ASise i'll Gold.

Gold has gone up to 2414 In conse-
Quence of JacobiDical bill introduced into
the House by Mr.. STEVENS to prohibit the
reception of greenbacks at a less rate than
gold-or the sale of gold at a higher rate
than greenbacks will bring. After the ex-
perience of last winter we had hoped no
more attempts would be made to iegslate
against the immutable laws Of finance and
trade. Congress might as well try to turn
northward the current of the Mississippi,
as to compel people to obey such an act as
that proposed by Mr. STEVENS. In the
tirre of the French revolution it was Or
dered that assignats should be received
the same as gold. and people were
brought to tho guilotine for refusing
to give up their coin in exchange for them,
but after g while the law was entirely
disregarded. If this bill is q specimen 0;
what we shall have from the present ses-
sion Of Congress, the sooner q final adj
journment takes place the better it will lie
! for the reputation of its members aud the
| welfare of the country.

0. BRowN, Of the Fasibault Republican
discourses at some length on the candi.
dates for United States Senator. he
thinks Gov. MILLER "cant possibly be
spared from bis present position; We
should have nobody in that case to issue
our thanksgiving and other proclamations "
BROWN says Southern Minnesota will insist
on having the Senator Of the other cam
dilates BROWN says:
Wilkinson, the present incumbent, is doubt
less willing to endure another six years trial
in the furnace if his friends desire it OF him,
and We think he would do quite as well as
Gov. Miller. He has infinitely more talent. if
he is not quite as devotional. Window it is
SAID is willing 10 be elevated 20 higher state
of susaring for his country if deemed necessary
by his friends.
Mr. Swift of St. Peter Is also in the hands of
his friends, and like clay in the hands of the
potter ready to be moulded into the senator il
deemed essential to the good of the country.
He Is an educated gentlemanly man but we
don't think in the present emergency he IL the
best man for that place, or stands much chance
TO get it.
Dan Norton of Winons is the best man we
have heard named in connection with the Of
flee, and we believe would represent the State
faithfully in the u. 8. Senate if elected, but
among 90 many candidates it is hard for one
out of the magic circle to calculate chances.

Presidential wit.

A Washington correspondent Of the St.
Paul Press gives the public two jokes at
Washington No. that will greatly add to
the reputation of the President as q mer-
ry fellow:
Abe's last joke is pretty good. He was
going down the Avenue with Stanton when
they noticed very short female crossing the
street Stanton remarked that she was the
shortest he ever saw. Mr.. Lincoln said he had
seen one three times shOrter--in fact so very
short that when she was sick she did not know
whether she had the chilblains or diptheria.
Since then he had discussion uponreconstruc.
ton and the final prospect OF the North paving
the Southern war debt. Now gentlemen
there is this much about this paying of that
debt which reminds me of q story. 4
stranger was going through an unfrequepted
street when a crazy Frenchman ran out of
his house With a red hot poker in his hand.
addressing the stranger In great frenzy said
he Monsieur let mo put this red hot poker
down your throat one foOt7' Go away, don't
you touch me sir, I'll call the police 'Sar-
den, let me put him down six inches
lyon BRUTE said the stranger, 60 away
from me, you shall not touch me- Den, sar,
let me put him down tree inches OF course
the stranger declined. Let me put it down
yOur throat jest one little inch dcn.' No sir,
leave me, or Ill break your head We'll. sar,
den pay ne for heat dc poker That's the prin-
| ciple upon which the claim for payment will
| be made"
There-if You can't see where the laugh
comes in, you are not "lOial."

Coal In DacOtah Territory.

Extensive strata of excellent coal have been
found at Fort Rice. One vein was six feet
thick. This coal field extends towards the
southwest, and. it Is supposed Outcrops in the
slopes of the Black Hills. The existence of
this great coal field, half way between the
great lakes and the Rocky Mountains, is n fact
the value of which cannot well be overestima-
I'd Aside from furnishing fuel for the nayi-
cation of the Upper Missouri Riyer, 1t is q
controlling element in the location of line
OF Railroad across the great plains to the Pa
cific.
We printed the above few days ago
from New York paper. TIE fields above
alluded to are far more extensive than is
generally supposed. In conversation with
young gentleman who was with SULLY's
expedition the past season, and who is be-
lieved to have made some OF the first dis
coveries Of coal on the Cannon Ball River
near Fort Rice, we are informed that these
fields extend to the banks of the Missouri
on the south-all along the region of the
Black Hills in q sonthwesterly direction,
and to the bad lands (so called) near the
west boundary OF Dacotah, and to some
extent into Montana, embracing region
of country as large or larger than the
State of Ohio. These beds often come to
the surface and appear to be inexhausta-
bic, and are situate directly west Of Big
Stone Lake, and are on or near the track
pointed ont by the main line OF the Saint
Paul and Pacific Railroad west from St.
Paul, and at no distant day must prove of
great advantage to Minnesota in the sup
ply of coal for mechanical purposes and
for consumption as fuel.
The direction and appearance Of these
fields would seem to indicate that beds of
coal will also be found east Of Big Stone
Lake and north of the late discoveries on
the Big Cottonwood River in Minnesota.
These inexhaustable coal fields, coupled
with the heavy bels of timber which the
St. Paul and Pacific Road passes through,
in the counties of Hennepin, Wright ard
Meeker, fully just,fies this Company in
pushing this Road off into the interior of
the State a. the earliest practicable peri
cd; while the early settlement and deyel-
opment of the fabulous resources Of the
great and fertile prairies west OF the
woods, are equally important to the sue
cessfnl prosecution of mining interests be-
yond. We understand the grade ia to be
pushed through the woods tie coming
season.

The New Attorney <.ener.l.

The Chicago Tribune gives the follow
information concerning Col. John .Jamea
Speed, Of Louisville, Kentucky, appointed
Attorney General of the United States in
place of Hon. Edward Bates.
Col. Speed is gentleman of commanding
ability, standing at the very head of the Ken,
lucky bar, both as advocate and counsellor.
In politics he is ofthe radical antisavery stripe
He has been for many years the warm politi-
cal and personal friend of Cassius NJ. Cay,
and stood gallantly by that indomitable cham
pion of freedom during the darkest days of
the antislavery cause In Kentucky. He was
o member of the Western antislavery Con-
vention, held in louisville, on the 22d of Feb
ruary last, and by his eloquence and power,
aided by Hon. G. d. Drake, of St Louis, euc-
ceeded in defeating the nomination of General
Fremont, BY Col. Moses and his party of crazy
heads from Missouri Morally he is one of the
best of men. No better selection could have
been made.
The appointment is owing rather to the
Presidents old friendship and high apprecia-
tion of his abilities, than to any special polii-
cal interest

commend that provision be made for ef-
fectually preventing foreign elaye traders
from acquiring domicil and faciGties for
their criminal occupation in our country. "
Stripped of its verbisge, this is nothing
more or less than AN admission on the
part Of Mr.. LINCOLN that he bad exceeded
his authority in the Arguelles case, and a
call upon Congress to justify him in his
procedure.
If Mr.. LINCOLN has no doubt Of bis pO,o-
er to act why suggest such adoubt to Con-
gress by calling upon them to act in his
justification3
But in addition to this, it is plain to be
seen that Mr.. LINCOLN cannot deny the
right Of asylum in any individual case,
without prejudging it. We will take the
Arguelles case for instance, and suppose
that after Arguelles had been remanded
to tho Spanish authorities by the Presi-
dent, he had been acquitted upon trial.
In that case Mr.. LINCOLN would have de-
MED the right of asylum to an innocent
man. One false step leads to 9 whole
complication of difficulties. The Presi-
dent having put his foot in it finds him
self in an embarrassing position.

Gen. EEancock's New Corps.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.--Gen. Hancock
issues the following explanation of the
way to get Office in the lst corps of the
army:
All persons desiring commissions in the Ist
corps to be organized under the recent order
of the, War Department., must make applica-
tion in writing to the AdjuIant General of the
army, at Washington, setting forth their pres
ent address, date and rank of their original
entry into service, the regimental organization
in which they have served, date and cause OF
their discharge, their rank at the time they
were mustered ont Of service and if they think
proper adding military recommendations from
their former commanders. Applicants must
have been two years in the service, and have
been honorably discharged, and be physically
qualified. Their military record will be eX-
amincd in the Adjutant Generals Office,
whence it will be referred to Major Gen. Han
cock for the purpose of ascertaining their fit
ness for the position to which they desire to be
appointed. After passing examination, officers
will receive their appointment, and they may
then be required to proceed at once TO raise
veterans under the order. When sufficient
number has been raised and mustered in, the
officer will also be mustered in, to rank from
the date of bis original appointment.
Gen. Hancock issues condensed state
ment of the way in which men can get
into the 1st Corps of the army,
Erst-Men are enlisted ard mustered only
in this city.
.Second-Veterans, served two years and hon
orably discharged, may enl.st for one, two or
three years.
7Hird-Those who enlist will receive the
Government bounty Of $500, and in addition
800 for one, $500 1or two, and $500 for three
years.
Fourth-They viii be credited to TIE district

bountIes.
Fifth-Free transportation will be furnished
to Washington b. any Provost Marshal.
.S;rh--Tne best arms 10 the possession OF
the Government will be furnished to these
