OFFTGT4L TNPUDENCE.

Notwithstanding the late judicial decis-
ion, it appears that the astute Secre. ary OF
the Interior, has mistaken the Attorney Gen
erai for the Supreme Court, and now hum
bly, asks his opinion on the St Croix land
grant. Are those Secretaries aware that
they are but executive servants of an exec
utive officer, in cases of plain undoubted
law, and not arbiters of disputed questions?
Will not the President please put a stopper
on the high handed outrages of his cabinet
officers against Northern Wisconsin?
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1872-09-07

will be reaped and garnered in rich harvest,
by the citizens of this community within
the Next Two Years.
The reasonabeness of this expectation
becomes apparent when we note the rapid
progress of the Lake Superior railway sys-
TEN, and reflect that two thirds OF the roads
which form it will be completed, or swiftly
verging to completion, by that time. Take
the Wisconsin Central r. r. We have al
ready published the information that this
important trunk line will reach Lake Supe-
rior at Ashland, by the first OF October,
1878; also that it will meet the Northern
Pacific at Superior ly Nay. 1874 And the
great Northern Pacific itself, now SO rapid
ly building, and which no less a parsonage
than w. Minor Roberts, its chief engineer,
declared was susceptible of completion by
the close of 1873, will assuredly be finished
virtually, if not actually, by Sept. 1st 1874.
That is, so small portion if any, will re-
main to be finished at that time, that the
foregoing date will suffice approximately
for the time of its completion.
But no one doubts that the South Shore
connection will be perfected in time to give
an airline winter outlet to the completed
n. P. r. r. Roads from the Chippewa
and ST. Croix valleys will also seek connec-
tions with the n. p. at the head of Lake
Superior, and no thinking man can suppose
for moment, that place working as earn
estly as Superior is, can fail of securing an
advantageous railroad outlet, while situated
as she will be, in the very centre Of the COM
ing railway network of 674.

TIE AhIT TIFO lEiRS.

IN an article entitled ''The Last Two
Years." which appeared in these columns
some time last winter, we showed that there
had been encouraging and marked progress
in the working out of important plans con-
cernine our harbor and railways, during the
time mentioned. But though this work has
apparently been in allegiance during the past
summer, those who are familiar with the
situation of affairs, know that the cessation
of effort is but seeming, and to accomplish
very important purposes, being in fact, an
other phase of work.
1t is quite likely that within a month or
two, there will be an advance along the line,
which will make better showing to the
outer world, than the mastery inactivity of
the past summer. And taking this first
lumber of our third volume as a new point
of observation, we venture to predict that
the fruits of the hard fought contests and
wesrisome delays of the last thirty months,

NEW YORK, June 26.-The withdrawal of

SUBJECT OF interest among lawyers. NcCunn
has resumed his place on the bench Of the su-
preme court, and his counsel say that his case
must be passed upon by the court of appeals III
adversely decided 9t Albany. They claim that
the extraordinary rulings Of the senate forced
them TO retire. A letter Of one of McCunn's
receivers, very damaging 10 the defence. was
found among certain papers, and its production
surprised McCunn, and, II is said, moved him to
withdraw.

prove favorable from this time out. the yield
