that they are
not State at all. The Senators and Mem
bers elect expect to get in this week. They
will be disappointed. 1t is said that the Con-
stitution is not Republican, inasmuch as the
Constitution makes no provision for the cleo
ton of members of the Legislature after the
first election. The body now in existence
has been in session month, aud may so con-
tinue eternally. The members appear to
think themselves elected for life. They are
a regular Rump.
Sibley, who pretends that he has been cleo
ted Governor, has not nerve enough to take
the Office ; and Chase, the Secretary Of the
vanqulshed Territorial organization, has the
effrontery to act as Governor of the State
Under these circumstances, it is plain that
the Republicans should retire from the
Legislature, and have nothing to do with
Il government. Minnesota is either State
or Territory if State, Chase is not Gov
ernor if Territory, no Legislature is in
existence, and Rice and Shields are not Sen
ators. Rightfully they are not Senators, any
how.

that he could disclose nothing that would
