SAINT PAUL. MINNESOTA TERRITORY SATURDAY, MARCH TO- 1885,
The Railroad I'm the Senate.

We expect to hear now in few days that
the Senate of the United States, before its ad
journment, rejected the resolutions annulling
our Railroad charter, which were got up in the
House upon false and unfounded information
placed before the Judiciary Committee, by one
or two citizens of Minnesota, and privately in
terested parties elsewhere, and crowded through
thin House under the gag of the previous
question. The Senate Committee on Terrific
tories no doubt fully deliberated upon the mat
ter, weighing both sides of the question. and re-
ported upon the real merits of the case after
hearing that the people Of Minnesota. through
their Legislature, had re-indorsed the Mime
sofa and Northwestern Company, and re-
enacted the very charter which the House,
without knowledge of the facts in the case, in
a hasty moment sought to destroy If this has
been done by the Senate Committee, the rail
road people ofMinnesota have nothing to fear
from the result
The Pioneer, Notwithstanding the whole mat
ter is now de6nitively settled, one way or the
other, and therefore there can be DO object in
continuing its warfare, except for the gratifica-
ton of mean, personal malice, or in order to
levy black mail, comes out yesterday morning
with vindictive attack upon the members of
the Company.
--" The times have been
That when the brains out the man would die,
And there an end;''
The cause of this fresh outbreak is that Messrs
Lowber, Taylor, Colt, Roberts, Jesup, and the
other gentlemen of the Company, have dared
to do what the humblest citizen of this land has
the right at any time to do. They have re-
quested Senator who represents the State of
which most of them are citizens (Mr. Seward)
to present a memorial in the Senate for them,
and Mr.. Seward has done it. No man better
knows or would be more willing to vindicate
the moral and financial integrity of these rail-
road gentlemen than Mr.. Seward and Of course
it was proper for them to memorialze, if they
saw fit, and highly proper for Mr.. S. to present
their petition.
The Pioneer and its miserable defunct hang
ers-on, may as well cease their war upon the
character of these gentlemen. They are too
we'll known in the financial and business world
to render it at all necessary for them to contr-
butte black mail to the Pioneer in order to qui-
ct SANDER. It is we'll known in this commu
nifty by every intelligent man. that the Compa-
ny can have the friendship of the Pioneer at
any time for a consideration, which was named
some months ago. But its friendship is more
fatal to success than its abuse and it may rest
assured its black mail project won't win with
such men as Robert W. Lowber, NJ. o. Roberts.

THE CELEBRATION OF THE 4Tu.

The celebration of the 4th of July, was va
riously celebrated by many of our citizens
A. large party with number of citizens from
Northumberland took the cars of :he Phila-
delphia and Sunbury Railroad at o'clock a.
NJ. and proceeded to Mount Carmel where
they arrived at half past nine. The compa-
ny, which consisted of about eighty persons,
in addition to some that came into the cars
at Shamokin, were ushered into the large and
handsome drawing room of the new hotel
kept by Jos. NJ. Feger. Fully two thirds of
the company were ladies, and mostly young
ladies' which means, of course, unmarried, al
though there was fair representation of
married ones, with their lords, sufficient TO
temper the laughter loving mrth of youth,
with the matronly gravity or maturcr years.
1t was worth five dollar bill at least, to any
bachelor not entirely case hardened, merely
to witness the galaxy Of beauty and intelli-
gence, that was packed in the cars, on that
occasion. The music having, by some mis-
hap, been left behind, dancing was neverthe-
less commenced on one Of the. porticoes, by
the aid of singing, and an amateur performer
on cracked violin. At two o'clock the com
pany was called to the large dining room, to
which place the tables, on the porticoes. had
been removed, on occount of the rain After
dinner, dancing recommended with renewed
spirit couple of musicians having been
brought over from Ashland At Il. NJ.
the company left in the cars for Sunbury,
which place they reached in one hour and
twelve minutes, all highly delighted with the
trip-the scenery and the performances of the
day.
Another portion Of the citizens, accompan-
led by the Brass Bald Of this place, went to
Upper Mahanoy, TO participate in the cere
monies of dedicating the new Hall of the Eu.
reka Lodge near Beissels old stand. The
New Hall is ahandsome white frame building
the lower story intended for school purposes
The interior of the Hall is well arranged and
handsomely furnished. While in the midst
of the ceremonies, large portion Of the cell
ing suddenly came down, enveloping the
whole audience in cloud of dust and mortar
The scene of confusion that followed is indiscri
bable, and further proceedings were entirely
cut off, We regret to learn that the carpet
and furniture was considerably injured.
There was also Sunday School celebration
on the farm OF Mr.. John Haughawout in Up
per Augusta, at which some Of our citizen.
were present.
The Methodist Sunday School Of this plac,
also gave an entertainment to their scholars
Some of the Firemen belonging to thu
Good Intent Company of this place, accepted
an invitation from the Firemen of Milton, t.
celebrate the day at that place, and were mucl
pleased with the proceedings and entertain
ment
There was also an entertainment at thu
Point, below town.
In the evening the Junior Sons of Ameri
ca in this place had torch-lght procession
proceeded by drum and fife.

some instances that argued strongly for th'
