Mr.. Letcher, of Virginia, who is terribly
afraid that Minnesota. should she get a Rail
road, will become State of the Union before
he can get up new Niger State" to balance
her, has moved the following resolution in the
House. Mr.. L. had better wait till he hears
from the Minnesota Legislature before he has
the charter annulled: .,.......
Mr.. Letcher, by unanimous consent intro.
duced the following resolution, which was read
considered, and agreed to:
WHEREAS, The law organizing the Territory
of Minnesota, in the last clause of section six
in the following terms, viz. -" All laws passed
by the Legislative Assembly and Governor,
shall be submitted to the Congress of the Unit
ed States, and, if dsapproved of, shall be null
and of no effect" reserves to Congress the right
of revising and disappearing all laws passed
by said Territorial Legislature therefore,
Resolced, Thatffe acts of said Territorial
Legislature as certified to this body, be refer
red to tho Committee on the Judiciary and that
said Committee inquire into the propriety of
declaring the act chartering the Minnesota and
Northwestern Railroad Company "null and of
no effect" and that they make report to this
House of their action In the premises.

Precedent, Consistency and Law.


We alluded yesterday to the fact, ithat Mr..
Sibley, under strong impulse of ill-temper,
moved in the House on Tuesday to declare the
seat of Maj. Fridley vacant-the ostensible rea-
son given by Mr.. S. being that Maj. F. claimed
to hold two civil Offices. BE-. "a.
At the session of the Minnesota Legislature
of 1851, jesse Taylor, member of the House,
was at the time holding the Office of Sheriff of
Washington county and David Gilman, also a
member of the House. was Sheriff of Benton
county. Although the most exciting session
ever yet held, we never heard word said
about declaring their seats vacant.
If it be not legal for the Sheriff of Ramsey
county to sit in the House as a member, is it
legal for the Sheriff of Dakota county to hold
an OFF, in the Council? Mr.. Bartlett, the
Sheriff of Dakota, is Fireman of the Council
and obtained the office through the influence of
Mr.. Sibley and his fright bower" JOS. R.
Brown. A Fireman, or Clerk, or any other
elective officer Of either branch of the Lcgisla-
tive Assembly, is just as much 'civil oficer'
as member is, and perhaps more so in law
But we have no idea that either the Sheriffs
now attending to other than Sheriffs' duties at
the Capitol, will be disturbed. We merely re-
fer to the Sheriff of Dakota to exhibit to our
readers another specimen of Mr.. Sibley's con-
sistency.
A member ola Legislative body is not a
"civil officer" within the meaning of the law.
The books are full of decisions which settle this
point, and Mr.. Sibley being lawyer, or pro-
Tossing to be, should have known this fact
Perhaps he was too furious at the time to think
of IT,
