The address and memorial to the
Territorial Assembly, Minnesota, by
thegreat convention atSt. Paul, closes
as follows ::
We are prompted to present this
Memorial and petition for this object
by the belief that in enaCting the said
Law you will perform an act which
will bring lasting honor upon your
body, and upon us your fellow-citi-
zens; that a most desirable step will
be taken to secure our adopted home
in the Northwest from becoming the
scene Of violence, poverty, misery and
shame that those who come after us
will be saved from the intolerable woes
and degradation ofintemperance, and
from the hard toll Of effecting great
social reform and that our beloved
Minnesota will be placed far along
upon the high road to true greatness,
prosperity and fame" m

Crystal Fountain and State Tenn

Such is the uame of new journal
just started in Harrisburg, Pa, under
the most encouraging auspices. We
have before us the second member, and
we cannot speak too strongly in its
praise, either in regard to the matter
Of the paper or the style in which it
it is gotten up. 1t ought to have a
long list Of patrons in every neighbor-
hood in the State, and we trust it will
have. 1t is edited by William P.
Coulter; price Sl.Oo per annum.
TheSta Temperance Convention
recently held in Harrisburg, resolved
to sustain it. It's wide circulation is
indispensable to the speedy triumph
of the cause in that State. It advo-
Gates the true doctrine on the subject
of legal enactment.

Park Sc. Church Juvenile Temper
ance Society.


We were present last Tuesday eve
ming, at the Exhibition Of the above
named Society. under the immediate
supervision Of Mr.. JOHN F. WrLrsEY.
We do not know when we passed a
more pleasant evening. The recita-
tons by the Masters, and the songs
by the little Misses, were well execu-
ted, and reflect much credit upon them
and their Preceptors. Some of thelit-
tie folks pleased us SO well that we
must bepermitted to compliment them
particularly. "The Temperance Ora
tor" by Master SULLIVAN, was an ex-
cellent thing, and the little orator dis
played a taste above his years, in its
delivery. We hope he will ever bear
in mind its precepts. The Song by
Miss BRowN, was excellent, and the
recitation, by Master W1LTsEY, was
equally good In fact, all behaved
well, and acquitted themselves with
much credit. The songs were all ar.
ranged by Miss ANNIE Stokes, who,
on account of indispOsition, was not
present. We hope Mr.. WrLTsEY will
give another exhibition when the
weather is more favorable.

We have on our table a number OF

would be no credit to our paper, or to

a place. We prefer inferior prose to
poor rhyming The pieces before us
are masculine poetry; the muses. were
not consulted.

% We regret to state that the
stock of goods of the Daughters of
Temperance House of Employment,
was very much injured by the fire on
Tuesday night last, from the effects Of
the water thrown upon them. The
loss to them, as their stock was small,
is very considerable, there being no
insurance. The Managers are out
with subscription papers, and we hope
our citizens will subscribe Iiberaily, as
the House is carried on by the Daugh-
ters solely for the benefit of poor wO-
men and children. Such Of our read

expectations; and we look upon it as an
emblem characteristic Of the liberality

Resolved, That with Bro. Clark,
we agree that no more fitting me-
mento for our labors in the glorious
cause Of Temperance, could be given
than The Holy Bible.
RcaoIped, That We hereby tender to

AZ a Matter Of Course.

The CSscinnati Enqairer has been
consistent in bitter opposition to all
prohibitcry liquor laws. On the night
of the fourth Of March, there was a
grand iollifcatiOn given by the pro-
prietOrs Of the Enquirer, in honor of
the incoming Administration. Among
the attractions to the feast was an open
bar, at which a goodly number of the
sovereign people got gloriously drunk.
As a matter Of course, a Maine Law
for Ohio, will be unpopular in the En-
quirer Office.

Waking them Toe the Mark.

We are pleased to observe, by the following ar
ticle from the Cincinnati Times that Auditor Nor
GAN, has an eye open for the insidious :maneevr
ings of the private Bankers of Cincinnati.
s.The Auditor of State has notified the Private
Bankers of this city, that thier returns made to
the Assessors for taxation are not correct, as by
his Interpretation of the law they are placed
in Che same category as chartered Banks, and are
therefore not entitled to make deductions as pri-
vate individuals. Having rejected their returns
the Auditor assessed as follows:
Citizens Bank, 100000; Ellis & Morton
100000; T. S. Goodman & Co., 100000; and
the remaining principal houses sSl5o,ooo each
The largest amount returned by the above houses
was, we believe, $4,000 or $4,000, and from
this it varied down to $4,000 The difference
in their taxes, therefore. would be a large item
The legality of the Auditors decision will be
contested, and Lawyers have already been dis
patch to Columbus to see the Auditor and Attor-
ney General with regard to the matter.''
That the Auditor, will be fully sustained in his
construction of the law, we have not particle Of
doubt Common sense as well common JUS
tice demands that the law should be enforced as
Interpreted by the Auditor, and that. Bankers, Sc
long the recipients of special privileges, should
be made to feel and bear their just proportion Of
the burthens Of taxation.- OHIO Patriot. =

Raiproad 60 Che Pacific.

The gigantic project of arailroad across our ter
ritory to the Pacific has been introduced into the
United States Senate by Mr.. Gwin. Accor-
ding to this plan, the road sto have at its eastern
end, the Mississippi rivers t0o lines connecting
it with the Atlantic through the North and South
respectively, and t,oo at its Western end, con-
ceeting it with the Pacific through Oregon and
California. The contractors for it's construction
to receive in payment alternate sections of public
lands, forty miles wide through the States, and
eighty miles wide through the intervening terrific
ries. At the end thirty years it is to be surren-
dered to the United States. The mail, troops, and
other transportation of the Government, shall
always be free upon it.

ther assumed that at least $5,0OO,O00 will annu
ally be derived from freight, and that it will cos
to keep the road in repair, $5,o00,000, which

or the stockholders or the contractors, whoever
should build it. There are many schemes fo

The DuhlicLamds,

The Report of the Commissioners of the Gen
eral Land Office contains much information in
regard to the public domain The lands surveyed
the past year amount to 9,522,O53 acres. The
lands advertised for sale to 8,O3l ,483 acres.-
Lands sold for cash to l,553,O71 acres. Located
with the bounty land warrants, 3,201,314 acres.
Located with other certificates, 1852 acres.
Making total of 4,87O,o7S acres located during
the year. In addition there were reported as
swamp land grants, &C., S,245, ,looacres, making
the grand aggregate of s,1l5,l75 acres disposed
of during the year, an excess of 3,342,372 acres
over the previous year.
A few figures show the magnitude of the land
office business. The accounts adjusted and re-
ported to the Comptroller for settlement, were
1881. Letters received during the year, $4,000.
Certificates of land sales issued, 2l,5o3. Bounty
land warrant locations registered, 1926. De-
claratory statements entered,9,31s. Swamp land
internal improvement and other selections record
ed, $4,000. Cash, bounty land and other patents
recorded and transmitted, 10000. No less than
7,661,519 acres of swamp land and other selec-
tions were certified to the respective states, and
upwards of 10000 pages of letters and accounts
were recorded.
The total number of land warrants issued from
1847 to 1852 inclusive, are 223,007, embracing
22, ,42S, 400; the number of land warrants located
121 1925, covering 14,80l ,O4O acres, leaving out
standing l0l ,9Sl warrants, which call for 1885,,
369 acres. There have been issued under the act
of $780, granting bounty land to the officers of the
war of 1872 and the Mexican war, 1868 war
rants, covering g, ,s24,32o acres of land, of which
have been located 1896, leaving outstanding,
92,l92 warrants.
The commissioners recommend the passage of
an act granting quarter section of lend to every
soldier of the war of 1912 who has not already
received bounty land, whether regular or volun-
teer, who served for any length of time, however
short. As the number of warrants issued under
the act of 1852, supplementary to that of 1850, is
only It'll, it is not probable that the proposed ex
tension of the bounty land law willrequire the ap-
preparation of any large quantity of the public
lands.
The commissioners recommend the erection of
land offices in California, Oregon and the Terri
tory of Nebraska, Utah and New Mexico, to col
lect evidence ofclaims and make other necessary
preparations for the sale of the public lands there
