The Reception.

The Legislature of Minnesota rendered
reception to the citizens of St Paul and
Minneapolis, and any others who might
choose to accept, which occurred at the
capitol on the evening Of the 26th inst
Everything was put in order for the great
event of the session. Committee rooms
were converted into dressing rooms, while
the Senate Chamber, and the Hall of the
House were used for dancing and prone
nading. The Senate Chamber was the scene
IF the greatest brilliancy and festivity
The seats and desks had been cleared out
for the occasion, (also Donnelly and Will
kinson.) Its doors were thrown open at
nine o'clock, and grand promenade, led
off by Gov. Davis and wife, commenced
eve suppose the Governor saw no modern
feudalism or any other African in the fence
in this arrangement Then music arose
with its voluptuous swell. (from Seibert's
band, and on went the dance, (by the Met
ropolitan club, and joy was uncon6ned lex
cept to the country members, who were
supposed to be enraptured with wonder and
delight at what they saw, to such an extent
as to entirely unqaalify them to take any
part in the performance, save to look on, }
and all went merry as a marriage bell lex

parties inimical to The interests Of our oity..
For his many valuable .ervices 70 the
company, or rather TO the Hastings stock
holders, Mr.. Donnelly never asked, nor did
he receive, one cent. He was ever watch.
ful Of our interests, and had the other gen
tlemen in whom We trusted been equally
faithful, the citizens Of Hastings would
have been saved their investment OF $75.-i
GOO, and Hastings would have been the
terminus Of one Of the most important rail-
roads in the State, instead of being, as It is
now, way station. In voting to Mr.. DON
nelly the stock, we did so in payment of his
services in procuring the loan to enable US
to commence building the road, and for no
other purpose; and if any person or per-
sons seek to make any other construction
from it, they do Mr.. Donnelly and justice
grevious wrong. e.. ,&.s-.
We have known Mr.. Donnelly for years
and have ever found him upright and hon
orable. Our social and business relations
have been intimate, and we have found him
straightforward and honest. We have
known him as citizen, and though some
Of US differ from him politically, yet we
cannot but believe him to be true to the
principles he judges to be the best interests
of the people. We knew him when he first
went to Congress, and had pretty fair
means Of knowing his financial condition,
and when he returned after six years in
Congress his means were not visibly in
creased, and he was not one Of that kind
that squandered money. We knew MIN
when in Congress; and found him always
ready to advance the interests Of our city,
county and State We found him unselfsh
to his own interests, and when he could
have had the Hastings & Dakota Railroad
run to Nininger, which would have greatly
enhanced the value of his property, he did
not do SO. We believe, from what we
know Of him, that he is above bribery. and
we know that he did not prostitute his po-
sition in Congress to his own pecuniary ad-
vantage. Though we take exception to
much that MIR. Donnelly says and does,
Messrs. Editors, we believe that your
charges against him are groundless. ard we
know they are in the matter of that stock
voted to him by the Hastings & Dakota
Railroad Company. Therefore, to set you
and your readers right, we make this state
ment.

Va srs sxossdinaly sorry 70 SEQ that
President sGrsat has ssnt : special nsssass
70 Consrsss. urging Congressional aid for
the proposed Centennial Exposition &
Philadelphia. L may be III very nice in
theory to have : big time over the ono
hundredth. anniversary Of the national
birth day. to meet in the city Of William
Penn. and old Independence Hall, for the
purpose Of self-elori6cation, and spreading
the eagle on thick, but let those who par
ticipate in this great luxury foot the bills,
and them only. Of what possible benefit
or advantage could such an occasion be to
the laboring classes Of the country! How
ever great, grand. glorious, and successful
the enterprise may be, they cannot possi-
bly, attend it. More especially would this
be the case in the West and South, where
not one out Of 10000 could attend, and
those only of the wealthier classes.
If our friends in the East desire to spread
themselves upon this occasion, we have no
possible objection, but that they should call
upon us to help them foot the bills, is a
piece Of presumptuous effrontery, and
shameless audacity. If Congress has any
thing to give away, for heavens sake let it
be given to the poor settlers on the from
tier, who, in addition to the privations and
hardships incident to life in q new country,
have been overtaken by special reverses
and misfortunes; until thousands have been
brought face to face with famine and starva :
ton.
A strong and determined effort will, un-
doubtedly, be made to secure large ap-
preparation for the centennial splurge, and
in fact we shall not be surprised if it is OBJ
tanned, especially since the President has
favored it with a special message. True,
the national debt during the fall and win
ter has been increasing at the rate of from
four to nine millions per month until the
last month True, Mr.. Dawes, Chairman
of the Finance Committee in the House of
Representatives, has shown that the ex-
penses Of the national government have
been increasing at an alarming rate
True, our greenbacks, the notes Of the gov
erument, are worth six per cent. less than
they were some months ago, yet these are
arguments that cannot be supposed to have
any effect upon Simon Cameron, and the
class Of politicians who are clamoring for
this appropriation.
We appeal to those in the East, who are
not under the control Of the magnates and
tyrants Of Congress, We appeal to every
western and southern member to oppose
this abominable attempt to pay the bills of
one portion of the country out Of the pock-
cts of another portion. We warn them that
the people will not look upon this matter
with more favor than they did upon the
Credit Mobilier frauds and the Back Pay
Steal. Death to the Congressman who
comes back to his constituency with the
smell of the Centennial fraud upon his gar
ments.

A Gift Enterprise Swindle.

A writer to the Mankato Union says that
the drawing Of the Mankato Gift Enterprise,
which was to have taken place on the 22d
OF February, and which had been extensive
~ advertised, and editorially noticed by
the papers, and vouched for by prominent
business men Of the city, did not come off
at that time, nor has there been any notice
OF, postponement. On behalf of many ticket
holders he desires somebody to rise and ex-
plain. In reply the Union says it has
neither advertised, or endorsed this con-
Germ, and has all along had private opin-
ion to the effect that this thing was swim
die, or thereabouts. 1t notices that the
day set for drawing, Feb. 22d, was Sunday.
1t knows that Mr.. Sayler, the manager of
the affair, receives large numbers Of letters
containing money, which he deposits in the
aforesaid Sayler's breeches pockets. He
does not 60 to the trouble of having q COM
mittee to take charge of the funds, feeling
perfectly competent to attend to that thing
himself. The Union advises the ticket
holders to prosecute the gentle Sayler,
President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Gen
eral Manager Of the Mankato Gift Enter
prise Swindle, for obtaining money upon
false pretenses, and calls upon citizens who
have endorsed the concern to make public
disclaimer. .,,
How men do love to be humbugged and
swindled. The demand for humbups.
knaves, and swindlers is greater than the
demand for bread. If the demand be great
shall we wonder that the supply is equal to
it? There seems to be perfect mania on
the part Of the people to be humbugged.
For our part we should be glad if every
ticket holder in the above mentioned con-
Germ loses his money. Men will not, learn
BY experience unless they have to pay for
it, and the sooner they buy little common
sense the better. Newspapers may expose
these rascalities and swindles week after
week, and year after year, and the people
pay no attention to it Whatever, until they
get bitten themselves. It seems that they
would Thousand times rather pay the
thieves and scoundrels for knowledge ANA
common sense than they would pay the ed
itors.

LAST week 0. Eames e. Co., bought
two calves, raised by Daniel Purdy of
Goodhue County, eight and one-half
months old, one Of which weighed, when
dressed, 1916 pounds and the other $50
pounds. The price paid for both was $62.
They were probably the finest calves ever
brought to this market. And, speaking
about calves, reminds US that we would like
to know the man who can beat the above.

The famous Tiehb hbssns elaimant was soa.
}vieted Of perjury BY s Loadoa jsry. on
Feb. 2sth. after trial which lasted 100:
days. and was sentenced . fourteen years
penal servitude. This il perhaps the most
remarkable case that ever came into the
courts. The claimant professed to be Sir
Roger Tichborne. who long since Left his
native country and has not been heard from
for near twenty years, and claimed the ss--
tates to which Sir Roger was heir. He,
brought suit for the recovery Of these large
estates, but those in possession denied that
the claimant was actually Sir Roger, but
alleged that he was one Arthur Orton, who
had been in the employ of the Tichborne
family, and was thus familiar with oil the
affairs Of the family. withdrawing
the mother of Sir Roger accepted and de-
clared the claimant to be her son, and ma
ny influential persons including member Of
Parliament, took his side, he was neverthe-
less beaten in the suit. Charges for per-
jury were then preferred against him.
Hundreds of witnesses have been sworn
and testified in this case. Witnesses have
been brought from all parts Of the world.
Scores Of them. including young lady he
used to gallant, have sworn positively that
the claimant is Arthur Orton, and scores of
others have rs positively testified that he is
the veritable long lost Tichborne. This tri-
al has caused more commotion and cost
more money than any trial that has pre-
ceded it. The general opinion is that the
verdict is correct, and that the pretended
heir is none other than Orton, although the
case is not without reasonable doubts, and
we are therefore little astonished that
the jury found him guilty but they have
probably been guided to this conclusion by
the evidence, all Of which we have not read.
Another such remarkable case is not like
ly to occur during the lifetime Of any per-
son now living

place. We shall rejoice with our friends

complishing these two grand enterprises.

FISH IN THE TEUcEEE.-Says the
Truckee Republican:
The inhabitants of this section Of
California. including those residing
around and near Lake Tahoe, lament
that the people Of the State OF Nevada.
between Verdi ana Pyramid Lake, should
have placed distractions in the river
which efTectually prevent fish, large and
small, from coming up. Not a trout has
been canght IN this vicinity yet: Saw
dust nor bark do not prevent their COM
ing, it is the sinful people OF Nevada
and the non-enforcement of the fish
laws of that State. The fish in the
Truckec in attempting to make their way
M the river are caught in the State OF
Nevada by means Of grab-hooks, seines,
fish nets, dams, traps, giant powder and
every other device that the GIa5ollcai III
genniity Of man. savage or civilized, can
haven't. Two Cinnamon were arrested
at Camp IS on Sunday by officers Get
chell and Cross, for catching trout with
crab-hooks. They were brought to town
and fined SIS, the lowest amount pre-
scribed by law for such oifense. We are
informed that these Cinnamon We're lg-
norant OF the law against the use of grab
hooks in fishing We presume that If
the officers are vigilant they may catch
white men engaged in the same nefarlous
business.
