r. The Chicago Journal thinks the Presi-
dent instead of answering the letter of Horace
Greeley, should have issued warrant for his
arrest as public enemy, and sent him to Fort
Warren 1t say that if such men as the edit
or of the Dubuque Herald are arrested, it shall
''insist most honestly. periodically and Loyalty
that men like Horace Greeley and Wendell
Phillips" should "receive like treatment" We
think it is we'll for the country that we have
man for President Of such broad common
sense, and honesty ofpurpose as ABRAHAM LIN.
COLIN. If such counsels as many give who call
themselves the friends of the administration and
the Union, were to prevail, we certainly should
have very little hope for the final success of the
Union cause. The mind that can perceive no
difference between the loyalty of Horace Greeley
and the treason of the late editor of the Dubuque
Herald, must have the ideas of right and wrong
strangely mixed up and confused.
The number who, with Mr.. Greeley, believe
the time has arrived. when no more tenderness
and consideration should be shown to rebels
and traitors in arms; and that the laws
of Congress should be enforced by those
elected to execute and enforce them, is, fortu-
nately, very large, throughout the loyal States
1t is from that number that the six hundred
thousand men, who are now focking to the
camps and the field have been mainly drawn E.
We venture 10 affirm that the editor of the
Chicago Journal, might look through all the
regiments of his own State, and then through
those of this State, and never find a volunteer
in the ranks, who would sympathize with, or
approve the reasonable sentiments of the
Dubuque Herald or the Chicago Times, while
he would at the same time find nearly as few
who wonld not sanction and heartily approve
the loyal sentiments of this letter of Horace
Greeley to the President. We have looked in
vain through the writings of Horace Greeley
FOR the least evidence of treason to the cause
of the Union and the constitution. We have
looked in vain for the first intimation that he
desired the success of the rebel armies, or the
defeat of the Union arms under any circum~
stances, whatever. Why then should his name
be coupled with that of conceded and convict
ed traitor, as worthy the same treatment? If
the counsels OF the Journal should prevail he
would have to arrest the entire army of the
Union.

Minority REPoRT.-We have rece lived the
"Minority Report of the Joint Select Committee
appointed to investigate affairs pertaining to the
raising and equipping of troops and the DISPOSE
ton of War Bonds" This report puts an en-.
tire different face upon all the transactions of our
State officers in reference to the War Fund during
the first year of the war, from that given by the
majority of the Committee in their report. In
conclusion, the Committee say:
In concluding this report the undersigned sub
NIT, that the investigating committee examined
into the negotiation of the war bonds, and discov.
cred no facts not previously given to the public,
and no evidence rejecting in the slightest degree
upon the integrity or capacity of the loan
commissioners but the contrary, the TN
dersigned believe that in the sale OF such bonds to
the citizens OF our own state, as large, if not a
greater sum was realized than could have been
obtained in any eastern market and in its Incl
dental results, in preventing financial panics, gem
eral commercial disaster, and loss on the home
currency then in circulation, has proved of meal
culabe benefit to the state.
On the several departments coming within the
range of this inquiry, the undersigned say: That
the Quartermaster General and COmmissary Gen
eral, through whose departments passed nearly
all of the transactions requiring the disbursement
of money, were both before the committee and un.
derwent a long, and careful examination, which
resulted in complete vindication of their Capa-
city and integrity. Indeed, it is but just to say
| that their offices were administered without show
of favort SIN; carefully prudently, and econo1n
| cally. The Adjutant General, Paymaster Gem
eral, and Surgeon General were not cited and did
not appear before the committee; but no evi.
| dence discovered upon which the UNDER
signed could infer that the duties of their respec,
tive offices otherwise than properly dis
| charged,
Ex-Governor Randall, upon whom more than
all others, devolyed the duty of recruiting and
| forwarding many thousands of our fellow citizens
| to the seat of war, was before the committee
| His testimony is herewith submitted. Six months
pf labor has tailed to iInplicate him in single
dshonorable transaction in the discharge of the
duties of his Office. That he has committed err.
| rors, is true; what man could avoid it? But in
| all the charges of waste and extravaganza pre-
tered against him, with but tri1ng exception the
volunteers of our state were benefited. The in.
crease of salaries of the home officers, the syst I'm

Secession Sympn thisers Responsible for
she Indian Ma3sacres in Minnesota

| The st. Paul Press, in long article, show
quite conclusively that the Indian outbreak Oh
the Minnesota border was not occasioned by
any neglect on the part of the Government OF
its agents 80 pay the annuities in coin, as has
been charged but that the savages have been
tempered with and influenced to the late bloody
atrocities by wicked and traitorous white
men who are in sympathy with the Southern
secessionists.
We hope that the guilty conspirators may be
ferreted out and arrested in order that proper
punishment may be melted out to them as ter
rible retribution for SO horried a crime
Atrocious and barbarous as have been some of
the exhibitions of heartlessness on the part of
the rebels at the South, nothing that has yet
been developed equals the fendishness of this
savage raid in Minnesota-this bloody, cruel
and ferocious onslaught, with gun, knife and
tomahawk, upon defenseless and unoffending
women and children.
The fact that sympathizers with the rebellion
at the North have, as appears, been the prime
movers to incite these feudish outrages, only
proves to us that there is an element among us
small though !: DE, that needs careful watching
and prompt attention whenever discovered

Parties from Minnesota liver reached here

brethren in atrocities. Mr.. Premier, an inter>

ASSEMBLY DISTRICT CoNvENTIoN.-Itw will
be noticed that the County Committee have
called convention of this Assembly District,
TOR the purpose of choosing Delegates, to at
tend the Congressional Convention to be held
at Racine, on the 18th of September. 1t will
therefore be incumbent on the Town and Ward
Committees to see that caucuses are called fol
the appointment of delegates. Let all loya
men attend these caucuses and see to the ap =
pointing of delegates who will carry out thei1
views.
All loyal men are invited to unite in the cleo.
ton of delegates for this convention. 1t seems
to us that there is very unanimous feeling
among the people of the county, in favor of the
most energetic prosecution of the war, and a
hing out of the rebellion in the shortest
possible time. If that be the case, We can sec
no reason why there should be any division OF
loyal men into parties this Fall Let us have
in Kenosha county, but two parties-the one
including all patriotic, loyal Union loving citi.
lzens, who are determined to stand by the con
sttution and government, in its struggle with
treason and rebellion, the other including only
hose who are so welded to party, that they
can see nothing else worthy of preservation
and those who would rather see the Union
Constitution, Country and all go to destruction
than abate one jOt or title of their devotion tC
Slavery, or their senseless hate of abolition
These are really, the only two parties now il
practice and the sooner they are made so in tie
ory, the less danger will there be of dissensio1
party of Patriots.
