l'l W ,1 I O II E it I Thursday Ju*. 25, 1872. E ST. CLOUD BONUS BILL. No bill of a lvcul oi aractor prsent ed to the Legislature has probably cvor been Hie cause of so ruuuli disou nhui ta that allowing this city to issm bo».i for railroad purposes. Beiutr the firs. bill of the kind introduced in eithor branch, this season, it drew both the speeches of Senators who had been bottling their eloquent indignation against railroad companies in central ever sioce they had received their cer tificates of election. Profound opin ions as to the unconstitutionality of leg islation authorizing bonds to be is-uoa by towns to aid railroads, were deliver ed by back-country pettifoggers who would bave had considerable difficulty in conducting a trespass oaso before a Justice of tbe Peace. Men who badat never been nearer than the State Capital to St. Cloud and knew httl» or nothing about its wauts, dictated what it wasthe iortho interest ot ttio people of this place to do, and what not to do. All this, iu the face of tho fact that never before had a bill of this kind been questioned when supported by the del egation from tbe lociiity for which the legislation was asked. And it is souio what remark »blo that Senators who have always heretofore votod lor losal bonds, in amounts much in excess of what was asked for by St Cloud, found it for their interest, under a certain pressure, to violently oppose this bill. But tbe Senate contained-a largo ma jority of honest, lair-minded, intelligent men, who were willing to leave to the people of St. Cloud the regularion of their own natters, believing that they Were the bestjudges ot what was for their interest. 2hey very readily ap preciated the motive of tho oppositibr made by Watt, Clarke.and MoClure.a.id understood it to bo solely one of per sonal aggrandisement—a tight for th. depot, in opposuioa to the wishes and interests ot nineUen.twentieths of the people of the town, i'hetr api rela tion of this was quickened by tho kuowi edge that in thefirststage or the proceed iugi the passage of tbe bill had been strongly advocated at St. Paul by Mr Wait—-who converted his au ppurt ot opposition the instant the location of the depot was oha nged. Ibis majority— being a full two-thirds—has stood faith fully by the bill. The provisions ot the bill, as amend ed by its friends, aro briefly as follows: Bonds to the amount of $65,000, pay. able in not less than twenty years and within thirty years, bearing seven per cent, intern Et, ore to be issued for tho construction of the bridge and 815, 000 additional for the purchase of right of-way and depot grounds tho^e prop 03 itions to be submitted, after due no tice, to a vote of tho people, ioh prop osition to bo voted on separately bat »t the same electionj no person shall b. entitled to vote who has not livid in th.t tiwn for three months immediately pre eeding the election. On Friday, when tbe bill was road the first time, a lengthy debate arose, at the termination of which it was passed, but with an amendment requir ing tho railroad company to accept any regulations with regard to tariffs which might ever be enacted. The effect of this, which was to virtually kill the bill, was not understood at. the timo. On Tuesday, on a motion to strike off this amendment, thero was another lo.qg debate. The interests of Saint Cloud were ably advocated by Senators Wright Baxter, Rice, Rogers and Batehelder, while Senators Page, Buell and Child* opposed—deayiog tint the people had any right to express them selves foe. or against mousures which they believed to be vital to their wel fare. But by tho decisive vote of 26 to 9 the ameudment WJS stricken off.— Senators P.igo, Child ands Havens en deavored without avail to have other amendments taoced on, and the bill was finally ordered to its third reading. It. will soon go through the Senate, and into the House. There will bi little de lay in that branch, as the opposition ob tained scarcely any foothold there.— Tbe contest, EO far as legislation is con cerned, is virtually over, and the bill will soon oome to the people of Saint Cloud for action. The sentiment here is overwhelmingly ic its iavor. The importance of the road and the neces sity of having tha depct losated in a convenient place, are fully appreciitid, and the character of any opposition which can be made at the polls is so thoroughly understood here that tbe men who can be influenced by it arethis exceedingly few in numbers. LATIR.— The bill had its final pas* sage in the Senate yesterday, by a vote of32 to 7. PROP. CAGE, PI inCI pal cf the Nor mal Senool at Mankat?, lias- written a lengthy article for tho Record, in*which he urges the following changes in the arrangement and management of Nor mal Schools: J.Oi let, To out off all model schools w\t]x the exception of one, the iuiertaeJuite grade. 2d, To provide dormitories, and boarding accommodation* iu ttic building for from 160 to 200 pupils. 3d To in augurate two Courses of traini..(r tat leathers for the ungradeaclioolf, for the graded. one to one A SEASONABLE suggestion his been made by the Now York Citizen that as it is a matter of doubt whether Mrs. Mansfield has saved enough to secure a oomfortable support in her old days, it might be Well to make the tragedy complete.by hanging her along with Stokes. This is proceeding on the pleasant 'assumption that Stokes will really bo hanged, which, in this en lightened age arid in Now York, is by no means a certainty. BRICK POMEROY rises to remark that, "If ever a party in this country Wis on the road to the devil, tbe Dem ocratic party is tho one." Brick may fee jitUi a little in advance of his party, fee) knows what be is talking »2B^ f~i-s*m*. •usi&i&j? sible will be imprisonment for life.

His pitting words expressed the hope that the good sense of the people of the United States and Russia would not permit the friendly elations between the two countries to be disturbed because of the recent un pleasantness between Secretary Fish and himself. It icould bo foolish. A SINGULAR case has recently ocaur red in Minneapolis. Some seven years ago Judge Beebe, with another gentle man, witnessed the will of a mutual friend. This gentloman afterwards died the party who made the will is now dead, and that instrument has been brought before Judge Beebe to be proved and probated.

Beav. on appear before tho judge, plead guilty, and the severest sentence os- This is a matter which should re ceive tho attention of the Legislature its present session, and the law beshall so amended as to meet cases where a criminal pleads guilty. Eithor give judge power to pronounce tho death sentence, or else abjlish that pen alty altogether. The discrimination is now in favor of the criminal whose •juilt is the most unquestioned. Of course, any change now being ex post facto, could not affect Beaver's case, but there may be other eases in which its want would be felt. REV. E.
