votes and major fraction thereof, and also one for
each county at targe.
Officers of County Committees or local Clubs will
confer a favor by sending to the Secretary of the
State Committee the names of delegates as soon as

ANOTHER RAILROAD DECISION.
Chas. Mollnth, Receiver of the
Southern Minnesota Railroad, ap
plied to the United States Circuit Court,
sitting in St. Paul, for directions as to
whether ha should conform to the actlooked
ot the Legislature of 1871fixingmax-to
imam rates of railway oharges. The
petition was aoeompanied by an affida
vit of President Drake, of the St. Paul
and Sioux City road, pointing out cer
tain Inconsistencies in the law. The
Receiver claimed that if he should eon
form to the statute rates, the earnings
of the road, now less than the current
expenses, would be reduced 9150,000
per annum. Judge Dillon delivered
his decision, in whioh be declined to
order the Receiver to disregard the
statute law and also declined to order
him to conform to it, merely suggest
ing that he should conform far as the
interests of the creditors of the road
would admit. Referring to the fact
that the Railway act had been sustained
by the Supreme Court of this States
ndge Dillon said
"The Court will hesitate before pursuing
or sanctioning a eonrse whioh will bring it
in antagonism te the public policy of the
State and if the only question involved
was whether the State Legislature infringed
some peculiar provision of the constitution
of the State,*We should regard it our duty
freely to accept as correct and final the
authoritative determination of the Supreme
Court of the State.
•'But evidently, here the main question
is whether this legislation infringes rights
of the Companies whioh are under the pro
tection of the constitution of the Uni
ted States.
"The Federal constitution protects all
contracts from legislative or judicial inva
sion on the part of the States and Legis
lative charters are contracts within the
meaning bf the constitution, and the ques
tion is whether this legislation does invade
chartered rights of the companies. This
is a federal question, one whose ultimate
solution and final settlement rests, and
rests alone, with the Supreme Court of the
United States.
"Upon suoh a question the decisions of
the State Courts have a persuasive or argu
mentative, but not binding or authoritative
foroe."
The oase of the Winona and St.
Peter railroad, in which the decision of
the State Supreme Court affirmed tbe
constitutionality of tbe tariff statute,
has been appealed to the United States
Supreme-Court, and on tbe decision of
this court of last report this whole ques
tion must depend.
The St. Cloud JOURNAL proposes to have
Washburn nominated for Governor Bar
to, of Stearns, for Lieutenant Governor
Billson, of Duluth, for Attorney General
and compromises with the rest of the State
by conceding Jennison for Secretary of
State, and Dike for Treasurer. The edit
or of the JOURNAL is a generous soul.—
Southern Minnesota acknowledges his
kindness, but it will proceed at onoe to
knock over his cobb house. Reverse the
programme, and we will consider whether
the proposition is worth reflecting upon.—
Rochester Record.
Excuse us, if you please. As long
as Northern Minnesota ean offer tbe
best men it does not propose to be the
"under dog in the fight." And a little
thoughtfuF reflection will satisfy you,
Mr. Record, that the tioket suggested
is the best for the State at large.
BRITISH minufaoturers are not pleas
ed with the healthy condition of this
country. The Birmingham and Wol
verhampton journals express alarm at
the deprease of orders for hardware
from America, and at the remarkable
development of trade in tbo United
States, whose manufactures are oppos
ing those of England in the colonies of
South America. We are now about
old enough to take care of ourselves,
and help our good old mother, too—
for a consideration.
THE jury in the ease of young Wal
worth for tbe shooting of his father re
turned a verdict yesterday evening of
murder in the second degree. The
promptness with whioh this ease has
been brought to trial, will mark, it is
to be hoped, a new era in suoh cases in
New York.
A DECISION has been rendered by
the Secretary ot the Interior directing
the cancellation of a large quantity of
half-breed scrip located on pine lands
on the upper Mississippi. Holders are

BK.VBtHU FJtUIT.
On last Sabbath morning a mob of
masked and armed men broke into the
jail at Salem, Indiana, took out a pris
oner named Delos Heffron, the murder
er of D. Halstead, and hung him. This
Heffron was a desperate ease, having
been guilty ot one murder before this,
escaping without punishment. The
oourt, on the Thursday previous, had
continued his ease until the next term,
and this was, it is believed, what in
cited the people to resort to mob vio
lence. The result is just what might
have been anticipated. When the
laws, through the fault of those who
administer them, fail to command re
spect, then will the people take the
punishment of crime into their own
hands. Trials for murder have become
a faroe. Delay follows1 delay, until final,
ly the criminal wears out the patience
of the people and escapes with some
trifling penalty or none at all. In
stead of justice, an outraged communi
ty is treated to a show of tricks and
technicalities, legal quibbles and sub
terfuges, until the law and all con
nected with it are held in utter contempt.
It has come to be reoogoized that with
money and sharp lawyers the boldest
desperado may carry his case over from
one term to another, appeal on some
-trifling exoeption from a lower oourt to
a higher, and at last, with the disap
pearance of some witnesses and the loss
of memory on the part of others, have
himself pronounced an innocent and a
persecuted man, and walk forth to dis
pose ot his next victim, as did Heffron.
Tbe people of Indiana had just read
that Stokes, who shot his man in open
daylight on the stairs of a great hotel,
after being twice oonvioted, had been
granted his third trial they had just
read the appeals of other of the New
York murderers for new trials, with
the weight of precedent in favor of the
applications being successful and they
had just heard announced tbe post
ponement of Heffron's trial, which was
upon aa being the next thing
his release or, escape. Human na
ture asserted itself in this deed of vio
lence, as it is very apt to under similar
provocations. The blame lies not so
muoh with the rioters, as with those
judges who make trials for murder a
travesty of justice.
The massacre of the Modoc prison
ers by the Oregon volunteers was theand
legitimate fruit of the policy of the
government in its dealings with the In
dians. It has seemed as though the
savage that could exhibit tbe most
scalps of white men or women was the
surest to receive reward and protection.
Indian ohiefs tried and oonvioted of the
greatest barbarities were released and
returned to their "tribes for the sake
of peace." It will be remembered that
just before this massacre the announce
ment had been made that Santanta,
who had been convicted of a dozen
murders, was, despite the vigorous
protests of Qen. Sherman, to be not
only set at liberty but furnished with
transportation to his people. An out
rage auoh as this coald not be expected
to pass without producing acts of vio
lence.
We do not apologize for mob law in
Indiana, neither do we defend the
massacre of the Modoc prisoners, but
we assert that those who, charged with
the administration of the law, bring it
into contempt, and those who inter
fere with its rigid and impartial execu
tion, are responsible for the condition
of popnlar feeling which manifests it
self in these lawless aots.
E A O COli. PATJ1.DING.
It is with deep regret that we» an
nounce the death of Col. Edmund E.
Paulding, chief proprietor of the St.
Paul Pioneer, which occurred in Newly
York on Saturday last. He had been
suffering for along time from a disease
of the throat, and during the winter had
gone to Florida with the hope of de
riving benefit from its milder climate.
Being disappointed in this, he went to
New York for medical treatment, and
reached there bub a short time before
his death.
Col. Paulding was comparatively a
young man, being but thirty-eight
years of age at the time of his death,
and with a liberal education and flue
abilities as a writer seemed to be just
at the beginning ef a brilliant and use
ful career. He had the blood of the
good old Revolutionary heroes in his
veins, his grandfather having been the
John Paulding who was one of the
three soldiers that captured Major And
re. Commodore Paulding, of the navy,
was his uoole.
Since 1857, Col. Paulding had been
a resident of Minnesota, and in 1861were
was eleeted a member of the Legisla
ture from St. Peter, where for several
years previously he had been a law
partner of Gov. Austin. Personally he
was kindly, courteous and agreeable,
impressing favorably even those who
met him casually, and making strong
friends of those who possessed a more
intimate acquaintance.
The proprietors of tbe Pioneer an
nounces that the paper will be contin
ued as heretofore.
GENTLEMEN of the highway appear
to be getting somewhat numerous, and
wheat money seems to be their prefer
ence. They stopped farmers on two
occasions last week near Red Wing, in
Goodhue oounty, getting nothing in
tbe first instance, and about $40 in
the second. A sensational story comes
from Hastings about the attempted rob
bery of a farmer of $700 by a footpad
the sturdy yeoman knocking him sense
less with a piece of a rail, and then
going to town for an officer and having
bim arrested.

THE Khivan war is at an end, a
special dispatch from Central Asia
announcing that the Khan has sur

stated that twelve previous proposals
for capitulation had been rejected by
General Kaufman because treachery
was suspected. A general interest is
felt as to what the Caar will do next.

HOMESTEAD RULING.
The Secretary of the Interior has
made the following important ruling.
When a homestead is oanoelled, and
the homestead claimant is found on the
land at the date of suoh cancellation,
together with others, who all design
taking land under •pre-emption laws,
the homesteader being legally upon
lands of bis settlement, the right rests
instantly on suoh cancellation, while
the claimants having gone on the land
while it was saved by said homestead
were trespassers, and tbe homestead
claimant is the preferred party under
the pre-emption law.

A TERRIBLE tragedy occurred at
Farmington on Friday night. A
stranger came to town that day andselvos
took lodgings at the boarding house of
John Soollard. At night, as the lit
tle son of the proprietor was showing
the new lodger to his room, the latter
drew a revolver and threatenedtoshoot
the lad, who ran to a neighbor's and
told bis father of the occurrence. Mr.
Soollard coming home, went to the
room of the stranger, who, without a
word, shot him as he entered the door,
inflicting a wound whioh may prove
fatal. Constable Chapel was sent for
went to the room, when the
strange man immediately raised his re
volver, but the Constable, anticipating
his movement, fired, the ball entering
his chest, killing him instantly. It is
believed by many in the neighborhood
that the man was insane. The Con
stable is fully exonerated. The St.
Paul Press says that upon further in
vestigation it has been satisfactorily de
monstrated that the stranger's name
was Rumbold Wright, aad that he was
48 years old when killed. He had
been at St. Cloud, and prior to his de
parture from that place, stated that he
intended to visit Glenooe.
CHANGES are to take place in the
Mankato Normal Sohool. The Union

Miss Helen M. Phillips, late Principal
of the Milwaukee Female College, and
Miss Defransa Hall, of the Oswego,N.

WHAT A LADY SEE! BY THE WAT.
SABATOGA, CAI., June 17th, 1873.
EDITOR JOURNAL.—We believed
before and now know that, unprotected
women oau travel, at leaat as far as
this place, and meet with no mishaps,
but find all the officials not only kind
and pleasant but willing to do every
thing in their power to smooth the way
before them. So if any one wishes to
come, let her start with a brave heart
and all the trouble is oyer.
With a good supply of courage, wo
started from S Paul, Tuesday the 2d,
about 7 A.M. As far as Mankato wo
passed through a well settled, thriving
country, most of the time in eight' ot
the Minnesota river. Leaving Manka
to we came upon a dreary stretch of
prairie land, with occasionally a lake, a
house,or anew looking railroad town,and
further on mud or sod houses were not
uncommon. The conductor showed us
every attention and made things so
pleasant for us that we shall wish for
ever that all conductors were like him.
We reached Sioux City about 9 p. M.,
and with the usual amount of luggage
were put into an omnibus for the "Hub
bard House." It was moonlight, so wo
might have had a view of the town of
whioh we splashed through a good part,
had not our faoulties been so completely
subdued by the mud of whioh I never
wish to see the like again it was at
least half a yard high from the bottom,
and the way that buss jolted around,
and dipped down one side and up the
other, the way we got up and sat down,
and said "ah!" and "O my!" and the way
all the. other passengers did the same,
lives in my memory yet. The hotel
appeared just in time to save us from
desperation. We were shown to ourBeeohejr:
"nice oool rooms" immediately, and the
rapidity with whioh we divested our.
of our apparel and sunk into bur
beds and the land of dreams eould be
commended to all slow people.
"We were awakened in tht morning
by the musio of the frogs, and, con
gratulating ourselves on being up be-ited
fore we were called, proceeded slowly
to array ourselves had perhaps got as
far as the second shoe, when a ghoul in
the person of a "culled waiter" rap
ped at our door and informed us that it
was "quarter to six," in about five min
utes it was "half-past," and having ta
ken his station by our door he beat a
perpetual tattoo thereon until -we ap
peared in a oondition to indicate "too
muoh hurry." Being told in the
middle of breakfast that the "buss was
itin'," we hurried away in suoh con
fusion that we again forgot to look at
anything until seated in the ears. Sioux
City is situated on the Missouri river,
whioh, as a stream, is wide and slow,
and thick and muddy.
Toward noon we arrived at Omaha,
Geo. Francis Train's "hub," a flourish
ing town of 20,000 Inhabitants. Ac
cepting a very cordial invitation from a
friend to "stop over," we had some op
portunity to see the town. It is well
built and has most of the modem, im
provements. We visited the high
sohool building, a fine brick structure
built at a cost of $250,000, and the
pride of the town people. We also
drove out to the barracks, where sever
al regiments of troops are stationed,
this being the headquarters of the
Northwestern Department. Beside the
quarter-million school house, the Oma
haites have a splendid hotel, built at
the same coat and the new custom
house, now building, will reach the
same figure, whioh seems to be a fa
vorite one with them.
The Missouri river is called the
"Big Muddy" here and deserves the
name. The name of the town is said
to have originated in the terrified ex
clamations of the first inhabitants, who
waking from slumbers with visions of
scalping Modoos in their brain, natur
ally cried out "Oh, my harl" mnee
contracted into Omaha. Our stay in
the city was exceedingly pleasant, and
of oourse we liked the plaoe. But
pleasant as it was, it came to an end,000
and so must this letter.

—The jury in the ease againstCohn

Friday returned a verdict of not guilty.
The verdict is interesting from the
that the jury was composed most

that they would convict the prisoners,
no matter what the testimony might
be. The verdiot will have a tendency to
tbe people of New Orleans,

and that, after all, they may fall into

—The grasshopper plague is about

It is hoped that the late sown grain will
grow up again, and yield well. The
rain on Sunday had a good effect and
in many fields where grain was eaten
off close to the ground it is springing
up and has the appearance of a field of
wheat bnt lately sown. If the season
Is favorable quite a orop may be ex
