MY DEAR SiR:-For various reasons ]
desire you to notice my arrival in the Terri
tory, as soon as I get there, with such re-
marks respecting neg winters residence at
Washington, as you may deem proper; and
I wish you particularly to refer to two
measures, in which I was an active particle
pant. Iwould suggest something like this:
JUDGE COOPER.
We are glad to announce the arrival at
home by yesterdays steamer, of the Hon.
David Cooper, who has been absent at the
city Of Washington, since the meeting Of
Congress in December last. a5 81 9@if IN
To no man, always saving and excepting
our worthy Delegate, are the people q
Minnesota more indebted for the success OF
various measures before Congress, in which
they were deeply interested, than to him
whose arrival we have had the pleasure to
announce. And especially are the citizens
on the Reserve, on the west side of the river
indebted for the success Of the bill extending
to settlers thereon the right Of pre- emtion,
and to the citizens of Minneapolis the
benefits Of the act Of 1874, respecting the
right to enter town sites; for we are well
assured that to his influence. and that
which he was able to control through his
brother, the honorable Senator from Penn
sylvania, mainly depended the passage of
that bill through the Senate. In saving
this, and doing justice to our fellow towns
man, we are far from intimating a want of
zeal or influence on the part Of the Hon.
Il. NJ. Rice; but it was introduced i'll the
Senate near the close Of the Session, when
our Delegates presence was continually
in the House, and confined the fate Of this
measure to the gentleman whose name
heads this article. so 15Ss ''.'', 90
With respect to the great measure Of

North Western Railroad Company, it was
he alone, who had charge Of it, and it was

hat the resolution met with such an over
Rhelming defea1 in the Senate. That this
required no slight labor and influence, is
manifested from the feeling
