Minnesota Fraudulent Railroad Suit.

This suit, which has been long pending in
the Supreme Court of the United States at
Washington, has been dismissed on the mo-
ton of the Attorney General. The judg-
ment of the Court in Minnesota Territory
stands good for the particular section of land
sued for, but no further, and the Government
authorities treat the act granting the land as
repealed. Thus this whole grant falls to the
ground, and the young and beautiful Terri
tory of Minnesota has lost magnificent do
nation, by an act Of gross criminality, COM
mitted to subserve the interests of a set OF
unprinoipled and mercenary speculators-
-Galena Ad0tniser. -, -
Our neighbor, as has been his wont from
the start, reads the affairs of the Minnesota
and Northwestern Railroad Company thro'
the greenest kind of goggles. The sua has
not been dismissed.
The judgment of the Courts below was
not touched by the late decision delivered
at Washington by Judge Nelson. All that
has been "dismissed is simply the writ OF
error, as we understand it. IF
But the following communication from Mr..
Rice explains the whole matter better than
we can :-~sa ~ .-....- ., 81. q...,- g.. ---..-
To THE EDITORS OF THE MINNEsoTIAN
Il enclose an extract from letter of Hon.
Reverdy johnson, in regard to the discon-
tinuance of the suit against the Minnesota
and Northwestern Railroad Company by
the Supreme Court of the United States, to
wit:
" The Minnesota case is merely discontin-
ued. The entry in the Intelligencer was
from the certificate signed by Judge Nelson,
the Judge giving the opinion. But, being
satisfied that the certificate was wrong, he
altered it so as to make the decision mere
discontinuance. This leaves the judgment
below in full force, as if no writ of error had
been sued out"
may as well inform you also that have
been officially advised by the Company that
the Attorney General has agreed to the in
stitution of new suit without delay, which
shall settle all the questions in dispute be-
tween the United States and the Company,
before the Supreme Court of the United
States at it's session in December next.
l am also officially advised that the Com
pany will resume its surveys early in the
Spring and locate the road as early as may
be. if an extension of time be granted by
the Legislature.

period of the battle of Marathon. It was

Afterwards, upon motion of Mr.. Van Vor-
hes, the report was recommitted to the
Committee, with instructions to strike out
the words founded upon wrong and injus-
tice."
We presume Mr.. Van Yorhes does not
deny the truth of the allegation; but in his
opinion, it is clearly supplementary for one
branch of Legislative body to allude to the
action of the coordinate branch in such
high terms of disapprobation. For the House
to say that the Council had deliberately
committed an act founded upon wrong and
unjust principle, would certainly be out Of
order. But in our opinion, it is the privi-
lege of every body at the same time to be-
lieve the charge, and it is our conviction
that the House Committee told nothing but
the truth. -.
