NtEwpnder that some of the Northern and
Western States entertained feelings of sym
usSRry for our late carpet-baggers, for in them
the whole government Is carried on by carpet
baggers, from beginning to end. In the Legis-
laturc Of Minnesota, consisting OF 145 mem
bers. there Is not q single native OF the State
No less than fifty-five Of the legislators, or
two-fifths of the whole Legislature, is foreign
born. the natives of the Scandinavian PENN
sula having larger representation in the
Legislature of this American State than those
of any State in the Union. Nor are these legis-
lators the older settlers of Minnesota; there
are scores of them that have moved there since
1870, men who can scarcely consider them
selves as permanent settlers.
1t Is not strange that the Legislators of q
State in which the foreign element is as large
as In Minnesota, should regard as un-Ameri
can the people of the South, who can count up
a half a dozen generations of American an
cestors; nor is the sympathy felt for carpet
baggers strange in a country where all are
carpet-baggeis.
That State patriotism which takes the form
OF State rights, a sentiment naturally Southern,
is also easily explained. Love Of country is
not changcable like citizenship, in five years.
The wanderer who has had his home in a
dozen States, and who moves toward the set
ting sun with the tide of population, cannot
feel all that love for his last abode, his tenn
porary residence, that the Southerner does for
the home where his forefathers have lived for
generations, and where he himself was born.

One OF the grandest sort Of enter.
tsinments took place at Thea Navy
yard last week The United States
Steam ship NIpsic was launched.
She has been on the stocks in pro-
cess OF construction for nearly FIVE
years, and was the first vessel of the
kind that has been launched from
THE yard for about twenty. five
years. From 10000 to 10000 per-
sons were present, steamers, tugs
and sailboats in the river being
throDged with spectators among
whom were the Presidents family,
several Cabinet Members, Cong
ressmen and other officials. Tue
launch was a magnificent one, cue
cessful in every particular, and at

The thrill of life along her keel,

with joyous bound blowing deep
into the water and speeding straight
across the river never needing the
light anchor dropped at once to
once to stop her and coming to
terms only when she hit sand bank
into which she furroed half her
length and defied all tug power to
tow her off, but waited for the tide
TO lift her. The Nipsic will be

A very strange rumor is abroad
concerning certain statements made
by Genl Grants brother relative to
the Ex-Presldents absence from
this country and his prospects fer
reelection to the Presidency in
1880. He says that the proposition
to place the General on the retired
list instead OF being done to honor
and compliment the hero, is a trick
OF politicians to "shelve" him 20
that he cannot again become Pres
ldential candidate. The loquaclans
brother further states that Genl
Grant left Washington a poor man
and that, foreseeing the present
state of political and and Admins
trative confusion and turmoil he left
the country with the purpose o. re-
turning "just in the nick of time" TO
be made hero, leader and Pres

My idea Of good Democrat is one

his industry and trugslity, makes a
