The Minnesota Railroad Bill Fraud.

Our Galena and Chicago exchanges have
the following telegraphic dispatch from
Washington, under date Of the 25th July {:
"The Sergeant-at-arms of the House of
Representatives has sent to New York for
witnesses to testify in the case of alleged
alterations of the bill granting land to Min
nesota for the construction of railroads"
We have been looking for this news some
days, for, knowing that a nefarious fraud
had been committed, we had sufficient faith
in the integrity Of Congress to believe that
fOrrcricS 50 atrOcOuS would not be left to
90 bv UNDECIDED. We believe this investi-
CATION will, unlike most proceedings Of this
kind, be thorough and severe. Upon the
heads of the guilty, whatever their position,
we trust public disgrace, and the se,erest
penalties of the law, may fall.
We learn by private adyices from Wash
ington, that some of the parties implicated
in this attempt at wholesale swindling have
already been asccrtained but We torbear,
at present, making their names public. We
earnestly hope that our Territorial Dele
gate the Hon. HENRY NJ. RICE, who as
sented to the bill as reported by the com
mittee, and who pledged his support there
to in its original shape, will prove indcfati-
gable in his endeavors to fastcn the forgery
upon the heads of the guilty. We are
deeply solicitors on this account no less for
his own reputation, than for that of our i'll
FAINT Territory.
\ few days more will vouchsafc us more
light upon the details of this gigantic ScITrY
lERlsM We have looked almost pityingIy
upon the blanched countcnances of some o!
the adcrs and abcttcrs of the foul tranSac-
ton who are here in our midst. If they
are thus seriously affected by the faint twi-
light thrown upon this transaction in the
dispatch above quoted, how will they relish
