The grounds upon which the Catholic
Cathedral is situated have been vastly i'm
proved the past season, under the direction
of Bishop Grace. The Cathedral itself has
been made comfortable by the introduction
of four large furnaces in the basement for
heating. Gas has also been introduced,
which very much improves the looks of the
interior of the edi6ce when 1t is illuminated
for the evening services. The old brick
church has been improved by porch in
front, and in some other respects. A neat
fence is also being constructed around the
whole block occupied by the church build
ings.
The greatest improvement, however, is
the elegant residence Of the Bishop, on sixth
street, between the Cathedral and the old
brick church. 1t is undoubtedly the finest
house in the city, in its architecture, mater
ial and workmanship, although it was built
at moderate cost. There is an air of So
lidity and permanence about it, that is in
striking contrast with the ephemeral struc.
lures that prevail in new countries.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT CoURr-1N
CHANcERY-The following opinion of JUS
tice Nelson in the cause Of Israel G. Lash
vs. John Mcleod, was filed November, Is,
1860. 1t will be read with interest by
large class of persons in this State:
The decree as to sale in this case must con.
form to the law of this State in existence at
the time the mortgage was entered into. We
feel disposed to recognize, in all cases, the
right of the State Legislature to prescribe the
conditions and remedies governing contracts OF
real estate. The law of 1860, "To regulate the.
foreclosure of real estate" has no application
to this case. This mortgage was executed some
ten months prior to the adoption of this law,
and the decree as to sale must be made in &C.
cordance with the law of 1858, then in exist.
ence.
The Supreme Court Of the q. s., in the case Of
Bronson vs.. Kinzie, Howard, 3ll, have clearly
settled this point. Chief Justice fancy who
delivered the opinion of the Court after fully
reviewing the whole case, says: "As concerns
the obligations of the contract, they depend
upon the laws of Illinois as they stood at the
tune the mortgage deed scas executed.
And the rights which the mortgage acquired
depended upon The laws OF that State. In
other words, the existing laws OF Illinois ere.
ated and defined the legal and equitable obi.
cations of the mortgage contract.
When this contract was made, no statute had
been passed by the State changing the rules OF
law and equity in relation to contract OF this
kind. They were the laws of Illinois
at the time, and therefore entered into the
contract and formed part of it without any
express stipulation in the deed. Mortgages
made since the passage of these laws must be
governed by Them"
The report of the Master in Chancery sets
forth that the property is indivisible, and can
not be sold in parcels. The whole of the
property, therefore, must be sold to satisfy the
whole debt. There will be no replacement of
interest, as the debt will be the principal sum,
specified in the mortgage and interest at the
time of the sale.
The Clerk of this Court, as er o6icio Master
in Chancery upon the sale, will give certifi-
cate in his official character, to the purchaser,
emitting him to q deed barring all right and
equity Of redemption at the expiration of one
year from the time of the sale, unless the
property is redeemed in accordance with the
State law of 1858. The mortgage or purchaser
will be entitled to the possession of the mort.
gagged property-unless II per cent of the
whole debt is rendered and paid by the mort
gagOr within eight days after the sale.

ST. PAUL.-The citizens of st. Paul have
marked characteristics, which are often hap
ply sketched by strangers. In early days
they were often charged with being the fast
est community in the country, and dismal
prophesies were made of corresponding de.
preston, when the bubble of speculation
burst, which all were chasing. The time
came at last, and many were bowed down,
but only temporarily. Some went away
disheartened, and sought other fields of la
Dor and business, but it is noticeable fact
that they have nearly all returned again,
regretting that they were induced to leave,
and giving as the result of their experience
the credit to st. Paul of being the most en-
terprising and progressive city in the west.
The editor of the Sank Rapids paper has
lately paid us visit and says:
St. Paul is wonderful place. 1t is unique
ID more ways than one. No matter what banks
do. or Wall street determines, St. Paul will 90
ahead. They will build great five-story stone
houses. They will work and speculate, and
prosper, no matter whether there is any mo.
ney ia the country. or not. The city, we dare
say. has more of the Young America in it than
any other this side of California. Her business
men are afraid of Lothing. They stop at moth.

can't do one thing they are bound to do anoth.

to be accomplished, it must be. Hard times
can't be helped, but the block must go up.
money or no money. 1t is an indomitable viii
that does all. 1t is courage and hope and work
that prevails everywhere, and pervades every
thing in st. Paul. Her merchant Houses are
princely.

We believe 10 calling things by their
right names. People who reside at dis.
tance often take the most unwarrantable
liberties with the photography of the names
of places in this State. We speak here
more with reference to the name of our
goodly city. From the remotest period in
its history, even from the time whereof the
memory of man runneth not back to the
contrary, the last letter has been ], as can
be proved from the Scriptures, copy of
which we would like to place in the bands
of every sinner. Some of our eastern friends,
to make the name of this city correspond

it st. Pauls, while others persist in directing
letters to St. Pauls, Minnesota Territory"

FINANcIAL.-There has been some excite
ment relative to the probable depreciation
of the stocks upon which the issues Of the
Illinois and Wisconsin banks are based.
But the fact that these bonds are secured
by the credit of States that are not tainted
with secession will probably prevent great
depreciation.
Exchange on New York is from three to
five per cent. On St. Louis and Chicago,
at old rates.
In St. Louis, Illinois and Wisconsin cur
rency is at three per cent. discount, and is
only received on deposit, subject to be
drawn against in the same currency.
The prompt manner in which the issues
from the Southern banks have been re-
deemed by the bankers who put the cur
rency in circulation, has tended to restore
confidence, and it is received as readily as
any other by our merchants.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
CORw1N LINCOLN sPOLICY.

Corresp, rdenca Of the Herald.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ID.
Gov. Corwin authorizes denial of the
sensation dispatches representing that he is
Lincoln s spokesman, or that he has in any
way given publicity to Mr.. Lincoln's views.
He states that he is not responsible for Mr..
Lincoln's sentiments, and thinks, in COM
mon with others, that it would be highly
impolitic for Lincoln to make any public
avowal of his policy before the vote Of the
electoral college is cast. Until that vote is
cast, he is not the President elect.
Mr.. Corwin does not doubt but that Mr..
Lincoln will fulfill his oath to support the
Constitution to the letter, and that there
fore there is no necessity for this useless
speculation respecting his policy. The fact
is, Mr.. Lincoln has not indicated his views
of the crisis to any one.
Gov. Medary has just arrived from Kan
sas, and says that, while people there will
suffer with great Inconvenience from the
failure of the crops, there is no actual want;
and that the reports to the contrary are
mere exaggerations. The people will be
obliged to 60 out of the territory to get pro-
visions, but no suffering will ensue in con.
sequence.
A rumor prevails here to the effect that
the President subscribes to the doctrine Of
state rights, as promulgated at the extreme
south. Not little modifying is it to know
that but one postmaster in South Carolina
has signified bis intention to abandon bis
post, since it is usually admitted that post.
masters exist about ss near the popular
heart as any other functionaries.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press.
Systematic attempts are being made by
various combinations in this city and in
Baltimore, to create the impression that it
is the intention of southern merchants and
dealers to repudiate their Northern obliga-
tions. The fact that most of the southern
Railroads are indebted to the North, and
that large amount Of money is due from
the former to the latter, so far from inspir-
ing disposition on the part of honest men
in the slave States to secede, is reason
why they take ground against secession.
Nothing will do more to defeat the plans of
the disunionists than the sensibiIity Of the
gentlemen of the South to avoid the dis
grace of reputation. They may be ready
to retaliate in aoy other way upon the free
States, but they Indignantly refuse to dis
honor their honest debts.

The report that the Southern States were

of the election of Lincoln produced but
little effect.
ELECTION RETURNS. The returns from
the central counties foot up as follows :
Douglas 3,345 Lincoln IA ,342 Breckin-
ridge 1888; Bell 1925. The vote Of the
State will probably exceed 100000. San
Francisco gave Lincoln over 5000 majority.
This majority is being gradually reduced as
returns come in from the mountains, and
there seems every probability that Douglas
has carried the State. The peoples reform
ticket in San Francisco, has probably been
elected.
LATER BY TELEGRAPH TO CHURCHILL.
SAN Francisco, Nov. s.
The entire number of votes returned from
the State thus far is 76,72O-of these Lin
coin has 27,058, Douglas 24,422, Breckin.
ridge 20,638; Bell, 1902. Lincoln ahead
Of Douglas 1886. Lincoln's vote surprises
the best of politicians, but still Douglas
chances are considered the best.
The Legislature is probably Douglas, who
has majority over both Lincoln and Brock
inridge in each house, thus securing sufi-
cient strength to elect Douglas Senator
to succeed Gwin.
OREGoN.-Account from Oregon to lst
of November, shows that the prospects are
in favor of Lincoln carrying the State.
Great numbers of Douglas Democrats have
gone over to the Republicans, leaving the
Breckenridge wing of the Democracy
stronger than the Douglas party. In con-
sequence of the late Indian massacre on the
overland emigration route, Capt. Dent, Of
the 9th Infantry, bad been ordered to take
the field from Fort Walla Walla, with a
force of 100 infantry and dragons, who
were on the march into the Snake Indian
territory.

HONESTY Is THE BEST Policy. The
man who commences career of crime
never knows where to stop. There is, in
fact, no stopping place in such career.
Like begets like the world over. A conta-
gious disease, or epidemic, makes its ap-
pearance in the community, and is only
stayed by the efficacy Of some newly.discov-
cred remedy, all powerful to cure, or reaches
its terminus only when its victims have all
disappeared. The little rivulet that takes
its rise from the solitary spring in some far
off mountain gorge cannot be checked in
its course, but will pursue its way to the
great ocean in spite of all the barriers that
can be raised against it. AS it flows on it
gathers in volume, flows swifter, grows
wider and deeper, until Its course becomes
irresistible and overwhelming. Men never
become great rascals all of q sudden"
The leprosy does not cover the body in the
course of single hour or day. AT first it
excites no alarm. A little red spot, not
bigger than the head of pin, makes its
appearance, and days must elapse before
its precise character can be determined.
But watch it closely and see how certainly
it extends until its victim is given over to
the Lazaretto. The career of the criminal
is analogous to examples cited above.
Men become bold and daring in crime as
their progress is marked with success and
devoid OF suspicion. At first they move
cautiously-weighing carefully all the
chances and consequences, but taking pains
and securing method by which to extri-
cate themselves at their own set time. That
they often succeed in their plans, and for
long time escape suspicion and detection,
needs no confirmation from US; for instances
in our own midst have often transpired
which have fallen with stunning effect upon
the community.
In tracing out the antecedents of the
Lumsdens, the Prestons and the Grays, our
only establishment is how men like these
could so long hold up their heads in a
community like ours. They certainly acted
we'll their part. But the hour came when
their career had to terminate, as it will come
to any and all others who have commenced
similar course. The man who to-day
(if any such there be) stands guilty of a
forgery, although no one may know it but
himself, has advanced step too far, and it
is too late to retrace the steps be has taken.
Murder will out, and bis own conscience
will burn his brain, until by word or act
he will be made to speak out, and the CON-
munity will know what manner of man he
is. A single false step leads-God alone
knows where. Young man, to whom
situation of trust or responsibility has been
confided, think of this. Necessity is hard
taskmaster, but never let its temptations
push you to commit a wrong act. Remem-
Der that under all circumstances and through
all life's trials HONESTY IS THE BEST
POLICY" Act with this trite saying as
your motto, and you are safe.

We have reason to believe that some people

people there were web-footed and water
their native element-that he had been
known to swim across Lake Como under
water-and give many other remarkable
aquatic exploits of the deceased. The class
of people who believe such twaddIe ARE firmly
satisfied that Mrs. Bilansky was never hung
by the neck until she was dead, but was
resuscitated and escaped over to Wisconsin
with Walker, her nephew and supposed
paramour. They do not believe that the
earth is round, because if it was they would
slide off its side into hell, or some other
metaphysical region, unless they had claws
to their feet to hold on. They rely on sign
and dream-books, and discard all new dis
coveries in natural science. If they had
lived two hundred years ago, they would
have believed in witchcraft.
