At the late meeting Of the people of the
city of St. Louis TO indorse the president, the
following, among other excellent resolutions
were adopted:
sgd That the system which the freedmen s
bureau bill proposed to establish in the southern
states, is radically repugnant to the principles of
republican liberty; that it would hopelcssly
pauperize the negro race; burden the white race
with their maintenance, and perpetaate the
subordiuation of the civil to the military power.
sd. That the total disfranchsement of eleven
states of the Union, by combination composed
of members of congress, formed among them
selves in the secrecy OF political caucus, is a
usurpation unprecedented in its magnitude and
Nervousness, and is well calculated to fill the
public mind with alarm and apprehension, and TO
keep alive the passions and prejudices kinded by
the war, and thus make chronic disloyalty or the
one hand and tyranny on the other.
18th. That all legislation by the present CON
gress solely affecting the slave states, which are
denied representation, is invalid, and in our
judgement should be treated BY the chief mag
istrate of the whole country"

The CHoLERA.-ln view of the probability
that the cholera will visit the United States,
it behoves every community TO take measures
nov to prevent the spread Of this scourge
which threatens to attack US next summer
Every citizen should feel interested, and take
some practical steps in the matter. Halls
Journal of Health gives the following sugges-
tions In relation to cleanliness as a preventa-
tive of the cholera:
Ftrst-Every householder owes II 70 him
self, TO his family. to his neigh bors, TO the
community In which he resides to have his
house from cellar to garnet, from the street
curb to the rear line OF his lot, most scrupu-
lously cleansed, by sweeping, washing, and
whitewashing.
Second-Every man who has authority in
the city or town governments should consider
himself bound by the Office, and BY every
consideration OF humanity, 10 give himself
no rest until every street, alley, close gutter
and sewer, Is placed in q state of perfect
cleanliness as possible, and kept so until the
frost of next season comes.
1hird-These cleansings should be done
DOW, in February and in March, because. if
put off till warm weather, the very effort ne
cessary to the removal of filth will tend, in
the essen tlal nature of things to hasten the
appearance of the disease, to increase it's
malignity, and TO extend the time ct it's de-
vas'stlons; because the suns of spring and
summer the sooner warm into life and inten
silly the vlperio and malignant influence.
which IN It's remorselsss tread, wrecks so
much OF human happiness and desoates so
many hearthstones.

regarded-as it undoubtedly was-a most unjust
and impolitic affair. Forty-fve republican mem
bers refused to vote on the question-be,ieving an
many of them assert, that MIR. V. was fairly elect
ed The necessity for increasing the party's vote,
az suggested by Mr.. Stevens, was the only reason
for turning him out, and upon that ground alone
was he expelled.
The above statement of the reasons for IN
seating Mr.. Voorhees,, which we find in the
New York Express, Is doubtless correct
While the radical managers fear the presence
of q man like Mr.. Voorhees,, they stand ready
to sieze on any pretext for putting out an OPP
ponent. Immensely strong as is their party
in the house, these managers still grudge the
party opposed the slightest show there. Of
course Mr.. Voorhees, was turned out without

The Rev. l.. Galtier, Catholic pastor of
Prairie du Chen, died last week. Father
Galtier was remarkable as one of a noble
band of jealous missionaries, who left France
in 1888, for the western wilds of America,
and whose names will be long remembered in
Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Among
his companions were the Rev. Joseph Cretin,
afterward first bishop of st. Paul, and the
Rev. A. Ravoux, now vicar-general of Min
nesota. The occasion of their arrival was
the formation of the new diocese of Dubuque
over which the Ri. Rev. DIR. Loras was ap.
pointed by Rome to preside. What is now
known as Minnesota fell to the province OF
the Rev. L. Galtier. lie landed at Fort
Smelling in April, 1910, resided tor some
months in portion of one of the stone hous-
es yet standing near the enclosure of the
fort, and after remove to st. Peters trading
post, where Mr.. Faribault donated to him n
small house, which he used the Same time as
chapel and pastoral residence. In lS41 he
erected a little log church ON the site of what
is now the city of ST. Paul, where he contin-
ued his ministerial labors for a considerable
period.

the shadow of an excuse, besides the naked
one that his removal would make room for q
partixan of their own. And it has now come
to this: the radical majority are resolved that
az far as possible there shall be absolutely
nobody In congress to oppose their measures
NO matter how utterly hostile these measures
may be to the best interests of the country.
This is why they persist in barring out the
representatives from the sonthern states
What an example this 10 setting to future
maiori.ies We wonder the New York 1ri-
bune does not see it in this light, and caution
its men from setting such an example.
A rump congress now declares eleven states
unfit to be represented in congress. These
states happen to be southern states. By and
by a majority in congress may-and as things
are going will be likely to-declare some
other-a northern-state or two equally un-
fit. This latest style of maintaining party
ascendency by turning out of congress every.
body representing a minority, is an inyen,
tion of the radical managers, with Stevens,
Summer, ct cetera, in the van. Is there no
