We are informed that Don. Geo.
Seeker, President of the St. Paul &
Paoifio R. R., has expressed a desire
that the people ol St. Cloud shall da
termite among themselves where they
want the bridge for the St. Cloud
and Otter Tail Branch to cross the
Mississippi along what streets they
will give the right of way and where
they want the depot to be located.—
When these matters are settled, if they
inform him he will come to S Cloud,
hear what propositions the people
have to make in the way of aid,
andtionSstock
state what the Company would like to
have, and come to a definite and mu*
tually satisfactory understanding. We
believe Mr. Becker and the Company
he represents are disposed to aot fairlj
and liberally with St. Cloud in this
matter, and we trust that they may be
met in a similar spirit. We believe
we may safely promise that the people
will give any reasonable assistance to
this road, and we believe we can Say
with equal safety that Mr. Becker will
not ask anything beyond what is reason
able.

In Connecticut the vote was very
dose. Some thirty scattering votes east
prevented either candidate from having
a majority, and the election goes to the
Legislature. As this is Republican,
Mr. Jewell's election is certain. This
will redeem Connecticut from Demo*
emtio rule.
The Democrats of St. Paul re-eleot

Republicans succeeded in electing three
out of the four Aldermen, a msjotity of
the School Inspectors and one County

We are gratified to announce that
J. Q- Wood, Esq., of Sank Rapids, hat
consented to prepare and read tho
nual Poem at the meeting of the Min
nesota Editorial Convention in June
next. Mr. Wood was in 1848 the ed
itor of the Chicago Daily Expreu.—
During the early part of the rebellion
he was editor of the Owensboro' (Ky.j
Shield. For a time he edited the
Union, published in this city in 1860home
by Gen. Lowry. Mr. Wood is a poet
of more than local reputation, one of
his productions, "Dad is growing old,
John," being familiar in evury house
hold.
As has previously been announced,
the Annual Address will be delivered
by Hon. J. A. Leonard, editor of the
Rochester Pott. The coming Conven

to the fraternity, and it ia hoped that
the attendance will include a represen

As isgenerally understood, the great
er portion, if not all, the money used
in constructing the St. Paul and Pa
cific railroad has been furnished by
Amsterdam bankers. The Franco-cents.
German war rendered capital timid, and
work on this line was temporarily sus
pended. But within a few davs past
orders have been received by Messrs.
De Graff Co., the contractors, to re-sheet,
same work at once, and push, with
all possible rapidity, the construction
ot the Main Line from Benson, to
which place the ears are now running,
to the Red River. The latter point
is to be reached by August. In con
nection with this, the St. Paul Pre*

Tee much credit cannot be given to Hen.

"We judge that he baa erred in making
it before instead of after the arrival and re
port of the Commissioners returning frum
a careful Inquiry into the facta of the

no superiority in these respects over
Meters. Wade, White and Howe."
The New York Timet speaks as fol
lows of the speech:
"The facts addneed by Mr. Sumner
scarcely warrant the conclusion he draws
from them, and utterly fail in establishing
the absurd charge of 'usurpation' against
President Grant."

EDITOR JOURNAL.—In the Timet
of last Saturday, there was an article
over tho signature of "Veritas," if not
positively denying, yet strongly insinu
ating against the credibility, of those
passages of Scripture I had compiled)
indicating the length of time the hu-good
man race has existed.
The writer says, "It has occurred to
me that perhaps Mr. Stewart is mista
in supposing the years spoken of
in Genesis to be equal in duration to
our present years."
Upon this asserted
Were the word "year" used in scrip
tore without a definite signification of
the length of time, when used so con
secutively as there it is, it would ap
pear meaningless and confused. And
if the word were sometimes used in
one signification, and at other times in
another, without any sure indication to
know its proper meaning ia each par
ticular place, it must at once lose all
authority. Whether "Veritas" be aim
ing at this result, his article may serve
to indicate.
But most dearly "year" in scripture
is used to designate a particular, defi
nite length of time. It is divided in
to months and weeks snd days. And as
the days are now marked by the revo
lution of the earth upon its axis, so
they then. Hence we have a
definite standard by whioh to measure
the other divisions of time made up of
them. We are also assured of the di
vision of the year into seasons, and
"While the Earth remaineth, seed time
and harvest, and cold and heat, and
summer and winter, and day and night,
shall not cease." (Gen. viii., 22.) Is
that anything like an indefinite period?
or shorter or longer than one of "our
present years?"
"Veritas" again reminds us, "We
must recollect that theHebrewat Moses*
time snd the tame language at Christ's
time were vastly different." I will not
presume to pronounce upon his knowl
edge of, and his familiarity with, the
Hebrew language. But when he indi
cates that such great changes have
parsed upon it, and draws his inference
of so much importance therefrom, and
seeks to impress it upon the public*
it is certainly due to the publio, not
only to give his authority for the asser
tion, but also to indicate what those
changes sre, and how bis own conclu
sions are sustained thereby.
thewere
The Hebrew soriptures were acknowl
edged is of authority in our Lord's
time on earth, and were used and quo
ted by him. This is sufficient to es
tablish their authority and crodiblity
with us now, and any change of
the language since would not effect that
at all.
••Veritas" concludes with the asser
tion, "Our present inquisitve ago de
mands rational proofs rather than asser
tions or'quotations, and without this
necessary support progressin Christiani
ty, art or soience will come to an end."
Notwithstanding this high-sounding
declaration, he has himself given us
nothing but "assertions."
But what is the direct tendency of
this sentence, whether intentional or
not I It is to sap and destroy all faith
aad confidence in the divine authority
of the Soriptures. Thathowever cleat,
and explicit scripture teach
ings may be, "quotations/' that is the
Holy Soriptures themselves, am no suffi
cient and binding authority upon the
hearts ot men. If thus of no authori
ty, the only sure bulwark of the true
religion would be destroyed, and that
which Christiana have considered their
most precious treasure, would be but
as an empty casket.
It is grievious to see manifested in
this community the disposition to em
blazon suoh attacksand insinuations up
on the credibility and authority of God's
word, upon Christianity, and upon our
Lord and Master Himself.
Christian community, beware of such
teaching beware of such teachers be
ware of exposing the young and tender
hearted to snob influences.
If "Veritas" were Verify seeking
Verity in such unsustaiaed assertions
and what were intended tobesuch dam
aging insinuations, it would have been
more manly to have presented them
over his Veritable name, that the com
munity may know to whom to ascribe
their paternity, and so might know of
what race,they were and not under
the cover of an assumed name, and
with professed regard for "Holy Writ,"
aim the blow, the only tendency of
so far as it has power, is to de
all faith and confidence in the
credibility and authority of the wared
volume of God's revealed, truth.

with-
out adducing one fact to establish it, or
one argument to confirm it, he draws,
in his way, a reversed conclusion, con
trary to all the rules and principles of
the historian, the mathematician or
logician.
He asserts, "According to the best
English authorities the Assyrians3aby
loniaoa and Egyptians,from whose sci
ence and histories Moses received his
education, used the word 'year' at
different periods tj signify lapses of
time ranging from six months to seven
ty years and even more." For this as
sertion he gives us no authority what
ever. And were snoh an assertion even
established, it is no argument that
Moses wrote with any such indefinite
or changing signification of the words,
particularly those designating duration
of time. Of course he oould not have
written st suoh "different periods," hav
ing but one brief life time in whioh to
perform his task on earth and so when
he says a "year," we must conclude he
designated the period of time then
known as such. However Moses was
instructed in all the wisdom and knowl
edge of the Egyptians, yet no believer
in the inspiration of the Bible believes
that he relied upon these in writing
the first five books of that sacred vol
ume. We are assured that he wasafter
specially inspired, and that God revealed
Himself to him face to face, ss'He did
to no other prophet.
