MIR. Douglas infant daughter, HELEN,
died at Washington on the fourth of
June, "for of such as she was, is the
kingdom of Heaven" in this, their
gloomy hour, when little child has
gone forth without touching tho thresh-
old, and left the home SO empty, 80 des-
olatc and the bereaved parents begin
to know how large a place that little
creature filled in their hearts, they have
the sincere sympathy of friends every
where.
But there is one thought, even at such
a time, that is not sad !: nothing ever
grows OLD in memory; the little girl
that died is an eternal child, and even
as she crept over the threshold Of Gods
gates ajar, at the beckoning of the Lord,
so ever in the heart her parting look,
with Heaven shining full upon her brow;
the beauty that the heart grew warm be-
holding, in ife's morning, when de VS.
we're on the world, and played the tru-
ant with some angel, remains untouched
by time, even as the unrent sky that let
the wanderer 10.
The bereavement which has fallen on
Senator Douglas is sensitivcly reflected
by the best citizens Of Washington and
the sympathy Of the fair with Mrs.
Douglas in the sad loss Of her little
daughter is extended and heartfelt.
The funeral took place on the 18th inst,
at noon. A large number of ladies' and
gentlemen were in attendance. P.eyi-
GUS to the departure Of the funeral cort-
cge from the residence of Judge Doug
les, beautiful exhortation was given by
the Rev. Mr.. Mcguire, the eminent
preacher. His words Of codsolation
were beautiful, and the words of tue
Savior, "sntfer little children to come un-
to me, and forbid them not" were ap-
piled in the most Christian, and conse-
queutly tho most comforting spirit.
The pall-bcarers were four bachelors, two
of whom, in respect for the Judge, were
Senators Messrs. Clingman of North
Carolina, and Anthony of Rhode Island.

altogether too late for Abolitionists TO
deny that any such right exists.
When the keokuk journal prattles
about "original rights" it commits the
common bluuder of all other Abolition
lists. The original rights of man, or the
rights Of man in . state of nature, when
he is completely isolated and before he
has entered Tito the social state arc one
thing; the rights of man living under a
Government aud 10 organized society
arc quito another. That needs no reas.
on'ng to support it, and the whole falla.
cy OF the journal and its Abolition CO.
AUDITORS consists in attributiug to man
living in community where the ueces.
sites aud interests Of his fellows have
imposed services, obligations and duties
upon him. the same rights and unre-
strained liberty be would have cpioyed
had he remained . solitary savage in the
woods.

jefferson VS.. Nettleton.

Mr.. Marvin, of st. Paul, arrived here by the
stage on Saturday night last, and on Tuesday
proceeded to Duluth, to take testimony in re
lation to the right of Mr.. Jefferson to occupy
the seat in the Minnesota House of Representa-.
tives, now held by Mr.. Nettleton. The only
question at issue in this matter was as to
whether Mr.. N. was a resident of Minnesota or
Wisconsin. Mr.. Jefferson set up that his oppo-
nent was resident of Superior, and attempts
to prove it by witnesses both here and on the
north shore; in this he has utterly failed,
his own witnesses having testified against him.
We did not expect any other result, for we do
not believe that man can be found in this
neighborhood, who would swear that Mr.. N.
did not reside in Minnesota.
The general impression here is, that Jefferson
never for one moment entertained the idea
that he could GUST Mr.. N. on any such grounds,
or that he had any rights in the matter, and
that he merely made the attempt in order to
draw the mileage and per diem, generally al.
lowed in such cases. Now, if the Republicans
in the Minnesota Legislature are sincere in
their professions of retrenchment and reform.
they have a fine opportunity to illustrate
them by refusing to him the mileage an0 per
diem. Superior Chronicle.
The Legislature seem to have entertained
the opinion advanced by the Chronicle, as
to the contestants motive in endeavoring
to displace Mr.. NErrLEroN. He got neither
mileage or per diem.

The Memorial of the Legislature of Mime.
ton of Fort Abercrombie at Graham's Point,
by suitable military force is necessary for the
protection of settlers in the valley of the Red
River of the North.
The establishment of post at Graham's
Point by the name of Fort Abercrombie, in
1858, appeared to have been the result of ma
ture elaboration and in view Of official reports
based on repeated explorations. Its location
was known to be in the midst of frontier
which divides the Chippewa and Sioux tribes
of Indians. and which was frequently traversed
by war parties of either tribe. Citizens of the
United States, native born and adopted, had
lawfully advanced into the fertile and inviting
valley of the Red River in the belief that their
lives and property would be secure. Many
serious Losses Of property were suffered by
some of those settlers previous to the establish
ment of Fort Abercrombie; and the important
travel to and from st. Joseph Con the Pembina
river) and Hudson's Bay Territory, was con-
siderably obstructed by Indian depredations.
The establishment of that post appeared to af-
ford valuable security to settlers, ss well as to
travel and the transportation of goods, and en-
couraged many more settlers to advance into
the Red River valley with their families and
their property. But the partial, and subse-
quently total abandonment of that post has
left the settlers exposed to frequent trespasses
by the Indians, snch as the obstruction and
larceny Of stock, and also to annoying intimi-
dations, and to personal violence. In the abb
sence Of military force at that post many Of
the settlers are now upwards of one hundred
and twenty miles from any means Of military
protection.
While it il not doubted that the actual SER
vice Of the State militia, Il required to suppFess
Indian depredations, would constitute valid
claim upon Congress for reimbursement to the
State. it has, however, been shown IN several
instances that economy cen be better promo
ted by defending the frontier with the military
force OF the United States. ssss ssoG s8G

We are informed that the persons discharged are
not from the Wholesale department, as The Herald
would imply, but from the retail department. The
inference would rather seem to be that the business
OF this extensive establishment has fallen off, not at
the South, but here. Is it because Mr.. Stewart
has put himself prominently forward as a supporter
of the great Southern DisuniOn Conspiracy that
the Northern friends of the Union are withdrawing
