The question Of the permanent seat of gov.
evement, comes up here, involved in the To-
cation Of the Capitol. Finally settled by
compromise the Capitol being given TO St.
Paul; the PeDiteptiary to Saltwater, and
the University to st. Anthony. .
But the storm that RACES inside about this
and other matters, is nothing to the tempest
outside the npshot of which is, that Good
hue Is stabbed 10 the belly by brother Of
Judge Cooper. for bitter personal attack
upon the character Of the judge, and the
frsternal Cooper is shot by Goodhue in the
loins. There was story current at the
time, that when Goodhue felt the cold knife
ripping up his fat paunch, being slightly con-
fused on the physiological question, be ex.
claimed, a" the villain has stabbed me to the
heart"

HISTORY AND GROWTH OF POPULATION IN 1T.
PAUL IN tbs LAST TIN YEARS.
A census taken 90 June llth, ls49, gives
the population Of st. Paul election precinct
which extended over considerable portion
Of what 10 now Ramsey county, at SO4 per.
sons, 10 l08 families or houses.
There were only about thirty buildings
according to Goodhue's account, we will
say forty, tenements Of all sorts and sizes,
log and frame, stores and dwellings, were
on the TOWNSHIP on Goodhues arrival. Only
one Of these, Bass small two story building,
was hotel, though Jackson had number
OF boarders. According to the census, the
population OF the precinct averaged eight to
. tenement. But 10 the town we may wei
suppose that people were packed 10 pretty
close accommodations. Assuming then ten
persons to each Of the forty buildings found
here by Goodhue on his arrival, we would
have a total population Of 400.
The following table will indicate the
growth Of population 10 ten years:

We have above, official enumerations
made in le49, 1850, 1857, and 1858, while
these and the intermediate figures are sub
stantiated throughout, by the annual vote Of
the town and city.

PUGET SOUND HERALD.
STEILACOOM, ". 7, FRIDAY, JULY !, 1859.



TO the Editor Of the Puget Sound Herald:
CusrON HOUSE, Port Townsend
June 22d, 1859.
In your paper Of the 18th inst, you publish an
article emanating from Port Townsend, with the
title of "The Roaring of the Lions"
If your correspondent was vain enough to take
that title for himself he was in error; for con-
slider he is that animal the fables speak Of, that
clothed himself in the lions skin to deceive others,
but his braying exposed him.
Iconsider the man if an American) that would
reverse the American flag is no better than q
traitor to his country, and one that would forget
his nationality to rejoice over it through public
print would let private animosity run away with
him.
Again: Mr.. Voter says the Custom House has
not been conducted properly. As have been
the party that has conducted that Office for the
last two years, call upon him to state in what
manner it has not do not know but that he is
one Of the disappointed Qor there are many ap-
plicants for the Office.
II the worthy citizens Of Port Townsend do
not want the Custom House on the beach, am
under the impression that, by proper repre-
sentation, Government will remove it to accom-
mOdate them, and hereafter not make them SUBJ
ject to the influence Of government money.
Respectfully yours,
j. j. II. VAN BoKKELEN.
