E RAILROAD SUIT,
The hearing before Judge Dittos of
the S. Circuit Court in chambers at
Daveaport, Iowa, on the application of
Mr. Willmar and others to have a re
ceiver appointed for the St. Paul and
Pacifio railroad, began on Tuesday.

ohargen contained in the oomplaint.
Tbe hearing will probably close to-day
or to-morrow.
E MANITOBA PfUIONKtU
The decision of Judge MoKeagney
on the application for bail of Fletoher,
Hoy, Keegan, Bentley and Merriam
was read in oourt at Fort Garry on
Saturday. Thefirstfour were refused
bail, and Merriam was released en 14,*
000 bonds. This is an outrage on
Amerioan oitiiens which our (govern
ment should never submit to. The
prisoners are, at the very worst, only
ohirged with attempting to commit a
crime, and are clearly entitled to bail.
The Central Government, if it has any
regard for its own reputation, will
hasten to reverse the decision of this
blockhead judge, and give these men
their liberty on furnishing good and
sufficient bonds for their appearanoe
at the next term of court.
Mr. Merriam was released on Mon
day en bail. His bailsmen are
Hon.name.
James McKay and Andrew MoDer
mott, tbe two wealthiest men in
theworthy
province. Hundreds of men might
have been obtained as security for him.
Scarcely was Merriam liberated before
he was captured by McKenzie, who
has been acting as his counsel, for a
claim of five hundred dollars. Security
had to be given for the amount. The
public is fearfully indignant at thethe
whole affair, and sympathy is entirely
with the accused.
Senator 'Ramsey left St, Paul for
Washington on Monday evening, at the
solicitation of leading citizens of Minne
apolis, and will do all in his power to aid
the gentlemen now imprisoned at Fort
Garry. On Sunday evening, Gov. Aus
tin left lor Washington, for the purpose
of giving the Department of State all the
information in his possession in regard
to the prisoners.

apolis last evening from Manitoba.

TUB JUJMMNUUr,
The SU Cloud JOURNAL publishes
a card from Judge MoKelvy, declining
a renoiuination for Judge of that ju
dicial distriot. In the same article
JOURNAL nominates for the re*
sponsible position Capt. L. W. Collins,
a prominent attorney of that oity. W
deaire to add our testimony to thetion
fact that Capt Collins is eminently
fitted by nature and eduoation to fill
the position his friends seek to eonfer
upon him. is a young gentleman
of wiquestionable integrity, first-rate
natural ability, and good legal knowl
edge. In point of general culture he
has not a superior among the young
men of the State, and the distriot will
confer honor upon itself by eleeting
him to the responsible position. This
eetimate of his oharaotev is based upon
an intimate acquaintance, as boy and
men, tor fifteen years.—Minneapolis
Times.
HE Minneapolis Tribune makes the
following statement: "We are author
ised to say that Gen. Washburne could
not now be induced to have the nomi
nation transferred from Capt. Davis to
himself under any circumstances. The
standard bearer of the party could not
now be changed without fatal misap
prehension even if done openly
and publicly for thepurpose of
reotifimg a mistake in the count.
Gen. Washburne intends to
support the whole ticket, as it has been
announced, with his usual energy, and
he urges his friends not to permit one
iot a of their zeal to flag. learned
his political principles in a sohool where
the general good dominated private in
terest, and he is not likely to allow any
personal injury to cool his ardor."
—The great "railroad case," whioh
is soon to be submitted before Judge
Dillon at Davenport, Iowa, is liable to
have important results. I is stated
on good authority, that if a receiver is
appointed, and a satisfactory conclusion
reached, DeGraff & Co., will imme
diately put five thousand men at work
oa the northern extension of the St.ren
Paul and Pacifio road, and proceed
without intermission until the work is
completely finished. All they require
is responsible authority for "going
ahead," and they will proceed to do so
with their usual enterprise and energy.

FOBT WALLAOI, KAB., JULY 21,1878
EDITOR JOURNAL.—Time's whirli
gig having oast before me the satisfac
tory combination of agreeable occupa
and a climate of first-class repute,
sustaining the usual meteorological
tests, my present letter, instead of
bearing to you the fragrance of thements
orange groves of California, conveys
only the duller aspects of frontier and
oamp life. The summer weather at
this post is strikingly reminiscent of
the beautiful blue Catskills, whether
we regard temperature, elevation,
breezinoss, or the "changes"—which
notorious climatic bugbears, by theway,
I have found to be equally prevalent
from Maino to Mexioo, and from New
Orleans to St. Cloud, the summers of
the extreme South and the extreme
Northern winters alone affording mark
ed equability of atmosphere.
Perhaps the breezes are a trifle more
vigorous here than on the New York
mountains indeed, the garrison flag,
consisting now only of the blue field
and a bit of red and white under it,
is strongly suggestive of rapid air
motions, but, in spite of frequent days
of 100° in the shade, the nights always
maintain the popularity of stout blank
ets. Fort Wallaoe also stands over
three thousand feet above the level of
the sea but, alas for piotaresque ap
proaches The counterpart of what a
ten-mile ride from the Hudson reveals
of the Catskills is missing here, when
a two or three hundred mile ear ride
is required to attain the same altitude.
Suoh a ride I We left Leavenworth
(a prosperous, fuliginous burg, with
presumptive olaims to thirty thousand
inhabitants) at eleven o'clock one
evening and completed our four hun
dred and twenty miles on the Kansas
Pacifio R. R. at nine the next evening.
The latter half of the journey was a
gradual ascent through country quite
like that surrounding the Fort—bar
rolling plains, destitute of vegeta
tion, save only the short buffalo grass
and priokly pears, with occasional trees
of stunted dimensions at the edge of
the Kansas and Smoky Hill Rivers.
The open ocean, with its ever-varying
beanty is Infinitely preferable, to this
dry and desolate plain, the sight of
whioh was not only monotonous as we
sped over it, but painful to the eye
and even sickening. I think a sort of
habitual introspection must be all that
saves the railroad employees from idi
ocy or insanity, as day after day they
pursue the same dreary journey. For
animal life, prairie dogs and numerous
antelopes, usually in pairs or threes,
were all we saw. In the cold months,
1 am told that, In this neighborhood,
the plain is darkened by the myriad
buffalo that wander here, affording a
trade in pelts at the depot not unlike
the wheat traffic with you.
There is no settlement hereabouts
nor, indeed, can there be any, so soanty
and uncertain is the rainfall, and,
asexhibition,
a minor and less constant reason, BOchurch,
large and voracious are the 'grasshop
pers. Attempts to sustain a post garden
have largely failed—entirely this sea
son—though a well fenced bottom of
tolerable soil is watered expressly from
a dammed pond in the Smoky Hill,
close to where the Fort stands.
At the dopot, two miles away, Wal
lace by name, there is no village. A
railroad hotel—twenty minutes for a
tough supper—a few saloons, and some
dwellings for railroad hands comprise
the "town," as we vainly call it in
memory of better days. Of the popu
lation, what shall I say, save that it is
erratic, and, for the most part, travels
under the dual banner of Colt and
Bourbon. And, in the leaden meteor
shower whioh seems a normal atmos
pheric condition on the frontier, a
timid mortal like your correspondent
is about as liable te be the recipient of
a bullet as the tougher and rougher
beings who think it funtocarry their
lives in their hands. These genial
neighbors, in addition to the eountless
rattlesnakes one can hardly walk a
rod without stepping on, serve as full
compensation for the dangers we lack
because the Indian no longer practices
his knight errantry in this seotion. In
fine, prodigious recklessness in morals
and manners appears to be the ordinary
outgrowth of either oamp or frontier
life.' Heaven defend us I
Our garrison is small at present, two
oompanies, one each of infantry and
cavalry, being all we have,and, indeed,
the cavalry are now in summer oamp
at River Bend in Colorado, a hundred
miles or more west, so that in the
Fort we number but a few over a hun
dred heads all told.
This post, whioh was established in
1866, suffered severely from eholera
that year and the next, and in '67 had
a sharp brush with the Indians just
back of the oamp, as the well-peopled
cemetery sadly attests by its cenotoph
of yellow stone. This stone, by the
way, is an abundant material here, and
so soft that it can be worked with car
penter's tools. Several of the buildings
are constructed of it.
Sooiety is limited inoluding officers
and post-traders with their ladies, there
are bnt eight or ten persons in all.
I want to write-you later more about
the climate and its hygienio rela
tions. X.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Adopted at St. a 10,18T3.
StMahed, tint, That the Republics!! pexty contin
ues to b« the party of progress and reform That
while«pledging itself anew to the great principles
ofoniTersal freedom and equal human rights with
which it has triumphed In the past, and which it has
permanently incorporated In government, State and
National ft meet* boldly new questions as they
arise,In the same spirit of devotiontothe rights of
the people, irrespective of class or condition, and
thatIt presents^he flrst example of a great party
wise and Just enough to correct Its own errors and
abuses.
Second. That whereas the Republican party has
ever been the friend of the oppressed—securing free
domfortbe slave, giving a home to the landless, ob
tainingfromEuropean countries a recognition of
cltiaenship here for adopted citiunt—It now greets
with heartysympathy and an extended hand every
movement to secure to agriculture and labor their
due influence, interest and rights.
Third. The producing, commercial and industrial
interests of the country should have the best and
cheapest model of transportation possible, and whUe
capital invested in such means of transit, whether by
railroad or otherwise, should be permitted the right
of reasonable remuneration all abuse in their man
agement, excessive rates, unjust or oppressive dis
criminations against localities, persons or interests,
be corrected by law, and the people should be
protected from such wrongs and all improper and
arbitrary use ef the growing power of railroad and
other corporations.
fourth. That In our opinion, no rights should be
Tested In railroad corporations beyond the control of
future legislation, and that such laws should be en
acted as will limit to Just and reasonable rates all
tolls, freightsand charges of railroad and transporta
tion companies, and protect the people from imposi
tion and that the legislature should attach such
conditions to all new grants and the amendments or
extension of old charters, as will place the rights of
legislative control over such corporations beyond all
question.
Fifth We heartily applaud the active measures
of the late Congress in ferreting out and exposing
corruption. We have seen with profound regret, in
the developments made thereby, evidence ef political
and official corruption and the abuse ot responsible
positions by men of all political parties to further
personal ends, and we demand pure official conduct
and the punishment of unfaithful public men, Bute
and National, who, having betrayed the confidence
freely extended to them, shall not be shielded from
the disgrace of their acts by any partisanship of onrs
and we denounce all Credit Mobilier transactions,
whatever be their form.
Sixth. When retrenchment is required to lighten
the burden of taxation and to continue the redaction
of the public debt, an increase of salaries is unwise.
We condemn without reserve the voting for or re
ceiving of increased pay for servicesalready rendered,
and demand that the provisions of the late act of
by which the salaries were increased
should promptly and unconditionally repealed.
Seventh. That the wise, patriotic and efficient ad
ministrationof Gov. Horace Austin entitles him to the
unqualified approbation ot the whole people of the
State. That the able and faithful discharge of the
responsible duties of the office of Attorney General
by the Hon. F.R. E. Cornellmerit the highest public
commendation.
Eighth. That we heartily endorse the action of
the late Legislature in instigating and reforming the
abuses in the office of State Treasurer.
Ninth. That in view of the recent decision of the
land Department at Washington in favor of certain
railroad companies, and against a large class of set
tlersupon a portion of the public lands In this State,
whereby great injury and suffering Is likely to result
to such settlers, this Convention earnestly requests
such action oh the part of our Senators and Represen
tatives in Congress, as shall secure the honest set
tler against any loss and Injury as far as possible.

FOR
The undersigned, Jobbers, Wholesale Dealers and Manufacturers of St. Paul, would
most respectfully call the attention ef our numerous friends throughout the North
west to the fact that we are determined, this year to offer even greater inducements
(if possible) than ever before, both as regards extensive steaks and the lowest market
prices. Receiving our goods direct from first hands, both in this country and in Eu
rope, and relying on our location and excellent facilities for the prompt shipment of
goods to any point desired, we are enabled to offer inducements superior to any other
market in the West. St. Paul is admitted to be the best Western Market for all kinds
of farm products, and shipperswill find it to their own advantage to make consign
ments to our Commission Merohants.
