AN AWKWARD RECORD.

1t " Ii be remembered that near the close of the
struggle for Speaker of the present House, the votes
of allthe Buchanan Democrats, except Messrs Allen
OF Ohio and Holman Of Indiana, were concentrated
on Mr.. w. N. II. SMITH of N. G. (American),
carrying him up to ll2, which all but elected him.
Mr. q. b. Adran of N. j., with Mr.. J. G..
Davis of Ind, and some other Anti Lecompton
Democrats, refused to unite on Mr.. Smith, for
which they have been called to account by some of
their constituents Mr.. Adrain, in response TO an
inquiry, has written the following letter which we
commend to the special attention of the Adopted
Citizens who elected Msssrs John Cochrane, w.
b. Maclay, Dan. Z. Sickles. Thomas B. Florence,
&C., to Congress:

The House yesterday passed-by the triumphant
vote of I34 Yeas to 70 Nays-he bill providing for
the ADMISSION OF KANSAS as a State under the
(Free) Constitution framed at Wyandot last Sum-
mer. Mr.. English of English-bin notoriety, voted
Nay, but very few Democrats from Free States saw
III 10 do likewise. Mr.. Grow closed the debate in
forcible and concliatory argument for Admission.
This is the third bill which has passed the House
providing for the Admission of Kansas; the first
1857 admitted her under the Topeka Constitution,
and was passed by one majority. The Senate re-
iected it by an overwhelming vote. The second
1e5s) offered to admit her under the Lecompton
(sIaye) Constitution; but the People OF Kansas
spurned the proposal by an overwhelming vote. The
Wyandot Constitution has already been accepted
by them, and State officers with Legislature
chosen under it, but all remain in allegiance, await
ing the action Of Congress. We believe the Senate
will concur with the House, though tardily and
with wry-faced reluctance. We trust, however,
that the present Session viii not close without wit
Messing the contamination 80 long struggled for and
30 devoutly wished.

We trust no reader will skip the interesting de-
bate in the Senate yesterday on the Homestead BILL
Though none but Democrats participated in 1.-THE
Republicans sitting silent in order to obtain vote
at the earliest moment-the remarks of Messrs. A.
johnson, Mason, Pugh, and WigfaD viii be found
instructive and interesting. The fact that the Re-
pubEcans are in favor of the Homestead bill was
used by Messrs Mason and Wigfsll as an argument
against the measure. There is reason to expect
that the main question may be reached and the fate
of the bill may be decided next week.

We have private letters by the last steamer from
California backing the largest stories yet todd of the
richness of the WashOe Carson Valley Silver
Mines. One gentleman who has just visited the
new placer says: WashOe is to California what
California has been to the other States New
discoveries are reported almost daily, and the ex-
element in San Francisco runs very high. There
can be no rational doubt that the eastern slope Of
the Sierra Nevada will speedily be prospected for
hundreds of miles north and south of Carson Valley,
with strong probabilities of profitable results. An
increased demand for labor in California is not I'M
likely to result from these Developments.

The bill providing for the construction of a new
City Hall in Madison Square last evening passed
the Senate by decisive vote. We cannot SO much
blame the Senators from the Rural Districts for &C.
ceding on this question to the unanimous wish of
their colleagues from the City; yet we must deeply
regret the passage of this bill If our City really
wants new City Hall on Madison Square, let her
Councils formally vote SO, and apply in due form to
the LIE gisature for authority to construct it. The
clandestine mode in which this project is being
fastened on our City seems to us equally objection
able with TIE scheme itself.

IS The Little Giant.0

When the Postmaster at st. Peter, in
obedience to the orders of Senator RICE,
bolted the Democratic nominations, the
party in Nicollet county was left without
an organ. We are glad TO see that the
want has been supplied in the publication
of the Little GIANT" at st. Peter. The
first number is before US, and a spirited sheet
it is, evidently under able editorial control.
It supports DOUGLAS and JOHNSON with
earnestness and ability. We are glad too,
that the paper is receiving liberal encour-
agement, throughout the Minnesota Valley.
Let the Democracy of that portion of the
State labor to extend its circulation to
thousands. 1t is printed at the low rate of
twenty-five cents for the canvass, or five
copies for one dollar. G. S. BRYANT is
editor, and S. w. SMITH publisher.

Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln.

Henry Clay and Abraham AAneOms
We commence the publication this week,
of a lengthy and important political
paper, being a we'll prepared comparison of
the principles Of HENRY CLAY and ABE
LINCOLN. We copy it from the St. Louis
Republicans. As campaign document it
will prove of great value, and we therefore
propose to print an edition Of it in PAM
phlet form. AS long as this article is, it
should be read by every Wing and fair
minded man in the land. AS will be seen,
it has been prepared with great care, and
the record is cited for every position stated.
So far from Mr.. LINCOLN holding any opin-
ion or principle in common with Mr.. CLAY,
it is in proof that they agreed in nothing
and while one is set down as illiberal, mar
row minded, fanatical, sectional and disloyal
to the Union, the other was manly, gener-
Gus, patriotic, and at all times, and under
all circumstances, the upholder and defender
of the Union. 1t seems, indeed, wonderful,
that LINCOLN and CLAY should have been
at any time associated in the mind of any
man, when the opposite elements and char
acteristics of the two men are considered.
We again repeat the hope that this record
may be read by every honest and fairminded
voter in the land.

The Population Of St. Paul and OF
Minnesota.


The population of Saint Paul, by the
census just completed, we understand is
about 10000; and of Ramsey county,
about $4,000. There has been an in
crease in the county, but falling off in the
city, since 1857. During the past three
years, we believe three thousand people, re.
garded as residents, have left this city, but
in their stead, we have received an addition
of one thousand or fifteen hundred. Those
who have left are mostly spectators, real
estate agents, sharpers, and day laborers.
The present population of St. Paul, we re-
gard as a permanent population. The fu-
ture will show steady growth; not, of
course, like that of 1886, but growth
which will ensure substantial prosperity,
and rapid increase in all departments of
business.
The population of the State will run be-
tween l75,OOO and 100000. 1t is doubt
full whether there will be enough to entitle
us to two representatives in Congress, as
the ratio will probably be increased from
$4,000, the present number, to 10000.

Breckinridge BuncOmbe.

A fair specimen of the manner in which
BRECKENRIDGE capital is manufactured, is
found in a letter from " a Democrat writing
from St. Paul." which the New York Her.
aid thinks of sufficient consequence to tele-
graph from Washington for its columns.
This letter is of date the 10th July, and
says:
The nomination of Breckenridge and Lane is
gaining in favor every day. Although l anti.
cipated much strength for them here, they are
stronger than l supposed. A reaction against
Douglas and for Breckenridge and Lane, has
commenced, and it is far reaching and wide
spread. 1t is my deliberate judgment that the
Rreckinridge ticket will get larger vote than
the Douglas ticket in Minnesota.
When we say that no man of sense pre-.
tends to believe that BRECKENRIDGE can poll
FIVE hundred votes throughout the entire
State, it will be appreciated that the
deliberate judgment" of this letter writer
is valuable article.

Dem.erauc Meeting In Scott County.
Hon. A. G. CHATF1ELD and Judge Mac

Hon. A. G. CHATFIELD and Judge Mac
DONALD addressed large Democratic
meeting at Belle PLANE, on the 3lst ult.
At the same time a Democratic club was
organized, with G. l.. SLY as President j.
ONeil and F. J. Whitlock as Vice Presi-
dents; P. S. M'Donald, Secretary M.
Hanft, Treasurer; F. V. Hyderstadt, }. l..
M'Donald and R. A. Irwin, Executive Com
mittee. Among the resolutions adopted
we're the following:
RESOLVED, That we deprecate and repudiate
the action of the present administration in its
war upon Judge DOuglas-its veto of the Home
stead bill-the bringing of the land into mar
ket and that the conduct Of the administra-
ton and its cringing miniOns in attempting to
deceive the people, by putting in nomination
bogus Democratic ticket merits only the con.
tempt of every member of the Democratic
party.
RESOLVED, That we pledge ourselves to sup
port no man for any Office whatever who is not
unequivOcally pledged to the support of Ste
phen A. Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson as
the only true candidates of the Democratic
party.
RESOLVED, That Henry M. Rice has, by his
dishonest, demagogical, vacilating and traitor.
GUS course since he has been elected to the
office of United States Senator, forfeited all
claim to the respect and confidence Of the Dem
ocratic party of Minnesota.
Before Senator RICE sold out to the ADJ
ministration, in every township in the State
the mention of his name created enthusiasm
among Democrats, and even Republicans
applauded him for his manly and consistent
course. But now, he is obnoxious to all
classes Of men, and without disinterested
defender of his political career, in Minneso-
ia. May such always be the fate of men
who betray the people.

The PROPOSED CHIPPEWA TREATY.
Commissioner Greenwood is expected to
arrive in st. Paul on the Goth inst, for the
purpose of treating with the Chippewa In
dams for the remainder of their lands in
Minnesota and Dacotah. The treaty will
probably be held about the first of Septem-
Der at the mouth of the Red River, on the
Red River of the North. The negotiating
parties on the part of the United States will
be Mr.. Greenwood, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs at Washington, and Major Cullen,
our Superintendent here in Minnesota.
Major Cullen and Mr.. Bowles arrived on
Saturday from Bayfield,, Lake Superior.
They drove through in light buggy, and
without any difficulty whatever.

RETURNED Pixies PEAKERs.-Minnesot

RETURNED Pixies PEAKERs.-Minnesota
lost many good citizens last spring, by at.
tacks of the Pixies Peak fever, but we are
glad to know that there is every prospect
of their return, this fall, with a vastly in
creased appreciation Of the advantages of
our own State. The Mankato Independent
says that letters have been received in that
city from Ex-senator EVANS who left for
Pixies Peak in the spring, with party of
men. Mr.. E. writes from point some
forty or fifty miles from Denver City. He
writes discouragipgly of mining prospects.
Large numbers of the disappointed Pixies
Peakers were going to California--three
hundred teams having passed given point,
for that destination, in one day. Mr.. Evans
may be expected to return to Minnesota
early in the fall.

ddstry, he might soon put his paper in q
position where it could not be affected by
the popularity of other publications, and
where be could look with complacency, even
upon the addition of another hundred or
two to our list among bis townsmen, and
without feeling any impulse to ventilate b is
jealousy, and thus expose his weakness, and
10 that way to bring reproach upon himself
and upon the profession which he has capa-
ity to elevate and adorn.

CENSUS ITEMs.-The editor of the Waba-
shaw Journal was the "census man" of that
county. He says its population is about
1900. In 1857, the county numbered
about 5000. This indicates an increase
of 1890 in three years. In 1850, the pop.
ulation of that county was only 24O, and
the county then embraced the whole of the
State South and west OF Hastings. In the
same territory there is now over 10000
inhabitants! The population of the city of
Wabashaw is about 1000; Lake City, 1854;
Plainview, $40; Mazeppa, 534; Zumbro,
443; Mt. Pleasant, $40; Clifford, 357 !;
Elgin, $50; Chester, 1873.
