Board. will, il is understood, make the report for
Congress, and for this purpose will remain here
some time longer The other members will at once
retire, their duties being ended.
The Commissioner to adjust the claims against
Brazil appears to have easy time of it, With
disregard of peeuniary matters worthy ofall praise
in this money making age, the claimants have been
exceedingly negligent, and few Of the claims have
been brought before the Commissioner. Ii was to
have lasted but one year, but 1t has already been
renewed and the term duplicated. The Comm s.

had declined to pay the constructive mileage, and
that Messrs. Corcoran and Riggs had oblgngly
stepped forward and advanced the needtul. his

did not observe the denial At the time. The way in
which the matter was arranged was this The
Senate directed that the money should be paid out
Of the appropriation for the next fiscal year The
Comptroller Of the Treasury refused to allow an
anticipation OF the appropriation. In this en-
geney Coicoran and Riggs were applied to, and
they advanced the money, with the understand ny,
that if it not subsequently allowed by the

IMPLYING the deficiency, venture to send you 4
brief communication.
The territorial government was organized, ms You
know, in March, 1919. Alexander Ramsey was APP
pointed Governor; {. X. Smith, Secretary: Aaron
Goodrich, Chief Justice; David Cooper, and Brad
ley b. Meeker, Associate Justices; and Alexander
NJ Mitchell, Marshal.
These officers, with the exception Of the Govern
or and Chief Justice, are competent and faithful
public agents, and popular with the people.
The Governor was, at first, very popular, but un-
fortunately involved himself in speculations beyond
his means, and allied himself with Z. Choutcau, Jr
x Co., wealthy Indian traders, successors of the
American Eur Company, odous monopoly all
OF the interests Of which opposed TO civilization
and settlement. This alliance has bia sed his Off
cia and private action to such a degree that COM
plete revolution has been Effected in his popularity
and II may be truly said that there is not now a
more unsatisfactory magistrate in Minnesota than
Alexander Ramsey. The Chief Justice is not the
object OF any serious attention. His utter want Of
capacity for the position held by him makes him
the subject Of ridiculc and merrment, but nothing
more. The administration would gladly be rid OF
him. but is believed he cannot be legally removed
save by the tedious process Of impeachment.
The soil Of Minnesota is astonshingly fertile
Wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, &c, grow here in
great luxuriance and perfection. The climate Is
delightful and healthy No portion Of our country
offers stronger inducements to farmers than Minne-
sofa. The large nonproducing population--com-
posed OF military and Indians supported by the
government and resident in the territory-creates
n demand for agricultural productions which half
century will hardly enable Minnesota to supply
Land is cheap, and, ewhat il rare in a new country,
money IL plenty.
