STILL HOLDING THE FORT.

S11LL III x1OLDlN6 THE FORT.
The furious onslaught which the St. Paul
Republican politicians are making on their
Hennepin brethren, has not, as yet, brought
the desired surrender on the part of WASH
burn and Fletcher. Ex-Governor Marshall
filings the lie in the teeth of Fletcher and
DR.. Keith, while the Pioneer Press styles the
whole Washburn gang as "three card monte
tricksters.'' :
THE GLOBE makes no concealment of the
fact that it would like to see Washburn sur
render. It hopes to defeat the Republican
nominee, whoever he may be and will
''spread itself' to that end. AS Washburn is
undoubtedly stronger candidate than Stew
art, the GLOBE would like to see Mr.. Wash
burn commit political hari-kari by surren-
dering and thus admit that he had sought to
win by mean, dishonest trick. At the same
time such a triumph would not
only destroy Washburn, but it would
make it impossible to live in the same dis
trict with them. The fight is very pretty
one. 1t is cunning trickery and vast energy
on one side, and arrogant, insolence on the
other. The trickery can be defended as in
accordance with Republican precedent for
ton years past. The st. Paul politicians
think they have their Minneapolis bretbSen
by the throat and can command surrender.
1t remains to be seen which gang of sthree
card monte tricksters'' will win in the
struggle

ARTEMUs WARD won laurels for patriotism

Rutherford, who is thus reported:
II any person made any promises in his he
half, or entered into any bargain they did 40
without his knowledge, and he hoped their acts
would be exposed
This is grand in it's nobleness. If the
visiting statesmen stole the crown and placed
it on Ruthy's brow, he is willing they
shall suffer for their crime. This great and
good self-sacrifcing man has not yet in

President who rewarded the "visiting states
men, with fat Offices for their great crime.
Ruthy was in hurry when that point was

AUSTIN, May 20.-Heavy rain fell last
night, which done much good to the growing
crops.
In tho case of the disbarment of Coun-
tyAttorney Lafayette French, upon the infor-
nation Of A. E. Meigs, in the supreme court.
The case has been in progress before ]. NJ.
Greenman, referee. Mr.. French appeared in
person, Mr.. Meiggs, who is in tennessee, ap-
peared by w. II. Merrick, attorney. About
700 folios of testimony has been taken by
the referee within the last four weeks. It is
the general impression here that Mr.. French
will not be disbarred.
The witnesses in the impeachment case
go to st. Paul on Wednesday. The most
noticeable fact is that Page has among them
about dozen men who admit that they
know nothing in regard to the case, but
want simply to hear the case. Now who
pays for these men to hear the case?

Land Sales Il. Renvtlle Comntv.

To the Editor of the Globe:
REDwooD FALLS, Mimi, May 13, 1875
Sale of school and internal improvement
lands for Redwood county, came off here
yesterday, and was very largely attended,
drawing the largest crowd ever assembled
here. Competition was limited to few tracts,
About 81 900 acres we're offered, of which
10000 acres were bid off at prices ranging
from $6 to averaging about $5.70
per acre.
Tomorrow the sale for Renville county
occurs at Beaver Falls, and great rush is
anticipated. There will be much competi-
ton for lands contiguous to possible town
sites on the Hastings & Dakota railroad.
Business is looking up here, and immigra-
ton pouring in rapidly. The branch road
from Sleepy Eye to this point will be graded
in few weeks, and its completion promises
well for the future of Redwood Falls.

Il GUILTY CONSCIENCE.

If the trite saying relative to guilty
conscience needing no accuser ever had .
forcible illustration, it is in the case of act
ing President Hayes. In the report of the
interview which appeared in yesterdays
GLOBE Mr.. Hayes is represented as con-
ceding that the Investigation inaugurated
into the Florida and Louisiana frauds may
oust him from the Presidency. He grants
that his title is not secure, and that it can
be tested by writ of quo aoa1ranto on the
part of Tilden, or an act Of Congress.
AS matter of fact, the investigating
resolutions do not contemplate disturbing
the Presidential title. They very properly
propose to officially investigate the frauds
which the electoral commission refused to
consider. Every one knows that the frauds
were perpetrated, but every one does not adj
nit the fact, because there is no official
proof. It is eminently proper, as safe
guard against it's repetition, that this great
crime should be made odious by the most
thorough exposure. If this exposure dis
turbs the business of the country, it is the
Republican party of the country which is
responsible. That party perpetrated the
crime, and no plea of business necessity
should be allowed to shield them.
That organization stood ready to plunge the
| country into a civil war rather than surren-
der it's control of the government, and no
plea of business distress should now avail to
screen them. There will be no business dis
| tress. The exposure of crime does not disturb
business, while its concealment is the dan
gerous element.
If the investigation should develop the
bargain made by the Visiting Statesmen y
and it should appear that Hayes upon reach
| ing the Presidency bestowed appointments
upon them because of their successful bar
gain, he would be clearly liable to impeach-
ment and removal from Office. All this could
| be done under due form of law without dis
turbing or exciting the country. That is
| what may befall Mr.. Hayes, and is what he
deserves. If justice is done, this result will
be reached, and Mr.. Hayes removed TO,
high crimes and misdemeanors, without
disturbing his title. The title is not what
the Democracy is after. That organization
| seeks something more efficient than an
| empty title.
