Gov. Siblcy's Military Appointments.

The Saltwater Messenger says: "Every
military appointment made by Gov. SIBLEY,
that we have yet heard announced, is Dem
ocrat. The universally of this feature of
Gov. SIBLEY's magnanimity of, is justly excl
ting remark. So far as our reading and OBJ
servation extend, it has heretofore been the
policy of our Government to keep the military
entirely free from all political or partisan in
llucnces. When the theory of the Govern
ment is changed in this respect, we commence
vcrging upon a despotc or military admins
tration of governmental affairs. We have
never before known the Executive of State
to organize his military staff from partisan
friends and upon political grounds, irrespec-
tive of military qualifications.
ut might be expecting too much to look
for different things from an Executive who
holds his position through acknowledged
frauds, and whose whole political success has
been the result of mOccasin tactics; but we
very much doubt whether the people of the
State,-irrcspective of party-will consent to
the conversion of our militia system into
political engine. The course Of Gov. SHELLEY
is to be depored, and the success and efficiency
of our military system demands more mag
nanimous and manly policy"

The Hcenan Tri0l.

This trial drags its slow length along, but is
approaching a termination. The testimony
elected SO far has been conclusive and strong
as any one can see who has read it as report
ed from day to day in our columns. Thus
the public can judge his case Alright, ard will
give their verdict, no matter how that Of Mis-
ter SHELLEY may be.
The Saltwater Messenger Of Tuesday says
"The trial of Edward Heenan, Register OF
Deeds of Ramsey county, for official malfeas-
ance, is still progressing before Gov. Sibley
A terrible state of public affairs is being deve-
oped in that county. The Developments
thus far leave no room to doubt that the Re
gister will be removed, and that the people
have been bleeding most profusely through
official peculation."

Letter of Col. Mobiles,
ST.. PAUL, Nov. %, 1868.

ST.. PAUL, Nov. %, 1868.
To the Editor o/He Times:
SIR Ny attention has been drawn to the
following paragraph in your paper of the oath
inst:
CHARGE AGAINST col. MOBILES.
A Washington correspondent, under date
Nov. 9th, writes as follows:
81 have been informed by clerk in one of the
departments, that COL Mobiles has been set down as
defaulter to the amount of over $40, 900. The
difficulties under which he has labored since his
appointment must have brought about that result.
Having had some knowledge of the great anxiet,
he exhibited while l in st. Paul, during his de-
tentiOn after he had purchased his outfit and en-
pOyed his men for want Of funds, and being obliged
to borrow money on his own responsibility in Or
der to proceed at last and then being compelled
to finish his work without funds, it would not seem
strange to me if in the operation he should come
out the looser in the end. He must have been too
strong friend of Douglas Notwithstanding Doug
las partality to the Southern Route"
From our knowledge of the man and the facts
connected with his business, We are inclined to
think there is some mistake about this However,
the publication of the charge will give the Colonel
an opportunity to explain how matters stand.
At a proper time and in a proper place, 1
shall be able to show, that to be set down as
,,defaulter in one Of the departments at
Washington city, does not necessarily make
man a defaulter, or justify the government
in publishing one as such.
The simple fact with reference to my ac-
counts as superintendent of the Fort Ridgley
and South Pass Wagon Road is, that the
Government owes me instead of my owing
the Government, and that too, to very con-
siderable amount
The history of Congressional Legislation
with reference to appropriations to wagon
roads and the manner in which the appropri-
ations have been expended, is yet to be writ
ten.
When history is written, in my humble
judgment, it will be made apparent that neith-
er the letter nor the spirit of the law has been
observed, and that every dollar heretofore ex-
pended in that direction, has been expended
without the authority of the law and contrary
to the acts of Congress.
AS to the last portion of the correspondence
| have only to say, that this is matter with
which politics has nothing to do, and devel-
opments will be made hereafter which will
put the whole subject before the people of the
country in its proper shape.
Respectfully yours,
WILLIAM II. MOBILES.

Storms OH Lake Superior.

The Detroit Tribune Of the 22d gives an ac-
count of a series of storms unexampled in vio-
lence, which have recently swept over Lake
Superior. The Tribune says:
"The only craft caught outside during the
prevalence Of one of these storms, appears to
have been the Lady Elgin, which experienced
the full force of the terrific gale which occur
ed between the 18th and 10th, when between
White Fish Point and Marquette, bound up.
The Elgin, it will be remembered, had taken
on the cargo of the Gen. Taylor, and was load
ed to the guards. Under the circumstances
her escape is most fortunate. The wind blew
perfect gale and the sea swept completely
over her. One heavy sea dashed into her hold
through the hatchway and damaged quan-
tity of drugs ahd other goods"
The boat finally, on the 18th, made Mar
quette harbor. At that point the sleighing
had been excellent for upwards of a week,
with ten inches of snow. At Bay de Nocquet
the snow was eighteen inches deep.

st. Paul Mercantile L library Asso cfatfOn.
Address to the Public.

The members of the "St Paul Mercantile
Library Association" deem the announcement
of their First Course of Lectures a fitting
time to venture an appeal to cur Public in
behalf of The ends in view, that of establishing
Library and Reading Room, accessible to
regular course of Lectures on such Scientific
and Literary subjects as the Association may
deem best from time to time to lay before a
ST. Paul audience. The history of this Asso-
ciation-its bright promise Of success, liber-
ally encouraged as it has been from its
first inception by all classes of our citizens,
is well known. Suffice it to say amid the
many 1iscouragenents OF the past year it has
been deemed best to defer proceedings until
the present moment.
A GOOD Library is want that has been
long flt a.nong us. y want so acknowledged
and yet so easily supplied should commend
itself at once to the consideration and favor
OF all, more particularly perhaps to those en-

Legal Decision on Five Per Cent. n
Month.

1t is well known to our readers that there
has latterly been question raised amongst
our lawyers and business men, whether the
increased rate of interest after maturity for
which promissory notes have heretofore been
drawn-such as three and five per cent. a
month-was collectable at Law, mainly on the
ground that it was merely in the nature of
penalty On a bond, and not part of the
consideration for which the money was loan
ed. A number of cases have been taken to
the Courts all over the State to test this i'm
portant matter. One of these cases has just
been decided by Judge PALMER, Of this Dis
trict, affirming the legality Of the overdue rates
of interest! The suit upon which the deci-
sion has been given is that of PHILIP GOLD
| SMITH rs CHARLES RICE, ct. al, torecover the
amount Of promissory note for Sc, 800, which
contained condition that it should draw in
terest after maturity at the rate of three per
centum month. To paying this the
defendant, through his attorney, WILLIAM
hoIAINsHEAD, ESQ, demurred, and the case
was argued by him in support of the demur-
rer, and by BRIsDIN & BIGELow in opposition
to it. The Judge overruled the demurrer.
first On technical grounds, and next upon the
merits of the question. A sentence or two of
the closing paragraph of the Judges opinion
gives the gist of his decision. He says:
"The spirit and intent of the law relative to in
| terest clearly show, in my opinion that whenever
| rate IS specified In note, it becomes the legal
and liked rate for that note to the same extent and
for the same purposes would the statutory rate.
| if none were expressed; that such rate is so to
speak, the statutory rate far regards the note
or other contract, to which it relates and is to be
| applied to 1t as measure of damages. The defen-
dants position seems to 60 the length of claiming
that the right of relief in like the present Is
absolute Us the equity of redemption in a mort
gage, and cannot by any language or intent of the
parties be abrogated or controlled. To establish
such doctrine would 90 far to place an embargo
the investment of money, and the circulation of
negotiable notes, for few would be likely to part
with their capital under moral certainty of get
ting only seven per cent. per annum for it for as
long period as the borrower could manage to keep
it after the termination of the original contract 1t
is doctrine that does not commend itself to my
views OF law or equity, and therefore discard 1t.
The demurrer is Overruled."
This decision of Judge PALEER is by nc
means final on the question. In the course oi
the next two weeks, this opinion, and perhaps
that Of some other of the six District Judges
of the State will undergo review by the Su
preme Court; and it is not improbable thai
they may entertain and announce {; very diff
/ ferent opinion on the subject, which is certain
ly one Of vast Importance and magnitude.
