bringing the matter Of railroad grant of lands
to Minnesota before Congress, that gentleman
wrote to the Times that although he was the
author of the scheme, the credit OF bringing
that matter before Congress belonged to H. M.
Rice. Several of the Rice papers copied Mr..
Marshall's letter and called him an honorable
opponent. Would Mr., Marshall have been

the credit Of obtaining through his influence

obtained principally through the recommended
tons of government officers stationed in the
Territory, and that this sum OF $165, 900 was
