An Important Matter.

In March, 1865, Congress made a grant
Of zoe, 600 acres of land to the State of Min.
nesota, in trust to aid in the construction of
the Winona and St. Peter railroad This
was in addition to the six sections per
mile, or about zoo, COO acres, that had
been previously donated to this road. 1t
now seems the State has never turned over
this 100000 acres donated by the Act OF
1865, to the railroad company, but that ii
still holds the legal title to the same On
Wednesday last Senator Donncliy intro
duced the following resolution in reference
to these lands:
Res>Ired, That the committee on judcia-
ry be Instructed 70 enquire and report tc
this Senate all the facts in relation to said
grant, and whether 1t is in the power ni
the state 1T this time to refuse to accept
SUCH grant. .andtto return the same 10 the
Unitea States to: purposes Of settlement un-
der the home stead and p:e-cmption laws
OF the United States: and if not, what leg

OF this Staten the premises.
1Hls seems 10 lis 20 be Il very tlmGtv
move. 1t may b. said the State holds the
title to these lands III trust for the compa-
ny merely, and that good faith wcu!d re-
qulre the State TO transfer that title to the
company. But lc, us wait momen,. We
have had a little experience with this com:
pany. Those who ask equity should be
willing to do equity. We have Il statute in
this State regulating the tariffs on freights
to be charged BY railroads within its limits
The Winona l. ST; Peter railroad has re-.
peatedly violated that statute and deficd
the will and power Of the State represented
by that law. Certain parties nggrieved by
the illegal rates ex:orted by the company
brought suit to recover the same and obtained
judgment in the Distric: Court. Tie com

the Anti Monopoly party for the purpose of

and against The salary grabbers and rail-

be published in Que or more county papers.
L. E. SMITH,
Acting Secretary.
We give place to these resolutions, not
because we deem it prudent for Oranges to
approve or condemn i. Representative con
duct in acting with Il political party, but
because two Of the politica! papers of Wa
basha county have made the most unjustifi-
able attacks upon the motives and charac-
ter Of Bro. Smith. Oakwood Grange was
undoubtedly provoked beyond measure by
Tile uastaFuly slanuers OF Lnese pOut1cal
hacks, who have no respect for the most ex-
allied integrity, the purest character. or the
most disinterested services Of public SER
want, unless he bows the knee to their Baal,
takes his convictions from the party whip,
and supports the ring regardless of the in
terests Of the people. The Grange has seen
fit to take this method Of rebuking these
ring tools and disappointed seekers of
clerkships, although they might perhaps
have accomplished the same purpose as ef-
fectively by declaring their unwavering
faith in the integrity, purity, and disinter-
estedness of their noble young Representa-
tive.

Minnesota Alumni,

The good boys who went to school and
got their little sheep skins met at St. Paul
on the evening Of the 3Oth. The boys had
grown into bankers, merchants, postmas-
ters, lawyers, ministers, professors, editors
and judges, but when they got together
they forgot the years that had passed and
went back to college days, college toasts
and songs, and showed their appreciation
of good yictuals like all other mortals As
students are always very serene. calm and
dignified at their feasts and frolics so were
they. The following is d sample of their
songs which were sung with the spirit of
old times:
