Yesterday's Proceedings-Mr. Elfelt's Labors
in Behalf of ImmigrationBiver Im
provementThe Committee on Park*
Given Something to Do at Last.
The usual meeting of the board of directors
of the Chamber met at the usual hour yester
day morning.
IMBiraBATIOJf.
The following communication was read from
A. S. Elfelt, Esq., who represented the Chamber
in Philadelphia for some time during the past
winter: Hon. H. H. Sibley, President Chamber of Com
merce.
DEAHSIB: Shortly before my recent visit to
Philadelphia, as the members of the Chamber
of Commerce will remember, I offered to devote
some time and attention while in the East to
furthering the interests of St Paul, and pro
moting immigration to our State, provided this
Chamber would give me the right to speak in
their name.
As the board were kind enough to honor me
with their confidence, I deem it proper that I
should report on the manner in which I exe
cuted their commission. On my arrival I
found that a most alarming financial depres
sion existed, and that thousands of men whose
commercial and industrial pursuits had been
blighted by its fatal influence, were preparing
to seek new homes in the West. Prom all the
information I could gather on the subject,
there are fully 50,000 people in the
Middle States alone, who have a serious
intention of moving westward. I found that
this great tide of emigration was principally
directed to the States of Missouri, Kansas and
Colorado, while the immense resources and
boundless fertility of Minnesota were compara
tively unknown.
The States I have mentioned as the destina
tion of this great throng of emigration wero
represented by numerons agents, who sounded
loudly the praises of their States, and adver
tised them liberally in the daily journals.
After my advertisements appeared, I learnt
from those who desired to investigate the com
parative advantages of the Western States, that
they knew not where to go to obtain full and
reliable information regarding tho North Star
State.
Prom January 16th to February 15th I de
voted two hours daily (and sometimes three
hours) to tho work of supplying to all who in
quired information regarding the agriculture,
commercial and manufacturing advantages of
our State and to a candid, yet highly eulogistic
presentation of the merits of St. Paul. I may
also say that I lost no opportunity to lay be
fore business men and capitalists the manifold
advantages offered by this city for the estab
lishment of all kinds of business. During the
time I was thus occupied "in missionary labor,"
i conversed with fully 500 men who contem
plated emigrating, and including the list of
names forwarded to St. Paul, I mailed 120
papers and answered 28 letters requesting
information in relation to our State and city.
This is indeed a most propitious time for
gaining a large accession to our wealth and
population. The people who ate exchanging
their Eastern homes for a lifo in the West, rep
resent the best features of our American civili
zation they have been reared under the influ
ence of our own political system, and have en
joyed the benefit of common school training
they are honest, intelligent, moral and enter
prisingin every respect a most valuable class
of citizens.
I present herewith vouchers which explain
the use I made of the funds with which the
chamber entrusted mei Expressing the hope
that our State and beautiful capital may reap
their full share of the vast emigration now
pouring Westward, I remain,
Your obedient servant, A. S. ELFELT.
The thanks of the chamber were returned to
Mr. Elfelt for bis services.
The memorial of the late export convention
at Washington, forwarded by the secretary
thereof, was read and referred.
Mr. Banning, from the committee on immi
gration, reported that the bill prepared by the
committee of the chamber, had been passed by
the Legislature.
EIVBB IMPROVEMENT.
Mr. Banning offered the following resolu
tions, which, after some discussion, wero
adopted:
Resolved, That this Chamber regards with
deep interest and satisfaction the comprehen
sive movement for a permanent location and
deepening of the channel of the Mississippi
river from Saint Louis to the Gulf of Mexico,
introduced in Congress by United States Sena
tor Cockrell and intended to secure uninter
rupted navigation and rightly protect the lands
adjacent to said river from overflow ano the
damage resulting therefrom. But it is respect
fully urged that any such improvement of said
river, that Bhall not extend from St. Paul, the
head of navigation, to the Gulf, will not be
commensurate with the great interest involved.
Resolved, That the committee of the Senate
to whom the bill has been referred providing
for a survey and report upon the cost of the
contemplated improvement, are respectfully
asked to so amend the same as to include the
entire river from St. Paul, the head of naviga
tion, to the Gulf, and that our members of
Congress are respectfully urged to aid in secur
ing such amendment and such legislation as
shall seonre said improvement at the earliest
practicable period.
In presenting the resolutions, Mr. Banning
addressed the ohamber at some length, and ad
verted to the difference of opinion existing
between the army engineers and Captain Eads,
in referenoe to the practicability of the latter'a
plans for deepening of the river at the Gulf,
lie advocated a general system of river im
provement from St. Paul southward, and
thought the interests of the Northwest would
be subserved by a coalition with the South in
its policy of river improvement. Different
systems of improvement had their special ad
vocates. Captain Eads' plans were strongly
opposed by the engineers, but it appeared a
compromise had been effected, which proposed
to settle the differences by an examination and
report of competent engineers.
The policy of St. Louis seems to be to stop
improvements above that city so as to make it
the point of trans-shipment of railroad freights
to the river. That city has been throwing out
her connections with the western roads of Iowa
and Nebraska, and seems to be disposed to let
the upper river remain unimproved. It is the
policy of our State to keep a watchful eye upon
this groat artery of oommerce and leave noth
ing undone to improve the navigation of this
great highway to the sea. It was the only hope
of this city and the only dependence of the
grain producers of the great Northwest.
PABK3 AND PUBLIC GBOUNDS.
Mr. McClung offered the following resolution
which was adopted:
Resolved, That the committee on parks in
quire and report at the next meeting whether
it is necessary and desirable to provide for any
parks or public grounds easily accessible to the
masses of the people within the limits of the
city whether such public grounds can be
bought now or exchanged for other property
while property is low to better advantage than
to wait till desirable points are occupied with
buildings and prices advanced whether such
public grounds as would serve asventilators and
purifiers of the atmosphere could be utilized
for school purposes with economy and without
interfering with their character as' parks
what grounds are owned now by the city as
public squares or parks, and what action should
be taken to make them subserve the most use
ful purposes with the least expense. If the
committee find that small parks within the city
limits are desirable, they are instructed to sug
gest their location and the best ways and
means of procuring them without an increase
of taxation.
Adjourned.
BBAVT IiaaUGJRATION,
Brisk Times on] the St. Paul and Pacific,
and a Frobabl Xarge Area Sown to
Wheat. Hon. L, B. Hodges returned Saturday evening
from an extended trip up the main line of the
St. Paul & Pacific, and reports matters as very
brisk at all points west of Willmar, and partic
ularly at Benso*, DeGraff and Morris. Immi
gration is rushing in, and extensive prepara
tions for breaking are being made on every
hand. Mr. Hodges estimates the amount of
breaking that will be done this year as over 50
per cent, in excess of that of last year. Lands
arc being sold rapidly, and most of the pur
chasers will break more or less the coming
season. If a favorable season is had, he thinks
the amount of wheat sown, will more than
double that of any previous year, and as the
'hoppers ore now a thing of the past, it is con
fident that a very heavy wheat crop will be
harvested along the entire line.
Working Men on Court House Square.
Yesterday, Gen. Leah had two men from the
jail, at work all day on the Court house square.
The quiet industry of the men raking up straw
and removing the debris from the beautiful
sward of the square, together with the martial
bearing of Gen. Lesh attraoted the attention
j-n
of passers by, and drew forth involuntary ex
clamations of admirations The men
seemed to feel intuitively ^the august
presence of the general, and as he occasionally
changed his position from front to rear, with
the martial step of the warrior, they quickened
their paces as if emulous to do the State more
service.
It is true, as we paused to gaze upon this
chivalric scene, wo thought we discovered be
neath the disheveled locks of one of these in
dustrious benefactors of the county, the classic
features of the Hon. David Hoar, and, at the
same time, there seemed to flit across that pale
countenance a peculiar smile, taking in the
whole situation with the gravity of the distin
guished politician. It is seldom that we have
witnessed a more interesting group.

A number of Sabbath-smashers, variously
armed, jurneyed from the city Sunday in

tion of bagging any.

Mr. Drake sufficient services upon the board,
it is an abounding satisfaction to feel that his

Charlie Johnson, the irrepressible and ener
getic secretary of the Senate came down yester
day, and was engaged in preparing subpoenas
|or witnesses in the Impeachment, of which it
is anticipated a large number will be issued.
How many will be summoned is not yet known,
but it is intimated that the number will be not
far from one hundred. They will be issued
next week.
The bill was signed yesterday by the gov
ernor which amends the law of 1876 relating to
the dates of holding the terms of the Ramsey
county district court. Under the new act the
court is to hold three terms in each year for
the transaction of both civil and criminal
business, to be held on the second Tuesday of
January, the first Tuesday of May, and the last
Tuesday of September.
Fifth street, below Jackson, was the scene of
a lively runaway yesterday morning. An un
harnessed steed came careering down the first
named street and passed a teambelonging to Mrs.
Johnson, of West St. Paul, and the horses of the
latter were at once infected with, the desire to
stampede, so away they went in gallant style.
Fortunately, that portion of Fifth street is
never very crowded, so that the course was tol
erably clear, but a badly smashed up wagon re
mained, and nobody was hurt.
A lamp at the corner of Third and Wabashaw
was left all day "to pale its ineffectual fire"
economy! While lamps are left burning all
day in some districts, there are districts in
which, on dark stormy nights like last Sunday,
pedestrians have to grope their way in pitchy
darkness through the miry streets. Citizens
along Seventh street and in lower town com
plain bitterly of the economy which orders
street lamps not to be lighted if the moon ac
cording to the calender should shine, but does
not.
A man named Wm. Myre, charged with tim
ber trespassing, was recently arrested near
Brainerd by Deputy United States Marshal
Wilson. The deputy, however, had other gov
ernment business on hand, which it would not
be proper for Myre to hear, so was obliged to
take some chances of his "bird" escaping, and
tne "bird" flew. This is the case which the
twilight luminary, with its usual obf ratification
of facts, represents as a prisoner escaping from
Deputy Wilson while on the train coming to St.
Paul.
Gov. Pillsbury had his hands full yesterday,
between signing bills and attending to more
than usually numerous delegations waiting
upon him. He succeeded, however, in affixing
his signature to between thirty and forty of
the measures. The most important was one
providing for the assessment and collection of
taxes, a most voluminous affair. The joint
memorial to Congress for alight house on Grand
Marias bay, north shore of Lake Superior, was
signed. The bill authorizing Jordan and Shak
opee, Scott county, to issue'bondB for county
building purposes, which was a fruitful source
of contention in the late House, also received
gubernatorial consent. Up to 6 p. m. yester
day, eighty-eight bills remained in the Gover
nor's office, many of which have been fully
considered and only await his signature. To
day, at 12 o'clock noon, is the last hour that
will seal the fate, one way or the other, of the
remainder.
There is nothing like an election to secure a
crowd and to get up a little "confusion." This
was proved at the fire department association
meeting last night, which filled the parlor of
the hook and ladder house 'to overflowing.
President Jonn Lunkenheimer occupied the
chair. The object of the meeting was to elect
officers for the ensuing year, and to act upon
the new by-laws. The report of the committee
on by-laws having been read and accepted, the
election was proceeded with. After a spirited
contestespecially for presidentlasting until
11 p. m., the following officers were elected, the
choice of the secretary being a re-election:
Charles H. Williams, president Daniel Kelly,
vice president P. H. Prendergast, secretary
C. Casey, treasurer and John Lunkenheimer,
J. G. Donnelly, John Leah, E. B. Birge, Thomas
C. Conway and E. H. Wood, trustees. The
hour being late, the meeting adjourned without
action upon the by-laws.

[Washington dispatch to the Toledo Journal.]
It ia useless longer to conceal the {got that
the Republicans are getting very tired of
Hayes. It is conceded that his course is
sapping the life and wearing away the ener
gy the Republican party. It is a solemn
fact to-day that in Washington a majority of
Republican Senators and Representatives
would rather see Tilden in the White House
than Hayes. There are but five or six Repub
lican Senators (so called) who sustain the
administration, and there are not twenty,
all told, in the House, so that in an emer
gency Hayes would be almost utterly with
out any support.
