January /, 1876. He strongly favors
a return to a gold currency, but
leaves to Congress the duty Of fixing
the time and manner Of accomplishing
that result. He suggests, in this
connection, the repeal Of the legal
tender clause in the currency act, to
take effect as to contracts, after the
day fixed by law for its repeal; that
the Secretary of the Treasury should
be given power to obtain gold from
and after the date fixed by the act
providing for return to specie pay
ments. This may be partially, if not
wholly accomplished by bonds. The
reyenne3 Of tie country, he thinks,
should be in excess of the expenditures
to keep up this redemption, which
should he obtained By greater economy

DUNNELL'S VOTE.

The Pioneer is out again with the let
ters showing that Dunnell requested to
be set right OH the record made of the
the vote on the salary bill by the blum
dering Clerk of the House. Dunne]l vo:
ted mo" distinctly as Hon. II. 3.
Strait, member from the Second District
of this State, Hon r. II. DUEL, of New
York, and other members certify over
their own names. They distinctly heard
Dunne]l vote No." and would make
oath to the fact. But the. Clerk blum
dered and reported Dunnell as
not voting. Dunnell requested to
be set right in the Globe,
and: he was published correctly. After
wards, he was published in pamphlet
edition Of the. Globe as not voting,
which was wrong. But tie Clerk and
the Reporter stuck to the blunder, and
so Dunnell has gone on the record as
not voting. OF course, we do not ex-
pect fairness from Dunnell's opponents
at this late day. THEY began with mis-
representation and they must now
fight it out Oh this line. But the peo-
pie of the frontier like ':fair play'' and
will'see that Dunnell has it. They will
send him back to Congress, to do more
good work for the frontier.

ANOTHER REBELLION.

The legitimate State Government in
Louisiana has been overthrown and
another set of officers installed. In
other words, the Republican officers
have been driven out at the point of
the bayonet and the Democratic officers
have taken possession of the machin-
cry of the State Government. The
President has issued proclamation or
dering the insurgents to dispense with
in five days, and unless they do 50, war
must he the inevitable result. The
Kellogg Government was the rightful
authority i'll the State, and had been so
pronounced by Congress and so .recog-
nized by the Executive, and if the Gov
eminent was not well administered.
the people of Louisiana should have
waited 20 correct the matter at the
polls. But the people Of the South are
still, it seems, set of semi-savages,
and must carry everything by brute
force. Very we'll, let them feel the
same force which they have invoked.
Since writing the above the rebels
have surrendered the State archives
and machinery to the military. We
hope Kellogg will he promptly reinst;,.
ted. Otherwise the rebels will tri-
umph; and tile same trick will be re.
peated in every Southern State where
the Republicans may Carry an election.

We have been constant but rather
hasty reader of the Minneapolis Tri-
bune, since the paper passed into the
hands of Messrs. Thompson, Wilcox &
Co., but we have read it with sufficient
regularity and care to become satisfied
that it is one of the best dailies in Min
nesota, and in some respects the best.
Its course upon tile Beecher-Tilton
matter has been so just and so in &C
cord with the Christian sentiment of
the country as to make it hosts of
friends. In it's editorial department, it
lacks the slashing vigor of the St. Paul
Press and the copious Auency and full
ness Of the Pioneer, but for candid and
digniied treatment of all questions,
political and otherwise, we think the
Tribune takes the lead.

MINNESOTA AND IMMIGRATION:

The St. Peter Tribune says that it
was recently informed by Hon. Wt.
|Seeger. that he found in the handSY OF
|sonae Msnohites,lately arrived, 'sScig--
Eculr printed + Gefnan, Mating that
Ethete Wis an ntire1 ailpnssof asps in
Minnesota, and that an actual famine
existed here. The circular originated
in Kansas, and pictured everything
prosperous and lovely in that state"
- While returning from St.. Paul last
week we fell in with Mr.. Seeger OH the
cars who was on his way to Nebraska
to confer with some recently-arrived
Menonites. They had been taken in
hand at New York by Nebraska immi-
grafton agents and ticketed through.
They informed the agents that they
wished to 60 to Minnesota and the &C
commodating agents assured them that
it was all the same, as the tickets would
take them to Minnesota. 3 .
The Menonites are arriving in large
numbers, and of ALL the European i'm
migrants, they seem best adapted. to
prairie regions like ours. They have
occupied timberless district in Russia
similar to this, and have been accus-
toned to burning hay and straw and to
conditions peculiar to a vast timberless
region: They are, moreover, as u rule,
not only a moral but religious people.
Financially, their condition is better
than that Of probably any other class of
immigrants. Many of them are veal
thy, and most Of them are we'll to do.
They are bringing with them large
sums of money. The Window Reporter
says the families Mr.. Seeger has been
influential in locating at Mountain
Lake within the past year, have put
in circulation from $4,000 to $4,000,
besides going to work with a deternii.
nation to reap reward from our soil. 81
If the State of Minnesota does not Sc
cure the lions share of this valuable
class of immigrants, it will be her own
fault. Thepenny-Wise and pound-foOl.
ISL policy Of her Legislature and hel
railroad companies is giving Kansas
and Nebraska all the advantage they
wish. They keep immigration agents
in New York constantly and no stone
is left unturned to advertise their
States. Their railroads keep the coun.
try flooded with advertisements setting
forth the advantages of their soil and
climate, and the great tide of ilnmigra'
ton is turned in that direction. And
now they are even absorbing the Men.
onites, who belong naturally to this
latitude and who desire to settle here.
Let Minnesota adopt the same energet.
ic' policy and thus people her own prair.

OBSCENE LITERATURE.

OBSCENE LI1ERA TLIRE.
Those who engage in the publication
and sale Of obscene books are subject
to severe penalties. But Theodore Til

the law and the officers. They have
invented method by which obscene
literature of the flthiest kind can I've
published broadcast, kept up for months
and large sums Of money realized,
Willie all tie newspapers iii the country
will advertise their filthy wares for
them. This plan is simply to charge a
great preacher with adultery and then
to draw Oh their imagination for unlim-
tied quantities of prurient details, all
of which will find ready sale and will
be carried into every family where a
daily paper is read. We have scarcely
doubt that Tilton was literally paid
for his statement, and that AIoulton re-
ceived handsome sum for the state
ment furnished the Graphic, which,
however, is too indecent, to be general
~ copied. This obscene brace of black
mailers and slanderers, who have been
without character from the first and
are now bankrupt in reputation, are
shrewd enough to get the ear of the pub
lie and make a handsome sum out of
their bawdy publications. The whole
thing is one Of the boldest and most vii

In his Worthington speech Dunnell
admitted that he had done wrong on
the salary grab, but appealed to the
people to c0ndone his offense.-Munka-
to Reuieeu.
Dunnell did not admit that he had
done wrong. He said that he may have
erred IN judgment in taking the back
pay, and # so, he ought to be. forgiven,
and he showed what forgiving people
the American people are by an allusion
to Alex. II. Stephens who committed
treason and yet holds a seat in Con-
gress.
A Democrat writing from Worthing
ton to the Pioneer, says: IF the cor.
rupt use of money and misleading and
deceiving the people are harbingers of

ton of the statement our hearty en-.
dorsement, for ''Mr. Dunnell will be

And then We sent whole fleets to bring us Gold
