d Il removal of the District Attorney of NIinnesois
a TIE removal of John L. Warren, Esq. fror
Ethc District Attorneyship of Minnesota, by til
%prcsent administration, has been severely cen
Esurcd by several Democratic journals in tina
ETerritory. Mr.. Warren is Democrat, and wa
Eappointed by President Pierce as the succcsso
Got General Dustin. who died in 1854. He is
Egentleman of estimable character, and durin,
&his residence in Minnesota, has secured tb
Prospect and confidence of its most worthy cti
ezens of all parties.
a The North Western Democrat, published il
EMnnesota, thus alludes to his removal:
g ''DIsTRICT ATTORNEY FOR MINNESoTA.-Th,
xPresident has appointed Norman Eddy, for
Emerly member of Congress from Indiana, Dis
atrict Attorney for Minnesota He has tn,
Sreputation of having competent qualifications
&for his new position. Be that as it may. ht
Etakes the place of one who not only has thu
Dr. putation of Il gentleman. but is one in tn,
ghighest sense. We hope Mr.. Warrcn's success
:ssor will prove an eminently gifted and worthy
occupant of the Office from which he was un
unnecessarily removed"
q The Winona Argus, of April 4, in an articl,
sson the same subject, asserts that Mr.. Warner
awaS removed /" because he stood in the way O
l, the pinery owned by high functioncry of the
government" We know nothing in relation
Ito this charge, but we are informed by citi
SZcn of Minnesota, that a member of the pres
. lent cabinet is the owner of large tract O
pine timber land on the St. CroiX river. anf
that he is DESTROYS of having railroad con
4structcd through it at the expenses of tn,
8pcoplc, or. in other words, by grant of public
Hands. Mr.. Warren's imputed offence was, tina
s he did not notify the Attorney General of the
SUnited States of the commencement of sui
"a
ERailroad Company by the United States fol
atrespass on certain lands granted to said cor
operation, by an act of Congress passed in
RJune, 1854 which act was repealed i'm August
= of the same year. This case was tried in the
Supreme Court of the Territory which wa.
decided against the United States and in favo,
gOf the Railroad Company. An appeal was ia
Bken to the United States Supreme Court, where
sthe case has been entered and where it will b.
Earsued. probably at the next term 10y the At
ktorney General on the part of the government
land Revcrdy johnson on the part Of the Rail
sroad Company.
An attempt was made at the late session
3of Congress to repeal the charter of the Rail
road Company. but the Senate defeated the bill
latter it had passed the House. When the news
of thik defeat reached ST. Paul, the city was
illuminated. and the whole population rejoiced
We are informed that the course of the At
3torney General, in procuring the removal of
Mr.. Warren, meets the decided disapproval OF
the Democratic party Of MinnesOta-and more
1over-that the Judiciary Committee of the
United States Senate, at its late session were
unanimously of the opinion, that no blame at
|tached to Mr.. Warren for his conduct in The
case to which allusion has been made. lie
stands before the world, therefore, fully exon.
Grated fiom the charge so gratutously made
against him by the Attorney General. and
through which his removal from Office was pro.
cured. II the Attorney General has spark OF
lmagn animity in bis composition. he will per-
|ccive that an ample apology is due from him to
Mr.. Warren, for his unfounded and gratuitous
|imputation against: the profession and private
character Of that gentleman st-
