FINANCIAL CONDITION or THE
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA.
Mr.. Bennett recently wrote to Mr..
Easton upon railroad matters and re-
ceived the following letter which shows
that the road is paying now:
CnATF1ELD, MIMI, Feb. 2, 1876.
W. II. BENNETT, ESQ.,,
Worthington, Mimi.
DEAR SIR: Yours of the 22d inst. 1
found on my return from New York,
and referred to our General Manager
Van Horne for answer.
AS TO the financial ability of our com
pany. I think we could stand the
comparison with the Sioux City, or any
other railroad in the State. Although
no ninally in the hands of Il Receiver.
we are no paupers. On the 1st of Janu-
:.ry we paid all our interest obligations
OH our bonded debt, and now have Il
surplus after meeting. I'LL matured obi
cations of over $5O,000. That don't
look much like bankruptcy, think.
Enclosed find copy of private note
I have just received from Mr.. Van
Horn, by which you can see how he re-
CARDS our financial condition..
There is. in my opinion, no doubt
that we shall be able to make 4 con.
nection with the Sioux City road by some
route, and if we can get aid to al
amount to cover the additional expense
Of the longer distance, it would no
doubt suit all parties to go via Jackson
and Worthington.
1t has been my idea to go west from
there to Lu Verne and Sioux Falls. as
the better route for business, although
we should lose a large amount of lands
Mr.. Van Horn thinks better 80 to Pipe.

value of q large amount we already have

THE BON US QUESTION.

Elsewhere we publish the notice of
the election to be held on the 14th Of
March, to vote upon the question of
issuing bonds to aid in the construction
of the Southern Minnesota Railroad.
Notices have also been printed and
posted in the several townships, so that
those who are called upon to vote may
know the conditions upon which they
are asked to bond the county. These
conditions are that the road shall be
built to Worthington by the first day Of
September, 1877, or the bonds will be
forfeited. Now let us turn out on
Town Meeting Day and give the bonus
large majority. 1t will be the best
investment we can make for the next
ten years.

The Postmaster GsneraI.

WASHINGTON, July ia few days ago
Postmaster General Jewell being asked
about the report that he intended to re.
sign, laughingly replied, that he =as
far from resigning; that he expected to
remain in his place until the end Of the
present administration. Yesterday at-
%ternoon, however. after calling at the
Executive Mansion to transact some
business with the President, the latter,
much to the surprise of the Postmaster
General, informed him that his resigna-
ton would be accepted Mr.. Jewell i'm
mediately wrote the letter accordingly.
The most intimate friends of Mr.. Jewell
are unable to account for the action of
the President, except on grounds of po-
litieal considerations. Mr.. Marshall;
First Assistant Postmaster General, who
was in the country, was telegraphed last
