ST. Ioseph RaiIrond Celebration

The opening of the important Hannibal and
st. Joseph Railroad, connecting the Mississippi
and the Missouri by iron bands, was formally
celebrated at st. Joseph on the 22d ult., with
great spirit. Large delegations were present
from the Western cities, an imposing process
sion was led by an Express wagon carrying
Mississippi water to be mingled with Missouri,
cannon roared. the people hurrshed, and the
Missouri, the Mississippi, the Lakes, and the
Atlantic, were declared one in bonds indissolu-
bic. Col. Thompson, of St. Joseph, was the
orator of the joyous occasion. Among the
pioneers who participated in the ceremonies,
was Mr.. Joseph Robidoux, the founder OF the
city of st. Joseph. He selected the site on
which it stands for trading post with the In
dians, in 1899, while the territory of Louisiana
was still the property of France. He settled
there permanently in 1903. The Platte pur-
chase, embracing the site of st. Joseph, was
made from the Sac and Fox Indians, by the
United States in 1886, and the territory was
added to the State of Missouri. Mr. RobidOux,
in l843, entered his quarter section and obtain
ed his title from the United States Just forty
years after he had settled upon it. Col. Thomp-
son also introduced Mr. Joseph Cohen, one of
the founders of Saint Louis. The presence of
these veterans, looking hale and hearty, though
far advanced in years, added much to the inter
est of the exercises.

In noticing the passing through Detroit Of
Gov. Bingham, on his way to Washington to
take his seat in the Senate of the United States
at the commencement of the extra session of
that body ordered by Proclamation of the Pres
ident to assemble on the 4th of March, the Ad-
vertiser thus happily "paInts moral and adorns
tale:"
1t is but few years since Gov Bingham left
the other branch of Congress prescribed man,
and with the curse of Gen. Cass especially upon
his head. Now he has been summoned back bv
this same Gen. Cass TO occupy one of the seats
which he and his colleague have SO long filled,
to the injury and discredit of Michigan. The
event is one which should prove warning to
all demagogues, and shows the advantage of a
firm and consistent adherence to principle. He
was prescribed for faithfully carrying out the in
structions which they had received from their
constituents, to resist the extension of slavery
His course has been approved by the people of
his State, and they have sent him back to do
what they SO often instructed Gen. Cass to do.
On the other hand, that political trimmer falsi-
fed his professions, and BETRAYED his constitu-
ents, and the people repudiated him. He now
holds the nominal position of Secretary of State,
a position assigned him to cover his mortifca-
ton, and to afford him a refuge from the indig-
nation of those whose wishes he SO despised in
the day of his power. There he is about to end
his days penEioner upon the government,
while Gov Bingham is but just to enter upon
his career of usefulness and honor in sphere
SO many years perverted to partisan and per-
sonal schemes by the men who, not ten years
ago, read him out of the Democratic party

The Report of the Canadian Commissioners
ofPublic Works for 1858, states that this most
important work has been from its commence
ment, and still is, in state of continued pro-
gress and enlargement, both as to breadth of
channel and depth of water, in order to keep
pace with the requirements of trade. During
the past season four first class steamers have
been employed on the work of widening and
deepening the channel where required for the
adoption of Lake Erie as the source of supply
for the canal, and the deepening is to be con-
tinued the coming season. Navigation the past
season commenced on the 9TH of April, and was
terminated on the 7th of December. The canal
is at present capable of passing vessels Of four
hundred tons. This capacity is regarded as so
inefficient in view of the Canadian water route
to the Ocean, and of the large trade of the
West, which may be diverted into other chan
nels, that the Commissioners recommend the
sound policy and expediency of making an ap-
preparation of means to meet the expense of
adding largely to the capabilities ofthe Welland
Canal at the first moment that satisfactory
financial arrangement can be made for it.
The Report makes mention of the Railway
along the bank ofthe canal from end to end,
the distance being but 27 miles, for the purpose
of transporting lake freights from vessel to YES
sci, between Lakes Erie and Ontario. Notwith-
standing freights can only be had during the
open season ofnsvigatiOn, and the disadvanta-
ges and expense Oftranshipment from vessels to
cars and from them again to vessels, the pro-
ject was SO favorably received by pratical men
in England that the whole of the necessary
stock is taken up, and the works of the road it.
self are at this moment on the eve of compile
ton, through the indefatigable energy of Hon.
". Merritt. Such is the Canadian spirit and
determination to secure a full share of the vast
Lake inland commerce our own government SO
shamefully turns the cold shoulder upon.

sIarerr in New nlexico.

While the Representatives of the intelligent
people of Kansas Territory have just passed a
law to abolish and keep slavery out, the Nation
al Democracy. made up of all grades and peo-
pies in New Mexico, tave, through their Terri
tOrial Legislature, passed stringent act ''pro-
vding for the protection of property in slaves in
the Territory" and forbidding emancipation
New Mexico too is one of those territories in
which the anti -Wilmot provisoists of the North
declared no inhibition of the institution was ne
cessary-"the laws of God" as recorded in the
climate and on the face of the country being a
sufficient inhibition of Slavery. Tne recent ac-
ton of the Legislature, which was nearly as
unanimous as it is unanimously Democratic,
proves however that the non-inhibitiors were
false prophets.
Slavery has established itself in New Mexico
Just as it had in Kansas. The slaves are few in
number, but their masters are omnipotent in
the government. The legislation there, it is per-
tinently remarked by the Missouri Democrat, 'is
a home illustration of the slavery extension pol
icy of the national democratic party In New
Mexico that party has command of both branch
es of the Legislature, and accordingly it hastens
to show its proclivity on this subject, notwith-
standing the Mexican law abolishing slavery is
still in force, and notwithstanding the further
fact that the one representative of the peculiar
institution is under the sod. 1t amounts to an
invitation to the South to import slaves there
to the exclusion of white men. and is now es-
pecially designed to give the slave breeding
States an outlet for their negroes in the gold
producing regions just developed within that
territory. California was seized by the white
men, say the national democrats, and now we
will set apart New Mexico for the negroes
Perhaps the immigration of the present year
will have word or two to say on that subject"

Another GoIden wedding.

We learn by the Painesville Telegraph that
one of these rare and interesting events took
place at Monmouth, Illinois, on the l4th ult-
The parties, Col. H E. Paine and wife, and
most of their relatives, were but short time
since residents of Lake county. They were
married in PainesyiIle on the l4th of Feb 1909,
by Lemuel Fobes, Esq, at the log house of Joel
Psine. The maiden name of the bride was
Harriet Phelps. Col. Paine, the bridegroom at
the Golden Wedding, was in fine health and
spirits and just 20 years old. The brides health
was quite feeble, but she was in good spirits
and very cheerful. Mrs. P. will be 20 the 18th
inst. They have FIVE children now living. four
sons and one daughter; all married and residing
in Warren county, ILL.,, except Henry Paine,
who still lives in Lake county. Those in War
rem county, together with their families, were
present, and the occasion was social and joyous.

Adjournment of Congress.

The telegraph gives rather confused accoun
of what was done and what was not done dur
ing the closing hours. Most of the necessary
appropriation bills appear to have become laws
so that we trust no occasion exists for calling
an extra session of Congress, though the Pres
ident seems to have prepared Proclamation
for the anticipated emergency.
The miscellaneous appropriation bill passed
and contains a section which extends the
Treasury note law two years, though the loan
bill appears to have been lost. This will help
~. B." somewhat in his financial troubles. The
Coast Survey, Light Houses, survey of public
lands, and taking the next census, appear to be
provided for. Also the existing contracts for
carrying the mails to California via Panama and
Tehuantepec
The appropriation for the Ocean mail ser
vice. the Post Office Appropriation and the
Post Route bills, failed to become laws. The
Post Office bill appropriated about S2O, 200, 600.
This failure will probably cut short the Over
land routes. We are glad to record that the
Democratic policy of increasing Postage rates
was killed dead in the. House
With strong Democratic majOrities in both
branches of Congress, the session has been little
else but succession of Administration defeats
and humiliatiOns. The party has been disor-
ganized as well as demoralized, split up into all
sorts of factions, incapable of carrying any
measure as party. The President made eI-
traordinary demands in his regular message,
and has since repeated them. Noneshave been
granted. His Protectorates, Cuba millions,
command of army and navy to make war at
pleasure, loan bills, and tariff changes, have
been denied him, and by his party friends.-
Enormous Administration frauds and corrup-
tions have been exposed; and the Slavery agi-
tation evoked by the Executive anti-Ksnsas
TRADE, has ruled more fercely and more section
ally than ever in both branches Of Congress. A
new State has been admitted, but neither Ari-
zoua, Dakota, nor Jefferson have been organ
;zed as Territories. Was ever Administration
so exacting, so blundering, so imbecile, so pow
erty-stricken, and SO prOftless to the People of
the Union There are few indeed save office
holders and Office expectants who ''do it rev.
erenee."

pemocratIe Way of Doing Il.

So long as the Democracy held uncontrolled
sway in Cincinnati, the old mode of appointing
the Police was entirely satisfactory to the
party. But the sceptre baying partially depart
ed, more modern Democratic mode of dispen-
sing the patronage of Office has been devised
to meet the exigency bill offered by Mr.
Dobmeyer, one of the City Representatives, has
been forced through the House under the eau
Gus and previous question rule Of the dominant
party in that body, by a bare constitutional
majority, cOnferring the appointment and the
control of the Cincinnati Police upon Board
of Five Commissioners, and this Police Board
of Five is to be appointed by another Board of
Three, designated by the Legislature The
Mayor, whose term of office is about expir-
ing, and Judge Pruden and Mr.. McGibbons,
the two latter Democrats, are selected by the
Democratic House and probably will be by the
Democratic Senate, to elect Five Commission
ers, who are to control the Cincinnati Police
Department for FIVE years to come!
By the present law the Police Officers are
appointed by the Mayor, who is elected by, and
is responsible to, the people. The party advo-
Gates of the circumlOcutiOn plan to retain pat
ronage. claim that the bill is in no respect an
innovation, and is not anti Democratic in the
change proposed. The appointing power would
no longer be indebted to the Police for Office,
and policemen would no longer be politicians
instead of lcatckmen! They also modestly
claim that Democrats should put the model
Democratic Police mill in operation, as Repub-
lcans never succeeded well in running Demo
cratic machinesl
The bill is such piece Of party usurpation
as would have done credit TO the Kansas DEM
ocratic rufians in their most patent villainies
Outraging popular rights Still it has some re-
deeming features, for it abOlishes the office of
City Marshal, as useless in our municipalities
as the fifth wheel of coach, thereby saving
Cincinnati $4,000 10 $4,000 year; dpro-
vides for work house, much needed there, as
well as in other Ohio cities.

Christmas FrOIic ar the Mines.

The Pike Peak boys are jolly set-jolly as
men can be in the wilderness with their wives
and sweethearts thousand miles away.
They set apart Christmas as day for gene
raj reunion among the miners, and A. o. Nc
Grew, the Pennsylvania Printer who trundled
wheelbarrow all the way from the Alleghe-
mics to the Rocky Mountains, has written a
spirited description of the celebration to the
Omaha Times. Four chief cooks were ap-
pointed, and Chairman and Secretary. The
day was bright and glorious, and the numerous
company sat down to a fat miners bill of fare.
Hon. VIM Clancy presided. On his right
was Gen. Larimer, on his left DR.. Steinberger
Resolutions expressing full satisfaction with the
prospects for gold digging, and the general ap-
pearance of the country, were adopted; follow
ed by toasts and speeches very much after the
fashion of celebrations by people who live in
America The festivities wound up with an
evening dance, thus described:
An adjournment was effected to Auraria City,
which city was alive with an influx of miners,
some of whom were dressed in the most fantas-
tic and grotesque manner that an active imagi-
nation, and the application of the skins of wild
beasts, could possibly devise. In short time
an immense fire was blazing in the public
square, and Terpsichore answered to the voice
of Orpheus. Light hearts, merry countenan-
ces, and active feet, were soon in motion, and
the dance continued until midnight. Beneath
many rough exterior, were hearts that throb-
bed with pleasant thoughts of home. Groups
of Indians, with their squaws and papooses fill
ed up the background. It was picture that
wouli have contemplated with de-
light.

Relief of Grandson NeweIl--sInguInrC Case

Relief Of Grandson NeweIi--SIngular Case.
The General Assembly has passed bill for
the relief of Grandson Newell. Though of a
private character, it is not without some public
interest. When Jo. Smith located the Promised
Land in Kirkland, and with Sidney Rigdon built
the Temple and undertook to regulate the cur
rency of the Saints and the world by an issue
of Kirkland Bank shinplasters, Mr.. Newell
lacking faith in the legitimacy Of such pro-
ceedings commenced prosecutions against them'
and obtained judgments against each in favor
of the State. Smith and Rigdon went to Mis-
SCUM before collection could be made. MIR.
Newell expended several hundred dollars IN the
prosecution for which he has never been REIN
bursed, and the object of the bill is to assign to
him the judgments in favor of the State in or
der that he may levy on and sell the rickety old
Mormon Temple on Kirkland hill. This is the
substauce Of the claim as stated by the cores
pOpdent of the Sandusky Register.
