Editors Pioneer and Democrat
3 Much for veal or woe to Minnesota de-
ponds upon the action of the present Legis-
lature. For the past two years we have
suffered under great embarrassments. Much
is to be attributed to bad legislation and bad
management in the conduct of our local
affairs. Wise legislation will do much to
remedy the evil. The Republican party
have now the power of the State, and it is
to be hoped that guided by the experience
of the past, it's members will calmly and
wisely proceed in the work of reform. Our
taxes have been to the present time oppres-
sive, affecting greatly the value of our real
estate, one of the great resources by which
we must expect to relieve ourselves from the
heavy burden of debt under which we groan.
Their reduction will greatly enhance the
value OF property and increase our resources.
Much of the prodigality in the past has pro-
ceeded from the peculiar state of the times
Everything bore an inflated value. The
expenses of living have been enormous, and
those who served the public in official capa-
cities had necessarily to be paid such salaries
and fees as bore proximate proportion to
the profits derived from other pursuits.
Whichever party had come into power at
the present time would have felt constrained
to advocate and accomplish reform. Mem
bers of both parties alike have felt the
weight of the burden, and would have in
sisted upon course of rigid economy. Our
opponents have now the power and are
pledged to reform. Should they conscien.
tiously proceed to redeem their pledges, it
is to be hoped that no factious opposition
will be made by our friends-such course
would not only be unjust but impolitic.
Let no embarrassments be thrown in the
way but should our opponents falter, let
them be reminded of their pledges and
warmly urged to redeem them. Gives.

The Minnesota Year Book, and Stat
Register.

In no State of the Union is so much
attention wasted on the local details of
physical economy and social science, as in
Minnesota and in no other has SO little
been done to organize and classify the facts
of our internal growth. In all European
countries, and in most of the States of this
Union, the study and generalization of sta
tistics is considered Of the first Importance,
and employs some of the leading minds of
every community. In young State like
ours-whose resources are imperfectly
known, and which depend for their devel-
opment mainly on being better known-the
authoritative exposition of the elements and
movements of our internal progress, is of
the very first Importance. 81
We are, therefore, glad to see that Mr..
JOSEPH A. WHEELocK--whose taste and
education seem to point out statistics as his
specially" and who has done more, in
the course Of his editorial career, than any
one else to bring order out of the chaos of
our public records-has undertaken to sup
ply want which journalists feel more keen
", perhaps, than any other class. Mr..
WHEELocK will be known to our citizens as
formerly the Editor of the st. Paul Adver-
tiser, and more recently as having been
connected with the unpolitical department
of this paper. His connection with this
journal, however, ceased sometime since
he having withdrawn entirely from editorial
pursuits, partly for the purpose Of recruiting
his health, but mostly for the sake of de-
voting himself exclusively to statistical
studies-a department in which his taste
and talents peculiarly fit him to excel.
From our acquaintance with MIR. WHEE-
LOCK, and our knowledge Of his habits and
requirements, we shall look forward to the
appearance Of The Minnesota Year Book,
with great interest. The time for its pub
LEGATION, we regret to say, will be delayed
for few weeks beyond that at first de-
signed, on account of the loss of portion

Z Helpers "Impending Crisis.'

On the first day of the session Mr.. CLARK,
member of Congress from Missouri, in
troduced the following resolution:
WHEREAS, Certain members of this House,
recommend the book hereinafter named; there
fore, @ @
Resolued, That the doctrines and sentiments
of certain book called 1.-THE Impending Crisis
of the South, and How to Meet It." purporting
to have been written by a. R. Helper, are in
cendiary and hostile to the domestic peace and
tranquility OF the country, and that no member
of this House who recommended or endorsed
it or the compend, is fit to be Speaker of the
House, 5si11e 500
- The book in question, was written by
H1NroN Rowan HELLER, native of North
Carolina, and is unquestionably of the most
incendiary character. 1t lays down the
programme of combined servile and agra
rian instruction in the South; and as the
first step thereto, proposes union between
the non-slaveholding whites and negroes
contemplates servile revolt, the expulsion
of the dominant class, and the confscation
of their property. HELPER, proposes the
following plan of operations
!. Thorough organization and independent
political action on the part of the non slave
holding whites of the South.
2. lneligibility of pr0-slavery Shareholders

clans; no fellowship with them in religion; no
affiliation with them in aociotv
4. No patronage to pro slavery merchants;
no guestship in slave-waiting hotels; no fees to
pro-slavery lawyers; no employment of pro
slavery physicians; no audience to pro slavery
parsons. a. gse
s. No more hiring of slaves by nonslave-
holders.
6. Abrupt discontinuance of subscription to
pr0.slavery newspapers.
T. The greatest possible encouragement to
free white labor. -, f -
1t was proposed last March, by certain
New York Republicans, headed by WEED
and GREELEY, to circulate 100000 copies
Of this work in the South - gratuitously;
and to carry out the scheme, a circular was
issued, endorsing the work, recommending
its circulation, and soliciting contributions.
This circular was signed by stuty-eight Re-
publican members of the present House
comprising every prominent Republican
representative. @
The adoption Of the resolution of Mr..
CLARK, therefore, will have peculiar sig.
nifcance; and we believe it will be adopted
by the votes OF the combined Democratic
and American members. The House, on
the 7th, refused to lay it on the table by
close vote.

Within the lsst twenty years there have
been three Instances of . long delay II the
organization Of the House Of Representa-
tives At Washington. In 1889 and 40,
toward the close Of Mr.. VAN BUazNs ad-
ministration, the House, which met early in
December, did not succeed il choosing .
Speaker until about the lst Of january.
The choice then fell upon r. MT. HUNTER,
now United States Senator from Vir-
GINA. but then serving 10 the House Of Rep
resentatives. It was his first session,
and be was entirely unknown to the coun
try. He was Southern State-rights
wing, and was elected BY the Wings and
the Democratic friends Of Mr.. CALHOUN,
Before the session was over, Mr.. HUNrER
joined the Democratic party, and supported
Mr.. VAN BUREN for President in the mem
orable " Hard-cider contest of 1910.
Again, in 1s4s and 80, there was long
delay in the organization. The candidates
for Speaker were r. @. WINTHROP, Wing,
of Massachusetts, and HOWELL OoBB
Democrat, Of Georgia, now Secretary Of the
Treasury. m
After balloting for three weeks it was
found impossible to elect by majority, so a
rule was adopted declaring that the person
who had the highest number of votes should
be elected whether it was majority of the
whole number of votes cast or not. Under
this rule Mr.. COBB. Democrat, Of Georgia,
was elected.
But the most remarkable instances of
delay was in 1855 and 1856. The House
Of Representatives, which convened in De-
cember, 1855, did not succeed in electing
Speaker until February, 1856, q period of
eleven or twelve weeks. Mr.. BANKS, Re-
publican, of Massachusetts, was then elected
under the plurality rule, similar To- that
adopted in 1850. He received one hundred
and three votes to one hundred cast for WIN.
AIKEN, Democrat, of South Carolina.
With these exceptions we believe there is
no instance in our Congressional history
where the House failed to organize the first
week Of the session. ~ ~
The Speaker is Q very important political
officer, and is worth contending for. He
has the appointment Of all the committees
of the House, and under the rules of Par
lia1nentary law in regard to the dispatch of
business, can, by his decision, have most
potent influence in determining the charac-
! ter of the legislation of the country.

Partizanship Run Mad.

From our Daily of Dec. 18th.
Hon. D. A. SECONDS, of Saint Anthony,
introduced into the House, yesterday, a res
olution, directing the Judiciary Committee
of that body to inquire into the power and
expediency Of the House preferring bill of
impeachment against the Lieutenant Gov
ernor. The offences thus sought to be pun
ished by impeachment, were alleged to be
perpetrated by that. officer in his official
character as President Of the Senate.
The animus of this resolution will be ap.
preciated, when it is recollected that the
constitution and laws, while they provide
in this manner for the punishment of vari-
GUS State officials, fail anywhere to make
the Lieutenant Governor amenable to such
proceeding. 1t is an attempt, therefore,
to override both the constitution and the
laws, in order to give vent to Republican
spite against Democratic officer.
The folly of the proceeding will be ac-
knowledged, when it is considered what the
pretended offence is, which it thus proposed
to punish. The offence consisted in certain
rulings and orders Of the President Of the
Senate, upon matters exclusively connected
with that body, and touching its member
ship and organization. These are subjects
exclusively under the control Of the Senate,
with which the House has no more right to
interfere, than it has with the membership
and organization of the British Parliament.
The Senate, under the constitution, possesses
exclusive power to punish its own members,
for any infringement upon its rules, or any
usurpation of authority. The Lieutenant
Governor, as President of the Senate, is q
legislative officer, and as such, amenable to
that body, and to that alone, for any inn
proper or corrupt practice. BE is equally
the subject Of impeachment with the Speaker
of the House for any violation of legislative
duty, and not more so. The two persons, in
their legislative capacities, rights, duties, and
responsibilities, stand on precisely the same
footing, except that the President of the
Senate could not be liable, as the Speaker
might be. to expulsion from the body over
which be presides. ~ 49,
These two facts- that the officer 10 ques-
ton Is not amensble to impeachment, and
that the offences complained 81 are not the

The result Of the vote in the North part
of the Territory of Dakota, as we announced
few weeks ago, indicated the election of
Hon. j.. p. KIDDER as the Delegate to
Congress. We are now enabled to say that
our prediction is veri6ed'hy recent news d.
rect from Sioux Falls City. The votes
having been returned from all parts Of the
Territory, it appears that Gov. K1DDER is
elected by a very large majority, be having
received an almost unanimous vote.

Delegates to the State Convention.

To the Editors of the Pioneer and Democrat.
Allow me through the medium of your
columns to call the attention of the Demo-
cracy of Minnesota to subject, at this
time, of much Importance: namely, the
selection Of Delegates to the National Con-
vention to be held at Charleston.
The Democratic party at the present
time is the Conservative party of the coun-
try, and the friend par excellence of the
Union of the States.
Slavery is repugnant to the feelings of
the great mass of Northern men of both
parties. Its further spread is deprecated.
Our Southern brethren entertain different
views in regard to the question. This ex-
citing subject can only be settled by COM
promise. People of both sections must be
prepared to yield something for the public
good. In this spirit the Democracy gener-
ally endorse the views of Senator DOUGLAS
in regard to Popular Sovereignty. To
greater extent they cannot go, and the
leaders of the party cannot induce the
masses to march point beyond. Our
Southern friends, believe, are generally
prepared to meet US upon this ground, con.
sidering, however, that they, too, are yield
ing something of strict right in the spirit of
compromise.
Unfortunately, many entertaining ex.
IRENE views are to be found in both Sec
lions of the country-men who would be
gratifed to see the Union dissolved, in
order to advance their own selfish ends.
Among those entertaining conservative
views, scarcely dissenting opinion exists as
to the candidate to be put forward at
Charleston. Senator DOUGLAS is their de.
cided choice, and if nominated will be elected.
l, for one believe, no other Democrat can be.
1t cannot be denied that the Administration
is opposed to him, and its Influence will be
strongly exerted to procure his defeat.
Those holding Office under it, generally men
of influence, energy, and great political in
fuence and sagacity, will leave no stone un-
turned to accomplish their purpose. There
are many such within our own state, who
are silently but energetically at work.
Every means which their ingenuity can de-
wise, will be brought to bear in order to
carry their ends. We must not rely too
much on our numerical strength. Our
friends must be vigilant. None should be
elected as delegates to the State Conven-
ton, in January, who are not known to be
decided friends Of Mr.. DOUGLAS. Those
holding Office under the Administration
should be excluded, and their suggestions
even when protesting friendly views, should
be looked upon With suspicion. It is to be
hoped that every friend of the Union will
make it a point, whatever the sacrifice, to
attend the. primary meetings, and see that
none but true men shall be selected for the
convention. The Unior is in greater peril
than it has ever been.
Should the Republican party, led on as
it will be at the coming election, by the
PRONUNCIATION Of the "Higher Law and
eIrrepressible Conflict" doctrine, the Union
will, in all human possibility, be forcibly
dissolved, and the country become the thea
tire Of bloody civil war,to cease, God alone
knows when. 500 ANf1- LEcoMProN.

The Non-Committal scheme.

p lss
We notice that the non-committal dodge
is adopted by the Administration influence
all over the country, asa means for prevent
ing an expression of the DOUGLAS sentiment
which pervades the masses OF the Demo-
cracy everywhere. 1t is dodge which is
pretty thoroughly understood, however, and
so produces little or no injury. The masses
Of the party, who prefer DouoLAs for the
Presidency, can't appreciate the virtue Of
this new idea Of acting the part of dumb
men, and keeping their mouths closed, on a
subject Of the most vital Importance to the
country and the party and they see, natur-
ally enough. through the Aimsy veil which
the Buchauanites hang before. their eyes,
and discover. that their plea for harmony, is
only an indirect and cowardly stab at
the success of DouaLAs, and consequent
~ q stab at the success Of the Dem
aocrscy in 1860. If the adherents Of b.
caAsAH don't like DOUGLAS, why don't they
present q better candidate, in manly sort

dent, and who would stand a better chance

their preferences among the candidates now
