The Railroad Commencement.
To the Editors of the lNinnesOtid7,

GENTLEMEN | don't know where your
Reporter got his information about the
commencement of work on the Minnesota and
Pacitic Railroad but my inquiries lead me
to believe that elema aaen and two of those
blind of an eye each, is the extent Of the force
yet employed These men say they get 80
cents day. 1t may be all right-especialy
as NED RICE is said to have obtained lots OF
money East-but still cannot but have my
doubts whether this is bona 6de commence
ment, to be continued right along, in good
faith. fail to see the advantage of COM
mencing this week with a weak force of
eleven men, if it be true that the Railroad
folks intend next week to put on mere men.
1t does look to me SUSPICIOUS.
Our correspondent is too suspicious.
Give them time. Give the company fair
chance and let us judge them by their ac-
tons. Mr.. Ed RICE has declared he has ar
ranged for all the money needed the COM
pany declare they are going ahead honestly
and without any mistake and will probably
prepare, ready for the superstructure," as
much as fifty miles Of the Road this summer!
Let US abide the result. Let us wait and see.
If the event should falsify promises-if the
main consideration under which the people
voted for the Loan Bill, namely, present relief
this year by the expenditure Of money upon
the Reads now-not next year--snould fail,
and tie people find themselves deluded,
cheated and swindled-then it will be time
enough to cry havoc and let slip the dogs
of war;" In the meantime let us wait
watch and wait-for the end is not yet!

1t is entirely gratifying to our feelings,
says the Chicago Tribune, and we have no
doubt it will be SO to the Republicans of the
West, to learn of the reelection of JOHN p
HALE to the Serate of the United States, by
the New Hampshire Legislature. The prin-
ciple of rotation in Office is good one when
it does not rotate the best men out of Office
and poorer ones in. Mr.. HALE has the facul-
ty of bringing down political humbugs, in a
greater degree than any other public man in
the country. In the long and bitter contests
over slavery in its Protean forms, Mr.. HALE
is an invaluable auxiliary On the Republican
side. His principal failing is an inveterate
Incidence, but he is rarely absent from his
post, and the particular place which he fills
could not be easily supplied Strong common
sense is the marked feature of all his speech
es; while his early and undertaking devotion
to Free Soil principles leaves nothing to be
desired for the cause for which the Republl-
can party exists.

Congresses of the United States and the Presi'
dents of the United States, have seen fit to
recognize them us Independent domestic
nations :" and we therefore tell Mr.. SIBLEy
that we have about as much right to extend
our laws over them in their o,OD country, as
we would have as State to extend our laws
over Selkirk settlement in the British posses
SionS
The treaties by which they hold their Re
servation are " the highest laws of the land,
scarcely inferior to the Constitution of the
Union itself. They are much superior to oul
State Constitution; and the laws Of the
United States regulating intercourse with
them in their own country or on their Rescr-
walton, are superior to our State laws.
If Mister SIBLEY will examine them
he will find that those laws Of the United
States make the U. S. Indian .4gent, the only
white man who has any business to exercise
authority within their borders and they
also give him the right to eject by force any
white man from their country who comes
there without pass from him
With such laws of the United States in
existence, what does Mister SIBLEY intend
by his talk about extending the laws Of
our State over all the Indian tribes within
our boundaries 2"
We have shown that wIhoG the Indian
country, and withoM the Reservations, our laws
already in eristence meet the case! 1t is but
two or three years since, under those very
laws, we hung here in St. Paul, an Indian
for numbering a white woman. There are
thousands who will recollect this event. On
the other hand, it is evident that to extend
our laws over them in their own country.
would inevitably bring US in conflict with the
United States, who, if the Indians objected
would be bound to interfere.
In any view, therefore, that we take of this
point in Mister SIBLEY's message, his recon-
mendation is either sheer nonsense or con-
templates sheer mischief!
OF all the fools in this world, save us and
the community from the fool whose self-suffi-
cheney knows it all, and knows nothing well

City Affairs.

A Communication appeared under our To-
cal head yesterday morning, with the title
of our City Taxes and Finances" which con-
tains some errors, and is quite too indiscrim-
mate in its censure of all the old members
of the City Council for being, as it charges,
the orisinators of the present debt and the
present taxes.
The finances of the City are not in quite so
bad state as our correspondent seems to
think and of this he will be convinced'by a
reference to the report Of the Finance Com
mittee of the Council on last Tuesday. Nor
should the Council be altogether blamed for
the expenditures of the past two years.
All the world was crazy with prosperity
and supposed the balloon would always keep
inflated ; the property-holders themselves
stimulated many Of the widest improve
ments and though scape-goats may be ne
cessary now that the bubble has burst, still
we object to piling all the agony of blame
upon the city fathers. Let each man put a
few stripes upon his own back, also, while he
mathematics the city rulers, who in ma
ority of instances only obeyed the popular
Instructions That some useless prena-
ture enterprises, against the popular judg
ment, against the interests of property, were
commenced, and in some instances at fraudu-
! lent prices, and were executed in so slOvenly
manner as to excite both suspicion of
collision, and of being undertaken merely to
give occasion for employing body of Irish
men and of keeping them here solely for the
political purposes Of certain politicians, can
not be we'll denied but our correspondent
has named the men who are probably charge
able on these points and it is but just to
| the other members of the old city govern.
ment to except them from his sweeping an
athena. The journals of the sessions OF
the City Council show, by the yeas and nays
that there has always been a minority of the
old Council board, who endcavored to do
what was right and fair and this minority
should not be Jumped in sweeping eensure
on account of the acts of a majority which
! they in vain resisted and could not control
While speaking Of city matters, we cannot
avoid congratulating our citizens generally
upon the fact that the Councils have just adop-
ted the policy of stopping short all street
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of market places
building of water works,-and every spe-
cies of expenditure not absolutely and vitality
necessary at the present time! And above
ali, let us all rejoice that the infamous Bench
Street contract has probably been beheaded
with other enterprises of the past days OF
unthinking extravaganza on the one hand
and probably Of well-considered schemes of
plunder on the other. Don't open another
street for year-this is the universal pop
uar sentiment of almost everybody except
the Irishmen-and the recent election proved
that their day of power is passing away
The world does move!

Union of the Opposition in PennsyIva-

We noticed recently movement in Phil
adelphia for calling State Convention at
Harrisburg on the l4th of July, to nominate
candidates for Judge of the Supreme Court,
and Canal Commissioner, to be opposed of
"the present National Administration, ,especi-
ally to its despotic and fraudulent Lecompton
policy, and its willful neglect of the just claims
of domestic industry, and who are in favor of
the Sovereignty of the People over their own
local concerns; of American Institutions as
against the policy and intrigues of foreign
Governments"
The movement has been Consummated by
the withdrawal of the call for State Conven-
ton on the Sth of July by the American Re-
publlcans, and the adoption of the call for the
18th of July State Convention by the Ameri-
can Republican, the Republican, and the
American State Committees. The Opposi-
ton will therefore hold but one Convention.

A HORRIBLE MURDER AT WABAsHAv "

A HORRIBLE MURDER AT WARAsHaw-
We are indebted to Mr.. SLADE, who arrived
on Sunday morning from Wabashaw, for the
particulars OF one of the most horrible and
cold-blooded murders ever committed in Min
nesOta.
1t seems that poor German widow wo-
man, who with her three children lived in
extreme degradation and poverty in hovel
at the lover end of Wabashaw, had been
suffering from lingering illness for a long
time, and was kept from starvation and death
only by the charities of the citizens living
near How such person, suffering and dy-
ing, could have excited the least enmity Of
any one, or the i'll WILL of the meanest thing
in human shape that ever lived, is beyond
comprehension. But whether any cause ex-
listed or not is not known. Yet this person
was most brutally murdered, assassinated
rather, On Friday night last, as follows:
She called upon one of her children to get
up and light candle, and get her drink Of
water. The child did So when the woman
raised herself up in the bed, drank the water,
and requested the child to 90 to bed and leave
the light burning, which it did. In mo-
ment from this time she was fired a. by some
fiend outside, and fell back upon her couch.
and died almost instantly. The gun, which
the assassin pointed through crevice of the
shanty, was loaded with buckshot, the whole
charge Of which entered near her heart, and
almost severed her left arm.
Suspicion fastened Immediately on Ger
man Butcher residing in Wabasbaw. who
disappeared just at this time of the deed, and
fled to Wisconsin. This confirmed the cti-
zens of that place in their convictions that
he was the blood-thirsty monster, and an
armed party started alter him. If they catch
him, most probably the Sheriff and Court
will be spared the trouble of trying and ex-
ecuting him.

ANOTHER MURDER IN CARVER County,
The body of man named James Halliday,
resident of this city, was brought from
Carver County on Sunday, for purposes of
interment and inquest. DR.. Wren being
summoned, held the inquest over it at the
house Of Dan. Donivan, on Olive street be-
tween 9th and 9th. The testimony elected
the following facts.
Halliday, who is young unmarried man.
it seems jumped q claim in Carver County
near Waterton, belonging to a person
named O'Sullivan, his brother.in-law. and
two OF his brothers. A quarrel took place on
Friday evening between the parties, when
one OF them seized rifle, and shot Holiday
through the head, killing him instantly
OSullivan, and the two others were instantly
apprehended, and held in confinement at
Watertown, guarded by citizens, but were
shortly afterwards released as there are no
qualified officers in Carver County.
The body was brought to his friends of this
city for interment, and as there was no Cor
oner in Carver County, DR.. Y, ren was oblig-
ed to hold the usual inquest over it here.
The inquest was adjourned until this morn
ing, when verdict will probably be- given in
accordance with the above facts, which COM
prise all we could CLEAN of the affair. The
parties were all Irish.
The body was buried yesterday by order
