Sated Minneapolis, March 1.1872. LAND OFFIC E INVKBTIOATIOH. At tho request of EIoo. Willis Drum- mood, Commissioner ot the General Land Office, who spent two days of last week in this city, we did not, in onr last issue, mention his visit here. Nor can we at present state to onr rea ders the result of the examination he made without violating good faith and affording the gentlemen he was after, an opportunity to see parties whose testi mony will be used at a proper time and which we prefer to put upon the record before it ean be fixed. Some of the persons engaged in plundering the settlers and the general government have heretofore exhibited too strong a disposition to procure and make affidavits and to suborn witnesses, for us to gire them an opportunity to do to in this case, by publishing to the world what facts were presented to Col. Drummond during his brief stsy in our oitj. When an investigation is order- ed—and there will be one—witnesses will be forthcoming, the proofs will be there, and we can assure the editors of the Organ that the "German from Todd county," as well as ether honest settlers defrauded and cheated out of bard earned dollars, will be on hand to testify upon the practices of the land ring. Commissioner Drummond caus ed a printed fee bill to be put up in a conspicuous placo in the Land Office, to which wo invite the attention of all who have heretotore transacted business there. Let tbemv compare its rates with the fees exacted in the past, and see whethor or not our charges of ille- gal fees are true or false. This fee bill WJS prepared last June, a copy sent to the St. Cloud office with orders to post up, which was not done. Upon inqui- ry made by Commissioner Drummond the officers stated that one was posted up in the old office in Kindier's Block, but offered as an excuse for its absence in the new office, their reeent removal thereto. They moved into the new of fice in January, and it would seem to a person unacquainted with the very la borious duties of the officers that three months was more than sufficient time in whieh to stick up a hand bll. And we defy them to prove outside of the Ring, that it was ever kept posted in the old office. Col. Drnmmond's visit was entirely unexpected, and caused a perceptible flutter among tho accused, •nd well it might. •avawHai OUH aTT. PAUL, GOHRESPONOBSIIT. The readers in the Prest, residing in this vicinty, will have very little difficul- ty in recognizing by the peculiar style of the writer, the author ot its St. Paul correspondence, and attributing those remarkable effusions to the only great genius in nur upper country ca pable of produoing them. There is a fertility of imagination there, a depth of originality, and a gush of beatific sentiment to be found only in the writ- ings of that great legal luminary who to recently abandoned a lucrative prac- tice in this o?ty to enter upon "fresh fields and pastures green," in the Cap- ital of our State.

EBABTTO COBNING. died April 9th, A a N One of our exohanges says that it it soarcely possible that New York will get a cow chaiter from the present Legislature. And why not get it a3 well now as at anj future time? The new charter is a foregone conclu sion for it is demanded by awakened people and as they have had the strength and courage to burl from pow- er so ne of the rings whioh were de stroying them, they will doubtless ac- complish their desire in this direotion. Our times are peculiar in this one re spect at least that the people ait be- ginning to rightly appreciate the power they hold and though wonderfully long —suffering and forbearing to a degree that is sometimes hardly virtuous, bo- cause unnecessary, they have found the ready way to escape—namely, the short way. For many years, the real virtues of some communities at least, have been smothered under an affected sentimentality even when fraud open- ly stalked the street, and flaunted its unholy gains in the faces of honest men from whom they were filched, no one would raise the condemning voico. Presume that men are hone$t until ihey are proven guilty Verily, then, a good many rogues will go unhung. On the contrary, it may bo necessary some- times to presume that men are guilty, in order to get at the truth. What we wish to call attention to is the spirit of inquiry which is abroad, now, as at no former time. Tho air is toll of it—and all who have long felt that something should be done to cor- rect manifest evils, should now show themselves men, and not cowards.— Truth in everything that concerns so ciety is what we need. Politieiana have long enough hoodwinked and blinded tho people. This is a govern ment from the people and for tho peo- ple—and it will not accomplish what it promises in the way of yielding rich fruitage unless the people demand and enforce their wishes. Can this be done Certainly it can. It has been done in places that were deemed entirely be- yond recovery. And whon the good sense of the masses asserts itself it ean be done anywhere. No matter who suffers by it Out with the truth— fall in with the spirit of reform, wheth er in law, theology or social ethict*. Cut off all gangrenes and then the body politic will havo a healthy growth. IBtPonTART TO BAILOKH AND R01 OIBRS The following letter from Hon. John T. Averill, which will convey a valu- able piece of information to many of our readers, has been sent to us for publication: WASHINGTON D. March 80th, 1873./ Mr. Geo. L. Fitk, Sauk Rapid*, Minn: Mr DBAB SIB.—I have your favor of 28th inst. making inquiries with reference to the late law granting relief or favor to the soldiers seeking homesteads. It grants all soldiers and sailors the right to deduct from the five years required to perfect their titles npon homestead lands their term of service in the war of the rebellion. If he served three years he will bo required to atop upon hie land two years before get ting his patent. If he served two years, he must live upon his land three years, and if he served one year, four years resi dence will be required. Many soldiers lost their homestead rights by employing agents to enter for them under a law of 1864, bat did not go upon the lands be cause worthless entries were made. 3 have introduced a bill to restore those rights, and hope to pass in a short time. Truly your friend, JNO. T. AVERILL. W E clip the following item in re- gard to the finding of the body of A L. Castle, a brother of Capt. H. A Castle, formerly of this city, from the St. Paul Dispatch of the 5th "Capt. Henry A. Castle has returned from Quinoy, where he attended the fune ral ot his young brother, Albert L. Castle, who was drowned November 19th, by fall ing from a steamboat on his return from spending the summer in this region. The body waa found near Canton, Mo., within a row miles of tho apot where he was sup posed to have been lost. It bore evidenoe of having been at the bottom of the river all winter, and had been raised to the sur face by the waves of a passing beat. It was in a good state of preservation. The papers, money, watch, etc., in his pockets weie sate, and tho coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental drowning, as no marks of violence appeared." TUBOBAFR POMS.—Contracts for fif teen hundred telegraph poles have been let to parties in this vicinity, the poles to be distributed between here and Fergus Falls. —Alexandria Pott. The above item seems to be of special interest just now. Only a few days ago Prof. Morse, the father of tele- graphy, died. The history of his in vention is full of interest. When he first broached his plans, governments shook their wise heads and said, no. Even our own Congress, hesitated long before giving him aid to the extent of $30,000, to ereet a lino from Washing- ton to Baltimore. To tbem it seemed like a hare-brained experiment, and one whioh, even if successful, would be of no practical value. But behold the wonder The Eastern, Southern and Middle States are covered with a net work ot telegraph wires and away here in the Northwest—a country then almost unknown to Congress—and still stretching on towards the Rooky Moun tains and the Pacific, it is now doing its wonderful work. There is no other civilizer equsl to it—and no other agoncy does so much to give us a view of the whole race in all its phases ot good and evil. A hare-brained exper iment! Why, level our telegraph wires for one week, and the business of a continent would be plunged into inex trioable confusion nay, it would seri ously cripple tho business of the whole world. E Governor appointed Peter Southerland, C. S. Peterson and S. W. Turner, Oounty Cemmisricners fo Wilkin oounty. It seems strange that the world did without it so long. But thus it often happens, that the instruments whieh minister most to onr benefit, are sothe simple, they are overlooked or when discovered, the world will sneer rather than accept. We are fast getting over this, and now accept almost anything new. This is right if it is. good we will know of it the sooner if it is bad we can find this out and reject it RHODE ISLAND has elected a Re- publican Governor and Legislature. A* COREESPONDINT of the" La Crosse Leader writing from Washington, re- fers to tho jMiouesota delegation in Congress as follows: ••Minnesota has a pair of noble ropro senUtlveB in the House in the persons of General John T. Averill and Hon. Mark H. Duanell. If we add to them the two Senators, ex Governor Ramsey and Sena tor Windom, it may truthfully be said the Minnesota delegation presents the finest appearance of any in Congress. Mr. Dun nell has already acquired a high reputation as one of the few speakers who can get tho attention of the House." —Already we have had it shown by Republicans themselves that the St. Cloud Land Officers have made $60, 000 in five years on a salary of leas than $8,000 per year. And now, as an item from the Waseea Newt else- where shows, the Land office at New Ulm has organised a regular plunder of ignorant homestead and preemption claimants, by throwing them first into4f "f Mendota, be the clutohes ot "sharpers" who bang around the office and divide the steal ings. Tbis is done by a relative of Tibbett's, the Register, who, in fact, is an old offender-having played the same game at St. Peter from I860 to 1864, while the office was there. The truth is, and it is well known to hundreds of men, that at about every U. S. Land office in Minnesota there is first an inside Land Office "ring/' and then a sub-'-ring" of outside sharks the two "rings" operating in close com munion as a sort of banditti, to not on- ly pluek unsuspecting settlers, but to gobble up all the choice pieces of land in the Dutrict.—St.Anthony Democrat —Gov. Austin is in reoeipt of a let- ter from Mr. Chas. Stood Corbet, of Oil City, Pa., inquiring the address of the Presler, boys, who it will be re membered, met with aneh a terrible misfortune by freezing in Martin oounty 1866—Charles losing his feet and Francis both hands and feet. Mr. Colbert states that he bar. made ar- rangements in Philadelphia for supply ing these unfortunate boys with artifi- cial hands and feet. We understand these young men are worthy and de- serving of the interest taken in them by this noble-hearted gentleman.— St. Paul Dispatch. em —Earthquakes seem to be the ash- onable excitement. California has just been stirred op by a slight shake, and the insurance companies out that way are beginning to take earthquake risks. But the jarring whioh California has suffered is the mere rumble of a wheel in comparsun to the disaster reported as having oscurrcd in Syria. A great part of the city of Antioch has bean re- duced to rui::?, rnd 1,600 persons, out of a population estimated at 10,000, have been kiil'ed by an earthquake of late date. The ruins of the ancient city have now a rival of even sadder -ntc rest in the modern wreck. Scien- tists will find in the almost simultaneous earthqakes in Califonia and Syria, the occasion for additions speculation on the laws which govern the waves ol the central fires.—St. Paul Dispatch. A young man was reoeotly robbed of $4,000 at Omaha, and wrote about it to his father at Fort Wayne, Iod. The father went to bed with his mind full of the subject, and straightway dreamed that he was in a certain room at a hotel at Omaha where two men were talking over the particulars of the robbery and dividing the plunder. He noticed the number of the room, went down stairs, and learned from tho register that the occupants were John B. Wilson and James Frank. On waking up he immediately wrote to his son to ascertain if these persons were at that hotel on the date of the robbery, and if so to have them arrest ed. His instructions were followed and the money was recovered.—Still water Messenger. 0» I E A HOT1CKS. —The Living Age, for the week end ing Apirl 6, begins a new volume, and contains number of a series of arti cles form Blackwood, entitled "A Cen tury of Great Poets from 1750 down wds," the present number relating to Robert Burns Wanderings in Japan, number II a letter of Rev.

SHUCKING} CATASTROPHE AT GIB RALTAR. Loss or EleTcn Live*—A Series of Ca a a A terrible catastrophe occurred on the morning of the 8th instant, on board the British screw-frigate Ariadne, which resulted in the death, by drown ing of two sub-lieutenants and nine seamen belonging to that ship. I appears that early that morning an ordinary seamen, named Felix Richard- son, fell overboard from the main-top mast cross-trees the ship was going at the rate of ton knots at the time. The second cutter, in oharge of Sub-Lieu- tenants Jukes and Talbot and with a orew of eleven men, was at once des patched, and the vessel was brought to tho wind on the starboard tack she, however, drifted considerably to lee ward and so lost sight of the boat. A half-past eight, as a heavy sea was run- ning and there was no sign of the re turn of the boat, all on board began to tcel uneasy steam was got up and tho Ariadne went in search, sighting the missing cutter about 10 o'clock, pull ing before the wind and sea. Whon within about three hundred yards of the boat, the anxious watchers from the ship saw the crew attempt to steer for the ship, when suddenly a heavy sea struck her, and she capsized and was swamped immediately. The heavy sea completely prevented the Ariadne, a very long ship, from being steered close to the struggling men, and the first cutter wss accordingly manned. To the horror of overy one this boat as she was being lowered, was stove in, the officers and men being precipitat ed into the water. Two officers and eleven men were struegling in the wa- ter olose alongside the ship and a simliar number some hundred yards off. No other boat was available, and life- belts, gratings, ropes, in fact, every thing that could be got hold of, were thrown to those near the ship, and they were all fortunately rescued ex- cept one man, who was killed by getting under the ship's counter. Attention, which had been temporarily diverted, was now again turned to the unfortu nate officers and men of the other boat, who were one by one seen to be swept exhausted into the sea until only five were left. The Ariadne was then backed astern full speed, and brought within reach of tho survivors, three of whom were taken off tho cutter, one swam to the ship from a spar to which he had clung. And now came the most heartrend ing scene of all. Tho fifth and last survivor had managed to float along side, his band had grasped the beat falls, his safety seemed in all human probability assured, when nature, so long and so severely tried, could hold out bn longer—his strength failed him, and he fall back into the sea. Not yet, however, wss he given up by his gallant comrades. Mr. Ellis, boat swain, and one of those who have liv- ed to tell the tale of the ill-lated Cap tain, sprang into the water and swam to the assistance of the drowning man. He succeeded in getting hold of him, and had brought him alongside, when he (Mr. Ellis) was struck by a bolt on the side of the ship, whieh wss rolling dreadfully, and partially stunned, he was obliged to let go his hold in or der to save his own life, and the twice rescued sailor sunk before the eyes of all In all eleven men perished. —Some onewith spare time on Us hands has been investigating ft bushel of wheat, and reports thai it contains 666,000 grains %gs&ws&&s&& siElif^i'--....'"
