do you believe that Mr.. Lincoln knew Whist
course General Grant was likely to pursue?
General Pleasanton (refectively blowing
cloud of smoke into space)-From anything
that General Grant said, Dir. Lincoln was prob
ably not aware of what General Grant intended
to do, but from the information in his posses
sion, derived from the plan of campaign which
had been submitted to him and which was not
adopted, he could readily surmise what would
be the movements of the Army of the Potomac
under General Grant.
From the position of the two armies. The
army of the Potomac, to dislodge General Lee
from Orange court house, had either to turn
the left flank of Lees army by movement to
the right or turn his right flank by = move
ment to the left, which would throw the army
into the Wilderness. The plan of campaign by
q movement to the right having been rejected,
the other movement must follow as conse-
quence, and Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Stanton were
both men of too much intelligence not to be
able to deduce what would be done by knowing
what would not be undertaken.
Herald Representative-Which movement
was recommended in your plan?
General Pleasonton- movement by the
right.
Herald Representative Why?
General Pleasanton-As I have already in
formed you, to deprive General Lees army of
the railroad from Orange court house to
Lynchburg, by means of which he received q
large amount of his supplies. The country
was far more open and better adapted for of
fensivo military operations than the country
called the Wilderness, which was to the right
of Lees army, and into which, if Lee had been
forced, he would have fought his army under
the same difficulties and endorsements which
the Army of the Potomac met with when he en-
countered it there under General Grant; or, in
other words, to have forced Lees army, by my
operations on the right into the position in
the Wilderness of the Army of the Potomac
where it was engaged by Lee.

THAT BRIDGE.

Nobody Mad n, Minneapolts--dU d'nious
that 1t Should be B"ilt--Entirely Salts
fed ,uith the Height, If it IL St9tV- Eight
Feet.
Nobody's mad in Minneapolis about the Fort
Smelling bridge that the GLOBE representative
can discover Everybody wants the structure
completed at as early day as practicable,
and every man, woman and child would cast a
vote in favor of the proposed government sub
sidy, If necessary to secure it.
But that internally inaccurate Pausanius, who
lives in st. Paul and writes the Washington cor
respondence of that unveracious sheet, the
Pioneer Press, stated distinctly that the bridge
was to be ffty-eight feet high. Of course the
Min ,neapolis city council stopped over in at
t.ch ng any Importance to a statement pub
councils and chambers of commerce and
boards of trade have a special
license to make asses of themselves on the
slig htest possible provooation, and the case in
quas ton is by no means solitary one IN the
History of either St. Paul or Minneapolis.
The GLOBE reporter would restate the case:
Minneapolis as q community wants the Fort
Smelling bridge, and St. Paul made grievous
mistake that she did not invite our people to
issue bonds to aid in it's construction.
If there is anything in nature that Minneapolis
rejoices in doing, and never misses an oppor-
tunity of doing it is issuing bonds. The pur-
pose for which they are to be issued is of sec
ondary importance--only just give us free and
independent voters a!hack at the future pocket
book Of the coming Minneapolitan, the citizen
that is to be, and is yet unborn, and we are
supremely and sublimely happy. And
we are grieving now, because
We have not been asked to issue bond for
any purpose whatever for three or four weeks
All Of us want that bridge, only in case the
bill is so drawn that the coming. steamboat
Though it should never come) could not come
to tho Minneapolis levee. then We want an
other foot POSSIBLY six inches would answer)
added to the bridge. And for this will the CITY
council of the city Of Minneapolis ever pray.
Now will You give us a rest?

fSt. James Journal

The Nicollet county grand jury have investi-
gated the killing of an inmate of the insane
hospital, and although the facts in the case
warrant the hanging of Belts. tho murderer,
and change in the management of the hos
pital, the whole concern has been whitewashed
by the Investigators. Belts pried open the
mouth of the victim with plug in order to
force him to take food; the Cruel strangled
him and he died. Yet the grand jury found
no cause for complaint whatever. Now if the
Senate committee will award each of the jurors
a hempen rope with which to hang themselves,
it will be fitting endorsement of their YER

The daily GLOBE, with it's customary enter
PRISE was the only morning paper in Minneso-
ia to give the facts about the Lumley block fire,
which occurred yesterday morning at clock.
Owing to the lateness of the hour, however, it
was natter Of absolute impossibil;ty to col
lect and transmit all the details, and the Min
neapolis representative of the GLOBE forwards
the following additional facts:
Az indicated in the yesterday s dispatch, there
is little doubt the fire was the work Of an in
eendiary, though what the motive that prompt
ed it must ever remain mystery. When first
discovered the flames were pouring out of the
warehouses Of Messrs Lumley and Smith &
Day, and it was impossible to distinguish in
which of these two the fire originated. The
buildings were all of wood las were those that
composed the entire block and burned like
tarred paper.
The alarm once sounded, the fire depart ment
was soon on tho ground and at work, and
faithfully and TO some purpose did they direct
their efforts. Without one moments let-up,
for three hours they piled their efforts, and to
so good an effect that the fire was confined to
the two buildings where it was first discovered.
The upper floors of both buildings were used
as tenement houses, and it was not without con-
siderable difficulty that all the inmates we're
awakened and brought out safely.
THE LOSSES. -..
Mr.. Lumley is the largest loser, claiming
loss of $26, 1000, including building and stock,
with about $4,000 insurance.
Smith & Day rank next in the list of heavy
losers. Their stock of hardware they valued
at 100000 to $4,000, on which there was an
insurance of $4,000. Most of the stock was
saved, though some Of it was in a damaged
condition, and it is thought their insurance will
cover losses.
Edwin Stone was a tenant in the Lumley
block; lost all his household goods, valued at
$3.50. No insurance.
A. NJ. Evans and wife, newly welded, with
brand new furniture, valued at $500. No in
surance.
@. E. violl and wife, loss $3.50. No insur-
ance.
This covers about all tho losses. Had the
disaster happened few days later, there is no
certainty that there would not have been seri-
GUS loss of life, usually the building is filed
with tenants, and the flames made the most
rapid progress.
The insurance on property destroyed by tho
fire is set forth fully in the following carefully
compiled statement.
