ST. PAUL, MINI. Dec. 2S.-The family Of
Gov. McDougall arriy ed here to-day from the
north. They left Pembina last Saturday and
will await the arrival of Gov. McDougall, who
is expected to arrive in st. Paul next Friday,
en- route for Canada. They deny the reports
that Gov. McDougall had anything to do with
arming the Indians or melting them to rise.
They believe the mass of the inhabitants at first
favored McDougall, but they were afterwards
deceived and controlled by designing leaders,
who misrepresented McDougalrs mission.
STORY OF FILLIBUsTERs CoNTRADIcTED.
st. Paul dispatch, commenting on the Red
River news received from New York to-day,
says the report that that squads of fillibusters
are to be passed over the railroads within 200
miles of the British borders is fabrication, as
the nearest railroad point is 400 miles from the
border, and forced march with the ground
covered with snow and the mercury from 10 to
30 degrees below zero, is not probable. The
Wnnebagoes are advised not to rely upon any
material aid from such expeditions, as they
may exist only on paper.

peal to higher court as to the question of ju-
risdctiOn in the matter. This will delay if not
prevent the extradition.

ALBANY, Dec. 28-The rain and thaw the
past two days have greatly weakened the ice,
rendering it dangerous even for pedestrians to
cross the river upon it. The Boston ferry boat
commenced running yesterday and continues
to-day, making regular trips.
HUDSON, Dec 28.-The rain last night caused
the ice in front of this city to move cut, carry
ing with it a large number OF vessels anchored
here. At least fifty light crafts were carried
down the stream. Boats and vessels at the
docks were in great danger during the day
from the moving ice and dense fog. Steamers
Norwich and Samuel Cornell left Rondout this
afternoon for this city, and there is no ice in
the river to obstruct their passage.

the injunction granted by Judge Cardoza in
the case of Alex s. Compton. of the firm of
Pardee & Co., against the New York Stock
Exchange in the matter of certain transac-
tons in gold with one Foote, a member of the
Exchange. The Court ruled that the plaintiffs
property cannot be reached against his will
but by due process of law and through the
regularly constituted tribunals The Stock
Exchange is voluntary association of indi-
viduals, unknown to the law as a court of jur-
isdictien, and without discussing the rights of
persons which it may or may not have ac-
quired as between its members by their agree
ment or consent, it can rereive no countenance
from this Court in any attempt to stretch its
authority, either directly or indirectly, through
the medium of a copartnership, over persons
or property which have never been vOluntar-
ly subjected to its control.
