Col. STEVENS, of the Glencoe Register
says the warehouses on the Minnesota river
are full of grain, and that the amount of
wheat that will be shipped from the Min
nesota valley in the spring, will astonish the
people on the Mississippi.
WILD Cats have been caught this winter
in many portions of the State. The cold
and deep snow has driven them to the poul-
try yards for sustenance. Muffs are made
from the fur of these animals.
The Register hopes that the Legislature
will bring portion of the school lands into
market this year.
The country papers are, all advertising
that they will take wood for subscriptions.
Do they object to the cash

of constitutional sanction of it's privileges and
franchi es, thereby placing them beyond the
reach of legislative action and control.
Resolved, That the preservation as an entire
ty of each of the Land Grant lines of Railroads
as defined by the Act of Congress of March Sd,
to execute the trust created by said Act OF
Congress is required by the terms of the Grant,
the plighted faith of the State and justice to all
localities and such legislation as will promote
the formation of new line of road from de-
tached and fragmentary portions of the old
lines under the control of any Company and
will Denote the lands, and dispose of the fran
chises appertainng to each ofthe several roads
exclusively in aid of its construction, will best
subserve this and secure the ultimate compile
ton of all of said roads.
Resolved, That the construction of our Land
Grant Railroads should not be delayed or made
in any manner dependent upon an attempted
settlement Of the State Railroad Bonds, but
each question should be considered and deter
mined upon its own merits.
Resolved, That regarding donation Of the
present partly finished road beds and the
sufficient to secure the building of all our land
grant lines of Railroads as fast and as soon
as the business wants of the country demand,
sound and prudent policy requires that the
State should not resort to taxation, loan OF
it's credit nor to any other of its sources of its
revenue present or prospective, to aid the con-
structiOn of these roads.
Resolved, That in any act proposing to
transfer to any parties, properties and fran.
chises appertaining to the several Land Grant
lines Of Railroad, or either of them, the inter-
ests of the people should be fully guarded and
protected by such provisions as will guarantee
and secure the State against any loss or unreal
sonable delay in the construction of said roads.
The reports, bill and resolutions were Or
dered to be printed, and in few days the
whole subject will be fairly before the Sen.
ate. There is so much diversity of opinion
in both branches of the Legislature that we
are afraid that no settlement of the Rail-
road question will be made at this session.

The Anderson Case i'm Canada.

The issue of writ of habeas corpus, in
the case of AND IRsoN, the negro murderer,
by the English Courts, is denounced by the
Canadians as an invasion of colonial fran
chises, which must be resisted. The Toronto
Leader of the 3lst ult., has very decided
article on the subject, from which we quote
the following:
The issue of a writ of habeas corpus in the
case of Anderson by the English court of
Queens bench has fallen like bomshell upon
this country. Probably no similar attempt has
been made within our day to encroach upon
the liberties of a free people. Canada, great
selfgoverning community, with commercial
tonnage of more than twice as large as that of
France, is compared to the Isle of Jersey, and
the Isle of Man, neither of which has popu-
lation larger than that of Toronto. The prece
dents quoted are well enough for crown COL
only; but it so happens that Canada possesses
court of Queens bench. expressly possessed
of powers coordinate with those of the court
of Queens bench in England; and if that court
can be ignored and set aside by an imperial
tribunal, where is the guarantee for our iber.
ties? If the judicial branch of our government
may be trenched upon in this summary manner,
who is to guarantee the executive and legisla-
tive functions of the government from invasion?
mind as the report of this extraordinary case is
read. Canada has been vested with
all the attributes of local self-government, leg
islative, executive and judicial; and she will
hardly now surrender one of those rights in
obedience to a writ from an English court,
which seeks to usurp jurisdiction that belongs
to our own tribunals. In spite of the universal
sympathy for Anderson, we do not believe that
this community is prepared to submit to this
invasion of its franchise. If it be desirable to
take the case before an English tribunal, there
is way of doing it as final appeal. For this
our laws provide, and in this way we suspect,
if done at all, the matter will have to be man
aged.
One of the Canadian Courts has issued
writ of habeas corpus for ANDERSON, and has
charge of the prisoner, thus bringing up at
once the question of the superior jurisdiction
of the English Courts.
