During the recent campaign, in the Re-
publican platfrom, in the lengthy address
issued by the State Central Committee Of
tba, party, and particularly BY the Repub.
lican Senator elect, on the stump, serious
charges were made against Gov. SIBLEY,
and the Democratic State officials, charging
them With the corrupt application Of the
contingent funds, appropriated for the use Of
their respective offices. Our readers, and
the public, will rccolecs that such choice
terms As stealing" -':corruption," and
public robb ry," were used by the opposi
ton, when treating Of the disbursement Of
this money by the :)emoca,ic State officials.
In his message Gov. SIBLEY referred to
these charges in the following terms:
During the late canvass, serious accusations
were pub'icaly made against the State off,
GERS, that some If not all oe them had ap
psopviated to their private use the sums
placed at their disposal to defray the ncces-
sary expenses Of their several Offices, or for
other objects conner ted with the government
ofthe State. 1t devolyes upon tho. House
'of Representatives to institute . riged. exam
ination into the accounts Of each Of these
officers, and earnestly RECOMMEND the ap-
pointment of q committee for that purpose,
with power 70 send for persons and paper.
It is due to the honor Of the State, - we'll
as to those officers who are innocent, that
this course be pursued, and the guilty, II

CONGRESSIONAL AND LE(:lSLAT
I'VE SUMMARY.

Nothing has been done in Congress, since
our last, except to ballot for speaker. In
dications are that speaker will soon be
elected. The Republicans have come with.
lin few votes Of tho necessary number.
On the 2lst, Cobb Of Georgia asked them
whether they had no other candidate than
Shcrman--a member who had not endorsed
Helpers Book. This points at Corwin, who
would be elected on the first ballot if The
Republicans started him. Then followed q
conversation between Cobb and Ethrdse
(American,) in which it appeared that the
bulk Of the Americans are willing to sup
port Democratic candidate, as soon as j,
is evident that their. votes will elect him
but said Ethridge you have no candidate
that can obtain the 50 votes you claim -
Cobb stated that the objections to harmony
were now overcome, and the 18th ballot
was taken. Whole number 226--ncecssary
to choice ia Sherman LOG, .Millson So
Gilmcr 6, Ethiidge z; Davis 4, Scattering Z
We look for the next ballot with great in
|terest, as it is likely to elect Millson.
/, In the Seea,e,a Slidell introduced a bill
making appropriations for the purchase
Of Cuba. Senator johnson Of Tennessee
introduced homestead bill. ..g. .
In the Legislature nothing At all has beel
done. The Republicans having determined
to transact 90 business until Gov. Ramse
is sworn in; fearing the Democratic part.
may divide with them the credit for certain
measures now proposed by both parties
The week has therefore been spent in dis
cussing the Abolition resolutions introduce
BY McLaren and others. The member
have voted that their own orders upon tn
treasury shall bear interest. This was Nj

There are many indications which go to

Of legislators or governors good times are
again returning to Minnesota There is q
constantly increasing flow Of gain into ali

in the cash value Of the same. As far US
our own town is concerned, although the

snow, it never presented more lively appear
ance than it has for the last four weeks
4 fair quality Of wheat has this week brought
lseventy cents per bushel-caah. Wheat
buyers are numerous and purpose to pur-
chase an unlimited amonnt. The store
houses are full and the question Of sto-
rage is becoming serious one. Our mer-
chants are busy from morning till night,
and the cash sales exceed all former expe.

there is not one vacant tenement in the
