The Mineral Point Tribune says, that a clergy man
at MuScoda deserted his bed aad partner recently
and deliberately climbed into the window Of his neigh
bor's dwelling while tho ssworser" half of the house
was away from home. This unfortunate exhibition of
slsepwalkng or climbing got to the knowledge Of the
public and the minister being unable to satisfy tho
unphiiosophcal Muscodas that man is not account
able for what he does when asleep, he cooly left the
country. Such occurrences this, only prove that
the clergy are meral-we notice their dcrclictions
more readily because expect greater purity Of con-
duct in mon Of their professions. ministerial posi-
ton Is one Of grave responsibility in neigh borhood

MinMcsOta.

Minncsota. u.a.Es a.Gr
Last week We stated that the Republicans
of this State carried the late election by pro.
fession of "Repudiation." Since that we have
learned that the statement was not correct
We we're nisled by the articles of II. d. HUFF,
Esq a prominent Republican leader, of Wi
mona, who opposed his larty State ticket on
that ground. We now learn that the Demo-
cratic party, IN their State Convention, passed
resolution indorsing the "prompt payment"
of the interest on the State Bonds for Railroad
purposes, and that the Republicans denied the
binding obligation of the State to pay the in
terest at all. They plead that there was Leg.
islatiye provision, at the time the act was pass
ed authorizing the issue. that the Railroad Com
panies, and not the State, should provide for
the interest, and the State was only pledged to
the liquidation Of tho principal at the end of
twenty years. This drawback in the payment
Of the interest was the cause Of their failure
to negotiate the Bonds, and the consequence
is that they are hawked about the State at
twenty-five to thirty five cents Oh the dollar
An agreement to pay the interest promptly,
would have advanced the bonds to par, and
would have Injured to the benefit of sharpers
who picked them up at one fourth their value.
Such fool resolution On the part of the Min
ncsota Democrats ought to have beaten them
10000 votes. ri
1t may be well to state that Mr.. Huff was
heavy bondholder, and Of course was desirous
to commit the State to policy that would have
benefited him pecuniarily. Facts are facts,
and We always give them when they can be got
at.
