ssHOW it can be Did,,

To the Editors Of the Minnesotian.
SIRs In all the arguments which 1 have
heard against the 100000 loan bill, the op-
ponents have always said that they thought
the bill did not secure the State we'll enough
in " nett profits, mortgaged bonds" ETC., but
think there are some other holes for the mo-
ney to " leak out''
Now, the bill provides that whenever either
of said companies shall produce evidence
that any ten miles of road (mind you they
are not consecutive miles, but all the bad hills
may be skipped) has been constructed, ready
for the superstructure, the Governor shall is
sue to said company, bonds to the amount of
100000, and for every ten miles thereafter
they shall receive 100000, so that if they
have mind to, they need not put on single
rail or tie, but may use the whole of the mo-
ney in grading on the level prairies, where it
will not cost over $4,000 per mile.
But the friends of the bill may laugh at
this. and say, what advantage would it be to
the companies to do that-are they not com
PEELED by their charters to begin at certain
points Will it not be to their interest, to
use part of the money in putting the cars to
running on the Roads, in order that they
may get portion of the land, and by this
means raise more money to go on with their
Roads =? And is not the Minnesota and Pa
cific Company bound by its charter to begin
their Road at Saltwater?
Ha ha gentlemen, you are not as long
sighted as these Railroad men. 1t is not a
crime, if they do not comply with the provis-
ions OF their charter, it is only a forfeiture of
their charter
But you may ask, why should they want
to forfeit their charter ?-it will not be to
their interest to do so, they would loose their
lands, and every thing else, (but the money
that was in their pockets.) Very we'll, let
them loose it, will endeavor to show you
that it will be to their interest.
We will now suppose the bill has been rat
flied by the people the Minnesota and Pa
cifc company go right to work, and send
hundreds of 1rishmen to work grading on the
level prairies in the vicinity of Breckenridge;
what will it cost them per mile ? Not more
than $4,000 if it does that, because the prai.
res are perfectly level, and whenever they
come to hill, they can skip it, It will
also be an easy matter to do the grading on
the whole 125 miles, this summer, which, at
a cost of $4,000 per mile will be $25O,O0O,
whilst for doing the work, the company re
ceive 81, ,250,OO0 Tearing a nett profit in the
company's pockets Of one million dollars!! Is
not that worth throwing up their charter fort
Would they not make money by letting lands,
Roads, State and every thing else (but the
million in their pockets) so to Davy Jones
locker2 What can be done with them
They will have broken no law Their char.
tiers, lands, ETC., may be forfeited, but hoU vil
you get the money out Of their pockets2
Kind reader, I wish you would think the
matter over a little, before you vote for thai
bill. Yours, etc.,

A number Of copies of Senator FoLsoxs
excellent Letter to his Constituents on the

and some other matter of interest, have been

SIRE" The portion erpunged, was all after
the word "kind," viz:
{" At the ADJOURNED or any other Session Of
Of the Legislature!m
We call the attention of the people to this
important omission. These words having
been once in the card-as any person can see
by examining the original document in our
possession-their being struck out nulllfles
the whole pledge-shows conclusively, that
our allegation was correct, of the intention to
LEVY THE STATE TAN just as we charged " at
the adjourned or some other Session OF the
Legislature"
Otherwise, if such is not the purpose, nor
the necessity, why egpssage the material por-
tion of the pledge?
People of Minnesota! be not deceived.
These men, or rather these leaders, and their
masters, the Railroad Companies, know that
the purpose is to pass the Tao Law, if you
approve of the Loan Bill; but they would
like to keep dark about it until after the cleo
ton, for fear that gaunt monster of enormous
State Taxation should frighten thousands
from the gulf of State Indebtedness into which
the Railroad Plunderers desire for their own
pocket purposes, to plunge our infant State.
Again, we ask, arhy were those words
at the adjourned or any other Session of the
Legislature" expunged from the pledge?
A Tempest in a Teapot.
We call attention to a curious debate in
the Senate yesterday, in which Senators Be-
MAN and RIDpATH evince desire to expel
our Legislative Reporter from the floor Of the
Senate, as the only means eff revenging them
selves upon the MimnesOtiam for its fearless
exposure of the shortcomings Of that body,
especially in reference to the $75 voted to
their Sergeant-at-arms for alleged Extra
Service'-whieh extra services consisted of
$40 for liquor furnished and $50 to pay for
a revolver stolen out of the Committee-room
where the liquor was kept!
VIC avail, Will oOulO CuiloolCy, w o0O oAN
upshot of this novel proposition, which is a
little after the boyish fashion Of "if-I-cant-
lick you'll -make-mouths at your sister
kind of hostility.
The items of the extra services" are true;
and as perhaps one Senator drank of the IL
quor, and the other Senator offered the reso-
luton to pay for it, we don't wonder at the
sensitiveness displayed.
Mr.. BEMAN says we are below his con-
tempt! Whenever we get that far down in
the pictures, we certainly will be very low
indeed.
AS to Mr.. REDpATH, he had better keep
his breath to cool his porridge,' for he will
find his brose scalding hot when he gets
down amongst his constituents of Wa5ashaw
county. We observe that the last Waba-
shaw Herald at Reeds Landing, and the last
Lake City Tribune, both take strong ground
against the bill which the honorable Senator
so zealously voted for; but we suppose he
has, like Mr.. BEMAN, a great contempt for all
newspapers, particularly when they reflect
upon his own infallibility Of judgment and
action

who may follow after Bat, there are al
ways said to be two sides to a story. there
fore as we have considered to some extent
one class, whose names should be dear to
every American heart, it is but just, that
we should turn over the leaf, and view its
other side. High and honorable princi-
pies, noble advocated, and sustained thro,
life seldom fail, to make men, whose last
days will be spent in the enjoyment of the
confidence, and cll-wishcs Of grateful
people; but when u dcsertion to those
principles takes place, and the lie is given
to former actions, then they can't do 9TH
crwise than sink into IA disgraeeful obllvi-
on To our common enemies, who have
been reared, entertaining views contrary
to ours, we may look with some degree Of
respect, and, regarding them as sincere in
their belief, we may, in measure, forget
their faults; but when men, in whose con-
fdencc and fidelity the people have trust
ed their interest and welfare, as a sover-
eign state or nation, basely turn over to
the enemy Of their constituents, and act
the part of deserters, then should they
meet the fate that awaits them. Notwith-
standing Benedict Arnold did nobly at
Crown Point and Ticonderoga, passed thro'
many trying scenes III his difficult march
into Canada during the winter of rs,
poured his blood freely at Quebec in be-
half of American rights, yet, for endcavor-
ing to sell the liberties Of his country after
wards, his name is now spoken Of as fully
deserving of the public odiun A VIM.
Hull, though a revolution hero and vet
eran of years, basely surrendered his army
and this whole North West to the enemies,
during the last war with Britain, for which,
his years alone saved him from DEATH
And may not this be applied, with propri-
ETY. upon political affairs? and if 50, what
should be the just reward of men who like
a Charles L. Stuart and others obtained
the public confidence and official position
by sentiments ike the following? "Shall
We now legislate in a manner affecting
California and New Mexico for ages to
come, so as to extend and perpotuatc thi
evil (SlayeryD For ONE | NEVER

this is justly applicable to thc whole LocC

fnanciering Just that amount, (sl5S)
of good money was of course taken out OF
the Treasury, and put into the trousers
of the officer to whom it was allowed. -
The voucher wasn't worth stealing
We must close now, leaving several
other "good things" we have on hand for
another time. We do not fatter ourselves
that this exposure of their old sins will
moisten with repentance single locofoco
optic in the State, butt but remind
ing them Of former fat stealings, it
will exasperate them to think that the
chance to steal any more is departed,
and in their discomfort on that account
we find our satisfaction.
