Rich Developments in Minnesota.

IC,Jrespomlcncc Of the Nep York Post.
Ar present the state railroad bonds are
being rapidly turned into currency, the au'
ditor receiving them at just such figures as
the parties swear they paid for them, which
thus far is ninety-hve to nlnety-seven cents
ON the dollar, the companies receiving III
pavment the currency issued upon them
This railroad money" as it is here termed,
passes readily among us thus far, and ex'
change, in small amounts, ON New York, can
he nrHeured with it; but for any large amount
Of gold or exchange it is utterly refused even
bv those who are the principal instruments
IN puttinp it into circulation. That this
currency IS TO be shurt-lived is readily ad.
mitted by all; but every person hopes to make
it answer their purposes, and be very careful
not TO have any of it on hand when the crash
comes.
There has been much excitement in some
quarters within the past few days, in conse-
ouence of certain Developments in relation
a. the manner in which our railroad affairs
are managed, and the appearance OF a new
class of operators on the stage.
A few DAYS since, while the Board of Di'
rectors of the Transit Company were in ses-
sion at ST. Paul Mrs, or Miss -, for
merly, if not at present, of Washington, ar
rived in town, and presented to the board a
claim against the Transit Company, of forty
three thousand dollars for services rendered
in getting the Land Grant bill through Con,
gress. The lady was informed that her
claim would not be recognised, whereupon
she employed counsel, who were proceeding
to sue out an injunction restraining the Gov,
ernor from issuing any more bonds to the
Transit Company, &c. She also exhibited
to her counsel a copy Of private contract
entered into between the directors OF that
road and the contractors. by which the CON
tractors agreed to pay back to certain d.,
rectors Gig hit thousand dollars per mile Of
the amount they received from the company
Learning the course the fair claimant was
taking, and that she was possessed OF such
important papers and secrets, the directors
came to the ''foot-lights' and paid her So,
600 in State railroad bonds.
In connection with the above stated facts, It
should be known that an extensive change
has recently been made III the direction OF
that company. seven directors resIgnlnS So as
10 give certain parties the entire control OF
the road. In consideration of their resign
ing simpy. the seven directors received two
thousand dollars in bonds, one-half in the
State railroad bonds and Onc-half in the
bonds Of the company. merely mention
the facts, leaving your readers to draw their
own conclusions. may add, however, that
our people are quite puzzled to understand
how the railroad companies are going "to
developc the resources Of the State by such
application of the bonds voted BY them to
build railroads with.

which ends with June. 1853. will show smaller
quantity Of brcadstufs exported from the United
