The UNION S. S. MEETING.-The Union
Meeting of the various Sabbath Schools of St.
Paul on Sunday afternoon, held at Rev. Jno.
Mattock's church was very interesting. We
have room, however, for only mere mention
of the exercises Remarks were made by
several gentlemen connected with the cause Of
Sabbath Schools, and some very appropriate
songs sung by the children. Every seat and
standing place in that large church was occu-
pied, so great was the crowd in attendance.
1t augurs well for the future of the Sabbath
School cause in St. Paul.

~ The Phrase LOG Rolling" is drawn
from the clearing Of forest land in new coun-
try. The settler could himself cut down
the trees, and cut them into heaps for burn
ing, and that he could not do without help :;
so he called his neighbors to help him roll and
when they had a rolling he helped them This
was aptly applied to legislative action for
passage of laws for local measures /" Vote
for my bill, and will vote for yours" The
phrase is certainly more than forty years

The ST. PAUL TIMEs.-W have been pain

for it except upon the principle that 1t desires
the defeat and distraction Of the Republican
partly That certainly is the tendency of it's
course. Ayear since when it took its position
in favor of State loan, though we differed
from it on that question, we considered it
sound on Republicanism, and since then we
have regarded it right on the main question;
but since it's unwarranted attacks upon Gov.
Ramsey, Judge Cooper, and other leading
Republicans, we cannot but think that by
trying to cut the threats of its friends, it is
seeking to gain the appreciation Of those who,
if it has spark Of manliness left it must de-

street to the door, or else fence it in entirely.
When the weather is bad, it is impossible al
most. Some of the rock sold by the County
from the Square will make splendid foot

ly an extraordinary body of men. We cast
the mantle of charity over all their queer do
ings but faithful record of them even with
out any comments must place them in an un-
enviable position.
A special meeting ''on matters of great in
terest to the County" was called on Tuesday.
All present but Messrs Lambert, McGrorty
and Mclean.
The object of the meeting was stated to be
to consider "a communication from Messrs.
Horne and Ames, Counsel for the County'in
the prosecution of Edward Heenan.
The Communication referred to the resolu-
ton passed By the Board soon after it's organ
ization, appointing special Committee, and
instructing them to request the District At
torney to prosecute Edward Heenan for acts
of misfeasance and malfeasance in Office, and
directing them to employ Messrs. II. j. Horn
and NJ. f. Ames to assist him in the prosecu-
ton on the indictments found against him in
the District Court. That prosecution on the
charges preferred by the Board was begun
and is still pending-before the " Governor
and evidence taken in regard to said COM
plants. But the Board had since by resolution
declared the office ofRegister Of Deeds vacant;
and they (Messrs. Ii. & A. therefore ask
ed specific instructions whether they should
continue to prosecute the proceedings before
'the Governor" to final decision upon their
application to remove Heenan, &c.
A motion was then made by Supervisor
Wolff, directing Messrs. Horn and Ames to
60 on and prosecute the charges before the
"Govcrnor," and endeavor to get Mr.. Heenon
removed-thus ignoring the former action of
Board in reference to Heenan's removal.
Supervisor Branch, leaving the Chair, OPP
posed this resolution, on account of the ac-
ton already had, and proposed as substi-
tute "that the District Attorney be requested
to inform this Board as to what are the state
of the charges at present against the Register
of Deeds, and what is, in his opinion, the
best course to be pursued by this Board"
This met with no favor however, and the
original resolution was adopted as follows:
Ayes.-Messrs. Baker, Clark, Emerson,
Murray, Schiller, Wolff and Branch.
The Board then adjourned.
The above action of the Supervisors leaves
the matter in just the fix it was in, before the
removal of Heenan by resolution. We I'M
derstand the application. for removal, before
Mr.. S1BLEy, will now be vigorously prose-
cuted, and soon brought to a termination.
We understand that Mr.. Heenan feels
quite unconcerned as to the result of this
mixed up contest. He says he don't care
whether the Governor removes him or not, he
shall hold on to his Office as long as his term
lasts. Ed is spunky boy.
Go it, Bogus Go it, Benicia Boy! Well
bet on the one thatswhips.

ANOTHER PROPOSED THEATRE BUILDING

ANOTHER PROPOSED THEATRE BUILDING
We gave, few days since, an account Of a
new Theatre building to be erected next sea-
son on Sixth street. We have since came
into possession of information in regard to an
other Dramatic edifce which is to be erected
on Third street adjoining Apollo Hall, 50X15O
feet and stories in height. The lower story
to be used for stores, and the upper part for
Theatrical purposes. We understand it is to
be built Of stone, in finished style, and will
be under the auspices of several capitalists
who will put it into operation at once, and
proceed without delay to completion. 1t
would seem that if this enterprise is success
fully carried out, the wants of the Theatre
goers of st. Paul will be doubly well supplied.
We have rumors of still third hall to be ar
ranged for Theatrical purposes.
