We have just had the pleasure Of perus-
ing the speech of Gen Todd, the Delegate
from Dakota-made in the House of Re.
personalities, on the question Of admittin 9
Hon. William Jayne, of Springfield, ILL.,,
as sitting member pending the contest
for the Delegatesbip of the Territory. The
speech is characteristic of the man-re.
ple,e with sound sense, taste and truthful
ness. As there was no effort for display,
so there was nothing to offend the most
fastidious. 1t was simple detail Of the
few facts relative to the question at issue,
aud told in the strai ght forward manly
way in which the General does everything.
Whatever may be the final de,ermina-
ton Of this question, in which the honest
voters Of Dakota have so great stake
all who are in any degree familiar
with the facts, will unhesiia,ingly pro.
nounce in favor of Todd.
We shall abstain from eli comment up.
on what will be the probable decision of
the House, or the motive which may
actuate its members, until we can do so
with full knowledge of all the facts.
Now that tLis contest has reduced itself
TO q question Of merits, the only one we
apprehsnd which the House will be called
upon to consider, after the testimony is
before it. will be, whether the largest
number Of votes, Or the fac. of belonging
TO the dominat party, shall control in de.
termlning the right to seat.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD. IOWA,
WISCONSIN,, MINNESOTA AND
DAKOTA. -

There should be an understanding and
active cooperation between the citizens
Of Northern Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and Dakota, as to the early construction
Of that line Of the Pacific Railroad com.
mencing at Sioux City TO this point all
our interests converge aud we should act
together as partners in the same grand
enterprise. Southern Iowa is identified
with other competing lines and therefore
the citizens Of Northern Iowa must not
loox for help to our State authorities or
the Senators and Representatives, in Con-
gress from the South part Of the State
But the Representatives from Northern
Iowa and those from Wisconsin, and Min.
nesota, and the Delegate from Dakota in
Congress should at once act in the matter
and should act together. ~*
The Railroad from Milwaukee to this
City, and from here to Sioux City will in
year or two be completed, and that from
St. Paul to Cedar Falls will be about as
soon in operation, thus connecting the
heart Of Minnesota and Wisconsin direct.
" with this Road. Their citizens and
Representatives should therefore Join
hands TO give as strong an impetus to tho
Sioux City line Of the Pacific Railroad as
they possibly can. No time should be
lost in this effort.
We copy the above from, the Dubuqe
Times. The subject is replete with inter.
est FIR all on the line of the Dubuque and
Sioux City Railroad, and We are glad that
the press at the Eastern terminus of the
route have come to realize the advantages
of the early construction Of the road. The
parties favorable effected oy its vigorous
prosecution are not confined to Dubuque
on the East nor to Sioux City on the
West. Its benefits will be manifest as far
as Chicago in the one direction while the
whole Northwest will be opened up by it
in the other
That the shortes. and most feasible
route to the mineral regions of Idaho,
from the East, is through Dubuque, Sioux
City aud Dakota, there can b, no doubt,
even with the present facilities Of travel,
and hence any extension Of Railroad on
this route would be so much additional
attraction to emigrants to the Northwest.
