FROM the report of the last sale of
seven per cent. Texas gold bonds it
appears that the issue of $1,000,000
in bonds cost the State $538,385—
rather an extravagant brokerage. At
present the State Treasury is unable
to meet promptly any other demands
than interest on the public debt and
the current expenditures on account
of public schools.
THE Owatonna Journal, in an ar

the members of the profession so con

appellation of a bummers' association
more befitting its character, the more
seldom they meet the better will be
their reputation, and thegreater their
influence." It is evident that the
editor of the Journal does not know
what he is talking about and this it
properly attributable to the fact that
he has not been in the habit of at
tending the meetings of the Associa
tion. There has been no "bamming"
whatever done by the members of the
Minnesota Editorial Association at
their annual Conventions they have
paid theirbills and asked no favors
of any man, If the editor of the

OOVBBNOK DAV1W MESSAGE.
At noon on Friday Governor Da
vis delivered his second annual mes
sage to the Legislature. He opens
with a reference to the report of the
St.*- uditor, who estimates the act
ual \..iue of taxable property in the
State to be atleast $300,000,000, mak
ing allowance for all exemptions. A
special State tax of two and one-tenth
mills will yield an amount sufficient,
with delinquent taxes to be collected,
mnA other, sources of revenue, to meet
all deferred appropriations, the ex
penses of the State government, and
all other nnrwsssry public disburse
ments. The re enactment of the ten
per cent, penalty on delinquent real
estate taxes and of five per cent, on
personal property taxes is recom
mended. Also the substitution of
county for township assessors.
Total receipts during the fiscal year
ending NOT. JO, 1878 were....
Total disbursement. .........
TheGovernor refersto theConstitu
tional amendmenta adoptedat thelast
election, and urges the Legislature
to grant to women the right to vote
upon school questions and to hold
any office pertaining to the manage
ment of schools, as it is authorised
by one of these amendments to do.
He regrets that he has not been able
to appoint women to positions which
would give them a voice in the man
agement of our State institutions—
the institute for thedeaf, dumb and
blind, the hospital for the insane and
the reform school.
Some amendments to the law pro
viding for a tax to establish and
maintain an inebriate asylum will be
necessary in order to render more ef
ficient the instrumentalities by which
the tax is to be collected.
The Adjutant General's office has

missioner is summarized. That offi

The report of the Board of Com
missioners appointed to examine
the country between the head of
steamboat navigation on the St. Croix
river and the waters of Lake Superi
or at the head of that lake, with a
view to determining the mostfeasible
route for a canal connecting those
points to make a careful survey of
the route which promises most forthe
future development of the country
and also to extend their survey so as
to include in their report a correct
statement regarding the feasibility of
a canal from Duluth to some point
upon the Mississippi river near San
dy Lake, in this State. The commis
sioners attended to but the first part
of the work designated and that very
imperfectly. They examined three
routes, all of which offer serious ob
stacles.
The Governor is unable to agree
with the Superintendent of Public
Instruction in his animadversions up
the act of 1875, by which it was
in substance provided that an annual
tax of one mill on the amount of as
sessment shall be levied, and when
collected distributed by giving to
each school district the amount of
tax collected in that district. He
thinks this is right, and that there is
no good reason why the cities should
be compelled to contributetothe sup
port of the rural schools. He agrees
with the Superintendent in the opus
ion that the income arising from the
lease or sale of the school lands
should be distributed to the different
townships throughout the State in
proportion to the number of scholars
in each township between the ages of
five and twenty-one years, as provid
ed in the constitution, and notin pro
portion to the number of persons be
tween theages of five and twenty-one
yean as required by the statutes.
The word "scholars" has a definite
meaning, more limited than the word
"persons" and was doubtless used by
the framers of the constitution with
a view to precision. The primary
definition of the word "scholar" is
"one who learns of a teacher." It is
particulary obvious that there must
be in every community many persons
who are not described by any defi
nition of which the word "scholar"
is susceptible. And he has come to
the conclusion with the Superin
tendent that the townships are en
titled to this money upon the basis of
scholars in the public schools, and
not pupils in all schools.
The University of Minnesota has
made substantial progress during the
year. There are now two hundred
and thirty-seven students in attend
ance. By the construction of new
buildings and the important acquisi
tion of labratory, geological cabinet,
and other instruments of instruction,
the facilities of the University have
been very much increased. The Re
gents report that about thirty-one
sections of salt spring lands are due
to this State from the United: States
under the act by which• Minnesota
was admitted into the Union, and
they recommend that the Legislature
memorialize Congress for leave to
make selections of this quantity of
land. The University has still 149,
874 acres of unsold land, and a pro
ductive fund of $246,648. He
again urges that the town and city
schools conform their course* as fair

There are now in operation in Min
nesota 1,954* miles of railroad. The
net earnings were $867,969.66 less in
1875 than in 1874. The Governor is
of the opinion that the railroad bill
of last winter has given satisfaction,
and that no further. legislation will
be necessary so long as the present
situation remains unchanged.

The number of pupils in the deaf

the main building connecting the

The number of childrent in the
Soldiers' Orphans' Home at Winona
is 74, being a diminution of 11 dur

The hospital for the insane at Bt
Peter has been completed. During
the year, 669 patients received treat

It is estimated that the average daily

be required.
The present number of convicts in:

The expenses of the prison have been

earnings of the prison and the value
of supplies on hand, $20,678.88.
leaves the balance $19,320.18* the

inmate and $19.11 per capita less
than last year. The prison building
has been enlarged by the addition of
52 cells. The Board ask $27,000 to
complete the wall around the prison
grounds and to build a laundry and
bath house...
Safer and better rooms are needed
for the library and collections of the
State Historical Society. Thelibrary
now contains over 16,000 volumes.
The State {Board of Health urge
the necessity for an Inebriate Asy
lum for a place for the care offeeble

The Governor strongly urges a lib

The Fish Commissioners have
placed in the waters of the State
about 30,000 California salmon 19,
000 Atlantic salmon, 4,900 land
locked salnion, dividing'them among
the lakes and rivers of twenty-two
counties. In October last 400,000
eggs of the California salmon were
placed in hatching house?at Stillwa

an appropriation of $5,000 to assist
them in the work of planting these
fish thoroughly throughout the State.
The report of the Commissioner of
Statistics exhibits the progress of
agriculture for twenty-five years.
When the territory of Minneapolis
was organized in 1849 its population
was 4,057. In 1850 there were' only
157 farms, comprising about 3,000
acres,fromwhich were produced 1,
400 bushels of wheat, 6,000 bus. of
corn, and 16,000 bus. of oats. A
quarter of a century has worked
wonderful changes. Our population
is now 597,389 the number of til
led acres is 2,816,423. From these
the production in 1875 was 31,475,
000 bushels of wheat, 15,775,000
bushels of oats and 9,500,000 bushels
of corn. In ten years the. population
hiss mcreased 138 per cent., while the
number of tilled acres has increased
302percent.
The area of the State in acres is
51,701,760, of which 14,106,269
acres have not yet been surveyed by
the United States. Inthe 37,595,491
surveyed acres are 60,000 farms, of
which, as above stated, 2,816,413
acres are under tillage, from which
have been produced during the past
year the results which are presented
in the foregoing table, showing an
actual product from agriculture
alone of nearly thirteen dollars from
each cultivated acre, the area under
tillage being less than five and a half
per cent of the lands comprised with

product of about sixty-one dollars to

Minnesota is now in the eighteenth
year of her existence as a State.
Within that period she has grown
from a mere outpost of civilisation to
be a populous, powerful and wealthy
commonwealth. She possesses twothou
sand miles of railroad. She holds as
tributaries two great water systems,
the one bearing her ptoJswsl to the
gflf, the other carry**them overthe
great lakes to the sea. Her school
system is admirable both in concep
tion and operation. Under" the in
fluence of a salubrious climate the
people are wholly exempt from many
diseases which in other region* form
a part of the daily ills of life. More
wheat is raised in Minnesota than in
any other State. The failure ofcrops
which make the occupation of agri
culture a hazardous one elsewhere

effort ha* been made to bring
those facts tothe. attention of those

trymen setting forththe advantages of
the States competing for his prefer
ence. We have no such lepiesenta
tives andehavelostthousandswho by
proper efforts could easily have been
induced to cast their lot with us.
This subject is earnestly commended
by the Governor to the consideration
of the Legislature.
He suggests that a committee be
appointed to confer with the authori
ties of Wisconsin with a view to the
amicable settlement of the suit ofthat
State atrainst Duluth in regard to
theship canal across Minnesota Point.
The Governor points out the fact
that the Legislature cannot decline
to make a now apportionment, on the
basis of the last census, except by de
nying to the new counties the rights
'which section 2 of article 8 of the
constitution was intended to give
them.
The commissioners appointed to
disburse the $75,000 appropriated by
the last Legislature for the benefit of
settlers rendered destitute by thedev
astations of grasshoppers in several
of thefrontiercomities, accomplished
the object intended with the expendi
ture of but $49,981.44.
It is recommended that the report
of the committee appointed to exam
ine into the grasshopper matter in
detail be widely distributed among
the peoplethatthe remedial measures
which it suggests may receive a fair
trial in case any portion of our State
shall again be subject to\avage.
Of the $20,000 placed at the dis
posal of the Governor by the last
Legislature far the purchase of food
and clothing for Buffering settlers on
the frontier, but $8,554.91 was ex
pended.
The Governor again animadverts
upon the defects of the statutes re
lating to the punishment for the
crime of murder, whereby it is left
to thejury to determine whether the
culprit shall suffer death. Historic
al illustrations drawn from the official
records of the last year are produced
to provethe imperfections of the'stat
ute, and he urges the Legislature to
soamend it that it will not delegate a
power of option to the caprices, the
obstinacy, the lack of judgment or
the false humanity of the panel.
Gov. Davis concludes his message
with an elaborate presentation of the
old railroad bond question, suggesting
the example of the Geneva court of
arbitration. He says: If aboard
of commissioners composed of men
of or not of this State, eminent for
Integrity and judicial wisdom, could
be invested with jurisdiction to hear
and determine the questions involved,
by a consideration of every equity,
legal or moral, existing on either side
of the controversy, it cannot be pre
sumed that our people would hesitate
to perform theaward.

The message opens with a brief
reference to the unexampled progress
of Minnesota, during the pest quar
ter of a century, and then passes to
a consideration of the evils of a- re
dundant currency which has caused
an unwarranted expansion of credit
and an extravagance in business and
household affairs, which, if persisted
in, can lead to but one result.
The continued increase of the in
debtedness of counties and towns and
cities suggests a proposal for a con
stitutional limitation of the total
accumulation of local debt, for any
and. all purposes,, similar to that
which now restricts debt in aid of
railroads only.
He advises a rigid retrenchment
of public expenses, especially in the
more general conduct of the affairs
of the State, and as a practical step
in that direction suggests an abbrevi
ation of the length of the sessions of
the Legislature. He is of the opin
ion that a session of forty days would
be found sufficient A constitutional
.amendment providing for a specified
annual salary for members in lieu of
the present per. diem, or an amend
ment providing for biennial sessions
would meet with his approval. A
considerable curtailment of expendi
tures could be made by reducing the
amount of public printing done, es
pecially in the way of "executive
documents." A further retrenchment
might be made by a consolidation of
some of the existing State offices.
The office of Railroad Commission
er should either be abolished or its
powers so enlarged as to subserve a
more obvious public use than it does
at present
The Governor is of the opinion
that, in making the new apportion
ment, a numerical reduction of both
bouses of the Legislature might be
made.
The receipts of the State from
railroad earnings fell about $23,000
short of the year before, and. the tax
collections were about $114,000 less.
The latter reduction is owing chiefly
to the smaller levy and decreased
amount derivedfromdelinquent tax
es.'
Hebelievesthat it would be difficult
to exaggerate the importance to Min
nesota of a presentation, at the Cen
tennial exposition to commence May
next, of her varied and ample prod
ucts. From a mere practical view

immigration, by an exhibition of ag
'ricultural and industrial products,

and other evidences of the resources
and attractions of pur State will be
so extraordinary that to neglect it
will be, in his opinion, a grave mis
take. He therefore recommends such
prompt and fit action on the part of
the Legislature as will secure the end
desired,''''
The Governor presents forcibly the
importance of greater attention to
the encouragement of immigration.
A thorough revision and wide circula
tion of the State Immigration-pam
phlet would provide an, effective aid
toward the desired purpose.
The vital importance of the subject
of tree culture is urged, and it is rec
ommendedthatCongress bememorial
ised to so amend thetimberact to in
sure a practical result to its plainly
beneficent intention.
He argues in favor of such an
amendment of the present law relat
ing to trials for murder as shall in
flict a capital punishment for a capit
tal crime.
An amendment of the tax law giv
ing timely notice, to owners before
final forfeiture of their delinquent
property is recommended. Also the
frequent and exhaustive examinationsof
of the accounts of public officers, to
insure correctness and^ care and hon
esty. ...».
Congress should be memorialized to
provide a government of law for the
Indians, or bring them under the
laws of the State or Territory which
includes their reservations or within
which an offen se may have been com
mitted.
Governor Pillsbury also discusses
at considerable length the old rail
road bond question aid urges its
speedy and proper disposal. He
thinks the 600,000 acres of internal
improvement lands could, if judic
iously used, wipe out this obligation
In the consideration of the trans
portation question, while the highest
judicial authorities of the State have
asserted the right of the Legislature
to regulate the tariff rates of rail
roads,' thus placing the corrective
power within the reach of the peo
ple, he counsels mutual forbearance,
there being an actual identitybetween
the people and the railroads.
The Legislature is recommended to
memorialize Congress to extend the
time of the land grant of the North
ern Pacific railroad, which will ex
pire in 1877.
The improvement of the Mississip
pi and the Minnesota rivers, and of
the Fox and Wisconsin, and the
connecting of the waters of the
Mississippi with those of the great
lakes by a canal, is commended to
the attention of the Legislature.
The necessity for fostering the agri
cultural interests of the State re
ceives full attention.. The necessity
for legislation for the protection of
grain left by farmers with warehouse
men is pointed out

THE MUTUAL COUNCIL.
The Congregational churches chos
en as Mrs. Moulton's half of the
Mutual Council manifest some reluc
tance to accept the invitation to sit
in judgment upon the Plymouth
Church matter. It was expected
that a full list of the churches com
prising the Council Would have been
furnished Friday evening at the reg
gular business meeting of Plymouth
Church, and that the necessary ar
rangements could be at once perfect
ed for the assembly of the Council
but it transpired that no replies had
been received to the requests sent out
by Mrs. Moulton, and the matter was
postponed until Monday.
All of thechurches invited by Mrs.
Moulton to the Mutual Council have
been heard from, and all have
accepted. The list is said to include
some of the most eminent clergymen
in the denomination.
Dr. Scudder's church of Brooklyn
declines to take part in the proposed
mutual, council, claiming that the
question of Beecher's guilt or inno
cence will never be solved in this
world.

Dear Sir.—I had suffered from Catarrh
in an aggravated form for about twelve
years and for several yean from Bronchi
cal trouble. Triedmany doctors and things
with no lasting benefit. In May,,1872, be
coming nearly worn out with excessive
editorial labors on a paper in New York
City, I was attacked with bronchitis in a
severe form, suffering almost a total loss of
voice. I returned homehere, but had been
homeonly two weeks when I was complete
ly prostrated with hemorrhage from the
lungs, having Some seven spells within two
weeks, and three inside of nine days. In
the Septemberfollowing,I improved suffi
ciently to be able to be about, though, in a
very feeble state.' My bronchial trouble
remained and the catarrh was ten-fold
worse than before. Every effort for relief
seemed fruitless. I seemed to be losing
ground daily. I continued in this feeble
state, raising blood almostdaily, untilabout
thefirstof March '73, when I became so
bad as to be entirely confined to the house,
A friend suggested your remedies. But I
was extremely skeptical that they woulddo*
me no good, as I had lost all heart in rem
edies, and began to look upon medicine and
doctors with disgust. However, I obtained
one of your circulars,.and read it carefully,
from which I came to. the conclusion that
you understood your business, at least. I
finally obtained a quantity of Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, your Medical Discovery
and Pellets, and commenced their vigor
ous use according to directions. To my
surprise, I soon .began to improve. The
Discovery and Pellets, in a short time,
brought out a severe eruption, which
continued for several weeks. I felt much
better, my appetite improved, and I gained
strength and flesh. In three months every
vestige of the catarrh was gone, the bron
chitis had nearly disappeared, had no
cough whatever and I entirely ceased to
raise blood, and, contrary to the expect*- CMI^MU"
tion of some of my friends, the cure has I
remained permanent. I have had no wj£A
more hemorrhages from the lungs, and am
entirely free from catarrh, from which I
had suffered so much and so long. The
debt of gratitude I owe for the blessing I
have received at your hands, knows no
bounds. I am thoroughly satisfied, from
my experience, that your medicines Will
matter the wentformsof that odious dis
ease catarrh, as well as throat and. lung
diseases. I have recommended them to
Terr many and shall ever speak In their
praise. Gratefully yours.

MARKETS.
The Mark LaneEtprtoi weekly re.
view of the grain trade says: "In
the Paris market reports of the re
appearance of frost arrested the
downward "tendency of prices but
trade is stagnant, while in several
provincial markets quotations are a
shilling lower, Some places in Hol
land, Belgium and Germany have
been in sympathy but nowhere has
there been a material reduction ow
ing to the discontent of growers with
present rates. St. Petersburg is un
changed, and Odessa is closed, so
that shipments from both places must
cease for some time. In Adelaide,
Australia, whence we were recently
led to expect large shipments, prices
have suddenly risen a shilling per
quarter, and there is great difficulty
in. securing whole quantities."
