important DecisiOn--The Three Years
Redemption Law Sustained by the
Supreme Court.

We print in another part of this weeks
paper the opinion of the Supreme Court,
by Chief Justice EMMETT, affirming the
consti'utionaliIy of the Three Years Re-
demption Law. This decision was delivered
in the case of HEYwARD VS.. JUDD, appealed
from the District Court of Ramsey County,
in which the law had been decided uncon-
stitutional. A great deal of interest has
been manifested in regard to the decision of
our Supreme Court upon this law; but
whatever may be thought of the process of
reasoning by which the Court arrives at
the conclusions set forth, there can be no
doubt but that the decision will be hailed
with delight by the people.
In the United States Court, in this State,
the law is treated as nullity, having been
declared unconstitutional by Judge NELSON
in November last. 1t will thus be seen that
nonresident creditors enjoy decided ad-
vantage over creditors resident in the State,
as the former class can obtain relief in the
Federal Court, while the latter are confined
to the State tribunals.

the bud. "The superintendency of his
incumbency," in that case, may not prove
to be "a salaried laziness" any more than
the Indian Office was but he will be sus>
tanned in his labors by the proud conscious
ness of doing his duty in circumstances of
the greatest peril. Let Representative
BANNING move the matter in the Legisla-
ture. He will not, probably, be over
burthened with railroad legislation this
winter and if he can aid in extricating
Minnesota from the pifering paws of the
British Lion, he will have achieved glory
second only to that which he won when he
blotted from the map of the State the name
of the traitorous TooMBs.

Negro Population in New York City.

The New York Herald of the 25th gives
the census returns of that city so far as the
negro population is concerned. The re-
turns in 1850 showed population Of 49,
83l. In 1860 there were 1885. De-
crease in ten years 3,0l6.
Of the colored population in 1850, 1896
were mulattoes. In 1860 there were 1908
mulattoes. 1t will thus be seen thot while
there is decrease in the black population
of 1926, the mulattoes have only decreased
So. Of the whole 10000 colered popula,
ton, there are but s. who own real estate
valued at $3.50 and upwards-four of whom
have liens upon their property, reducing
the value b, low $3.50, and ten are women
reducing the number entitled to vote to 81.
Of the whole population, l,165 are SER
wants CSC walters; GIL washerwomen
SIS laborers; 252 cooks, 243 porters; 120
coachmen III whitewashers 81 cham
bermaids; "a chimney sweeps, and G,99l
in other occupations. By the census re-
turns we find the great body of the colored
population servants or walters; scarcely
dozen of them are engaged in any of the
higher pursuits of life; no mechanics or
artists among their number. Take the
same number of blacks in any section of the
slave states, and you will find a greater
number of mechanics than you will among
our free negroes.
The Herald adds:
We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that the
true position of the negro in the United States
is one of servtude. As slave he is happy
and contented, as freeman despised and con-
temned. Labor, 10 the Northern States, is the
property of the white man and women. Stern
necessity is driving the black race from every
honorable field of employment among US. The
field of labor for the negro is gradually but
certainly growing narrower and narrower.
Forty years ago negroes carried the hod, were
our BARRIERS and shoeblacks, and had variety
of occupations that the necessities of the white
laborer, native born, Irish and German, have
compelled the black man and woman to aban-
don. Colored society in this city offers wide
field for philosophical reflection that in the
Fifth ward is perfect brOthel.
There are thirty~two white women living
with negroes as husband and wife, but not
one white man has been married to a negro
woman. Of the thirty-two white women
whose husbands are black, eighteen were
born 10 Ireland, five in New York, three in
England, two in Scotland, one in Virginia,
one in Delaware, and one at sea. They are
generally young women, and but lately mar.
ried-some ten of them this year, and not
one having been married ten years.

How Lincoln is to be Inaugurated

How Lincoln is to be Inaugurated.
The editor of the New York Eapress,
who is now in Washington, thus writes to
that paper from the Capital City. He
says:
"The city begins to look more and more
like an encampment. The President elect,
it is clear, is to have such an Inauguration
as none of his predecessors ever had-in
artillery, light and heavy dragons, and in
fautry. Republcanism thus begins its
necessary advent. The less Congress is
disposed to accept Crittenden,' the more
need of guns, rifles, dragons, artillery. So
reasons, doubtless, General Scott, the anspi.
ration of all these scenes.
"The army quarter-masters have just
entered into contract for barracks for one
hundred men near the Capital, and for sta
bles for one hundred and twenty five hor>
ses. These are to be for the light artillery;
and, as Lincoln takes the oath in the front
of the Capitol, the grinning artillery will
be ready to rattle grape, Unnecessary, among
the gaping lockers on. Pleasant inaugu-
ration day Nice time for women, fashion
and crinOline
General Scott is making this city his
headquarters and the headquarters of the
United States Army. The quarters of his
Aids-de- Camp are engaged, and all, in all
respects. are to be ready, as Justice fancy
administers the oath, to do their duty with
grape if necessary"
Why cannot Congress dispense those SOL
diers. and restore peace by adopting the
Crttenden Compromise?
