The weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1852-1858, 1854-04-08

why We should not have a daily mall between
st. Paul and -Galena the present season. The
Packet Company intend to have no failure
whatever in regard to making their daily trips,
Sundays excepted.) between the two points !;
and the expense to the Department Of carrying
three additional through mails per week would
be very trifing. We are to have several daily
papers established here this season !; and we
have just as good right to daily mails as the
Galena and Dubuque editors. But this is not
the thing. The business interests of Minnesota,
in every branch demand at this time, the es-
tablshmcnt of daily mail, and the facilities
for carrying it arc now such that no reasonable
excuse can be offered against the enterprise by
! those in authority The Postmaster General,
we understand, has decided against giving us
more than three mails per week, but the matter
should be placed before him in such light as to
convince him of the necessity of reversing his
decision. We trnst our Delegate, and others OF
our citizens at Washington, will give the subject
such attention as will ensure favorable result,
if such a thing be possible.
WISCONSIN LAND GRANT.-We learn that the
| we ueTlNcu ScHlitIudil llSt
week. to the effect that the bill granting land
to Wisconsin for railroad purposes, had passed
the House. was incorrect and that the bill has
not passed the House. but has been defeated,
which will probably end any further legisla-
ton upon appropriating land for railroad pur-
poses this session of Congress.-Pioneer.
We object to this cGt-throat system On the
part of our neighbors. Last week they stated
the temporary defeat of the Minnesota Land
Bill, and, by what we thought, an ill-timed re-
hashing of stale anecdote, undertook to con-
vey the idea that all was lost-that MINES ota
must bury all hopes Of success in this great
measure hereafter. Now, although the Pioneer
and We were mistaken last week in announcing
the probable passage of the Wisconsin bill, still
its defeat is no sure indication whatever as in
tinated above, that or bill will not yet pass
this session, in some shape or other. The tone
Of the Pioneer carries the idea that its - wish
is father TO the thought" although we cannot
believe src. to be the Intention. Courage
neishbors' courage! Do not by this despond-
ing tone throw cold water upon the commenda
bic eNertions of our Delegate and our other
friends inCongycss, who are now working night
and day 10 get our bill on its legs again and
put it through.
GRADING TIE CRY OFvgcERs.-The Pioneer
noticing the city election, says:
THE first election for charter officers of the
city, came off on Tuesday last, and resulted in
the election of Hon. David Olmstel, Mayor
Orlando Simons Esq. Police Justice: Mr. Vim
K: Miller, City Marshall and Daniel Rohrcr
City Treasurer
1t belongs to the Board of Aldermen to have
the streets of St Paul graded, but it appears
the duty has dcvolvcd upon the Pioneer t.
grade the city officers. SO let it be understood
The Mayor is an Honorable; the Police Justice
an Esquire; the Marshal is Mister, and thu
Treasurer is simply DaE. Rohrcr. Pretty geoc
.or the Pioneer. 1t has saved much troubl,
and perrlexiiy by thus settling the titles O
our new officers at all early day. But how mus
we address the Aldermen?
ArRli. FooIlNG.-The " Democratic: non.na
tons made at the Court House on the first da,
/ of April, were taken by the keen disccrnin,
: Germans of the First Ward. as an attempt a
april tooling," and they voted accordingly
This was particularly the case in regard to tn
@ gentleman W DO ran for Treasurer on that ticket
and in this light he must account fer his cA
: tremcly meagrc vote in that ward.
