What q Washington Magazine Think
=. .:>s>.-..of Her Future. II :

What q Washington Magazine 1ktnks
=. .:>s*@-..of Her Future. !. +; r
A late number of the Republic, 3
monthly magazine devoted to the dis
semination of political information,
and published at the National Capital,
contains a long and well written sketch
Of the past, present and prospective Of
Minnesota, from which the concluding
portion is taken as follows:
So far as the extent of a magazine ar
ticle will admit, we have endeavored to
lay before the reader a faithful state
ment Of the history and the present
features of this young Northwestern
State. From Territory twenty-five
years ago, with less than five thousand
white Inhabitants, Minnesota has be-
come a State embracing population of
over half million of hardy, robust,
and energetic people, with a climate
eminently adapted to preserve and per-
petuate those qualities in men 50 essen
tial to the States growth and great
ness in its future generations. With a
strong, rich soil and a we'll watered
surface, covering an area nearly equal
to that Of all the New England States,
or eight times as large as that of Belgi-
UNI, which now carries a population
of over 5000, 900, Minnesota has within
itself the means of sustaining 40, O0O, 600
OF people. Lying, as it does, midway
on the continent. and in the direct and
shortest route from the great Atlantic
cities and lakes to the Pacific ocean,
and between England and China, Min
nesota can not fail to become, in the
near future, one of the most important
centers, not only of continental COM
MERGE, but also on the completion Of
the Northern Pacific railroad, the high
way and one of the main depots of a
large portion of the commerce between
the Eastern and European quarters Of
the globe. The late Hon. William III.
Seward knew we'll the boundaries and
understood the capacities Of almost
every foot Of this continent, from Sitka
to St. Johns, and he knew whereof he
spoke when he said, in a speech at st.
Paul, in 1860:
Here is the place-the central place
where the agriculture of the richest re-
gion of North America must pour out
its tributes to the whole world. On the
east. all along the shore of Lake Supe~
rior, and west, stretching in one broad
plain in q belt quite across the CONT
nent, is country where State after
State is yet to arise, and where the pro-
auctions for the support Of human So
ciety in the old crowded States must
be brought forth. I now
believe that the ultimate last seat of
government ON this great continent
will be found somewhere within cir
Gle or radius not very far from the spot
on which I stand, at tho head of nayi-
cation on the Mississippi river.

ANOTHER STEPHEN,

TERRE HAUTE, Nov. 9.-On October
% Joseph Robbins, bridge Waterman at
Kaskaskia River on the Vandalia Rail-
road in Illinois, was murdered. A neigh
Dor named Nathan Burgess was ares
ted on suspicion. On trial the eviden-
ce against him was very strong, and he
finally confessed in court his guilt. He
knew Robbins had just received a
months wages. He got a shot gun,
went to the bridge and fired through
the window at Robbins. On approach
ing the spot he saw Robbins on his
knees and heard him saying, ''Oh God
have mercy on the one who did this
Spare him for Jesus sake.'' He turned
and fled, but the voice and words have
haunted him since and induced the con-
fession.

THE CONSISTENT INDICATOR.

"Oh1H1NdION, NOH. ~. ~.
EDITOR ADVANCE: I have been
looking over the two last copies of the
Vallandingham sheet flor it reads, talks,
and acts just like the paper Val. used to
publish before. he rid the world of him
self,) and have made up my mind that
it is the quintessence of inconsistency
reduced to a decimal point. In the
number before the election the paper
urged everybody to vote for L. B. Ben
nett because he was against bonding
the county for any purpose, and to not
vote for I. p. Durfee because he was in
favor of bonding the county for $4,000
to fund the present indebtedness
Then in the next number OF the paper
after the election what do we see but a
wild scheme for bonding the county for
about 500, 900, more or less, to build a
railroad bed from here to Rock county
and perhaps we could sell (?) it to some
one. Now any boy in the streets who
knows how to shovel dirt with a shingle
ought to know that it will cost 5000
a mile to build road bed.
If the writer of that article knows
anything about railroads, he knows
that there never was a railroad COM
menced and finished and owned by the
same company. Also that the project
ors and beginners of a new road in
ninety-nine cases out Of hundred got
only their labor for their palms, unless
the Government donated them three or
four million acres of land, but some
rich company would come along and
buy the wreck or road bed for song
and be that much ahead towards their
railroad.
There is no danger of the people of
Mobiles county voting any thing of the
kind, not even the writer Of the article
if he intends making this county his
home. But I brought this up to show
how the paper blew one tune before the
election and another one after. ''Con-
sistency thou art jewell
Another thing. The paper says if
every one they spoke to had vo-
ted the Democratic ticket that
claimed they did after the election
there would not have been ten Republic
can tickets in the box. I will venture
to say that there was not a Republican
in this voting precinct that is ashamed
of his having put in strait Republican
vote. If any one put in fraudulant,
succotash, mongrell thing Of a vote,
I'll bet they are ashamed of it. G.

1t will be seen by the editorial article from
the Chicago Tunes, a paper no ways partial to
the District government, that the unscrupulOus
warfare upon Governor Shepherd has had the
contrary effect to that intended. Instead of
crushing him, IL has only served to bring out in
strong eolOrs the magnitude and Importance
OF his work in raising Washington from q quag.
mire to be the Queen City Of the country. The
TiHss comes TO the conclusion that Governor
shepherd affords another illustration of the
fact 'that whenever a city has m sde a sudden
and conspicuous adyanc In the way of develop
ing Its resources, increasing its sttractIyeness
and enhancing its desirsbility as a place or
sboGe for multitudes of people, the scheme has
been an inspiration Of some one man who has
been ranked as q tyrant or robber at the time,
and as public benefactor afterwards" The
Chicago paper ends by suggesting, in view Of
"the utter impracticsbility of carrying out any
plan OF public improvement, the criminal neg
lect Of public interests on the part Of the off,
cials, the clumsy Incoherent and unwieldy
character Of the existing government, &C., g. !"
OF that city that they had better import Gov.
Shepherd to afford relief. Well we can't spare
him here just yet, but when his good work is
fully accomplished for this District, perhaps we
will lend him to some of the other badly regula-
ted cities that need q competent "Boss."

The latest raid upon the Secretary OF the
Treasury Il from the retiring Commissioner OF
Customs. The announcement of the determi-
nation Of this functionary that he has sad
E'facts" to give TO the public concerning the
Official character Of his superior officers comes
with bad grace and weakened force when it
follows thrift upon his involuntary disposition
to "fresh relds and pastures new" Such facts
IL were better for him TO have given in the hey
day Of his Official greatness, and not wait until
he Is fu1setus CtFeiO-for that argues revenge,
and NOT patriOtism.
