Register and Receiver of one OF the United

entries under the graduation act Of 4th August,
1884, without requiring the afidavits which
the law contemplates, and the question has
come before the General Land Once as to
whether these entries shall be annulled, and
tae whole proceedings set aside, OF whether
relief could be extended to toe parties 80 as to
secure them in their rights without detri men
to the interests of the United States. The
General Land Office upon examination has de.
cided that the entries may be sustained if the
purchasers can file their afRdavits, according
to form which has been printed, 60 as to
show state of facts that would have warrant.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL S, 1855.
The Result and its Effect.

We are among those who believe that ST.
Paul, on Tuesday last, did day s,work which
she will be proud of to the end of Time.
The result OF the election on that day proves
to the world. that when the best and most COM
petent of our citizens are put forth as cand-
dates for Office, the good sense and integrity of
the masses will sustain tlrat action, and that
character of candidates.
1t shows, also, that men Of high position in
office--even Governors of Territories and Sec
retaries of TerritOries--who may boast about
the streets and in places of public resort, that
they can |" CONTROL one or another class of cit
liens, are about as apt as other men to count
with a false knowledge of the facts !; but will
very'likely be undeceived. after the ballots are
canvassed.
The effect of the result of the election on
Tuesday will be, that the credit and character
of st. Paul will stand before the world in a
light equal to that of any other city of the
West In eleeting Ramsey Mayor, she gains
everything-hc gains nothing.

heart and hand to suppress the evil. The pre-

the sentiments of the ladies' in few very ap-

responded to by Messrs. Flandrau and Patch.
Sentiments were offered and responded to by
different persons present. Taken as whole,
every thing passed off pleasantly, and all sepa-
rated, at late hour, on good terms with them
selves and neighbors. We are unable to give
the proceedings in full this week, but they will
appear in our next.

ws- 1t is somewhat gratifying to us to know
that the Ticket sustained by the Times, with
one exception, has been electcd.-THnes.
We are even with our neighbor with the ex-
ception of the Second Ward Aldermen. The
Times man could boast with better grace,
however, if he had been possessed of the moral
courage on election day to have gone to the
polls and voted. His name does not appear on
the poll books of his ward. We are inclined to
think, that if all our voters had taken the pas
sive course adopted by Newson, our ticket
would have been no where.
