.More Abuse OF Republicans.''

| ssMore Abuse OF Republ1cans."
The 7smesof yesterday morning, under tn
above head, copies the following extract from
the Central (Farribault) Repu6licasc,- which
had been re-published in the MINNEsorIAN:
! .:"If the latter company THE Minneapolis ant
Cedar Valley, can, even now, rid themselves o
the Gubernatorial and Senatorial aspirants in thei
Board of Directors, and gettheir places filed with
men whose business capacity and brains are pro
portionate to their aspirations weshal have strong
hopes of their final success" --~r-s az -
The Times then says that this reference to
'Gubernatorial and Senatorial aspirants' is
unquestionably fling at Mr.. NORTH, the
President Of the Company-it cannot mean
any one else To show how hard run that
paper is to make out case Of abuse against
the MINNEsoTIAN of any leading Republican
We re-publish the entire article from which
the above portion Of a sentence was TAKEN
We must confess that it never entered our
head that Mr.. NORTH was an aspirant for Ell
Their of those honors; and we are positively
certain that if his name "has been freely
mentioned by many" in that connection, it
has not been by his solicitation. The pub
Usher of private letters well knew that his
friend and endorser, H. H. SIBLEY, is now and
ever has been an active member of that Board
of Directors; that FRANKLIN STEELE and
Gen. SHIELDS are also members, the latter
having been its President-and that the refer
ence to Senatorial and Gubernatorial aspi-
rants'' was intended for, and can be construed
only to mean them. If it is doubted, read the
entire article and see:

We learn that the mammoth arrangement
His Royal Highness, Henry the First, had
concluded in New York, for all the Minneso
Ia Land Grant and State Loan Railroad Com
panies, has failed, the predictions Of his home
organ to the contrary Notwithstanding, to
meet their cordial appreciation; the compa-
MES have resolved that each company shall
hereafter stand upon its own merits
That ia Just what we believe they should
have done in the first place and if they
had paid more attention to their own Pc
cuniary interests, and less to the polical inter-
ests of vain glorious Mr.. Sibley, we believe it
would have been far better for all the compa-
MES, for the NJ. & G. V. particularly. If the
latter company can even now, rid themselves
of the Gubernatorial and Senatorial aspirants
IN their board of directors, and get their places
filled with men whose business capacity and
brains are proportionated to their aspirations,
we shall have strong hopes of their final sue
cess: but so long as Mr.. Sibley continues to
act in the double capacity of the agent Of the
State, as its Governor, dealing with the rail-
road companies, and as a principal director in
company, its dealings with the State and peo-
pie, our hopes of their success are not very
sanguine. Gov. Sibley dealing for the State,
with director Sibley for the railroad compa-
MES, don't look we'll to strangers, whatever
Minnesotians may think of it. Political am
bition and vanity are poor substitutes for
brains.
From the best information we can get, the
companies, SO far as negotiating their bonds is
concerned, stand, after Gov. Sibley's three
months spread eagle splurge in Wall Street,
just about where they did the first of Decem-
