IN regard y the removal Of the Capitol,
come into the canvass during tho last
election, we could not hesitate where to
fix the guilt--as il is, we cannot censure
the minority for pursuing the course
they did especially AZ they manifested
IA willingness to leave the whole ques-
ton 70 the people-the proper way to
settle such difficulties; and when we
see legislative body unwilling to sub
nit 4 question to such arbiters, we can
not but think that there il something
."rotten in Denmark. I
II, however, some on both sides were
censurable or even dishonest, we are
quite sure that there were also those On
both sides who acted according to their
honest convictions. This article has
been spun out to a tedious length
we are aware & we shall close by mere
ly remarking that as far as the improve
ment Of the water power at Sauk Rap
IDS is concerned, it is placed back lust
one year. Still her advantages cannot
be taken away from her, and they viii
be duly appreciated by all disinterested
persons, and in time it must
be realized that putting and blowing
are but poor commodities when they
come in competition with the real ad-
vantages which town may possess.

"a During our late sojourn at the
Metropolis Of the Territory, we met
many old familiar faces-some of whom
we became acquainted with pretty well
on towards quarter Of century ago,
and others, friends with whom an ac-
quaintance began at more recent date.
We were most gratified TO learn, that
with hardly an exception, they were
prospecting in temporal affairs. Our
friend. Andrew c.. Dunn, we take an
especial interest in. He is one Of the
pioneers cf Sauk Rapids. He helped
lay cut the town. Here lie made his
debut as q lawyer. He practised here
before our courts /; yes before us, while
ice were on the bench, and well will he
recollect, as the poor criminal was bro't
upto be acquitted or committed to the
prison Of Benton County (if he had no
friend to 60 his baiD before sentence
was pronounced upon him, that the
Court in his feeling remarks tothe ac-
cused, never failed, when he alluded to
the impartiality of the examination, to
impress upon the minds Of the accused,
the witnesses and others present, that
all had been done by the learned coun-
sci that legal lore, shrewdness and in
genuity could bring to bear in his favor,
but to no avail. He had been accused,
andthe accusation sufficiently sustained,
Of selling bad Whiskey to the Winnie
Ibagoes, and the cold walls Of Benton
prison waited tc receive him. Some
times the Court was much abused by
the criminal, sometimes by the counsel,
it is true, but the dignity of his station
sustained him, and he never got whip
ped il he could get out Of the way. We
rejoice in friend Dunn's prosperity, but
we do not think he ever appreciated the
start we gave him in his legal career
while we were acting as an humble JUS
tice of the peace, a short distance above
Sank Rapids. He ought to get for the
F'ontierman One Hundred paying sub
1scribers. and the proprietors Of Sauk
Rapids ought .to give him . Town Lot.
lie takes our paper aud adyestises ID
II. Still more, he pays for both.

ST. PAUL ENGINE WORKS.

a.8
Bya reference to our advertising col
umns,s it will bessen that the Steam En-
gine Works off. Gilman, OF ST. Paul,
are il full blast and in successful opera
ton. II has been fitted up IN am
pie order, and is now, we are told,
one Of tho first establishments Of the
kind this side Chicago. We had the
pleasure Of visiting these works recently,
and were surprised to find an establish
ment 50 extensive, in o city Of the age
of St. Paul. 1t is an evidence Of the
thrift Of that city, and Of the energy and
enterprise Of its citizens. This, the Gas
Works, and other kindred establish
nents already completed and in process
OF completion, show Enthusiastically what
IS to be its future. AS we witnessed
these establishments, with other i'm
provements which meet the eye on ev-
cry side, and in all parts OF the city, we
could not but reflect upon the futility Of
the efforts made by envy and jealousy
to detract from its merits, OF to retard
her onward march to greatness, and to
place among the first cities ofthe west.
Her position indicates it, as well as the
public spirit, the energy, and the enter
Ti. VI
prise Of her inhabitants. We ntend to
say more Of St. Paul at some future time.
We have digressed from the object we
had IN view when we commenced this ar
tlcle, which was to speak Of the machine
shop Of Mr.. Gilman. It is but two or
three years ago that Mr.. Gilman pur-
chased the small, one horse foundry. e.
rected by Doctor Borup, if we mistake
not, near the Steam Mill now in charge
Of John S. Prince, Esq. He immedi-
ately commenced improving the works,
and continued doing SO, until it is now
an establishment Of which any city might
feel proud. 1t has been movsd from its
first location, directly back, to the high
ground on Kittson's S addition. The Pat
tern shop is Is by 25 feet, the Machine
shop, 40 by 80 feet, and the Foundry, 80
by 90 feet, and sill extensive additions
are to be made to it, we are informed, the
present season. About thirty hands are
employed by Mr.. Gilman in the various
Of the establishment. One
such man as Mr. Gilman, does more for
the permanent Improvement Of a town,
than forty spectators, and we trust he
will meet with that encouragement from
the citizens Of St Paul which his energy
merits. We would say % all on the
Upper Mississippi who may wish cast
ings Of any description, or any SOFT of
work from Machine shop Of this kind,
to give Mr.. Gilman a call. We have
heard Of men being obliged to go to ma
chine shops in Chicago for work, but we
have no doubt but that everything need
ed for machinery in the Territory can be
procured at Mr.. Gilman's Works, be-
sides, lie should be patronized. When
you 60 down to St. Paul, call on Mr..
Gilman, and he will show you what he
can do.

i g. BY notice ia to-day's paper, il
will be seen that application will again
be made to the Board Of county Com
missioners at their next session, for tho

Importance to the settlers between Sank

people at these two points, that this

hoped that measures will be taken with
out delay to secure such object. BY
letter received from Wellington Russell,
Esq. Of the New York Settlement. we
learn that deep interest is felt in that
vicinity in the matter, and the people Of
Sauk Rapids are urged to take hold of

Il CLAIM JUMPING. =

akz
Our attention has been called to an
article Published ii The ST. Paul Pioneer
and Democrat Of the l2th inst, under
the above caption, signed !" Citizen Of
Lower St. Cloud" called forth BY an
account given IN the Etonlisrmau of an
outrage committed upon three young
men, by certain men, members Of the,
I" Claim Association. :" About the fling
at Sauk Rapids contained in that COM
we have nothing to say.---
From all we can learn, the account Of
that affair as published in the Frontier
man, was, we are sorry to say, ,substan-
TALLY correct and we further believe
that " Citizen Of Lower st. Cloudn
also believed It to be so when he penned
that article. Many will no doubt be
surprised, who have heard Mr.. Cowle.
express himself about the treatment Of
those three men, to learn that he Was
the author Of that communication. Mr..
Cowles, the editor Of the Minnesota
.adrertiser, and Mr.. Cowles, the author
OF the article above alluded to, we
should judge, represent two different
characters.

e8 We areindebted to Gov. Stevens
|of Washington Territory for his last an
ual message to the Legislature of that
Territory. 1t is mostly taken up with
the difficulties they have had with the In
dams, and We judge from it that the Gov
ernor has not been any more exempt FROM
difficulties, censure and abuse, than have
the Governors Of some other Territories.
There is no doubt but that Governor
Stevens has had trying time Of ii, be-
tween hostile sayages on one side, and
factioYs, half-ciyilized politicians on the
other. 1tseems from previous accounts
received, that he was not fully sustained
by President Pierce-but judging from
the message, he was justified in using
the means he did, to protect the coun-
try. The message is valuable as his
tory of the Indian war which so dis
turbed the country for time-It ad-
verts to that fayorite scheme of his, the
Northern Pacif Rail Road, and still
adheres to the opinion that this route is
the most favorable one, Of which VIC pre-
sumo there no longer exists doubt. For
the history the message contains of the
Indian wars, we should like to publish it
entire, but it would take up too much of
our sheet. In our next number we shall
give an extract from it in relation to the
Northern Pacific Route.

WHO KILLED DR.. BURDELI,

The more evidence that is taken on
this awful tragedy in Bond street, the
more clearly it is seen that it was the
work OF no common hand, of no mere
iawless yagrant Though the witness
.es whose testimony has been published
cannot be described as directly fasten-
'Hg the charge ofmurder on this or that
person, yet their evidence goes on the
one side to narrow very materially the
circle within which the culprit must be
brought, and ON the other to lessen the
,mprobability that person in a station
where murderers are supposed to be
uncommon should have taken the life of
the late DIR. Burdel There is risk
and responsibility in giving express
ION, at this early stage of the inquiry, to
the suspicious that ferment in the public
mind. 1t is possible that those whom the
pubic eye now regards as guilty NAV
prove unfortunate. But we are bound
to say that up to this moment the burden
tf the testimony taken is frightfully a.
gainst John j. Eckel and Emma Aupus-
ia Cunningham.
They may be innocent, and heaven
knows we hope they are. But it is, to
say the least, an unfortunate thing that
MIR. Eckel should have gone out before
breakfast that morning, and should have
deposited in his private desk a paper
which would seem to have been pur-
leined from DR.. Burdell 1t is unfortun-
ate that ne should have been on such
terms with the woman Cunningham as
to lead the housemaid 10 regard her as
an lndiscreet mother to grown up dauph-
ters. And it's still more unfortunate
that he should have allowed expressions
OF i'll will towards the deceased to es-
cape him, to which the present coniunc-
ture imparts an awful significance. AS
for the unhappy female over whom the
public wrath now impends, every cir
caTnstance connected with her is unfor-
tunatc. She had husband, who died
suddenly, in his chair, leaving a policy
Of insurance for $40, 600 in favor Of his
wife. Was he poisoned7 We must
dig his body up. She led life after his
death which il described BY the witness
l1ildrath |; life evidently calculated u
harden her heart and steel her nerves.

est woman would willingly keep. Ar

PLATTE RIvER.-Our old friend John
Depue, Of Platte River, has just closed a
contract. we are informed, with Mr.. Ellis
Of the same place, for the erection Of a
Saw Mil, near where the Government
Bridge crosses that River, and on tho
property Of Mr.. Depue. We also learn
that towntis to be laid out as early

a fine thing for the country in the vicin-

may be expected to be done the present

HON. FRIEND J. WHITLOCK

Among the working members Of the
late House Of Representatives, few were
more industrious, or more constantly at
their post, than the Hon. F. j. Whit
lock. A gentleman of no ordinary tai
ents, and one of the finest speakers in
that body, he commanded attention
wherever he attempted to exert an in
fluence. His efforts, however, to car
ry out some favorite schemes of his were
somewhat paralized, by the course he
took on the question Of the removal Of
the capitol. Through this, a sort of
prejudice was created against him in
ST. Paul, and shared in to certain ex-
tent by all who opposed that measure.
What were the inducements Mr.. Whit
lock had for taking the course he did on
that question, we know not, but we can
not impute to him any other than honest
motives and desire to work for what
HO NCCluCu Liz iLlCTCSL. Ol HIS COUSLtu-
ents. The Hon. Friend j. Whitlock, is
a Democrat dyed in the wool, and af-
ter the excitement Of the local prejudi-
ces engendered by adverse interests
during the last session Of the Legisla-
ture shall have subsided, and the para
mount interests of the Democratic party
are fairly understood, the talents, the
honesty and the sound Democracy Of
this gentleman will be duly appreciated.
N- It is said that the Minnesota
Land Grant Of the last session of Con-
gress amounts to 1000, 900 acres, and
the old grant which is now in litigation,
and which it is believed, will soon be re-
leased by a decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States to 5000, 900
acres more. In all, it amounts to r.
0O0,O0O. Surely, Minnesota has cause
to rejoice, in view Of this magnificent
donation.

produced permanent cure in . short time"
