Mr.. Rolette moved that the memorial be
taken up and read Q third time, and moved
the previous question. The motion was
ruled out of order by the Speaker.
Mr.. Rolettc moved the previous question.
Mr.. Davis said that he understood the ques-
ton before the House to be "Shall the main
question be now putt"
Mr.. Davis further moved call OF the
House.
Mr.. Hanson contended that the motion
was out of order, as being OF a subsidiary
character to motion for the previous ques-
ton. The member from Pembina had NOV
ed that the memorial be taken from the Ia
bic, and the motion for the previous ques-
ton necessarily cut off all debate and pre-
cluded the consideration of subsidiary mat
tiers, such as call of the House.
The Chair decided that the call was in order
and the roll being called, Mr.. Brawley was re-
ported as absent.
On motion of Mr.. Thompson, the call was
suspended. Ayes 10; nays I. u
Mr.. Dixon moved the previous question.

cision being appealed from, it was overruled
by yeas 8, nays Z.
The main question was then ordered to be
put by yeas 10, nays I.
Mr.. Sibley desired to make few remarks
but Mr.. Hanson rose to point of order, anC
the Speaker decided that he could not do so.
The memorial was then taken up by yeas
II, nays I.
Mr. Sibley rose and made an argument
of much ability in favor of the passage of the
memorial, and was followed by Mr.. Hanson
Want of space, this morning, prevents us from
giving sketch of these remarks, but we viii
do so tomorrow.
Mr.. Dixon moved the previous question on
the then reading of the bill.
Mr.. Sibley moved call of the House, ano

was upon the reading of the memorial for the
third time, and the>vOte being taken, it wa:
decided in the negative by ayes 10, noes 8.

Tho Railroad Memorial.

In the House of Representatives, yester-
day, the Memorial to Congress, asking that
body to disapprove the charter granted last
session to the Minnesota and Northwestern
Railroad Company, was called up-a third
reading denied-and the denial clinched by
q negative vote on the motion to re-consid-
er. This action kills the memorial beyond
resuscitation. We do not propose to CON-
ment at any length on this decision of the
House. The matter is now properly at is
sue between those who voted against the
memorial and their constituents, and there
we are willing to leave it.
The action of some of the members has
been of most extraordinary character
entirely inconsistent with any presumption
of honesty. Mr.. WILLM, of Saltwater,
joined with Mr.. SIBLEY, on the 25th inst,
in submitting the majority report Of the Ju-
dietary Committee, reprobating in the Sc
verest terms the charter of the Minnesota
and Northwestern Railroad Company, and in
presenting memorial to Congress of pre-
cisely the same import with that against
which. yesterday, he recorded his vote
We are utterly unable to account for this
o"s"svriooiv ~v.ivn, eruuspring wItmn a
lapse Of five days time, without accounting
him either fool, or the subject of bribery.
Mr. LEMAY, on the morning of last falls
election, signed and caused to be published,
card in which he bound himself to vote for
a memorial of the character under consider
alton yesterday, and which position he has
earnestly and consistently maintained until
within the last few days. We are utterly
at loss to account for his sudden transform
alton upon any principle of integrity or con-
sistency, as these are currently understood
among intelligent, honest men.
Mr.. BRAwLEY, Of this city, was absent
from his seat when the vote was taken
We learn that this gentleman inadvertently
swallowed chew of tobacco, just in the
nick of time to prevent his attendance in his
seat. We have no doubt this accident was
as sincerely deprecated by him, as it GER
tainly was by the friends of the memorial.
We may state here, as matter of news
merely, that the distinguished gentleman,
proposes to take up his residence at Lake
Superior, as soon as practicable the coming
spring. We are assured, however, and we
take pleasure in stating the fact, that his
intended removal has no possible connexiou
with his absence from the House at this
particular juncture 4'.a..'e.
Upon this whole affair, the people of the
Territory will pass their judgment at the ap-
propriate time We leave with them the
exercise of their prerogative when, and
how, their discretion may dictate.

made, and it is vain to hope that during the
present short session of Congress any will be
made. Would it not be folly then to discard
the certainty of the future and risk all upon q
AS we have seen, the Supreme Court has de-
cdcd that right to the lands already granted
is vested in this Company and there is no ap.
peal from that decision to this Assembly nor
to Congress, and until and unless it be revers-
ed by the Supreme Court of the United States
il is the settled law.
Fear of litigation, then, with this Company
growing out of claim to the right of way as
we'll as to the lands granted by Congress, would
be enough Of itself, doubtless, to deter any new
company from undertaking to build the road.
Such contingency would be deplorable, and
would most probable result in having no road
at ALL
But let US suppose that if we should memo
rialize Congress to disapprove the charter, and
it should do so, and this company should be
thereby discouraged and excused also, from
building the road. what then would become Of
the lands granted
Could the Territory st IL hold them!
1t is believed that if the Company lose the
lands. they are lost to the Territory.
As between the United States and the Terri
tory, the latter is but quasi corporation, and
took and had no such interest in the lands be-
tween the time of the passage of the granting
act and its repeal, as. precluded their being ia
ken away by the general government. But

cd to it by the United States, is tn Eact,a grant
by the United States, and vests q property in

1t is placed upon the ground that such grant
is made for q consideration, to wit, an under
taking, by the acceptance of the charter. and
an organization under it, to build the road.
In the case Of the Territory, however, there

pany.
Second, The last proviso of the 9Th section
of the charter. should he made more definite
also, so that no question may arise hereafter
as TO the precise time when the 7 per centum
OF the net earnings of the road shall be paid
into the treasury.
Full power should be given to the Legisla-
ture, or its authorized agents to examine all
the books of the company, and also its officers
and employees, on oath, for the purpose of as
certaining the cost of the road, its annual ex-
pendlture and receipts, and in case of false or
fraudulent statements being made, the penalty
of perjury should attach.
These and other amendments should be ad-
ded, some of a local nature, having for their
object the protection of the community against
any encrOachments which the company might
in time see fit to make, if no restrictions were.
placed upon them.
If the amendments are not accepted by the
company, they will be forfeited. The extern
sion of time being forfeited by non-accept-
ance OF the amendments, the charter will be
forfeited, and the next Legislative Assembly
may take such action upon the subject as to it
may seem meet, and as it would take if the
charter were to be disapproved by Congress.
1t cannot be expected that this Legislative As
sembly can, at the present session, enact any
other charter, even if that already enacted
should be annulled. By the time that intelli-
gence of the action of Congress upon the pro-
posed memorial will be received, this session
will have nearly or quite expired and men,
bers could not mature measures founded upon
such action.
The suggestion of the Executive is based in
part upon the assumption that the charter was
ton.
Surprising such assumption to be just, this
Assembly could not proceed in the matter at
so late day, without falling into a similar
error. a8
But If the company accepts the amendments,
and in good faith goes on with the construction
OF the great work contemplated by its charter,
