The Homestead Act,

As there seems to be quite misunder-
standing as to the bearing of the Home
stead act upon the rights of pre-emptors
under former acts, the following informa-
ton from the Commissioner of the Gene
raj Land Office, upon which all the de-
cisions of that office are based, is of i'm
portance. When party has made an
actual location by presumption or other
wise, in virtue Of q bounty land warrant,
he cannot lift the land warrant and enter
under the homestead act, because having
elected to satisfy bis claim to a specific
tract Of land by locating a warrant, he
must abide by his own act. A pre.emptor
who has filed declaratory patent, cannot
convert his presumption into a homestead
claim. A proviso in the sixth section of
the homestead law Of May 20, 1862, is
specific on this point, in declaring that all
persons have the right to make the ex-
change if they have filed their declaratory
patents prior to the passage of the act Of
May 20, 1862. Where the parties have
fled since the passage of the law, they
have no right to make the exchange. and
consequently when any abandons his pre-
emption, the land is freely open to the
first homestead settler that may apply it.

the former, however, we thought it best to let
them know we were not quite asleep, and sent
two replies from howitzer we had on board.
really should not have thought this Incl
dent worth mentioning, if it were not more
than likely that it will be coming to you some
day from Richmond, as great Confederate
victory; or if the correspondents here of Sc
cesh New York papers would not be sure Of
making 1t test to prove that the rebels are in
undlsputed possession of the entire river.
The West and Northwest have fought
valiantly, as General Logan said they
would do, to "hew their way to the Gulf, -
and now that they have accomplished the
feat, it is no more than just that the world
should know the exact measure of their
success. The dispatches of Generals Grant
and Banks, establish the fact beyond dis
pute that the Mississippi river is again
open, and free to the great carrying trade
of the West.

We were sorry to notice the presence
of Judge N. M. DONALDSON. of the Third
Judicial District, in the Republican Con-
vention on Wednesday, as delegate from
Steele county. Holding an important po-
sition in the judiciary system of our State,
there was manifest improperly, which
was freely admitted on all sides, of his
participating in political convention. He
had no business there, and we hope never
to see judge in such position again. A
late issue of the New York Times, speak
ing of the shocking demon ali cation of the
public mind with regard to judicial purity,
which little over ten years of the elective
system has wrought among us, has some
remarks upon this topic, in which we fully
agree: "But we cannot help earnestly
calling the attention of those of the judi
ciary, for whom the Judges Office is still
something better and more sacred than
the reward Of party services, to the fact
that party spirit is daily becoming bitterer
and more intense, and is threatening us
with such violence and disorder that, I'M
less we can keep it from invading the
Courts, we are adrift upon a stream of which
no man knows the issue. II is no,D more
than eoer tie duty Of tie Judges TO abstain
from party demonstrations Of any kind
-eiMer IN speech, or writing, or be-
horior. They we're always, in spite of
their frequency of late years, highly unbe
coming; they are now dangerous.

ALEXANDER RAMsEY's total lax deliu-
Quency, as shown by this list....... 1.OSS.3S
Seven Thousand and Eighty-Six Dollars
and Thirty-Eight Gents, then, was the
amount due to the people by ALEXANDER
RAMSEY, in his capacity Of taxpayer, for
the County of Ramsey alone, on the 10th
of June last. What part, if any, of this
tax debt he has since lie Undated, we do not
know nor is it essential to our purpose
That purpose is, to hold him,-and all like
him, who get their living out OF the public,
and refuse or delay to meet their tax obi
gations,-up to public contempt. The
honest tax payers are saddled with double
burthens through the delinquencies of rich
ax-shirkers, like ALEXANDER RAMSEY; and
they are entitled to know who are such,
and to have the chance, which we have
here given them, of perusing the record in
detail, and at their leisure.
When we come across another man of
RAMsEY's wealth, who, like him, lives off
the public, and, like him, shirks his tax
obligations, we shall spread his record out
to public view and public scorn, as we
have done with ALEXANDER RAMSEY,
to-day.
