EDroRs JOURNAL The stupid report
that was adost in your town the other
day in reference to the removal of the
county seat from this place to Lindsay
BY order Of the Supreme Court Of the
STATE, has been hunted home and amounts
to this: When the county scat question
was pending in court, Messrs. Steele and
Stockwell, clerks Of the District Court,
refused to accept the security given BY
Lindsay when they appealed their county
seat case to the State court. The Lind
say people brought suit against Aessrs:
Steele l.. Stockwcll for refusing their
bond offered as security for the costs
Of the case. This second suit was taken
to the Supreme court and decided against
Steele 4 StOckwell, being remanded to
the District court. The main suit, the
county seat contest) was decided long
ago in favor Of Minneapolis, the Judge
throwing the suit out ofcourt. This de-
cision, that is made against Steele 4
Stockwcll by the District court, does not
touch the main question but leaves the
county seat at Minneapolis, where the
people of the county have placed it. How
drowning men will catch ut straws.

INDIANS.

VII glcanings from different exchanges
bu office that there is great danger OF
reksions from hostile bands of Indians
.5n our frontier, this Summer. We
lain urge the settlers west of us, to COM
mence preparing for defense against
these depredxtors, for rs soon as the
grass is fairly up. and there is sufficient
feeding for their horses, the "braves "
will take the war-path, and come down
unawares on unprotected settlements.
Carry arms with you, wherever you
go. Have arms at your homes, in the
fields, and on the highways, for expert
encc has heretofore demonstrated that
eternal vigilance is only the settlers
safety. More than half Of the dire mas
ls,,cres that have occurred within the few
years last past, have resulted from the
Indifference and carclessness Of the vic
tins. The Indian style is not to attack
armed bodies of men, or fortrcsses, or
even lone houses, but to come down with
ono fell swoop upon some solitary way
farcr, without arms, and unconscious OF
any danger.
We write these few words Of warning
for the benefit Of many of our subscrib-
ers who live on the frontier, and have
recently moved into the country. Our
experience has not been "tried one"
but We have lived long enough in the
country to become acquainted with the
dark ways of these savage brutes, to a
fgreat extent. There is no doubt but that
fthcre is danger, and we are not disposed,
it we can prevent it by revealing facts, to
] let the frontierman suffer, in our ardent
desires to keep away all obstacles that
deter immigration. Some persons will
say that articles like this injure the pros
poets 6the settlement of the county ;
tk,oes, il i nothing but right to give
( ketGler timely warning Of impending
: fingers, for human lives weigh far more
J, the scales than a country's prospects.
Ion the other hand, it is our opinion that
one raid. accom- panied with any slaught-
.r, does more towards retarding the ma
terial growth and settlement ofOur west
crn country, than volumes Of friendly
warnings.

About the only argument We ever heard
