ruE MINNESOTIAN,
SATURDAY. MORNING, NAY S. 1856
Jadse Cooper.

JaAse CssPss.
We are gratided to announce the arrival At
home. by the Lady Franklin on Thursday eve
ming. of the Hon. David Cooper, who has been
absent at the City of Washington since the
meeting Of Congress in December last.
To no man, always saving and excepting our
late DELEGATE. Hon. II. N. Rice, are the people
A. Minnesota indebted for the success OF the
v.r;ous measures before Congress, in which
thew were deeply interested, than to him whose
return in good health We now have the pleas
ure of announcing. And especially are the
citizens of the Reserve, on the West side Oft
Mississippi, indebted to him for the success Of
the bill extending to settlers thereon the right
of pre-emption, and to the citizens Of Minneap-
oils the benefits of the act Of 1914, respecting
the right to enter town sites |; for we are well
assured that to his influence, and that which
he was able to control through his brother. the
honorable Senator from Pennsylvania, mainly
depended the passage of that bill through the
Senate. In saying this, and in doing justice to
our friend and iellow-townsman, We are far
from intimating want Of either zeal or In
huence on the part of Mr.. Rice {; but this bill
reached the Senate from the House near the
close of the session. when our delegates pres
ence was continually demanded in the House,
and he consequently con6ded the fate Of the
measure to the gentleman whose name heads
this article.
With respect to the great measure Of the ses'
slon-the defeating OF the resolution annulline
the charter of the N. and N. W. r. R. Cot
vas Judge Cooper alone who had charge Of the
obnoxious thing after it passed the House
and it was owing to his assiduous and indefati-
gable exertion that the resolution met with
such an overwhelming defeat in the Senate
That this required no slight labor and infu-
ence is sufficiently manifested from the feel
ing evinced by the vote of the House, on the
passage of the resolution through that body
feeling got up by falsely representing the
wishes Of the people of Minnesota, and the
character and conduct of the gentlemen COM
posing the NJ. and N. W. R. r. Co. This feel
ing had to be overcome. and these falsehoods
counteracted. The duties of doing this devol-
we'd upon Judge Cooper, and worthily did he
perform IL.
And when the question Of ratifying the Win
nebago, Chippewa and Pillager treaties came
up in the Senate, the Judges tact and influence
were again called into requisition as indispen-
sible. Itwas the last night of the session, and
the work Of explaining to Senators the reasons
for making the treaties. and the almost abso-
Lutte necessity of having them ratified at that
instant, devolved almost exclusively upon him.
Mr.. Rice at that particular time was solely aud
busily engaged in the other end of the Capitol
getting through those munificent appropria-
lions for various objects in the Territory.
We bid the Judge welcome home. aud are
glad to know that he intends to remain among
rs and devote himself seduously to his profess
sion.

ExAoGERAroS.--The Chicago Tribune of Tues
day starts off with stately leader upon the
subject Of "quarentine" in that city, in the fol-
lowing style:
that the cholera has commenced its ravages
on the Mississippi river and that deaths have
siready occurred in many Of the towns lying
on that stream, between st. Louis and St.
Paul. rF Er-
We can speak for that portion OF the Missis-
sipi between Galena and ST. Paul, and for St.
Paul itself; and we must be permitted to say
that our Chicago neighbor is very wide Of the
truth, when he asserts that "the cholera has
commenced its ravages" in this quarter. The
few cases Of sickness among the throngs now
tending in this direction, can, as we explicitly
stated the other day, all be traced to the i'm
prudence of the sufferers themselves And at
this time, although one should suppose that
sickness would increase as the season advances
quite the contrary is the fact. The two pack
cts up from Galena Immediately proceeding
the Lady Franklin-which arrived en- Thursday
evening-had not a case Of sickness on board.
derby gentleman from Virginia by the name Of
Lewis, physician we are informed, who came
aboard at Galene from southern boat, very
unwell at the time He was much frightened
at being sick on the river, but was strongly
prejudiced against the usual remedies admins
tered by our physicians. This is very Sigh,

The earth they report, is actually parched and

vegetation appears for cattle; there is no wood
for building. and no water but in the rivers to
