judge Of their cogency. Those, however,
which are given, tits to be presumed are tie
strongest those papers could ind, and as they
are in the opinion of the writer untenable, it
is very likely The others are equally SO.
Mr.. Douglas is represented as rapping Gov.
Gornan, Sibley, Il Co., over the knuckles, by
saying that those who were pressing on this
movement, protesting that it is to vindicate the
purity of legislation, when their sole object is
to pocket the grant, in the event you will re-
move out Of their way tie Territorial Act,
which the Senator from Maryland proposes to
disapprove and annul."
In regard to this attack of the Hon. Sena-
tor upon Messrs. German and Sibley, in the
opinion.of the writer, it is entirely gratuitous
and undeserved. There are sufficient reasons
outside of selfish cupidity which would justi-
fy any man for opposing the grant to this
company; and these, it seems to the writer,
should have secured these gentlemen from so
gross an attack. The great mass of the peo-
pie OF Minnesota, as l have every reason to
think, believe these gentlemen innocent of any
sinister motive in opposing this company; and
[ have no doubt that HISTORY will show that
in doing SO, they have acted in accordance
with the best interests of the Territory, and
with no disparagement to their own, or the
Territory's honor.
In regard do the short space of time ~
days. in which the pleadings of the case were
made up, and which the Senator thinks were
amply sufficient, the wonder is, not that they
were done up so soon; though the history of the
transaction shows why this was so 1.-THE Com
pany was afraid Of Secretary McClelland and
Attorney General Cushing;) but that by a
siam and innocuous tresspasing upon the
public lands, the company should have been
successful in deceiving the Hon. Senator into
the belief that any legal proceedings in the
case were necessary at all.

The GRADING of Tenth Street from Min.
nesota to Wabasha Street will soon be com.
pleted. The work has been tedious one,
but from what cause it is not certain. The
probability is that the Contractors worked
it when they pleased, and let it alone when
they pleased. At any rate, all things must
have an end, and everybody ought to be
glad who has occasion to use that Street

isJ- We have to make an apology. And
that to aeshless, bloOdless, ideal character
And more, to feminine ideality We never
meant to do Miss BErsEY TRorwooD any
wrong. Not the slightest, even by indirec
ton. If we entertained no very profound
respect for Miss TRorwooD, we have yet al
ways felt kindly towards her, if for nothing
else than her penehant for girl babies; and
would not, therefore, have deliberately made
any statement likely to compromise her po-
sition in the world of fancy or fact. Yet,
though feeling thus, we did, yesterday, as
s..gn Miss TRorwooD "a local habitation and
a name " in Mr.. DIcKENs's "Bleak House y
Now there is no especial disgrace ir dwell
ing in any tenement however unpromising
in name, or cherries in fact, if one is in low
circumstances, or the like Necessity, how
ever hard, brands no mark of shame upon
goodness and virtue. And yet, we can
readily understand that lady Of Miss
TRoTwooD's peculiar sensibilities would take
quite to heart such disparagement as might
be implied 10y the ignorant from the style of
our remark. Our gallantry, therefore, i'm
pels US to the amende honorable; and We
state it as our full belief, that Miss BErsEY
TRorwooD never had anything to do with
the Bleak House" never saw it, and had
no acquaintance with, or concern about any
OF its inmates, or the litigants for its pos
session. Miss TRorwoon, therefore, and the
other one who bears that pseudonym, will
please accept this, our humble apology.

tuc icy iSiatIOu Vi CoLSrcSo! NouSreSS luteilu-
ed to grant the land to Minnesota. The land
was granted"
Yes, Mr.. COOPER, she intended to grant the
land to Minnesota, but not for the benefit OF
this company. The Act, by q forgery, was
made to defeat the intention of Congress, and
rs it passed, it enured to the benefit of the
very Company, which it was the intention OF
Congress to exclude from its provisions. Does
not fraud of this character st imp tbs legis-
iation in tho case as in the highest degree
impure?
Mr.. COOPER continues. "Are we to punish
Minnesota for an act which was committed by
others entirely beyond her control? There are
no grievous char .es alleged against Minneso-
IA, and vets stranger to our doings here
would have believed that she had been guilty
of some grievous offence against propriety.'
How specious and yet how sophomorical
No, Mr.. COOPER, common sense as we'll as
common honesty would not suggest the pro.
priety Of Minnesota being punished; but they
would suggest, and you ought to have suggest
ed, that Company that would obtain grant
ofland by Justification Of an Act, which
alone gave them the possession of it, should be
punished by the forfeiture of the Charter
which Congress had the right to annul and
