LOTS FOR SALE IN ANOKA.
A PROPOSITION TO $5,OOO,OOO MEN.

AN0KA, April I'd, 1858.
DIR. FOSTER R.-Dear Sir: The subscriber has some
Four Hundred Lots in AnOka, which worth now in
cash down from 800 to $3.50 per each lot; but
should the Loan Bill be accepted by the people, he will
sell the above lots for One-hdLf the above mentioned
Because he believes that should the Constitution
be amended proposed in the Loal Bill, property at
this place will not be worth in year one-half its
present value. Taking into consideration the provis-
ions of the charter, have fair prospect for
Railroad the East side of the Mississippi River, within
reasonable time. But in the Loan Bill there is nothing
that is binding upon the Company-no penalties attach
ed that weuld prove effective; for when the Loan
Bill is adopted it becomes part of the Constitution of
Minnesota and the subscriber holds that in regard to
those provisions in the Constitution and in the Charter
which conflict, that such conflicting portions of said
Charter must give and succumb to the Constitution
the supreme law of the land. Let the Loan Bill be
adopted by the people, it will stand in the place of the
charter and should the company then violate its pro-
visions. What then2 Why the Companies are beyond
the reach of laws-their rights and franchises will still
stand and no Legislative act be passed declaring
them void
The subscriber is friendly Railroads and he believes
they will be built under the provisions of the
Charter given to the Railroad Companies than they
will by the provisions of the amendment to the Const-
tuition.
For this reason he is ready to sell above stated
soon as the Loan Bill is accepted by the people.
Now If there is any that has faith and confidence
in the Mississippi and Pacific Railroad Company, that
beIieUes it intends to build the Road the East side of
the Mississippi with any portion of the money they may
get from the sale of State Bonds they have
to buy the subscriber out in Anoka, and make a for
4. 8. The Bill has been adopted by the people, and
now the lots for sale according to the above propo
sitiOn. WIN. CREIGHTON.

Wasting Time--Legislative Economy.

Wasting Time--Legislative Economy.
The State printing organ of the Democra-
cy, seeks to excuse the waste of time prac-
ticed by the Democratic majority in the Le-
gislature in adjourning over from day to-day
without doing any business, by alleging that
the Republicans offer resolutions to cut down
expenses, and cut off useless offices, and this
creates debate; and therefore the minority are
responsible for great deal of wasted time.
The people will, we think. be very lenient on
the Republicans for this mode of wasting
time, dictated as it is by wish to save the
taxpayers from being plundered by demo-
cratic, or any other officials Is not the
Democratic majority who resist these meas
ures of Retrenchment and Reform, and by
that resistance occasion debate, more censu-
rable even in this respect than the Republican
minority who are seeking to protect the peo-
pie not only at the present but perhaps in a
long future from expense and waste Of public
money The voters are pointed to the record
to show how uniformly the Republicans en-
deavor to get direct votes, with as little talk
as possible, on these economical resolutions,
aid how the Democratic majority resort to
double and twisting parliamentary tactics
and time-killing debates, in order to avoid di-
rect and prompt votes upon the naked prop
ositions. The latter are too much afraid of
the people to dare at all times to vote boldly
against public economy, but try to prevent
its adoption indirectly-and this is the way
time is wasted by them. The people will see
from this, aoho are responsible.

The following are t
Working Democrats.

The Pioneer describes the new member
from st. Anthony as ''working Democrat"
During the last fall campaign We heard Mr..
NoURsE of that place give the definition of
this phrase, as applicable to another working
Democrat of the Falls City.
"a working Democrat" said he, Sin our
parts means, democrat who can poll the
most votes with the fewest number of men !"
A working democratic majority" also is a
majority who in ten days work q hours, at
cost of nearly five thousand dollars to the
State Treasury.

More Offices.

Not satisfied with the present number OF
officers with salaries assessed upon the tax
paying community, we observe proposition
before the Legislature to add to their num-
Der County .4uditor! This is q useless ex
pensc, and we trust the Republicans will op-
pose the creation of such an office. The
town supervisors are auditors sufficient to
settle and pass upon the business of all ac-
counts. If we had continued under the old
County Commissioner organization, An audi
tOr might have been we'll enough-but with
our new organization, it would only intro
duce another and useless corn eater at the
public crib, and we have too many already.

The Unkfndest Cut of All.c

Not long since, on festive occasion at St.
Anthony, DR.. KEITH. one of the Republican
members from that county, took occasion to
speak in ''eloquent terms of the private char
actcr of Mr.. SIBLEY. This inadvertence on
on the part of the Doctor has been comment.
ed on rather freely among his Republican con-
stituents and as if to further humiliate him,
the Pioneer of yesterday morning, comes out
in his defence Though the Doctors offence
is rank, this is a little too heavy punishment.

The Cost of Democratic Legislation.

Our State Legislature met here for the ad-
journed session on the Sd of June. To-day
is the l4th of the month. This makes them
in session ten days, including two Sundays.
Each day the Democratic majority have cho-
sen to hold only short morning session. OF
less than three hours on the average. The
members get for their pay three dollars per
day, besides mileage. Here is the cost of
Democratic Legislation, thus far;

Election in st, AnthOny.

The Rice Republicans of st. Anthony, on
Wednesday elected j. S. DEMMoN, Indepen-
dent Rice Democrat, to fill the vacancy in the
House from that district, occasioned by the
resignation of L. G. WALKER, Rice Republi-
can, by sufficient majority over the Anti
Lecompton Republican candidate, Mr.. LAW
RENEE. Parties will stand in the House, there
FORE just as they did before, with this differ
ence merely, that there will be Democratic
instead of Republican Rice man to repre-
sent ST. Anthony and of the two we prefer
the former kind, with an exceedingly small
preference for either.

To the Editors Of the Minnesotian:
SIR: noticed in the Pioneer and Times Of
yesterday morning, something of flourish
over the remarks which made in the House
on Saturday, in regard to the MINNEsoTIAN
reporter. The point which sought to make
in my remarks on that occasion, land which
were very incorrectly reported in the Times
and Pioneer) was this That the reporters
who were permitted to report our proceed
ings by the House. and who hold, in the eyes
of the public at least, scrt of semi-official
connection with our body, should report those
proceedings correctly. That Sibey being
Governor, dc .facto, recognized as such by the
House, should be so regarded by the report
ers without regard to their private opinions
of the legality of his election. 1 expressly
disclaimed all intention to blame or control
the editorial conduct of the MINNEsoTIAN,
and made no alusion whatever to the course
of that paper towards DR.. Keith.
spoke only of the reporter in his profess
sional capacity.-I have my own opinion in
regard to the legality of Mr.. Sibley's eec
ton, which | should not hesitate to express
on all proper occasions. That opinion might
perhaps not differ very essentially from your
, own, but its expression is not necessary to
the purposes of this explanation.
Yours, etc., N. S. TEFFT.
I'm giving place to the above card from
Dr. TEFFT of Wabashaw, we simply desire
to express our dissent from the position he
takes, that our reports are in any sense to be
regarded as official reports, semi or Other
wise.
They are our own reports of the doings Of
legislative body, made by eur own reporter.
at our own expense, and for the information
Of the sovereign people and not for the graft
fcation or convenience of their servants.
The House admits our reporter to place Oh
the floor inside its bar simply to allow him
an opportunity of ensuring greater correct
ness in his sketch of proceedings by being
near the Clerks desk and this is done also,
not so much for our benefit as for their own.
If they choose to resort to sucn tyranny as
to expel the press from place inside the
bar, for simply refusing to Indian Trader
SIBLEY the title of Governor to which he
has no right in equity, having obtained the
Office through forgery, it has the power to
do SO; but under the Constitution, thank God,
the Gallery or Lobby is the Peoples Throne,
and our Reporter will find shingle on which
to report SO much of the proceedings as may
Interest the public, with larger license also
to report things " correctly" and exactly as
they occur, than is at present consistent with
a decent forbearance for the fobles, the inca
pacity or the absurdites of members
Saint Paul weekly Minnesotian., 1858-06-19
A Step Gained.

We are glad to see by the House proceed
ings yesterday, that the Republicans succeed
ed, with the aid of a few Independent Demo-
Gratis, in reducing the pay of the Clerks from
SIS down to So per day. This is step in
the right direction. Let the Republicans
persevere. The people are with them.

WHEN Captain Harstein and the Arctic
which vessel was sent to look after the Styx,
the Tartar and Buzzard, were last heard from,
the ship was padding off Hatteras, at four
miles an hour, having made from the Capes,
80 miles per day. There is one advantage in
such vessel-if she gets into a fight she
cannot run away.

We hear it inquired, how much we suppose
the Times received for rendering its present
treacherous. aid and comfort to the Demo-
cratic party, its men and it's stealings, eide
Fort Smelling? We can't say. 1t doubtless
went cheap-very cheap 1t always does.-
