Knocking at the Door - Dakota.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., November 10.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER;
 have just visited an indignant people, and let me state the case through your columns just as it appears to them. It is a matter that the whole nation is concerned in. 9gsss2a
 There is magnificent region, whose rapid growth has astonished the world. Its agri- cultural resources have attracted to its broad farms the finest set of immigrants that ever landed on our shores, since the landing of the Pilgrim fathers. It boasts the smallest percentage of illiteracy of any political com munity on the globe It has thousands of
 miles of railroads, hundreds of factories, well-endowed colleges, hourishing cities, and indeed all the best and ripest results of mod ern civilization. It has now twice as many people as either Rhode Island, New Hamp- shire, Vermont, Florida or Colorado; three times as many as Deleware or Oregon, and ten times as many as Nevada. It was m c1uded in the Louisiana purchase, which France ceded with the express stipulation that sTthe inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incorporated in the Union and ad- mitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the Constitution, to all the rights, advantages and immunltles ot cltlzens of the United States. It was part ot the north western territory, for which, by the earlier ordinance of 17S7, it was provided that, whenever any of the territories into which it might be subdivided should have as many as 60. .0OO inhabitants, they should be admit ted Ion equal footing with the original States, in all respects whatsoever" Instead of SC, GOO, this noble territory of which write now claims ,O00 inhabitants, and will soon have 0 round million. Dakota IS this wronged and indignant commonwealth, which has knocked in vain for admission into the sisterhood of States, and now IS pre- pairing to insist on its rights more positively than before Let it be known far and wide, that the sin of defrauding this young giant of his birthright lies at the door of the Dem ocratic party. The present Con gress kept Dakota from becom- ing a State in order to deprive the Republicans of it's electoral vote and Its fair representation in Congress. And the same spirit of unfairness will lead the for ty-ninth Congress to keep Dakota out in the cold as long as possible. Contrast the in telligence, public spirit, virtue, and obedience to law that characterize this territory, with the prevailing ignorance, lawlessness, vlo- lence and mismanagement of Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina; and say if 1t is not an outrage to hinder the enrolment ot the former among the full fedged States of Unionl Indeed there are people enough and land enough to make two larger States, either of which has a stronger claim to recognition than had Arkansas at the time ot It's admls- sion. Let justice be done to Dakota!

 A pretty little scandal is going the round of the Berlin press. Prof. Dubois Raymond is distinguished savant, and lately held the office of Rector Magnifcus to the university. Dr. Schweninger enjoyed the distinction of being the tsBanting" of Prince Bismarck. After appealing in vain to half dozen doc tors for relief from fat the Chancellor at last hit upon Dr. Schweninger, Munich man, who succeeded in restoring the form of the Chancellor to it's former appearance of health, strength and elastic symmetry. Dr. Schwen- finger, among other favors shown him, was decorated with high order and appointed at once extraordinary professor" in the Berlin university. The doctors academic colleagues were huffed at the cavalier way in 1 which the redueer of the Chancellor's grow | ing obesity had been pitchforked into the midst of them, and they conspired to ignore the interloper. Dr. Schweninger left cards the other day at the residence of the Rector Magnifcus, who returned them to their owner. The infuriated doctor sent chal- lenge to the Rector Magnifcus, who replied that he was not in the habit of fighting with anyone, and would not, therefore, do so with Dr. Schweninger.

like church; like cowl; love prophet of the soul And in my heart monaStic aisles Fall like sweet strains or pensive smiles; Yet not for all his faith can see Would that cowled churchman be; Why should the vest on him allure Which could not on me endurey Not from a vain or shallow thought His awful love young Phidias wrought; Never from lips of cunning fell The thrilling Delphic oracle; Out from the heart of nature rolled The burdens of the Bible old; The litanies of nations came, Like the volcano's tongue of f1ame Up from the burning core below The canticles of love and woe;- The hand that rounded Peters dome, And groined the aisles of Christian Rome, Wrought in a sad sincerity; Himself from God he could not free; He builded better than he knew; The conscious stone to beauty grew. Know'st thou what wove yon wood-bird s nes' Of leaves and feathers from her breastT Or how the fish outbuilt her shell, Painting with morn each annual cell? Or how the sacred pine tree adds To her old leaves new myriadsy Such and so grew those holy piles, While love and terror laid the tiles. Earth proudly wears the Parthenon As the best gem upon her zone; And morning opes with haste her lids To gaze upon the pyramids; Der England's abbeys bends the sky, As on it's friends with kindred eye For out of thoughts interior sphere These wonders rose to upper air; And nature gladly gave them place, Adopted them into her race, And granted them an equal date With Andes and with Ararat. These temples grew as grew the grass; Art might obey but not surpass; The passive Master lent His hand To the vast soul that OCT him planned, And the same power that reared the shrine BeStrode the tribes that dwelt therein. Ever the fiery Pentecost Girds with one flame the countless host, Frances the heart through chanting choirs, And through the priest the mind inspires. The word unto the prophet spoken Was writ on tables yet unbroken; The word by seers or sybils told, In groves of oak, or fanes of gold, Still floats upon the morning wind, Still whispers in the willing mind. One accent of the Holy Ghost The needless world hath never lost!
 Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Ostrncised BY HIS Race.

Leander Bulfnch, colored man, died
in Richmond, Va, Friday last, under
peculiar circumstances. He was a coal
hand, who incurred the emnity of his
race by voting the Democratic ticket at
the last election. At that time the COL
ored people were much excited over the
election, and the more ignorant of them
imagined that they would be re-ensaved
If Malone was defeated. After voting
the Democratic ticket Bulfinch' nearest
relatives refused to have anything to do
with him, and hs was shut out from
society and church fellowship. He was
taken sick about a week ago and linger-
ed until Friday. Two or three of his
black friends relented sufficiently to
visit him, but most of his visitors were
white men. The colored people refused
to attend his funeral, and the services
were conducted by DIR. Hatcher, white
minister, and he was buried by white
men.

ColOred Leag mes in Ohio.

A Cleveland dispatch states that 81,
gantic civil rights movement has been
started anong the colored people in
Ohio, and already over 200 "equaI
rights leagues have been organized. -
The leagues will be permanent.a and will
be devoted to the general interests of the
colored race, for which purpose an
annual convention will be held for dis
cussion. A point the leagues will insist
on ia the repeal of the black laws on the
Ohio statutes;the law making 1t peni.
Tertiary offense for negro to marry a
white woman the section permitting
separate schools, and the use of the
word white " in the constitution. All
these must be repealed, and the negro
put on perfect equality with the white
man. At the meeting of the State com
mittee at Xenia Saturday, constitn-
ton and by-laws were adopted and the
leagues put on firm and perma nent
foundation. 1t is thought these leagues
will make the colored people in Ohio a
INIT on all social, moral and political

it is not believed that the places of de-
