WHO Is TO BE BELIEVED

Mr.. Wentworth says that Mr.. Rice made the
alteration in the Minnesota Land Bill, while Mr..
Rice says he knows nothing about it. Mr.. Jones
the Bill, if he understood it as he did. 1t seems,
however, that Mr.. Washburnc did not understand
it so.
Mr.. Baker saws that there "was no public sem
timent of any weight against giving the lands"
In this Mr.. Baker is correct but there rdS great
diversity of opinion hoy these lands should be
given, part of the members believing that it was
putting too much power into the hands of few
persons, and further, that the interests # the
Territory were not properly secured. If Mr.. Ba-
ker wished to carry the idea that there was no
public opinion against granting the charter, as
drawn up by the Wall street company, he is great
ly mistaken, because the passage of that charter
was fought desperately, and only received the sig
nature of the Governor Mt the earnest solicitation
of several citizens, who circulated petitions 10
O'Clock ut night. However. the Minnesotian said
lit s. calm time,' and we must believe the
Minnesotian.
Mr.. Iarrington's testimony upsets the evidence
of one witness who testified that the So 900 were
to be used for the reelection of MIR. Washburne
The money for Mr. Harrington only, and Mr.
Washburne knew nothing about it.
Mr.. Billings testiies that the $1,000 were to be
in stock, and not in money, and that he employed
Mr.. Harrington at the suggestion of Mr.. Steele,
of Minnesota, to do the work. Quite misun-
dcrstandinC.

''LET THE People RULE.'-This WAS the Cry
when the Nebraska Bill was passed, and now that
Mr.. Douglas has returned home to those who sent
him to watch over their interests, he must not feel
if the people do rule, for in doing tn Y
ut claiming the right he told them some time
since he was conending for. His reception at
Chicago must have been very humiliatng to him
and his friends, and whle we do not fully Justify
the manner in which that reception was given,
still We must say that it is nothing more than we
expected, for the wishes of the people had been
outraged and solemn compact broken. ''Let

Cutta Percha.

In the year 1874 two hundred pounds
of new species of gum were shipped
from the port of Singapore. 1t was con-
sldered doubtful at the time whether the
gum could ever be rendered sufficiently
useful to mankind to become an article oi
commerce. The experiment, however,
succeeded. More than twenty thousand
pounds were exported in the succeeding
year. The fame of the article spread
North, South, East and West; men, wo-
men, and children were employed in its
and the new trade has increas-
ed in mainitude and extent with every
successive year. In the year ls49 more
Than two millions of pounds, or thou
sand tons of gutta Percha were exported

General SCOtt.

The speech Of Mr.. Etheridgc, in the
House of representatives, on Thursday
in favor of the appointment of a Liuten.
ant General, contained some beautiful re.
ferences to General Scott. He conclud-
ed it with these remarks:
"The long line of great men who ar
rested the worlds gaze, amid the throes
and convulsions of our revolutionary strug-
Gle, have all, all long since passed to
"The deep, damp vault the darkness and the worm !"
"Yet, sir, their places were filed by the
heroes and the Statesme who shared the
perils ofthe ensuing war; but, alas! they
too, have mostly yielded to that destroyer
which is the common leveller of all dis
tinctions. Within few years, you have
mourned Jackson. an Adams, Harri-
son, Calhoun, Taylor, Webster and
a Clay. Your columns are now shrouded
in the solemn drapery of woe for the la
mented King, whose Virtus you have so
recently essayed to commemorate. The
illustrious Senator from Michigan still
lives. The able and venerable Represen-
tative from Missouri is with US, com bining
the energies of youth with the wisdom of
age. Your commanding General yet
lives, ready in his old age to WELD that
good sword which has so often leaped
fromits scabbard at the call of patriot
ism and of duty. The former who have
SO long worn the honors of high civil trust
are among those who desire the last mark
of respect to that soldier of the nation,
whose perilous and faithful services they
have observed through almost half GEN.
tury. Ireadily take my stand with them.
L yield to none in my admiration for Cap
tain IDgraham, yet | would not accord
all the houors to the rising and none to
setting sun"
