A Twenty Mile Race in Cutters.

The sporting men of St. Paul have
been considerably agitated for few
days past i'm race which was adver.
tised, between Ben. Hazen's roam horse
and Ralph Taylor's grey mare, from
that city to Hudson, Wisconsin, dis.
tance of twenty miles. Bets were
freely made, and the amount of money
which changed hands must have been
considerable. The race came off ac-
cording to programme, on Saturday
week, and resulted in the victory for
Ben. Hazen's roam, which made it in
one hour and twenty-four minutes.
They were driven in cutters, and as a
high wind prevailed at the time, the
roads were considerably obstructed by
drifted snow which caused some de-
lay. The time is considered first rate,
and Hazcn's friends are, of course, in
ecstasies at the result. The rigs
horse, cutter and harness-were each
valued at five hundred dollars, and the
winner takes them both.

Arrest of the Pirate Semmes.

The Montgomery, Alabama, Mail, un-
der date of Dec. 10. has the following
in regard to the arrest Of Scmmes, the
traitor and pirate: -,
"The arrest of General Raphael j.
Semmes, better known as commander
of the Alabama. has struck the people
with astonishment and regret. II is
impossible to form an opinion as to
the reasons which influenced the au.
thorities in making the arrest. 1t is
true that Semmes inflicted material
damage to New England shipping. but
certainly not greater damage than our
Generals inflicted upon land. He
fought under a regular commission,
with ell the rights which properly at.
tach to beiIigerent. and did not avoid
a fair battle in an open sea Like a
brave soldier. he fought his ship until

Gen. Grant was bold enough TO urge

braced Commander Semmes, at that
time Brigadier General in the Vir

arrest is merely for the purpose Of sc

are legitimate matters Of Legislative
action and inquiry. Upon them de
pends, in great degree, the early de-
velopment of the untold wealth of our
prairie lands, more especially in the
northern portion Of our State and the
question very naturally comes home to
our people, Shall the beneficent purpose
for which vast slice of the public do
main has been donated be rendered
nugatory by diverting this great arte-
ry for inland commerce from it's prop
er and natural route?
From our standpoint, the McGrcgor
Western Railroad has debarred itself
from any claim to the Land Grant,
and we hope to see the matter thor
oughly sifted during the session of the
present Legislature. --New HaHpton
Courier.
We think our New Hampton con-
temporary a little too fast in its stric-
tures upon the McGregor Western
Railroad Company. This Company
has not yet accepted the grant. The
lands referred to were granted by Con-
gress to the State of Iowa, and no dis
position has yet been made of them by
the State. During the present session
of the General Assembly these lands
will undoubtedly be granted, with GER
tain conditions, to some company for
the purpose Of constructing "a rail-
road from point at or near the foot
of Main street, South McGregor, in a
westerly direction, by the most practi-
cable route, on or near. the forty-third
parallel Of north latitude" &c. We
quote the language Of the grant. If
the road is not built on the ADD paral-
lei, or as near as practicable, then the
Governor cannot, and, if an honorable
man, ,cN not, certify that patents to the
lands should bo issued. Section of
the Act of Congress provides that,
When the Governor Of said State
shall certify to the Secretary of the In
terror that any section of ten consecu-
tive miles of said road is completed in
a good, substantial, and workmanlike
manner as first class railroad, then
the Secretary Of the Interior shall issue
to the State, patents for one hundred
sections of land for the benefit of the
road having completed the ten conscc-
utive miles as aforesaid" 1t is also
!" Prorided, That il the said McGregor
Western Railroad Company or assigns,
shall fail to complete at least twenty
miles Of its said road during each and
every year from the date Of its acceptance
of the grant provided for in this act,
then the State may resume said grant,
and dispose Of the same so as to secure
the completion Of a road on said line
and upon such terms, within such time
as the State shall determine" IL the
road is not completed within ten years
the lands not patented revert to the
State of Iowa /; and if not completed
within FIVE years thereafter they revert
to the United States.
No doubt several companies will APP
ply for this grant, but we judge that
the McGregor Western Il. Il. Compa-
ny will have the preference. 1t is
very important that the act of the
Legislature should make such careful
provision that no company can obtain
possession of the lands unless they
build the road on the line indicated,
viz: the 43d parallel, as near as prae-
ticabL.
