JARRETT, the uncle of Grifford, recently
hung at Andrew, has been captured and ta-
ken in Davenport for safe keeping. A Da-
venport paper gives the following account Of
his capture:
Jarrett was afterwards arrested and taken
to Justices Office for examination. While
there the mob commenced reassembling in
front of the house, and declared their deter
mination to hang him when he came out
But he was taken out the back doc. and
hurried over to Bellevue where lie was
lodged in Jail. Fearing that he would be
taken from this place by the mob the Coun-
ty Judge ordered his removal to the Daven-
port Jail. He was brought here and now
lies in our prison. We have not heard the
minor details, but give the above particulars
as related to us by a responsible citizen OF
jackson County.

Thus it will be seen that from St. Paul
(and consequently St. Anthony, Minneapo-
lis and Stillwater) from Winona and from
La Crosse, the distance is much less to both
Chicago and Milwaukee by the direct Rail-
road route than it would be by a Valley
Route to Prairie du Chen.
As to the road, to the cities upon the low
er Mississippi We have not the dates to give
the exact distances, but are fully satisfied
from knowledge of the curves and bends
in the river which (from the high bluffs on
each side) must be followed very closely, and
from a knowledge of the directness with
which road can be constructed in the
prairie back from the bluffs that the line
from St. Paul via, Faribault to the South
line of the State then to Dubuque would be
as short if not shorter than the Valley Road
would be. The Winona and La Crescent
Roads crossing this will give them the coun-
try accommodated by them direct connec-
ton with Dubuque and all of the towns and
cities below that. Supposing the Valley
Road to be built to the South line of the
State, there is no certainty, no assurance
even that it would be constructed the other
1875 miles necessary to reach Dubuque, but
almost certainty that it would not be con-
structed for the reason that the money can
not be obtained to build Railroad merely
to compete with the navigation of the river,
whereas by the Faribault Branch we are GER
tain Of . through road to Dubuque and pro-
baby in a less distance than by following

" the witness moral principle, with a view
to showing what his testimony was worth.
The question ''did you steal $l,7OO?" was
repeated aga n and again. The witness was
evidently wrought up to high degree of
excitement by being thus compelled to ex-
pose bis own acts and the motives which
led to 1T, before q crowded court and at
last, having permission to make an explana-

herself into the arms of her neighbor in an

build them, even if these negotiations are
conducted by the most skillful financial di-
plomatists of the country. There are vari-
Gus reasons for this; one is, the long period
which will necessarily elapse before these
can, by any possibility, become paying roads.
Another is, that at no period in the history
of this or any other country, was there ever
inaugurated at or near the same time, such
an immense system of Railroads as this
year will be inaugurated in the United
States. Railroad securities will flood every
market from Chicago to St. Petersburg +;
and those Companies of Minnesota that are
compelled to build roads into an unsettled
country, and to no place where any great
amount of trade can exist at the time of
their completion, which, two years from this
date, can negotiate its securities, on such
terms S heretofore have been regarded fair,
must have something more to recommend
them tlan alternate sections of land six
miles deep on each side.

HOUSE OF REPREsENTATIvEs.-1h Speak
T called the House to order at 10 o'clock.
Hon. E. B. Barrows of Olmsted appeared
n his seat.
The Speaker announced the following spe-
tlal committees authorized by the resolu-
hons adopted yesterday.
On Railroads.-Messrs. Black, Branch,
Smith, Baasen, Berry. King, and Gere.

Smith.
State Gooanment.-Messrs. Murry, STAN

Baasen and Kingsbury.
Mr.. Berry said that in making I'D the COM
niftee on Railroads, in order to give vari-
GUS interests fair representation the north
ern part of the Territory had been left out.
he therefore moved that an additional mem
ber OF the committee be added.
Mr.. Kingsbury was added.
Mr.. Murray offered resolution that a
committee of three be appointed to inquire
into the proprety of taking up the unfinish-
ed business of last session.
MIR. Chamblin moved to lay the resolution

BUSINESS has been more brisk for the last
three or four days than we have ever seen
it. Every merchant is "hurred to DEATH
receiving and invoicing goods. The rattle
and noise Of drays was heard on Saturday
until nearly midnight, and still boat after
boat brings hundreds Of tons of freight to
our wharf. 1t was almost impossible to get
along Third street on Saturday. 1t was a
living throng of men, women, horses, wagons
and cattle, all mixed up in one confused
mass. The city is full of strangers, and ev-
cry hotel is crowded to overtiowing. The
season has certainly opened with full flush
of trade and travel, which surprises and yet
pleases every one who reioices in the pros
perity of our beautiful city.

the river, whereby the great interests of the
whole Territory are to be fully subserved.
AS to the third the local accommodation
of the towns on the Mississippi, they have
the river during the summer, and fall and it
the other portions of the State had been as
we'll Accommodated there would have been no
grant at all.
By building up the towns, and by devel-
oping the country as the roads provided for
in the Land Grant are sure to do, the
strongest inducement is thus held out for
the eventual building of road in the Valley
of the Mississippi river when the population
and business shall have increased so as to
make a road remunerative. NJ.

'The President was serenaded by the
Marine band last night on the occasion of

INDIGNANTLY TO ANrMALs.-Daily on our
wharf, and the streets leading to it, we are
panied to witness scenes of inhumanity to
brutes, by overlooking them, urging them up
steep grades, and inficting blows and pun
ishment of the most hOrrid description,
when unable to perform all that their brutal
taskmasters impose upon them We be-
lieve there is no law ''to prevent cruelty to
animals" such as is in force in most cities,
here. If there is, let every policeman i'm
mediately carry it out in prosecuting the au-
thors of such outrages, and our police court
make an example of them, and if not, let
our city council at its next meeting, pass an
ordinance to that effect, imposing penalty
of heavy fine, or few days impris-
onment in the calaboose, on every mon
ster who may be caught in the act of over
loading, overdriving, or inhumanly beat
ing the noble animal which ministers SO
much to our ease and use.
