'*&** Wednesday. Janaary 28tb, 1885, Daniel W. Voorhees succeeds him self as IT. S. Senator flora Indiana. On the basis of the November vote the United States proper has .51,792,568 of population. The New York legislature has elected Mr. Wra.M. Evarts, Rep., United States Senator, to succeed Senator Lapham. has Col. Jno. C. Spooner, Rep., captured the senatorial plum in Wisconsin.succeeding Angus Cameron. Secretary Henry M. Teller, Interior Department, has been L. S\ Senator by the Colorado lure. of the elected lesrisla- Tnc Dakota capital removal bill has been amended by striking out "Pierre" and iuserting "Ordway" instead. It is doubtful whether the bill will pass. (Jen. T. L. Rosser, of Minneapolis, proposes to pension all the cx-Presi dents of the United States.' He fixes the amouut at $25,000 per annum and has prepared a bill in keeping with his views. The President has appointed Carral D. Wright of Massachusetts as Com missioner of Labor. The appointment was made with the understanding that Wright would not be molested by the incoming administration. On Tuesday of last week, a lard tank in a Sioux City packing house explod ed killing three men outright and scalding several others badly with the heated grease. The building which was built about two years ago, is a total wreck. It seems that the farmers of Minne sota and Dakota have really less cause to grumble than they thought,the prices they are getting for their wheat being considerably in advance of those receiv ed by their brethren in Iowa, Nebras ka and Kansas.Le Sueur News. Reliable information from Milwau kee is to the effect that winter wheat is in a very discouraging condition in nearly alljthe States, and there is a great^decrease in acreage. Minnesota, Dakota and Iowa will show a large falling off in area of spring wheat. As its name indicates, Seven Hickory township, Illinois, is a tough region. They have bad boys there, but they have teachers who are equal to any e mergency. The other day a Seven Hick ory township schoolmaster gently cor rected a pupil with a base-ball bat, and the boy died. The Renville Union does not take kindly to Senator Christensen's bill for removing county seats. It says there is scarcely a county in,the State with one third of the citizens voting, that would not want the county seat removed to some place, and thereby throw the county into a state of excitement and tumult, basides the sxpense ot a special election. Governor Hubbard last week receiv ed a telegram from Mr. Gould, repre senting the State farm at the New Or leans fair, slating that Minnesota had been awarded 10 prizes, three of them silver medals, on grapes, more than any other State, and the only State ex eept^California receiving silver medals. Also that Minnesota beats Ohio on ca tawbas. J. Jacobs, Barrett & Co's. circus employee who killed policeman Blair at Owatonna last summer, has been found guilty of manslaughter in the fourth degree and sentenced to four years in the State prison. A telegram to the Pioneer Press says great indigna tion is expressed at the verdict. "Blair should have been sent up for life," is the popular verdict. A terrible state of affairs is reported from Italy. The winter has been unu sually severe and snow avalanches have been of freequent occurrences. Whole villages are buried under the snow and ice and the death casualties count up into the thousands. Two thousand soldiers and as many citizens are engag ed in clearing away the snow and ice from off the luckless villages and their inhabitants. The extremely cold weather has giv en a beautiful appearance to Niagara Falls. An ice bridge has formed below the falls, the ice being packed together tor half a mile down the river. There was no ice bridge last Winter. The ice scenery equals that of 1882-3. Many parties cross over on the ice, and the Winter hotels are preparing for the guests that these midwinter attractions are sure to bring. Although the Illinois legislature has been in session since January 8th, the house is still without a permanent speaker. No legislative body in Ameri ca ever found itself in so strange and helpless a deadlock. The house is com posed of seventy-six republicans, seven ty-six democrats, and Elijah M. Haines. To say that Mr. Haines holds the bal ance of power would not begin to exry press the truth. Events for more than two weeks have proved that Mr. Haines holds not the balance merely, but the whole thing. The number of bills introduced into the Minnesota legislature for the regu lation of the transportation and the grain questions far exceed that of any other session of the legislature of this state. If those members who have in troduced bills bearing on these ques tions would form themselves into a com mittee and frame one bill, some" good might be accomplished but with the number now before the legislature and those that are vet to come, the people stand a very poor chance of getting the relief they expected.Rochester Po~st. "Too many bills," is just what defeat ed the adoption of a just and equitable measure to regulate these matter* by the legislature of 1883. The result will be the same this year unless the course above suggested is pursued. A Chicago Inter-Ocean reporter pro fesses to have made the discovery that armed companies of Socialists drill nightly in that citj. One of the order told the reporter that their military or ganization numbered 1,500 men. They propose in case of an outbreak of labor ers and a call upon the military, to side with the workingmen and take posses sion of the city. The several National Guard armories are guarded night and day for fear of an outbreak. Inter Ocean: Democrats have run Ohio about two years, and nearly every leading city in the state is well nigh bankrupt, and the farmers of the vari ous counties have seen their taxes steadily increasing under the rule of the promised "reformers." This year the taxes are about one-third larger, and the state has not 3'et begun to pay back the 2,000,000 to the saloons which was promised them for their support of the Democratic ticket in 1883-4. All England was thrown into a ter rible state of excitement last Saturday by an explosion in the Parliament buildings and at the Tower.Some thirty four persons were injured, some fatally. Both structures were badly damaged. The buildings were thronged with visi tors and they were chiefly the ones in juredinnocent sufferers of the fiend ish dynamite outrages. Numerous ar rests have been made and all the troops in the barracks have been served with ball cartridges. If these outrages upon the English government must continue, the perpetrators thereof could at least choose a time when innocent women and children will not be sacrificed. When the republicans took posses sion of government last week at theof Ohio capital, every democratic em ployee had to step down and out, and their places filled by republicans. This may be all right, but when Cleveland calls on these Ohio chaps to step down and out, they should not whine.St. Peter Herald. Let us see, how much of the Ohio government did the Republicans take possession of last week, anyhow? If our memory serves us right, there was a change of incumbents in but two State officesSecretary of State, and one member of the board of public works. The executive and all other branches of the government remain in Democratic hands. A Washington special of the 23d inst. says the committee on public lands re ported favorably on Maj. Strait's bill to provide for the adjustment of the grant of swamp lands to the State of Minne sota. A large number of settlers had taken under the pre-emption, home stead, or timber culture laws lands granted the state as swamp lands. To cancel these entries, by reason of thegages prior claim of the state, would work great hardship. Maj. Strait's bill au thorizes the state, on relinquishing its claim to such entries on swamp lands, to select an equal quantity of other lands from any of the public lands, not mineral, within the state not otherwise appropriated at the date of selection, to which the state shall re ceive title, the same as originally grant ed. Any such entries or filings thus relieved from conflict may be perfected into complete title, as if such lands had not been granted. It is provided that the act shall not be applicable to any entries or filings made subsequent to Jan. 1, 1883. MINNESOTA NEWS.

Mr. Thompson's bill relating to the of office of county commissioners proposes to increase the term from three to four years. Senator Morrison's bills amending the General Laws of 1875 The first, that guardians be compelledVl? to account in the probate court andPresident second, defining more clearly the sec tion which, lawyers are pretty sure, sets forth that resident guardians arc not required to pay probate tax. Mr. Stordock's bill relating to chat tel mortgages makes it the duty of the sheriff to make all foreclosures under chattel mortgages and prohibits it be ing done by agents. The bill also fixes fees, and is designed to prevent agents from making unnecessary expense in the foreclosure of chattel mortgages, as is being done in a good many cases. Chairman Stordock, of the railroad committee of the house, says the mem bers are working night and day, and he has little doubt that in a very short time they wilt agree upon a report, which will be in the shape of a substi tute bill.embodying what the committee regard as the best features of all thd bills introduced on the subject of rail road legislation. The judiciary committee of the sen ate considered Senator Owen's bill to prevent corners in grain, last Wednes day, and recommended its passage with amendment which, in the punitive clause strikes out the words "not less than $1,000," and thus leaves the fine within the discretion of the court up to $10,000. ?f Another game law amendent was presented in the house Wednesday by Mr. Muzzy. This one proposes to pre vent the hunting of deer, elk, fawn, etc., with dogs and hounds, and to prohibit the catching of deer, etc., in traps or with snares, and fixes the time in which deer may be shot between Nov. 15, and Dec. 15. Senator Rice's bill to change the rate of interest on sales of public lands from 7 to 5 per cent differs from that of Sen ator Castle only in this: It provides that, after the 1st of June next, the rate of interest on payments for lands already purchased shall be 6 instead of 7 per cent. By unanimous consent the bill was placed on file for third reading, and passed in its order by a vote of 28 to 12. Senator Castle's bill also passed, so that if the governor vetoes the Rice bill, the other may become a law. Senator Sackett's amendments to the statutes governing the sale of iutoxicat ing liquors provides for the punishment of all minois who oDtain liquor upon representation that they are of age, and for a like punishment for any who represent minors as having attained majority. The* penalties are fines of not more than $100 nor less than $25, and imprisonment for not less than thir ty nor more than ninety days. Mr. Harold3on presented a bill last Wednesday which is designed to make the non-reisdent owners of mortgages pay a tax on the same. The bill pro poses to make the tax on mortgages a lien upon the mortgage, and in case ot non-resident mortgagees, where no property can be found to satisfy the claim for taxes, the county auditor may sell an interest in the mortgage. Senator Gilfillan, of the judiciary committee, in reporting indefinite post ponement for Seuator Crosby's bill al lowing women to vote for county su perintendents, said it did not provide methods to prevent great confusion. The law provides that all voters at a general election shall ne registered, and that the names of all the candidates shall be on one ballot. Judges of elec tion could not tell whether the folded ballot presented by a woman contained only the name of the candi date for county superintendent or not. No provision was made in the bill for registration of women, and if they vot ed, the tally sheets and the ballots would not agree. The bill was referred back to Senator Crosby for amendment, but it will meet with opposition from the judiciary committee, and is not likely to pass, howsoever amended. The compulsory education bill, intro duced bv Senator Knudson, enacts that all healthy children between the ages ot eight and sixteen shall attend a pub lic or private school for twelve weeks during the year, at least six of which shall be consecutive. Tno only valid excuses on the part of parents or guardi ans are poverty, lack of school facilities within two miles of residence, or proof that the child has the necessary educa tion. The penalty for disobedience is a fine of $10 to $25 for the first offense and $25 to $50 for each subsequent offense. Mr. Muzzy, who was appointed chair man of the House suffrage committee, reported a bill Friday proposing to give the right ot suffrage on the question ot presidential elections to women. It was sent to the judiciary committee, which will report it back as unconstitutional, since an amendment to the constitution is necessary to accomplish the object desired. Senator Sergeant has again intro duced a bill to prevent the sale and ex posure of obscene and indecent litera ture, pictures, etc. His first bill,was indefinitely postponed. His new 'one is almost an exact copy of the New York law, which, he says, has been through the courts and came out allthe right. It is not likely to stand the test of the judiciary committee, Mr. Oollester introduced an exceed ingly good bill in the house Fridayre quiring coroners to keep a transcript of the testimony taken before them. In most counties the office of coroner is little better than a farce, and nothing is made of record. That condition o! affairs existed in Ramsey and Hennepin counties until yery recently, Senator Castle has introduced a bill amending the statutes so that counties shall have jurisdicton in crimes com mitted on railroad trains passing through such counties.

There was a sensational dis cussion about the patriotism and trai torship of Jen' DAVIS, early in the week, which commanded much atten tion. There were dull debates on fi nancial questions on Interstate Com merce, on Appropriation bills, and there were political debates in which the Tariff found a chance to demand some attention. A bill to retire Gen. Grant ou full pay went smoothly through the Senate, and the McPherson funding bill failed in the House, while the old French Spoliation Claims bill, which has been dangling about in Con gress since 1802. was passed. The lat ter bill has now passed both houses three times, has been reported forty twoetimes, and ha been vetoedthen i onc by Presidents Pol am i Pierce. twice, The struggle for rignt of way among the special orders has been begun, and will grow fiercer week by week, as the session approaches the end. The "spe cial orders" now make a long calen der by themselves. There are so many that they clog legislation, and quariels ensue for the survival of the fittest. The "special Order" device has been carried too far, and some new one must be contrived by ingenious Mem bers who want the House to transact some business in spite of itself. But Mr. Randall says Congress is not in a law making mood now. No, nor has it been for two years. What a com mentary upon a party about to assume control of the Government. For two years" the Democratic side in both branches of Congress, have not only failed to initiate any useful, successful legislation, but it has defeated the wise and beneficial propositions of its op ponents. The remaining days of theLIGHT session are so few, and the regular ap propriation bills still to be considered are so many that this postponement to another Congress of all general legisla tion will be easy to accomplish. But what the Democrats will gain by mak ing such a record is not so clear. In the Forty-ninth Congress they will be numerically weaker in both the Senate andHouae. In the present House are 201 Democrats and 124 Republic ans. In the next House there will be 182 Demo crats and 142 Republicans. On the whole, too, the Democrats lose more important and experienced men than the Republicans. In the next Senate the Republicans will gain two, and the Democrats will lose two, members. They lose Pendleton, one of their ablest men, and may lose several other such men by Cabinet or foreign appoint ments. Since the next Congress will have much to do under the most^avor able circumstances, it would seem wise to get as much business out of the way as possible at the present session, but the Democrats say they are not in the humor, and that ends it. Married After Twenty-Threo Years In Hart county, Kentucky, lived be fore the war Martin Small, an honest farmer, whose family, besides a wife and three daughters, consisted of sis sons, the youngest of whom was Jesse. Jesse was a fiery, impetuous fellow, who went to every cross-roads dance, and was considered the finest rifle-shot in the neighborhood. In those days turkey-shooting was the favorite pas time of the country gentlemen during the fall and winter months. It hap pened one day that the turkey-shooting took place at old Farmer Ezekiel Wood son's. Father Woodson was the father of one of the prettiest girls in all Hart county. She was not yet 16, and al ready had received numerous proposals for her hand in marriage. On the day of the turkey-shooting it was noticed that Jesse Small took no part in the sport. Jesse and Farmer Woodson's daughter Rebecca had stolen away from the crowd, and were breathing into each other's ears the gentle words oi love. The politics of old man Small were democratic, violently democratic, of the Breckinridge school of democracy. His sons took example from the father. At the secession of the confederation in 1861, and with the muster of confeder ate troops, the entire male portion of the Small neighborhood enlisted. Be fore he went to the army Jesse visited Rebecca. The lovers promised each other that they would never wed until the country had been saved, and a democratic administration restored. During the bitter years of conflict that followed Rebecca heard but once or twice from Jesse. One letter told her that he had been shot and mortally wounded on the battlefield of Manassas. She had no hope of ever seeing him again. One bright sunshiny morning, near the close ot the war,Jesse returned to his old home in Hart county. A bul let had pierced his side, but fortunately for him, he had been carried from the field by a comrade, and cared for by a skilled physician. He had almost en tirely recovered. After the last column of figures in the official count had been added up and the democratic majority was announced 1.147, Jesse and Rebecca began their preparations to seal a contract that had stood inviolate for twenty-three years. To duly celebrate the occasion it was agreed to make a trip to Louisville and solemnize the nuptials while there. At 2:55 yesterday afternoon Jesse Small and Rebecca Woodson arrived in city. They secured a license to marry and were piloted to the office of Justice John McCann, where they were toon made happy under the seal of the marriage vow. Last night the bridal couple were registered at the St. Cloud lotel, and to-day at noon they returned :o Hart county. Mr. Smalr is 44 years yt age and his bride is five years his lunior. He is tall, with a thin face covered by iron-gray whiskers. Mrs, Smallfr.asa pleasant face and blue eyes. T-Louisville (Ky.) Times.
