THE ADMISSION OF MINNESOTA.

1t will BIO seen from the report Of yesterday pro-
ceedings in the House Of Representatives that the
Senate bill for the admission Of Minnesota as State
into tho Union was passed by that body without
amendment. Itnow needs only the signature of the
President to be law Of the land We suppose
this formaiy will be at once performed and that the
representatives of the thirty-second State Of the
Union will take their seats in each house Of Congress
to-day 1t will DO seen that there was very small
vote against the bill. It's passage was celebrated
yesterday afternoon by the firing Of thirty two guus
Thus which has been pending before Congress
for more than Ave months has been Mt last consum-
mated. We have but single fault to find with it
and that is, that it has been delayed too long. 1t
might have been enacted in December, or January,
with as much propriety as it has been done now.
