THE DONNELLY.WAsHB CON-
TROVERSY.

Congressional dispatches say that on
Saturday afternoon, Mr.. Donnelly
sent to the Clerks desk of the House
Of Representatives the letter Of Mr.. E.
B. Washburne, published in our las,
weeks issue to be read. He thereupon
proceeded to review the substance of it.,
charging premeditated, willful faIsehood
on its writer, and e1coriating Mr.
Washburne with great severity. Mr.
W. replied in language equally harsh,
reiterating his charges. At the close,
Mr.. Window, Of this State, gave notice
that he should introduce a resolution Of
censure Of Mr.. Washburne, but at the
request Of Mr.. Donnelly modified it to
. motion for q committee to investi-
gate the charges made against Mr.. D.
10 the published letter Of Washburne.
So tho matter now rests.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD.

No question Of National improvement
and development so deeply interests the
people Of Minnesota as does that Of the
construction Of this great thoroughfare
at an early day. 1t would not only
double and treble the wealth and pop
ulation of this State within q few years.
but would also settle and build up in
to States the Territories to the west
ward. These would all contribute to
the wealth of Minnesota.
The recent surveys made under the
supervision of Col. johnson dcmonstra-
ted that the Northern route presented
points Of feasibility which could be
claimed for neither of the other q.
The country is more favorable for the
construction Of the road bed, there is
less snow, and the mountain open pass
es much less difficult than those in the
Central route. And, further, a. pro-
ductive soil most of the way on either
side would soon attract immigration and
thus create heavy local trade.
The recent reports laid before Con-
gress by the Company and its friends
those who have given the matter most
attention appeal strongly to that BODY
for the aid necessary to the carrying
out Of 50 great project. 1t is work
which can justly ask national assistance,
and can claim the same subsidy that
has been granted to the route now un-
der process Of construction.
We feel how important the construc-
ton OF this line is to the Northern por-
ton of this State, and especially to this
city, that we shall continue, in every
way, to urge it upon the attention Of
Congress. From time to time we will
give additional facts going to show the
entire feasibility of the Northern Pa.
ci6c route, and demonstrating its claims
for national aid.

In another column our Western cor.
respondent gives useful hints to such
as may wish to 60 West. 1t is conoed-
ed that immigration thither will be
larger this Spring than ever before, and
it is likely to DO equalled for several
coming years. 1t is hardly fair to as
sumo that the West is no longer this
side Of the Omaha, for the term hith-
erto has applied to any region west Of
tho Alleghanies where Government
land is open to the pioneer; and there
are millions Of acres Of good farming
land this side Of the Missouri River
Within few years, or since the COM
mencemcnt of the Rebellion, additional
attraction has been given to Govern
ment land by reason Of the Homestead
l..w, which secures to each head of
family quarter.section, or 100 acres,
on the condition Of Eve years settle
meut and the payment Of Office fees Of
about $14. During the war, compare
lively few had made claims, but with
each year since there have been in
creasing entries. Although such land
lies remote from main routes of traffic
and travel, and the settlers endure
many privations, particularly if they
are poor, as so many Of them are, still,
in most places, owing to the fertility of
the soil and the energy Of the people,
villages and towns have arisen, and
darkness ana doubt have been succeed
ed by prosperity.
Not all who 60 West desire either to
seek the mining regions or to pushs far
westward as to be subject to the pecu-
liar climate of the interior-that is, 800
miles west Of Omaha, where more or
less irrigation is required to secure the
accustomed harvest. Such as are not
quite so venturesome rs to push out to
the plains and the mountains this
Spring, will find Government land in
Northern Michigan, around Saginaw
and Grand Traverse Bays, both reach.
ed by steamers from Buffalo; and in
Wisconsin, with starting point at Eau
Claire, La Crosse and Bayfield,; in
Minnesota, from Taylor's Falls, St
Cloud and Winnebago; 10 Iowa, from
Fort Dodge, Sioux City and Council
Bluffs and in Missouri, from 1rontor
and Bonneville. In Kansas, south O
the Omaha branch Of the Pacific Rail
road, land Is to be found, south Of Law
renee and west of Atchinson.

following excellent and well-deserved
hit on a recent magazine article:
"Personalism" is counterpart to a

written in the vernacular.
There are other writer's, besides Walt

THE OBSCENE DEMOCRACY.

From the N: ?. Tribune.
The bill to suppress the issue of OBJ
scene books, papers. and pictures has
been adopted by the Legislature. It il
most discreditab'e to human nature
that any man can be found to oppose
an enactment of this character yet
such man was found in the person of
Patrick Ready, the representative Of
the Democratic party from the Sd
Districtot Kings County. After the bill
had passed the Assembly. Mr.. Ready
tried to;get reconsideration of tho
vote, and to do so, he argued that q
law against obscene publications vea an
attack upon the Democratic press. The
motion to reconsider failed, but not
until Mr.. Ready had fully maintained
his position. And he was right. The
suppression Of obscene, immoral, and
disgusting literature would strike out
Of existence half the Democratic jour
nails in the country. Next to the pro-
kibition of liquor.selling, it would be
the hardest blow that could be given to
the party. The most widely circulated
and most admired Democratic paper
now printed is the !obscens and BIAS
phemous La Crosse Democrat. That
paper, more than any other, awakes the
sympathies, and expresses the opinions
OF the party. It has heaped upon the
memory of Abraham Lincoln outrage
that would be tolerated in no other
country undor heaven it pursues
Christian associations and temperance
societies With the venom of a thousand
copperheads rolled into one; it SCOTS at
religioo, mocks at virtue, defies God,
and voids its filthy rheum upon every.
thing that good men respect or hold
sacred. Under the Law for the suppress
sion Of obscene prints, this paper can.
not openly circulate 10 New York. Of

I Mr. REsPAss said that repeated efforts had
been made to prevent Mr.. Avery from taking

= had been shown why he was not entitled TO-
it. Mr. Avery himselfhad denied that he had
. taken any oath to support the Constitution
4 of the United States, and no evidence had
!, been shown to prove that he did. He pro-
. tested against this treatment OF Mr. Avery. =
Mr.. BLYTHE said the Senate had declared
| by its vote that Avery was banned by the
Howard Amendment. . Mr.. Avery admitted
! that he had held the office of County Solicit
tor before and during the war; The law
expressly declared that the oath to support
the Constitution of the United States should
be taken. and if Mr. Avery chad not taken
that, oath, he had violated the laws of North
Carolina. The law was conclusive upon
that point. 4 He considered that the Senate
had acted rightly and shoulil now recede
from its action. This matter had not been
decided by party feeling, but according to
their oaths of Office as Senators Senators
