At tome \ General, telegraphed from Washington, is another piece of flagrant injustice lo the State of W isconsin, indeed, to the whole Northwest; and what is meant by it, we do not just now understand. Washington, \ng. 7. —Attorney General Williams decides; First, that the operation of conditions sub sequent m a cotign ssiottal grant of public hinds does not, depend upon rules of common law applicable to Mich conditions, but, upon the inten tion of Congress as gathered from Ihe language employed in the grant itself. Second, that the grant of lands made h\ Congress to the State id W isconsin, by th > act of Con gress of June fth, !85(>, (o aid m the construction of certain railroads, in which it wis provided that if said roads are not completed with in ten years no further sales shall he made and the lands un-old shall revert to the Unite 1 States, is de termined as t the lands unsold at the time by the failure to complete Ihe road as specified n the act, and that no congressional action or ju dicial proceedings are necessary, hut thill such nnsoM hands will be remitted to the public domain by publication of an order bv the Sec retary of the Interior restoring them to settlement and m irket. W e print below the fair and for cible coinin' nts, on the uncalled for opinion of the Attorney General, hv the St. Paul IVess : ■UK A'l loK.VKY GENERALS RKUARKAHI.E (.PINION. ) eKlerday we published a M ashington dispatch, announcing that Attorney General Williams has rendered an opinion to the effect that the St. Croix & Bayfield land grant is determined or forfeited by 'he failure to complete the road as specified in the act, and that no t ongr- ssonal action or Judicial pro ceedings are necessary, but that the lands remaining unsold can be re mitted to the public (h>n>.iiii on the order of the Secretary of the Inte rior. The gromi lof the Attorney Generals opinion is the preliminary opinion that ‘‘the operation ot con ditions subsequent in a Congres sional grant of public lands, does not depend upon the rules of common law applicable to such con ditions. hut upon the intention ot Cos tigress gathered from the language employed in the grant itself.” By its own strength the Attorney Cen. s decision will scarcely stand alone. According to the terms of the grant, a certain specific thing is to be (lone before the title to the land < can be fully acquired. There was at the time of the grant, some show ot compliance with its conditions, considerable costly grading hav ing been performed toward the construction of the Bayfield road. Suppose the state of Wisconsin should claim, as it might do for the purpose of avoiding a forfeiture, or to obt a'm a judicial adjudication of its rights that the Congressional condi tions had been fulfilled: what tribunal but a court of competent jurisdiction or Congress after a full investigation, is t > decide the dispute between the State and the hand 1. parlment of the government? When, and by u hat pow n r, except the dictum of the Attorney General, was the Sec retaiy ot the Interior clothed with authority to decide, finalK and forever, disputes of this kind?’ Un der the same ruling a completed land grant road might be deprived ot its endowment upon the assump tion of the Secretary that its acts were insufficient to meet the re quirements of the Legislature. Grave issues ot fact, involving im portant interests and rights, are not left to be decided by the one man power, under a government which has provided legal machinery for Just such purposes. But fortunately there is much higher authority than the Attorney General for believing that his opin ion is bad law, based upon unsound premises. The Circuit Court ot the United Sates, through Mr. Justice Miller, (Judge Dillon coinciding) has recently passed upon this very question, and the matter is now be fore the Supreme Court for final ad judication. At the June term ot the Circuit Court, in 1572, in the case. VOLUME 4. of Sclndenbi rg, el ah, vs. Samuel llarritnan, Judge Miller held, after full argument, that the St. Croix A Bayfield grant, having been made to the State and not to any individ ual or corporation, it is the exclu sive right of the Fu'ite i Stales to claim the benefit of default, if any ! has occurred, and that until such lefatill has been established either by an act ot Congress, or by decree of court, or both, the original grant to the State of Wise- msin stands good, and that the State is the absolute owner of the lands, subject 4< the trusts upon which Congress lias 'granted them. Judge Miller sta ted, in rendering his decision, that the same question h id several tunes previously conic before him, and that his decision was in accordance with tie uniform rulings of the Circuit and Supreme Courts in analogous cases. Moreover the defence of i landman, who was the agent of the Stale of W iseonsin, was based upon the opinion ot Hon. Jeremiah Black, when he was Attorney General of the I idled States, in a similar case So that the archives of General i Williams’ own office, as well as the formal decision of the Circuit Court of Ihe United States, oppose the new and radical theory now an nounced. As Judge Miller’s de cisions are seldom reversed bv the Supreme Court, it is reasonable to anticipate a final decision from the court of last resort also in opposi tion to tiie Attorney General’s views. As the matter is in progress of ulti mate determination, it is surprising that Mr. W illiams did not consider it becoming in him to await an au thoritative adjudication, and not to run the risk ot a legal snubbing. THE NORTH WISCONSIN. PROGRESS OF THE GREAT WORK —A BRIGHT FU TURE FOR POLK COUNTY. W hilo in tho 0.-isteni part of the county a lew clays since, we irn proved the occasion to t ike a walk along the line of the North Wiscon sin railroad for a short distance At no place in the county is there ; o much life, Imsiness and excite ment as exists now upon the line of the road in Black Brook. 500 men are at work at different points on the hne, between New Richmond and Turtle lake. About -00 are located on this section m the upper part of the town. Mr. Fisher from Grand Rapids, Wis.. luis 200 men on his ten mile contract which reaches a point near Marsh lake. Division Kngineer Remington is budding a house on Case G irsuch’s farm ami with his family willoccnp\ it soon. He informs ns that n itlioul a doubt this section of the road would be c-mipleted and ready for ill * iron in October. Presiden* John Hum bird can be found at the railroad office on Mr. Gorsuch’s place. W e have ascertained as nearly as possible the exact location of the line of the road through Polk coun ty, and think that the following des cription is correct: The road en ters Polk county in the sej- sec tion 35, town 32, range 10, passes into section 32, on the nwf iiwj en ters section 25, runs to the | post on nw [ nw[ section 25, town 32, range 10, thence within 30 rods of the center of section 24, town 32, range 10, and enters range 15 in section 19 a little north ot the | post on the west side of the sec tion runs thence diagonally across section 19, thence northeast through section IT, 8 and 9 enters the town of Lincoln in section 4, town 32, range 15. It, then takes a course diagonally across section 4, runs t hence on east side of se ] se ] sec tion 33, town 33, range 15; diagon ally across section 27 on the beach on the east side of Marsh lake at the water's edge, thence diagonally across the sc| sol section 22. and across the centre of ii't j nw ’ section 24 town 38, range 15, and Barron county sw| section 19, town 33 range 14, The company will build about three miles of road in Barron coun ty, to a point near Moon s lake, and within o.V miles ot .Turtle lake.

The long days of dreary anxiety, watch ing and waiting, and of expectation have passed. They have champed to days of gla Iness, and prosperity to tin- expectant settlers. What ever may be in store for the North M iseonsin railroad company in the future in regard to the lan ! grant, it is certain that tin* road through P lk County will have the ears run ning on it before the snow flies next winter. The Polk County Press congratulates the people, the railroad company, and the future settlor, upon the achievements of this grand n sulr.— Polk (10. Press. Superior, Aug. 15, 187 4. Ed. Times : \ on suggested to me to make a note or two of travels to fid this column. My mind now re curs to two places visited by me, widely apart yet geographically ly ing in the Mississippi valley, one in New Mexico, the other in .Minneso ta, and hiitli representing the lead ing features of th dr respective sec tions of country. Alth oiigh the two spots are ehdit hundred miles apart, you may mount and ride over wide plains front one to the other, and then if not tired of travel, keep on south To the Isthmu-, or going north lose yourself in the polar wastes. I say this to express my notion of the great interior open spaces of this continent at which I hav ■ caught but a glimpse. i'he latitude of Santa Fee may fix tin* first point ad ve mentioned, that of the place from which ! write will indicate the second. I will observe that in Col rado and New Mexico it seems as if an ocean once had turned its vast undulating body into solid 'and, and its surface had be come sud lenly of In* firm earth, so boundless and regular are the plains, rolling up to the very feet of the mountains, into and between which they p >ur like bays and estuaries Peaks isolated, or in gyoups, stand for islands, Art round about as it were with tranquil sens, which some mighty enchantment had in a twink ling stilled and fixed forever. Tims I had a vision of the Ap >s tle Glands, of tiie Thunder Cliffs, and the Pictured Rocks, and of all that wondrous panorama displayed to tiu; vo} agers of Idak Superior on a clear summer’s day, inciudi g the while caps even, only that my myth ical sea, when it went to rest long ago, had tossed them up to be caught and eternally thereafter worn by the mountains. The lii'd-wlnter of that country is .March, But I felt about the same warmth of the sun in those days a< Ido now. No snow to speak of had then fallen, and that had disappear ed in a few hours. It fell in April however in abundance, but only to g< ; •■. s rapidly is it had come. They pray for the snow there and receive it as a benificent answer from above, for it is the harbinger of ; bountiful grass and pasturage. From it the springs are replenished, and the streams are fed at their sources in the mountains by its gradual melting through tin season. The sky is cloudless five-sixths ot the time, and the sun is the bright, ever-present ruler of the year. Xo wonder that the Mexicans made Sol a god, raised temples to him high as the hills, and instituted in his praise a magnificent worship. At San Jose I witnessed a celebra tion in honor of the sun, which had survived the Conquest and the ut most endeavors ever since of the Catholic clergy to suppress it. A little imagination kindled by the scene carried the beholder back three centuries and placed him in presence of the gorgeous but awful ceremonials of the Aztec religion. I should say that the climate of the 35th parallel at the elevation of mx thousand feet, would answer all the requirements of health, comfort, physical endurance, and whatever else goes to make a body feel well strong and elastic. It is essential!" a pastoral country and of flocks and herds it is t lie natur al limne. An mils graze there from I the year's beguiling to tin? end, and ke p in th ■ best >f condition with out shelter or fodder. Cattle are left to ihems Iv. , aid range hundreds of miles. W lie:; tlie own?rs wish to inspect their t lions mds <r tens of thousands (tor he who reckons by the hundred is of but bundle wealth),' they “round up.” tliit is on a day cer tain, ser ! out lands of mounted men the ! Tory, each with their appoint and district, say for instance, a county. At once all ride from cir cumference to colter, driving in all manner of four-footed beasts, to a Common corral, like unto the sheet in Peter’s dream, ot to the fisher man - net of a well-known and more modern Peter who was in inn my companion in travels, and who will not deny the aptness of these meta phors. Sheep in New Mexico go in flocks of 1000 to 30UU. and ate attended by native herders. Tii-ir multipli cation is very rapid, tiie diseases few and easy to combat, the cost of keeping slight, wages of employes low, living cheap, and after all out- for transportation etc., there is left an immense margin of'profit; so that all over Colorado and New M exico, men are quietly amassing great fortunes from sheep husband ry, and from the advance in the val ue of their immense ranges which they have been so fortunate as to secure, over til! others. i close here now and m v say a word or two furth r at suite other time. X. “7 UK LA KE SUPERIOR REG 1 ION." ■ I Pew Not • ■ nd Observed ■>,, by Major Turner , Editor of (he \\ meotisin State Retfiakr, about Superior, Duluth, Etr. Timm lay, duly to.—Settling our score at the M a rooolitan we took a carriage and were soon whirled to the depot of the S;. Paul A Lake Superior K. R., where we took tick ets for Duluth, 140 miles distant. I to be an unusa stii about the depot, and we were not long in learning that St. Paul was to take an airing out at White Bear Lake, i little beet of w ater which lias acquired c ons lerahle local ce lebrity tor it ■ rare heautv. Several extra cars were necessary for the accommodation of the excursionists. * Out journey lor the day was through as forbidding a country as one could well see. Huckleber ry ]> 1 iJii- and marshes; ridges of Jack-pine an 1 stinted Xorways, cc <l ir and tamarack swamps, with oc casional groves of valuable pine limb r, furnished an endless pano rama. At Hinckley we dined, and found rare eating house accommo dations. Everything was in excel lent trim, and we enjoved a meal second only to that we to <k at the Fox House on die morning of our ! departure. 'Twenty miles from Du luth we arrived at Thomson, the of the N >rt h Paci fic road with the St. Paul & Lake Superior R. R. Wo went forward again, and a*ked permission from the engineer to take a seat on the pilot. He smiled, and replied “yes, hut you will need to take care of yourselves.’ A Presbyterian cler gyman from Duluth also took a seat with us, and the quarto made a rare figure-head for a train through the Dalles of the St. Louis, which stream forms the boundary line for several miles between Minnesota am 1 Wis consin. Our ri ie for a dozen of miles was grand beyond anything we ever experienced in our life. I he track of the road is on the lef t bank oi tiie St. Louis, and has a gradient of 75 or So feet to the mile, we were informed. There is no use for motive power in making the de scent. Give the train a chance and it would go it alone, and to the de vil, too, in a very short space of time. The brakes were partially set and the train commenced its de scent. It would require Harve Rot’s \ erinoiit ladies to give any thing Tike a proper description of the sublimity and majestic grandeur of the St. Louis, as it courses its way through the Dalles, over a series oi falls and rapids, which succeeded eacli other for a number of miles in such rapid success!, u as to practic ally amount to a continuous cascade. \\ could well understand why the river, lor a dozen of miles, should he marked on the local maps as af fording “limitless water-power, lor there was enough of it to turn the spindles of 10,Got) Lowells and .Man chester,s, The road itself is a mar vel of engineering. A continual se ries of high ridges and deep ras ines flank the river. The road is built from point to point of these ridges, the ravin -s which form a large part of the distance, being spanned by trestle work. Sitting on the pilot we look down on the top of large trees, far beneath us, and we reflect that it there is going to be an acci dent to the train it is as well to be on the pilot as .anywhere, for if we leave the track, we go to eternal smash anyway. Crossing over one of these gulches, and looking down to our right on the dark, rapid, an gry waters of the St. Louis, surging on their way to Superior’s placid bosom, and it affords a view which might well delight the landscape painter. But few scenes of such wild grandeur are to be found. Thus descending we drop down to the ‘ water level, and making a sharp turn around a promontory, the clear, beautiful waters of Lake Superior, “the father of waters,” lirst greet our vision. The days of Oiney ami Le Bruit instinctively revert to us and we arc carried back to our childhood, when we traced Lake Superior, Lake of the Woods and ILiiny Lakes on our slates, for the -chool-d ime, and dreamed that some day, may be, we might see them! At Fond dti Lac (end of the lake) we first strike slack-water, and our Duluth companion informs us that light draught boats sometimes as cend to this point. Oneota is soon passed, and wo find ourselves, short ly after, in the “Zenith City.’’ First engaging quarters at the Clark House we start out for a look about town, as we have a couple of hours to spare before supper. The city has a population estimated all the way from 3,500 to 4,500 inhabitants, but there is abundant evidence that at one time those figures would not express the number of people she contained. There are many vacant buildings, which sh w that business, as is generally the case with anew town, was considerably overdone at the start. Without completing our observation, we return to the hotel t > h ■ regaled with an excellent sup per, of which strawberries and cream formed one of the principal dishes. We had seen no strawberries for several weeks down in I be “States,” but they reappear here, in this later clime, ni great abundance. At an early hour we seek repose alter the weariue -of the day’s doings. Friday, July 17. — The City of Duluth, anew steanvr of the Ward line, has arrived during the night and lie* at the dock. It will take all day to load her, and more too, for she is to give an excursion to a party in the hay, in the afternoon, who have come up from St. Paul to present her with a set of colors; so we have a full day to ourselves. After breakfast we take a tug for Superior, across the bay six miles distant, we believe. Ou our way we pass a little tug which a couple of boys at home might claim some special ownership in, if they should see it, for it bears the familiar names of ‘‘Fred and Will.” How different minds will run in the same channel! Landing at Superior, we make as hasty a stroll about town as our limited time will allow The city has a population of 000 or 700 in habitants. As it has no connection, by rail, with the outside world, its business is utterly prostrate. The inhabitants are greatly depressed in spirit, but entertain the hope that when they do get railroad facilities they will command the busine s at the head of the lake, by reason ot their superior location, a hope that is reasonably founded, for certainly she has one of the finest town sites on the lake, and as magnificent a harb<*. as the sun ever shone upon; NUMBER 50. : while Duluth has neither, if we may except the harbor she stole from Superior—the legality of which i> receiving an investigation from the United Stales courts. We will not undertake to inform our readers of the points at issue, in this memora ble coutroversey, for without an ac companying map to illustrate the situation, it would be quite difficult to make the matter properly under stood \\ e met several old ac quaintances in Superir, but were forced to leave them all too soon, by the shrill whistle of the tug sum moning u* aboard, so we partoi with our friends and bade good bye to Superior, witii a heart full of yin pathy for her in her affliction. Mr. Seward wrote ot unhappy Ireland, “she is beautiful in her sadness, and the sympathies of mankind assure her a future.” It is so witii Superi or, we sincerely believe. Duluth is overshadowing her at present, hut she is u monstrosity and a fraud. Nature may be perverted by the cu pidity of man, as has been done here, but time will make all things right. Returning to Duluth, we complete our observations by as cending the heights back of the city. Tne city lies on the easterly slope of a steep, rocky bluff. The first street is the business portion of the city; two and three streets back are the principal residences and churches, ot which there are a number of fine structures. If man had half a chance a fine city would be reared and maintained here; but how can it be so, when there is not a street in the city that can 'be traveled without the greatest danger, owing to its decliv ity, and there is scarcely soil enough on the out-cropping rocks, in the entire city, to make a respectable potato patch. While there are many really fine residences, (hey have and cun have no appropriate surround ings, such as garden-, shrubbery, | etc. We were told (bat there was not a well in the entire city; cer tainly, there are very few. Cisterns are blasted out of the rocks, and water is hauled up the bluffs, in or dinary water carls, to supply the ! every day demands. The out houses are run with elevators, we suppose, and Corning declared that every man could see what his front neigh bor was going to have for dinner, by looking down his chimney. We repeat, Duluth is a fraud. So after tea we go aboard the City of Du luth, which lias Just returned from t lie excursion, engage our stale rooms and prepare to leave the Ze nith City with few regrets. We re tire at an early hour and are soon locked in the arms of Morpheus, while the work of freighting the boat with wheat and Hour continues. LOGS AND LUMBER A T STILL \VA TER. The Jfessetuyer's review tor the i week ending Aug. 7th, s lys : The past week lias been beyond doubt the uiiil week of the season ’as regards sales. Some small lots |of loose logs have been said fur j sawing by mills located in this vi i cinity. and sales ol a few strings have been made to down river par- I lies. The stock of logs on hand is | ample for the demand likely to ex ist later in the season. The theory among log men generally is that the favorable conditions of the crops throughout the Mississippi valley taken together with the low price of lumber must stimulate a demand for lumber during the fall months. We do not noiice any change in prices but grades of long and short logs are held firm at prices ranging from §lO to §12.25. The stock of first-class while pine long log is un usually small, and is held at from §11.25 to §l2 per M feet; rafted best long Norway logs §lO to §ll per M feet; common dimension from §7 to §0; short logs, best marks of Clam and Yellow River, are held at from §1 1.50 to §12.25. This class of logs are extra in total ity, ami in size measure from 75 to 90 M feet to the string. The boom corporation is turning out logs at the rate of two million feet per day, and will, from present indications, close their labors f,r this season about Augu-t 20th, ah i hirnsixc sc a i h ?j>.i• 1 w'k iw'ks 4 W*ks 3 toon (1 in s 1 yr. 1 sqttar , si.o> $ t.5-< I i':o : I.im $ 00 $lo.o;i 2 Miuai'cs. 2.00 3.(Xt 500 7.0a ion 15,00 3vju-iws 3.00 4.00 6.00 10.00 15 W 20.00 ’f c lum'i. 5.00 750 10 00 15 no i‘ j 30.00 - i- 2 v.Ou.mi, S >..ni 12.00 1000 -l.iH 35 00 MOO IC'lmnti. li i;i I''.'! 5J2 00 3o"0 5-100 SO 00 A- 1 p . 1 ! • r anted tl M are of ten 1:lis o? ties kiud •>t t j 1 ■ J’usiutss cai ii.-i 5 lines 01 ir.-t $5.(4) t y ir.
