ST.. ANTHONY. March IA. 1855.

# ST. ANTHONY, March lzs 1900.
EDlroa DAILY TIxEs,-Dear Sir II am right
glad to see you do puhlisha bold, fearless, plain,
out.spoken ,per,-and lam glad to see that Ike
a thorough surgeon, you use the knife, the scalp
el and tho probe-opening the Old ulcer, cutting
ssthroush thin skincd " corruption, and slashing
away at, and doing your best at looping of such
vile parts, need to be and ought to be removed.
You have seen and remarked upon the proceed
ings of the meeting few evenings since, to de-
nounce Governor German, and laud or whitewash
the Representatives from this town.
There is a reason for oil these moyements,
which can be found in the fact, that grand
scheme, whereby certain men expected to realize
handsome sum for their bascness, were abrupt
ly stopped by the Governor, who, discovering a
fraud, put his foot upon it. We say there was o
reason for this movement, and time will develop
it. The fact is, Governor German is too honest
and uncompromising for such men, and it would be
as impossible for him to please them as it would
be for an angel in Heaven to please the Devil
Their abuse will only place him more firmly in
the position he occupies. Mark what We say.
Yours, CATO.
Cy We refrain from publishing that portion
of the letter on ''good authority" as we are not
acquainted with the circumstances. As soon as
we have the proof, we will place the matter be-
fore the public.-ED. t....
Ed. TIxEs,-Dear Sir: Allow me as one of
the many parties interested in the thriving town
of St. Peters, through your columns to express
my sincere thanks to nv friend John p. Owens,
for the compliment he pays said town, by placing
it in the same paragraph with this cnterprising
city, and to remind him that he can have little
oilfor which he is said to have strong editorial
penchant-with which to grease the wheels Of his
machine, provided however, that he will bestow
upon said town and its scores of enterprising in
habtants, an occasional notice like the follow
ing:
The Times, its correspondents, owners,
and masters are blowing a loud horn for tho re-
moval Of the seat of Government from st. Paul
to st. Peters-Governor Germans paper town up
the Minnesota. So then, the anti-railroad gam
blers are beginning to show their hand at last!
don't offer this as a bride; pray call it by some
other softer name. That the people abroad who
design emigrating to this Territory may have the
benefit of the card, give it entire as it appeared
in Yesterdays Minnesotian. Yours truly,
G.. H. PARKER.

The RESERVE LANps.-We learn that gentle

the House of Representatives, has passed the SEN

LATER.---We observe by the Democrat Of last

SExATE.-Thc Navy Reform bill was taken up.
The consideration was postponed 10 order to af-
ford Mr.. Cass an opportunity to present to Con-
gress the sword of Gen. Jackson. In making the
presentation Mr.. Cass improved the opportunity
to pay tribute to the memory of Gen. jackson.
He alluded to the presentation of, the sword of
Washington, and in passing spoke of the offering
Of the cane Of Franklin which was deposited by
the side Of the sword Of his great o-laborer in
the ca,t>e Of human rights. His illusions to
Washington and Franklin were in the most hap
py style. He did not consider these ceremonies
empty. The memorial Of the 6rst and greatest
of our Chief Magistrates, and this memorial Of
his successor in the administration Of the gov.
eminent and second only to him in the affections
and gratitude of the American people, will be side
by side united links Of patriotic devotion, and in

ture when remote generations hear our heritage

be carried by association to those Heroes ct our
