1SDEMN1TY.-Durins our Territorial
existence, the Legislature passed an anti
liquor law. In executing it, George F.
Brott, as sheriff of Ramsey County, seized
and destroyed liquors. Suit was brought
against him, the law was pronounced un-
constitutional, and he mulcted in $1,000
damages. This past winter he brought in
his claim to indemnity, but for some, to us
unaccountab]e cause, it was not allowed.
Justice certainly demands that the State
should bear the responsibility of its own
Legislation; and every instinct Of justice
protests against an executive officer being
held responsible for the Legislative mistakes
Of the peoples representatives. We trust
Mr.. Brott will not abandon his claim, for
it will certainly bo allowed by the sober
second thought It would be grossly un.
just iiftit va, not.

Messrs. Tmnbull aud Kinkead waiting
here to 60 up to Alexandria, were left over
until Tuesday. Kinkead proposes to erect
a new hotel at Alexandria, as there is 10
prospect of large increase in the Red Nv
er travel this season; and last year the ac.
recommendations were found quite insufficient.
Mark sLedbeater, our good Samaritan, .has
gone with MrtSpencer, St. Cloud man,
to keep the new hotel At Breckiprid:yc;-
The organization Of Dakota must induce
travel to that territory, and as mnuahsthe
largest settlement in it is St. Joseph, :ly-
ing north Of Breckenridge, the travel, to
that point will go by this route, and our
hotel and stage .proprlctors may expect a
brisk time.

Lieut.. Gov. Donncllv.

Resolutions Of thanks to presiding off,
GERS of Legislative bodies are usually con-
sidercd as mere matters of form, but there
was so much sincerity and feeling exhibit
ed upon that introduced by Senator Nc
ROBERTS. Of Houston County, in relation
to the official and personal intercourse: of
the members Of the Senate with the Pres
ident, Lieutenant Governor DoNNELLY,
that we should feel that we were remiss
In duty if We omitted to publicly endorse
such an unanimous and hearty recognition
Of his ability and impartiality as presid-
ing officer, and Of his kindness and court
esy to all, irrespective of party, with whom
he had been associated during the session.
His knowledge Of parliamentary law is
extensive and exact, and his facility of
readily applying it to all questions as they
arise, is rarely equalled. His readiness
always to impart the reasons for parlia-
mentary rule, or his construction of it, leads
every member Of the body over which he
presides to feel that he is governed by the
lao, rather than by the authority Of the
the oticer-hence, during the whole of the
session, there were no appeals from his
decision.-M. Paul Pioneer, Democratic.
We neglected yesterday to allude to
the action Of the two Houses, of the Leg
.isluture before adjournment in regard to
the passage of complimentary resolutions
to their respective presiding officers. In
the Senate, the action was unanimous, and
embodied nothing that did not come d.
rectly from the, heart of every Senator.
Lieut.. Governor Donnelly, by his urbanity,
high-toned gentlemanly department and
thorough knowledge of parliamentary law,
deserved justly the testimonial the>Senate
gave him-nothing less most certainly
Tho resolution came from Mr.. McRoberts,
the Democratic Senator from Houston Co.,
and that gentleman certainly only reflect
ed the general feelings Of the community,
as well as the Senate, in framing his SEN
timcpts in the language ho did.-&. Paul

The Lecture.

Mr.. Andrew s lecture on Couture" was
we'll attended Notwithstanding the weather
was very unfavorable. The subject was
handled in very able and especially prac-
teal manner. 1t is so good that we hope
to publish it entire and shall leave it to
speak for itself except in the panner.
Mr.. Andrews delivery is not SO good
as it oughtto be. He has habit Of throw
ing his head forward with sudden jerk
ing motion; and in his most important
sentences he generally makes full pause
just before the last word, giving this one
word between two full pauses. Both these
habits are decided blemishes in his oratory.
Then, he lacks the appearance Of confidence
in himself. There is timidity, or hest
tation in his manner which extends clear
through his lecture and divides ones at
tention between thespeakcr and the speech.
We donot advocate an air Of self.impor-
tancc. This is worse than difidence; but
speaker should have sufficient confidence
in himself to forget himself, and thrust
that individual out Of SIGHT until his work
is done. Mr.. a. has no reason for hes
itation, for his lectures and speeches are
always good, always valuable, and always
well received.

The Dog Train.

A-aS' VEGA, ~ OatoeT, 1aInllI0r!y known
as Gov. Barber, Of Dakota, arrived in St.
Cloud in dog train. He had travelled
from Selkirk, 500 miles, and went on to
St. Paul. He staid one night at tho Stcarns
House, and in the morning, after hitching
up his team, drove over to our Office and
took svlf and daughter in for an airing ;
drove around to let us have the distinction
Of having ridden in dog train, then with
three young ladies, started back for the
Stcarns House. The concern came to the
edge Of a sled track and tipped over, when
the Gov. took hold Of the sledge and right
ed it without disturbing its laughing load,
then stepping on behind drove off with a
flourish and on fast trot. The vehicle
is very thin board SPLIT from an oak log.
It is about as wide as chair seat and
eight feet long 1t is bent upward in front
like sled runner and lies fiat on the
snow. Usually this is all, but our Gov,
with an eye to elegance and creature COM
fort, had a cutter sled built on his, of parch.
ment, with a back high enough to support
the shoulders, scroll shaped sides and a
front curling over. The parchment is sup
ported by oak. slips as thick as mans
finger. It is staunch and firm, and yet
the whole affair, we are told, weighs little
over ten pounds. In this little bed the
traveller sits with his buffalo robes and
blankets, while on the fiat board which ex-
tends behind him is strapped his pemican
and other provisions. Before him are his
four dogs, hitched between two long traces
Of raw hide one before the other. The
traveller has whip long enough to reach
the foremost, and usually keeps up Wig
orous fogging and shouting. The crea-
lures will travel from thirty to sixty miles
per day and keep on day after day. Their
allowance is one pound Of pelnican each
daily. But often the traveller who goes
we'll armed succeeds in shooting game and
thus furnishes food for his steeds. The
dogs are Of the wolf species, ugly, treach.
erous boxing brutes, who would no doub,
eat their master if they got chance. A
turn out Of this kind is natural and arti-
fetal curiosity combined. The Gov, as
dog train travellers usually are, was in the
spirit Of it; and with his mocasins, fringed
leygings, red sash. fur coat and cap, long
hair and beard, looked like combination
of polar bear aud Indian. AS the sleigh.
ing is still good, we presume he will ge,
back to Selkirk with his dogs.
