MOB LAW IN MINNESOTA.
County Carried Off by q Mob
CraZed with s'Oh! be Joyful"

From the Minnesota Falls Sentinel
Last Saturday mob consisting OF
twenty-five or thirty men from Granite
Falls and Stony Run, (all picked men
with view to their muscular and plug
ugly propensities,) were collected to go
to Yellow Medicine to take by force
from the different County Officers, our
county books and records. In open de.
fiance of law and crazed, some of them,
with plenty of the ''Oh! be joyful, y
they seized the books and records be-
longing to the county, overpowered our
county officers, and carried their plum
der to Granite Falls, in true ''plag
ugly style. We are informed that
the books are scattered all over the
town of Granite Falls, being kept by
parties who are wholly irresponsible.
We trust Fthat these ''red handed
Mikes, will yet come to know and &C.
knowledge the supremacy Of law and
order over british mob force, even in
this new frontier county.

The Mankato Reriep says that two
of the Commissioners of Cottonwood
county arrived there last week to make
the necessary preliminary arrange
ments for housing and provisioning the
large force of wood choppers expected
there from that county to procure a
supply of wood for this winter. From
these gentleman we understand that
the county has been closely and thor
oughly canvassed and the number of
families requiring aid is about 200 1t

half cords will be required to

TOTHE POINT.

Hon. Liberty Hall, the able editor OF
the Glencoe Register, talks right out
in meeting, after this fashion:
The situation is not wholly satisfactory to
Mr. Ramsey's friends The future is not so
clear as it might be. Party discipline is lax,
when compared with twelve or even SIX
wears ago. While there are many more Re-
publicans in the State now than there were
before the esacred cow" The age of
idolatrv for Minnesota has passed, and
the age of reason has set in. Men
are now asking themselves. To what end
have we sacrificed so many good Republi-
cans on the altar of Rarnsey's ambition
And the answer comes back, that Wheelock,
Driscoll, Croweil, Todd, Slower, ct. al, may
get fat.
awe submit, that if it was ths1duty and
special mission OF the Republican party in
Minnesota, to take these men in the lean
and famished condition in which it found
them, twelve or fifteen years ago, and tat
them, that it has performed the duty well.
for every one of them is now tat enough to
kill.
That is true Liberty, in a financial
sense. Financially they are all as fat
as Daniel Lambert. Physically 10.
Wheelock and Todd are very much like
Pharoah' S lean kline; and morally there
isn't half as much to either Of them as
TO one of the Eddy Brothers spiritual
istic materializations. You might as
we'll try to fatten fanning-mill by run
ming oats through it, as to fatten Jo'
Wheelock; and Todd Phew! All his
substance goes into his hat,
But then this isn't any of our funeral
and so we can't mingle our tears with
you, Liberty. You simply propose tc
drive away the fat hogs and let in the
lean ones. We propose to move the
trough into another yard and fatten q
different and altogether superior breed
of animals,who won eat any moro thar
is good for the country. Hey, Liberty

Gen. Butler arrived here yesterday,
but declines to talk for publication. He
is glum and cross, and only let himself
out SO far as to remark that he was
cheated by his own friends, or those re-
lied on as his friends, OF else he would
have been returned to Congress. He
adds that it was not the tidal ware, but
treachery, that overwhelmed Kim. and
that he can stand it if the Republican
party can. He called on the President
last evening, and was accorded brief
interview. 1t was in the interest, it is
said. of the restoration of Mullett.
SPORTING PROMISES.
John F. Chamberlain, of the Long
Branch clubhouse, is negotiating for
the purchase of the mansion now occu-
pied by the British minister. Cham
berlain says in one year after he estab-
fishes himself in Washington, the CAPT.
tai shall have race course and race
meetings equal to those at Baltimore.
If he fulfills these promises, he will be
ranked as public benefactor by large
circle. and will be as popular here as at

WHY ,

The Pioneer, Monopoly Anti-Mo-
nopolist,) says that the reason why the
railroads are charging the millers SO
much for carrying their flour, is be-
cause the Potter law stops them from
fleeing and robbing the people Of the
State of Wisconsin, and therefore they
propose to make it up off the people of
Minnesota. But query: Why can't
Minnesota have Potter law, too, and
then the railroads would have to rob
some other community! Because the
Repu blican party prevents it in this
State and is trying to repeal the law in
Wisconsin,.

HOW 1T WORKS.

The protected carpet mills Of Phila-
delphio yielded in 1870, seuenty-seren
per cent profit per anmuma!
The mems wages averaged $40 per
week, out of which they were to pay
for food, fuel, clothing, doctors bills
and funerals
And Bill King says he is in favor OF
this ''protection" ofthe a0orkm,an and
the Republican party is High Tariff
party; and VIC pay two prices for our
carpets, or go without, so that the man
ufacturers can make 81 per cent per
wear and the workmen starve.

Washington Special (Nov. 29) to Chicago
Tribune]
Congressman are arriving in consid-
cradle numbers, and the indications are
that before the week is ended a quo
rum of both branches will be here.
The conversation Of the Democratic
members shows that they are the same
untaught and unteachable Bourbons.
Even so sagacious a man as Beck of
Kentucky, can see in the recent Repub-
lican reverses only positive Democratic
gains. The friends Of Beck admit that
he is candidate for the United
States Senate, and that the reason OF
his declining nomination is found IN
this fact.
AN EFFORT TO BE MADE TO PREVENT THE
HOLIDAY ADJOURNMENT.
The near advent of Congress has
called attention to the exceeding short
ness of the coming session. if the
usual holiday vacation is observed.
there will be but sixty working days
in the session. An effort will be made
to prevent the holiday adjournment,
but it is not probable that such move
ment will be successful. 1t is the in
tention of the working members who
have arrived to have as much work as
possible sent to committees before the
holidays, in the expectation that ma
jority of the principal committees will
be willing to sit during the recess.
THE MESSAGE.
The President commenced his mes
sage yesterday, and he does not intend
to complete it until the day Of the
meeting Of Congress. 1t will not be
printed, and no copy of it will be made
till the morning Of the assembling Of
Congress, when a copy will be given to
the associated Press.
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Members of the House Appropria-
ton Committee say that all the regular
appropriation bills, except the sundry
civil, will be ready to be introduced On
the first day of the coming session.
They hope to have two or more CT
them passed before the holidays, and
all of them through by the lst Of Feb
ruary. The River and Harbor bill is
prepared by the House Commerce Com
mittee. and has not vet received any
attention.

Pc RSONAL.

Some dirty fellow in Hastings, has
written TO the St. Paul Press the I'M
portant fact that we declined, at the sug.
gestion of even that great man, Judge
Crosby, to give two dollars to railroad
official who was getting up contributions
for the grasshopper-aftlicted people of
southwestern Minnesota. And a locu.
lar remark we made,t that we would give
a copy of the ANTI. MoNoPorrsr, and that
that would drive the grasshoppers out
of the country, is tortured into a ser.
ious proposition. We are inclined to
think we can see Todd hat or Crosby S
nose sticking up through the Press re-
port.
We have just this to say: We are
willing to do our part, according to our
means, but we prefer to send our con.
tributions through some other channel
than railroad men. The railroad cor.
porations have stolen more from the
farmers of Minnesota than the grass
hoppers; and the grasshoppers might as
well solicit subscriptions for the relief
of the railroad victims as the railroad
men take up contributions for the relief
of those impoverished by their fellow
plunderers, the grasshoppers.

The members of Congress who have
arrived here within day or two, rep
resenting both political parties, offer a
singular phase of political policy for
the impending session. 1t was tele-
graphed last night that the Republican
members propose to do as little as pos
sible. and wait for the Democrats to
make mistakes, by which the former
hope to profit. The Democratic mem
bers, on the other Misunderstanding
such as Beck of Kentucky. and Swami
of Maryland,-state that the Demo-
Gratis are not responsible for the tail
end of this Congress, and do not pro-
pose to originate, but mainly to resist
such measures of the Republicans as
have in view partisan purpose. In
deed. they are quite amused at the in
timation of do-nothing policy on the
part of the Republicans, thrown out by
Hale of Maine, and others, and declare
that there will be little else done than
the passage of the appropriation bills.
if such course is pursued. They pre-
dict. however, that the President will
submit specie resumption programme
that the Republican party, imitation
lists and all. cannot well ignore. to say
nothing Of other measures incident to
the session.
THE HUNGRY LOBBY.
There are unerring indications that
the projectors of the various canal pro-
jects and other internal improvement
schemes, contemplate combined at.
tack upon the treasury during the com.
ing session of Congress. Possibly, to
make assurance doubly sure. they NAV
unite with railway. Pacific mail. and
cotton-tax Hobbies. A prominent re-
publican official remarked. the other
day, that Congress would drain the
treasury this season, and that every
appropriation asked. for no matter
what purpose, would be made. This
prediction may or may not be verified.

third house are in unusually good spir-
