]Jut List week wo recorded tftp event
if the nomination and confirmation by
the Senate, o- the lion. EDWIN M.
STANTOJT, AS Associate Justice of the
L'. S. Supremo Court. This week, it
becomes our j.ainful duty to announce
liirf sudden death, which occurred at
Washington, on Friday morning last.
The Xew American Cylopedia gives
the following sketch of Mr. Stanton,
up to his accession to the war office.
Ivlwin -M. Stauton, an American lawyer and
utatosinan, b«ru at Steubenville, Ohio in 1815.
Mis parent* w*ro of Quaker orgin and removed
Ohio from Culpeppor county, Virginia: bis
Miaturual grandfather formerly owned there
tie 1'unn on which the battle of Cedar Moun
t-iin was fought, August 9th, 1862. lie entcr-
Kenyon College in 1833, studied there about
ii yettr, "after which he became a book-seller's
clerk at C'oluuiltun, Ohio, and as such, pursued
his ejueatioii studied law with L. D. Collier
l-j. at Steubcuvillc, and was admitted to the
lj&r at Columbus, in 1S36. lie commenced the
practice of liU profession at Cadiz, llarrisou
I'ounty,
and was elcctcd prosecuting attorney
the county iu 1837, soon after which ho re
moved to Steubenville, and there accquired an
fxtcusivo practice. In 1830 he was elcctcd by
tie legislature of Ohio reporter of the decisions
the .Supremo Court, which office he discharg
.1 for its full term of three years. His prac
tice 'now extended all over the south-eastern
portion of Ohio, and the neighboring counties
of Virginia. During this period, ho defended
ut Washington, C. J. McNulty clerk of the
House of Keprcseutatives, ..-barged with defal
cation, and securcd bis acquittal. In 1843 he
removed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where
he became the leader of the bar, and began to
he employed In the Supreme Court at Wasing
too. His argument in the case of the Whcel
iu *agp«ngion bridgois among the most noted
of bis efforts during that period. In 1857 he
removed to Washington, and in 1858 was ap
pointed by the Hon. J. S. Black, then U. S.
.Attorney General, to go to California to plead
the cause of the United- States in some land
cased of great importance, to be decided by the
courts of that State. When, owing to the
course of the government, in the aeeession
troubles, Mr. Cass resigned his office as Secre
tary of State, Deo. 14th, 1860, Attorney Gen
eral Black became Secretary of State, and Mr.
i-'uiLtou was appointed to sncceed him as At
torney General' In this place he rendered
({rent set vice to the country by his firmness
niui zeal in resisting, as far as possiblo the ef
lo.cd of the secession leaders, who were then
lu.-tively engaged iu preparing for the civil war
that soon after broko out. He went out of
office with Mr. Buohapan's administration,
March the 4th, 1861, and resided at Washing
ton, laboring in his profession, until January
liiltli, 1862, when he was appointed Sooretary
of War.
His removal from the position of
Secretary of War by Andrew Johnson
is also a matter with which the public
are familiar. Ou the 5th of August,
1807, Mr. Johnson sent the following
note to Mr. Stanton:
Public considerations of a high charaoter
constrain me to say that your resignation as
Secretary of War will be accepted."
To this 3Ir. Stanton replied as
follows:
"In reply, I have the honor to soy that pub
lic considerations of high character, which
alone have induced ma to continue it the head
of this department, constrain me not to resign
the office of Secretary of War before the next
niestiug of Congress."
On the 12th of August General
Grant wan appointed Secretary of War
and Mr. Stanton retired. He was rein
stated by the Senate in January, and
continued in office until the 2Gth of
May, 1868, when the failure to im
peach the I'rcsiednt for his illegal re
moval occurred. Ho then resigned,
and has not since been prominently be
fore the public until Dee. 20th,. when
lie was appointed Judge of the Su
preme Court, vice Grier resigned. lie
was confirmed by the Senate without a
moment's delay.
Ho hiftPserved the nation faithfully
and without fear. His position was one
of the most difficult ever held by a pub
lic mail, aud he nobly performed the
duties.
Tho eminent war minister is gone.—
Death was jealous of his fame, and
robbed hiiu of the lesser judicial honor
which a nation's ^ratitudi would have
bestowed upon him, iu order that a
nation's gratitude might crown him
with be peerless glory of his prc-emi
nence as the patriot hero, the patriot
statesman, and the patriot martyr of the
war for the Union.
The Committee on Appropriations, in
the House of Representatives, through
their Chairman, Mr. Dawes, have in
troduced a resolution, asking the Post
jiiaster Cieueral for information as to
whether any person holding a United
Sates office has beeu employed to treat
with foreign nations in regard to postal
matters, and if so, in conformity to what
law, ami at what expense, and from
what approbation paid. Of cou' se, it
is aimed at Senator llamsey, of this
State, who spent the summer very
pleasantly in Europe, anil Lad his bills
paid by the Post Office Department
on the ground that he was negotiating
ti new postal treaty with France. A
sensible resolution, which ought to
brim forth the facts, so that the peo
ple may know whether the Senator wa&
so favored or not.

TUB WIUXF.I'KCt.VNS.
The reliable contraband" has furnished us
with quite a batch of repor's concerning tho
movements of parties in the Red Rivar country.
Wo now have the declaration of the half
breeds, giving a review of the causcs that led
them to rebel, and their pronunciamcnto as to
their course of action in the future. From
this it looks as if tho Winncpeggians had no
intention of throwing off" on Victoria's gov
ernment at the present time, but simply ob
jected to being turned over to tender mercies
of tho Canadian authorities by tho Hudson
Bay Company, by whom they have hereto
fore been governed. A srperate and distinct
colony, with colonial officers appointed by the
Mother Country," and a colonial legislature
made up of representatives from the diffcreut
parishes is put forth a* their ultimatum.—
Their ability to maintain this position against
Canada, these rebels claim, has been shown in
their successful defense of their country in
timos past, from tho attacks of hostile tribes of
Indians.
Tho assembly that issued this declaration
was composed of representative men from the
different parishes, and it is claimed by its
friends to mept the approbation of three
fourths of the population. Taking all these
statements as true, it would appear that the
rebellion thus far should be written down a
success. But it looks to me as if their decla
ration" rather than giving them strength,
will in the end bo the cause of bringing about
their oomplete discomfiture. This half-way
style of doing business don't pay in such little
unpleasantness" as rebellions. Had these
half-breeds in their counsel declared their In
dependence from every type of English govern
ment, cut aloof from English and Canadian
interferanco alike, and asserted their determ
ination to establish a Republic, they would
haro at oneo secured the active sympathy of
Americans generally, and of the entire body of
Fenians espocially, many of the latter of whom
had British troops been sent to put down the re
bellion, would hare found means, notwith
standing the neutrality laws, to have shied
their castors iuto tho ring," and strike an
other blow to avenge Irish wrongs. And then,
too, Minnesota, whioh has no particular inter
est in the matter, would have considerable to
say, if nothing more. Saying nothing about
the high-moral" sentiment of tho duty
Americans owe to those people seeking the
blessings of self government, there is a ques
tion, filthy lucre," that strikes Minnesotians
very forcibly. In the discussions by the
Chamber of Commerce at the time they invited
Gen. Baker and Ik* Donnelly to unite in a dis
cussion of the tariff question, one of the prin
ciple business men of this eity stated that bo
fore the adoption of the present tariff his trade
with that seotioa amounted to about $20,000
per annum, against $2,006 now. While this
may perhaps be ascribed to an unjust provis
ion of tho present tariff law, you can readily
see how much more acceptable it would be to
tho business cen of our city, if that country
was an independent government, with whom
we could treat directly and adopt such trade
regulations as would bo mutually beneficial, or
better still, if the rebellion had been inaugura
ted avowedly for the porposo of adding an
other star to the "flag tf the free"and more
territory to the homo of tho brave." Either
of tbeso would have ssade them tbousaiujs
of friends out side of their limits, where
they eannot count npon ono, and your cor
respondent is of the opinion that to make
tho rebellion a viritable success, ono of the
two courses has got to bo adopted.
LEGISLATIVE.
Already there aro sign* of preparation for
tho Legislative "mill" that is to open up
tho first week in January. As yet it is too
early for an outsider to spoak with any cer
tainty with reference to the organization, tc.
Among the first business will undoubtedly be
tho passage of the 15th Amendment. From
present indications the Democratic members
will make no organized opposition to this
casure, individual members of that organi
zation, governing their action with reference
to making capital in their own localities.—
And this, as near as I can learn is to' be
the Democratic poliey on all the principal
measures that will be up before the present
Legislature, livery thing that can ho done
to weaken the Republican organization, to
throw the odor bf any unpopular legislation
upon them, and as far-as po^ihle to steal all
tho thunder of the popular measures. In
short, they propodo to conduct a regular
bushwhacking contest. Of course, with such
Republican Icadors as Merriam of this eity,
and others I might mention, the majority will
not suffer iu such a contcst. In my next I
hope to bo ab'c to givo you something defii
uite to the Legislative outlook.

The year 1SG9 has been remarkable in the
number of dentthat have occurred among
the great men of the country. The last of
these, and one that comcs home to the heart
of the American people more feelingly than
thnt of any of those which have prccccdcd it,
is the announcement of the sudden death of
tho Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, the lata Secre
tary of War. Whatever may have been said
by bitter partisans about Mr. Stanton, lie
was without question ono of tho most remark
able mec of the present generation. A Dem
ocrat up to aud at the timo of tho war, he,
like the great and truly lamented Douglas,
promptly decided in favor of a vigorous pros
ecution of tho war for tho Nation's life. Soon
called to tho responsible position of Secretary
of War, his untiring energy, unwavoring faith,
never yielding dctei niiuatku and brilliant and
comprehensive intellect, had probably as much,
if not more to do with the successful termina
tion of the war than the efforts of any othor ono
man in the country. Ho undoubtedly made
mistake*, aud lie may liavo exceeded Jit some
timo his legitimate authority. Hu| in estima
ting the man and his deeds, wo must look at
thcra as a whole, and when this is done, wo
cannot sp cak of hiiq in too high praise. His
memory will be cherished by future genera
tions while that of those who would traduco
him will be either forgotten, or remeiuborcd

Letter from California.
?ANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA,
November 30th, 1869.
Editor TnutcripU—When wo reached Farley,
we found tho hotels all full. So tho best wc
could do was to make tho depot our stoping
place till tho train should loavo for Cedar
Rapids.
The telegraph operator was in charge of tho
depot on our arrival, and-we had a good chanco
to note the difference in tho characters of men.
When he found out that we could not get ac
comodated at the hotels he kindly gave us
room in tho depot and gavo us such informa
tion, and rendered ns all the assistance that
was in his power and this was done' with a
gentlemanly kindness which was particularly
refreshing, after our experience before reach
ing that plac3,.
Farley is a small place, 30 miles west of
Dubuquo, on tho Northwestern
tR.
R. Con­
tains about three thousand inhabitants and is
surrounded by a very fine prairio country.
At 11 o'clock A. m., Nov., 5th, we left Farley
for Cedar Rapids, which place we reached at
4 p. it. Thero wo again laid over till night.
The road from Farley to Cedar Rapids passos
over some very good land—in fact the land is
nil good—except where tho road runs through
tho valley of tho Wapsypinnican, and along
the Cedar ltivor, near Cedar Rapids. But the
bad country along tho Wapsoy is made up by
tho splendid quarries of stono along tho bank
of the river. Men wcro at work at various
places quarrying and dressing stone, which
had tho appcaranco of marble from tho cars,
bnt we were informed that it was only a fine
quality of lime-stono.
Along the road wc saw some splendid farms
and farm buildings, with orchards which ap
peared to have been in bearing for some years.
Cedar Rapids is a place of some five or six
thousand inhabitants is situated on the Cedar
River, on a sandy^ plain, and has 'some fine
residences, a number of "good churches and
business houses that would do eredit to any
place. It appears to be place doing a good
busiuess and alive wide-awuke town
Purchasing onr tickets at Cedar Rapids for
Omaha,
wc were all aboard at 7 o'clock P. M.
Tho cars were fine—first class—awl the best
we have seen up-to this place. St. Paul and
Milwaukee cars not excepted. Tho road is
good, the time last, a nd the conductors kind
nnd gentlcmcnly, and everything is done to
make tho'passongcr comfortable.
On our way to Omaha tho conductor asked
us how much wo paid for onr tickats from
Cedar Rapids, to Omaha. This struck us as
a little strange, and on inquiring found that
tho ticket agent nt Cedar Rapids had charged
us two dollars and twenty-five cents per ticket
more than tho fare—making twenty-one dol
lars which he_took from our party, more than
we ought to have paid. Other parties fared
tho same as ourselves, _while soino had paid
only the regular fare, lie had singled out
California passengers, so far as ho eould, and
had done it with eonsiderable shrewdness. We
wore informed that he would get dismissed on
the return of tho train, but this did not givo
us back our ten dollars. Wo wore requested
to make a statement of tho matter to the Divis
ion Supt., atut'ouncil Rluffs, and^ that proba
bly the money wonld be refunded and sent to
us in California.
Our trip from Cedar Rapids to Omaha was
nearly all in tho night, and of course we can
not spOak of the country from personal knowl
edge, but we were informed that tho country
from Cedar Rapids to Omaha was tho finest
in Iowa. Tho pcoplo all along the line in
Iowa complain of the lightness of tho crops.
Tho'generul impression is that corn will not
average 20 bushels to tho acre through the
State. We conversed with a number of men
who seemed to be well posted in regard to tho
matter,^
Saturday morning found us ncaring Omaha.
Tho country had bccome some broken, swamps
of water, and low, and uppcaring in some
places, and in others steep nnd rugged hills,
rising from 100 to 150 lect in heiglith.
As wo come in sight of Omaha tho sun was
jus! rising, throwing a flood of light over the
city, and tiping the hills with gold, which lay
behind the city, resembling a bank of clouds
often seen in ono of Minnesota's glor-ous sun
sets, while to the right strorohed away the
mnddy Missouri river.
Omaha is situated on tho western bank of
tho Misseuri, while opositejvjand two and a
half away, is Council Bluffs, a place of
somo three thousand inhabitants (so said)
bnilt upon the low lands of the Missouri, while
to the east, and somo miles back, rises a range
of bluffs, or hills, from one to two hundred foet
high. We would judge that in high water
Council Bluffs would be overflowed, but of this
wo do not know, but the pla%o has a poor ap
pearance, not having any good buildings and
scattered over a large amount of ground it ii
to near Omaha to crcr be much,
Tho cars stop at Council lilulFn, tho passen
gers and baggage aro transforcd to Omaha by
Buss, across tho river by steam forry, at the
expense of tbo R. R. Company, whilc^fho
freight cars are ferried across to
(Omaha
on
steamers for tho purpose.
The Missouri river is a stream as largo or
larger than tho Mississippi, at l'rcscott or
McGregor, and the muddy est stream imagin
able. No one who has never seen it can lorm.
any correct idea of tho muddyness of the water
The mud is so thiek in tho water, that the
water can't be still, but is continually boiling
and rolling over as though it was trying fro
eject the uiud from it and iconic clean.
Arriving safe on tho western side of the
river we puss over a bottom of low land from
three-fourths to a milo wide, which during
high water is all overflowed. Tho road has
been brushed and earth thrown up so as to
make a very good ad at present, thero not
having been ary ruin lately.
Omaha is situated upon tho flint bench of
and from tho bottom, this bench is some fifty
feat high. A roa-l has been gradod from the
low land to the top of this bench, which gives
a very gradual and easy grade, and approach
to tho city.
The buildings first reached from tbo river
nro not so good as those situ atcd further back
but some good houses aro close to the top of
tho first bench which arc nsed for hotels. As
the weary passenger comes iuto tho city,
she, or they, arc besieged by tho runners of
tho various bouses who arc desirous of inform
ing tlein of tho best placc to stop.
Wc had instructed tho driver to take us to
tho depot of tho Union l'acilio R. R., but in
stead, lie sloped us in front of a liotol, and
wo wore besieged on every side by somo very
kiml gentlemen who wero loud in their praise
of tho various hotel accommodations, and
wave us a great amount of information, frco
gratis, while we were iu formed by some oponi
,«» runner, that if wo sloped at certain hotclB
that thoy would give us cold cabbage and
corned beef for dinner, and that the bed bugs
would carry us off before morning if wo ven
tured to sleep a night thore and that the cars
would not start for California till night—
that if wc went to tho depot thoy would not
let
us stop there, and that wo could not got
anything to eat there. And ull this timo,
Jehu stood still, lettiug his horses havo a good
rest and seemed determined to unload us
thero, if by stunding thore would induoo ns
to get out. Wo let them exhaust their voea
bulars of praise Jof thoir bouses and abuse of
ouo another, and then informed them that wo
thought we knew our owu business, aud did
u-4 n«-l their
tl,cm lf
wero running that machine? and received a
reply in tho negative. Wo then told them
that we were, and ordered Jehu to drive to
the depot, wluoh h$ did, thoagh somewhat rc
luc split ly.
Arriving at tbo depot, there, was a regular
bablo of confusion, breakfast bells ringing
and invitations on every side to walk in, and
have something to eat. Depositing our bag
gage at tho depot w'e sangbt the cbicf of po
lico of the station and saught tho information
we dosired, whioh was given ns in a very
gentlemanly manner, and we went on onr way
rejoicing.
This polico arrangement is a good thing.
